Chapter Two
It was October and a chilly breeze made its way down the streets causing Mimi to hold her jacket closed in an attempt keep warm. She walked quickly through the streets and alleyways one, because she wanted to get there as soon as possible and two, because she needed to talk to Angel. She needed her best friend.
When she got to the small apartment that Collins and Angel shared she opened the door not bothering to knock. She walked inside only to find Collins sitting on the couch a stack of papers lying on the coffee table in front of them. Collins looked up when he heard the door open and smiled when he Mimi.
"Hey Meems," he said kindly.
"Is Angel here?"
"No, she went to the market. Is something wrong?" he asked when he saw the distraught look at Mimi's face.
"Uh, no," she replied. "I just wanted to talk to her."
"Okay," he said focusing his attention on the paper he was grading.
When Mimi didn't leave he looked up.
"Mimi?" He asked. He looked concerned now. Mimi almost wanted to tell him but she didn't she wanted to talk to Angel. Besides if she told Collins he would probably tell Mark who would then tell Roger.
"I'll she you later," she said dismissively before walking out the door.
When Mimi reached the market she frantically searched for her friend hoping she hadn't left yet. When she finally spotted Angel she ran over to her.
"Angel!" she exclaimed practically shrieking.
"Hey girlfriend," Angel said smiling her wide smile. Normally that smile alone would have been enough to brighten her day but today was different. Angel looked at Mimi studying her best friends face. "What wrong," she asked. Her smile faded and quickly turned into a look of concern.
"I need to talk to you," Mimi said trying not to cry. Angel quickly set down the basket she was holding full of items she was going to buy and put her arm around her friend.
"Come on," she said leading Mimi out the door.
They walked out of the market exposing themselves to the cold wind.
"Come on its cold out here why don't we go back to my apartment and-"
"No," Mimi interrupted. She shook her head. "Collins is there."
"Then the loft?"
"Mark and Roger are probably back by now."
"Then how about the life?" Angel offered hoping that her friend would agree.
"Okay,"
