Here With Me
Chapter II: Here With Me
By: Michelle
i didn't hear you leave
i wonder how i am still here
****
Raphael sat in front of the mirror. He wanted her. He wanted to hold her. He wanted his Venus. He just felt he could live without her.
****
i don't want to move a thing
it might change my memory
****
He could not leave the mirror. What if she came out? He had to be there for her. He loved her. He missed he. He wanted to hold her. Why was this hurting so much? How could this happen to him? Venus. Venus. He could say her name, but she would not respond.
****
oh i am what i am
i'll do want i want
****
He was Raphael. He was a mutant. He was a turtle. He did what he wanted, when he wanted and no buts about it. But now, that didn't matter. He was no longer whole. A part of his spirit had left him.
****
but i can't hide
****
Pain filled his heart.
*****
i won't go
i won't sleep
i can't breathe
until you're resting here with me
****
He placed his hands over his face to cover his sobs. He was hurting. Venus was trapped in the mirror and he felt like he could do nothing. Damn the Dragon Lord. He would pay. He would pay. He sobbed harder. "Oh Venus! Come back to me."
****
i won't leave
i can't hide
i cannot be
until you're resting here with me
****
He pulled his hands slowly off his face and looked up towards the ceiling. Tears rolled down his face. He wanted to hold her again. "Venus, I love you." He placed one hand on the still mirror.
****
i don't want to call my friends
they might wake me from this dream
****
"Raph." He could hear her sweet lips say. "I'm alright. I love you. It's gonna be OK."
****
and i can't leave this bed
risk forgetting all that's been
****
He laid down on the floor. His stomach growled for food, but he could not eat. His body yearned for rest, but he could not sleep. He felt his life was not worth living without her.
****
oh i am what i am
i'll do want i want
****
He whispered her name under his sobs. "Venus. I love you."
****
but i can't hide
****
His eyes burned from his tears. His head pounded from the abuse he gave his body. He just didn't know if he could live without her. He knew he could not live without her. She was the best thing he had ever had in his life.
****
i won't go
i won't sleep
i can't breathe
until you're resting here with me
****
He wasn't going to leave the mirror for a moment. He was going to stay here for the rest of his life if he had too. He'll die for her.
****
i won't leave
i can't hide
i cannot be
until you're resting here with me
****
He loved her with all his heart. He wasn't going to loose her.
****
oh i won't go
i won't sleep
i can't breathe
until you're resting here with me
i won't leave
i can't hide
i cannot be
until you're resting here with me
****
He finally realized what she was talking about days before. He didn't realize how much he loved and needed her until now. He hoped she was feeling the same way. He was ready for a commitment. He felt it in his heart. He hope she could feel it. He hoped she felt the same way.
Raphael knew he could never live without her. "I need you here with me, Venus." He closed his eyes for the first time in the last few days and cried himself to sleep.
****
oh i am what i am
i'll do want i want
but i can't hide
i won't go
i won't sleep
i can't breathe
until you're resting here with me
i won't leave
i can't hide
i cannot be
until you're resting here with me
oh i won't go
i won't sleep
i can't breathe
until you're resting here with me
i won't leave
i can't hide
i cannot be
until you're resting here with me

Author's Note:
This fanfic and chapter was named for Dido's song HERE WITH ME. While thinking of a new title to the sequel to To the End of the Shinobis!, I heard this song on the radio. I knew it was the perfect title and a good way to express Raph's feelings for Venus. I hope you think so too.
