Chapter 3:

There I was in Paris, sitting and having make-up thrown all over me.

"My darling, you need to get away from Derrick, he's simply tearing you apart." Mama Jace said as she spread blush across my face.

I didn't say a word, I didn't want to. I know my Chaperone, Raphael, could see how bothered I was. But he just sat there…thinking.

"Derrick is getting better." I finally answered.

"If only that was true…" She responded before putting a light lip-gloss over my lips.

I wanted to cry, just break down and leave. But this money was my source of income and I was thinking about buying each of the guys something as a thank you to them. Even though this is my second day of knowing them, they still helped me by giving me a place to stay. They all had they're own effect on me. Mikey can help me smile, Leo always listens, Donnie make's sure all my injuries are ok and he also does daily check-ups for everyone, and Raphael…well, I haven't figured him out yet. I wasn't even close to seeing behind his high wall he had built up around him. He was the hardest out of all of them to read.

"Can we just get this done?" My voice had worry in it and Mama Jace could tell.

Her tired-some smile seemed to find it's way across her face, as she tucked a piece of her white hair behind her ear. "He won't come." She then helped me up and gave me a light hug.

"Mama Jace…I can't stand. Doctor's orders…" I said before she could release the hug.

"Well, what are we to do? They wanted you to stand on the balcony…" She let out a sigh of disappointment.

I smiled and pulled her closer to me so I could whisper in her ear. What I had told her was going to be a funny scene. Mama Jace grabbed all her materials and utensils and made her way over to Raphael. I just sat watching his reaction to twenty people trying to do his hair and make-up.

"Get da hell away from me!" He screamed pushing everyone away. He then approached me. He was mad, I was sure of that. "Whaddya think your doin'?"

"I think my modeling partner better get ready." I laughed pointing as I could see Jeffery was ready to take some shots.

"There is NO way in hell I'm goin' ta model." He snoodly tried to wipe off his make-up but nobody told him he needed water to do that.

"Yes you are! This pretty girl can't stand…now what your gonna do is let her lean against you on the balcony." Mama Jace firmly poked her finger at him.

Raphael leaned down getting to her level. "Bite…me."

Mama Jace never backed down, and she wasn't about to. "Moochie!" She yelled.

I looked behind Raphael and saw her little brown colored Pomerainean speeding up behind him. I let out a faint laugh, which caused him to give me the look he gives Mikey. I ignored it, and continued to giggle. Next thing you know Raphael jumped. Moochie kept biting at his heels, and Raphael didn't like it.

"Knock it of ya rat!" He growled.

He went to pick up the pooch, but Moochie kept snapping at him. I thought it was funny.

"Erin, ya wanna get ya friend's rat!" His Amber eyes started to burn with fire.

I shifted uncomfortably and just looked up at Mama Jace begging her to stop.

"I will not call him off, until you agree to model with this pretty young lady."

"Fine! I'll fuckin' do it…but ya owe me lata." Raphael picked me up disgusted and walked over in front of all the camera's and people.

Jeffrey smiled at us adjusting his tie. "Alright! What's the young gentlemen's name?"

"What's it to ya?" Raphael mumbled under his breath.

I decided I'd answer all the questions and he'd just do what was told. "Raphael." I observed that after saying his name my stomach felt weird. Like it was being tied up in knots of some sort.

"Well Raphael.." Jeffery said his name with disgust. I heard Raphael growl and could feel his chest rumble. I looked up at him and laughed. "Your going to have your back leaned up against the balcony railing, and Erin is going to lean on you. Now emotions wise, I need you both to act like your going to kiss each other. I wanna see the fire! The passion! The heat!"

Raphael wasn't nearly calmed down. He was still angry, and I don't know how. But I could feel it. He glared as Jeffery before positioning both of us. "Oh your gonna see da fire!"

I gently smacked him in the chest, catching his attention. "Raphael.." I whispered his name trying to put an angry pitch behind it. He just rolled his eyes and was trying to give Jeffery what he wanted.

I leaned against Raphael, with my hands on his chest I looked up at him pleadingly, he had one arm around my waist and the other lay out across the railing. His expression wasn't much…he just looked away with his usual attitude. But when I peeked out of the corner of my eye, Jeffery loved it…so I played along. Flashes surrounded us and Jeffery's screams and comments.

"Change!" Jeffery screamed.

I knew what that meant so I switched positions. I had my back to his chest and held onto the railing for support. He grabbed my hips and pulled me closer to him and he dug his face into my neck. I felt so…weak. It felt how I did when we were back in the car. But I just brushed it off. It probably was just the energy and chemistry we were having in the photo shoot. We took about five more before taking a break.

"Dat was uncomfortable…" Raphael helped me over to the refreshments table.

I just laughed and reached for a bottle of spring water when my wrist was grabbed.

"Thought you could get away from me babe?"

That voice. I knew it. I was so scared. My eyes grew bigger, and I froze up.

"Derrick.." I whispered before he grabbed me and pulled me closer. I could smell every ounce of alcohol on his breath. It made me cringe. I wanted to puke.

"Aye…why don' ya let her go an' be on your way…" Raphael hissed pushing him away from me.

He stumbled back due to the increased alcohol in his system. "Who the fuck are you?" He asked slurring his words while he poked his finger into Raphael's chest. "And what the fuck are you gonna do…about it?"

Those were the words he'd been waiting to hear. He rolled up his sleeves with a cocky grin and winked at me before knocking Derrick in the jaw. I gasped as he went crashing into the ground.

The medics on scene determined that his jaw was broke. Everyone cheered silently and some even approached Raphael. Even Mama Jace thanked him. He stood there just glaring at Derrick. No words, no thoughts, just glares. He shook the blood off his knuckles and turned away. He grabbed me by the hips and let out a faint laugh. Whatever he was up to, it was defiantly about to raise someone's blood pressure.

"Derrick!" He called out to he broken drunk laid on the stretcher.

His head poked up to see Raphael laying his lips on mine. I was so done with life. He didn't hold back at all, and I could tell. His hot rough lips dominated my small soft ones. He put so much fire and passion in it, it felt like he meant it. Like he really loved me. My body became vulnerable. I fell into him and melted, and I think he sensed that because he pushed me against him closer, not once breaking the kiss. Jeffery is what made Raphael quit…he got a picture. Raphael broke the kiss and growled. I don't know what came over me, but his growl was the sexiest thing I ever heard. NO one could quite make that sound like he did. I was trying to catch my breath and so was he…but he was pissed before he could catch it. He walked off set and got into the limo. I turned back to Jeffrey with flushed cheeks.

"He's…done…" I managed to get out in between breath's, I smiled, and Mama Jace helped me back to the car.

"He's a keeper baby." She smiled before helping me down in and closing the door behind.

I looked over at Raphael. There was no expression on his face. I couldn't read him. I wanted to say something…but I didn't know what to say. I just looked in the other direction all the way to the airport, and all the way home.

"You guys are back!?" Donnie was surprised. He pushed his goggles up to his forehead. "My calculations were that you guys wouldn't be home until tomorrow night."

Raphael sat me on the couch, turned off the watch revealing his muscular turtle form, and stormed off into the kitchen for a soda.

I just blew a piece of hair out of my face. "As you can see our trip ended early."

He gulped it down and threw the can behind him letting it fall into the trash. "Let me tell ya Donnie, If I eva see Derrick…and I don' care where it is or what time. I'm gonna fuck him up. Period."

Raphael grinded his teeth and clenched his fists as he paced back and forth.

"Woah! Raphael who's Derrick!" Donnie began backing up. I guess he knew what was gonna happen next, cause I sure as hell didn't.

Raphael blasted the cold hard stone wall. I was amazed. That would have hurt any normal person…but then again they weren't actually normal or people. A nice dent revealed where his anger once was. I just looked over at Donatello. He didn't seem fazed at all. In the middle of it all Michelangelo and Leonardo finally decided to join us.

"Great, your back and your already punching holes." Mikey joked earning him a scowl.

"What's wrong with you hothead…" Leo stood confident with his arms crossed over his plastron.

"I'll tell ya what's wrong!" He started pounding his knuckles together. Then he pointed at me. "'Er husband showed up and things got a little bloody!"

All of the other three looked at me with questions and confused looks. I just swallowed the lump in my throat that was forming.

Leo shook his head. "Care to explain Erin?"

"Oh no need!" Raphael screamed. "She'll probably lie to ya! I had to corner 'er just for 'er to tell me." His cold glare fell upon me as I just slumped down into the couch. "I'll tell ya. The night she showed up at April's with all dat blood was the night she stabbed 'er husband."

"Stabbed her husband!? Isn't that a crime dudes?"

"I'm pretty sure that'd be assault Mikey." Donatello responded. "But continue Raphael."

"Well anyway…he wasn' just 'er husband…he was 'er abusive husband. So it wasn't really an assault…it was defense. But he showed up today an'…an' he…GRABBED 'ER! BY DA WRIST!"

I could see his anger growing stronger and brighter. I quickly interrupted in hopes of calming him down. "It didn't really hurt me."

"DAT'S NOT DA POINT! HE GRABBED YOU! LORD KNOWS WHAT HE DID THE NIGHT YOU FINALLY GOT AWAY! IF I EVA CATCH HIM OUT DARE SOMEWHERE I SWEAR I'M GONNA KNOCK HIS TEETH SO FAR DOWN HIS THROAT…"

"Raphael! Do not let your anger control you. My son's gather." Master Splinter commanded. "Tell me the source of your anger…"

"I think I'll tell the story, hot head here needs to calm down." Leonardo looked at his red masked brother out of the corner of his head. "The night Erin came to April's bloody was because she stabbed her abusive husband in the leg and ran. Well, he showed up today at her shooting and grabbed her wrists from what Raphael says he had a firm grip on her."

Master Splinter stroked his chin, then looked towards me. "Erin is this true?"

I sheepishly nodded my head.

"My child, did you not trust us with your secret?"

"It wasn't that I didn't trust you…it was that…I didn't want anyone to see how I lived my life or how helpless I was…" The water works came tumbling down and the first to come and scoop me up in they're arms was Raphael. I was surprised, but at the moment didn't care. I buried my face into his plastron.

His brothers just looked at me. At him. Then back at they're father. Raphael didn't care what they were thinking, the only thing he was worried about…was me. I thought in that moment that I really had not just one…but multiple people who actually cared for me.

I wasn't lonely anymore.
