"Rog? Can we chat for a minute in the other room?" Maureen asked giving Roger a very serious look.
"Um...yeah...sure...but wait until I'm done with my story." Roger said.
Maureen rolled her eyes, and stood up grabbing Roger by the wrist and dragging him into the other room. Once they got there,Maureen started to cry.
"Maureen, are you okay?" Roger asked wiping the tears from his friend's eyes.
"Yeah, I just don't think you should tell your story." Maureen swallowed hard as she finished speaking.
"Why?"
"Because, I just don't."
"Yes, but why?"
"Because, I don't like it when people talk about her."
"April?"
Maureen nodded and began to cry harder. April was her best friend, and it hurt Maureen just as much as it had hurt Roger, to talk about her.
"Yeah. Her."
"Maureen, would you feel better, if I just didn't say the name during the story?"
"Actually yeah. I would feel alot better." Maureen said giving Roger, a slight smile and hugging him.
The two walked back into the living, and Mimi and Joanne silently inquired about what their little conversation was about. Everyone else knew better. They knew how Maureen felt attached to April, the two clicked the second they met. They were so much alike and so close.
"So uhh...Roger... why don't you start your story?" Collins asked taking a drag from his cigarette.
"Okay, so I was eighteen years old, and Mark, Maureen, and myself had just graduated highschool, and had always wanted to move to New York. To make our dreams possible, and to feel independent. So we had found out a few weeks before, while we were visiting on one of our weekend trips, that Collins, Benny, and their other roommate had needed a couple of new people to share their rent with, so we had planned to move in with them..." Roger was cut off by Collins.
"Ah man. Those were some good times we had, back in the day." Collins smiled.
"Yeah they were." Roger remembered being young, and stupid, and having one hell of a time.
"Finish your story!" Mark said impatiently.
"Okay, Okay. So the three of us moved in with the three of them, and began a legacy of partying. Collins, and Benny were awesome, but I really had my eye on the other one. The girl. I felt so drawn towards her, and I knew she was drawn to me. I wanted to act on my feeling for her, but I knew it would make things awkward. But, one day much like today, we were all sitting around bored, and Maureen decided that we should act like junior high students and play spin the bottle. But a different kind of spin the bottle. A person would go, and spin the bottle twice. The first person it landed on would be the person that you did something with, and the second person would decide what you did with the other person. So anyway it was my turn to spin the bottle, and it landed on the person who was currently my favorite roommate first, and then it landed on Maureen. Maureen gave me a devious look, and then told me that she wanted me and my favorite roommate were to go into one of the bedrooms and have sex. And we did. And that friends is how I lost my virginity."
"You have a fun story Roger." Mimi smiled.
"I do." Roger looked down sadly.
Mimi leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
"I love you." She whispered in his ear.
A/N- Well? Thoughts... The next chapter is none other than Collins.
