Raph jumped off of his bed and raced towards the entrance of the camp. Once he got there, he was greeted by Leo with open arms. They hugged each other so tight, they almost fell to the ground. "Leo, where have you been!?" Raph asked as he let go of Leo. "I was recovering." Leo chuckled. Soon all the turtles came to hug him.

*Timeskip (brought to you by autobots, turtles, sonic, puppies, and laziness)*

The boys had a hell of a time. They went to there favorite restaurant, talked, and even went to Dave 'n Busters to play a few arcade games. Overall, it was the best day of there lives...well for a moment anyway.

The turtles were cheering on for Mikey as he was there playing the plants vs. zombies games. "C'mon you can do it!"

"Beat it, Beat it!"

"I'm trying." In the end.....well, let's just say it didn't go so well for the orange turtle. "NOOOOOOO!" he shouted in defeat. "I almost had it." Mikey said as MC comfort him as the others laughed. "Raphael!" All the turtles shot a direct look at a woman in a very bad mood. It was Raph's mother. Raph immediately walked over to her. "Yea mom." he said as his mother instantly smacked him across the face while the others widen there eyes in shock. "Uh oh."

"He's about to get it."

"Is this about what I said to you before you left?" Raph said as he rubbed the red mark on his cheek. "Of course it is! How dare you speak that way to your mother!" Raph's mother then begin to pull on his bandanna. "You and I are gonna talk." she said as she begin to lead him out of the arcade.

Raph felt the pull of his mother. This happened almost all the time when he was young but this was different. This was harder. Like she knew something he didn't.

Once they were outside, she let go of his bandanna so he can turn to face her. "Raphael, I know this is hard but-"

"Of course this is hard!" You left me here immediately after you found out I was gay."

"Honey please listen-"

"Why should I? You left me! I never wanna see you again." Raph said as he stormed away ignoring the calls from his mother.

It's been 2 hours since Raph ran away and so far, its not doing so great. He shivered in the cold as he hugged himself so he wouldn't get cold. It wasn't working sense he didn't have a blanket. Then, just when it couldn't get any worse, he heard footsteps. He figured it was a kidnapper so he hid behind a few boxes. The footsteps got closer. Raph breathed slowly not wanting to make a sound. "Raph?" Wait. Why would a kidnapper know his name? This wasn't a kidnapper. Raph sighed in relief as he got from his hiding spot. and looked at the person who said his name. It was Leo.

"Raph, are you alright?" Leo said as he moved towards the cold turtle. Leo's hands were so warm. So gentle. So strong. Leo hugged Raph for a while and then let go. ".....wow." Raph said in surprise. "I-I'm sorry, its just that-" Before he could even finish his sentence, Raph hugged him back. "It's okay.....I liked it." he said as both he and Leo locked eyes with each other. Raph put his hand on Leo's cheek as Leo put his hand on his shoulder. They both closed there eyes as they were just about to kiss until, "There you are!" Both turtles shot a look at the mysterious voice they heard. It was Mikey. "C'mon guys, we gotta get back to the church before they lock us out for the night." Mikey said as he ran to get the others. Raph sighed. "I guess we'll continue this later." Leo chuckled. "I guess we will."

About an hour later, the turtles were in the car driving back to the church as they talked and laughed. "And so he said to the driver, 'Dude, your wheels are turning.'" Mikey said as the turtles laughed. Rebel was driving while Ghost was in the front seat. Raph was on the left, Leo was on the right and Mikey was in the middle. Donnie and MC were in the trunk of Rebel's RX350.

Raph turned to the window and noticed something. His mother was following them. "What is she doing here?" Raph asked as the others looked in his direction. "Oh uh.....your mother asked to come." Ghost said a little nervously. Raph started to boil as Mikey put his hand on his shoulder. "Just give her a chance to explain okay?" Mikey said as Raph calmed down as he didn't take his eyes off of his mother's car.

When they arrived back to the church, all the turtles went out of the car and headed to there dorms. All except Raph of course. Leo offered to stay but Raph refused as he hugged him one more time as he saw him walk away to his dorm.

Raph turned around towards his mother once she got out of the car. He crossed his arms over his chest as his mother walked towards him. "You have 5 minutes." Raph said firmly not wanting her to waste his time. His mother sighed sadly. "Remember when your father went away for 2 months?" His mother asked. "Yea, so?" Raph snapped. His mother started to form tears in her eyes. "M-Me and your f-father w-were getting a d-divorce." Raph's eyes widen in shock. Why would his parents get a divorce? "Why would you divorce dad?" Raph asked eagered to know the answer. His mother cried even more. Tears flowing down her face like waterfalls. "Your father, *sniff* was gay." Raph was even more shocked than before. That's why she was so upset. She wasn't angry because she didn't want him to be happy. She was angry, because his father left her for a man. His mother's face was officially filled with tears of sadness. As much as Raph hated his mother for lying to him,, it was still painful to see his mother like this. He rapped his arms around her waist to give her a hug. "Shhhh, it's okay." he said as his mother kept apologizing while she buried her head into his chest.
