Mistake
Chapter Twelve
When I
opened my eyes I was in a dark room with only one light that was above an
operating table. I walked over to it & almost lost my stomach at what I
saw. It was me with bleached out hair that looked like a pile of hay, I had raccoon
eyes, & I had on a mini skirt that barely covered me. I reached out my hand
to touch the face that was exactly like mine, but it reached out & grabbed
my wrists. Its eyes opened slowly & then she smiled devilishly at me.
" See
something you like Alex?" " Let go of me." As soon as I said that she only held
on tighter." Whats wrong Alex scared of what you've become?" " I'm not you." "
Don't be so confident. Look at yourself." I looked to the side of me to see a
mirror & the reflection was the same as the other me.
" What have
you done to me?" " You look like your elders now Alex." The voice wasn't the
same. I looked back to the operating table to see not me, but my mother. " Like
your elders…like your elders…like your elders." The room started to spin &
I started falling. I tried screaming, but I just kept falling deeper into
nothing & the only thing I saw was my mothers smiling face until there was
nothing, but darkness surrounding me.
My eyes
popped open & sweat was sticking to my forehead from the nightmare I had. I
let out a sigh of relief & then noticed I wasn't behind The Bulls Eye
anymore, but in a hospital room. I didn't die. I was still in this paradise
referred to as life. I tried to sit up, but couldn't because I was being held
down by a large weight. I looked down to see Leo & Raph sleeping with there
heads on my shoulders while Mike hugged me like a teddy bear & almost
squeezing the air out of me. Where was Don? I looked to see him sleeping in the
chair to the left of me while holding my hand up to his cheek. Even after
leaving them they still worried about me.
" So your
finally awake?" I looked to my right to see Casey sleeping in a chair while
April was sitting on his lap. April's eyes were red & puffy from crying.
She looked exhausted. " How long have I been asleep?" " Almost a week & a
half now. We almost didn't think you were gonna make it…damn you Alex. Damn you
for what you put them through. They love you with all their hearts. Mike did
nothing but cry, Don couldn't leave his computer because he wouldn't give up
hope on finding you, Raph wasn't sober half the time you were gone, Leo could
do nothing, but train because he would go crazy if he didn't, & poor
Splinter couldn't even come because he was so upset. What possessed you to do
this Alex?" I didn't need this right now.
" I'm gonna
go get some fresh air April, ill be right back." I stepped out onto the
hospital balconing to see not beautiful Australia, but smog filled New York. I
guess they had me transferred when they found out I wasn't going to… It hurt
too much to say it.
I couldn't
bring myself to cry because I was so emotionally torn so I stared out into
nothing. I was kind of happy I didn't die, but it was the only fit punishment
for making the only people whoever cared about my wellbeing suffer. I then
heard the glass doors open & heard a voice that I had missed so much.
" Alex? My
baby sisters awake?" he was saying it to reassure himself more than talking to
me. He ran over to me & scooped me up into a huge hug & started
cradling me like a baby & squeezing me tight while kissing me all over my
forehead.
" Mike stop
I'm ok." He tried to smile, but started crying into my shoulder & squeezing
me tighter. " Please don't leave us Alex. Please don't leave me. Don't leave
me." He was practically screaming at me. " Shhh I'm not going to leave you
Mikey. I'm not going to leave you or any of the guys ever again." I saw the
glass doors open to reveal Leo, Raph, Don, Casey, & April. Soon we were all
in a bone-crushing hug. I still hadn't told them about my little adventures in
Australia, but that would come in time. At the moment I was just happy to be in
the arms of my family. In the arms of people I loved & who loved me in
return.
