Visitor had so many ideas! I decided to do this one first! Billiepage also wanted a fic based mainly around Mikey! Compromise!

Mikey tells April about what happened when she fell out with them and how it affected the family.

Rated K+ Genre: Hurt/Comfort/Friendship

Don't Leave Us Again

April smiled as she wished her friends goodnight. They had all been hanging out in the lair and filing her in on everything she had missed, it was nice to see them all so happy to be with her.

Donnie in particular couldn't seem to stop smiling.

The four brothers had just went off to bed and she was collecting up her stuff so she could go home and do the same thing.

''April'' April looked round to see Michelangelo standing behind her.

''Hey Mikey'' She smiled. ''I thought you guys were off to bed?''

''We weren't completely honest with you when we were telling you our stories'' Mikey was unusually serious, ''I don't think you completely understood''

''Understood what?'' April asked worriedly as Mikey came closer to her.

''Sit'' He nodded as he sat himself. She did what she was told.

''Seriously'' April frowned, ''What's wrong?''

''April… the guys would kill me…'' Mikey shook his head before meeting April's eyes. ''When you left… we changed''

''Aww thanks Mikey'' April chuckled. ''But I don't think-''

''No.'' Mikey bowed his head. ''We changed… You hurt us and you hurt Donnie''

April frowned at the crack in Mike's voice.

''We all fought more and there was a lot of tension'' Mikey continued. ''Donnie felt super guilty and he started to act a li'l like Raph, we tried to help him but he couldn't stop blaming himself. He shouted at us a lot and kinda isolated himself''

April watched Mikey as he sighed. She couldn't believe this childish boy could act so mature.

''He didn't even talk to me for a while… until I found him crying in the lab. He admitted that he didn't blame me, he couldn't. I was only being honest and it would've been wrong to pretend we had nothing to do with it.'' Mikey lifted his head and looked at April again. ''But you hurt him. You haven't even really apologised for it''

''I said I was sorry to all of you, I wasn't going to single anyone out'' April frowned in slight offence, it wasn't her fault Donnie took it all so personally.

She did feel bad though, she shouldn't have blamed them. It's not like they mutated her father on purpose.

''You hurt him the worst so you should say sorry'' Mikey demanded. ''You know he cares about you''

''I know'' April sighed guiltily. ''I'll apologise to him in the morning, let him know how sorry I am''

''Good'' Mikey nodded with a small smile. ''That means I can stop being all serious, I don't know how Leo does it!''

April laughed as Mikey sprung up.

''It's nice to have you back April'' Mikey waved as he headed to his room. April chuckled softly and stood up.

''He's right'' April jumped and turned to face the two eldest brothers.

''Where did you two come from?'' April demanded. ''Did everyone lie to me about going to bed?''

Leo and Raph looked at each other before facing April again.

''We're serious'' Leo sighed. ''We're not gonna lecture you like Mikey did''

''Wow'' Raph shook his head. ''This is so messed up… Mikey caught some bad habits offa you bro''

Leo smiled a little.

''I'd rather he learnt from me than you''

''Anyway'' Raph straightened up. ''We're just warnin' ya. Don't hurt our brothers again, especially Donnie.''

''You didn't see him April'' Leo shook his head. ''He was a real danger to himself''

''Guys'' April sighed. ''You're putting a lot of pressure on me. I don't want to hurt him, I really don't but… I don't love him the way he loves me, he's like a brother to me and I don't know how that won't hurt him''

The two eldest brothers seemed a little shocked but shook themselves out of their stupor.

''Show him. Do it in small ways until he gets the message and we will do the same.'' Leo replied softly. ''Besides… he was never going to tell you''

''Really?'' April looked unconvinced, ''How can you know that?''

''He told us'' Raphael replied, he nodded his goodnight to hs brother and friend before going to bed.

''He just wants what's best for you and we, as older brothers, want what's best for him'' Leo shrugged, ''Goodnight April, have a safe journey home''

April watched Leo leave before turning to the exit, she smiled at how protective the turtles were of each other.

She vowed to never hurt them and to never leave them again.

They were her family.

Please Review! I forgot how fun these were to do!
