Not A Pet!
Raph was about to just go into his room when he heard a noise come from Jade's room across from his. He walked over and tapped on the door before sliding it open and poking his head inside. "Hey kid, you ok?"
"I'm not a kid." She mumbled into her pillow.
"You know ya could suffocate yourself like that." He came all the way in and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"I'll remember that."
"Hey what's wrong?"
"I'm not a pet!" she yelled finally sitting up and comeing inches from his face. "You all just sat out there and disscused me and my business as though I couldn't possible accidently over hear you! Then you proceed to start deciding who's responsibilty I should be! You all just decided what I was going to do without asking me what I want to do, where I want to be! I'm not some lost and lonely kitten who you can just do whatever you want with! How dare you all make my decisions for me! You are just like the Angels!" With that she flopped back down on the bed and once again burried her face into the pillow.
Raph let out a slow whistle. "Wow. That was some temper! I'm kind of proud." When he didn't get a response he said "I didn't mean to make it sound like you didn't have a choice. You can always leave it you want to.
"No I can't"
"And why is that?" Raph asked, begining to get annoyed with the pillow.
"Cause, I don't have no where else to go."
"Any. You don't have anywhere else to go." Raph automatcally corrected. Maybe this wouldn't be so hard after all. " And will you please talk to me and not the pillow?"
"I like the pillow more right now."
Raph reached over and snatched to pillow out from under her. "I only ask nicely once." He informed her.
She picked her head up off the blanket and glared at him. She then used her foot to puse him off the edge of the bed and yanked to pillow back from him in on motion.
She flopped back down as Raph stood up and glared at her. "That was not nice. Now at least roll over so I can talk to you." When she still didn't move he let out a sigh. "Ok look, I'm sorry about what you overheard, we should have included you in the conversation. I'm sorry, now will you please roll over!" Raph was holding his temper be threads. He really didn't want to blow it, if for no other reason than just to prove Venus wrong.
Jade rolled ober and looked up at him. "I'm sorry I said you were as bad as the Angels." She suddenly jumped to a kneeling position on the bed and wrapped her armes around him in a hug. Raph froze for a moment, not sure how to respond, and then wrapped his arms around her, and hugged her back. "I didn't mean it! I swear! Please don't hate me for it!" She sobbed into his shoulder.
"Whoa, whoa! Lets get something straight right now ok?" He pulled her back so he could look her in the eyes. " No on here is going to hate you because you loose your temper and say something you don't mean. If you apologize for it later than everything is ok. Why would you think that?" He asked frowning at the tears that started falling again.
"Because it would be just punisment."
Raph gritted his teeth, that had to change. "Look, that's gotta stop. No one here is ever going to punish you by hurting you like that. You might hve to train harder, or clean up or be grounded, but we aren't going to ever punish you like they did. Understand? I don't ever want you to think that again."
"I understand." She said hugging him again and laying down. "I'm tired now. I'm going to sleep." Raph pulled her shoes off her feet and set them next to the bed, he'd tell her in the morning that she should take them off before going to bed. He pulled the blanket over her, and was about to walk out with she said "Thank you. For everything. I really don't want to leave here, even if I have nowhere else to go."
Raph smiled as he closed the door behind him. He nearly jumped out of his shell when ha felt a hand on him arm. " I'm proud of you my son. You handled that very well. Splinter turned and walked to his room.
Raph just shrugged, this was one day that he wasn't going to forget anytime soon. Somehow knowing that Jade had wanted to stay with them had made that soft spot even more tender towards her. He was loosing his touch. He had better becarful or the guys would notice.
*Ta-da! Only one more chapter then you get to meet my other main new character. Lol. I know this one is short but my hand is starting to cramp so blah. As usual all I own is Jade my story line and my other characters! ~Hugs~*
