Here I am holding my little brother in my arms.

All from a battle that wasn't meant to be fought.

A singel order that I said wrong.

For once in his life, he followed through.

No questions asked, he did what I told him to.

Now his life is slipping through my fingers and there's nothing I can do.

I failed him, I failed my family.

What am I to do?.

His eyes burning into mine, begging for another chance at life.

I'm sorry brother, there's nothing I can do.

I failed you.

His grip on my hand is weakening, he has almost let go.

No little brother don't leave me, I want you to come home.

Please don't give up. that's just not you.

Since when do you do anything someone has told you to?.

I know it's hard, you're trying to breathe.

Please little brother just don't leave!.

I know we shouldn't have come here, this is all on me.

After all I'm the leader in everything.

I take all the guilt, I take all the blame.

If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be lying here today.

I wonder what Master Splinter would say, if he knew I was the one who made your spirt slip away?.

That bruning desire to stay alive is no longer in your eyes.

I have to try something!.

In God's name I pray.

Please don't let my brother die, please don't take the fire from his eyes.

I know sometimes he can get mad, but he makes me glad that I'm his brother.

Please I'm now on my knees, listen to my prayer.

Don't make him have that 'dead person' stare.

Please he doesn't have much time, I don't know what I would do without my little brother to get me through.

Amen.

He's still laying there, losing more blood by the moment.

I'm still holding his hand, which is now cold.

I look at his chest, it's no longer rising and falling.

He's dead!.

I've killed him, with a order miss said.

I let go of his hand, it fell to the ground.

I fall to my side, sobbing with all my might.

I should've heard Donnie and Mikey come, but I didn't.

They're asking me something, but I can't hear them.

Nothing matters, my brother's dead.

I then heard a noise, a breathtaking noise.

My brother, my brother's alive!.

I grab his hand once again, as I watch Donnie patch him up.

The fire is back in his eyes, the desire to live is back again.

The bleeding has stopped, I think he's going to be aright!.

I take his hand and I look into his tired eyes.

"Im sorry little brother" was all I could muster.

"It's alright big brother,I'm not mad. After all I'm the one who followed your order" He said smiling.

"Ok can you move again?"

"Yes I can".

We lifted him up off of the cold hard ground.

We started to go back towards home.

"I love you little bro!"

"I love you too, now lets go home!"

There they go again.
