-Donnie's POV-
Where is everybody? I asked myself sitting at the table catching myself, yet again, looking at the clock. It's not like April to miss our study date. She would have texted me if she couldn't make it.
The door opened and in walked Mikey and April, I was able to caught a glance of Leo and Arika talking... It didn't look good.
"Sorry, I'm late. I was Reading ahead in a class and lost track of time." April said setting her stuff down.
"No problem. I was a little preoccupied myself." I lied so she didn't feel too bad, "What's going on with Leo and Arika?"
"Karai's in town. She 'cause some trouble." Mikey said reaching the door to his bedroom.
"Oh... When'd she get into town?"
"Who knows." He replied disappearing into her bedroom.
"No, Leo, I already made up I mind! I see that you already did too!" We heard Arika yell.
"I haven't said anything about us! Why are you making assumptions when you haven't even heard me out!?" Yelled Leo.
"Because I don't need to!"
"Arika wait."
"Just leave me the hell alone Leo! I just need to be left alone."
I stood up from the table as Leo opened the door, doing everything he can not to slam it, but still managed to close the door quietly. Good think Splinter is at his bingo game. I thought.
"You guys okay?" I asked.
"I'm fine." He said angrily, then stopped as he reached the couch, "We're fine. Just worry about yourself Donnie." He then went to his bedroom.
"What is with everyone tonight?" I asked sitting back down noticing that April wasn't totally herself. "Do you know what's going on?"
"Um... You should really talk to your brothers... Or Arika."
"April, why were you late?"
"Go ahead April, tell him. Even though we agreed that someone else would do it." Karai said walking through our door.
"What are you talking about? April, what is she talking about?"
"Let's just say that your family, that friend downstairs, and your crush has an interesting past. Especially that downstairs neighbor of yours." She said with an evil grin.
-Arika's POV-
"Was that you and Leo just now?" Mom asked as I walked through the door.
"What does it matter to you? When did you all of a sudden start caring so but me life?"
"That is no way to talk to your mother." My dad, who I thought was gone, said.
"Why are you really here Dad? Why did you make a trip out here 2 weeks before I come down to visit."
"I assume that Karai filled you in." He said.
"Yeah, she has. She also recruited a team while she was at it. Are you the part that? Are you and Karai rebuilding the clan I barely left with my life?!"
"I never did understand why did leave." My dad muttered under her breathe.
"You know why she left. Do you not remember what it did to her?!" Mom butted in.
"Shut up!" He said smacking her across the face.
"Don't touch her!" I grunted.
"Or what, you'll stand up to me again?" He said walking closer to me, whispering in my ear. "Or do I need to remind you about the last time you tried to take charge."
"You promise."
"Yeah, well, I lied. I thought you would have been used to that by now, I guess I was wrong."
"You're not going home are you?" I asked as he walked past me to get to the door.
"Sweetheart, I am home." He said disappearing behind the door.
"You told me you got out. That you wouldn't be needed, ever." Mom said.
"That was with the old boss. I'm afraid that Dad has decided to take over, rebuild. I just happen to be his first recruit, and I have a feeling that it's going to be more difficult to get out of this employment." I said going to my bedroom.
-Leo's POV-
"Let's just say that your family, that friend downstairs, and your crush has an interesting past. Especially that downstairs neighbor of yours." I hear Karai.
"What the hell are you talking." Donnie said.
I walked out of my bedroom saying, "Don't you think you've done enough damage for today? Get out."
"Awe... Do you need someone to cuddle with? I'd be more than happy to." She said walking closer to me.
"I said to get the fuck out."
"You said it much nicer than that, Leo." She nibbled at my ear.
I grabbed her arm, twisting it behind her back, walking her to the door.
"Loosen up. Seriously, it hurts." Her said.
I opened the door, pushing her out, locking the door behind me.
"Leo-"
"Not today Donnie. Not today." I said disappearing into my bedroom for the rest of the night.
