Chapter 5: The Pain Will Ease If I Can Learn

*Roger's House*

"Man I still don't understand why Angel was the only one that Mimi allowed to come to her house. It's not fair I tell you." Maureen whined and complained.

"Honey Bear, Mimi wanted time along with Angel so that they could catch up and all." Joanne explained in an irritated voice for Maureen has been whining and complaining about this for the past two hours.

"But Pookey…." Maureen whined.

"Oh my God! Maureen will you shut up and give it up already!" Mark snapped with annoyance.

"Marky…"

"Don't Marky me Maureen. God you're getting to become even more annoying then usual. Enough is enough already!" Mark said giving Maureen a stern look.

"Bring, Ring" rang the telephone.

"I'll get that." Roger said as he got up off of his recliner that he was sitting on and walked over to the phone. "Hello? Davis residence." Roger greeted.

"Hey Rog it's me Angel. Um… is Collins there?" Angel asked on the other line.

"Yeah he is Ang. Hold on." Roger placed his hand over the phone and called over to Collins, "Hey Collins, its Angel. She wants to talk to you." Roger handed the phone to Collins then sat back down in his recliner.

"Hey babe what's up?" Collins asked wondering why Angel would be calling him when she's suppose to be spending time with Mimi.

"Um… do you think you could come down here and help me get Mimi into Roger's house? She and her bitch of a mother had a huge fight and Mimi can't stop crying. She begged me to bring her here with all of you. She also needs a place to stay babe. She packed three bags. Two of her personal items and the third for school and…"

"Ang. I'm on my way." Collins interrupted.

"Thanks honey." With that Angel and Collins hung up.

~15 minutes later~

"You feeling better chica?" Angel asked as Mimi's eyes began to open.

"Yes. I just really hate her." Mimi said with tears threatening to fall once again.

"What happened?" Joanne inquired as she sat right beside Mimi on Roger's couch.

"My mother's just being her usual self. So I packed up some of my stuff and left." Mimi explained as she started to sit up.

"You moved out?" Mark asked in shock.

"Yeah. My mother knew about April's death and didn't even tell me. All she cares about is her precious Allison." Mimi said through clenched teeth.

"So where are you gonna stay?" Maureen asked.

"I don't know yet. I mean papa will help me financially when I find a place and…"

"NO!" Roger yelled scaring everyone in the room including himself. After clearing his throat he added, "Why don't you just stay here? I mean, I know for certain that my mom wouldn't mind and you can stay in our spare bedroom."

"Really Roger?" Mimi asked in shock.

"Yeah man are you sure that your ma won't mind?" Collins asked still surprised that Roger would even suggest Mimi moving in and living with him and his mom.

"Yeah I mean she didn't mind when April lived here."

"April lived here?" Mimi asked in shock.

"Yeah." Roger answered as he began to remember what his life was like living with April.

"Well are you sure that you mom won't mind?" Mark asked still uncertain and breaking Roger out of his trance.

"Yes I'm sure." Roger confirmed.
