Play Date pt. 1

Later that day...

~Raph's POV~

"Hey Donnie, where did you and Mikey go yesterday?" I asked, as Donnie came and sat next to me with a sandwich in his hand.

He took a bite, "April called us. Said she needed help with something at Lilly's place." He wiped his mouth before swallowing. "I'm surprised that you didn't hear or see me when I came back to get some stuff."

I shook my head, "No, I mean I saw you leave. I just thought you were doing something else."

"No, Lilly did something to her hand so I went to patch her up."

Hmm... Why am I so curious? I honestly don't care, but I still wanna know. "What happened?"

He shrugged, "She told Mikey not me. April told me some of it but not all the details."

"Mikey?" I said kind of shocked. "So she likes Mikey?"

"They have chemistry. Like brother and sister. It's cute." Donnie smiled.

I looked over at Mikey when he came out of the kitchen with a piece of cold pizza in his hands. "Hey Mike, what happened yesterday?"

He froze, yet he continued to eat his pizza. "What do you mean?"

"With Lilly? What did she tell you?" I said with a smirk on my face. Mike's reaction was kind of funny.

He came over to us and shrugged. "I can't say."

"Why?" Donnie and I both said at the same time. I could tell he was just as curious as I was.

"Lilly said not to make a big deal of it. And as her best friend, I will do what she says." He said with a huff and a nod.

I sighed, "I didn't wanna have to do this." I said, standing up from the couch. "But it looks like I am going to do it anyways."

"You wouldn't." Mikey snarled, narrowing his eyes.

"Wouldn't he?" Donnie chuckled.

I went over to the kitchen, walking as slow as possible so that Mikey could see what I was about to do. "Mikey... Your pizza is going down the drain if you don't tell me." I wasn't really going to put his pizza down the garbage disposal, he would never talked to me if I ever did it. I just wanted to see how far he would take this torture.

He stood, "Raph, don't play like that."

I laughed, "You think I'm playing." I get over to the counter and find the pizza box, lifting the top open. "Oh, and it's warm and fresh..." I grab a piece. "Smells good."

Mikey ran over to me whining, "Stop it! Raph, stop... Stop. Stop! Put it back!" Mikey attempted to grab the piece in my hand but I held it above his head. "Okay! Fine! I'll tell you! Just give me back my piece."

"You have one in your hand right now."

"Yeah, but not my other hand, duh. Give me!" He snatched the piece out of my hand and began to eat it. And the other one in his other hand.

I rolled my eyes. Mikey never changes.

"Lilly had a fight with her mom's boyfriend." He said with a mouth full.

"Really? How bad?"

"He didn't do anything to her. He just yelled at her. But he did hit her mom, which is why she was really mad and punched a wall." He muffled out. "She's okay now though. That's what matters."

"She punched the wall? Why would she do something stupid like hurt herself?" I asked.

Mikey shrugged, taking two bites and finishing one pizza. "Don't you punch walls?"

I blinked, "Shut up."

"Michelangelo," We both looked to fine Master Spilnter standing behind him. He had a strange face on, something that said he was...disappointed with something. "It seems that you have come greatly acquainted with this young girl that I have heard only so much about."

Mikey smiled, "You'd love her Sensei. She's amazing!"

"What is this you say about her father...hitting her mother?" He asked, stroking his beard.

Mikey finished his other piece of pizza. "Yeah, well he's not really her father."

I rolled my eyes, "She's made that extremely clear with us Sensei." I walk past both of them and head towards the sofa again. I finally know what I wanted to know, I have no use to torture Mikey.

At least, not now.

"Poor girl..." He sighed.

"Um, sensei?" Donnie stood for his seat. "I think April has already asked if Lillian could come down to our place, here. All we need is an 'okay' from you."

Mikey jumped, "Please sensei! Can she come? You can finally meet her! She's really nice...and kinda shy."

"Hmmm... We will see. Until then, try to find out more about her. I'm not sure if we can trust her when I have not met her. Though, I can't meet her if she doesn't not come here."

"She's told me a lot about herself master." Donnie walked over to him. "Her real father is dead, sadly. She has good grades. Ran in with the wrong crowd before but has made pass that. Her mother's not really the greatest role model in the world. And she doesn't necessarily have a lot of friends, except for April of course. It would be awfully nice to accept her into our home."

"But can we trust her, is the question." Master informs. "We should always take precaution of the people we meet, Donatello. Who knows who they are with or what they can do to us."

I laughed, "Lillian? Trust me there's nothing she can do that can ever hurt any of us."

"You are so sure."

"Well, yeah. Once you meet her you'll understand. She's just a regular teenage girl with a regular teenage life. Nothing weird or abnormal about it."

Master Splinter nodded, "Very well. I would like to meet her whenever she can. On one condition." He held up his finger and pointed at all of us. "If she in fact, does betray us in anyway, it will be your responsibility to deal with her. Understood?"

"Hai Sensei." Donnie nodded.

"Yeah, I guess." I said with a shrug. I don't think that Lilly is capable of doing anything to hurt us or whatever. I mean, what gang would she be in. The Jets? Maybe, that way she could kill people and dance at the same time. I snickered at the thought.

Mikey jumped, "Yes! Finally! Lets go get her."

Donnie looked at his T-phone. "Well, I think school is out. By the time we get to her place it will be."

I groan, "Do we have to go now?"

"You don't have to go. Mikey and I can go like last time."

"What if I wanna go?"

"Then go, blockhead. Make up your mind."

I stood, "Who you calling blockhead, geek?"

"Guys, not now. Let's go!" Mikey whined.

"Wait, what about Leo?" I asked. Heaven help us if we leave him here and go off without him. He thinks we always need to be lead. That we're all dumb and we need to be taught at every second of everyday. It pisses me off sometimes.

"He is meditating. Shall I get him?" Sensei asked.

"No! Um... Let him..." I said way too quickly. "Just tell him where we are. He's not going to get mad at you if you tell him."

Sensei nodded, "Well then, bring her here. I will be waiting."

~Lilly's POV~

I wish I could dance like Beyoncé...

I wish I looked like her...

Fuck, I wish I was her! She's so amazing...

It's a sudden and random thought, but as I try to dance like her around the house, I just get frustrated thinking that I'm as stiff as a stick. And because I'm not her...and never will be... Fuck.

Right when a good part comes, my MP3 shuts off. I stopped dancing and groaned, taking it out of my pocket. "Ugh! You piece of shit! What the hell is your problem!?"

I take my ear phones out and wrapped them around the stupid thing. "I need to get a job. Buy a better you."

I walked over to the tv and turned it on, the volume of the small speakers seemed to fill up the empty house.

My mother was gone. She got a call from one of her friends and went to hang out with her apparently. She didn't tell me too much, but then again I barely answered. I am still insanely pissed at her for staying with that creep. After all he's done, all he's said about my dad, how could she still look at him the same way.

I will never understand. Maybe it's fear of what he'd do to me or her. Maybe it's fear of being alone. But if it was of being alone, that'd make no sense because I'm right here! I'm her daughter, she shouldn't have to feel alone. That's my mom and even through all the crap we've gone through, that's all we'll ever be. Mother and daughter. I love her. How could I not?

I finally found a channel and sat down in front of the TV. "Teen Titans Go? Not the same but okay."

I sat back and just watched the show. I thought about what April and Irma were doing. Were they talking about me, doing homework at lunch, or just hanging out. I didn't know what time it was but I knew they were either in 5th or 6th period. And if she was out than April might be coming over.

I yawn. Maybe I should take a nap, nothing interesting is happening, so maybe I'lll take a nap or eat something. I don't know, I was kind of bored.

Suddenly the door opened and guess who comes in walking like he's been drunk all night...

Yeah, dickhole...

I hear him cough as if he wanted to get my attention but I continue to watch Beast Boy hit on Raven because of her legs. This episode was funny.

"Lillian." I hear him grumble.

"What?"

"Is your mom home?"

"No she left to hang with Christine. Why? You need to monitor her every freaking move now?" I growl.

I hear him shuffle. "I get that you're mad."

I scoffed. I wasn't pissed. What level or angry is where you wanna kill someone? I was at that level.

"I messed up okay? I just don't like your mom thinking about other guys." He sighed. "I just love her a lot."

I stood, "Love? You don't know the definition." I turned off the TV. "Next time you put your hands on my mom, I'll make sure you feel the way she felt. And trust me, I maybe small, but I can pack a punch." I said walking towards my room.

He suddenly grabbed my wrist, "Wait..."

I snatched my hand out of his grip, "Don't touch me."

"Look, when you're in love you'll understand. If your boyfriend beats you and begged for another chance, wouldn't you give him that chance? I know you would..." He whined pathetically.

"No I wouldn't..." I huffed, starting for my room. "And I didn't."

When I entered my room, I slammed it shut and slid to the floor, my back against the door.

I was tired, even though I napped. I was hungry, even though I ate a lot. I wanted to sleep some more and eat some more. I wanted to block out everyone from my life for just a few hours, maybe days... I wanted to be alone, even though I hated being alone! Sometimes... I just want it to all go away. There's no other way of saying it.

"Lilly!"

I jumped, "Jesus Christ...who is that?" I yelped in fear and annoyance.

I was pulled up and hugged, "Only the best turtle in the whole universe!"

He was squeezing me so tight that I couldn't go wrap my arms around him to return the hug. I could barely breathe. "Oh...hi Mikey." My voice raspy from the lack of breath.

He let go, finally letting the air enter my lungs. "We're here to ask you if you wanna come over our place. Do ya?"

"You guys have a place?" I asked, my breath heavy.

"Where did you think we lived?" The charming one asked, giving me one of those 'I'm judging you' faces. I hate those faces.

"I don't know, with April. I guess..." I said shyly, rubbing my arm.

"I wish..." Donnie said softly. Oh my gosh...does he...? Nah...

"So, do you wanna come over and meet our master?" Mikey asked, his blue eyes wide with excitement.

"Um...I don't have any make up on though... I haven't brushed my hair...I haven't gone to school. I just stayed home alone all day. You want me to go like this?" I asked.

"Why not? There's nothing wrong with a natural Lilly."

I smiled at his comment, "Well, as long as you got food."

"When do we not is the question." Donnie chuckled. "How's the hand?"

"Hurting...I iced it for about an hour or so. It's still pulsing like a bitch." I say. My eyes soon widen in shock. "Sorry...I shouldn't talk like that."

"We don't care. April does it all the time." The red one said. I forgot his name...oops.

I sighed, "Let me get my MP3 player then. I gotta practice a little if you don't mind."

"No. You gotta teach me that dance." Mikey laughed.

I gave him a smile, then turned and left the room. When I entered the main room, John was watching TV looking all depressed and sad. Poor baby... Ha! I could care less! I grabbed my MP3 player from where I threw it and started for my room.

The front door opened and immediately turned knowing that my mom was home. She had sun glasses on and a couple of bags in her hands. I stared at John as he rose to his feet.

"Aniya..." He whispered.

My mom took off her glasses, her eye was now shut, it looked ugly. It was a mixture of green and purple... It made me feel pain.

"Look at me, John. Look at me. Is this what you want me to look like?" She said firmly. "I had to hide from everyone today. Even my own sister, because of you."

"Aniya I-"

"I will not just sit here and take this anymore."

"But you are..." I whispered.

I knew my mom heard me but she acted as if I said nothing and began to walk towards him. "You put your hands on me one more time and I'm calling the police."

"One more ti- You're staying with him!?" I yelled.

"Lilly, please..." My mom began. "It's none of your business."

"None of my business? Mom, you're my mom! How is that not my business when I have to come home and find bruises all over your body!"

"Lilly, listen to your mother." John said sternly.

"Oh shut the fuck up John."

"Hey! Go to your room young lady! NOW!" My mother yelled.

"You're punishing me!" I threw my hands in the air. "Oh my god, mother!" My hands ran through my hair shock. "You guys are fucking crazy..."

"I said go to your room." My mom snarled.

"Fine, but when he hits you again, and he will hit you again, DO NOT come crying to me. I've lost all sympathy for you mom. You're picking him over me. You're just as stupid as he is."

I turned and noticed that my door was open and a pair of blue eyes were peaking out with a worried look. I sighed and continued walking towards my room.

Once I entered, all eyes were on me.

"Heh...sorry guys. My mom was just-"

"It's okay Lilly, we get it." Mikey said, grabbing my hand.

I smiled, "Thank you Mikey." I slid my hands out of his and clapped. "Well, it's what...two thirty. Shall we get moving?"

~Raph's POV~

She left to go get her MP3 player or whatever. Mikey could not stop jumping, I mean I had to slap his head so that he'd shut up. It was getting annoying.

"You're acting like its the first time you've see. her Mikey. Calm down." I grumbled.

He rubbed his head, "Well, it's the first time we brought a girl back home and it's not April. I'm allowed to be happy."

"You guys think April will be excited to see her?" Donnie asked. "She's been wanting this to happen for some time."

I shrugged, "I'm just happy there'll be someone else that'll maybe make this more exciting." Wow, that sounded lame for some reason. Yeah, I was bored and I guess I wanted her to I don't know, put life into our home. I mean, it's boring and April doesn't have to bother us with questions anymore on 'When can Lilly come down?' 'Can she come down?' 'All I need is a date. When can she come?' It was starting to get on my nerves.

"Hey guys, do you hear that?" Mikey said hushly.

We all quieted down to hear what Mikey was talking about. Through the wall, we heard yelling. It sounded like Lilly was yelling at someone.

Mikey went over to the door and opened it slightly. We heard Lilly yelling at her mom I think...

I have to admit I was curious to, but for some reason something told me that I shouldn't intervene. Something told me I should mind my business unless it escalated into something I could control. Which is basically beating the shit out of anyone that lays a finger on Lillian. It's like Leo said, she's our friend now and we protect our friends.

Donnie sighs, "It sounds pretty bad. I didn't think it was like that."

"Neither did I." I said softly.

Lilly enters the room with a small smile. "Heh...sorry guys. My mom was just-"

Mikey grabbed her hand which stunned me a bit. "Its okay Lilly, we get it."

I saw her smile even more. Leo was right, she was really pretty...

She clapped her hands. "Well, it's what...two thirty. Shall we get moving?"

I think I can speak for everyone when I say, we were all happy to leave.
