Hi everyone! Here's a new chapter. When I wrote it I wasn't sure if it would in the story or with the characters. But I decided that I wanted to be a part of the story anyways. So let me know what you think of this chapter. If I should continue on this or not. Warning: This chapter contains talking about alcohol and how the characters deal with that. It's fictional and I didn't write it out of experience. Don't forget to let me know what you think of the subject! Enjoy!

It's been a month since Leo told me that I couldn't go patrolling with my brothers anymore, until I could get a hold on myself. But every time I said to him that I was ready and had control of my anger. He said: 'Alright. Prove it.' Leo then crossed his arms and smirked.

'And how am I going to do that?' Was my response very time.

'I don't know, you tell me.' Said Leo then, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. But I didn't know it.

'Hey, bro! What's up!' Casey said cheerful. He was caring a heavy groceries bag in his right hand and a helmet in his left.

'Could be better. Fearless is being mysterious.' Said I through my teeth.

'About what.' Asked Casey.

'He says that I need to prove that I'm in control of my anger. But every time I ask him how he says that I need to think of something to show him that.' My voice was now irritated and louder.

'Well you could ask him to annoy you and then you just don't get angry. Problem solved!' Said Casey. He had this cheerful tone in his voice which started to annoy me. But before I could say something back he started on another subject.

'Hey Raph, wanna come to my friend's house tonight? We're gonna hang out and I thought you could use a little fun time.'

'Uhh. I don't know Casey. I'm not allowed to go out. Leo is going to be very angry. I don't wanna get in trouble and besides, I don't know your friends.' I whispered. I didn't want Leo or anyone else to hear it.

'You can't go outside when it's day. But it's night and they never said that need to be here at night.' Tried Casey.

'Mmm. I don't know.'

'Oh, come on man! Have a little fun in your life! What's the worst thing that can happen? Or are you afraid of my friends. I can assure you, they don't bite.'

'I'm not scared of some stupid friends of yours.'

'Then come with me tonight.'

There was a pause before I answered. 'Alright.' mumbled I.

'Great! I'll pick you up at eight o'clock. He said.

He stood up and walked over to April. I knew that if I would ask Casey would probably deny it, but I knew that he and April were dating. He's my best friend, you just know those things. I guess. I don't really have that much experience with friends. Casey grabbed April at her waist and pulled her closer he then kissed her on her lips. At that particularly moment Donnie walked in. He started at them and I saw the sadness in his eyes. I felt sorry for him. I have no idea what it feels like to be in love with someone who doesn't love you back the way that you love them. I don't even know how it feels like to be in love. Love is something I'm not a part of. I shut it down. If you don't fall love your heart won't break. That's at least what I tell myself. I don't know if it's true, but it works for me.

'See you at eight Raph!' Casey said. He waved at me before he and April left the lair. I decided to train a little or to spar with Mikey or Donnie. I wasn't really in the mood to spar with Leo.

'Mikey! Wanna spar with me?' I shouted at him, Mikey stood on the other side of the dojo punching a punching bag. I usually do that when I'm upset, I didn't think anyone else used that thing.

'Sure. But be prepared, cuz I'm going to win this time.' Mikey said, with a confident voice and a little hint of happiness. I might do some more stuff with Mikey, it's makes him happy.

'In your dreams, little bro.' Smiled I at him. We went in fight position greeted and started the fight. Mikey tried to punch but I blocked it. Now it was my turn to make a movement. I was able to grab his wrist. When I had a hold on his wrist I flipped him over. But Mikey was fast and made barrel roll.

'Nice try, big B. But you have to try harder to conquer the greater M.'

'Big B?' I asked, while laughing.

'Yeah Big Brother. But I'm the greater Mikey.' He said with pride.

'Don't make me laugh. It's a fight not a bad comedian show!'

I punched him on his arms and ears and he punched me on my arms and back. I no longer had a shell to protect my back. Which gave me a disadvantage. We fought like this for a couple of minutes. Until Mikey punched me on the wound on my back. I fell in the ground and tried really hard not to scream in pain.

'I won dude! No one can beat me!' Cheered he, while doing his victory dance. Normally I would slab him in the face. But I was a little too busy with being in pain to slab him. How could I lose! How did this happen!

'Dude are you okay?' Mikey asked after I laid on the ground for a couple of minutes.

'Yeah, I'm okay, it's just my back.' I mumbled. I stood up with my back toward Mikey.

'Raph, your wound is bleeding again.' Mikey pointed at my back. I was able to feel the blood dripping down my back, I felt like sweat dripping down after a fight or training.

'Oh, it's nothing.'

'Maybe you should go to Donnie?' Mikey asked with a little doubt in his voice.

'I'm fine Mikey.' I said, angrier then I meant to. The minute I said that I felt sorry for him. Not a good thing. I tried to make up with him.

'I'll go to Donnie later okay. Don't worry about this little wound.'

'Did someone say my name?' Donnie entered the room.

'Raph's wound is bleeding again.' Mikey said before I was able to say it.

'I'll take a look Donnie said. Let me just get my tools.' We walked away again. I just waited for Donnie to return.

'Pull of your shirt.' He said with his doctor voice. Donnie always had that voice every time he examined one of our wounds. I don't know what sort of voice it was, or how to describe it. I just recognized it. I pulled out my shirt and threw it on the ground.

'I think it might be infected. So, here are some antibiotics. Take one every day for the next two weeks and then I'll take a look again if the infection is over by then.'

'How can it be infected after a whole month?' I asked annoyed.

'I think it was infected the whole time but you just didn't pay attention to it. Like you never do.' The last thing he said with a sigh. Like I was trouble to him. After Donne cleaned my wound and stitched it up again I pulled on my shirt. Casey walked into the room and waved at me like he wanted me to come along.

'Ready?' Asked he. I looked at my watch. 8.13 pm. I think he saw where I was looking at because he answered in a way that is so Casey Jones.

'A quarter past eight. Perfectly on time.' He laughed at me. I laughed back at him. We went with his car, he drove and I sat at the passenger's seat.

'Ready to have a fun night?' Asked Casey.

'I was born ready. Jones, I thought he knew that?' I said with confident.

'We'll see that later.' He said mysteriously. What does he mean with we'll see? Where were we going anyway? 'A friend.' Yeah, but what friend?

Casey parked his car in front of an apartment block.

'Second floor. 34B. He's called Jeff.' Casey said. Knocked on the door and a guy opened the door. He had short black hair, brown eyes and was very tall. Just like me, I'm tall to. 6'3 feet.

'Casey, dude. You're late!' Said the guy excited.

'I thought I was right on time.' Casey said while shaking the guy's hand.

'You would be here about an hour ago.' The guy laughed.

'Like I said, right on time. We didn't miss the party I presume.' Answered Casey.

'Not at all. Who's your friend?' The guys looked at me.

'This is Raph. Raph meet Jeff. Jeff meet Raph.' Responded Casey.

'Nice to meet you Raph, want something to drink?' Said Jeff polite.

'Yeah, thanks what do you have?' I asked.

'Beer, gin, vodka, whisky… name it.' He put his arms in the air like he made a sigh that he had the world.

'Uhh.' What? How old is he? 16? Maybe 17? I don't drink.

'Afraid of alcohol Raph?' Casey laughed at me.

'I'm not afraid of anything!' I crossed my arms and turned to Casey. Who clearly didn't see the problem.

'Give me a beer Jeff.' Jeff walked away, towards the kitchen.

'What are you doing Casey? You know Splinter forbids us to drink alcohol!' I whispered at him, with a little tone of unsureness.

'What doesn't see, what doesn't harm.' He said.

'Look Casey…'

'No Raph. I took you here to have some fun like a normal teenager. You lived your whole live with your brothers and Splinter focused on ninjutsu. Have a little fun.'

Do I want this? What am I gonna do? Jeff came back from the kitchen with three beers in his hands.

'I thought you might want a beer.' He said to me while giving me a beer. I looked at Casey who just started a conversation with Jeff and four other guys in the room. I decided that I would just drink a little beer. What can one or two beers do? It's not like the world is gonna end. Maybe Casey was right. Have a little fun Raph. I drank my beer thirsty. It burned in my throat and it was disgusting. But hey I was gonna drink one beer so who cared if it was disgusting. This went on for like two hours and one beer got four beers, two glasses of whisky and one glass of vodka. My head felt light and my memory was a little blurry. I laughed at everything. It was just so funny! But at one point the room started to spin and I felt some sort of pressure on my throat.

'Oh god! I think he's gonna vomit! Get a bucket!' Casey said. He was a little worried but he was also laughing so I didn't know how he felt. Weird.

I threw up in the bucket and laid down on the couch. Someone came sitting next to me. It was a girl, I think. Long blond hair, grey eyes. Definitely a girl. Girls have long hair am I right?

'Feeling better she asked.' Her voice was high and a little laughy.

'I have felt better than this.' I laughed back at her.

She pulled closer to me and laid her hand on my chest. What is she doing?

'I like your eyes.' She said.

'Really? Haha, I forgot I had eyes.' I laughed so hard. Weird. I'm weird. Why am I so weird?

She looked me in my eyes and then started kissing me. What the hell is happening. This is not good. Not at all.

I stood up and looked at her. She giggled and pointed at me face.

'You've got something on your lips. Let me help you.' She stepped closer to me but I walked away.

'Casey, I wanna leave. Now!' I said with a rushed voice.

'Now? The party just started bro!' He was so drunk.

'Casey we're leaving, right now.' The girl who just kissed me stood now between Casey and me.

'Are you two leaving already?' Asked she, with a playful tone in her voice.

'Yes, we are.' I said. Making very clear that I wanted to leave.

'No were not!' Casey pointed at me. Not sure why he did that.

'We're staying until I say that I want to go.'

'And when will that be?' I asked angry.

'Not a clue!' Casey started to laugh and I felt the girls hand slipping under my t-shirt.

'Then I'm gonna go home by myself.' I said.

'Wow man, you don't even know where you are and your too drunk to walk home.' Casey said with a less happy voice then a couple minutes ago. I looked at him, not moving.

'Alright. Just drink a last whisky and then we go.' He handled me a glass of whisky which I drank up, as fast as I could. Casey also finished his vodka and then we left.

'Can you even drive?' I asked?

'No!' Casey said with a big smile on his face. I just sighed and got in the car. We drove for ten minutes when Leo called. I looked at my phone and saw that he called ten times.

'Hello, with Raph.' I said, a little nervous because I wasn't sure if he would notice if I was drunk.

'Raph where are you?' Leo said angry, but I also heard a little relief in his voice.

'On my way home, with Casey.' I said.

'Alright just hurry up Splinter is not happy with you just leaving. I think he is waiting for you to come home. So, if I was you I would already think of an excuse for why you're not home. Do you even know what time it is?' I heard what he said it just didn't make sense in my head.

'Uhh. I don't know?' I decided to say.

'It's 2.30 am.'

'Alright I'll be home in twenty minutes. Bye.' I hang up. I rubbed my hand through my eyes. I was tired.

'Leo?' Asked Casey.

'Yeah. I sighed.

'What did he want?'

'Not a clue.' We laughed at that.

'He told me a whole story but I only could hear blab la blab la bal.' I laughed hard.

'Shit!' Casey drove against another car while parking his own. The alarm of the other car went off and made my head ache. When it stopped we looked around. No one there. I gave a last look to the left and right and went into the sewers. We laughed for no reason and walked into the lair.

'And where have you been?' Master Splinter asked. I froze. Shit. Completely forgot about Splinter.

'Uhh. We….' I tried but my head was empty.

'He was with my big fella.' Said Casey, which didn't make it any better.

'What is that smell?' Ha said with a weird tone in is voice. Not sure what it was but something in my head said that he already knew what was going on.

'No idea where you're talking about sensei.' Answered I.

'Mmm.I want to have a word with you in the morning Raphael, but for now, sleep.' You have no idea how relieved I was.

'Goodbye Raph. See you!' Casey said and walked away. Toward his car to drive home.

Sensei was already gone to his room. I did the same. I didn't even have the power to pull of my clothes. I just laid on my bed and fell asleep. Tired as I was. I was gone within seconds.
