I looked at the ceiling, thinking. "Sure. I'll go. Who else is going?" I asked, standing and getting my knee length black jacket. I put my camera back in my bag and put it around my shoulder.

"Well, I know that Angel and I always go, Collins just started coming, and I don't know who else is coming." I answered. "Sorry if that didn't make much sense. I just have a few things on my mind." I added.

"Right..." I thought for a minute. "Come with me. Mark, I'll be back later. Love you!" I said and pulled Jasmine by the arm out the door. "Now, what's on your mind that's bugging you so much?" I asked as curiosity got the better of me.

"I, uh.....well, you see......" I started to say, thinking of the right way to say it. "She's in love with a guy who goes with dudes. Get it?" Collins said, covering for me, and Angel pulled me by the arm. "Come on sugar. We're gonna be late." She said.

"Oh.."I mummbled and followed them down and to the gathering. I sat next to Jasmine and squeezed her hand. She smiled a little at me and we started.

After the meeting, we headed to the subway. "So, where're you from?" I asked, looking at Melina as Collins and Angel walked ahead of us.

I looked at Jasmine. "Oh, uhmm...I used to live in New Jersey. But I got sick of living with my parents. Just ask Mark, he knows how they can be." I joked and walked down the steps to the subway. "So, I called Mark and he let me move in with him. Of course, warning me ahead of time that the apartment sucks first. But...it's better than where I was." I explained and smiled at them.

"I'm from Chicago. I moved here when I was five, and my parents died when I was seven. I met Angel on the streets and lived with her for a while...before that thing happened....and then I moved in with my friend Mimi. I'm right below your apartment." I said, looking at the ground.

"Wait, What thing?" I questioned, stopping for a second and looking at Collins for a second before turning my gaze back to Jasmine.

I took a deep breath. "I..I got raped a year ago and got HIV...AIDS...whatever you want to call it. Mimi said I shouldn't be living on the streets, so she took me in. She's got AIDS too, so we help each other get through it." I answered, my eyes tearing up.

"Oh....I'm so sorry." I said, hugging her tightly. Angel put a hand on my arm. "Come on girls. We'vee gotta get on the train now." She said and we followed her in.

"It's okay." I said, wiping my eyes and smiling at Melina as we followed Angel.

We got back to the apartment building and I went into my new one, Jasmine right behind me. When I walked in, I saw Roger sitting on the couch with a girl laughing at his side. "Oh, hello." I said and they looked up.

"Hi Mimi." I said, waving. She waved back and I walked over and sat on the couch. "Roger, can I cut your hair?" I asked, poking it.

"No!" he said, swatting away her hand. "Why do you wanna cut my hair?" He questioned, looking at her funny, making me laugh. "Yeah, cause it's soo sexy." I said, sarcastically and he glared in my direction. "I'm gonna tell you're brother yu're being mean to his best friend." He whinned jokingly. I stuck my tounge out at him and sat in the recliner.
