Donnie's POV

At first, I was a little confused about the question, then concerned. I look at my little brother, allowing him in my room.

'' Mikey... what do you mean? You should know the answer.'', I tell him. He walks over and sits on my bed, and hugs his knees. '' Mikey, what made you question that?''

'' I was walking to my locker, and a couple of Cody's friends started laughing at me. I tried to walk away... but one of them pinned me. They said they weren't going to leave any physical damage because Raph really messed Cody up and they knew that all of you were willing to fight again if I was dragged into it. So, they verbally abused me.'', Mikey sighs. I feel anger rising in me. How dare they think they can hurt my baby brother?

'' What did they say to you?'', I ask.

'' They saw how I helped you with April and told me it wouldn't be long until I was alone. You and the others would leave... and I'll be alone.'', Mikey looks down. I wrap my arms around him and let him cry on my chest. I held him tight, like if I let go, he's gone. The thought of him gone made me hold him tighter.

'' Mikey, that will never happen and you know that. Yes, I like April, but, no offense to her, you're way more important to me. You're my little brother and I will always have your back. And, no one will ever mean as much to me as you do. Never doubt that, okay?'', I tell him. He smiles.

'' Thanks, Donnie. You're the best big bro ever.'', it's been forever since I've heard him say that.

'' Last time you said that we were, what, 8?'', I laugh. He laughs and then smiles. We stayed that way for a bit, hugging each other, not letting go. If anything, Mikey is the one that will leave me in the future. He's becoming very popular. One day, he's going to forget about his nerdy older brother. I better hug him while I can.

'' Didn't realize it's been that long.'', Mikey comments. We sat there for a moment, just in complete silence. '' So, April, huh?'', in embarrassment, I push him off of me, causing him to break out laughing. I can feel my face burn with embarrassment.

'' Shut up!'', I snap.

'' Aw! That's so cute!'', he comments. I tackle him to the ground.

'' That's it!", I yelled, as I tackled him. We were both laughing, and Mikey tries to escape.

'' Uncle! Uncle!'', I let him go, but he tackles me to the ground. I wince in pain due to my spine injury, and Mikey stops. '' Donnie! I'm sorry!''

'' Sorry for what? I'm fine.'', I insist. He looks down, and I sigh. '' You know perfectly well what happened that day was not your fault.''

'' You got hurt so I wouldn't have to.''

'' And you would have done the same thing for me.'', I tell him. I know him perfectly well. He'd take pain so I wouldn't have to. Not like I would let him. I couldn't allow Mikey to get hurt.

'' Donatello, my son, I would like to have a word with you.'', Dad says, knocking on my door. Me and Mikey look at each other.

'' Alright, Dad. I'll be in the study in a second!'', I call. I hear my father walk off. I look at Mikey, as we both get up.

'' I think it's about today. I heard Leo and him talking a little bit ago.'', oh, God, Leo. Please tell me you didn't tell Dad what I said earlier? Me and Mikey walk out of my room, Mikey giving me a reassured nod, and I go to the study, finding my father there, looking at me with his big brown eyes.

'' I believe this is important.'', Dad says, as I look up at him.

'' Yeah, Dad?''

'' Leonardo informed me that you think I'm not proud of you.'', Dad takes my shoulder. '' That is not the case. My son, you make me very proud every day. You all do. Just because you make me proud in a different way. You are very intelligent. Don't ever think for a moment you don't make me proud.''

'' Thanks, Dad.'', I smile, feeling a little better, but I can't believe Leo told Dad. Well... yes I can.

'' Now, that is all, Donatello.''

Raph's POV

I go down to the basement, which was our dojo, and begin to punch my punching bag. I feel my face burn with anger. I failed them. Why can't I do anything right!?

'' Raph, hey.'', I stop, jumping as I hear a female voice. I turn around, and see Emily, Leo's crush, who, for some reason, liked hanging around me.

'' Oh, hey, Emily, Leo's upstairs helping Dad.''

'' I didn't come here to see Leo, I came to see you.'', she says, and I back up as she gets closer.

'' Why?''

'' Listen... Raph... I'm going to be honest right now, the moment I saw you, I fell in love with those green eyes of yours.'', she moves in closer, and I continue to back up.

'' Don't.''

'' Why? Raph, just hear me out.''

'' I don't want to hear anymore.'', this wasn't right. Leo fell for this girl, but she fell for me. Why? That's not how it's suppose to work. Without warning, she wraps her arms around me, and pulls her lips to mine.

'' WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?'', I hear the voice of my older brother shout, just as I went to push her off of me. I turn around, and see Leo standing there, with a hurt expression on his face.

'' Leo, I'm sorry, but I fell for Raph.''

'' But, I don't like you like that!'', I snap, I go to talk to Leo, but he pushes me to the ground, tears forming in his eyes.

'' How could you!?'', he ran back upstairs, and I felt extremely guilty. I didn't even kiss her though. She kissed me.

'' Go. Now. You hurt MY brother. He hates me now. Are you happy!?'', I snap. She sighs, and walks away. I punch my punching bag so hard it broke. Why did I just hurt Leo?

Leo's POV

I slam my bedroom door, and sigh. I know Raph didn't kiss her. I saw the whole thing. But... why does it hurt?! Why do I feel so betrayed? Why am I angry at Raph? I choke on sobs. Why can't I just be happy?

'' Leo... I'm sorry!'', I hear Raph say, as he knocks on the door.

'' Just... just leave me alone.'', I sigh.

'' I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't kiss her. She kissed me. I know you're angry with me, but, bro, I really do feel... bad...'', I hear Raph's footsteps. I want to stop him and tell him I forgive him, but I just can't even get up now.

Mikey's POV

I look through Facebook, smiling, until something catches my eye. Someone posted on Donnie's timeline, several people did.

Why don't you just kill yourself, worthless? No one wants you around!

Dating April, huh? Watch your back.

Wouldn't it be a shame if something happened and caused you to finally die?

'' WHO THE SHELL WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!?'', I throw my phone on my bed, and storm to Donnie's room.
