"Fine"

"Fine" Chapter 3

Well, this day can't get any worse than it already is, first, your boyfriend breaks up with you, you're less than one hour to curfew, and now you're getting mugged. This day just keeps getting better and better.

You feel frozen in time. There's a guy with a gun standing two feet away from you. This has never happened to you before. It's the most shocking experience that you've ever had to deal with in your life. You think to yourself that the only thing that can top this in the rating of scariness is...

Clowns.

All of a sudden, Mikey stands up, he violently yanks his nunchucks out of his holsters. His head is down in a creepy way. He says in his stupid Batman voice. "You've just messed with the wrong people, buddy."

Your eyes widen and your heart pounds with fear. You have never seen Mikey like this before. It's kinda creepy how he's being so aggressive. You haven't seen him in years. You can't help but wonder if he still likes you. This uncertainty is a first for you.

Another memory strikes you like a baseball to the head. One day, when you were young, a group of boys was chasing you down the street a few minutes after school.

"Leave me alone! Why do you always pick on me?!" you screamed behind you.

Realizing that you were supposed to meet Mikey after school, you turned and ran into an alleyway.

"Mikey! Open the manhole!"

Not getting a response, you tried to lift the manhole cover by yourself, but it was too heavy. You looked behind you to see the group of boys following you. Your eyes widened as you stepped back, not looking where you were going. All of a sudden, you felt something hit your back.

It was the wall.

"Damnit," you said in your head. You could feel the color drain from your face like water from a faucet. You moved your feet back, hoping the wall would move, but it didn't.

You remembered that your mom gave you a phone for your birthday. She'd only gotten it for you because she was sick of not knowing where you were after school.

You took out your phone and started to type in Mikey's number. Just as you clicked the call button, one of the boys ripped the phone from your hand and tossed it aside. The boy, however, forgot to hang up before tossing it away.

Mikey looked down to see that his t-phone was ringing.

"Hello?" Mikey answered in a confused kind of way. He heard you screaming as you were getting beat up by the group of boys.

"HELP ME!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!"

He nearly dropped the phone as he heard this, but didn't let it drop onto the ground fearing Donnie would kill him if he broke his t-phone.

Mikey got up with a quiet rush, not wanting to disturb his brothers with their meditation. Plus, he didn't want Splinter to find out that he was going to the surface.

He grabbed his nunchucks off the weapons rack and snuck out of the layer.

Like a ninja.

---

You were on the ground being kicked in every place that you could imagine. You saw one of the boys; shockingly, it was Todd. He was the leader of the gang. He took out a- pocket knife. your eyes widened as you saw it.

"No - no, please - please don't. Don't use that!" you screamed again as you were being cut. Todd cut you many times in many different places. Your hands, your feet, your arms, and your legs.

Then, the manhole flew open and landed near the boys' feet. Before it hit the ground, Todd took a swing and cut your wrists. You screamed in pain. You felt one of the other boys lift you up and toss you aside like an old used rug.

---

"[Name] NO!" Mikey said in shock, he whipped out his nunchucks and said, "Touch her again, I dare you."

---

As soon as he said that, one of the boys walked over to you and kicked you in the head as hard as he could and knocked you out.

Everything went fuzzy. You tried to stay awake the best you could, afraid to close your eyes for fear you'd never wake up. All you could see were blurs of colors. The red blur of Todd's shirt, and the orange and green blur of Mikey.

Your vision finally cleared up. You felt something running down your arms. It was blood from your wrists. You wanted to faint, but you didn't want to die. You tried to stand up but just ended up sitting up in the corner, trying to stop the bleeding from your wrists. You saw Mikey fighting the boys and he was winning. You wanted to cheer him on, but with all the blood loss, you could barely stay awake to even tell what was going on

---

Mikey was badly hurt. Not as bad as you were, but hurt. He took down all the boys except for one. Todd. Mikey charged toward him and whipped his Nunchuk around to hit him, but was deflected by his knife. Mikey tried and failed to hit Todd. Then he swung one and was deflected, however, he sneakily drew the other and snapped it at his legs, this time succeeding. Todd began to fall. As he was falling, Mikey flicked his first nunchuck at his head. The impact knocked him out and left a nasty cut on his forehead.

---

Mikey tried to wake you up from your doze. You were asleep but still alive. He carefully picked you up, bridal style, and said, "It's ok, Donnie's gonna fix you up. Just don't die on the way there."

---

You now start to come back to reality and to your present 16-year-old self. When you are able to see again, the man with the gun is now two inches from your face and has a knife to your throat. He isn't holding the gun anymore. You see Mikey bleeding out on the ground. You are about to scream in horror.

"Don't say a fucking word bitch or else I'll slit your fucking throat," he says in a vicious voice.

You start to tear up. Not knowing what's going to happen to you. For once in your life, you are actually praying to God. Praying that this man doesn't kill you. Or maybe even worse.

"You go ahead and cry, but if I hear a fucking word out of you, you're fucking dead bitch," he says in a quiet yet aggressive voice.

You see someone walking down the street next to the alleyway. They almost ignore the alley, but before they leave, you see them look right at you and do a double take.

It was April O'Neil.

You look back at the man in front of you, fearing that he might see April and possibly kill her too. You look at April, then to Mikey, then back to the man in front of you.

"What the fuck do you keep looking at bitch?" he says. He starts to turn around, and you have to think fast. If he sees April, you're dead.

"Why are you doing this? What do you want from me?" you ask, trying to keep him looking at you.

"What the fuck did I tell you about keeping your fucking mouth shut?!" he says, pushing the knife harder against your throat. As he says that, a loud bang can be heard within the alleyway. April had found a metal pipe and conked it over his head, the force causing him to bleed.

"That should take care of him," April says in her badass voice. You leap into her arms, thankful that God has heard your prayers.

Horrified, you realize that with all that is going on, you forgot about Mikey.

"MIKEY!!" you scream, tears running down your face like a waterfall. You go over to his side, lifting his head up and putting it in your lap.

"No - no please - please don't die on me, Mikey. PLEASE!" you scream in pain and fear. "I'll get you to Donnie, he can help you!" you say to him, hoping that Mikey can still hear you.
