I Should Tell You
(Present Day)
December 26th 1989
8:45pm E.S.T.
"I should tell you I'm disaster… I forget how to being it."
April sat down so they couldn't see her and she watched… She shook her head – Mimi was dead.
"Let's just make this part go faster… I have yet to be in it… I should tell you…"
"I should tell you." Roger crossed his arms across his chest as they walked farther into the alley.
"I should tell you…"
"I should tell you." They walked a little farther and Mimi looked up to the sky as the snow fell.
"I should tell I blew the candle out, just to get back in." She let her fingers walk up Roger's arm and linger there for a couple of seconds before she dropped her hand.
"I'd forgotten how to smile – until your candle burned my skin."
"I should tell you."
"I should tell you." Roger repeated and April almost choked. Roger had never been this sweet to her – why did he like Mimi?
"I should tell you…" Mimi said and they both faced each other, but did nothing. They started to walk again.
"I should tell you… Well here we go, now we-" Their footsteps were forever marked in the snow. They looked at each other every once and a while but mainly their focus was on the ground or the sky, they were waiting for the snow to start.
Mimi looked away. "Oh no…"
Roger stopped walking. "I know – this something is… Here goes."
"Here goes." Mimi repeated and Roger rubbed his hand against hers. She smiled as her other hand rubbed her freezing cold arm.
"Guess so, it's starting to – who knows..."
"Who knows…" They stopped and faced each other as they joined hands. Mimi smiled as they both sang together.
"Who knows where? Whose goes there? Who knows? Here goes?" They were only inches apart from each other…
"Trusting desire – starting to learn… Walking through fire without a burn. Clinging a shoulder – a leap begins. Stinging and older, asleep on pins… So here we go now we-" They were now walking along the alley way, hands still joined.
"Oh no…" They both stopped due to Roger stopping and looking around – afraid that this was wrong with April being here and her being his ex.
"I know." Mimi sang and they started to walk again.
"Who knows where? Who goes there? Here goes…"
Mimi sighed and smiled again, not knowing that April was plotting a way to get her back. "Here goes… Here goes…"
Roger looked up to the sky and smiled with Mimi. "Here goes – here goes… Here goes." They both stopped singing and leaned forward capturing each others lips. They broke apart just as the first snowflake fell that night.
"Kiss me – its beginning to snow." Mimi whispered and that's exactly what Roger did.

(Present Day)
December 26th 1989
9:00pm E.S.T.
April had seen enough, she had left the Life Café and was making her way home in the cold. She ran through the snow upset by everything that had happened. Roger and Mimi being friends was one thing, but them being boyfriend and girlfriend was another. She hated it – she would do her worst to make Mimi disappear from Roger's life. She brushed her red hair out of her face and ran up the stairs of her building. She unlocked the door and slid it open. She looked around for Mimi's stuff. She found it packed up and moved to the pull out couch.
Perfect, it made it easier for her to throw Mimi out. Collins had moved in and now it was time for Mimi to move out. April picked up one of the boxes and pushed it out the door. It hit the wall with a 'thump'. April picked up the next box and kicked it. Something crashed inside of it. Mimi wasn't going to like this at all. She laughed slightly and brushed some of her red hair out of her face again. She pinned it back before pushing all the rest of the boxes out of the room. She looked at the kitchen counters and found something sparkling in the dim light.
Mimi's keys. She laughed and grabbed the keys and ran outside to where the boxes were. She opened one of the boxes and dropped the keys in. She ran back inside of the loft and grabbed a sharpie and a piece of paper. She quickly wrote down a note. Should she kick out Angel also? Angel might cause a problem – but she had done nothing wrong so she couldn't kick Angel out.
April had given Mimi plenty of warning to stay away from Roger, but she just didn't want to listen to her warnings. She shook her head – she would deal with Angel later. She looked over the boxes that had piled up. Mimi had moved everything out of the room that she had recently shared with Angel because of Collins. She had been so willing because she loved Angel like a sister that she never had. Yes of course Mimi had sisters, but Angel was the only good sister that she had. April wouldn't be surprised if Angel and Mimi were related. She read the note over again and decided it was worth it.
She had loved Roger forever and Mimi was getting in the way. She didn't want to deal with this at all. So she shut the door, deciding against all the thoughts of taking the stuff back into to the loft. She locked the door and sat down on the couch. She spotted a carton of strawberry cheesecake that was half eaten. She stuffed it into her house and sipped some of the coffee that was sitting there. She didn't care whose it was – it could be Collins for all she cared – she was just starving from now eating anything at dinner. She then thought back to the note. Had she been too harsh? No, she hadn't, Mimi deserved anything that was coming to her. She repeated the words that she had written down in her head.
Mimi – chica!
This is your stuff; please take it to wherever you want because you don't live here anymore. Go back to the hole you crawled out of – and I mean that lovingly of course. I know what you did with Roger and this time I'm not going to forgive you. I gave you plenty of warning and this is what you give me. Go back to Mexico bitch.
XOXO
April – call me when you get a life.
April laughed to herself, she knew that Mimi wasn't from Mexico but she also knew that Mimi hated it when people told her she was from Mexico. She shook her head that would really get on Mimi's nerves but she didn't care. She stared at the wall for about two hours.
She looked at the clock: 11:00pm E.S.T. She had stayed in that chair for hours before anyone found her. She never even heard the cries that were let out as Mimi found the boxes and the note.
