| Tears streamed down April's cheeks as she walked back in to the loft. She was grateful it was empty when she got there. She didn't want anyone to see what she was about to do. She ripped a small piece of paper off the corner of a notebook and scribbled down a simple message, three simple word: We have AIDS. Wiping her eyes she went into the bathroom and grabbed Roger's razor, stepping into the bath tub. She couldn't live with this. She'd done this to him. If she hadn't gotten him addicted to heroin, none of this would be happening. With the note still clutched in her hand she laid back and bit back a sob before she slit one wrist and then the other, watching the blood drain quickly from her small body. | |

| Roger sighed as he opened the door and took off his jacket. He looked around as the apartment was quiet before he spotted April's jacket on the couch. "April are you here he called softly as he walked around the apartment, he noticed the bathroom door was open slightly and he made his way over to the door. He slowly pshed the door open before he started crying at the site he saw. | |

| April had been gone for quite some time by the time Roger had gotten back to the loft. She lay lifeless in the bathtub, the note still clutched in her lifeless hand. | |

| Mark's eyes widened when he came to the bathroom door. "Roger...." he said, stepping inside. "Is she....is she gone?" | |

| Mark looked down at the note and read it. "We need to call an ambulance to get her out of here and you need to get tested," Mark said. | |

| Mark called the ambulance and sighed when they later arrived and he had to pull his best friend away from the lifeless body of the only woman Mark had ever seen him fall in love with. | |

| Mark gently rubbed Roger's back. "I'm so sorry....." Mark said softly. He wasn't going to say it was okay, because it wasn't. | |

| Mark carefully moved the jacket so Roger could no longer see it when Collins came home. He sat down next to Roger without a word and rubbed his back. He wasn't going to ask what was wrong, Roger would tell him when he wanted to. | |
