Raphael was slowly breaking from getting nothing from Jas… it was like she had never existed and every single thing connected to her had vanished, it made him worry even more about her. One morning he woke up to find that someone texted him… it was Jas telling him to not worry, she knew it wasn't true what his friends said, she still loves him, she had something to take care and she should be home soon… he sighed in relief at that much and simply kept the text a secret for now, he got ready and left for school as if he never got the text. Student would look at him with worry while others would say they were still trying to find her… Mona-Lisa on the other hand was trying to have him date her.
It had been going for too long and he had enough… he slammed her in a wall making students scream in fear as she looked at him in shock and fear as he growled "I ain't fucking datin' ya eva. Fact is I hate ya an' want ya to fuck in hell" he walked away after that and they all watched him leave her there, the next day she was claiming that Raph had hurt her while she was in tears but after examining her they expelled her from school with no chances of returning after such a lie, he didn't mind really, he only wanted Jasmine back and he would wait for her return no matter how long it took to wait at all… but it still hurt him not knowing where she could be or even how she was doing.
He tried searching for her, during the night he would get on his bike and drive around for a bit in hopes to find her somewhere in the city… but there was nothing and he was beginning to worry for the worse, but each time he would think of death for her he would shake his head and mentally hit himself as he knew it wasn't true, she was alive and well so he would see her soon… he just hoped everything was fine with her more then ever now as he didn't want her hurt or worse… injured so badly it might never heal and make her do things like she would usually do them, he knew it would be a nightmare for her then anything with how much she loves to paint and everything.
A week went by and still nothing from her, then he heard students whispering in the school about Jas… he didn't like that not one bit so he decided to listen in before looking into it… and then he saw her, Jasmine walking with a police officer who was making sure to have written down everything she said to him, Raphael sighed in relief when she noticed him and smiled sweetly towards him as the officer then left… he walked over as she reached him and smiled "Sorry if I worried you, I was going home after what Karai tried to make me believe but I got a call from my arts teacher in Paris… someone was stealing my art and selling it as if they made it so I had to go to court against him" she explained making him smile and nod in understanding.
People stealing someone else's work was the worse, he couldn't count the number of times someone tried to steal his and Casey's work… when it happened they regretted it quickly which made Raph make sure people knew not to mess with a Jones hard work, Jasmine followed Raph to class making students go quiet and walk away making him wonder what was happening but he decided to leave it be and to simply focus on Jasmine and enjoy the school day before they had to go home… her family would have questions for her when they get there of course so it was for the best to enjoy the day with her while at school before they go home "I really don' wanna go home" he mumbled making her giggle at him and his words as they got to there respective bikes "Come on Raph, it will be fine I promise" she said making him nod as they got going.
When they arrive, of course her parents and brother bombarded her with questions for her leaving all of a sudden… Raph simply took there bags and went to there room while he waited for her to get inside, she came in a few minutes later making him smile as she joined him on the bed "Everythin' okay?" he asked making her smile and nod to him as her answer, she looked into her bag to then pull out a few books and then grabbed her laptop making him smile as she then sat on her bed in his lap to work making him smile and lean on her wall to support himself and not himself or her "What paintin's he stole?" he then asked making her turn to him and smile "It was these paintings I made for my arts teacher to show as examples for her next classes… he stole the key to the classroom and stole them… when they found him he was trying to cover up my signature to then put his" she explained making him nod to her answer,
Cover ups, Raph hated them because the thief would do that to claim what they stole as their own, when those things happen… if your not fast enough to get it back before they complete it… you will never be able to get it back if you don't have proof it was yours to begin with "Hate those, fuckers think there so smart in doin' shit like that" he growled making her smile and lean into his hold making him blush in return to the action… he liked it when she did something like that since it meant she likes him, these sweet little moments of them together it simply meant so much to them because nothing could tear them apart no matter who tried to do something like that in the first place.
They began to study and do there homework, it took time but it was quickly done, Raph was now watching Jasmine painting, they were still in her room but she had everything needed to paint in there so there was nothing to worry about it, he noticed a few sketches making him enjoy this and want to look at them before she finished her new painting, he took the binder that had them and began looking them over one after the other, he smiled at some of them as they were bright and filled with joy… while others looked sad and gloomy which told him something bad happened when she drew them and he didn't like that at all.
"Sorry if you saw the darker ones… I was supposed to put them in another binder, those ones were to painted and sent to Paris to be sold" she explained making him nod in understanding as he then put them down so when she was done she could split them up to work on the darker ones later on when she had the time to make them, he was still amazed at all the paint equipment she had in her room… with all this to make such amazing art and professional artist might just cry about it in shame of not being like her… able to make amazing art with little stuff at all in a room they use for certain things in there everyday life, looking at him she then moved to lay on top of him which he found to be very cute as he then held her in his arms.
"We should go on a date" he said making her look at him in slight surprise, she didn't say a thing but look at her calendar before looking back at Raph with a smile and nod making him grin as he then thought about where they could go, there were many places to go at for a date… but for Jasmine would be a bit harder then usual since he hadn't gone on a date with her really so he would need to think it over for a while "Where do you want to go?" she asked as her tail swished from one side to the next making Raph look at her with a smile "Not sur yet, give a week an' I should get somethin' kai?" he asked making her smile and nod to the plan, they then did a few things together before getting some food and then some well needed sleep for the rest of the night.
Morning came for the two families as everyone began getting ready for the day making Jas smile as she watched Raph look at both of there bikes… wondering which to use, His and drive or her's and she drives? It was hard but he did have the time as the other's were still getting ready while Donnie already left for school with Alopex as he had to take her to school making Raph have time to choose "Just pick one!" she groaned as she watched him look at the two bikes and sighed as he picks his making her sigh in relief as she got on and put her helmet on as he started the bike and drove off to school, the two were just happy as they got to school… students watched them but said nothing at all to them… they didn't want to suffer Raphael Jones' wrath right now as school starts for the day.
At one point during lunch hour, Raph looked around for Donatello, he was hopping to find the olive green turtle to get some ideas for a date location to bring Jas at… he was loosing hope to find him until he saw him walking towards the library making him move to follow him "Donnie" he said making the turtle turn to look at him with slight confusion in his eyes "Yes Raphael? Do you need something from me?" he asked making Raph sigh as he explained what happened between him and Jas "I need an' idea fer a date spot for her she'd like. Got any ideas?" he asked making Donnie sigh, he knew his sister was hard to please but still it wouldn't hurt for Raph to at least try figuring something out on his own… right?
"Jasmine, she has a bit of a love for food places but she doesn't have an easy time choosing at new places that she knows nothing about the menu, maybe a nice simple place with good food would be a good idea… or even just buy something from the supermarket and eat at the park would be fine to her" he explained making Raph nod as the Stockman son continued talking "Now she also likes books so going to a book store is also a good idea as she loves reading… a clothing store on the other hand… it would take a little push in order for her to look around and pick something out she would like" he said making Raph nod as he thanked Donnie and then left to find Jasmine to talk about there date and when they would go.
He found quickly walking over to him with her lunch… as Karai looked to be trying to catch up for some reason, he took hold of her hand and walked outside to get out of the school to eat together "I thought diner an' shoppin' would be good" he said making her smile and nod to the idea as she ate her lunch with him doing the same, she wasn't all that into shopping and going out to eat somewhere she didn't know the menu made her uneasy… so she was actually a little worried that something might turn out bad with his date plan because of her… making him want to leave her in the end because of how difficult she was with certain things "Ya ok?" he asked making her look at him "Yeah, just a little nervous for our date… when are we going?" she asked making him think for a moment.
"Saturday? No school and on Sunday we can do our homework?" he suggested making her nod to the plan, it seemed fine to her after all and she was a little excited for there date as she then smiled for the rest of the school day until they headed home as she then began enjoying herself as she watched Raph study and do his homework making her do the same and paint a bit some of the projects she had to make "Ya gonna take long?" she turned to find Raph leaning on the door frame "Dinner's ready" he said making her nod as she stood up and followed him to eat with everyone making them all talk about all kinds of things happening at the moment to each of them as Raph watched Jas who was also talking a bit.
He wondered what she was thinking at the moment with all of this happening to her right now, when dinner was done Jas was flopped on her bed as Raph sat at the edge while watching her "Mona got expelled" he said making her look at him confused "Claimed I hurt her cause I wouldn't date her" he explained making her nod "What else?" she asked making him then talk about what happened between him and Karai and after Leo captured her… making her eyes widen in shock at there actions but she didn't say a thing the whole time and simply looked at him in surprise "I guess… it's something that I would have done if it was the other way around" she said making him smile and nod to her words.
She too would have gone straight to Mona if she had done something to make Raph leave all of a sudden making him hold her close at that moment as she smiled at him while allowing them to stay like this right now… it was a sweet moment to them as they then closed there eyes to relax a bit while wondering "What happens now… with Karai?" she asked making Raph think for a moment "Guess… will ask Leo fer help" he said making her nod "I'll to be given a new locker… I don't feel alright with sharing a locker with her now" she said making him nod as he then thought about Donnie "Think he ain't got anyone in his locker… Nova doesn't too so ya could ask one of them?" he suggested making him smile and nod as the two then drifted to sleep… the week was going to be a long one but to Raph it passed way too fast and he was now in a panic on his and Jasmine's date.
