Raph's pov
" I told Leo, I told him I knew the kids would pick on the kid if she didn't speak up" I muttered for myself and paced around my room. I kept glancing at my clock to see the time. 02:33 am she is surely asleep now so I can't talk with until tomorrow. So I decided to let it go for now but tomorrow I will give that kid a talking to about standing up for herself. I laid down on top of my covers and looked at the ceiling.
I felt anger boiling up from remembering Leo telling Don how she was treated in school. I hate bullies all they do is trying to make someone feel worse than they do to hide that they think their lives suck that just it. Then other kids join in because the notice that the other person gets sad and they want to see how far they can push her.
"Raph are you awake"? I heard Mikey's voice from the doorway I whispered no go back to your own room. Of course it's Mikey he never listens so he came in anyway and sat down on a chair next the bed. I sat up and looked at him waiting for him to start but he never did.
"what is it if you just came in here to bother me than get out" I snapped and he looked up and then nodded and went to get out then I got curious because he didn't say a word he looked troubled.
"Mikey come back here, just tell me what's wrong". I said and he turned back and looked even more troubled.
" I think I'm sick something is seriously wrong" he said and his voice shuddered as he talked and that made me worried.
"DOONNNYY MIKEY IS SICK." I yelled at the top of my voice and Mikey flew a few feet in the air and looked at me with wide eyes and I grinned a little at the fact that I probably scared him a little.
"well that is what the punk gets for bothering me in the middle of the night he he he" I thought and put a hand on his forehead.
"that is what you do if you sick in this family, you go to Donny you don't bug me got it" I said but with a grin so he could tell that I was joking. I don't want him to think he can't come to me if something really is bugging him that would make me worried that he wouldn't trust me. Though I would never admit that
Donny came rushing looking extremely irritated and tired. I couldn't help but smile at that either.
" I sure hope it's something serious for waking me up at this time of night" He said grumpily and not long after that Leo came rushing in he also looked annoyed.
"I agree with Donny here what is so urgent that couldn't wait until the morning" Leo said angrily and I pointed a thumb at Mikey. They all looked at him and the started to look friendlier now.
"what's wrong mikey tell me does something hurts" Donny asked and felt his forehead.
"well my stomach feels like I swallowed a bunch a butterflies which I don't understand why I would and my heart beats faster and I think I'm allergic, I just didn't think you could be allergic to a person it happens everytime I think about her" he said and all of us started smiling we all knew what his illness was.
"aww Mikey is in love" I taunted and Leo and Don started laughing and Mikey turned a darker shade of green.
"now who make you feel this way" Leo asked he stopped laughing but he still had a smile and tried to take Mikey seriously, he looked down trying to hide that he was blushing.
aww this is so cute"I couldn't help but think that.
"it's evertime I think of Zoey and I don't have a crush on her I barely know c'mon" he said and now he stopped blushing. "I just thought that she is a pretty girl, I mean pretty smile, those blue eyes her soft hair and smelled good like vanilla and how I could just look into her eyes forever" he said and he started to stare dreamingly at us which made me bite my lip from trying to keep from laughing.
"Mikey it really does sound as if you have a crush on her, but be careful she might not feel the same way and not to mention she has enough problems right now, with bullies and missing her mom, I mean you help her a lot sure but" Donny started but when I saw how depressed Mikey became the more he talked I interrupted him.
"what dorko is trying to say is be careful we don't want to see you heartbroken but if she does feel the same then don't lose that opportunity, Donny is right about something though she might need to deal with her bullying problem before starting anything with you" I said and tried to explain to him and nodded at that.
After my little speech of encouragement we decided to get to bed at least sleep the two more hours before morning practice.
" oh well at least I could help one of them" I thought before falling asleep.
Authors note
I wanted to give a little brother bonding between the turtles and little insight of what raph is thinking.
