Chapter 37 Desciding to Leave
~Xmas count-down 2 days~
"your leaving? what do you MEAN your leaving?" Mikey asked pitch.
"I..I can't stay here, not only have I brought you so much trouble, i MURDERED two people in your home!"
"well, when you say it like that, it sounds bad,"
"and it's not? Look Mikey, i greatly appricate everything you have all done for me, but I brought more trouble than what i'm worth. and Anyway, my life was a lie, it always has been and always will be. it's time I go off on my own and who knows! maybe I'll find out who I really am. and gosh, maybe I'll even find Mr. Right. heh heh, the possiblities are ENDLESS Mikey, I need to find myself. because a Lied to cold-blooded murderer on the run from mad scientists is NOT who I want to be. but for the time being it's who I am." she smiled to herself "For now. That is"
"it doesn't HAVE to be this way Pitch! your perfect the way you are."
"everyone has opinions that they're entitled to, but right now I wanna change how I think about myself. find peace, I have more grief than I let on, buddy." and she walked off to gather her extra weapons that she left in the dojo from previous practices. Mikey walked back into the pitt where his brother's were going about normal business. Leo was first to look up at his sad little brother.
"what's wrong Mikey?" Leo asked, concern shining in his dark blue eyes.
"pitch is leaving." Mikey sat down, not making eye contact with any of his brothers.
"for how long?" Leo asked,
"till she...'finds herself'"
"who knows how long that'll take." Donnie sighed,
"I guess I'll kinda miss that troublsome fur-ball." Raph shrugged.
"Mikey, if Pitch is leaving for...who knows how long. then maybe you should tell her how you feel before she leaves tomorrow." Donnie told his heart-broken little brother "what have you got to lose?" Mikey nodded.
"before she leaves tomorrow. I WILL tell her. no excuses."
