Donatello, I Can't

Chapter 1

~Lilly's POV~

  I ran out of the comic book store at which I work. I ran down the streets with tears running down my face. I started to fly and thought to myself, Better go a bit higher so I don't run into anyone I know.

  I flew at rooftop level. I cursed when I had to fly faster because I saw April on the rooftops. I flew into my appartment window and sat down on my bed after closing the window. I couldn't take it anymore. I got up and locked all entry points. I pulled the blinds closed. I changed into a nightgown with an open back for my wings.

  I opened my drawer and pulled out  pencil, paper, and scissors. I wrote on the paper, I am sorry Donatello. I breathed out and put the scissors to my wrist. " I wonder if it really works?" I gave a chuckle and breathed out before moving the scissor blade across my skin. I winced, but then smiled. It felt, good. I took it to my wrist again and again. After what I counted was thirteen deep cuts, I moved to the other and repeated the movements. I put the scissors in the drawer after wiping them off.

I wrapped my arms in gauze and medical tape. I did them neatly and started crying as the words from earlier screamed in my head. Fat,ugly, slut. That's what they called me. They called Donatello my pimp. I didn't want to bring him into this. I didn't come over because I had to "work".

  I heard a knock on my door. I asked, " Who is it?"

  I sniffed, " Are you crying Lilly? April said she saw you rushhing past over the rooftops."

  I groaned, " I forgot to water some plants. I have to change, I will be right out."

  I heard him lean against the door. " Okay, I'll wait."

  I put on  my brown gloves so he couldn't see the bandages. I put on a sleevless short dress and brown long socks. I put on white flats/slippers. ( The book cover)

  I opened the door after washing my face. Donny smiled. I smiled uneasily, " Are you sure your okay?"

  I nodded and looked down. He didn't press but sighed and motioned for me to lead.

~Time skip~

  I walked out the coffee shop door. Donny was paying fo the drinks. I walked just out of the range of the door. I turned my head and fell after running into someone. All my coffee went don my dress, staining it brown. I looked up and was horrified to see her, Emma.

  Emma smirked, " Well. Well. Well. What do we have here? An ugly little slutty ass fairy. Oh no! She got coffee stains all over her BIG white dress. HA!"

  I got up and tried to run but ran into Donny. I looked to see his reddish eyes looking painfully into my teary eyes.

  He growled and looked up sternly, " I don't know who you are or what relations you have with Lilly, but if I ever find out that you talked to her like that again, I will make for damned sure you regret every last word."

  She just put her hand on her hip," You and what army?"

  She turned into a giant cat and towered about three feet over him, withdrawing her claws. He pulled his bo staff out of its sheath and swung at her legs quicker than a rattle snake's strike. She fell on her ass and looked up horrified.

  He smirked and pulled me with his left arm into his grasp protectively. He then remarked, " Me and my family of Ninjutsu masters. I am sure you know April O' Neil and Saphira Brightscales. Now a Hamato. THAT...army."

  She got up and dusted herself off. She leaned in close, " He won't always be there to protect you bitch."

  A tear rolled down my cheek and my heart slowed. Donny growled and pushed her back. He pointed his staff at her. He squz it and his blade came centimeters from her pink kitty nose. She squeeked and sashayed off.

  I fell to the ground in tears. Donny followed me, " How long has this been going on? Who is she?"

  I sucked up, " My high school bully Emma. She used to bully me and Saphira in eighth grade. Saphira was no longer her victim when she punched Emma in the nose Sophmore year. Saphira moved here after that when her dad got a job in New york. After she left Emma took it upon herself to be my bully and did so all through high school. She moved after graduation. I moved here thinking to start a comic book store and she was my first customer three years ago. She has been harrassing me for three years. But I couldn't stand her making me a fool in front of you. That's why I freaked out."

  He looked into my eyes and hugged me tight. After I finished crying, he took me to the lair. He slept at his lab desk. I fell asleep on a medical table while watching him.
