Hello! I still only have one review. Rawr! Here's Chapter 10. Wow…10 whole chapters, I can't believe my attention span lasted this long! Well again, I don't own any characters but Gwen and Jesse. Enjoy!

"Mimi I'm going upstairs to get some clothes, and then we can go for lunch." Roger said walking out of Mimi's apartment. He walked up several stairs before he was nearly knocked down by Jesse running down the flight of stairs.

"Oh…Roger, I'm so sorry." Jesse said, trying to avert Roger's gaze.

Jesse was crying and hyperventilating. Roger frowned. "Are you ok?" He asked, stopping Jesse from continuing down the stairs.

"Yeah I'm fine…I have to go…" He said quickly, starting down the stairs again. "I'll see you later." He ran down the rest of the stairs and out the front door.

Roger stood for a minute, frowning. What the hell's up with him? He thought, he shrugged the thought off quickly though. He continued up the stairs and walked into his apartment. Collins was sitting on the couch, his face in his hands. He looked up when Roger shut the door. Roger didn't say anything; he walked into his room and grabbed a pair of jeans and a shirt. He walked out and stopped for a minute, looking at Tom.

"Hey…uh…" He didn't know whether or not to bring up Jesse. "Where's Mark?"

Collins pointed to Mark's room. "He's been in there a while." Collins said softly.

"Oh." Roger looked at his feet and then back up at Collins. "What was wrong with Jesse? He was really upset when he nearly knocked me down a flight of stairs…"

"I don't know…he just…left." Collins got up off the couch. "Everyone is so touchy today."

"Oh…well Mimi and I are going to lunch…I'll be back up here later." Roger gave a sympathetic smile to Collins before he exited the apartment.

Meanwhile

Mark sat on his bed, swearing to himself. Great, just fucking great. Now Collins thinks I'm gay. He sighed loudly and looked out the window. I'm not gay. His thoughts rattled his brain. I can't be. A loud ring came from his bag. He dove for it and dug through it's contents until he came across his large bulky cell phone. He held it up to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Mark? It's Gwen…"

"Oh hey…how's it going?"

"Pretty good…I was wondering, would you like to come over my place tonight? I know we just had lunch, but we could order some take out…watch a movie…"

"That sounds really good Gwen. I need to get out of here."

"Well if you need to get out that bad…I can come to your place and meet you there…then I'll know where you live, and then we can head to my place…"

"Um…sure Gwen. I live in that big complex…you know, the one with the huge window on the top floor. Call me when you get here, I'll throw down the keys for you…"

"Oh I know exactly where that is. I'll be there in ten. Bye!" Click.

Mark put his phone away. He put his bag on his bed and threw a couple things into it. He zipped it up and put the strap over his shoulder. He walked out of his room and noticed Collins was sitting on the couch without Jesse.

"Where'd Jesse go?" Mark asked, glancing out the window.

"I don't know…he left." Tom sighed loudly.

"Oh…" Before Mark could say anything else his cell phone rang. He reached into his bag and grabbed it. "Hello? Hi! Ok I'll throw 'em down." He hung up. He ran over to the window and opened it. He stepped out onto the fire escape. Gwen waved at him.

"Here, catch!" Mark tossed the key down. She caught it and walked to the front door of the building. Mark went back inside and shut the window.

Collins looked at him awkwardly. "Who was that?"

"Gwen…she just came to pick me up…we're heading back to her place for the night." Mark said looking at Collins. Collins opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come on in!" Mark yelled.

The door was swung open and Gwen walked in. Collins' stared, his mouth agape. Gwen flipped her long brown hair and walked over to Mark. Mark saw the expression on Collins' face, he shot him 'don't say anything' look. Collins stood up.

"Hi…I guess you're Gwen? I'm Tom…Collins…Mark's friend." He offered his hand to Gwen.

"Nice to meet you." Gwen smiled sweetly and shook his hand. Collins' eyes grew wide when she spoke. Gwen really is a man. Collins thought, looking at Mark, who kept a steady gaze on him.

"Well I think we'll get going now…" Mark said slowly. Gwen smiled broadly and linked arms with Mark, who was thoroughly surprised by this move.

"Well let's go." Gwen dragged Mark to the door. "Bye Tom!"

Mark looked back at Collins, his eyes wide with anticipation. Collins laughed and winked at him. "Bye." He said in a suggestive voice. Once the door closed, Collins laughed even louder. "That boy is going to have a very interesting night."
