In a room of a community center sat eight figures in a circle. It was a support meeting, of those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. They all sat in their circle, getting ready to start the meeting. Among those people, was Noah and Cody. Noah met Cody in the streets after getting beaten up and getting his coat stolen. The two clicked right away and Noah agreed to go with Cody to this support meeting.

"Ezekiel."

"Geoff."

"Heather."

"Katie."

"Sadie."

"Hi, I'm Cody."

"Dasari. Noah."

"I'm Tyler. Let's begin."

The meeting begun, as the group began to say a small chant they always say before they start their meeting. But, they were suddenly interrupted by someone coming in, very awkwardly.

"Sorry...Excuse me...Oops!"

Noah and Cody looked to see it was Harold, trying not to cause a big commotion and holding his video camera. Tyler looked at Harold with a questioning look.

"And you are?" Tyler asked.

Harold stopped in his tracks and nervously laughed, pushing back his glasses.

"Oh, I'm not...I'm just here to...I don't have-! I'm here with..."

Finally giving up, Harold just stopped his embarrassing stuttering. "Um, Harold! Harold! I'm Harold! ...Well, this is quite an operation!"

Tyler just nodded his head and said, "Sit down, Harold. We'll continue the affirmation."

Harold sat near Noah and Cody, giving them the thumbs-up. Cody gave one back and Noah just rolled his eyes. The group began their chant again.

"Forget, regret. Or life is yours to miss."

Geoff suddenly stopped chanting. He sighed and spoke out. "Excuse me, Tyler. I'm having a problem with this-this credo. My T-Cells are low. I regret that news, okay?"

Tyler nodded. "Alright. But, Geoff. How do you feel today?"

Geoff lift a brow. "What do you mean?"

"How do you feel today?" Tyler asked again.

Geoff shrugged and said "Okay."

"Is that all?" Tyler asked.

"Best I've felt all year." Geoff added.

"Than, why choose fear?" Tyler asked.

A bit shocked by the question, Geoff answered it with the only knowledge he had.

"I'm a New Yorker. Fear's my life."

The others nodded their heads, agreeing to that. Geoff sighed and brushed back his hair, looking a bit stressed.

"Look, I find some of what you teach suspect because I'm used to relying on intellect. But, I try to open up to what I don't know. ...Because reasons says I should have died, three years ago..."

Katie and Sadie comforted Geoff. Noah looked over at Cody and had a small frown on his face. He moved his hand to hold Cody's. Cody looked at Noah and lightly smiled at him. He squeezed Noah's hand.

"No other road. No other way. No day but today..."
