AN- Here's chapter 19. I hope you enjoy it! I don't know how many more chapters there's going to be, but I've thought of an ending! Hooray!
Once Mark closed the door, Gwen immediately walked over and took his hand. "How'd it go?" She asked.
He shrugged. "Fairly good. Better than I was expecting." He said kissing Gwen on the cheek. She giggled and pulled him over to the couch.
They both sat down. "Collins and Jesse are so nice! I'm so glad no one hates me for…" She shrugged. "You know." She laughed. Mark nodded and laughed as well.
"You've got a good one Mark. She's a keeper." Collins said grinning, and wrapping his arm around Jesse. Jesse kissed Collins ear, making Collins scrunch up his nose and laugh.
"Yeah! Gwen is so awesome!" Jesse said, giggling loudly because Tom grabbed his side, and apparently found his 'tickle spot'.
Gwen laughed loudly. "You have really nice friends!" She was beaming. Mark had never seen her so happy, he was glad everyone accepted her. There was only one person left to meet Gwen. Roger.
Roger walked out of his room. He stopped and stared at the two couples. He shook his head and walked out of the apartment. He didn't say anything, and the couples didn't say anything to him. After he walked out, the giddiness in the room took over and everyone laughed.
MEANWHILE
Mimi sat alone in her apartment, shaking violently. She was crying and sitting in a fetal position. Why is he such an asshole? Not only was she upset by the brawl between her and Roger, but she was suffering from withdrawal. Being sober wasn't easy after all.
There was a soft knock on her door. She didn't say anything. There was another knock, followed by a voice.
"Mimi?" Came Roger's voice. "Are you in there?"
She was still silent. She sniffled loudly and started coughing. Roger opened the door quickly and ran inside. He saw her instantly. "Mimi!"
He sat down and wrapped his arms around her. She cried loudly and sniffled into his shirt. He rubbed her back softly, and kissed her head.
"I'm so sorry babe." He said holding Mimi close. "I truly mean it."
A loud sob escaped her. She could seem to find her voice to speak. She looked up at him and sniffled again. She blinked a couple of times and her crying subsided. "M-me too…I love you Roger."
Roger kissed her softly. "I love you too." He said softly. "Why don't we go back up to my apartment…Mark's new…" He stopped. "Uh…girlfriend…is up there." He said smiling.
"He finally found someone? Oh that's good." She said, her mood now cheery. "I can't wait to meet her…have you met her?" She asked, getting up off her couch. "What's she like?"
"All I know, is that her name is Gwen." Roger nodded. "She looked pretty when I saw her…"
"Mark deserves a good girl" Mimi smiled. "After what Maureen did to him…" She shook her head, grinning slightly. "Well are you coming?"
Roger got up. "Yeah…might as well." He said grinning. Mimi smiled and grabbed his hand, leading him to the door.
They walked up to Roger's apartment and went in. Collins, Jesse, Mark and Gwen looked up. Mimi walked right over to Gwen and extended her hand. "Hi! I'm Mimi, you must be Gwen!"
"Yeah, nice to meet you Mimi." She said in her distinctively deep voice. Mimi's eye's widened as she looked back at Roger, who was grinning. She looked back to Gwen and smiled.
"So…" Mimi searched for something to say. "Mark…when did you meet Gwen?" She asked, turning back to Roger and mouthing 'Is Mark Gay?' He nodded, a smirk forming on his face. I knew it.
