Okay, I read the reviews, and to the person named, 'unknown', I didn't know how to spell 'Booyakasha' now I do! Thanks!
Mikey's POV:
My brothers walk into the lair still not talking. "Uh dudes? Is it something I said?" Donnie was about to speak to me, until Leo shook his head in disagreement, and Donnie turned back around.
"Mikey. Go to bed as a punishment for what you did to all of us tonight." I was about to object, as Leo said firmly, "No. Room. Now."
I frown and turn on my heel and stomp to my room and sit on my bed.
'Stupid Leo.' I think to myself, as I get ready for bed.
'Why is he in charge anyways?'
Raph's POV:
We all walk in; I go to feed spike, while Leo and Donnie go watch some TV on the couch.
"Hey guys!" April says as she walks into the main room. "Hey April." Donnie says without looking at in that direction. Leo's eyes were closed and he was rubbing his temples stressed like. April's face showed confusion, and she sat next to us.
"Whoa, uh, what's wrong? Why so grumpy?" We hear Donnie mumble words, while Leo grunts.
I answer her while still looking at my Spike. "Mikey has been acting childish…a lot…and it's getting on our nerves."
April smiles and laughs a bit. "Ah, turtle problems…no one knows." I raise an eyebrow at her as her smile fades away. "Okay, look, isn't this like, I don't know, something that Mikey always does? It's like apart of him. Apart of his personality?"
Leo turns around and raises an eyebrow. "Well that personality of his almost got him killed. None the less any of us with him! What I'm trying to say is that Mikey needs to mature a bit!"
I look up and nod my head in agreement. "I mean. I love the' lil' guy. But he needs to change…"
"And fast before he, or one of us gets hurt." Donnie adds on.
"Wait. Is that why you guys have been harsh to Mikey?
April stands up and scrunches her eye brows together in confusion. "Wait. I don't think you should blame him for the way he is. It's Mikey."
Leo was about to respond when Donnie got up, "I don't think you're getting it April. A change is needed. And it's needed now. This can go very wrong for us."
April put her hands on her hips. "I don't get it? Me? It's you guys who are not getting it," April says as she pokes his shell accusingly.
I look towards Leo questionably, and he returns the look. 'Uh where's this going?' I mouth to him
'I don't know, but not somewhere good…' He mouths back.
Donnie laughs a bit and crosses his arms. Usually Donnie's not like this…he must be cranky and tired from tonight's patrol. Kinda like all of us.
She continues, "You guys are being rude, selfish, and only thinking about what's wrong with the way Mikey is."
Donnie raises an eyebrow. "April. I hate to remind you but this is kind of between us turtles. You're not really involved, what-so-ever."
She pushes Donnie back, as her voice starts to get louder and suddenly she's yelling, "Well he is my friend as well, and I have as much say in it as you do! So stop being an idiot, and look what's right in front of you! Who Mikey is now!"
Donnie explodes, and yells back with just as much force, "HE'S OUR BROTHER AND WE DON'T NEED ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HIM AS WELL AS WE DO! IT'S NOT YOUR DESION, SO HOW ABOUT YOU STOP BEING AN ANNOYING STUPID GIRL AND STICKING YOUR NOSE INTO EVERYTHING AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE WHERE PEOPLE ACCUALLY CARE. BECAUSE WE DON'T!"
Leo and I's eyes were wide with shock. Donnie never yelled. Especially at April.
April's glare softened as she took in what Donnie had said to her. Her gaze lowered to the floor and she started to blink rapidly, as if she were holding back tears.
Donnie saw this and immediately softened his eyes. "Oh April, I didn't mean-"she shook her head, and looked back up at Donnie eyes glassy. "Save it. I don't want my stupid annoying girl self to bother you any further." Donnie was about to respond when Master Splinter walked into the room.
"What is going on in here?" He asked eyes narrowed. "Master Splinter -"Leo started.
"I was just leaving." April replies and pushes a strain of hair behind her ear and walked away grabbing her hoodie.
Donnie's quick to respond and run up to her. "Wait where are you going?" She shoots a glare at him, and continues to walk. "I'm going to go get the pizza I mistakenly ordered for everyone after a hard day of patrol."
"Well maybe I should go with you-"Donnie starts, April stops abruptly and turns back to Donnie. Poking him once again, yet more angrily and aggressively. "You're NOT going anywhere with me. I don't need your help." She turns back around and leaves.
Master Splinter raises an eyebrow, as Donnie slumps onto the couch in a stuck in shock at her words.
I filled Master Splinter in on what happened tonight, as he nodded his head in understanding. He walked over to his distraught son, and sat next to him. "Do not take her words to heart my son. She's speaking from anger, and sadness."
Donatello shakes his head and continues to stare into nothingness. "Aye, Sensei."
*Dinner time, April's back with the pizza and everyone but Mikey, (still in his room), is eating pizza (Still Raph's POV)*
We eat in silence. I look between Donnie and April, and see April with an angry/sad face eating her pizza. I look towards Donnie once in a while, looking at April in apologetic glances; only for April not to look at him. I catch a glance towards Leo, as he pretends to tug on his fake collar. I snicker and eat another slice.
Leo claps his hands together breaking the silence. "Well, uh I'm going to get ready for bed. I'm worn out…" "Yeah, me too." I say as I follow after him, leaving Donnie and April alone. Hopefully to settle this out.
Donnie's POV:
We continue to chew in an awkward silence sense my two brothers left. She begins to clean up and she's about to leave when I force myself to say something.
"Uh April?" I ask her. But she continues towards her room without a word. "April please! Listen to me! I didn't mean anything I said!" She slams the door in my face, as I groan in defeat.
Mikey's POV:
Donnie uses his staff and knocks me backwards. I feel warm blood drip down my forehead as I continue to cry my salty tears. "D-Donnie! W-"
I get smacked and thrown on to the ground by Raphael. "P-Please! Raph, s-stop this!" I try getting up as Leo roundhouse kicks me back to the ground, as I land with a grunt.
"Guys! P-"Raph uses one of his stars and throws it directly at my leg, digging deep into my flesh, sending searing pain everywhere. I whimper in pain as I try to crawl away from my brothers.
I scream at the top of my lungs as Leo steps on it, digging it deeper into my leg.
"STOP! P-PLEASE!" I shout, "I can't take it anymore!" The three turtles smile sinisterly, as Donnie kicks my injured leg.
More tears pour down my face as they continue to relentlessly hurt me.
"P-please…"
I wake up with a jolt, and sweat pouring down my face. Once again I was crying, I don't know, I couldn't stop. I waited and waited for one of my brothers to come and comfort me but it never came. "P-Please, Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello. Someone…" I whisper as I continue to shake and cry.
Suddenly the door slowly opens, and in comes April. "Mikey?" She whispers. I whimper as a response. She closes my door silently, and walks over to my bed. "Aw Mikey. It's alright." She whispers calmly, stroking my back in a soothing circle.
She lies down on my bed as I lay next to her, crying on her. She strokes my mask less head, and my shell. She quietly begins to sing a tune, and suddenly my crying begins to slow. I start to fall asleep to the tune, when she tries to quietly get up, I groan and hold on to her shirt tighter and mumble; "P-Please don't leave me…don't go…"
Her face softens and she lies back down, and continues to sing softly, while putting me to sleep. I feel her starting to drift off herself, as she pulls the covers over both of us.
She whispers, "We'll be here Mikey. It's alright. No need to worry." I nod my head and start to drift.
"Good night Mickey."
"Good Night April."
