Chapter 11: I Should Tell You
*The Hospital*
"Angel, Joanne who are they? Where's Roberto? What's going on?" Mimi asked now starting to panic.
"Mimi, honey calm down." Joanne said with worry.
"Angel where's April?" Mimi asked now even more hyped up. "I mean if you're here so is she." Mimi asked now beginning to cry.
"Oh chica…" Angel said with sadness.
"No… NO!" Mimi sobbed now figuring out the truth.
*Waiting Room*
"How's Roger doing?" Joanne asked as she came out.
"He keeps singing to himself." Collins replied with worry.
"One song
Glory
One song
Before I go
Glory
One song to leave behind
Find one song
One last refrain
Glory
From the pretty boy front man
Who wasted opportunity
One song
He had the world at his feet
Glory
In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl
Find glory
Beyond the cheap colored lights
One song
Before the sun sets
Glory - on another empty life
Time flies - time dies
Glory - One blaze of glory
One blaze of glory - glory
Find
Glory
In a song that rings true
Truth like a blazing fire
An eternal flame
Find
One song
A song about love
Glory
From the soul of a young man
A young man
Find
The one song
Before the virus takes hold
Glory
Like a sunset
One song
To redeem this empty life
Time flies
And then - no need to endure anymore
Time dies" Roger sang, heart breaking from the fact that Mimi doesn't remember him or anyone else for that matter.
"Rog you ok?" Mark asked when he heard Roger begin to cry.
"No I'm not. I mean first April now Mimi. I don't know how much more of this I can take." Roger said in the verge of tears.
"You really care about Mimi don't you?" Mark asked with worry for his friend.
"No man. I think I love her." Roger said. Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at him.
*Angel and Collins's Apartment*
"Mi chica…Donde esta el?" (My friend… where is he?) Mimi whined. It had been only an hour since she got her memory back and she wanted to tell Roger.
"El estara aqui chica no te preocupes." (He'll be here girl don't worry.) Angel laughed. Just then the doorbell rang. "That must be him." Angel said with humor in her voice.
"Hey man." Collins said as he answered the door.
"Hey Thomas. So why are we here?" Roger asked his voice dead inside. The reason it has been 1 month since Mimi lost her memory. Roger made it clear that he didn't want to see her.
"Roger thank god you're here. Mimi wants to talk to you." Angel said with a big smirk on her face.
With that Mimi came down the stairs in a sports bra and black long pants. "Mimi?" Roger chocked out.
"MIMI
What's the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It says, "Time for danger"
It says "I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger"
I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the games
Get up - life's too quick
I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance in the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in too
If you get in with me
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play?
Let's run away
We won't be back before it's Christmas day
Take me out tonight (meow)
When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That you're on line with the feline of Avenue B
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight
In the evening I've got to roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels too damn much like home
When the Spanish babies cry
So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
And all the scars from the
Nevers and maybes die
Let's go out tonight
Have to go out tonight
You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat?
Just take me out tonight
(MIMI makes her way to ROGER's side and while everyone moves out of the way she finishes the song.)
Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight – tonight
