Cori walked in the room. The walls were covered with posters of a variety of bands. Other than that it was fairly clean. "Raph," Cori said quietly. He was lying on his bed, his arms spread out wide as he stared at the ceiling. Cori looked up at the ceiling. It was covered with painted stars. "Go away," Raph said. His voice was different. It didn't have his normal hot-headed self in it. Instead it sounded like someone who had given up on life. Cori stood in her spot for a while.
Raph looked up at her. "You need to clean your ears." Cori smiled. At least he could still make a smart comment. Cori walked over to Raph's bed and sat down. The bed was soft. Raph sat up. His eyes were red from crying. There were water stains in his bandana. "You know, the only reason you're still in here is because I don't believe in hittin' girls," he sniffled. "Karai as an exception," Cori said. She began to wrap the long gash in Raph's leg. "Raph, this may mean absolutely nothing," Cori said, "But I'll be there for you when you need me to. I understand how hard it is to lose a friend."
She looked up at Raph. "And that's why you can always talk to me about Spike." Raph said nothing. "Are you going to say something or are we just going to sit in silence." Raph lay back down. Cori sighed. She continued to wrap his leg. She hummed a song as she worked. "You like Imagine Dragons?" Cori looked around. "I'm sorry, was that you? I didn't realize you were capable of having a conversation with me," she teased. Raph waved his arms in the air. "Yeah, well I'm sorry that I started the conversation too." Raph sat up again.
Cori smirked. "Someone's so happy today. You're as cuddly as a piranha too." Raphael rested his arms on top of his legs. "I'd rather be a snake." "Really? I'd thought you'd say turtle." Raph shrugged. "Well, you know. You can't have everything," he said. Cori jumped off of his bed.
She cocked her head towards the door. "C'mon, your brothers probably want to be with you." Raph slowly got off his bed. He was reluctant to go but eventually he got off his bed. He limped slightly as he walked out of his room. Before they exited Raph turned to Cori. "I don't look like I cried, do I?" Cori laughed. "Yes, it looks like you bawled your eyes out. You're fine." They walked into the living room to find the guys sitting on the couch. They sat next to them and watched a horror movie. They didn't go to bed until 1:00 AM. Cori could only think one thing. TGIF!
