*I just want to thank my reviewers and favouriters for doing what they do. I appreciate all the support. It means a lot to me!

Leo: Um… aren't you forgetting something?

Disclaimer: Uhh… hmm… oh yeah! I wish with my entire, pathetic little heart that I owned TMNT, but I do not. I also do not own Domino's Pizza or Bruce (whoever he is). Please follow, favourite, and review!

Ashley: She does own me though.

Me: DATS RIGHT! I'M YO MASTER!

Ashley: *cries into Leo's shoulder as he rubs her back*

Leo: YOU MONSTER!

Me: *Laughs manically and rubs hands together*

ONWARD!

Chapter 9- Me

(BACK TO ASHLEY'S P.O.V.)

I slowly opened my eyes and looked up at the ceiling. It looked familiar. I was feeling serious déjà-vu. Still laying on my back, not moving at all, I looked around and saw Leo in the same position he was when I was first laying in this bed.

I squirmed around a bit and tried to lay to my right facing Leo, but I quickly turned on my back again. I remembered my arm and how a piece of metal in the screen at Bluenotes sliced deep into it.

I held the bandages lightly and hissed in pain. I squeezed my eyes shut in pain, which I have a tendency to do in several types of situations. "HOLY", I exclaimed in pain. Then I heard a friendly, once anonymous voice, say softly, "Ashley, are you alright?"

My eyes snapped open and I turned my head to face Leo, whose eyes were filed with joy, surprise, and a hint of worry. Our eyes locked, and there was a peaceful silence for about three seconds as we just looked at each other. "Leo? What… what happened?"

Then the memories of the mall flooded back. I remembered the panic in my lungs, the knot in my stomach, the gash on my arm. But I hadn't endured this alone… "APRIL! IS SHE OKAY?!" I began to worry and I felt my facial expression go from confused and dazed to scared and worried. I grabbed Leo's arm when I said 'April' in order to brace myself for any bad news that he might have about April. His eyes softened and, still speaking gently, said, "Calm down. She is fine. She's been on the couch since yesterday waiting for you to wake up. When you were about to come into our van, you passed out because of how much blood you lost. That was about two days ago."

I began to show a toothless smile as I started to sit up and said calmly, "You… waited for me to wake up?" His eyes wandered to the ceiling and then to the floor as he scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, well, I just wanted to make sure that you were okay and all…"

He glanced up at me, looking a little embarrassed, and looked back down at the floor again. I grinned wider and said even softer, "That's so sweet. Thank-" I was interrupted by my stupid stomach growling as if I hadn't eaten in days. Well, actually, I hadn't.

He looked up and smiled. "You hungry?" My grin grew even wider as I nodded. He came around to the left side of the bed and put his left hand on his stomach, extending his elbow in my direction, in an ushering manner. I stood up beside him and took his arm as he escorted me to the kitchen, although, I had to keep my right arm bent so that it wouldn't hurt as much.

Once we got to the kitchen, he pulled up a chair and motioned towards it for me to sit down. I blushed a bit and sat down. He pushed the chair in a little and walked over to the fridge. He opened it and looked around.

"Hmmm…. Hmm hmmm hmmm…" He made thinking noises as he moved things around and bobbed his head up, down, left, and right in the fridge. He closed the fridge door and walked over to me. He leaned against the table with his left elbow and said, "Well, we have no food that is worth serving... so... you wanna order a pizza?" I smiled and nodded as he went to grab his phone.

He was back in a flash with a phone and said, "Where do you like your pizza from?" I tapped my chin with the side of the knuckle of my left index finger. "Domino's", I said with a smile. He smiled as well, "That's our favourite place. We all have it on speed dial."

He pushed one button and pulled up a chair beside me as he put the phone to his "ear". He grabbed a pen and a paper and mouthed the words 'Write down what you want'. I took the paper and pen from him and wrote down 'plain cheese with bacon and a coke please'.

I pushed the paper towards him and watched him read it. He smiled and said, "Hello? Hey Bruce, it's Leo. … I'm fine, how's your day going? ... Awesome! … Yeah, the usual. Oh, and one small plain cheese with bacon and a coke. … Yeah, we've got a friend over right now. … No, she's a girlfriend. … NOT A GIRLFRIEND! A FRIEND WHO'S A GIRL! … Yeah, suuure. … Alright. Thanks. Bye."

He hung up the phone and rolled his eyes. "Bruce", he said under his breath. I couldn't help but laugh. "What was all that?" He looked at me and smiled. "We order pizza a lot. Bruce is the owner of the store we order from. He works everyday there. He doesn't know who we are or that we're turtles. He just knows our names and our usual. He was wondering what the extra pizza was for and I told him it was for a girlfriend… but he took it the wrong way."

I smiled and laughed. He stood up beside me and put his hand on his stomach and extend his elbow in my direction again. For a Turtle, he was pretty adorable.

"Shall we retire to the couch?", he asked with a smug grin on his face. "Yes, yes we shall." I took his arm and he walked me to the couch.

I sat down and he walked over to the TV and turned it on. "MIKEY!", he yelled louder than I'd ever heard him say anything. Soon enough, Mikey bounded in and immediately saw me. "ASHLEY!", he exclaimed in excitement.

"YOU'RE OKAY!" He ran towards me and hugged my waist on the left side. He squeezed me so tightly that he deprived me of air. I looked at Leo, my face becoming red, and he rushed over, prying Mikey off me. He gave Leo a stink face, but realized that he had been choking me. I coughed a couple of times and held my stomach. "Oh… sorry." He looked down and kicked a pebble on the ground in front of him. "It's okay", I said smiling. He smiled and looked to Leo with a smile, "You called for me?"

"Yeah.", Leo said, glancing at me, then looking back at Mikey. "We ordered pizza so I need you to go wait for it." Leo handed Mikey a twenty and a ten dollar bill. Mikey waited a few seconds before taking it slowly.

"Did you order some for me?" Leo rolled his eyes and put his hands on his hips. "I ordered some for all of us."

"ALRIGHT!" Mikey ran and hugged Leo by the shoulders. "I love you man." He kissed Leo on the cheek which made him growl a little. "Seriously!", Mikey said with excitement. Then he bounded off into the darkness of the sewer tunnel.

Leo grabbed the remote and sat down a few inches away from me. He turned on the TV and said, "What do you want to watch?" I pondered this for a few seconds before replying, "WWE". He laughed and changed the channel to WWE. "You sound like Raph." We both smiled and watched WWE as we waited for our pizza to arrive.
