Hey guys! I'm officially back from vacation which is nice. I cooked this up, the thought alone would not leave my head…sooo here it is! Thank you to everyone who is currently supporting my stories, I appreciate it so much :)! Please review!

*I own nothing*

TMNT

Never take time for granted

Or at least that's what my brothers said

Its funny, cause I didn't use to think that was all true

But now

Every word

Phrase

Meaning

That come out of their mouths

Are priceless

Its sad that it took Donnie bleeding out

Raph being unconscious

Leo close to death

To make me realize that life isn't some trade market

You can't just trade life for death

Or death for life

Life is like a game

People will either win or lose

And it all happens no matter what

And just like a game

Life will eventually end for everyone

Nobody can cheat death

They can try but eventually they'll lose to

Even as some kind of mutant

I'll eventually die to

And eventually my brothers will to

With or without me

I guess I shouldn't be so surprised

I'm the klutz

Knucklehead

Who almost got my brothers killed

One wrong move was all it took for some bad dudes to seize the opportunity

We were extremely outnumbered

We fought

Slashed

Punched

But it wasn't enough

Eventually my brothers started to go down one by one

Till I was the only one standing

Nobody needed common sense to know that I couldn't win this fight

Not alone

I dragged all my brothers out by the arms

Checked their breathing

Found out some nasty things that could prevent life

It was all so scary

I don't really remember much after that

I don't want to

Being alone with bleeding out brothers

And no medical knowledge

Was absolutely terrifying

I screamed

Cried

Sobbed

All at once

It was the only thing that prevented me from insanity

It wasn't long before humans started to show up

I had to get me and my brothers out of there

Using all my strength and will left

I managed to drop each brother into the sewers

Then came the hard part

Well, it wasn't all that difficult to carry each of my brothers to the lair

One by one

But the guilt and internal struggle that came after that

Oh boy

Master Splinter tried to ease my anxiety

But everything felt fuzzy

I was scared

Terrified

Horror-stricken

Petrified

Frightened

Of being alone

Being afraid that my brothers

Could just vanish

Disappear

It doesn't take much for the body to completely shut down

Their sprits could easily just leave

Then I would be alone

My fear would be a reality

All the training

Memories

Passions

Would feel like a stab in the back

Then tears would soon follow

A life without my older brothers just didn't seem possible

That's what sucked about life

It had a way of turning things around

The next few days were hard

Sleepless nights

At all hours of the day

I would stay with my brothers

Not wasting a single minute

They would all live

And that's all that mattered

When my brothers could eventually move around

I adjusted to many roles

The maid

The cook

The entertainer

And although this all felt good

Something was missing

My brothers were safe

But why did I feel so empty

Maybe it was the fear of being alone

Or wanting to do more

But maybe it was the realization of reality

That any moment

Somebody could leave someone's life

That time isn't something to be taken advantage of

It never was

TMNT
