the boyfriend.
April's POV.
I was sitting in my living room next to Casey, we were watching television. Tonight it was almost certain the turtles wouldn't show up, even they wouldn't be out in this thunderstorm. But with the guys you never know for sure, not even with Thanny their little sister, well 'little' she's already sixteen years old you can't quite call that little anymore. But the guys still look at her like a five year old especially Raph normally Leo was one of the two overprotective big brothers but a couple of weeks ago that has changed, him finding out that Thanny was the black lotus and all. Casey cheered when two monster trucks leaped in the air, I don't get it what's fun about giant cars, those people put million of dollars in those environment destroying machines only to have them wrecked in a couple of seconds, but if Casey wants monster trucks he'll get his stupid monster trucks. I got to see my romantic movie last night even though he fell asleep.
Suddenly there was a knocking on the front door, strange the guys usually came through the window.
"you ordered pizza babe?"
"no, no I didn't" Casey stood up and stalked carefully to the door and opened it. You never know who's on the other side. We don't have a lot of friends except for the guys, Splinter and Thanny and our family usually calls when they are going to visit, maybe it's just us being paranoid and all but when you're friends with the turtles it's a normal reaction.
"Thanny what the hell?" Casey yelled, I jumped from my seat and ran to the door.
"Thanny, what happened?" she was soaked, her clothes were dirty and she was crying? I've never seen her cry. "come in, Casey get some blankets and call the guys, now" Casey was on his way already not knowing which to do first.
"No! " she cried in panic, Casey stopped in his tracks "please don't" she pleaded, she started trembling I don't know if it's from the rain or from the emotions either way she has to come in, she's just standing there as if she's deciding either to come in or not.
"alright, calm down sweetie, just tell us what happened first, then we'll decide if we're going to call your brothers" she just nodded and I lead her to the living room.
"... sorry, if I've disturbed your evening" she said in a crackled voice, probably from the crying.
"it's nothing, babe, here you go" Casey said as he covered her in warm blankets.
"thanks" she said softly, if was almost to quiet to hear.
"you want anything else sweetie, tea or hot chocolate" I asked, while I handed her a tissue.
"no thank you" Casey sat down on the other side of her.
"can you tell us want happened?" I ask, she nodded and whipped a her tears away.
"it started a few days ago ..."
we were on patrol and were just about to go home when we heard the sound of a struggle coming from a nearby alley, it was Hun and his gang who were beating someone up. While the guys fought of Hun and the most of his goons, I had to defend the victim. We always did it like this, so when the person woke up he wouldn't be scared half to death to see 4 mutant turtles. They were still fighting when the person woke up, I rushed to him or her to check for any injuries. When I got closer I saw that it was a boy I guessed he was around my age, he had dirty blond hair that fell into his face and brown eyes, he had a piercing in his left eyebrow and had a couple of bruises covered across his face. Even though I thought he was pretty attractive.
"What happened to Hun?" the boy asked asked
"He's busy at the moment" I grinned "You hurt anywhere?"
"No, nothing to bad"
"good, now I suggest you run." I said
"why?"
"because, the dragons are right there and you're not seriously hurt so ..."
"but I want to get to know you better."
"what?"
"you heard me"
"yeah, I can't"
"why not?
"family matters" I said
"Let me guess overprotective father?" he asked.
"yes, and overprotective elder brothers" what are you doing Theng Sjen?
"who cares meet me in this alley tomorrow same time, if you dare" and he ran of.
I must say I'm quite flattered, guys normally find me a freak and show not the bit of interest in of course the next day I went. I walked into the alley late at night.
"psst anyone here?" I asked, "hello?" he stood me up!
"so you came after all, what did your brothers say about you leaving in the middle of the night to meet a stranger?"
" what they don't know can't kill you"
he had to laugh at that.
"well, did I thank you already for saving my butt yesterday?"
"no, you didn't"
"well thank you"
"you're welcome"
"Well my little guardian angel, my name is Jake"
"I am Theng Sjen, but everyone calls me Thanny"
we kept meeting each other and after a while I had a huge crush on him and he had one for me too, or so he said. but today it all went wrong ...
we kept meeting in the same alley, we'd talk or even make out sometime. today it was the second when he was kissing me I spotted something on his neck, first I thought it was a hickey or something. But then I moved his shirt down and saw that it was in fact a tattoo.
"no way." I pushed him of.
"what's the matter angel?" he asked.
"why do you have a purple dragon tattoo on your neck?!" I yelled .
"oh crap"
"this is a trap isn't it?"
"no not at all !"
"don't lie to me" I fell back in my fighting position, suddenly he began to laugh.
"you honestly taught a sane person could ever like a freak like you?" no! asshole, I was trying with all my might not to burst into tears. He came closer.
"get back or I will attack you" I yelled.
"come on angel ..."
"... stop calling me that!!"
"you're weak, you can't attack me, because you're in love with me" He carefully stepped forward, he was mocking me.
"shut up Jake!" I tried to sound though, damn how could I ever let my guard down!! Stupid, stupid.
"what? then attack me!" he got closer "see you can't, foolish girl" he tackled me to the ground and pinned me down. He grabbed his phone.
"boss, I got her" he said and hung up, I had once again his attention. "how does it feel to know that you're going to be the downfall of your family? That because of your false hope that someone would actually care about you, they are going to be punished" they were going to use me against my brothers, no way! that was the one thing that got me really mad really fast definitely in this situation, with all the force I could gather I kicked him against his head, he was unconscious in a matter of seconds. I pushed him from me, and ran out of the alley.
I hadn't noticed until now that it was raining, really hard. I ran as fast as I could I didn't care anymore for the tears but I knew that I couldn't go home like this, what would they say? Raph would hate me for being so stupid.
"poor thing, it's okay" I said as I hugged her she burst into tears again, I was rocking her while stroking her hair. I signaled to Casey to call the guys, so he did. He went into the other room to call, I could understand why she wouldn't want her brothers to know about this but I think it is best to let them know about this. Poor little thing she's exhausted, she began trembling in my arms. In less then a minute the guys stood at our window, she had already fallen asleep. I released her and gently laid her on the couch, it seemed that even while she was sleeping she still was crying.
I could even blink they were all by here side in less then a second.
"What happened ?" Mikey and Leo asked.
"Is she injured?" Donnie looked her over for any possible injury.
"who did this?" Raph asked and took his sais out.
"A purple dragon made her believe he was in love with her and toyed with her emotions, he was going to lure her into a trap but she found out and got away, she's not injured just cold and exhausted" I explained.
"what's his name ?" Raph asked.
"Jake, I'm coming with you" Casey said, he knew you couldn't stop Raph but he could try to convince him not to kill him
"dude, she's been crying" Mikey stated when he noticed the tears leaking from her eyes.
"the asshole made her cry?!" Raph yelled and smashed a lamp.
"calm down, please she doesn't need any of that now." Raph just growled and jumped out the window with Casey in tow of course.
"well what does she need?" Mikey asked, like she was still a child and a kiss could make it all better.
"a few days to recover, probably a few liters of ice cream and you guys by her side especially Raph"
"why?" they all asked.
"she said something later"
"what?" Donnie asked while he continued to study her.
"did she and Raph gotten into a fight today or something?"
"well ...to be honest they have been fighting more then usual the last couple of weeks" Leo admitted
"yeah, but that's because Raph's pissed because his shellcycle is wrecked and he is allowed much out of the house from Splinter, why?" Mikey said.
"nothing, I just hope he's back when she wakes up"
"wouldn't count on it" Mikey said.
"when Raph's like this he'll be out a couple of hours" Leo said, yeah I should have guessed so I often saw Raph when he was pissed off he can allow only Casey by his side when he's in this state usually he just needs to vent, but I doubt that tonight thats all he's going to need.
"yeah I wouldn't want to be that guy when he's through with him" Mikey said, I knew they all would do the same if they would come across the guy but seeking him out and getting revenge, that was more Raph's share.
"I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid" Donnie said.
"don't worry Casey's with him" I received three meaningful looks
"fair enough forget what I said"
"guys I think she's waking up" Donnie said, in no time they were by her side. She was stirring, and blinked her eyes a couple of times before realizing again where she was and what had happened.
"oh crap" she sat up immediately, she panicked seeing her brothers by her side. "you called them?"
"well ..."
"... I can't believe it, I trusted you! Guess you're the second person today who's betrayed my trust"
"that's not fair Thanny"
"why aren't you guys saying anything, huh?" she turned to her brothers. "no? Nothing, come on Leo you have got to be burning to lecture me huh? I have screwed up, I endangered our family ... I ..." she broke down again and fell to her knees. I carefully stepped to her side and hugged her.
"It's not your fault this has happened little sister" Leo said as he lowered himself to her level.
"yeah come on Thanny you have every right to be upset right now, just let it all out okay" Donnie followed Leo's lead.
"don't lose hope there is a guy for you out there" Mikey lifted her chin so she had to look them in the eye.
"you think so?"
"well look at it this way, if Casey can get a girl like April there is more then enough hope for you" Mikey joked.
"yeah but Casey's hot" she joked back.
"thank god!" I said, we all had to laugh a little at that. "no seriously that bastard isn't worthy of you, you deserved someone who sees your good qualities"
"and don't you dare to ask, what good qualities because it's a hell of a job to name them all" Mikey said, she giggled a bit.
"thanks for sheering me up guys" she said sweetly.
"no problem" Donnie answered
"can we go home now?" Mikey asked.
"sorry I yelled at you April" Thanny turned around and looked at me.
"it's okay, I understand"
"thank you for helping me"
"it's nothing sweetie, come here" I opened my arms to hug her.
"group hug!!" Mikey yelled and joined us, Leo and Donnie stood there awkwardly and looked at each other with a I'm-so-not-going-to-do-that look.
After the hug they went home, man I just hope Casey and Raph are okay, April don't think about that please!! Yeah right me not being worried about Casey, hell just thinking about what there doing right now going into the lions den searching for dragons. arg I am going crazy!! Just put on the television and watch something don't think about Casey and Raph they're just doing what they're normally doing, heck like that even helps.
