Tell the truth ch4
The three older mutant brothers rushed into action at their baby brother's call. They couldn't lose their father now. It was too soon they still had much to learn. Too much to love.
As Donnie ran into his father's room the sight before him shocked him. But only for a moment he needed to help Mikey.
Unfortunately the sight of Mikey giving CPR to their father was too much for Leo and Raph. When had Mikey learnt CPR? The only time Donnie taught them how Mikey was on his video games.
Donnie Ran over and Pushed Mikey out of the way. Mikey was doing a good job but he seemed to be struggling and Donnie couldn't deal with Mikey and Splinter at the same time.
Mikey hit the floor hard. Much hared then Donnie meant but he couldn't help him now.
Raph ran over to Don's side hovering he knew there was nothing he could do to help Donnie. But he couldn't just stand in the door way. Leo ran over to Mikey and helped him sit up. He could tell there was something wrong but he couldn't deal with that now.
Mikey with the help of Leo managed to sit up agents the wall. He watched his three brothers try and save their father and there was nothing he could do to help. He couldn't catch his breath. He knew he shouldn't have done something like CPR but he couldn't just sit there and watch his father die. Only now he just might come to the same fate if he doesn't get up and use is inhaler.
So with more effort than it really should have taken Mikey pushed himself off the wall and stumbled out the room. Leavening his brothers behind. Knowing they wouldn't even notice him gone.
As he made his way to the bathroom he started to hear a whistling noise. He knew it was coming from himself. He knew he shouldn't have pushed himself but of course he did. He always did and the only one who could ever really stop him was lying in the other room dyeing.
When Mikey got into the bathroom he noticed for the first time the tears rolling down his face. Ignoring them as best he could he reached under the sink and behind the cleaning supplies for a small box. In the small box was his emergency inhaler. He used it only once before and his father had to hold it for him he passed out and woke up two days later. Luckily no one noticed because Raph was too busy being the Nightwatcher and Donnie was too busy with his tech job.
Mikey had to hold his inhaler with two hands he was shaking so much. After taking a deep breath the pinching in his chest started to relax but it wasn't until after three more puffs from his inhaler that he was relatively ok. If he was human he should be at the hospital but since he's a mutant turtle he would always have to settle for the next best thing.
Donnie leaned back he had been at it for over 20 minutes since he pushed Mikey away from his father and in those 20 minutes
Their father showed no signs of life. No sign that he would ever wake up again. With that thought in mind he fell back against the wall tears streaming down his face. Donnie was done he just couldn't save him.
Raph upon seeing his younger brother's defeat could not accept the defeat so easily. "Fuck this! I ant given up so easily!" he said before he rushed to his father's side to continue the CPR
"Raph" Leo yelled to his brother.
"It's been over 30 Minutes! He's gone! There is nothing more we can do! Just…. Just give it a rest".
And for the first time in his life Raph saw it in Leo's eyes. He finally saw the burning light of hope he's brother always seemed to carry with him. He saw it go out.
Mikey tried. Mikey tried as hard as he could not to start crying again. But when he left the bathroom finally able to breath once more and heard his oldest brother start yelling at Raph to just give up. Mikey knew his family would never be the same again.
As he walked into his room. He stopped and locked his door for the first time in his life. He just wanted to be alone.
Mikey walked over to his bed and was about to just go to sleep till he felt his old beaten up laptop under his pillow. Pulling it out and logging on to his IM. He got a message instantly.
April_O hey Mikey. Haven't talked in weeks. What's up?
Mikey_H Hi April. I don't want to talk right now.
April_O Mikey what's wrong! Should I go over!?
Mikey_H No! April master splinter just.

Mikey_H I won't April. And thanks. TTYL
April_O Bye Mike
April_O Has Logged off
Mikey closed his laptop. There was no need to message Casey April would tell him.
"Well" Mikey said to an empty room "I guess I have no one to help me now." Right before Mikey fell into a restless sleep. If you really strained your ears. You could hear him ask.
"Does this mean in all alone?"
