The two stared at each other, one in shock the other in pure curiosity. "Where father?" Mikey asked again, Don didn't say anything he couldn't he was shocked. Mikey remembered Master Splinter! He was happy that his brother was remembering he really was, but how to tell him. How to tell you're mentally unstable brother that their father was gone. "Donnie?" the turtle sighed "Let's go to bed" he then said Mikey blinked "Father?" "In the morning, now come on its late" Mikey frowned but followed him to his room, after tucking his brother in Don went to his lab no longer tired.

The next morning Mikey and Raph came down for breakfast Mr. Bear in his arms ( he was attached to the thing, Don said it was a kind of comfort for him, and that made Raph feel all warm inside. Just don't let him here you say that aloud) Don and Leo were already waiting. Don had told the others about last night earlier this morning and after much hesitation (Don) and argument (Leo and Raph) they agreed that if Mikey asked again they would tell him the truth, surprisingly Mikey didn't say a word as he sat down for breakfast ( they finally convinced him to use the utensils) or all day.

It was when they were watching a movie that Mikey asked "Leo" he said. Said turtle looked at him "Yea Mike?" "Where Father?" the movie was the only thing that made a sound, "He gone" Don said after minutes ticked by "Gone where?"

Where he'd go?

"He died" Leo said Mikey's brow furrowed in confusion, father was gone?

NO! THEY LIE!

"No he's not dead" Mikey said "Its true Mikey" Leo said. "No! I saw him! I saw him!" this was what Don was worried about, Mikey was confused. His mind was right now stuck in a different time frame and them telling that Master Splinter died just confused him more, "Mikey calm down!"

LIARS!

"LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! LIARS!" father wasn't gone, he saw him, and he was alive. He remembered it clearly, Father was in that chair where Leo was sitting in minutes ago drinking his green tea and watching his stories, "No, not true, not true!" then Mikey did something he thought he forgot when he lost his mind, he cried, in Leo's arms.

***********

"This was what I was worried about" after they were able to clam Mikey down, the younger turtle had gone to his room, "His memoires, are so jumbled that his mind is stuck in a different time frame" Don said "but don't worry" he then quickly added at his two brothers alarmed expressions "Once his memories settle he'll be fine" I hope.

In his room Mikey sat on his floor thinking.

THEY LIE, FATHER ALIVE!

Mikey wasn't so sure "They've never lied before" he said "have they?".

No

In fact he wondered what were Leo, Don and Raph to him. If Master Splinter was his father and theirs that would make them his brothers right?

If they are our brothers then why did they leave us alone?

Why? Why did they leave him alone with meanie Shiny Bucket head? Why didn't they come for him?

Didn't they want us?

They did want him or else they wouldn't be here caring for him now.

But they didn't come.

They didn't, for a long time.

Why did they leave us?

Mikey whimpered as his head throbbed with pain and feelings coursed through him, confusion, sorrow and something he hadn't felt in a long time anger.

A loud crash from the youngest's room had Donnie dropping the still broken toaster, startling Leo out of his meditation and Raph charging upstairs.

********

Raph swung the door the door opening ducking as an action figure came hurdling towards him, "Mike?" Mikey through another action figure, it hitting the wall breaking into parts, Raph stared in shock at the room for a moment. Papers that he knew came from his brother's sketch books and comics were littered all over the floor torn and into pieces, toys broken. The desk that was in the corner was now turned over and the bed's mattress was flipped, it looked like a tornado had been through here twice!

When Mikey picked up another action figure to throw it, Raph moved grabbing his brother's arm "Mikey stop it!" Mike growled and pulled away, he tripped over a broken remote controller sending the two falling to the floor, they continued to struggle until finally Mikey tiered out and laid underneath the bigger turtle, both panting.

"Why?" he asked after catching his breath Raph looked down at him "Why what?" he asked "Why did you leave me alone?" and when he was met with silence Mikey for the second time cried.

*********

Master Splinter always said "Leader first brother second" and he always followed that saying, always being leader before brother, and now he wondered if it was the right thing. After all it was a leader's decision that made him so strict that night, it was a leader's decision that made his brother run off, and the more he thought about it the more he was beginning to think that it was a leader's decision that caused his brother so much pain.

Whenever one of his brothers had a problem they came to him to solve or fix after all he was the genius of the family, so why couldn't he fix this? Why couldn't he find the solution? He was known to spend hours after hours even days on a problem or a project closing himself off from his family, from the world and if bothered sometimes he'll snap at the person….he snapped at him, pushed him away.

He hadn't meant to, and felt bad afterwards. Worried, when his brother didn't come home, cold when they found nothing but an orange mask sprinkles of blood and broken nunchucks, emptiness and hopelessness when all his searches turned up dead. Now that he had his brother back he still couldn't fix this. He loved his brother more than anything in the world, do anything to protect him and he failed in that, some genius he was.

He was always told that his temper would get the best of him and on several occasions it has, but now as he sat here in his room his brother asleep curled up next to him exhausted from crying, and his thoughts relaying that night. He knew that time had been the worse. He was upset that night, why? He couldn't really remember but he was always mad at something it seems, he remembered his brother smiling as he bounced over to him after Don had shooed him out of the lab.

He remembered feeling slightly amused at his brother's attempts to snatch the remote from him and then annoyances and then anger. He remembered not caring as his brother left the lair eyes darken with sadness and hurt, and that was the last time he saw his brother for nearly five years.

Now like always he wished he could go back and correct his mistake but knew it was to late, and now he was paying for his crime "I'm such a asshole" he mumbled to the dark room and bitter smile dancing on his lips.


There you go Chapter 7, tell me what you think honestly especailly this chapter because this one was hard for me to write, I redid it at least ten times before I was happy with it. I think I may have made Leo, Raph and Don OOC in the last part with thier thoughts.

One more chapter to go then THE END!

Review Plzz !

Bye-bye!^^
