(Present Day)
March 1st 1991
7:35pm E.S.T.
" Roger!" A familiar voice yelled and everybody rushed over to the window, the even made Roger come out of his room. He looked down and even in the rain, her hair soaking wet and her clothing clinging to her thin body, she looked beautiful.
Mimi. Was all he thought before he rushed down the fire escape.
" Roger." She stated and almost fell over, if Roger hadn't been there. He held her against him as the rain pelted down on them. She was crying, even though he couldn't see it, he knew she was crying. He felt like he was going to cry also.
"Where did you go Mimi?"
"I – I was living on the streets for awhile… Then I came here." She laughed slightly and then started to cough, making Roger hold on to her tighter. Her arms looked exactly the same, they didn't look like she had been using again. Mimi's arms loosened a little bit.
"Are you sick?"
"I don't know… I stopped using after Angel saw me, but I knew I couldn't come back." She whimpered. "She hates me."
"She doesn't hate you Meems… She was just worried about you." She stopped breathing for a second and collapsed in Roger's arms. He shook her gently.
" Mimi, Mimi… Wake up." He looked at her and she opened her eyes. He knew that she probably was dying from this rain. She was sick and he could fell it. She started to sing in a soft weak voice as he carried her up the stairs.
"I should tell you… I should tell you." He smiled and opened the loft door as everybody crowded around them.
"I should tell you, I should tell you." He sang back to her and Mimi smiled then turned her head to the side and started coughing.
"There's no room on the couch!" Angel cried and then looked towards the counter. "Let's put her there."
"I'll get the blanket, you get the pillow!" Mark yelled and pointed towards Joanne. Joanne ran and snatched the pillow from the couch. She placed it on the counter as Mark threw the blanket on the counter in an attempt to make the counter softer.
"We need some heat…" Maureen said and looked around; Collins was already on the phone.
"There's no time for that, I'm calling 911." Collins started to curse, "I'm on hold!"
Roger gently placed Mimi down and her head rested back against the pillow. She sighed and looked around at the others almost if telling them that this was okay. Roger ran his fingers through her tangled hair and waited for her to say something. She lay there looking more helpless then ever. Her tangled curls were fanned out around her and she was shivering. Angel looked around for something and then grabbed Collins' coat. She threw it over Mimi who smiled at her. Angel leaned forward and kissed Mimi's forehead. She stood there and Mimi extended her hand, which Angel took happily.
"I should tell you Benny wasn't any-"
"Shhh… I know, I should tell you why I left, it wasn't 'cause I didn't-"
"I know… I should tell you." She gripped Angel's hand causing Angel to place a hand on Mimi's shoulder.
"I should tell you."
"I should tell you… I love you." There, she had said it, she had said that she loved him and she meant it. She would never take it back, even when the thought of April passed in her mind. She looked around as everything and everybody got blurry. She closed her eyes and started to cough, Roger's voice invaded in her mind.
"Who do you think you are? Leaving me alone with my guitar… Hold on there's something you should hear, it isn't much, but it took all year." He left her side for a second then came back; she had no idea what he was doing. She just lay back and relaxed for a second. Angel gripped her hand tighter and she could sense that Angel was starting to cry. Mimi heard the first few chords of a song.
"Your eyes… As we said our good-byes..."
