Chapter Three: Can't Live Without You

He watched them for what felt like hours. Finally April hopped off the swing and waved Casey goodbye. He watched as April headed off toward the Lair. He knew he had to beat her back, or she'd figure something was up.


Donatello rushed to his lab, not wanting to be caught by his brothers. He swung open the door and was shocked by who he saw standing there. April was standing in his labratory waiting for him, with her arms crossed. How did she make it back before him?

"Where were you?" April asked him, her voice dripping with anger.

"Um.." Don's cheeks went bright red.

"You were stalking me weren't you?!"

"N-no." Donnie stuttered.

"I came to apologize but you were nowhere to be found! Your brothers said you'd be in your lab, but no! You were following me and Casey! Weren't you?! WEREN'T YOU?!" April's voice got louder and louder.

"Yes. I was. But only to-" Don was abruptly cut off.

"-I can't believe you! I never want to talk to you again!" she growled and stomped off, slamming the door behind her.

"April.. Please..." he opened the door again, but she was already gone. He looked down at his feet, a tear falling down his face. "I can't live without you."
