Angels P.O.V:

I couldn't wait till the end of the day. It was like time slowed down just to annoy me. When the bell finally rang I jumped out of my seat. Quickly, I grabbed my stuff and ran out the door.

I was going to see Collins again!! And I needed to see Mimi, we needed to have a sleepover. We haven't had one in what felt like years. Wow, I remember thinking we we're never going to get separated but that's exactly what happened. Well at least we're reunited and she had a lot to deal with anyway. It looks like she was doing better then the last time I saw her and that was all I could hope for. Gripping my bag, I opened the door to go outside and scanned the area, looking for familiar faces. Friends of Collins and Mimi or Mimi or Collins. My eyes met deep brown ones, which didn't fail to send shivers down my back. Smiling wide, I walked towards him, gabbing his smooth hand and placing it in mine. Glancing around, I realized I was being filmed. I pulled Collins closer to me and flirtatiously winked at the camera which earned a chuckle from group.

"Wow, I thought Collins would never get a boyfriend" a girl with dark wavy brown hair said as she held the waist of the girl that helped me this morning. I think she told me her name was Joanne after she showed me to class.

I guess the boy who's hand was in mine, shot a glare at them at the word boyfriends. I furrowed my brows together, was I being to pushy. "Maureen, they're not official yet" Joanne said. Oh, so he's going to ask me out I thought. I smiled knowingly and squeezed his hand. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught site of Mimi walking down the street with Roger. She looked happy, happier now then she did before. She deserved it more than anyone else I know. Roger was one lucky guy for getting her. They clearly both liked each other and that was enough to get my blessing. I smiled at her, glad that the day picked up for her.

"You ready to go?" Collins said, looking at me.

"Where are you going?" Mimi asked smiling at me.

"A life support meeting, Anyone who wants to can come along." I said while glancing around the group for any takers. "It's a group for people coping with life, You don't have to stay too long."

"Pookie and I are doing a couples dance class together, so we can't." Maureen said.

"We are?" Joanne replied but before anyone could respond, mark interrupted.

"I have a film class till 4:00, but after, sure" I

Smiled at him, thankful for someone else coming. I liked getting people together, bonding and life support was important to me so that made it even more meaningful.

"Roger, Mimi, what about you guys?" Collins asked. Mimi opened her mouth but Roger stopped her.

"I'm not much company you'll find" he said. Collins frowned and looked like was going to add something but I decided to add some input before a fight broke out.

Putting my hand on his chest, I spoke "He'll catch up later, he's just go other things on his mind." I smiled up at him and he seemed to lose focus for a second. I bite my lip as I stared at him. I could practically hear my heart betting out of my chest. "Come on, lets go" I pulled him away down to the sidewalk, making our way to the meeting.

Walking into the life support meeting with Collins hand in mine, gave me a warm feeling tumble through my stomach. Turning to look at him, I couldn't help but question what we were. We met today after all but ever since seeing him, my life felt brighter, better, like their was holes in my life before and he made it whole agin. He just made everything better. Sighing, I took a seat with Collins sitting next to me. He gave me a wide smile and in reply I squeezed his hand.

"Good afternoon everyone, let's start by going around the room and saying your name" Paul the life support leader you could say said as he pointed at the person next to him, as if he was queuing him to talk.

"I'm Steve"

"Hey, I'm Gordon"

"Ali" a shy looking girl said. She looked like she was trying to make herself disappear. She was new here, I'll make sure to say hi to her later.

"I'm Pam"

"Sue"

"Hi, I'm Angel" I said with a wide smile. Most people were here in the last meetings. Some people from the last meetings weren't here, but we never spoke of that.

"Tom. Collins." He glanced at me and we stared at each other. He blushed and I felt like squealing.

"I'm Paul. Let's begin-"

A loud noise came from behind me "Sorry..." I heard a voice say . I turned around to see an awkward mark standing by the door.

A box was tipped over with items pouring out of it. He looked like a child caught doing something you just told him not to do. Collins chuckled behind me. "Excuse me...oops" mark said as I smiled at him.

"You are?" Paul asked.

"Oh-I'm not" he said staring at me. "I'm just here to-I don't have to" he stumbled as he pointed at himself. "I'm here with—umm—Mark...Mark—I'm Mark" he whispered. Silently he sat next to us as Collins snickered at his exspression.

"Okay, let's begin. Does anyone have something they want to share or- you can go" he said to guy with his hand raised. Gordon was his name. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught site of mark raising his camera. I giggled quietly to myself before I turned my attention back to Gordon.

"My T cells are low" he said with a frown.

"How do you feel today?" Paul said, while leaning on his desk.

"What do you mean?"

"How do you feel today?"

"Okay?" He said with his eyebrows closed together.

"Is that all?"

"Good I guess, honestly the best I've felt in a long time." He stayed with a weak smile, almost like he didn't want to admit it.

"Then why are you scared, why worry?" Paul asked.

"I don't know, because I'm a New Yorker." He said causing a couple of people to laugh. Myself included. I pursed my lips as I thought, one day that will be me. One day, I'll be the one dying. One day soon I was going to have to leave and as much as I was avoiding talking about it, thinking about it, I was going to die soon because reason says, I should have died... 3 years ago.

AN:
