I sat on the couch, a pair of headphones in my ears and Donnie's computer on my lap. I was scrolling through YouTube silently.
I didn't notice Mikey come into the lair. He poked my shoulder snd I looked up at him, pulling a bud out of my ear.
"What're you doing?" He inquired.
"Listening to music."
"What kind of music?"
I sighed. "I don't know, pop? Rock? Depressing?"
"I don't think that's a style of music."
"I just know that it's depressing."
"Let me listen."
"Fine." He leaned down beside me and put the bud in his ear. I replayed the song.
He stared at the wall in silence. I started singing along and didn't notice him watching.
We got to the end of the song and I stopped, finally noticing him watching me. My cheeks turned a bright red.
"I have an idea."

I slowly ran my hand across the strings of the guitar that I had wrapped around my neck. "Mikey are you sure about this?"
"Positive!" He grabbed the drumsticks for Raph's drum set.
"Okay..." I turned back forward, staring at the wall of Donnie's lab.
His voice lost its spunk. "You ready?"
"Mhm." I nodded.
He counted off and I started playing as he started up the drums. When it was time, I started to sing.

"I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them
I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again."

Mikey joined in right here.

"Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry
Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday.
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world's so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now."

Mikey backed off and I got a bit quieter.

"I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won't know
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home
Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday."

By now I had tears in my eyes and Mikey joined back in softly, soothingly.

"Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
I don't wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna meet your friends
And I don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now..."

I finished the song on my own.

"I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now."

I heard clapping and looked up to see Donnie, Leo and Raph standing with April and Casey, all clapping their hands.
I slowly pulled the guitar off my head, leaning it up against the wall. Mikey came over and set a hand on my shoulder. I began to cry softly.
Mikey pulled me close to him and I buried my face in his plastron. He rocked back and forth slowly.
"It's going to be okay," he whispered.
