(Miko) I love the reviews I'm getting. :D Thanks you so much. Reviews make m happy. Any way disclaimer I do not own TMNT
I open my eyes I'm try to see but blinded by the white light. I can't remember why, I can't-
"Is Mikey up?" I hear Donnie ask.
"He should be." I hear my dad respond. "Michelangelo get up! Your gonna be late!" I jump at the sound of his voice. I grab my bag and run out of the hall closet and into the living room.
"Hey Don." I said walking over to them.
"Come on Mikey." Donnie said. He headed out the door closing it behind us as we left.
"Sup Don." I said as we headed to school.
"How come you told me?" Donnie asked suddenly.
"Because your my friend and I trust you." I said.
"Oh." Donnie said. We continued walking in silence. We are almost at the school when- "I think you should tell Leo and Raph." Don blurts out covering his mouth. I look at him.
"I can't. You know I can't." I said. "There is no telling what dad would do." We walked up the steps in silence. Raph and Leo walked up to us.
"There you guys are." Raph said.
"We we're wondering when you'd get here." Leo said. His voice not so...grown up sounding. I smiled.
"Sorry we're late. I had to wait for Mikey." Donnie said.
"Sorry. Got distracted with my game dude." I said seeing them switch there looks at me.
"It's ok." Leo said. "We're not late for class." I smiled as we walked down the hallway. "You guys wanna come over this Friday?"
"Sounds good to me. We can all take turns doing the project at each others houses." Donnie said.
"Ya. Sounds great." Raph said.
"Huh...oh...I don't know if dad would let me." I said nervously.
"Oh..ok." Leo said. The bell rang and we went to English class. Leo looked a bit upset. I hope it wasn't about me not being able to go over to his house. Donnie looked stressed. I think it had something to do with what I told me yesterday. Raph asleep. As always. I sighed. I couldn't stand seeing Leo upset, and Donnie looked so stressed being the only one I told. Ok that settles it. I'll tell Leo and Raph. During Gym class. The bell rang and we went into Science class. Nothing really happened. The teacher asked about our project. Me and Donnie explained how we we're doing with it. She loved our idea and thought it was very creative. Gym class came really quickly. Me and Donnie sat on the bleachers.
"Mikey..I've been thinking." Donnie said.
"There's a shock." I said laughing.
"I think you should tell Raph and Leo." Donnie said. Before I could respond the coach interrupted.
"Hey, get down here and pick two other people for your team." He said. We walked down the steps onto the court. Raph and Leo walked over to us. Coach took that as them being our other two teammates and started the match. We we're a good team. Donnie like froze when we tossed him the ball. He just stood there. It was pretty funny to me. I laughed and said to pass the ball to Raph or Leo. He threw it to me. It bounced off my head and into the basket. Don't think that could if we tried. I fell over as I watched the ball fly. Leo and Raph helped him as Donnie ran over.
"I'm so sorry Mikey. I..i panicked." Donnie said.
"Don't worry about it." I said.
"Okay you four hit the showers." Coach said. We walked into the showers. I was drying my hair off when Leo walked out of the showers followed by Raph. They both just had shorts on same as me
"That shot was awesome." Raph said.
"Ya, good thing I have a thick skull." I said laughing. Donnie walked over completely dressed. My smile dropped from my face. "uh...guys...I have to tell you something."
"What's up?" Leo asked. I noticed a hint a worry in his eyes.
"I told Donnie this yesterday...and uhm...well...my dadsbeenkindofhittingmeandstuff." I said really fast. Raph looked so confused.
"Say what now?" Raph said.
"Can you repeat that...a bit slower." Leo said. Just then more boy ran in and pulled my shirt off and walked out of the room before they could stop me.
(Raph's POV)
I slammed Donnie into the lockers.
"What was he gonna say Donnie." I said giving him my best death glare. No I wasn't gonna really hurt him, just scare him a little.
"Raph put him down." Leo said. I looked at him.
"Not tell he tells us what's goin on with Mike." I said.
"Okay...just lower your voices...I promised him I wouldn't say anything. But he's our friend...and" He said I set him down. He pulled us closer and whispered that Mikey's dad was hitting him..and basically abusing him. My eyes went wide.
"This is a surprise." Leo said. "I never knew this about Mikey-"
"You told them?" A voice from behind us said. We turned around suddenly and saw Mikey standing there.
"Mikey I-"
"You promised not to say anything!" He yelled. He ran out of the building.
"I'm sorry." Donnie says. He runs out after him. I start leaving. I stop and see Leo still standing there.
"You comin'?" I asked. "Come on Leo...if he's really your friend to you'll come help cheer him up." Leo nodded and ran out with me. We found him sitting next the building with his head on his knees and his hands on his head. Donnie sat down next to him.
"Mikey I'm really truly sorry." Donnie said.
"You promised you..wouldn't...s..say..anything." Mikey said though sobs. He was crying...we just made our friend cry. My heart broke a little.
"Mike...we didn't know it was a secret." I said.
"Mikey...if stuff was going on you know, you can always come and talk to us." Leo said. Mikey lifted his head.
"Really?" He asked.
"Hey, we're all friends now." I said. Mikey smiled.
"We've got to tell a teacher...or the co-" Leo started to say.
"No! You can't tell anyone." Mikey said frowning again. "Please, as my friends promise me you won't tell anyone."
"Ok, ok. We won't tell anyone." Leo said Mikey smiled. "Unless..." Mikey frowned again. "It becomes serious enough to involve grown ups...or the police."
"Deal." Donnie said.
"Deal." I said. We looked at Mikey.
"Deal." Mikey sad half heartedly. We stopped by the bathroom and Mikey cleaned his face up a bit then separated to our classes.
(Miko) Hope you guys enjoyed the little twist I put in there...hopefully you caught it. Anyway. Reviews are always welcome.
