Chapter 11: We're Okay
(The Life Café)
Roger entered the café , wearing a hand bandage on his left hand. He went back into the office and saw Collins and Joanne sitting at Collins desk. He could tell Joanne was upset.
"Something wrong?" He asked.
"I was going to ask you the same thing." Joanne said, before taking a drink.
"I cant play guitar anymore…..bad hand." Roger said sadly.
"I'm sorry, man." Collins said.
"I don't want to talk about it." Roger said sitting in his chair. "Why are you so blue?" he asked Joanne.
"Maureen wants a divorce."
"No shit. You're kidding, right?"
"Nope. She found out that my affair lasted a little longer."
"How long?" Roger asked with the surprised look still on his face.
"A year."
Roger was speechless. He didn't know what to say.
"I know, I'm a bad person. I cheated on my wife with my secretary."
"Jo, yeah, what you did was bad, but I slept with my wife's sister." Roger said, lighting up cigarette . "I am just now getting over the guilt."
"The mans right, Jo." Collins chuckled. "But it doesn't make either of you a bad person."
"Are you in love with Candace?" Roger asked.
"No."
"Is the sex that good?" Collins asked.
"It is when I think about Maureen…" Joanne said with a smirk.
Roger and Collins busted out with laughter.
(The Hospital)
When Mimi and Angel got to the Hospital, Angel was still confused.
"Chica, honey, I don't know why you wont tell me who we are visiting? Are they hurt?"
"Well, not anymore." Mimi said smiling, wildly.
They got to the door of the room and Mimi stopped.
"Promise me you wont freak out?"
"Now, I'm getting scared, but I promise." Angel said, crossing her fingers.
Mimi opened the door to find Mark and Mickey making out on the bed.
"Sorry." Mark said, fixing his glasses.
"I would say get a room, but you're already in one." Mimi said.
"MIMI!" Mickey screamed running to the door.
The sisters shared a bear hug, when they pulled away Mickey saw Angel standing at the door, just looking at her.
"Mickey?" Angel asked.
"Yes, Chica, its me." Mickey said, hugging Angel.
"OH MY SWEET JESUS!" Angel said, jumping up and down.
"Have you told anyone else?" Mimi asked Mark.
"No, you are the only ones that know." The filmmaker answered.
Just then, Mark's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Pookie, I need to talk to you."
"Hey, Mo. What's wrong? You sound like you are crying."
"I told Joanne I wanted a divorce!" She yelled.
Mark pulled the phone away from his ear. Mickey, Mimi, and Angel turned their attention to Mark.
"Why did you do that! Is that what you want?"
"No, that's not what I want, Mark. I wanted so bad to tell her I wanted another try, but I couldn't!"
"Listen, I cant come see you right now, I'll come by later. Ok?"
"No! I need you now!"
"Here, hand me the phone, Mark." Angel said taking the phone. "Moo, what's wrong?………Ok, I'll be there in an half an hour."
"What's wrong with Maureen?" Mickey asked.
"She and Joanne are getting a divorce."
"No! but they were so happy."
"Until Joanne started cheating." Mark said.
"Angel, you can go ahead and go, I'll get a ride home with Mark." Mimi said.
"Ok, when do you get out?" Angel asked Mickey.
"Next week."
"We are going to throw you the party of the century." Angel said, leaving the room.
(The Loft)
"No, you aren't talking to my brother alone. You might stab him or shoot him." Michelle said.
"Murder!" Elsie screamed.
"Shut up." Scott said.
"It's important. I promise on my father's grave I wont hurt, Luke." Ben said, putting his hands where Michelle could see them.
Without saying a word, Luke stood up and walked past his older sister, going out the door.
"Luke."
"Michie, I got this." Luke said, as he shut the door behind him.
He and Ben walked up to the roof. It was a cool May evening and was the perfect time to be on the roof. It was something about the roof that separated itself from the rest of the city. You didn't hear that many car horns or people arguing. It was a great place to clear your mind or have deep conversations.
"If you're going to kill me, at least let me say a few words."
Ben grabbed Luke and instead of punching him, he hugged him.
"Are you trying to kill me with kindness?" The young boy asked.
Ben began to cry as he hugged Luke. It was strange to Luke, because he didn't think Ben could cry. It was kind of amusing for him to see a tall, fat, rough looking guy crying on his shoulder.
"I'm gay!" He said between his sobs. "I'm a homophobic homo!"
Luke wanted to laugh, but decided not to.
"It's ok, Ben. I'm just coming out of the closet myself."
"I'm so sorry for treating you like shit. You aren't a bad guy, Luke. We have a lot in common and I guess since I hate myself, I hated you too."
"I am going to take my Aunt Angels advice and forgive you. It's the right thing to do."
"Thank you." Ben said hugging him again.
"I kind of knew you were gay."
Ben quickly pulled back, this time fear was in his eyes.
"How?" he asked.
"When we were fight….you got a boner."
"Never mention that again." Ben said sternly.
"It's our little secret."
Ben began to walk around the roof, looking at the building around him.
"I feel so alone."
"You don't have to be. If you'd like, we can do the whole coming out thing together?"
"I'm not ready for a relationship."
"No, silly. Not like that. Just two gay buddies screaming 'WE'RE HERE AND WE'RE QUEER!' by next year, we'll put those cheerleaders to shame." Luke joked.
Ben laughed.
A/N: You guys know me well. Lol! Too be honest I was going to have Ben confess his love to Luke, but that wouldn't be as fun as what I have planned to do. Review please? The first 10 people who review get brand new cars! Haha not really, but I'll send you a picture of a cool car lol.
