Chapter 7
Mikey's POV
I heard Midnight slammed her door shut. I opened it before she could lock it.
"Can I come in?" I asked. She didn't answer so I walked in. She sat down on the bed and so did I.
"You know she's right." I told her.
"I won't listen to her. I won't." She said.
"why can't you just give her a chance? She's not that bad and she is your cousin."
"We're like you and Raph but ten times worse."
"Please, for me? I want my girlfriend and my future sister to get along. You mean so much to me and so does she." I said.
"Mikey, even if I wanted too I couldn't. We just don't get along."
"Pleease." I begged and did some puppy eyes.
"I'll try." She said and I hugged her.
"Yay!" I yelled.
"And maybe promise Raph not to leave the house alone." I said.
"Seriously?" I nodded.
"fine. Just because I know he's worried to death." She said.
"c'mon let's go to the others." I said and we started walking down. She walked up to Raph.
"can I talk to you? Alone?" Raph looked at her then nodded. She grabbed his hand and they walked out.
"what did you say, Mikey?" Felicia asked.
"I just asked her to do something. With my puppy eyes." I said.
"that's my guy." Rosie said and put her arm around my waist.
Midnight's POV
I walked outside with Raph. He put his hands in his pants pockets.
"So what do ya wanna talk about?" He asked.
"Look, I'm sorry. I know you're just worried about me. I understand that, I really do. I just wish you could see this from my side." I said.
"Mid, I know how it's like. Getting orders ya don't like. But remember what I told ya, dat ya have ta learn how ta control yer anger? Ya need ta." He said.
"I know, Brooklyn-Boy. And I promise you I will be more careful. If you promise not to be so protective." I said.
"I will always be protective over ya. No matter what." He said. I looked down. Then Raph grabbed my hands and looked at me in the eyes.
"But I'll try. I love ya." I smiled at him.
"I love you too." I said and kissed him. I heard a click and me and Raph turned our heads. We saw Kate standing there with her camera.
"Kate!" I yelled jokely
"I think I just took the new picture to your nightstand." She said. Raph chuckled.
"Can I see it?" He asked.
"Promise not to delete it first." Kate said.
"I promise." Kate handed him the camera. He looked at the picture and then handed her the camera.
"Can I get a copy of dat?" He asked. I looked at him surprised. Kate did too.
"Sure. But you have to wait a few days. I need new paint to my photo printer." She said and we walked back to the basement. We all hung out for an hour then everyone went home. Me and Rosie went upstairs. For some reason she followed me to my room.
"Melrose, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"why don't you have any pictures of me?" She asked.
"what?" I asked confused.
"On your bookshelf. You have pictures of the guys, Kate, Felicia, Louis, your parents and some other relatives. But not me. And my family are pretty close to your family."
"So? Maybe I don't want you there." I said.
"Midnight, why can't you see I'm sorry?"
"You never apologize in the first place." I said.
"It was years ago. Can't you forgive me?"
"No." I said.
"Joanna, please."
"I won't forgive you. But I'll try to get along. For Mikey." I said and crossed my arms.
"Thanks!" She said and hugged me. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm sorry for everything. I really am."
"yeah, yeah. Me too.." I said.
"Now get out. I have stuff to do."
"Stuff like writing?" She winked at me.
"No.." I said.
"Try to hide it but you can't. I know you still love to write." She said and walked out.
I took out my notebook and pen and started writing. I know it's weird but I loved to write. Poems, novels, songs, everything. When I was younger I just liked to write my own songs and at parties I performed while playing the guitar. I didn't think I could sing good but Kate always told me that she wished that she could sing like me while I wished I could draw like her. Her drawings were amazing.
I looked at what I had written. It was supposed to be a poem but it fitted more to be a song. I started writing more lyrics and then decided to put some music to it. I grabbed my guitar and played some chords. Soon enough I had written a new song.
I was about to play and sing it through when I heard a small knock on my window. I hung up my guitar on the wall and opened the window.
"Brooklyn-boy what are you doing here? It's really late." I told him.
"Guess I couldn't stay away from ya." He said and climbed in. I closed my window and looked at him. He was about to grab my notebook when I jerked it from the bed.
"That's private." I said and hid it behind my back.
"C'mon let me see it." he said and tried to take it.
"Nope." I said.
"I'm yer boyfriend."
"I know. But I don't want you to see it." I said. He then started to tickle me.
"Brooklyn-boy stop!" I laughed and turned around. He wrapped his arms around me and stared to tickle me. I laughed so hard we both fell on the bed.
"Let me see it!" He said.
"Never." I said and he started to tickle me some more.
"Fine, I surrender!" I said. Raph stopped and I handed him my notebook. He read the song I had just written.
"Ya wrote dis?" He asked.
"Yeah.." I said.
"It's good. Can I hear it?" He asked. For some reason I became really nervous.
"I don't know.. I'm not a very good singer." I said.
"I don't care. Let me hear ya." He said.
"okay. But you asked for it." I said and got my guitar. I played the first chords and stared singing. I was really, really nervous but I sang the whole song for him. When the song ended he smiled at me.
"Yer not bad. Yer really good." I hung my guitar back.
"Thanks." I said.
"so what really brings you over?" I asked him.
"I had a bad feeling. Like sumthin' gonna happen." He said.
"so you just wanted to check on me?" I said.
"maybe..." He said.
"well, I'm fine so you can leave. Or else you're gonna get in trouble."
"I kinda told 'em I was gonna stay here." He said and scratched the back of his head.
"fine, but no funny business." I said.
"I promise."
"Good, now turn away. I need to change." I said. Raph did as he was told and I changed into my PJ's. I pulled off the blanket and laid down on my bed. Raph laid down next to me and pulled the blanket up. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close.
"what are you gonna wear tomorrow? You know it's school, right?" I asked him.
"mah bag is over by da window. Guess ya didn't see before." He said.
"ohh.." I said.
"Now, get some sleep." He said. I turned around and rested my head on his chest. I had my hands there too. He kissed my forehead.
"Love ya, Midnight."
"Love you too, Brooklyn-boy." I said and closed my eyes. This is where I wanted to be. In Raph's arms.
Raph's POV
I woke up in the middle of the night, Midnight were still asleep. Funny was that even if she slept, she still looked on guard. I let go of her, it began to be hot between us so I decided to open the window. Nothing would happen when I was here with her.
I went back to her when I heard steps downstairs. Probably nothing but I decided to check just in case. I silently left the room and went downstairs without a sound, I'm a ninja after all. There was a tiny little light coming from the kitchen, I walked closer. I heard the sound of a creaking cupboard, someone didn't want to be heard, probably a burglar. Some more noise were heard, not sure what.
I checked the window if I could see a mirrored picture of the person but it was too dark and the moon reflected back. Nothing except that was heard, maybe the person felt my presence? Either way, no one were going to steal from my girlfriend or her family. I pressed the light button.
"Gotcha!" I said.
But what I saw just made me confused, I got to be dreaming this one. Right before me stood Melrose with an empty and little wet glass in her left hand.
"Raph, what are you doing here?" she asked in a low tone but higher than a whisper.
"I came ta check on Midnight, but what are yah doin' here?" I asked in the same tone. She giggled.
"I live here with Midnight, remember?" she said. Now I felt stupid, she'd been living here for a while and Midnight had complained a few times about it, how could I forget?
"Yeah, that's right…"I said a bit ashamed.
"Well, I'm gonna sleep again, night Raph"
"Uh..Night?" I said and walked up the stairs and laid beside Midnight, this night were weird, lucky that Midnight hadn't woke up. I pulled on the blanket and drifted off to sleep.
Kate's POV
Today I was really happy, I had found out that Ms. Carolina was sick and we didn't had any other teacher who could take her place. This meant that Donnie and I could go home earlier and spend some time together.
I went upstairs and looked after Donnie, me and Jojo still got some glares by the girls but most of them just ignored us or said hello. A bit ahead I saw him talking to Mikey.
"Donnie!" I yelled happily and started to run towards him. He turned around and didn't manage to dodge when I jumped and he fell to the ground.
"Have I said how much love you?" I said to Donnie. Mikey stood there with a shocked face.
"Dudette, have you been hanging out with Melrose? You got some energy today!" he said.
"Sorry, I'm just happy" I said and helped Donnie up.
"Why? You got an A?" Mikey asked.
"I get that all the time, but I was wondering if you want to hang out this afternoon, Donnie" I said.
"We can't, you know, Math class?" he said.
"Yes we can, Ms. Carolina is sick and there isn't another teacher for us" I said.
"Well, okay then, I already know what to do" he said.
"What?" I asked.
"Sorry Kate, that's a secret until school ends" Donnie said with Mikey chuckling, I bet he knew what Donnie planned.
"Okay, see you then!" I said and hugged them both and gave Donnie a kiss on his cheek.
A few hours later, school ended for me and the other honor students. Donnie stood by my locker already and waited for me. I put on my jacket and he took my bag.
"I can take that by myself, you know" I said to him.
"I know, I'm just being a polite boyfriend." He answered.
We walked with our hands together and enjoyed the crystal white snow.
"So, what's the secret?" I said as we reached a frozen lake. I looked beside me and saw that Donnie wasn't there, he soon came back with two pairs of skates.
"Skating, Felicia told me that you liked it." He said.
"I do, but I've never done it myself so I might suck at it" I said and blushed.
"I'll catch you if you fall" Donnie said and led me out to the ice. I felt jealous, a turtle knew how to skate while a real human didn't? what kind of logic is that? If he was gonna be a show off then I wouldn't mind to be as well. I saw how someone jumped and landed perfectly in her boyfriend's arms, that looked romantic, I wanted to do the same.
"Do you really want to jump?" He said, why did it felt like he always read my thoughts?
"Yes, You'll catch me if I fall, right?" I asked, he nodded. We took a sprint and I jumped very high and did a spin, now came the scary part, Donnie might miss me and make me break something. Luckily he didn't.
"Told you I would catch" He said and glide at a very high speed.
"Umm, Donnie? Can you please stay, it's going very fast" I said.
"Oh shell, I've forgot how to stop" he said. We crashed into a pile of snow, that was cold.
"Kate, you ok?" he asked.
"Yeah" I said and threw a snowball at him.
"Hey wh-" He started as I threw a new one at him. I was ready for a snowball, but instead he pushed me down in the pile, I was now covered with snow. We started to laugh and walk home.
We saw a horse sleigh, it would be nice to sit with Donnie and watch the stars in a deep embrace. Again he read my thoughts and led me to the sleigh, I liked this. We sat close to each other, this was relaxing. My head was on his chest and I would've fallen asleep if it wasn't so cold.
"Kate?" Donnie asked
"Yeah?" I said.
"I love you" he said and kissed me gentle. We pulled away and I laid at his chest again.
"I love you too" I said and hugged him.
Leo's POV
It was Tuesday and right now it was time for P.E
Me and my brothers had changed and were waiting for Coach.
"Listen up! Today I want you all to do 50 push-ups and sit-ups. When you all are done you're going to play dodgeball!" Coach told us. As usual me and my brother were the first ones to finish our sit-ups and push-ups. Then everyone was done. We were in the same team as Scott and some of his friends.
"Just great." Raph said.
"Don't start anything, Raph. Okay?" I said to him.
"I won't." He answered. We began to play.
"Cowabunga!" Mikey yelled and threw a ball. It hit the person he was aiming for in the stomach.
"Bennet, you're out!" Coach yelled. We played for a while and we won all 3 rounds. Scott walked up to us.
"Good job, Hamato." He said and held out his hand for me to shake. I took it.
"Thanks, you too." I said. He put his hand on my shoulder and gave me a nod. He did the same to all my brothers.
"was it just me, or did Scott seem.. I don't know, different?" Donnie asked after Scott left.
"Maybe he knows." Mikey said.
"Maybe. We should keep our guards up. Just in case." I said.
"No problem there, fearless." Raph said and we headed back to the lockerrooms.
The rest of the day was boring but the girls were gonna hang out in our place. We were waiting for them by their lockers and we didn't have to wait long until the girls came.
"Mikey!" Rosie yelled and kissed Mikey after wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Rosie!" He yelled happily.
"are you two trying to make us deaf?" Midnight asked making Kate and Felicia chuckle.
"maybe dat's not such a bad thing. We wouldn't hear Mikey complain 'bout everythin'." Raph said.
"Love you too, Raphie-boy!" Mikey said. Raph was about to hit him when Midnight stopped him.
"If I have to learn how to control my anger, you have to do so too." She said.
"that would be fun to see." Kate said.
"Let's go, I want to see my babies!" Mikey said.
"You don't have babies, Mikey." Felicia said.
"His chips. They are his babies." Donnie said.
"Let's just go. Before Master Splinter gets worried." I said. We walked out from the school and to the battle shell or van. I sat in the driver's seat and started to drive.
At first it was quiet until Rosie started to sing "Witch doctor" and Mikey joined her. It sounded terrible and was really annoying.
"ooh eeh ooh ah ah, ting tang walla walla bing bang, ooh eeh ooh ah ah, ting tang walla walla bing bang" They sang and they weren't going to stop
"I told the witch doctor I was in love with you" Rosie sang
"Dun dun dun dun" Mikey tried to beatbox but kinda failed.
"And then the witch doctor he told me what to do, He told me-"
"SHUT UP!" Raph yelled at them. But didn't help since they started to sing louder, Even if I thought it was impossible to do.
"ooh eeh ooh ah ah, ting tang walla walla bing bang, ooh eeh ooh ah ah, ting tang walla walla bing bang" They practically yelled.
"IF YAH DON'T SHUT UP I'LL CUT YER TOUNGE OUT!" Raph and Midnight yelled, I hit the break and everyone went silent and just stared at them.
"What? Like yah weren't thinking it" They said.
"Jojo, rememeber when I said that you started to sound like Raph?" Kate said.
"Yeah, why?" Midnight asked.
"I really mean it this time" Kate said.
"She only sound like meh because she like meh dat much" Raph said.
"Who likes Raph?" Mikey said and we started to laugh except for Raph.
"Midnight, yer supposed ta be on mah side!" Raph said.
"Sorry, it was bunny.." Midnight said. Kate started to laugh even more, she was really easy entertained.
"What's up with Kate all of a sudden?" I asked Donnie.
"Dunno, I'm only her boyfriend" Donnie said
"Don't worry about Kate, she's always like this, when she's laughing it's really hard to snap her out of it. She'll laugh at anything. " Felicia said.
"Watch this" Rosie said and turned to Kate who were giggiling.
"The waitress bring me 1 piece of toast, I told her I wanted 2 piece. She told me : Go to the toilet. I say: You don't understand, I want to piece on the plate." Rosie said in an Italian accent, it sounded pretty funny but Kate looked like she were going to explode.
"She said: You better not piss on the plate you son of a bitch! I don't even know the lady and she call me a son of a beach. Later I go to the bigger restaurant, the waiter bring me a spoon and a knife but no fock. I tell her: I wanna fock. She told me: Everybody wanna fuck. I say: You don't understand I wanna fock on the table. She said: you better not fuck on the table you son of a bitch" Felicia said in the same accent. I didn't get it, what was this all about?'
"Later I went back to my room in the hotel, I found there was no sheet on the bed. I say: Call the manager! I tell him I wanna sheet on the bed. Go to the toilet. I say: You don't understand, I wanna sheet on the bed, He say : you better not shit on the bed you son of a bitch. I went to the check out and the guy behind the desk said: Peace on you. I say: Piss on you too you son of a bitch! I'm going back to Italia! " Midnight finished in the same accent and Kate burst out laughing.
"What the shell?" Donnie said as I started to drive again.
"The Italian man who went to Malta, It's a parody." Kate said between her laughs and started to calm down.
I parked the battle shell and went out to open the manhole. Everyone jumped down and we walked to our lair. Soon I felt like someone bite my neck and it seemed like my brothers did too. My sight got all blurry.
"Guys..Is something wrong? "Rosie asked.
"Who are you again?" Mikey asked her.
