Constellation

Chapter 10: Left Alone

April POV
I started to wake up. It was a struggle to remember what happened at first, but then I remembered. I apparently got into a fight with Tessa's mom, who I thought died on Thalia Natui. I rubbed my head as I sat up and hopped off the floating table, where I exited the infirmary. I made my way to the bridge, where I saw Donnie, Tessa, Mikey, and the Professor. Raph and Leo didn't return yet. I hate to admit it, but sometimes I was starting to get used to them not being here anymore. Ever since they blamed Tessa, I've been extremely mad at them. "Hey guys," I said, rubbing my eyes. "Hey, April!" Tessa greeted. "Hi, April," Donnie said as he turned around. "Hey April!" Mikey exclaimed with a grin across his face, as usual. The Professor turned around, "Oh Hello, April!" He greeted. "How are you feeling?"
"I feel much better," I replied. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Tessa exit the room. Were those tears? I thought to myself. I shrugged. Something was off, it's like I didn't care, it's hard to explain. Donnie was glancing at something out of the window. I walked up next to him, "What is it?" I asked. Donnie pointed to quite a large asteroid directly in our path. I briskly walked over and alerted the Professor, who quickly took evasive action. The worst to come out of it was a damaged engine, but according to the Professor, it was an easy fix.
Tessa POV
I briskly walked back to my room, feeling tears starting to well up in my eyes. I sat myself down on the bed, glaring into the part of the room where my mother stepped out of. I don't know how to explain it, but I just felt alone ever since that incident happened. I feel like it's my fault for everything that had happened while they took me in. It was MY mother who brought the guards and attacked the ship. It was MY powers which injured Leo and badly damaged the Professor. It was ME who lost control of MY powers. Everything has always been on me. Maybe Raph was right. I am dangerous. I wish I was born like everyone else on my planet. Easy powers to control.  I sighed as I put my hands to the side of my head. I didn't realize I started to cry until I put my hands up to my face. Once I calmed myself down, I stood up and walked back into the bridge, where no one seemed to notice me come on. Everyone was either talking to each other or staring out into space. Even April didn't seem to notice me, which upset me the most because I got really close with her. "Hey," I greeted, but no one seemed to take notice or even greet me back. I sighed, before walking back through the corridors of the ship. I sat against the wall in one of the corridors, and used my magic to form a sphere. I snapped my fingers, and the sphere started to look like Earth. Seeing Earth seemed to calm me, despite me never stepping foot on Earth in my life. That would be a pretty nice planet to hide out on. It's beautiful, and my mother would never expect me to go to a planet with beings that have such limited power compared to ours. I sat there, putting my hands over my face as I started to cry. I don't even know if I'm wanted on this ship anymore. I don't seemed to be noticed. Maybe I'm not worth their time. I wrapped my arms around my knees as the tears poured down my face. I heard Casey walk around the corner, but he just walked past me despite looking at me. I heard robotic feet follow after, but when he noticed me he paused. I looked up, seeing the Professor looking at me. "Are you alright?" He asked. I just shook my head and lowered it, continuing to cry until I felt a robotic hand on my shoulder. I glanced at the Professor. "Is something bothering you?" He asked. "It's just...no one seems to notice me anymore..every time I walk in no one even—"I start before I begin to feel tears pour down my face. I noticed the Professor's eye screens go sad before he hugged me. I hesitated before I hugged him back, not wanting my powers to suddenly get worse and I hurt him again. I feel more arms around me, glancing up to see April. "Of course we notice you," April said. I hug both April and the Professor tightly. "Thanks.." I muttered, before April and the Professor are both thrown into the wall. April is knocked out, and the Professor is on his knees. "No one should notice you," Raph growled. I gulped.
