Me: Okay guys, everyone has to shut up today.
Angel: Why?
Me: This is the turning point
(Collins walks in)
Angel: YAYY!
Me: (locks them all in closet)
Roger wasn't expected to recover that quickly after his miraculous return. Apparently the life support was only so much to keep Collins alive and his body simply gave up fighting after awhile. A few weeks later, Roger was released from the hospital and they planned for Collins funeral. All of his NYU colleagues and life support members came to pay their last respects to their friend and co-worker.
After the funeral our heroes returned to the loft with one less bohemian this time. Joanne had walked in where everyone else had sat down with an envelope in her hand.
"Guys, I think there's something you all need to know. Before Collins died he left me this and told me to only tell you after he died. It's a letter that sounds like a will but I really think you need to see it."
She pulled out the letter and began reading
"To my family,
If you are reading this, it means that the virus finally took hold of me. I wanted to let you all know how much you mean to me and how I will miss you. Keep a look out for Jason and make sure he stays clean. Anyway, enough of that hall-marky stuff here's the point.
A few days before I wrote this I was walking home from NYU and decided to play the numbers…yeah the lotto. I figured what the hell I had a few bucks to spare. Long story short I found out that night I won but didn't say anything to you all in fear of causing chaos. Since I'm not gonna be able to enjoy it I figured I'd leave it to you."
She paused as she saw the next line
"My winnings should be distributed as followed out of the sum of 100,00 dollars
To my son Jason Thomas Collins I leave you 5,000 dollars to be used towards college or finding an apartment for you and Angelo if you two decide to move out. Take care of that boy Jase and don't let him slip away. To Mark and Ryan I leave you 2,000, maybe now Mark can do another film or Ryan can start one. To Roger and Ria I leave you 2,000 to hopefully get you two decent guitars and stop annoying everyone in the loft with the out tuned fenders. To Mo, Joanne and Kyle I leave you 2,000 too. Use it well. An additional 10,000 should be put away in case of another hospital trip and the rest donate to AIDS research. Oh and Jason gets all of my philosophy books too, I know he'll be a great philosopher someday. Good luck guys, don't dwell on losing me and remember to live out each day to the max."
They all sat there in shock. Jason the most shocked of them all. He never thought his dad accepted his boyfriend but here he was leaving them 5 grand to rent an apartment? Angelo came up beside him and sat down.
"Honey, I know you've been through enough but I think I should tell you my test results."
Jason looked up as Angelo pulled out the result letter.
Angel: (chokes me)
Collins: What now?
Me: Eat
Ducky: YAYY
Angel: R&R!
Ducky: I have chicken!
