Wasted

"Strong souls need strong drinks."

Day 2. 8:00 AM.

An alarm started ringing. Raph opened his eyes slowly and quickly closed them. He couldn't stand the light that entered through the window. Suddenly, he felt a strong migraine. His body sent a wave of pain to his brain every time that the alarm rang. He grabbed his head with both hands and his eyes closed. He just wanted it to stop. The sound caused him pain and that made him angry.

"Ah, could someone turn off the freaking alarm?" He yelled with anger.

He had no response. Finally, the alarm went off. He felt a small relief, but his head still felt like if it was going to explode. He opened his eyes once more. He couldn't see the light without feeling any pain in his head.

He stayed lying down on his bed. He didn't want to get up. He felt thirsty. Really thirsty. He stayed like that for a few minutes, when he heard someone strongly knocking his door.

"Raph! Get up! We still need to have breakfast and you have 40 minutes to be ready to go!"

"Fuck off Leo…" He responded.

That was it for Leo. He opened the door without any permission from his brother and stepped into the room.

"I said, get up. Those people already hate you. Help yourself a little bit and be ready when they ask you to if you don't want them to hurt you."

"Those people can lick my ass and so can you! I'm not feeling well! Now close the door and let me sleep!"

"You're not feeling well because yesterday you drank who knows how much bottles of Vodka and now, thanks to you and your magic water, Mikey is feeling as wasted as you!"

"Mikey took his own decisions! I wasn't pointing a gun to his head!"

"Get the hell up and take a shower! You reek!" Leo shouted as he closed his brother's door.

Maybe a shower would help. He was not feeling well. As he stood up, he felt it. He wanted to puke. He wanted to puke really bad. He covered his mouth and ran to the bathroom as quick as he could, he locked the door and as soon as his hands touched the toilet, he let it all out. After a couple of minutes, he was finally done. He sighted as he stood up once again, feeling a lot better now, but still wasted. That's when he saw the bathroom. It was huge.

Raph took a quick shower. He wanted to get to the kitchen and drink some water. He dried himself off and walked downstairs. He saw the living room. It was really a mess. Good thing that the maids would fix that up. He saw his brothers sitting up at the big crystal table, eating Corn Flakes. Mikey looked terrible. He had a glass of water too. His first time being wasted.

Raph didn't even looked at them. He walked straight into the kitchen. He grabbed a glass and filled it with water. He drank the whole thing and went back for more. After six glasses of water, he found the last pack of Pop Tarts. He decided to eat them. That would be his healthy breakfast. After he ate that, he was still hungry. He opened the fridge to look for more food. He found an apple. That was good enough. He ate the apple at the kitchen. He didn't want to eat with his brothers. They would just lecture him about last night.

When Raph was halfway his apple, he heard the door of the apartment opening. He heard voices.

"Good morning turtles. Time for your two-hour workout." That was Sophie's voice.

What the hell was he going to do to get the workout done?

"Where's your brother?" She asked again.

"He's at the kitchen." Donnie replied.

Suddenly, the kitchen's door was opened. It was indeed Sophie.

"Good morning Raphael." She said with a smile.

"Hey." Was his only answer.

"Listen, I need you to come with me while they get your brothers in handcuffs."

"Why?" He asked. That was not a good sign.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you on the way."

Raph finished his apple and did what Sophie said. That was probably about Alvin. He had a bad feeling about that, but for now, he decided to play it cool. He had no energy to fight. He got out of the kitchen to find a bodyguard with handcuffs.

"Alright, let's go. You'll meet with your brothers at the gym." Sophie spoke once that Raph was in handcuffs.

His brothers looked worried at him. Raph, once more, didn't even looked at them. He just walked by, ignoring them.

Raph started walking with Sophie and one guard through the only hallway outside of their apartment. Finally they arrived to the elevator and the guard pressed the button for floor 8.

"So, what's all of this about?" Raph asked curious.

"Oh, it's basically nothing. We just founded a lack of sodium in your blood, but don't worry. I'll take you to Dr. Collins. He'll explain the situation and he'll tell you how to solve the problem."

Raph didn't replied a thing. Lack of sodium? That was definitely weird.

They finally arrived to Dr. Collins. The bodyguard stayed outside.

"Tell me if you need any help with the turtle." He told Sophie, before Raph and she entered. She just nodded.

They walked inside. Sophie closed the door behind them. Dr. Collins stood up from his desk to say hello.

"Good morning Sophie. How are you doing?"

"Very well Dr. Collins."

"Raphael, how are you doing today?"

"What do you care." He replied. His head was still aching. He didn't want to hear him talk.

"Well, I'm your personal doctor, so I do care, but anyway, you are here because of the lack of sodium in your blood. You don't have to worry about that. I'll just prescribe you some sodium capsules for you to drink every morning and you'll be just fine."

"Uh… I'm not really sure that I need them. I feel perfectly fine."

"Well yes because for now the lack of sodium is really small, but in a few days, it will grow if you don't start to take the correct medication." Dr. Collins responded, handing Raph a blue pill and a glass of water.

"I don't think so… Listen, thanks for worrying, but I feel perfectly fine by now. I think I'll pass, but I'll let you know if I start feeling weird."

"Oh, I'm sorry but I'm afraid that we can't take that chances. You'll be exercising yourself and you'll have the doctors performing tests on you. You really need to stay healthy, so please, take the pill."

"I said no. I'm not taking that." Raph spoke up.

"Look Raphael, we really need you to take it and if you don't take it by your own, we'll make you do it and believe me, you won't like it, so please, take it… It will help with your headache."

"How do you know about…?"

"I'm a doctor. I know how to recognize that kind of things in my patients."

Raph didn't replied. He thought about it. Maybe they were saying the truth. Maybe he was really lacking sodium. Besides, what harm could do some extra sodium?

"Give me that." He told Dr. Collins, who handed him the glass of water and the pill.

Raph stared at it for a second before putting it on his mouth. It was just a normal pill. Then, he drank it.

"Good job. The maids will take these pills to your room so that you can take one of them each morning alright?"

Raph just nodded.

"Great, now let's go to meet your brothers at the gym. Thanks Dr. Collins."

With that said, they exited the room. The bodyguard started following them again.

Neither Raph nor Sophie said a thing on their way to the gym. Raph couldn't stop wondering about what he had just drank. What was it? Maybe he was just thinking about it too much. Maybe they were telling the truth. After all, they needed him to do whatever they wanted to do.

Finally, they arrived to the gym, which was on floor 7. It was really big. All of the walls were white, again. It had all kinds of things to exercise that they hadn't even touched on their lives.

Sophie and Raph walked to where his brothers were. They were standing in front of what seemed to be the coach, which was a dark-skinned guy, he was bald-headed and dressed in sports clothing.

"Hello Sophie. So I guess he's the fourth turtle."

"Good morning Bastian. He's Raphael, Raphael, he's Bastian."

"Yes, I heard it the first time that you said his name." Raph replied.

"Raphael, your brothers and I were waiting for you to start with the training. I'm going to be your coach."

"Great, so I'll leave you to it Bastian. I'll pick up the boys at 11 o'clock. Have fun." Sophie said as she exited the gym, leaving the turtles and Bastian alone with four bodyguards if it happened to need them.

"Alright turtles, follow me."

The turtles followed orders. None of them said anything. Mikey, Donnie and Leo looked worried at Raph, who decided to ignore them for the third time that morning. Mikey was still feeling as wasted as Raph was.

They arrived to what seemed to be a running circuit inside the gym.

"First of all, start walking around the circuit. Start now, your brother already took some time away from us."

Raph was about to insult the coach, but he was really not feeling like it. He was tired and still had a terrible headache.

The turtles did as told. Minutes passed. None of them said a word. Mikey and Raph were definitely not feeling well and Donnie and Leo knew that it wasn't a good time to ask Raph about what had happened with Sophie.

After ten minutes of walking in circles, coach Bastian, who was standing up next to the circuit, spoke up.

"Start running now!"

"What if I don't?" Raph asked.

"You don't seem to be feeling well so believe me when I say that you're not going to like the punishment."

"Just obey Raph." Leo murmured, as he started to run.

Raph felt the anger growing up inside of him, but he did. The last he wanted was to waste energy.

"You're going to run for 30 minutes. If someone stops, then you run for five minutes more and so." Coach Bastian ordered.

"Thirty minutes?!" Mikey exclaimed. "Ow, man! I'm really not feeling well right now."

He didn't seem well. He was still pale. They were used to run more than thirty minutes, but not feeling that way.

"Come on Mikey, you can do it, just don't stop so that this psycho won't make us run for more time." Donnie said in a low voice.

"How long will I feel like this!? It's not cool!" Mikey yelled.

"I don't know, but you can ask Raph now that we know that it's not the first time that he drinks all night long." Leo teased.

"Indeed Leo, this isn't my first time and I don't care what you guys think of that, because it's the best thing someone can do when they have a brother like you Leo! Now I know that not even drunk I can stand being with you!"

"You can talk all you want turtles, but I recommend you to stop and to keep your energy, because this is just the start of your workout." Coach Bastian talked.

They decided to stop. He was right.

After what was an eternity to the turtles, most specifically, Mikey and Raph, the thirty minutes ended. When the coach said that they could stop, it was such a relief to them. They stood on the circuit for a moment, gaining their breath and their strengths, when the coach asked them to follow him once more. He took them to the part of the gym that was filled with machines to train.

"Well, this is a completely free hour for you. I was going to give you routines to work out, but I was ordered not to."

"Oh, thank God…" Donnie murmured.

"I assume that you had never been to a gym before, but each machine has little drawings that will show you how to use it. If you have any doubts, ask me and don't try to figure it out by your own. If I see that you are not working out, you're not going to like the consequences, now go to exercise."

The turtles did. They had many things to try. They had machines of all kinds, they had a room that seemed to be like a dancing classroom, they had punching bags and many other things.

Donnie and Mikey decided to go and try the machines, while Raph went straight to the punching bag. Leo followed him. He wanted to know what had happened with Sophie.

"Oh, come on Leo! Find somewhere else to go! This is a big place!" Raph said as he started punching the bag. He was pale.

"Hey, I just want to know what happened with Sophie. We were worried about you." Leo responded, picking another bag to punch.

"Well, as you can see, I'm fine."

"You don't seem to be. You're pale. You seem weak."

"That's because, as you said, I lost count of the bottles of Vodka I drank yesterday."

"What happened with her Raph?"

"Not of your damn business. Go away. Mikey needs your support more than I do."

Leo was about to respond, but he didn't. Raph was right, plus he didn't seem to want to tell them. Leo left, leaving him alone.

The hour passed. Mikey, Leo and Donnie spend it trying new exercise machines, while Raph just decided to stay at the punching bag. The last twenty minutes were divided in half. Ten of them were running again and the other ten were walking and cooling off.

When they were done, Sophie was already there, waiting them to follow the day.

"I see that you did well with the exercise. Now, let's start the tests." She said as the bodyguards started getting them in handcuffs once more.
