Chapter 2: New Friendships

How did I end up here? All alone...

I walked along the streets of New York by myself. I was 13 years old and my mother had died four days ago. My father died in prison 5 years ago. I had no one now and I wasn't about to be placed in a foster home, no way was I gonna let that happen. So I ran. And I kept on running until I couldn't run anymore. I found myself near a group of 16 year olds and they asked me if I wanted a drink. I was so thirsty so I said sure and that was the first time I ever tried whiskey. I coughed, the taste was bitter in my mouth. One of the girls chuckled a little and handed me something. A joint. I was curious so I took it from her and tried it. The smoke running down my throat made me cough even worse but after a few more inhales I got used to it and began to relax. And then I passed out.

Hours later I woke up in a room with a blanket on me. There was a girl smiling at me.

"Well look who's awake. Hi, I'm Jennifer, but you can call me Jenny.", the girl said.

"Hi, I'm Maddie…"

I gasped and sat up quickly. I groaned and placed a hand on my head. I was really dizzy. I then realized I was sitting on a couch and I had a blanket covering myself.

Where am I?

I then heard a voice.

"Well look who's awake..."

I turned to the sound. My eyes widened and I froze.

There was a giant turtle in a blue mask smiling at me. I screamed.

"No wait, I'm not gonna hurt you!", The blue masked turtle said.

I stopped screaming and just stared. I fell back onto the couch.

"I think the alcohol and drugs have finally caught up with me...", I said loud enough for the turtle to walk closer to me.

He put out his hand and I screamed again. I couldn't help it, it was a natural response. I then heard the sound of feet running in the direction of the room we were in. I saw three other turtles in masks run over to us. I screamed even louder.

"Geez, will you please quit your screaming!", said the turtle wearing a red mask in a bitter tone.

"Raph! She's just scared.", said the turtle in an orange mask.

"Just give her a minute to process all of this and then we can check on how she's doing.", said the turtle in a purple mask.

I couldn't speak and I was panting hard from all the screaming. I finally managed to say something.

"Who are you guys?", I asked and then coughed.

"Don't try to speak so much, you might hurt yourself. I'm Leonardo, but you can call me Leo and over there are my brothers Donnie, Mikey, and Raph.", said Leo as he pointed to each of his brothers as he said their names.

"Hello.", Donnie said.

"What's up dude?", Mikey said ecstatically.

Raph just looked at me and crossed his arms.

I was quiet for a while but then I realized they were all staring at me.

"Oh, um I'm Maddie.", I said with my sore voice.

Leo handed me water. I took it cautiously and drank it all in one gulp. I was really thirsty.

"Thanks...", I said.

"No problem.", Leo smiled.

There was an awkward silence. I still felt dizzy, I needed to smoke.

I reached for my pocket and pulled out a joint and lighter. I lit it and put it in my mouth only to have it taken and thrown to the ground by Leo.

"Dude! What'd you do that for?!", I screamed.

"You shouldn't be doing drugs, they're not good for you.", Leo protested.

"I know that! But they're the only things that keep me from going insane…", I said in a sadder tone then I imagined.

I decided to have a drink to stop the pain. I reached into my other pocket and pulled out my whiskey, taking a big gulp and drinking the rest before anyone could take the bottle from me.

"You know you shouldn't drink either.", Mikey said.

"You can't tell me how to live my life, you're not my parents.", I said a little heart broken.

"Speaking of that, where are your parents?", Leo asked.

I sighed.

"Well my mom died from drinking 2 years ago and my father committed suicide in prison thanks for asking.", I said a bitter tone.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-", Leo began.

"No it's fine, they sucked anyway.", I said looking down.

I looked back up and Mikey had tears in his eyes. Leo and Donnie smiled at me weakly. Raph just stared at me. Finally Leo broke the silence.

"So how about you tell us how you got involved with the Purple Dragons?", Leo.

I shrugged but explained to them what had happened.

-10 minutes later-

"…Then he grabbed my wrist making me drop my knife and- wait where's my knife?!", I asked in a panic.

"Well when the dragons made a run for it they sort of took your knife with them…", Leo said in a somewhat guilty voice.

I froze and it felt like everything slowed down. I looked in the opposite direction while hugging my knees and did what I promised myself I would never do. I cried.

The guys had no clue what to do. Finally someone sat next to me and put their hand on my shoulder. It was Raph.

I turned and looked at him with tears in my eyes. He smiled slightly. I had no clue what to do, but some instinct told me to act. I pulled Raph into a hug, placing my head on his chest and began to sob. I realized what I was doing and quickly pulled away.

"Um, sorry.", I said as I lifted my arm to wipe my tears away, but someone grabbed my arm.

Raph. He put his other hand on my cheek and wiped away my tears with his thumb. I couldn't help but smile. He smiled back and we stared at each other for a while until someone ruined the moment.

"Awwwwwww!", Mikey squealed like a fangirl.

Raph dropped his hand. We both started blushing and stared at Mikey.

"MIKEY!", Raph pounced on his little brother.

I giggled. Leo and Donnie were both grinning at me.

"What?", I asked.

"Oh nothing…", Leo smirked and then went to try and pry Raph off of Mikey.

"Okay…", I said as I tried to get up but as soon as I put weight on my ankle I winced in pain and sat back down.

Donnie started examining my injury.

"Yup, it's definitely broken. You shouldn't walk on too much for at least a week or two.", Donnie said.

"How am I supposed to survive on the streets of New York if I can't walk?!", I screamed loud enough to get the others attention.

"Well don't you have a place to stay?", Mikey asked.

"Both my parents are dead, I'm homeless dude.", I replied somewhat irritated.

I placed my head in my hands and sighed.

I then noticed Raph pull Leo into the other room. They came back out about two minutes later and began talking to Mikey and Donnie. I sat with a puzzled look on my face. They then walked over to me, all four smiling.

"Guys you're kinda freaking me out, what's going on?", I asked.

"Well, we were talking and we think you should stay with us for a while.", Leo smiled.

I just looked at them in shock and Mikey hugged me quickly.

"R-really? I don't want to be any trouble…", I said trying not to cry.

"Yeah it's totally fine, we'll just talk to Master Splinter about it.", Leo said.

"So what do you say dudette?", Mikey asked with a smile on his face.

"Well um, okay.", I said smiling.

"Awesome!", They all shouted.

"Why did you ask me to stay anyway?", I asked.

"It was all Raph's idea.", Donnie said making Raph's face turn a slight shade of red.

"Really?", I said kind of shocked.

Leo, Donnie, and Mikey shook their heads.

I smiled. I got up and limped over to Raph and hugged him.

"Thank you.", I said as I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

I looked up to see his face turn just as red as his mask. I continued to hug him, he looked sort of frozen so I took his arms and placed them around me. He snapped out of his daze and hugged me back.

"You're welcome.", He said smiling a little.

I let go and smiled at him again. Then I turned to the others who were smiling. I just rolled my eyes. Then I went over to Mikey and slapped him in the back of the head.

"What was that for dude?", Mikey said rubbing his head.

"THAT was for before.", I chuckled.

So here you have it, so much fluff! Anyway hoped you like it, review!
