THE LONG AWAITED UPDATES!!!
Yes, it took me long enough. I am regretful of my misuse of good time, but I am making up for it now!
The major problem was that I have a bunch of chapters in a notebook-written out by hand. I never got around to typing the stuff. And THEN, my computer decided to not like me.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters. I don't even own emotion. I rent.
Here is CHAPTER 3
Roger ran to his room where Mimi had been lying for the past two months, save doctor visits.
"Mimi?! Are you alright?" hyperventilated Roger.
The poor girl was practically hacking up a lung with her coughing. One of her various symptoms. She was only getting worse and anybody with sense could see. It was only false hope to think that she could recover, especially with full blown AIDS.
"Yes." She squeezed out in between coughs, "I'm alright."
"Do you need anything?"
"No. It's okay."
Her hunger had left her.
"Do you want me to stay?"
"That would be nice," she grinned to him.
Roger tucked himself underneath the layers of quilts, blankets, and sheets to lie beside Mimi. He reached out to her face. She had lost a lot of weight, which she had never needed to lose. Her cheek bones protruded as her eyes that he had once sung about seemed to fall back into her head. He still thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world.
"Hey Roger?"
"Yeah?"
"What is death like?"
"Are you scared?"
"No. Well, a little. I just wish…I knew what to expect."
"Not a whole lot can really tell you."
They both squeezed out smiles.
"Well, Mimi, what's your favorite moment in your life?"
"When we both walked out of the Life Café. It was the day we met; Christmas Eve."
Roger couldn't help but grin. It was his favorite moment too.
"Well, you go to heaven, and relive that moment over and over again."
"Who says I'll even go to heaven?"
"I do."
"No offense, but you're not God."
"I know," Roger laughed, "But I'll pray and put in a good word for you. You deserve heaven. God can see that. He can see it right now."
"That doesn't sound too bad."
"And then, one day I'll join you. And we will be together for all time."
"I love you Roger."
"I love you too Mimi."
As Mimi began to drift to sleep again, Roger silently cried.
Why did she want to talk about death again? She wasn't going to die. Fuck the doctor. She would not die while he took care of her.
So…REVIEW. I will post more chapters if I get AT LEAST 4 more reviews!
