I never thought
As we walk in the star filled night, Mikey brings me out of my thoughts. "Um Alice, are sure you want to go out with me? It's not too late turn around and go home…" I look at his face he seems really hurt…but…I don't want to go. I want to go out with him. I tighten my grip on is bicep. We both blush at this action.
"Mikey I'm not leaving you." I say resting my head on his bicep. I feel him quiver a bit. "I really want to go out with you!" He smiles so big and bright. But then he gets a blank stare. "What's wrong?" "Uh nothing…it's not important." He's lying. I can tell. But I just let it slide. "Hey! The amusement park!" I start to run towards it, but then I feel a grip on my wrist. I look back and see Mikey's face. He's begging me not to go.
"Oops almost forgot. You can't be around people. Hmmm… oh! Come on we can go to the movies. It's dark there. We can sit in the back where no one will even notice you." He nods. I know it sounds mean, but if you were a giant turtle wouldn't you want the same thing? We go the movies and Mikey picks a horror movie. Insidious.
Through the entire movie, I was latched on Mikey's arm. He wasn't the slightest bit scared…okay I'm lying. He was just as scared as I was! When the movie was over, my eyes were wide with total petrification. "That was an awesome movie!" Mikey exclaimed. We leave the movie theater, and just go for a stroll.
We went to central park; there were no people there to see Mikey. We sit under a tree, and look up at the stars. I get a chill down my spine. Then I feel a warm body on my back. I see two strong, yet gentle green arms wrap around my waste. I look behind me and see Mikey smiling shyly at me. He was blushing. Hmm… he blushes easily. Interesting. I put my head under his chin, then snuggle into his chest. His heart was beating so fast.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" we hear a voice say. We look from the beautiful star lit sky, to a man with a creepy smile on his scary, yet handsome face. Sigh. It's always the good looking grown men that turn rotten to core. "Why don't you over here sweetie. I'll show you a real good time." I quiver. He was trying to…to…- "Back off!" I hear a voice say. It was Mikey. He was protectively holding me close. I latch on to him, while hiding my face in his chest. He then tightens his grip on me…he knows I'm scared.
"Was I talking to you freak?" Mikey's silent. I look up at him and I see a shocked look on his cute, innocent face. "What did you call me?" he asks slowly. "Are you deaf? Freak?" "Call me "freak…one more time…" Mikey warns. "F-R-E-A-K." Mikey lets go of my waste. His hands go toward his belt. He pulls out a pair of…Nunchakus! When did sweet innocent Mikey become a ninja?!
"No one. Calls me. FREAK!" He charges toward the man. They both fight…but for different reasons. One wanted to rape me, and the other wanted to protect me. Uh…I think id rather be protected… that's when I see a body hit the floor…it's not Mikey. The orange clad turtle walks toward me and picks me up bridal style. He heads for the roof tops…the entire time he was silent.
