HI, So here is my first fanfiction in a really long time. I probably should be finishing other works, but... You know?! I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!
Disclaimer: I own NOTHING, except the storyline and my love for Leo (Zebb Dempster) xoxo
"Leo?"
"Leo?"
"LEO?" Asked Allie Westbrook for a third time, this time raising her voice when addressing the young male.
Leo barley lifted his head, as he slowly looked up towards Allie. His eyes were squinted heavily as his glasses lay forgotten in front of him on the table. "Huh?" He asked, clearly confused.
"I asked you what you'd like for breakfast!" Allie sighed, chirpily.
Floyd sniggered, earning a dirty look from Justin.
"Oh, I'm not hungry." Whispered Leo as he rested his head in his hands against the table top.
Allie looked at the boy "Leo, are you ok?" she asked, worrying for the child's health. Leo ignored her. "Leo?" She asked, slightly more urgently than before.
"WHAT!" He snapped, sitting up straight. Allie looked taken aback. Justin smirked.
"Hey, don't you talk to my mum like that!" Floyd interjected, glaring at Justin although he spoke to Leo.
Just then, Vaughan decided to walk into the kitchen. He didn't glance twice at his children as he ambled towards Allie and pulled her towards his for a good morning kiss.
When they pulled away, Leo was gone.

"So, what would you say Piggy's view on Simon's death was?" Asked Christine Mulgrew, as she silently scanned her class room for any raised hands. There were none. "Leo." Picked Mrs Mulgrew.
Leo jumped at the mention of his name, dropping the pen, which he had been religiously tapping on the desk for the majority of the lesson, on the floor. Some students laughed at his expense.
"I'm waiting." Stated Christine, crossing her arms and staring at Leo. The rest of the class turned to watch as well, glad that it wasn't them she had picked on.
Leo looked up at her, dumbstruck. Truth to be told, he hadn't listened to a single word that she had uttered for the entire lesson. Leo coughed. "Um…he was…um…sad?" Suggested Leo, his voice low and scratchy. Christine frowned.
"Did you read the book?" Asked Christine.
"Um…yeah?" Answered Leo. It wasn't exactly a lie, Leo had tried to read it, he just hadn't been able too. All of the words kept swirling around and his glasses kept rubbing against the top of his ears and his nose. After a while, he had simply given up.
"Yes…" Trailed Christine. "Samantha, do you have an insight?" She asked another student.
Leo breathed out a sigh of relief.
After the bell, it was break.
"Justin!" Said Leo, catching up with his elder brother. But Justin ignored him, instead opting to loop his arm around Tiffany's shoulders. Leo stood still.
"Hey!"
"Yeah watch out."
"God. You're so rude."
Leo turned around just in time to see Lisa and Shaznay push past him. He saw them laughing and frowned, turning away.
Looking to his left, Leo saw Kevin struggling to put all of his books into his locker again. Leo knew better than to intervene or offer his help.
"Aah!" Shuddered Leo as another wave of pain vibrated through his head. A few people gave him snide looks as they walked past, thinking that he was talking to himself.
He walked on; ripping his eyes away from passers by, instead focussing on his feet as they slowly meandered across the ground. He was silent, deciding that if he made no sounds, it would make him seem almost invisible.
Leo didn't know how, or why, but somehow he ended up in town. Looking up, Leo could see the off license and post office. He sighed before deciding to walk into the shop.
Okay, so he didn't have any money, but the shop keepers didn't know that. Leo felt himself fill with boredom as he stood, eyeballing the many displays. Hours seemed to pass, but Leo knew that they were simply only minutes, seconds even.
At long last (or 21 minutes later), the shop keeper finally kicked him out. Looking down at his watch, Leo was shocked to find that his lunch break had finished over half an hour ago. His dad was not going to be happy at all.
That was if he found out…

Leo sat himself down on the settee, for some unknown reason, he was worn out and tired from his day, yet his day had consisted of nothing really.
Anyway, it was quarter to four and the rest of the Fitzgeralds' and Westbrooks' were due home any second now. Leo wondered how his dad would feel. Would he be mad? No, his dad would never be mad, that's too much of an understatement, Vaughan Fitzgerald would be absolutely fuming, and Leo, well he'd probably be dead!
Leo could hear the key turn in the lock, then the door open. The sound of rushing feet as Floyd or Tiffany hurried upstairs.
"Leo?" Leo shook his head. "Leo, are you in?" Asked his dad again, raising his voice from the hallway.
Leo could hear Allie now, "Hey, he's probably just hanging out with some friends. Don't be too hard on him." Leo couldn't help but snigger; she really did know nothing about either him or his dad.
Vaughan heard him. Moments later, the older man had stormed into the room. "LEO FITZGERALD WHERE WERE YOU THIS AFTERNOON?!" Leo looked taken aback as he carefully tried to formulate an excuse within his mind.
"I'M WAITING."
"Vaughan, don't be so harsh." That was Allie.
Leo could hear Tiffany now, chatting away to Justin.
Then Floyd, shouting at his mother, accusing Justin of all manner of things.
Leo saw all of them, their faces looming, menacing ahead of him.
"Leo?" Asked his dad, sensing that Leo was clearly scared.
Leo didn't hear him.
He was visibly shaking, a rush of water sounding in his ears; everyone's faces began to swirl into one another, dancing hauntedly around him.
Leo shook his head, wanting it all to go away.
His eyes rolled backwards into his head.
Leo's body fell, collapsed onto the ground and began violently convulsing.
Tiffany screamed.
Floyd was shocked.
Vaughan looked taken aback.
Allie's eyes went wide.
Justin pushed forwards, knowing what to do…
TO BE CONTINUED!
