"I'll Never Fall in Love Again" (Jonatello)

The Heart Break

Donnie's POV

Today is the day I finally let her know my feelings! I take a moment to relax myself, planning out any possibilities that might happen, any responses, and how to cope if she says no. A sigh would escape me as I finally get the courage to go find her, I walked out of my room and head to the living room where I seen my brother Leo sitting and watching TV, I spoke, "Hey, have you seen April?" Jeez, just saying her name makes me blush! Leo didn't turn to look at me, but he did take time to respond, "Pretty sure she went to have a talk with Splinter in the kitchen." I didn't want to bother her and Splinter, so I just decided I'll wait till I get the chance, "Okay, thanks Leo." He just gave a small "Mhm" and left it at that. I decided to wait for her, this gave me enough time to think of how I wanted to say it.

Soon April came out, I looked over to her and waved her over, she came over to me quickly. She spoke with a smile, "Need something?" I looked a bit away, "Y-yeah, can I speak to you privately?" April gave a nod and I led her into my lab. Once inside we stared at each other, April spoke, "So, what's up?" I blush a bit, feeling quite nervous, but I smiled at her as I spoke, "I-I've been wanting to tell you for.. quite a while.. uhm-.. April I really like you! M-more than a friend!" I was expecting any response, but my heart shattered at the one I hadn't even thought of, hers.. "WHAT! THAT'S DISGUSTING! ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU'RE A MUTANT! I'M A HUMAN! THAT'S GROSS!" I froze, I felt my heart shattered, she stormed off, I tried to call out for her but my voice was too shaky, "A-April wait..." I just couldn't believe this, did she really think I was that bad? I should have guessed she'd react like that.... I am just a mutant after all...

I will never fall in love again.
