Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT. But I do own Kayla, Ryder and any other OC's I may put in this story!

Enjoy!


She was nervous. She had been unpacking and repacking hers and Ryder's clothes into a larger gym bag. Every time she had a second thought about going she would unpack but then she would convince herself that she needed answers and she would start to repack once more.

"Kayla?"

She turned around and saw Mikey standing at her doorway.

"Mikey? I thought you left to go train with your brothers?"

"I already did, have you been doing this since I left" he said and laid on her bed where there was no clothes. She didn't realized she had been doing this for hours. "You never told me why you were packing?" He muttered as he buried his face on her pillows while still looking at her.

"I'm leaving for a few days" she sighed.

He immediately sat up on the edge of the bed. "Wait what? Why? What about Ryder?"

"I been think about what you said...about my family and you're right it wouldn't hurt to try and I need answers"

"You're gonna see your family? And Ryder?"

"Yea...and I'm taking him with me"

"Oh" he frowned. "I'm happy for you"

"You don't sound happy" she smirked. He pulled her into his lap and nuzzled her neck.

"Because I'm going to miss you guys" he sighed.

"We won't be gone long— two weeks max I promise" she wrapped her arms around his neck "Besides we still have our phones"

"I know but it won't be the same as having you next to me" he grumbled and laid back down on her bed taking her with him. She hummed in agreement and took in his musky scent that oddly had a hint of pepperoni pizza to it.

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

"Anything" he whispered.

"Your friend April? Do you think she can take us to the bus station?"

He smiled "I'll call her up"

"You think she'll be ok with it? If she can't, it's cool—"

"Relax, she's been dying to meet you again, so I'm pretty sure she'll say yes. When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow morning?"

He rolled them over so he was on top of her. She turned to the side so she wouldn't have to face him. She felt bad for telling him so late but it was an out of the blue decision and she wanted to get it over with as soon as possible.

"Tomorrow? So soon?" He pouted.

She nodded "The sooner, the better" she smiled weakly at him.

"I guess you're right" he sighed and fell to the side of her. He pulled her to his body and just held her.

"Mikey I need to finish packing" she tried to pull away.

"You can finish packing when you come back from work today, right now you need to catch up on some Z's" he murmured into her shoulder.

She didn't argue with him and nestled herself farther into him. She had to get some sleep before she started work in a couple of hours. Her eyes began to fall shut with his steady breathing.
