Tony and I had just come back from coffee and I was already feeling more at ease. The two of them seemed to make sure I was smiling and didn't bring the phone up again once.

Once we got back, Tony had to start working so I made my way back to my apartment and turned on the TV to a random channel. A colourful intro started playing with loud action music to accompany it. I grabbed the remote to change the channel when the title popped up.

It was Space Hero's.

"Oh..Leo's show," I spoke to myself. It probably sounded more sad than anything. I don't know why I'm getting myself so worked up and confused about these guys....well actually turtles.

Man my life had really gone from ordinary to wacky in one night. I dropped the remote and focused on the screen.

"Captain Ryan! What do we do!" The space cadet asked. He got a slap to the face before the captain began to make a corny heroic speech.

I slumped into the couch and began being absorbed by the cushions. A habit I had taken a liking to. I half watched the screen and half went into my own world. I would've stayed in the trance from a while if it hadn't been for my phone lighting up. I groaned and grabbed it, fingers crossed that it wasn't one of the boys.

Oh, it was Penelope

P: hunny, what's really going on? Why don't you want to talk to the boys anymore?

I suppose I should tell her...well at least part of the truth.

Me: We sorta began talking more but then something happened and they changed, got really protective.

P: I hate it when boys think that they own you!

Me: it wasn't really like that..more like they didn't want me to get hurt and they went to extreme lengths.

P: I'm not taking their side but it sounds like they had good intensions. Shame they took it too far.

Me: oh! And guess the best part

P: What's that?

Me: they all know each other!

P: No way!! You're joking right??

Me: I wish I was. They are actually all brothers.

P: OMG! how did you even get yourself into this situation? They better not make it a competition. You poor thing. I should have put a shot of alcohol in your coffee instead of flavouring

Me: lord knows I could've used it. I don't know if I should message them anymore.

P: do they make you happy?

Do they make me happy? That is the real question here huh?

Me: when they aren't confusing me or yelling at each other...yeah.

P: if I was you, I would text them. Everyone has problems and maybe it takes a bit to see past them. They sound like they want the best for you so stick it out just to see if they change for the better.

Me: When did you get so wise?

P: Oh hunny, you flatter me. I hate to leave but technically I'm still working. Talk you later and good luck xx

Me: Thanks P. I'll let you work now. Cya x

I sighed and glared up at the TV. The show was still on and it seems like they saved the day. I glanced back down at my phone and held my breath as I tapped on the C.C.L and into contacts.

I don't want to make a big deal over this. Maybe I'm the only one who is freaking out over nothing. I scrolled through and saw the three names come up.

Who to text. Who to text.

Leo would probably try and call me instead of just text and I don't really think I'm up for a call.

Donnie would probably answer right away and we would end up in a long conversation about computers. Not really feeling that either.

The only one left is...Mikey. I don't have Raph's number and I doubt he would really want to give it to me anyways.

I hover my finger over Mikey's name before eventually tapping it, bringing up the chat zone.

Here we go...

Me: Hey Mikey. How's it going? Sorry about leaving when you guys came back, we didn't really get to hang out. Is everything okay over there?

I bit my lip as I pressed send. I watched the screen and waited to see if he would read it.

Nothing so far. I guess I should be happy that I don't have to have a big conversation just yet. I don't know what I should say. What does one say in this situation?

Oh hey guys! Just wanted to tell you that I think it was pretty hot when you tried to protect me but like, chill the fuck out. No need for such extreme situations. Oh and if you guys ever got mad at me I would probably die. Just saying.

I think not.

I turned my phone off and focused on the show in front of me. It was nearly over by now and it seems like everyone is praising the Hero's for all they have done. Can this really be his favourite show? Seems predictable, but I guess that's what my life could need right now.

Mikey's POV

I had to go out to avoid my gloomy brothers. Raph was okay I think but he spent the day in the dojo so I don't really know.

I had just come back from skating the sewers and had gone to the kitchen to get some pizza and feed ice-cream kitty. I grabbed some old pizza and opened the freezer to give it to her. I then sat down and began to eat the rest myself.

Jelly beans and anchovies! My favourite!

I finished it off in less then a minute thanks to my sweet skills, then grabbed my phone to try and listen to music. It was then that I noticed a message from that dating app we had. I quickly opened it and I froze.

(Y/n) messaged me!!!

I spun around the kitchen in joy before suddenly coming to a halt. Should I tell the others? I know they are concerned right now. I looked at my phone and then to the other room.

If I look at the message and it isn't important than they don't have to know. I quickly came to this reasoning and began to read the message.

She is asking about how we are. I can fix everyone's mood if I message back correctly! Then the guys will be so happy and we can get pizza afterwards. I first bumped the air before sitting down and concentrating.

My next text could make or break our future with this girl. It's all up to me now!
