Hey guys, I know I haven't been writing stories lately, but recently I've been getting a lot of people saying this story needs work. It goes too fast and there's not a lot of emotion. So by me feeling bad about this shitty writing and by me wanting to redeem myself, here's a more dramatic, heart breaking story. I present to you: "What Happened To the Happy Turtle".
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The words that were said, they hurt. They cut like knives, stabbing into vulnerable parts of myself. I wish I could turn back time and just keep my mouth shut. My stupid fucking mouth shut. All of this would've been avoided, god how I wish I could turn back time. Raphie says he's sorry, I believe him, but it doesn't change what happened. I stare at myself in the mirror wondering why I'm still alive. My bros' think that I'm okay, but honestly I don't know anymore. I keep going Day by Day wondering when my life will be taken from me. Hoping it'll be soon.
Honestly I wish the Foot would've killed me. It'd save me so much grief. My bros' act like their walking on egg shells around me. I hate it so much. I know I'm weak, but I'm not like a glass figurine ready to fall over with a single poke. I JUST WANNA DIE! Everyone is trying to help me, but it's too late. They can't save me... no one can.

I wake to the sound of my annoying alarm. I groan as I hit the snooze button for the billionth time. I hear rustling in the kitchen, Donnie trying to stop Leo from breaking the toaster again. Usually this would make me laugh, usually. I get up and get dressed into sweats and tie my signature bandana around my head. Slowly I walk out, heads instantly turn to me.

"Morning Mikester! How'd you sleep?" Raphie says cheerfully. See what I told you about them walking on egg shells?!
"Good..." I say in a fake cheerful voice.
"Good, I made some toast. It's a little burnt..." Leo cringed at the word burnt.
I laugh, it hurts almost, "Thanks Leo I Appreciate the effort..."
Sensei walks into the room, "good morning my sons', it's time for renshū."

I sighed, This was going to be a long day...
