Wake Up
"Mikey what are you still doing in here?" asked Raph when he saw his younger brother in the chair next to Leo's bedside.
"I want to be here." He said without looking at Raph.
"You know that Master Splinter said he probably won't wake up for a while." Said Raph placing a hand on his brother's shoulder. He felt it trembling and he knew what Mikey was thinking.
"Now don't go all soft on me. You know this wasn't your fault." He said trying to comfort his brother.
"It
is to my fault!" cried Mikey in an outburst. Raph was taken back.
"Mikey…" he said but Mikey wouldn't let him finish.
"It
was my fault that Leo is hurt. All because I didn't watch my back."
He said punching the wall. Raph shook his head in disbelief. "Mikey
you can't beat yourself up like this is that what Leo would want?"
Mikey looked down at his sleeping brother. He was silent for a moment but then he shook his head. "No." he said softly. "Then quit beating yourself up." "But…" "No buts Mikey, do it for Leo." Mikey sighed. "Oh alright." He said taking up his chair again. After a moment of silence Raph cleared his throat. "So you coming to bed or not." Mikey shook his head. "I'll stay with Leo if that's alright." He whispered. Raph shook his head. "Alright but do me a favor and try to get some sleep." "Okay." Raph smiled and then walked out the door. As soon as Raph left, he took his brother's hand in his. "Don't worry Leo, I'm here. I'm here."
