Leo

Cecelia came running towards me as I entered the cafeteria. 'Mikey's having a friggen panic attack when a girl tripped him. I think he knows her or something." I run over to Mikey and it's hard to understand him but, I know it's something about Karia. I think through what we should do. I have to think quick though so I just pick him up on instinct.

We head to the office and get picked up. Mikey is finally calming down. We keep pulling Mikey along until he is calm enough to cooperate. I see Casey in the car picking us up. We normally keep Mikey in the middle because he is the smallest but, I told the others to let him on the window side so he can calm down a little more. I explain what I think happened, "We think Mikey saw Karia when he fell over. Maybe she helped him up or something." I turn to Mikey to ask his opinion but, he is asleep.

Mikey is one of those people who always sleeps in a car. I can see Donnie is nodding off too. Raph finally falls asleep and Casey asks me a question, "That red head Mikey was with what's her name?" I give him a strange look and answer, "Cecelia. Mikey seems to like her." He sighs and say, " Don't tell Mikey I said this but, I don't like her. She seems familiar and not in a good way." I think about the day, "April said they used to be friends. Maybe that is where you remember her from. Seems like it ended badly. Why did you wait until everyone fell asleep to ask me?"

He gives me a cocky grin he normally gives Raph, "Cause I trust you when it comes to your bro's. I know I would not have let any body stop seeing my sister from her friends if they didn't ask first. You seem fine with Mikey seeing Cecelia. So I'm not going to stop it even if I don't trust her." I nod. Casey rarely shows his compassionate side but, when he does it makes you like the guy a little bit more.

Mikey's POV.

I wake up and see my legs swinging. I stretch my arms out and look up at Raph who is carrying me . I jump out of his arms. He gives a scarred sound like he just dropped me or something. "Mikey warn me next time we're on the stairs and you decide to jump out of my arms," he says. Now I known I scared him even if just a little bit.

Leo looks down at us and orders, "Hurry up we need to talk about what happened." I think Donnie was the only one to see a worried look grow on my face. What do I tell them. They can't know Karia was tripping me. I mean I'm pretty sure Will is just joking. I little scratch by my eye does not change much. I decide just to tell them I tripped and saw Karia when people surrounded me.

We get into Leo and Don's room. "Okay Mikey tell us what happened," Leo says obviously curious about what happened. Time to put those acting skills to work, "I was about to dump my tray and tripped and fell. People flocked over and I saw Karia." I think April saw through my lie but, before she could speak Raph did, "Nice job cluts tripping by the Popular girl table. Not my fault if you never get a girlfriend." Don tries to make a joke but, it was only okay, "If he's not already dating Cece." We give him pity points and laugh anyways.

"Okay so about Karia. Mikey did she seem suspicious at all," Leo asks as you can tell the thinking going on in his eyes. "No, just seeing Karia scared me a bit. She had no idea. How could she anyways this is all Donnie's fault." Don quickly defends himself, "No, this is all your fault. Your the one who bumped the serum." I snapped, "Maybe, I did it on accident when I was trying to spend time with my family because you are always trapped in your lab. 'Dedicating' more like wasting your health and time on science. Leo is always training and ignoring me and Raph when the last time you told me you loved me. Yeah that's right you don't remember. It was 2 years and 21 days ago since I started counting."

Their faces had a look of sorrow cover their faces. Then Raph's changed. It got angry. "MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T SO ANNOYING ALL THE TIME I WOULD LOVE YOU," He yelled. That hit me hard. I felt suffocated. I never said he didn't love. I thought he just didn't say it. My breathing got rapid. Did the others think that they haven't said anything. They agree, they agree.

I run. I ran to the school. I heard the footsteps behind me. I speed up. Faster, faster, faster dammit Mikey go faster. I turn a few corners. I think I lost them. I collapsed on my self. Why didn't they say any thing. I pull out my phone. Should I call someone. I need something. I call Cece. "Cece can you meet me behind the school. Don't tell my brother were I am," I plead. I need someone right now and my brothers aren't an option.

"Are you crying what happened," she asks. I thought I heard someone in the background but, I just brush it off. "Well, yeah but, can you come," I really hope she can. "Yeah, yeah I'll be there in second," She says. I hear shuffling in the background. Again I thought I heard a male voice. I bet it's her dad. I hang up the phone. I'm waiting for her but, the voice still keeps coming back to my head. I swear I've heard it before.

I bet I'm just being paranoid. "Mikey there you are. What happened," Cece asks turning the corner. "My brothers are just being jerks." She gives me a disapproving look and says, "Mikey you deal with enough at school. Don't put, up with this s*** at home to." She rubs her hand through my hair in a maternal way. I lean into her hand. She sits next to me asking a few more question and I answer them. I can tell she is getting a little more angry with everything I tell her.

"Why don't you stay at my house to night. Text your brothers but, don't tell them where you are. I don't they would like you spending the night at my house," she nods raising a question in my head. "Why would they care?" She gives a little giggle, "Cause I'm a girl." I'm still confused, "And that changes things how?" She rubs her hand through my hair again, " You're so innocent it's cute. Here let me text your brother," she asks well taking my phone out of my back pocket. Her hand lingers a bit. I check what she wrote, "I'm staying at Will's tonight. I'll be home tomorrow morning."

She helps me up. I give her a smile and were on our way. She grabs my hand and I fell at peace. Thank God for Cecelia.
