Rasey One-Shots

Heartbroken (AU)

Author's Note: OH M' GERD, 164 READS?! It may not be that big, but it is to me! So I had to rewrite this almost three times now just to get a good grip of the idea I had. By the way, this is in Raph's point of view.

I've loved him for a long time. He's known this. I thought he loved me too, but when he got with April, I guess I thought wrong. I'm still trying to figure out if he just did this for a joke, if they're just trying to get someone---or some people---jealous, or if they actually got together. April have showed some interest in him before, as has he to her, but they're have also been rumors that he also likes Donnie, which I'm really hoping isn't the case. Donnie also loves April, I know that. Casey has a secret relationship with April, he's only told me, and April's only told Irma. She keeps talking about how they're a cute couple, how she loves watching their relationship grow. I pretend to agree with her, but I really don't. I don't even listen half the time. When I finally got the nerve to tell him what I think about them together, two weeks ago, he lashed out on me. Selfish, ungrateful, hatable, and more, he called me. The last one really stung, followed by him saying that he never cared about me, and saying that he didn't even know why we were friends. He said he hated me, that he could never love anyone like me. Which is why I've been avoiding him. I've been ditching school for the past week after I couldn't stand the way he looked at me every time I passed him. Especially around April. He glares at me, his eyes almost seem to turn red. And around April, he does the same thing, just harder, and then they start whispering to each other.
Today's Friday, luckily the last day of the week. I stayed home, again, having my famly fooled that I'm sick. But, like I have been all week, I just want to avoid Casey. I jump, terrified, when I hear my door creek open. Casey. I relax only slightly, scared he'd still be really ticked off. But for the first time in a couple weeks, he smiles at me. "Hey," he says gently, coming over to my bed. "Hi," I reply, smiling back. I hid my fear pretty well, I'd say. "You also decided to ditch?" I ask him, looking for a small conversation. He laughed a little, "Yeah." We sit in silence for a while, until he decides to break it a few minutes later, "I've been worried about you." I look up at him, shocked. "You have?" I ask him bewildered. He shrugs, "Of course. Why wouldn't I be?" I was confused. He's the one who yelled at me, was he not? I sit back, slumping against the wall. I decide to tell him the truth, it's now or never. "Well..." I start, being careful with my words. I inhale deeply before continuing.
"You did snap at me. That's the reason I've been ditching. I couldn't stand the way you'd look at me in the hallways at school, especially when I cross the looks with what you said. I mean, I know it was two weeks ago, but they hurt. A lot. I know I should let them go, but..." I trail off, a few tears down my cheeks. It didn't take very long for him to pull me closer. I threw my arms around his neck, sobbing into his shoulder. He wraps his arms around my waist, holding me closer. He let me cry for a bit while he rubbed my back. "I'm sorry," he said, "I'm so sorry I hurt you." Then he also said, "This probably doesn't help, but April and I broke up last night." I don't want to tell him, at least not now, but it did a little bit. When I quieted down, I pulled way, quickly wiping my tears with the back of my hand, "Sorry." Casey shook his head, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said what I did." I shook my head this time. "I deserved it," I said, not looking up, "I shouldn't be telling you who and who not to love." He chuckled at this. I look up. "What's so funny?" I ask, curious. "Nothing," he says, shaking his head, "carry on." I look down again, continuing my point. "Well, there are rumors that you like Donnie, and-" he cuts me off. He put his hand on the back of my head, pulling me closer and roughly pressing my lips to his. I'm highly shocked, but I kiss back immediately. We break apart after a few minutes.
He smiles. I smile back. All fear and anger have escaped my body, followed by the questions that were busying my brain. "Thank you," I say, "I needed that." He chuckles, "I know. You're welcome."

Author's Note: Sorry it kinda sucked and sorry it took pretty long. But hey, I said I'd have probably two up by the end of the week, right?
