Broken (a TMNT fanfic) MAJOR EDITING

Change of Plans

April POV

if someone said that being ambushed at school, and on the way home, losing your best friend, and getting kidnapped could all happen in less than 30 minutes, I’d say you were lying. 

But now… I don’t know what to think.

In the past half an hour the guys and I have been throughout hell and back, but Jessie had it worse. She was now dead, and shoved into a sack like a rag doll thats been thrown away. 

I silently let tears flow down my face, chocking back sobs that wanted to so badly come out. The loud chopping sound of the helicopter blades echoed in my ears, reminding me where I am. 

All I wanted right now was for everything to go back to the way it was! Before I needed someone to come protect me above ground before everything went to hell!

God Why did I need to bring Jess above ground! ?

More tears ran down my cheeks as all these thoughts ran through my head. I kept my easy closed but yet I could still tell who was around me. Leo and Raph were on the opposing side of the helicopter, based on the noise level, and Mikey, Donnie and I were on this side.

“April?” I heard Donnie ask.

“Yeah?” I chocked out In-between my silent sobs. He sighed.

“I know that the situation were in isn’t ideal… but I want you to know that everyone makes mistakes.. and when you do… you get the opportunity to learn from them..” He stuttered the next part

“Take me for example.. I learn from my mistakes everyday when I’m working on my projects..”

“What are you trying to say Donnie?” I asked, defeat evident in my voice. 

He shifted awkwardly on the helicopter bench and turned towards me

“Look what I’m trying to say is that don’t be too hard on your self. There are plenty of people willing to do that for you. This isn’t your fault, and love yourself and be proud of everything that you do. Even mistakes mean your trying. There was no way to prevent this and you tried your best to stop it. That’s all that counts.”

I was speechless, but yet, what he said made me feel warm inside. Like we weren’t on our way to Shredder’s lair and Jess wasn’t dead, and things weren’t bad, but in fact great. 

I knew in the back of my mind that life as we know it is screwed from now on, nothing will ever be the same. But I’m getting the chance to have a moment of comfort, and I’m taking it. 

A gentle smile crept its way onto my face, and I looked down, blushing. I seriously need to get this crush over with. He doesn’t like me like that anyway, I’d have no chance.

I felt Donnie put 2 of his 3 finger under my chin and lift my face up gently. 

“You know... some people say that rain falls because the sky can no longer handle it’s heaviness. Just like tears. They fall because the heart can no longer handle the pain. But I want you to know that i’m here for you, whenever you need me.”

My heart gushed. Maybe… just maybe I’m wrong about him.. maybe he does feel the same..

I scooted closer to Donnie and curled up against his chest, enjoying the warmth he gave me.

“Thanks Donnie” I said to him as I cuddled closer. He rested his chin on the top of my head

“No problem princess”

Chase POV

Let me tell you. When you have just captured your worst enemies, and half to listen to your bitch of a sister talk and talk and talk about how we did and how we will be rewarded and other dumb shit like that, is not fun. Well.. the first part is.. but not the talking part.  trust me, i’ve experienced both first hand.
