CHAPTER 8: To Redeem This Empty Life.

January 11th 7pm Eastern Standard Time

(At Roger and Mimi's)

"1..2..3..HIT IT"

Max began banging on the drums and then Victoria came in with her electric guitar. Elise began to sing.

How do you document relief when real life's getting more like fiction each day? Headlines-deadlines..

Everyone stopped.

"El, for the last time…its BREAD-LINES not deadlines." Victoria said in a frustrated tone.

"This song is stupid. I don't want to sing it."

"Will you shut up and just sing?" Scotty said.

Elise started beating her brother with the microphone.

"STOP!" Max said picking Elise up.

"Lets just start where I come in." Victoria said

How do you write a song when the chords sound wrong…

"Wait." Elise interrupted.

"Dammit." Scotty said.

Luke: Now Scotty has adopted Elise's bad mouth.

"El, will you please sit down and shut up?" Max asked nicely.

"I am holding a protest against you people!" Elise said.

"Your not Mom." Scotty said.

"But you're an ass like dad." Elise shot back.

"I agree with you, but aren't you a bit young to be cursing?" Roger asked coming down the stairs.

"Sorry Uncle Roger." Elise said looking down.

"Its ok. I was like that when I was a kid. When Mark got his camera he use to say' Zoom in on Roger's bad mouth.'." Roger said laughing.

"That's what I say." Luke said with excitement.

"You remind me of your dad a lot." Roger said smiling. "So how is your band going?"

"Ok." They said dryly.

"What's your name?"

They all looked at each other.

"That's the first thing you do." Roger said getting up.

Roger sat with the kids for hours trying to think of names. They came up with so many names and couldn't decide

"How about The Spiders?" Scotty asked.

They all shook their heads.

"Come on we need to be original." Roger said.

"Bohemian 5!" Elise said.

"I was thinking we could be called 'Rent'?" Max suggested.

"That's nice." Victoria said.

"To plain." Luke said.

"Filmy's right, we need to add something."

"Filmy?" They all said looking at each other.

"RENTHEADS!" Max said thinking out loud.

"That's what I'm talking about." Roger said giving Max an high five.

Everyone agreed.

January 15th 10am Eastern Standard Time

Mickey walked in the bedroom after taking a shower to find Mark still in bed.

"Mickey, before you say anything…. I'm not going to pick my mom up, she can walk here for all I care." Mark said with the covers over his face.

"You wouldn't have your 58 year old Mother walk to The East Village, Mark."

"You go pick her up then."

"It's your Mother."

"Sadly yes, but you invited her."

Mickey crawled on top of Mark and removed the covers off his face.

"I'll go pick her up if you come with me." Mickey begged.

"No." Mark said firmly.

Mickey signed.

"If you don't go I wont have sex with you for a month." Mickey warned.

"Honey, I've lasted two years before."

"BUT for the past eight years you've had the best sex of your life."

"I wouldn't say it was the best." Mark said in a serious tone.

He started laughing.

"Now its 2 months." Mickey said laughing.

"I was joking." Mark whined.

January 15th 11am Eastern Standard Time

Mickey and Mark walked out of the bedroom and Maureen and Mimi were in the living room.

"Mark, do you think you can last 2 mouths?" Mimi teased.

"Shut up." Mark said blushing.

"Ok, lets go." Mickey said grabbing her purse.

"Who are you going to pick up?" Maureen asked.

"Mark's Mom." Mickey said smiling.

"Your going to have that bitch here?" Maureen asked in a disgusted voice.

Mickey and Mimi couldn't believe Maureen called Mark's mom a bitch right in front of him.

Mark's POV

My Mother is what I like to call 'June Clever' reincarnated, she always thinks she's better then everyone around her. Growing up I always had to have my hair a neat way, wear stupid suits, sing in the church choir, and stay away from Roger.

What I did was when I got to school I would mess my hair up, I would have a pair of extra cloths in my locker at school to change in, I would got to Roger's house instead of church, and I always hung out with Roger 24/7. Those were some fun times. Right now I am scared out of my mind for many reasons.

One is that she'll freak when she finds out where I live, two I haven't told her about Sami, three I haven't told her that Mickey is HIV positive, four she wont be happy that I still hang around Roger and Maureen, and five She'll have a heat attack when she meets Angel.

Maureen's POV

Mark's Mom is a wicked nauseating bitch, she treats him like he's a fucking pet, I remember when I first met her, she told me I was using Mark because I needed an extra person to show of what I had between my legs. I could have smacked the taste out of her mouth.

Whenever Mark is around her, he has to act like a little school boy. That shit makes me sick, she told me one time that I wasn't aloud to drink in her house because I wasn't a responsible adult and I told her to go fuck her pots and pans, I think that was the last time I saw her. Mark had to drag me out before I kicked her ass.

Roger's POV

Mrs. Hohen…..that's what I use to call her when Mark and I were kids, she never liked me very well, she started to hate me when I cheated on Mark's older sister Cindy. Good times…… she always saw me influencing Mark in a negative way, but never saw Mark influencing me in a positive way, if it wasn't for Mark I wouldn't be alive today.

The only time I didn't listen to Mark was when it came to smack, he hated the fact that I did that shit, she thought I would get him hooked and tried to get him to move back home, he said no like 80 times. Even when I was going through withdrawal, she would try to get Mark away.

(At the loft)

January 15th 11:35am Eastern Standard Time

When Mark parked the car Mrs. Cohen looked at the building.

"Where are we?" Mrs. Cohen asked.

"Home." Mickey said with a smile.

She started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Mickey asked.

"Your serious?"

"Yes, Mom." Mark said with his head on the steering wheel.

They slid the loft door opened and Mrs. Cohen looked around with a disappointed look on her face. Mimi came out of Sami's room.

"Hey guys." Mimi said.

"Here are my bags, dear. I'll tip you later." said giving Mimi the suitcases.

Mimi gave her the 'What the fuck?' look.

"Mom, this is Mimi, Roger's wife." Mark said blushing.

"And my sister." Mickey said giving her Mother-in-law an evil look.

"That lowlife is married?"

Before Mimi could say anything Mickey stepped in.

"Thank you, sis. I'll see you tonight." Mickey said walking Mimi out the door.

"Where's Mo?" Mickey asked shutting the door.

"She left. Scotty had a fight at school…I'm going to kick her ass." Mimi said referring to Mark's Mom.

"I know what you mean." Mickey said with a smirk.

When Mickey came back in Mrs. Cohen was looking around again.

"Where's my Grandson at?"

"He's at school, he wont be home until five , because he has band practice at four over at Rogers and Mimi's."

"You let him around, Luke?"

"Yes, Roger is Luke's Uncle." Mickey said with an attitude.

"Your all set ,Mom." Mark said coming out of the spare room.

Sami started crying and Mickey went to get her.

"Sami, this is your Grandma." Mickey said.

"Marcus Cohen, why didn't you tell me you and Michelle had another one?"

"It slipped my mind." Mark mumbled.

Mickey gave him a look and he shrugged.

"You should get fixed. Your to old to have anymore children, Mark. Do you want to be chasing kids around at 50?"

Mickey and Mark glared at her.

"Oh Baby, Meems said that Maureen will see us tonight, she had to go to Scotty's school because he got into a fight." Mickey said changing the subject.

"Maureen Johnson? The one that left you for another woman?" Mark's Mom asked.

"Yes, Mom."

"I cant believe you still hang around that eagle spreader. Did you say she has kids?"

"Yes, Mom."

"Did you donate your sperm?" Mark's mom asked nervously.

"NO!"

Mark and Mickey rolled their eyes.

(At the life)

January 15th 8pm Eastern Standard Time.

When Mark and Mickey came into the Life, everyone at their table stopped talking.

"Everyone, this is my Mom." Mark said dryly.

"MAMA!" Angel said running up to her.

"This is Angel." Mark introduced. gave Angel a confused look. When Angel sat down Mrs. Cohen whispered in Mark's ear.

"Is that a man?"

Mark just ignored his Mother and sat down.

"Mom, this is Joanne, Maureen's wife."

"So you're the one who ruined my sons pride?"

Joanne gave her a death glare.

"I thought you blamed that on me?" Maureen snapped.

"I see your still a whorebag." Mrs. Cohen said.

"Its better then being a bittier old bag." Maureen said smiling.

Everyone else's jaws dropped.

"Hi, Roger. How many more diseases have you caught since the last time I saw you?"

Mimi got up, but Roger held her back.

"None, I've been safe and clean for 11 years now." Roger said with a grin.

"Honey, I cant believe you would risk your life on someone with short amount of time on the planet." Mrs. Cohen said shaking her head.

"I'm HIV positive too." Mimi snapped.

"Oh, did you two meet at a crack house? "

"YOU BITCH!" Roger and Mimi said.

They grabbed Victoria and stormed out.

"What the hell is your problem?" Mickey said standing up.

"That's what I would like to know?" Joanne mumbled.

Collins and Angel stood up.

"We gonna go on home." Collins said rushing to the door.

"I guess it was nice meeting you , Mrs. Cohen." Max said as they left.

"Come on ,Pookie." Maureen said.

They were next to leave. Mickey felt like everything was her fault. Damn that women was cruel. Mickey thought to herself . Mark was furious, he had never head his mother so evil in his life.

(At the loft)

January 15th 11pm Eastern Standard Time

Mark got in bed and Mickey crawled in bed next to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Before Mickey could speak Mark jumped ahead of her.

"I told you so."

"I cant wait till Monday." Mickey said exhaustingly

"Told you so."

"STOP SAYING THAT!"

"You've learned your lesson." Mark said kindly.

"And everyone had to pay."

"I am pissed that she pissed off everyone." Mark said rubbing her back.

(Roger and Mimi's)

"THAT BITCH!" Mimi said throwing herself on the bed.

"You can say that again. I've never been to a crack house a day in my life." Roger said in an irritated tone.

"Who the fuck does she think she is?"

"Queen of Scarsdale."

"Did you see how she was looking at Angel?"

"That pissed me off too." Roger said wrapping his arms around her.

"This morning she thought I was Mickey and Mark's maid."

"Your fucking kidding me?" Roger said shaking his head.

"No, I'm not."

(Collins and Angel's)

"I didn't like how Mark's Mom was looking at you." Angel said as her and Collins laid in bed.

"Me? I didn't like how she was looking at YOU." Collins said.

"Right…but I think she was undressing you with her eyes."

"I'm honored." Collins said with a smile.

Angel looked at him and he looked a her, they both started laughing.

"That women is trouble." Collins said.

"You got that right. I wonder how she's going to take Mickey being HIV positive?" Angel asked.

"That's what I was thinking."

(Maureen and Joanne's)

"I HATE HER." Maureen said kicking her feet under the covers.

"Will you stop kicking me?" Joanne asked. "How did I ruin Mark's pride? I never knew about him until you finally broke up with him."

"She was just being an asshole."

Joanne started laughing.

"What?"

"You just called Mark's Mom an asshole."

"I'm sick of calling her a bitch." Maureen shrugged.
