Déjà vu

"But Bailey I really don't want to stay there all night. I've been to one of Charles' birthday parties before. All they do is drink booze and get off by their high standards of the rich and classy. You know I don't like it." Leolani explained to one of her best friends on the phone.

Leolani was sitting in the living room looking out onto New York City. It was 5:00 p.m. and Bailey called her to see how long she was going to stay at her boyfriend's party. Leolani was explaining she wasn't going to attend the event for very long. She really didn't feel like going in the first place, but the things she'll do for her boyfriend.

"What?! Are you kidding?" Bailey practically screamed into the phone. Leolani held the phone a couple of inches from her ear "Lani, this party is going to be super awesome! Everybody who is anybody is going to be there. Do you know who your boyfriend is?"

Leolani hesitated, "Umm a jerk?"

"Leolani!" Bailey scolded, "That's not the point. Your boyfriend is high class. He is socially known for being classy and rich. You knew what you were getting yourself into when you decided to date him. You knew what kind of lifestyle he had and don't act like this is all new to you. Your family is into all this stuff."

"Yeah well my family isn't here." Leolani spat at her best friend. She didn't like talking about this particular topic because she knew Bailey was right, she's almost right about everything, just like her sister. "Look Bailey, can we talk about this later? If I'm going to make it to the party I'm going to have to start getting ready now."

"Okay fine, but please act happy. You know Charles adores you." Bailey gushed.

Leolani rolled her eyes. "Yeah yeah anyway, is Hailey going?"

Bailey sighed "No, she doesn't feel like going and besides she's watching our little brother tonight while myself and the parents attend your boyfriend's party."

"Tell your sister she's a smart girl. I didn't want to go either, but I'm glad she can get out of it unlike myself." Leolani pouted to herself.

"Will you quit whining? I'll see you in a few alright?" Bailey asked.

"Alright, bye Bailey." Leolani said and hung up the phone.

She was exhausted, not from the day's chorus, but from the high class lifestyle she had to live up to. She was mentally tired of it.

Leolani got up from the couch and made her way into her room. She looked at the dress that was lying on the bed. She decided to go with a gold, sparkly, long sleeved dress that goes about mid-thigh. The back of the dress is cut and it starts from each shoulder blade, going down into a V-shape. The reason why Leolani picked the dress was because it wasn't a horrid, cupcake dress nor did it have any flashy colors. That's the way she liked it.

She took a deep breath and blew air out of her mouth. The raven haired girl threw her cell phone on her bed and sat down at her desk. She picked up her To Do List and made sure she did everything.

"Let's see here, I already took my piano lessons for today. Check on that." Leolani made a check mark next to the task. "I cleaned for the day, I already Skyped my parents, and I already did all my homework that needed to be done. Check for each one of those." Leolani nodded her head and smiled. Today wasn't really a hectic day for her and she was glad. "And I already practiced my ninjitsu on the roof today, so I think I'm all done."

The night that Leolani almost got raped, she didn't want to take anymore chances with her life, so she decided to find a self-defense class. She found a class downtown and she simply fell in love with the art of ninjitsu. The place had a Japanese name, but it translates to 'The Great Foot'. She thought that was an odd name for a ninjitsu dojo, but she didn't care. She just wanted to learn. Her master's name is Master Chang. He is a little old man, but Leolani learned to never judge. He can still hang with the best of them. They have gotten along pretty well and Leolani has learned a lot in the past two months. She wishes that somebody would harass her like that night so she can test her new born skills. She practices everyday at 3:30 on the rooftop. Nobody ever goes up there, so she figured that would be her personal outside dojo.

Leolani put her list back onto her desk and smiled. She really was grateful that she didn't have a lot to do today or else she would be stressed out, more than she already was.

She got up from her desk chair and went over to her bed to pick up her gold dress. She held it out arm's length and took a deep breath. "Well, let's go get ready for the party."

~*TMNT*~

"You can't be serious!? I won and you know that!" Raphael shouted at his youngest brother who happened to be grinning at the TV screen.

Since Raphael and Michelangelo couldn't agree on anything to watch, they decided to play Street Fighter to see who got dibs on the TV.

Raphael threw his remote control onto the floor and crossed his arms, muttering something under his breath about how Mikey used cheat codes without him knowing about it.

Mikey rolled his eyes "Face it bro, I won fair and square. Don't be such a sore loser." The orange-masked turtle grinned at the hot head who was sitting right beside him. He continued, "and since I won, I get dibs on the TV."

Michelangelo reached for the remote but a firm hand grabbed his arm. He looked up and saw steam coming out of Raphael's ears. "I don't think so. You cheated!" Raph accused. "So I get the TV."

"No! I do."

"I do!"

Donatello took a sip of his coffee and continued to type rapidly on his laptop. He stopped for a moment and rubbed his temples together. He could hear his brothers bickering from the kitchen and it was driving him insane. He was starting to think that maybe Leo patrolling tonight on his own wasn't such a good idea; he should have volunteered to tag along.

Donnie got up from his sitting position and went into the living room where he could see red and orange going back and forth with each other.

"You're such a cry baby!"

"And you're a sore loser!"

The pacifist turtle walked over to his arguing brothers and grabbed the remote from them. "Guys! That is enough!"

"Hey!" They both shouted together.

"What's the big idea?" Raphael asked Donnie, pointing a finger at him.

"Yeah, I was about to watch something on TV." Mikey stretched out the I, making Raphael catch on.

"Why you little….." Raphael was about to lunge at his annoying brother when he heard Leonardo's voice.

"I knew this was going to be a disaster. Look at this place! I can't patrol tonight, you guys need authority and discipline." Leonardo exclaimed as he looked around their home. Pillows were thrown everywhere, pizza boxes were scattered on the floor, and coke cans were lying everywhere.

Mikey laughed to himself "Come on dude, this place always looks filthy. I mean, look who lives here." The joking turtle looked at his hot-headed brother.

Raphael smacked him upside the head and folded his arms. "There, now we're even." He stated with a smirk.

Michelangelo rubbed his head and stuck his tongue out at him. "Jerk" He mumbled to himself.

Donatello rolled his eyes. "Look Leo, don't worry about us. We'll be fine. It is us that should be worried about you. You need this time for yourself and actually" Donnie stepped closer and whispered to Leo "I'm kind of jealous because I have to be stuck with these two all night."

Leonardo laughed and shook his head. "I guess I do need some time for myself. Alright, I'm heading off now. Can all of you please behave yourselves?"

"As long as Mikey doesn't annoy me then sure."

"If sore loser hot head doesn't get mad every two minutes then of course bro"

"Hopefully these two will stop fighting. We'll be good now go." Donnie shooed his oldest brother out.

"Alright I'm going I'm going." Leo headed towards the exit and stood there for a minute. He was making sure that he wouldn't regret his decision. He left and walked into the sewers of New York. What Leonardo didn't know was the decision he just made was going to change his life forever.

~*TMNT*~

The party was a big hit like always. Elegant music flowed through the New York mansion. You could hear glasses clinging together, bottles of wine and champagne being popped open. Everywhere you looked there were adults laughing at their own jokes and actually making asses of them. It was going to be a fun night.

Leolani wasn't in the house anymore. The actual party for Charles' friends was held out back in the normal sized house. Teenagers were only allowed because the adults were having the time of their life inside. It was all a big hoax to Leolani. The adults just wanted a reason to get drunk and the teenagers could always find a reason to.

Mostly everybody was complimenting her outfit that she wore. The gold sparkly dressed matched perfectly with her black slick pumps. The smoky eyeshadow brightened up her blue eyes and the black curled hair was just a plus. Leolani looked gorgeous to say the least and she liked that. She liked feeling wanted, but she could hold her own. She didn't need a guy telling her she was beautiful, but it would be nice to actually hear it once in a while.

It was almost midnight and Leolani had enough seeing teenagers her age getting drunk off of one bottle of beer or one shot of vodka. Some of them are just pretending, Leolani said bitterly in her mind. She knew what drunk felt and looked like and half of the people in the house didn't even look like that.

She was also fed up with her boyfriend's attitude towards her. He showed her off to his parents, his parent's friends, best friends, and everybody else, and then suddenly he dumped her off to go hang out with his friends and get drunk. She would see other girls all over him and she knew that he didn't mind. Leolani was any other typical teenage girl. She gets jealous, but she tried to not let it get to her. So there Leolani was, sitting on a couch watching people waste their life away, but she didn't want to waste hers.

"I have to find Charles." Leolani said loudly enough to hear herself while blasting house music bursted through the speakers.

She finally found him on the couch with some blonde girl who either looked too drunk to speak or too tired not to care.

"Charles" Leolani said politely as possible.

He had his hand on the blonde girl's knee and she shot daggers at him. He instantly cleared his throat and stood up from the couch.

"I'm sorry, what is it that you want?" Charles said smugly.

Leolani yelled over the music, "I am going home now. I haven't had any fun all night. This party is ridiculous."

Charles eyed his girlfriend from top to bottom. He took another swig of his beer and set in on one of the side tables. "Fine, you wanna go home? Let me assist you then." He cleared his throat so that everybody could hear him. "Everybody I'm about to take my beautiful girlfriend home. It might be awhile, if you know what I mean."

You could hear wolf whistles and cheering coming from every guy in the room and you could almost hear the unflattering thoughts as well. You looked into each girl's eyes and you almost saw tears pouring through them, or maybe it was the alcohol.

Leolani slapped Charles across the face and pointed a finger at him. "Don't you ever talk about me like that again, do you understand? You are being an ass." She stormed out of the house, leaving a shocked Charles behind.

Her black pumps clicked on the sidewalk everytime she stepped forward. She was beyond mad, she was pissed. She couldn't believe how much of a jerk Charles has been. She couldn't believe how long she put up with his arrogant attitude and his selfishness.

"Leolani wait! Please!" She heard an unwelcome voice approach her from behind, but she continued to keep on walking.

"Aren't you going to stop?"

Still no reply

"Listen to me now!" He grabbed her by the arm and swung her around so she was facing him. She was startled. Her mind was telling her to twist his arm and hold it behind his back, but her body was frozen.

"Let go of my arm Charles. I'm done playing games with you." She jerked her arm away and continued to keep on walking.

Ten seconds passed by and she could hear his voice again, approaching her once more. "So what? You're just going to leave me? My own girlfriend is going to bail on me when I'm having the time of my life?"

She turned around instantly and looked at him in his hazy green eyes. "Let's get one thing straight, I am not your girlfriend anymore. We're done. It's over. I'm tired of you treating me like dirt. Find somebody else that will give it up to you." Leolani said sternly.

A couple of moments passed by. She wasn't sure if Charles heard her correctly or not. She didn't care, he probably wouldn't remember any of it by tomorrow morning anyway. She slowly started walked backwards when he reached for her arm and dragged her where the streetlights didn't show too much.

"Listen here bitch, nobody and I mean nobody breaks it off with Charles unless I want to. So, you're not breaking up with me until I get what I want." Charles grabbed Leolani by the hair and threw her against the wall, making her scream. Her head hit the wall violently.

Everything was spinning. She didn't know if she was dying or just having an episode. She touched the back of her head and felt warm, sticky liquid coming out from it. It was just like that night two months when she almost got raped and killed. It was definitely déjà vu.

She tried to stand up but she couldn't. She just laid there on the cold, hard pavement of the concrete. Nobody was insight, how convenient. Charles was saying something, but Leolani couldn't understand him. She was worried she was going deaf as well.

Why am I laying here? Where are all my ninjitsu skills I learned over the past two months? Can I really be this helpless? Many thoughts were rambling through Leolani's mind, but could you blame her. She couldn't decide if she just froze under pressure or she was just caught off guard by her boyfriend's aggressiveness. There was nothing to do now, but just try to get out of here alive.

Charles was making his way towards her. He bent down and pushed the hair out of her face. "Look at you, all dolled up for me." There was a pause when he was stroking her cheek "and to think, I was going to waste this beauty by you leaving the party." He laughed loudly, "Oh no, I have different plans for you."

Leolani's eyes widened and she kicked him in the stomach. She crawled away, trying to fight the pain in her head, but it was too late. Charles grabbed her by her legs and dragged her towards him. She could feel the scratches and burns on her back and legs. She was losing blood and she didn't know how to stop it.

She squirmed from his touch and shouted violently "Let me go! Help! Somebody please!"

Leolani was falling into unconsciousness from the amount of blood she was losing from her head. She was trying to think of any possible solutions to save herself, but she came up with nothing.

"I think the lady said to let her go." A familiar voice spoke from nowhere.

Leolani's heart fluttered. She knew that voice. The voice sounded bittersweet and serious. Her body was starting to shut down, but she was forcing it to stay awake for the sake of her memories.

Charles stood up on both legs and started to back away "I don't know who you are, but she's all yours. I'm not drunk enough to stick around." The coward fled as if bees were chasing him.

Leolani heard her jerk ex-boyfriend leave. That was great news, but the bad news was that she and her mind were at war, and she was losing. She could hear faintly and her eyesight was beginning to get hazy.

She felt herself being lifted by cold sturdy arms and it felt nice. The scratches on her back weren't burning anymore. The coldness of the arms were soothing them. She could hear breathing, an even tone of breathing. She could hear muttering from the person that was holding her. Leolani was starting to worry herself. What if this person isn't too friendly after all? What if this person was just going to kill me themselves? There were different types of scenarios Leolani was coming up with, but she didn't buy any of them. She didn't feel like she was in danger. In fact, call her crazy but, Leolani felt safe, at peace, as if this is where she belonged.

A/N- I'm not totally satisfied with this chapter, but I guess it will have to do. Now you guys might be wondering "Oh my gosh, Leo saved Leolani" Well I technically never said that. It could be Donnie. He did want to go out and patrol with Leo remember, but those chances are slim to none. Hopefully all of you liked this chapter. Reviews are most appreciated. Happy Reading! Goodnight (its nighttime here lol)
