Mikey's P.O.V
I was in my room listening to my brothers fight. Trying to block out the noise.I started thinking about how it used be. How we never fought and were there for each other. I could die right now and they would not notice until days later. When they did notice they would start fighting blaming each other even if they were not at fault or all of them were. I start crying. I try to muffle it even though they couldn't hear me because they are fighting. Not even Donnie's there for me any more. I need my family back. I think for hours about what to do. The fighting is still going on. I known when I go down stairs the living room will be destroyed. I write my speech and slowly make my way down stairs. I see Raph about to punch Leo. I leap in front of Leo and take the punch. That seemed to snap them out of it. So I stand up and start talking without a warning they are quite threw out the speech. My face is still throbbing.
I remember. I remember when we were still in the sewers at a very young age. When Raph and Leo never fought and Donnie sleeped. I remember when we would sit at the table and thank the lord for the little food we had. We would run and play. Tripping over our own feet learning how to walk.
I remember ever scar that litters our skin. Every mark and every chip. I remember the fight we fought and the friends we lost. I remember Raph chiping his shell. It was the first time I remember him crying. I remember when I took my jokes too far but, they would get me back.
I remember the little bumps all along our walls and the paint stains from little turtle tots. I remember the loving eyes of my master and his wise words. I remember when I got told off but, his words never hurt.
I remember feeling worthless and like I don't belong. I remember feeling happy. I remember putting smiles on my brothers faces and trying to make them happy. Losing my self in the process.
I remember picking up my pencil for the first time. Letting my feelings take the lead. I remember Raph's faces as he punched his punching bad, Leo's concentration mastering his Katas, and Donnie's face brightening when he was finally done with a project.
I remember when when we got in fights and when we took the fights too far. I remember the look of regret and sorrow when we actually hurt one another but mostly I remember the love we shared and the times when we were together. I want my family back.
I finish and they hug me apologizing. That night we create more memories to add to the list. I smile again knowing I have my family back. I remember. I have memories.
