Chapter Text
It was only a few nights after the invasion. Splinter was getting sick. Really. Really sick.
April was always over now. Constantly helping splinter with his needs since he had been bedridden due to his illness.
'He was never around anyway, so what's the difference'
Leo shook the thought. This was going to drive him insane. He let out a dry laugh into the cold air of his room. He shivered. Oh well. He'll let himself freeze.
Donnie had been in his lab more often. Not eating or drinking anything but many cups of coffee and a few snacks bars a day.
Raph was always helping April with splinter. His condition was only getting worse and worse.
Mikey laid down in his hammock, looking up at the ceiling. He wondered what he was even still here for if every useful job in the house was full. Nobody but Raph even came down to eat anymore. He took off his mask as tears worked their way to his eyes. Dammit he was always such a baby. The baby of the family. It's all they saw him as. Naive and innocent. He let out a strangled sob into the cold air of his room. Fuck, his damn arm burns were aching again. His skin crawled as they tingled every rub against his new black turtleneck sweater. He turned around to look at the clock. It was already 3:00 am. His blood boiled. He hated himself. He hated his life. He picked up the clock and threw it, with all the strength he could muster, against the floor. His arms throbbing, he collapsed to his knees and began to sob.
