Rejected

Part Four:

Jelousy

Raph's P.O.V

I yawned as I stretched my stiff limbs out.

My head hurt like shell, and it felt like...oh.

Leo ,fight ,rejection...

They all hit me like an anvil to the head when I remembered them.

You know, somehow I felt relieved that I told him...a burden was lifted from my shoulders and my mind wasn't as occupied as before .

But...

It was replaced with a shaky feeling in my whole being and a numbness I couldn't explain.

How would I face him today?

How can I look straight into his eyes, after last night...?

How would he treat me?

There's only one way to find out...

Walking carefully I made my way to the kitchen, catching Mikey cooking breakfast for us.

Maybe I'll have to distract myself from the pain...

"Morning Dude! Slept well?"

she said in her always cheerful tons.

"Guess so"

I replied calmly.

I waited till the rest of my family came in and took their usual seats, greeting me.

All except Leo.

I pretended I didn't care, and I was extra careful not to make any eye contact with him,oh how I wish...

"Ahem"

I looked up to see Sensei with a stern look on his face, clearly wanting to make an announcement.

"We have special guests today"

Special? As if Usagi's coming over again or-

"I have talked with Leonardo and confirmed that miss Karai and Chaplin are no longer a threat to us and they will be coming in order to help us defeat the shredder once and for all-"

His rambling was cut short when I choked on the pancake in my loudly I finally swallowed and, faced sensei that now had a hard glare on his face. Okay, what did I do now?!

"And you, Raphaella, you will have to make sure you won't cause any trouble while they are here"

I frowned. I'm not a little kid I know how to behave myself!

"I'm perfectly capable of controlling my temper Sensei and you no longer have to treat me like a little kid!"

I said angrily, leaving the room immediately.

'It's all your fucking fault Leo!'

I tried hard to remain my composer when Leo stared at Karai in that way...god he's a fucking idiot!

There we were, sitting in the living room area and planning what to do. Sensei even invited April and Casey.I tried hard not to yawn when Leo started talking about strategies again. Is he boring or what?!

But again, his voice is so soft and amazing I'd love to listen to him all day, even if I have no idea what's he talking about...oh here we go again...

"I think it's best for us to go on patrol for now, so we can have some exercise" Leo finished and I snapped out of my 'Dream Zone'.

I observed Karai giving Leo a sly smile of agreement and Leo blushing in return.

Then it happened.

I felt blood boiling in my veins and the sudden urge to crush Karai like my punching bag. That woman really manages to get under my skin or what?!

Every ones attention turned to me, as I realized I released a deep growl.

"What did I tell you my daughter? You should-"

"I'M FINE!"

I exploded with rage as I spoke.

Suddenly my gaze fell on Leo's and I saw something in his eyes.

Disappointment.

My heart stopped, filling with sadness and pain as tears started to sting my eyes.

I gulped the heavy lump in my throat as I tried my best not to remember last night's events.

No such luck.

Again, I tried my best and took a few deep breath to calm myself down. I probably didn't need another lecture of anger management and mostly another disappointed look from Leo.

Jumping on the random rooftops I let the wind run past my long black hair. New York City might be very violent and dangerous, but I love it just like that.

'But not as much as Leo though ...'

Stupid considence.

"We need to split up"

We all stopped running and waited to hear him out.

"Karai you go with me, Mikey you're with April and Chaplin with Raph."

What?!

Woah woah woah, since when he doesn't team me up with himself?

Doesn't he know that I might jump into fights an-

"You've got a problem Raph?" I look at him confused, finally realising I was sending Karai a death glare.

Oh so you're worried about her fragile feelings, aren't you?!

"No, everything's just fine" I hiss at him and his fucking 'Ignorance Strategy' to me. Turning around I leave with Chaplin while forming a plan in my head. I'm so not gonna let Little Miss Shredder play with him let alone ending up with my Leo.
