Bad Blood (Part Two)
Leo's POV:
I'm going to tell you a secret, ok? Now this secret, now that I think of it, really isn't a secret at all. But just a mix of emotions. And those emotions are guilt and a lot of feeling really lost. The guilt part of it is because I feel like I'm barely there for my brothers anymore, especially Raph. The feeling lost part is because I don't know how to process these things without it affecting the team. Now I mean don't get me wrong, I provide protection, a shoulder to cry on, and so on. But I feel like for some of my brothers-more like a brother in that case is not seeing that. I know me and Raph get at it a lot with each other, but I still love him with all my heart, as for the rest of brothers. And I'm about 99% sure that the reason is because of the fights we have. I'm sitting on my bed, looking at a photo me and Raph took together when I turned 9. We were so happy growing up together. Like brothers should. But that day was also the worst day-I believe-for Raph. Our Sensei assigned me as leader at the tender age of 7. I was so happy. I couldn't believe I got the title of leadership. If only I knew the hell I would have to endure, as well as my brothers, Raph, I would've NEVER accepted it. I still remember when we were just toddlers and me and Raph snuck out of the Lair because he wanted to show me a surprise he made for me on the sewer wall. When we finally got to where the surprise was he showed me…..and I cried tears of happiness and joy. It was a carving in the wall that read:
"My Brother, My Protector, My Leo"
I sometimes still do cry over that to this day. I mean seriously, it was that touching. I know Raph doesn't mean to lash out at me like how he does, and I don't either. He simply just wants his Leo back, his true Leo. Just like I want to be that same brother to him again. I want to be that Leo again that holds him close when he has a nightmare, or just needs comforting in general, calms him down when he's stressed, or someone to talk to when he needs to express his feelings towards something. I don't honestly know if Raph believes this or not but, I love him with all my heart, and I would give my life for him any day, anywhere, any time. As well for Donnie, Mikey, and Splinter.
Well I'm going to be late for training. Thanks for listening.
