This isn't really a chapter it's just
about what the guy's are feeling about Alex leaving & them having memories
of her when she was younger.
Memories
· Setting: The guys had just gotten
home from the airport & are trying to sleep, but they found themselves
thinking about Alex & memories of her. If only they could turn back time.
*
Mike *
Why was she doing this? Did she not
feel loved? How could she not know how much we loved her? I wish I could reach
out to her & hold her like I did when she was younger. When a simple kiss
could make her day worth while.
Flashback
Mike is in the kitchen cooking, but
looks up to see a little Alex crying at the table. " What's wrong shorty? Had a
hard day?" " I hate kindergarten. All the kids said I was weird because I didn't
have a mommy. I said a big rat & four turtles took care of me, but then
they started calling me freak girl." This only made Alex cry harder. Mike
clenched his fists. People could be so mean & uncaring. " Come here, Mikey
will make it all better." Alex crawled up into his lap & Mike gave her a
kiss on the nose. Alex started giggling & Mike smiled back.
End
Flashback
" Alex…. please come back." Mike
couldn't hold it back & started crying & sobbing.
*
Don*
Alex had been so upset &
frustrated all this time, but didn't tell anyone or ask for help. I would have
helped her if it meant this much to her, but instead she went out by herself to
somewhere I cant give her guidance. Just like when she….
Flashback
It was a sunny day & Don had taken
Alex out to play while he caught up on his reading. Alex was flying a kite, but
it had been blown into a small pond & the string was caught up in some
bushes. " Donny my kite's in the water & the string is all messed up." " Go
untangle the string out of the bushes then reel the kite in slowly." " But that
will take to long." " It's the only way you can do it without.." But he was cut
short with a scream. Alex had fallen into the pond & was being held under
by the kite string. Don dove in & pulled her out of the pond. " Alex are
you ok?" " Yeah I guess so. Thanks for saving me." " See that wouldn't have
happened if you had listened to me." " Sorry Donny."
End
Flashback
Who knows what trouble she will get
into without me around. Don put his head into his hands & cried quietly.
*
Raph*
What the hell is wrong with her? She's
flying to somewhere she's never been. She could be scared I mean she hadn't
even gone to a sleepover before. How can I protect her if she is ten thousands
of miles away.
Flashback
" …Raph." Raph opened his eyes to see
Alex sitting at the foot of his bed with a scared expression on her face. "
What's wrong with you Alex? It's way to early .Go back to bed." " But there's a
monster in my room." Raph rolled his eyes & tried not to laugh at her ridiculous
statement. " Then go sleep with Splinter or somethin." " But he's to hairy
& it itches, Mikey rolls over to much, Donny drools, & Leo kicks.
Please Raph." Alex looked so scared. Her eyes were wide with fright & she
was clutching her legs up to her chest. It wasn't that he minded her sleeping
with him it's just that he didn't want the guys to think he was a softy, but
she looked terrified." Alright, but this is between you & me got it?" " Got
it." She climbed into bed & hugged him like he was her lifeline & they
both drifted off to sleep.
End
Flashback
What if another monster was after her?
Who was going to keep her safe? Raph fought the urge to cry, but the tears won
the battle & soon were flowing down his face.
*
Leo*
Alex you're not thinking straight.
What if you never find her? Then what. Do you have any money, clothes, or
shelter? You don't know what you're doing. It's a dangerous world out there.
Flashback
Alex & Leo were walking along a
sidewalk when Alex spotted an ice cream stand. " Leo I want strawberry ice
cream." "Alex we don't have any money with us." " But I want some." " We can
get some at home." " No." She ran down the sidewalk & right to the ice
cream stand. He tried to stop her, but she was already licking her beloved ice
cream. " That will be 2 bucks." " I'm sorry sir we have no money with us."
Without warning the guy behind the cart pulled back his arm & punched Leo
right in the eye." No one takes ice cream from my cart without paying. Have a
nice day." & with that the man walked away. Leo looked down to Alex who now
was on the verge of tears." Did he hurt you Leo." " No I'm fine see, but next
time listen to me about money ok or that could have been you." " Ok Leo."
End
Flashback
I hope you thought this through Alex.
You're too young to know better. Leo shed a few tears, but was too worried to
fully cry. He wasn't holding on to much more though.
*
Splinter*
Splinter was so worried that the guys
had to give him pills to make him sleep so that he would calm down, but his
dreams were even worse than being awake.
Dream
Alex was screaming on the top of her
lungs while two men were tearing away her clothes & slapping her. They
would tell her to be a good little girl & that she should enjoy it. She
would struggle, but he would just hit her harder. Then one of the men started
taking off his clothes & this made Alex scream louder.
End
of Dream
Splinter sat straight up in his bed. "
AAAAAAALLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEXXXXXX." Then he collapsed back onto his bed &
cried.
