"Raph! Where have you been? We've been Trying to call you all day!" As soon as I walk into the lair all of my brothers crowd around me, demanding answers.

"I was at Casey's place. We watched a hockey game and fell asleep." I lie. Leonardo looks up at me, almost as if he can see through the lie. "Alright, but next time, let us know." Leonardo walks away and into the dojo.

Donatello and Michelangelo are still watching me warily. Mikey seems to loose interest, because he walks away with a shrug on his shoulders. I watch as our youngest brother walks away, but I can feel Don's eyes on me. "What dya want?" I ask, turning my attention to him.

"I think your lying." Donatello states, pushing his glasses up against his snout.

I snort at his theory. "Well, then where do you think I was?"

"With April." I frown as he cracks the code. "How'd ya know?"

"It was quite easy, actually. Both you and April left each other at the same time and neither of you were answering your phones. My only question is, what were you two doing?" I glare at my genius of a brother. "Somethin' that ain't your business." I walk towards my room, making sure to stomp my feet.

"You should at least tell Mikey." I clench my hands into fists at this statement.

What is going on between me and April is between me and April. Not, me April and Mikey.

I keep walking until I'm in my room, and I shut and lock the door behind me.

APRIL POV

"Go away, Vern." I instruct with impatience. For the past two days Vern has done nothing but pester me about Raphael. He doesn't even know what happened the other night, yet he is acting as if it's the end of the world.

"Why? Why him? Why would you skip the business dinner to hang out with him? We were gonna have so much fun together!" I roll my eyes at my cameraman. "Just drop it, Vern, okay?"

"Just answer this question, why him and not me?" I stare at Vern as if he wee insane. Is he really asking me this question? Why? I know he likes me, but he should know by now that I don't feel the same way towards him.

"Me and Raphael are just friends, Vern. There's nothing to be jealous of." I place a hand on his arm for reassurance and he sighs. "Fine." I watch my co-worker as he walks off to talk to someone else.

I look around and realize that I am now alone on the stage. I look down at my watch for the time. 4:25. I was supposed to be able to leave an hour ago but one of the main reporters was gone for the day so I had to fill in for him. Finally, I can go home.

I start walking towards the exit door, eager to get home so I can relax and eat some dinner. Just as I reached out for the handle, I felt my phone start vibrating in my pants pocket. I put my bag down on the ground and grab my phone out of my pocket. A grin forms on my face as I read the caller's name. Raphael.

"Hey babe, what's up?" I ask. "Not much, just wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight?"

I can feel my eyes lighting up at the thought of seeing Raphael again. It's only been two days but it feels eternity. "Of course. I'm leaving the station right now, I'll be at your place in about 30 minutes." I move my phone from my left ear to my right, listening intently to Raph.

"Actually, can we hang at your place? My family still doesn't know about us. Well, except for Don. He sorta cracked the code." I can sense a scowl on his face. "You need to tell them."

"Why? If Mikey finds out.." Raphael trials off. "Yeah, I know that Mike won't be very happy about it but he'll learn to deal with it. They're your family, Raph, they'll understand." I reassure him. I hear him sigh into the speaker. "Alright. I'll tell 'em tomorrow. I'll be at your place in 30 minutes." "Kay, see you soon." I turn off my phone and place it back into my back pocket.

RAPH POV

When I get to April's place, the apartment is empty and April is nowhere to be seen. "April?" I call out. I wander around the dark apartment, searching for any sound of life.

After checking all of the rooms, I send April a text. After waiting ten minutes and reviving not a single text, I decide to call.

I dial her number and listen to her phone ring. And ring. And ring.

April said she'd meet me here twenty minutes ago. But she isn't here and isn't answering her phone. Where is she?

Why is it that my happiness never lasts? I am the last to receive and first to loose.
