Chapter 11

A/N Hey, so I should be a little more free for two weeks. I stopped stage crew for the play, but I still have fitness center after school on most days. I didn't get any reviews last chapter, so I don't have any to answer. If any of you have vine follow me at Smarklez. Okay well onto the story. Oh, and I guess a question should I have Mikey pursue Lyle, the other way around, or should I move on with the main plot. I'll start the Mikey, Lyle stuff in this chapter. P.S I'm going to revise the first 5 or so chapters, so there might be a longer wait between new chapters. (Follow me on musically; Smarklez) Thanks.

Mikey's POV

I lift my hand through my blond hair and move slowly towards that house. I hop up the stairs and slowly sneak past April's room. My heart breaks a little bit when I hear her crying into her pillow. I step towards her door and set my hand on the handle just to hastily pull my hand away and shake my head. She needs time to herself. I reach my room and open the door cursing the creaking wood. I shut the door lightly behind me and settle into my bed.

I toss and turn in my bed trying to get comfortable. My shaggy hair is stuck to my forehead with sweat. I hear the noisy truck roll up and groan turning and trying to fall asleep hastily. The car door slams and I hear Raphael's drunken slurs as he yells at Leo. I pull my blanket up to my chin to give the illusion that I'm asleep. I don't need another fight today.

Heavy foot step go up the stairs a booming yell comes from outside my door, "Mikey what the fuck!" The door slams open. He walks up to my bed and grabs the back of my shirt dragging me out of bed. He lets go and I hit the floor with a large smack against the ground and a yelp. Three people are heard coming up the stairs. Raph grabs me by my hair and forces me to stand.

"Will and me a talked about you. Fucking Dork! It's not good for my rep to hang with you. You know at first I felt bad for what I said to you, but rumor has it you were being a fucking fag at the party tonight," Raph bellows out.

Tears start to drain. He's my big brother he's supposed to protect me not… not make me feel like this. Leo, Donnie, and Splinter come through the door. Leo rushes over and grabs me from Raph rubbing my back and holding me. I distantly hear Splinter scolding Raph. Don's hand runs through my hair with a gentle hush to follow. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep in my brothers arms.

(Time Skip)

I open my eyes with a blink the light is shining in through the window right into my eyes. I turn on my side to look at my clock. I jump up suddenly because it read 10:24 and I have school today. I run down the stairs almost tripping. I see Raph sitting at the kitchen counter with Leo and Donnie on the other side.

"What are your guys doing we have school today! We are already late," I say as I grab my bag. Leo comes over to me grabbing my shoulder. Putting his fingers on my he pulls my face up, so I am looking him in the eyes.

"Mikey we think it's best if none of us go to school today," Leo says calmingly. My first reaction is disappointment because Cece and me were supposed to practice today that's not considering the fact I really wanted to see Lyle.

A rough voice comes from the kitchen counter, "Look Mikey, I'm sorry I was being a real dick last night. I guess I have been since I let this human thing get to my head. Yeah, I was drunk, but that's no excuse to beat up my baby brother. All that gay shit too. I know you're not gay, so are we good."

My hearts starts beating faster and faster. I think I might be gay. I mean i've never really liked a girl and I think Lyle is ,so cute. "Umm, yeah Raph were good. Good thing I'm not gay right or this would be really awkward," I blurt out with a nervous laugh. Don's eyes go wide in realization. Leo is biting his lip from the inside of his mouth.

Raph laughs loudly into my ear, "Nice one Mikey, almost had me for a second. I mean my brother being a fucking queer in my nightmares." I laugh fakely again, but Raph didn't catch it. Donnie looks me in the eyes and nods toward the barn.

"I need to talk to Mikey alone for a bit guys. We'll be in the barn," Donnie stats from me. My walk out the front door and to the creaky red barn. The smell of hay hits your nose suddenly then wafts in the air. We each sit on a hay bail across from each other.

Donnie takes a deep breath and says, "Mikey I know that wasn't a joking stutter. You're gay aren't you?"

I start breathing heavily. I just. I can't think. I can't breathe. I'm scared. Someone grabs my shoulders and starts shaking me. My stomach is twisting and turning. I hear what I think is Donnie yelling for someone. I close my eyes and grab my hair. What is going on?

I get lifted up and I start yelling, "Help! Let me down! Please!" Im turning and shaking just to try to get away. I feel a hand going through my hair.

"Mikey take a deep breathe it's Leo," he says. Relaxing a bit at my brothers voice I take a deep breath. I think I'm done crying.

With a hushed tone Leo turns to Don and says, "Donnie what did you say to him?" I look up at Donnie and he mouths to Leo, "I'll tell you later." Raph is standing behind him looking worried.

"Hey, Mikey I'm gonna take you up to bed okay," Leo asks gently I nod and he lifts me up bringing me to bed. I go to sleep scared because Donnie knows my secret and Leo is going to know too.

A/N I really didn't like this chapter, but I'm super busy this weekend. Sorry, for posting a half-assed chapter, but I will make it up with an extra 500 words on the next chapter. Also, I'm sorry if the characters seem really out of character especially in this chapter. I figure though that the stress and new environment is really getting to all of them especially Raph and Mikey.
