Author's note: A bit out of character? Or No? Badly written. Yes. I tried, but it's my first time writing a Rent story, please forgive me.

Chapter Two

Drinking Night

"Do you really think you should be drinking Ang?" Collins asked as he straightened his tie in the mirror.

"I'll be fine, it's only one little drink." She said as she brought the beer bottle to her lips again.

"I'll get a promotion if this interview goes well." He said, and began to become frustrated when his tie wouldn't cooperate.

Angel set down the bottle with a small laugh. "Here, let me." She walked over and made the tie perfectly straight, letting her fingers linger on his neck before pulling away.

"Thanks." He said with a smile. "I'll be back around eleven."

"I'll probably be asleep. You know I hate staying awake."

"Maybe you could go visit Mimi." Collins suggested as he grabbed his case.

"Good idea!" She happily kissed him. "I'll be over at the loft."

Angel left the apartment with him, grabbing the case of beer as she exited. She kissed him one more time as they stood at the bus stop.

Collins got into the waiting cab, while Angel boarded the bus.

Not even ten minutes later she was knocking on Mimi's door. "I thought you'd like to have a drinking night with me."

"Hey Angel! Of course. You know I love our drinking nights." Mimi said happily.

Angel held a crying Mimi in her arms a while later.

"I just don't understand. Why is Roger so angry at me for using? I mean, he seems to hate me." She said as she cried onto Angel's shoulder.

"It's okay sweetie. He just doesn't want you hurt." Angel cooed.

Mimi continued to cry on Angel's shoulder for a bit longer. A while later she said, "I love you." And then drifted to sleep.

Angel smiled slightly and let go of Mimi, and got off the couch, lightly putting Mimi's head on a pillow.

As she watched her sleep Angel continued to drink. She was finishing off the rest of the case, and set down the last empty bottle. She suddenly had an urge to see him.

She walked out of Mimi's loft and upstairs. Hopefully he's still awake, she thought as she knocked on the door.

"Hey Angel." Mark said with a smile. "What are you doing here-?"

He was cut off by Angel's lips crashing against his.
