Family First

As I watched the rain cascade down the car windows I could still hear my sister screaming for David to stop. Me screaming for her to run. For her to leave. I was snapped back to reality when Mrs. Parks started to talk

"Hamato Yoshi and Teingshen have three kids about your age Donnie so you don't have to worry about not having anyone to play with. They also live not too far from the park so you … are you listening to me? Donnie I know you miss your sister but this is what has to happen. Anyhow, you're very lucky you were adopted by a nice family who understands you're… condition"

"I'm lucky?" I asked "I better go by a lottery ticket then."

"We're here" Mrs. Parks said pulling up to a gray and white three story building.

"So this is what New York looks like?" I asked looking out the window

"Yeah. I'm not gonna lie to you Donnie, it is a lot different from Miami but this is your home. Now, let's go meet your family" she said stepping out and coming around to the other side of the car. I got my backpack out of the trunk, pulled my hood over my face and followed Mrs. Parks up the drive way. A few seconds after Mrs. Parks rang the doorbell a young Japanese woman about in her thirty's opened the door.

"Why hello there you must be Donatello, I'm Teingshen." She said holding her hand out to me. Why would she want to shake hands with me, doesn't she know I'm not human? I shook her outstretched hand anyway just because I didn't want to be rude, I have enough problems as it is. "Aren't you polite? My boys wouldn't do that if it was to save their lives well except for Leo. Speaking of the boys you want to go meet them?" I shook my head yes while trying to avoid eye contact. I really did not want to be here, why couldn't I just stay at the orphanage with Mrs. Parks? There people understand what I'm going through. They understand who I'm am.

I followed Teingshen into a wide room with pale green walls and covered windows. Sitting in the middle of the room on a big light brown couch was a kid around my age. He was wearing a neon orange tank top, brown skater shorts and a mask a lighter shade of orange. The thing is he wasn't human he was a mutant. A mutant turtle just like me. When he noticed us entering he sprang of the couch and wrapped me in a hug screaming something about a fourth ninja.

"That's Michelangelo, Mikey put your brother down" Teingshen said in a stern voice. Iii "Oh sorry" he said setting me back on the floor finally giving me a chance to breathe "my names Mikey what's your name?"

"Donnie" I said rubbing my arms and trying not to wince. I mean I get it this is a nice family but it's not mine. I wanted my sister. My mom. My dad. I was suddenly thrown off my train of thoughts when Mrs. Parks said it was time for her to go.

"You have to leave already?" I asked looking up at Mrs. Parks with a pleading expression

"Yeah Donnie I have to go drive one of the girls to her new home. Here take this" she said handing me a card. I don't know why she's giving me this. I know her number by heart.

"Fine" I said looking down at the floor again. It felt like being left at the orphanage all over again

"Donnie you're going to be fine. This is a very nice family. I wouldn't put you here if it wasn't right for you." She said "it was nice seeing you again Teingshen." Mrs. Parks said

"It was a pleasure seeing you again too Teresa." Teingshen responded with a bow. When the door closed behind Mrs. Parks Teingshen was the first to break the silence. "Would you like to meet the other boys Donatello?"

"Yes please" I answered as I followed Teingshen and Mikey down a hallway with pale green walls just like the living room. Teingshen stopped at a door with Do Not Enter sign written in dark red and a please knock sign written in bright blue. Well this is gonna be fun, I thought as Teingshen slowly opened the door.
