Hi everyone! This chapter is going to be about Raph's, Donnie's, Mikey's, and Splinter's point of view, if you haven't already guessed it. It's going to be like a pattern between chapters: Leo's point of view, then his family's point of view, back to Leo's point of view, etc. I'm mainly focusing on Mikey and what he's going through, since I really only focused on Donnie and Raph last time. But don't worry, you'll get your fair share of each of their thoughts! Please review at the end, I've only gotten FOUR so far, and thank you to those who reviewed, but I really want to hear what you think! Read, relax, and enjoy!

Sobbing into his hands was the only thing Mikey could do at that point.

"Wh- why would...R- Raph say that!?" he questioned. "Wha- what if...Le- Leo's really...dead..." he sobbed even harder.

He was too much in his own thought that he didn't notice the hand placed on his shoulder. Mikey jumped when it landed, only to find that it was Raph's hand- wait...Raphael. Him again. Mikey didn't want anything to do with him.

"Get- get away...from me!" Mikey yelled between sobs, as he shifted farther away.

"Mikey, c'mon now. Let-" Raph was cut off by Mikey's screaming.

"N- no Raph! You c'- c'mon! 'Leo c- could b- be dead for a- all we know'? Seriously!" he screamed at his brother. "I- I don't w- want to bel- believe it..."

Raph moved closer to his youngest brother, but Mikey retaliated even more.

"Please, Mikey..." Raph started.

"No!" Mikey shouted even louder.

"Raph..." Donatello cut in. Raph turned around to face his other brother, showing him his face full of defeat. Donatello noticed this, and calmly said, "Raph, let me handle this, oaky?"

Donnie didn't mean for it to sound like an insult, but Raph took it that way.

"Fine! Fine, Donnatello! I'll just go and...and..." Raph was at a loss for words. "I'll go and watch TV then, ya happy now?" as Raph turned and ran away swiftly back into the lair.

"No, Raph! I- I didn't mean it like that!" Donnie shouted, but Raph was already in the lair, where he couldn't have heard him, Donnie thought.

"Good..." Mikey said, almost in a whisper. Donnie jumped, for he forgot his younger brother had problems of his own right now. "I'm happy Raph is upset because- because I hate him!"

Donnie then knelt down beside his youngest brother, and put his hand on his shoulder.

"No, you don't, Mikey" Donnie tried to reassure him."Raph, he was just angry earlier, that's all. He didn't mean what he said, he just-" again Donnie was cut off.

"No! Of course he meant what he said!" Mikey shouted, becoming so full of rage that he stopped crying. "No, he meant it, all right. He said it loud and clear! 'Leo is probably dead for all we know'! That's what he said!"

Donnie felt helpless when he looked into his youngest brother's baby-blue eyes. He couldn't help but feel sorry for him, but as much as he tried to come up with some way to comfort him, it just failed. He couldn't bear seeing Mikey this way.

"No, Mikey..." Donnie started.

Mikey was so infuriated, it felt like his head was going to explode. He didn't know why Donnie was defending Raph, after what he said. He thought Donnie had more sense in him than that. His older brothers are always like this to him. Raph tells the truth the hard way, while Donnie tries to be the good guy, but always ends up telling him the same thing. He's sick of it. All of it. Whenever something bad happens, this is what comes out of it. He wants to be done...just done.

These thoughts were rumbling around his head as he sat there, motionless.

But another thought tugged at his mind. Leo. Leo surely wouldn't be like this to him right now. But, unfortunately, Leo wasn't here right now. That was the problem. This is why everything was like this, why Raph is so angry and why Donnie is so- so... He couldn't find the word. He couldn't find any bad word to describe Donnie. His older brother was trying to help him, but Mikey didn't want to believe it. He didn't want to believe someone was willing to care for him right now. All he wanted to do was get out of there as fast as he could.

But he still couldn't get Leo off of his mind. He needed his eldest brother now more than ever. He loved him dearly and wanted him back. Leo wold understand him. He would get what Mikey was going through, despite his other older brothers. They just didn't get it. Why is Leo not here? What happened to him? Why did he not come back?...Then Raph's comment flooded poor Mikey's mind again.

'Leo is probably dead for all we know'! Leo is probably dead...dead...Mikey thought.

No, Leo is not dead...he can't be. Stupid Raphael! Mikey hated his other brother more than ever now. 'Leo is probably dead..' Mikey thought Raph had no right to say that. He had no right to say that about Leo, their team leader, and their oldest brother. Leo's still out there, and Mikey could feel it. He had to find him. He had to find his older brother, to fix everything. Most importantly, to fix this broken family.

Then all of a sudden, Mikey pushed Donnie out of the way and headed up a pipe line, onto the surface and into the night.

"Mikey! Mikey! Come back!" Donnie yelled after him. But it was too late. Mikey had already reached the surface.

Raph suddenly then came barreling down the pipe going after Mikey, for he stayed at the edge of the entrance to the lair, and heard the whole thing.

I know this chapter is also a bit short, but if I kept going, I would give away a surprise I realized I should save for a little bit later! I hoped you liked it, and I really wanted this chapter to be mostly about Mikey. Tell me what you all think of it, and I want to thank you for the reviews I've gotten so far! I loved them, so thanks! But don't worry, I won't leave you all hanging. The plot twist will come up soon...
