Leo's View
'Inhale' my mind said as I drew in a deep breath and held it 'Find your centre, Find inner peace', it wasn't there. My brows furrowed together in frustration as I exhaled the long breath, my focus was off today, and I think I know why. "it's Ava" I sighed, for some reason I feel as though she's starting to resent me. Opening my eyes I took in another breath, all I want to do is help her get better again but she is disobeying me. Letting out the breath I decided that now would be a good time to practice my katas, unsheathing my katana I got into a stance "I hope she knows that I love her" I sighed.
Ava's view
Gulping I nervously glanced at my opponent. Skilful, cunning, unafraid. She grinned confidently and laid down her cards "time to face the music Ava" Ellie smirked as she eyed her Royal flush "again?" I sighed revealing a mere two pair. "I guess you win again Ellie" I smiled as she once again shuffled the deck of cards, smiling Ellie giggled sheepily "sorry I'll try not to" she apologized "it's okay, we're having fun that's all that counts" I smiled as Ellie handed out the cards "really, normally my bro really gets peeved when I win" she chuckled "well this is girl time" I smiled as I looked at my hand. I held back the urge to sigh, again another lousy hand. "your right, this is girl time and girl time is fun time".
I laughed at this, yes I am having fun. Right now it's what I need. Picking up another card I grimaced 'this isn't so good' Leo's been on my back a lot lately, it's like all he wants me to do is to stay in bed while he trains, 'does he think I'm completely helpless or something?' I mentally asked, well if he does it's a really dumb question because I am completely capable of looking after myself, I mean I survived in the Bronx for over seven years'.
A knock on the door pulled me out of my inner thoughts "come in" I said as I looked over to see Raph come in with a tray of cookies "hey Ava" he smirked as he walked over, although he was walking over to me, his eyes never left Ellie.
Ellie's view
As soon as Raph opened the door I bit my lip to stop it from turning into a lop-sided smile. 'dam he is smokin' my brain was practically drooling but stopped as soon as he smirked at Ava, I brows frowned ever so slightly 'am I missing something here?' Raph walked over to Ava "these are for ya, Mikey made em", Ava giggled "better him than you huh Raph". Raph chuckled lightly "so what have you two gals been up to?" he asked turning to me, my cheeks started to heat up "just uh playing some cards" I stuttered pulling my cards up to cover my face. 'is Raph with Ava?', it would make sense I mean they make a great couple.
A few seconds later I heard a throat clearing, lowering my cards so that I could see the source of the noise, I saw Leo standing underneath the doorframe with a smile on his face 'heh he has a smile' my brain laughed. "hi Leo" Ava smiled, her eyes held a gaze of adoration… my eyes widened '..no way' Leo walked over to Ava and pecked her in the cheek "it's getting late Ava… the rest of the words started to fade, "okay now I'm just confused" I exclaimed putting my cards down on the bed.
Leo, Ava and Raph turned to look at me with confused faces "uhh what are you confused about Ellie?" asked Ava with furrowed brow's "are you going out with Leo AND Raph?" I questioned in an extremely confused tone. Ava's face instantly turned crimson as did Leo's and Raph's, Leo instantly and rapidly shook his head "No no no Ellie Ava isn't going out with Raph" he explained with a flush, Ava chuckled nervously and took a hold of Leo's arm "this is the only turtle for me Ellie" she said, he cheeks where now a light shade of pink.
Suddenly I felt really embarrassed, Raph never said anything he just sorta stared at me which made me feel even more out of place, my face turning a unique shade of pink I quickly stood up from the bed "uh it's really getting late and I have food in the oven, later" I nervously said quickly making my way to the door.
Opening the door knob I walked briskly toward the elevator 'dammit Ellie how can you be so… so PLATTINUM BLONDE!, now there never gonna speak to me again… how lovely' rubbing my temples I didn't notice a set of footsteps following me. When a green hand gripped my shoulder I let out a sigh and stopped my half jog half really fast walking "what is it Raph?" I asked with a grouch, my cheeks still holding hints of redness where now starting to heat up all over again 'perfect'. "Ellie, c'mon an lets go back into Leo an Ava's room ya know ya don't wanna leave now" Raph coaxed slightly pulling me back with the grip on my shoulder, quickly shaking it off I shook my head "Raph I am NOT going back in there, I made a total ass outa myself" I replied starting to walk again with the green machine hot on my tail "Ellie c'mon Ava doesn't care bout any of that and neither does my bro" Raph has some spunk I'll give him that but I have been told that I am extremely stubborn in most cases "sorry Raph but as you can probably guess I'm just a 'little' bit embarrassed of what happened" I said whilst picking up my white hoodie before walking again "the least you can do is let me leave with my digni-TEEEEEEEEE" I screeched losing my balance to a banana peel 'this day just keeps getting better and better' my mind groaned 'well here come the pain'.
