Can't escape the past!
Her alarm clock went off waking Mia up. She stretched up slothely releasing that had spent another night on the chair in front the computer trying to finish her school smiled feeling something warm pressing her hand. She turned her head to see that Don was still there, holding her hand and had even put a blanket on her shoulders so she wouldn't get cold. It had been more than two weeks now that they stayed with turtles and Mia with Don had grown closer. He helped her much with school and so but was also a very good friend, although secretly deep inside Mia was hoping for something more. She already started laughing thinking how she and her "sisters" had gotten messed up in this and how it had come to end. Now Kelly and Mikey couldn't spent a moment away each- other, Icy and Raph would be either in dojo hitting the sand bag or in the garage taking care of his motorcycle but always together, even Kate and Leo had shown interest for each-other, now Kate spent most of the time with Leo meditating or even staying talking to him and once Mia was ready to swear she had seen them hugging. As for her and Don they spent most of their time in his lab making research for his experiments. Girls didn't even think on finding a new place to live. Now the lair was their home and turtles with their Master a part of their family. Girls had even met Casey and April who were now two of their best friends too.
Mia removed the blanket from her shoulders and put it on Don who moved just once and then returned to his peaceful sleep. She took her notes with the bag and headed to the living room where Kelly and Mikey were sleeping beside each-other. Mia felt bad to wake them up so she firstly went to Kate's room. Kate was laying in her bed surrounding by her music sheets. Mia smiled when she saw the title of her new piano melody.
"Don't judge love,- Mia thought reading the title,-well I can understand where she got the inspiration."
-Kate,-Mia called,-Kate wake up or you will be late for school.
But Kate didn't move. She must really be tired. Kate studied on the Music University and worked as a private piano teacher to pay for her studies. The same as Mia actually. She worked as a lab assistant but also studied in the university for Physic.
"She could be tired,-Mia thought,- but I am not letting her get late" She pulled the sheets from Kate and started shaking her a bit.
-Kate wake up is seven o'clock. If you sleep a little more you will lose your first hour and you have the competition in three weeks, you shouldn't lose a single lesson.
-I am up,-Kate murmured sitting up in her bed rubbing her head,-I just stayed up until the midnight to finish this song. I think that it is going to be a good one.
She stood up and started collecting her music sheets putting them in a file.
-Did you wake up Icy and Kelly?-Kate asked getting out from of the room. Mia shook her head.
-Their work begins at nine o'clock. I think they could take some more sleep. Beside Kelly and Mikey seemed so sweet together that I didn't have the heart to wake them up.
Differently from them Icy and Kelly had finished their studies. Icy worked as a stylist for a fashion company whereas Kelly had her own art gallery.
-Alright, I am going to change and then we can leave,- Kate confirmed and then left.
(half an hour later)
Finally Kelly,Icy and the guys woke up. Kelly as always complaining that waking up early would affect negatively on her skin and Icy yelling why she should get up in eight o'clock when she had finished the school.
-It just isn't fair,-Kelly said entering the room after she got ready.
-Kelly calm down. You know that you have no choice,-Mia said getting out from her room fully dressed. She said good morning to guys and then headed to the elevator,-So, are you girls planning on leaving today?-she asked ironically.
-Are you sure you don't want us to escort you?- Don asked.
-Don, I think that we discussed this and…-suddenly her phone started ringing,-Who could be in this hour?- she wondered out loud taking the phone.
Only a single look at the screen and then Mia's face went pale. She had frozen seeing to the number and didn't even answered when girls asked who it was. She slowly started walking to the dojo, which in these moments was empty. She made to girls a sign to don't follow her and then walked out of the room. With her hands trembling she put the phone to her ear.
-H-hello,-she said hesitantly. A cold, ironical voice answered to the other side of the phone.
"Hello Mimi. Did you miss me sweetheart?" the voice said sarcastically.
-What do you want?-Mia asked immediately.
"Oh why so angry Mimi? Have you forgotten me so quickly? I just wanted to say hello. I think that I can take at least a hello from..."
-Look,-Mia said interrupting him,-I don't care what you think. Just don't ever call me again understood?
"You can't escape the past Mimi" he said and Mia hung up the phone turning it off. She didn't move for a while until she calmed down and then took a deep breath and exited the room.
-Hey guys,-she said entering the living room,-sorry a call from school I had to answer it.
-Oh well let's leave now. I am really going to be late,- Kate said entering the elevator and pulling the girls in too.
-Bye guys,-they said and the doors of elevator closed.
(Mia)
I arrived to my class ten minutes later than the others but I didn't have time to worry about this. I just sat on my desk acting like I was listening to the lesson but in fact my mind was far away. That voice echoed inside my brain like a painful scream.
"You can't escape the past Mimi" he had said those words ,which I hoped I would never listen. I wanted to cry at those moments but I knew that girls would worry for me. They didn't have to worry for my mistakes, they had their own problems. Mine were mine.
That day hours seemed like seconds and without understanding school finished. At work I couldn't focus, different memories crossed my mind every second messing my thoughts of present with the past. What the hell was I supposed to do now? I felt hurt, tired and most of all afraid, scared.
"Should I talk to Donny for this?" I thought once but then shook my head. No,it definely was very dangerous to get him messed in this problem. Instinctively I went to the bathroom and removed my blouse, slowly and scared I went in front of a mirror and looked to my skin. Those horrible scars that I had to face everyday now looked like horrible seals. Seals that would never disappear. I wore my blouse again and stood in front of a mirror for some moments. When I got out of the bathroom I understood that I had spent an hour inside it. Now everybody had left and I was the only one in the lab. Slowly I sat on the chair to finish some work that was left undone when I felt a cold hand in my neck. I jumped from my chair but didn't turn my head to see who was there. I already knew.
The guy approached me slowly and tried to surround my waist with his hands. I immediately moved away from his touch.
-Hello Mia,-he said to me warmly but I knew better than to be touched from his voice.
-What do you want here Jackson?- I asked with a cold voice.
-I just came here to remind you something,-he said,- as I said in the morning. "You can't escape the past Mimi".
(In the lair)
-That's it,-Icy said getting off the couch,- I am going to go and look for her.
-Icy sit down,-Kate said staying beside Leo,- We are just going to wait. Maybe she hasn't finished her work.
-Yes Kate you are right,-Icy said sarcastically,- Why didn't I think that before. Of course she is still working it's eleven o'clock.
-Icy is right Kate,-Kelly said from the kitchen,-She has never been this late before.
In that moment Don entered the room with some tubes in his hands. He looked up surprisingly when he found all them there.
-Hey guys what's the problem?-he asked.
-It's Mia,-Kate explained,-she is getting late.
Kate passed a fast look to the clock and then turned to Don again.
-Actually a lot late,-she added.
-What?-Don asked terrified already dropping what he had in his hands,-Then what are you doing still here?
-Look,-Icy directed to Kate,-What did I say you?
-I don't know for you,-Don said not letting Kate to answer,-but I am going to go and look for her.
With those words he left everything he had on his hands rushed outside. Icy stood up to follow him but Kate stopped her.
-Icy we better let Don take care of this,-she explained.
-But…
-Icy,-Kate said interrupting her,- can't you understand how he care for her?
Icy shocked at those words .Of course she knew that Don and Mia were close to each-other but could he possibly care for her. Hesitating she took a small look to Raph ,who nodded in silence.
-One hour,-Icy said,-if he don't return with Mia until then we are going to go and look for her ourselves.
Kate nodded sadly."Don please ,do something for her. I know that something is going to happen!"
(Don)
He ran through the roofs to her work. Deep inside he knew something was happening. He knew that Mia was hiding something since she got that call this morning. It was something on her face. She became pale and her hands were trembling but in the end when they returned to the room she seemed alright. Or at least was acting normal but she knew that something was boiling inside her despite the calm face outside.
Finally he arrived at her work place but most of the lights off. Suddenly in the left side of the building he saw her. She was still in her lab coat but wasn't working. He noticed that she wasn't alone somebody was behind her. Don got closer to see with who she was. Then he recognized who was with Mia. Of course he didn't know him but he released that there was a guy standing behind her. He had dark blonde hair tied up in a small ponytail and dark black eyes. A muscular body and a black tattoo in his neck. Surprisingly he seemed familiar to Mia.
Confused Don went even closer but carefully so no one would notice him. Now he was able to listen to their conversation.
"Mia look I made all this way only to come to you again" the guy told her but Mia only turned her back to him.
"Then I suggest you return where you were again." She told him.
"Mia,-the guy said surrounding her waist with his arms,-Mia I came here to say that I am sorry for everything." Now her head raised up.
"Mia I was stupid to treat you in that way. I loved you and I still love you."Now he out a hand in her chin and made her to look him in eye.
"Mia I am sorry" the guy said and started lowering his head.
Don immediately jumped away, his eyes were filled with tears. He seriously loved that girl, he was worried about her. He had thought that maybe…maybe…
But no, while everybody was worried for Mia she was playing with her new boyfriend. Every moment that he spent with her he had seen Mia something more than just a friend. Bit by bit he had started falling for her thinking that she had the same feelings for him. All those words that night at the park. All those foolish things about how she didn't judge people from their appearance. All lies. How could he even be that fool to believe her?
Don brushed his tears away as he made his way to the lair. No way he was giving a single tear anymore. Now the pain was turned into anger. Anger with himself for being so foolish. He rushed in the lair more angry than ever. Everybody was exactly where he had left, worried to death. Kate approached Don immediately after he entered.
-Please tell me she is alright!-she told him.
-Don't worry that much. She is having a great time with her BOYFRIEND.
-Boyfriend?-Icy said shocked getting off the couch with Raph following her,- What the hell are you talking about? Mia has no boyfriend.
-Yes go and tell this to her and that guy with her there,-Don said sarcastically and suddenly Kate froze.
-Kate what's the matter?-Leo asked putting a hand on her shoulder.
-Don…please can you describe this…this guy,-she said in a trembling voice.
-Kate you aren't thinking that…-Kelly asked but the answer was clear on Kate's face.
-Fast Don, describe him!- Kate shouted this time.
-Well he had dark blonde hairs tied up in a pony tail and dark black eyes. Um…he had a muscular body and…oh I remembered. In his neck he had a…
-A small black tattoo,-Kate finished for him.
-Yes exactly, but how do you now that?- Don said surprised.
-Oh no,-Kate said and rushed upstairs to her room.
-Shit,shit this couldn't get worse,- Icy said running to her room with Kelly following her.
-Hey what's happening here?-Mikey asked surprised when he saw three girls coming out of the room with their weapons in hands.
-That jerk,I swear that when I get him in my hands this time I will kill him,- Icy shouted running to the elevator NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO Mikey.
-Yes I am with you, I will teletransport him straight to the moon-Kelly said. They both turned their heads to Kate.
-Don't look at me that way you know I am in too. This time he will suffer from me. Maybe he forgot what I am capable of,-Kate yelled.
-Kate,-Leonardo said getting hold of her shoulders,-what is happening here? Why are you so furious all sudden?
-We will explain everything to you on the way. We should hurry, there is no time,-Now Kate directed to Don,-Mia is in a great danger.
