Whraaaaaaack I've been gone for a while. I had literally 48 FF-bot alerts in my inbox when I came back. But guess what? There was only one REVIEW one! You know how to make this better… right? Anyhow. I wrote this one on the plane ride home. And I got really weird looks from my friends on either side (I was in the middle). But, a thank-you goes out to Ellie (I'm not sure of her FF pen name) for helping me out.

-checks watch- nope, still don't own RENT.

She froze

Oh, shit

Stuttering

"I- I can explain"

"No"

No?

"Don't explain. I get it."

Only the wall supports her

Then she gives way

Sobbing

Don't cry. Please. Don't cry.

I did this for life, not for tears.

I rushed over to her

Unfamiliar with the clump-clump of

Heels that were following me.

Kneeling down

I tried to comfort her

A whispered word

"Angel."

"I miss her, too, Mimi."

I hugged her tighter

We huddled together

In the corner of the room

Mimi and Mark.

Mimi and… Angel.
