AN: I do not own TMNT nor the song "I'll Remember You" which belongs to the girl band, No Secrets.
I'll Remember You
Angel was sitting in the living room of the two-bedroom country home she shared with her Gramma. The rosette was supposed to be concentrating on her Algebra homework but she just couldn't concentrate. It had been a year and a half -almost two years, really- since she had last seen the turtles and been in New York. The 15-year-old sighed as she thought back to the fun times she had with the turtles. The guys popping in to say 'hi' and hang out when Ryan was out with some girl and Gramma was sleeping. Even if it was just Donnie popping in to be Doctor when she was sick or helping her with her Math homework when she didn't understand an equation, it was fun.
It has been so long since we have talked
I hope that things are still the same
Hoping they will never change
Cause what we had can't be replaced
Don't let our memories fade away
Keep me in your heart for always
Whenever Angel had a bad day, Raph was there to pick her up and teach her some proper fighting moves. Or Leo would attempt to teach her meditation. Like I said attempt...it never ended well since Angel was more of an action girl rushing head-first into something rather than think it over. Not to mention that she always managed to somehow fall asleep when trying to meditate with him. Every. Single. Freaking. Time! When the rosette was simply down in the dumps and didn't want to talk, they would sic Mikey on her who would talk with her. He wouldn't always tell a joke but he would talk about anything and everything. Soon enough the two became close. Very close.
You made me believe
That I can do almost anything
Stood right by me
Through the tears through everything
Angel never realized how close the turtles had wormed their way into her heart, right past her walls, until after she had left. The rosette-haired teenager was surprised by how large a piece of her heart was missing. The teenager closed her eyes and squeezed her right hand over her heart. It hurt to think of them now but it would get better someday.
I'll remember you,
And baby that's forever true
You're the one that I'll always miss
Never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
No matter what you're goin' through
In my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you
Angel knew that they were very close friends of hers, family really, and she didn't want to lose them. She feared that when she ever returned back to New York, because it was inevitable when she turned 18 that she would return to the city that she knew and loved, they would turn their backs on her. Or worst yet, not remember her. It was a nightmare that was based on 'what if' scenarios that ran through her mind constantly.
I promise you I won't forget the times we shared, the tears we cried
You'll always be the sun in my sky
It may be fate that brings us back to meet again someday
Even though we go seprate ways
Angel knew that wasn't possible though. The teenager may grow up -hell she was going through a growth spurt now!- but that doesn't mean that they'll forget her! The teenager knew that she could always count on the turtles to be there for her and she knew that without a doubt in her mind that she was going to see them again. There was no way that they could forget her! They taught the girl that there was more to life than being pissed off at her brother all the time. They taught her to think smart, how to protect herself, live life to the fullest, and if she had to go down bring someone down with her and with style.
Let's face it. She misses her second family but there isn't anything that she can do to go back to them now. Gramma is strangely adamant about them staying down in Florida. Whenever Angel asks her why they can't go back, her Gramma gets a strange glazed look in her eyes almost as if she was seeing something that Angel couldn't see before telling her that Florida is the safest place for them. Like she said, she couldn't do much. Gramma was old and sometimes forgot things and so Angel had to stay with her until she agreed to going back to New York. It was all she can do until she's legal age, at least.
You made me believe
That I can do almost anything
You stood right by me
Through the tears through everything
I'll remember you,
And baby that's forever true
You're the one that I'll always miss
Never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
No matter what your goin' through
In my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you
