Chapter 6 {Awkward}

Important Keys:

(Y/n) = Your name

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Leo's POV~

This is going to get awkward, I thought. 

"Hey guys Me and Casey er-" April stopped short of her greeting after seeing (Y/n)

"uuuhhhhh" Mikey looked at them panicked.

We all were silent. I glanced at (Y/n) their face showed no emotion, then I looked back at April and Casey, they looked like they saw a ghost. April glanced at Donnie for an explanation.

"O-okay we can explain" Donnie said nervous holding his hands up.

"Guys They are the one that saw me, and Casey enter the sewers." April whispered a little loudly to the others.

"All I saw that night was a clear night sky and you two walking down the sidewalk" (Y/n) said, I glanced at her she was lying, but why would she lie about not seeing them?

"Er uh huh yeeeessss right! Leo, can we talk to you?" April said nervously glancing at (Y/n)

I nodded, got up, and followed April and Casey to the living room Donnie followed close behind me.

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked.

"We did make them promise to basically not tell anyone we went into the sewers," April confessed.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Donnie asked looking slightly hurt.

"We didn't think they would keep that promise!" April said rubbing the back of her neck.

"That explains why they were lying about seeing you guys" I said putting my hand on my chin thoughtfully, they seem like a trustworthy person, yet they trust no one, why? I thought.

"How could you tell they were lying?" Casey asked just trying to be a part of the conversation.

"Body language" I replied simply.

"But I didn't see them tense up or anything" Donnie said confused.

"Because you were further from them" I continued wanting to change the subject, "What is more important is will they keep us a secret?"

"Right," Donnie said shaking his head to clear it.

"They seem to be able to keep a secret depending on how they reacted with the incident." April said. 

"They as tense as a stretched-out rubber band though," Casey spat.

"I noticed," I said cooly.

"Seriously, when we helped them with that bully, I swear they looked at us like we were going To bully them," Casey continued.

"Bully?" Donnie and I questioned at the same time.

Before April could explain we hear a yelp of pain coming from the lab. We rushed in to see...

~ (Y/n)'s POV (and a little before Leo came in) ~

I was sitting up at the moment and Raph and I were glaring daggers at each other, and Mikey seemed pretty nervous.

"Hey, why don't we just chill for a sec," Mikey said trying to calm both of us down. 

I stopped glaring at Raph and looked at Mikey to show I was listening to him. Mikey smiled warmly and I couldn't help but give a ghost of a smile back, he was just so sweet. Raph scoffed and rolled his eyes. I don't trust him he doesn't trust me chaos is bound to happen.

"Still don't know how some as small as you got the attention of the Kraang," Raph hissed still glaring at me. I brushed his insult off, I got a lot of practice doing that from home.

"Dude, what did they do to you?" Mikey said a little aggravated, which surprised me, because he didn't seem to be one to get angry much.

"Existed" Raph growled at Mikey.

"Fun to know," I mumbled, a little ticked off.

"What?" Raph turned his glare to me; I knew better than to say, 'so this is what Leo meant by: he has anger issues'.

"You heard me" I challenged holding my ground.

"Grrr," He took a threatening step forward.

"Raph calm down!" Mikey said getting in-between me and Raph

"I swear they say one more thing and I'll skin them" Raph hissed, I felt a little scared.

"One more thing" I mumbled, Raph looked at me like he both wanted to laugh and rip me to shreds.

"Pft, *cough* er uh" Mikey tried to cover up his laughter with a fake cough.

I put my hands on my head and put my elbows on my knees, "I wish Jewel was here" I whispered quiet enough to where you couldn't make out what I said.

"That. Is. it." Raph growled dangerously and took another step towards me only to be blocked by Mikey.

"Move" Raph growled.

"Bro, don't" Mikey said seriously.

I looked up when I heard Mikey yelp in pain and saw him on the other side of the room. Raph stomped over to me and grabbed my wrist harshly, making me wince in pain. He growled glaring into my eyes I stared back a little bit of fear showing in my eyes but inside I was panicking my mind jumping from thought to thought.

I was right they do want to hurt me.

Is Mikey okay!?

Why is he mad?!

What if he heard me?

What if they kill me?

Mom and dad would be scolding me for even existing.

Is it just Raph that wants to hurt me?

I wish jewel could tell me what to do.

Just then Leo burst in the, Donnie, April, and Casey close behind.

"RAPH!" Leo scolded bolting over and pulling Raphs hand off my wrist.

"Mikey! Are you alright?" April rushed over to a dizzy seeming Mikey.

"Ammmmm very toast." Mikey replied slurring a little and pushing himself up.

"Please don't tell me he has a concussion again" Donnie facepalmed.

"I think he is just a little dizzy" April replied, she then turned to me, Leo, and Raph

"RAPHIEL HAMATO WHAT THE SHELL!" Leo shouted pushing Raph away from me and staying between me and Raph. Raph looked a little taken a back at his full name being used.

"They-"
