A/N: HELLO PEOPLE OF EARTH! I dunno how I got the idea to write this, but I think it's decent. Set when Leo lived on the streets (my poor baby), and just saying, the OC's aren't really important, so yeah. Review!
The rain made him feel like he was drowning. The wind made him feel like he was about to blow away. The emptiness of his stomach made him feel like he was going to drop from hunger any second. But worst of all was the cold. The freezing, icy coldness biting his fingers and toes, sinking into his bones and making his legs weak. Cold.
Step after step. Moving sluggishly through the downpour. The water ricocheting from the sky and crashing into the ground made it hard for him to see where he was going. All he wanted was to reach the shelter and get out of the cold. The mind-numbingly-cold cold.
After what felt like an eternity, he found himself standing in front of a shabby wooden door. The shelter. His trembling fingers fumbled with the door handle, and his legs were shaking so much he could hardly stand. The handle finally cooperated, and the door swung open, hinges creaking. But he still couldn't escape the cold. He couldn't move, he couldn't speak, the only thing he could think about was cold. The cold that was bringing him to his knees, making his head fuzzy.
His squinted eyes and frozen ears barely registered worried voices and blurry shapes moving in, lifting him up and carrying him to a flickering orange light. Fire. Warmth. He was wrapped in blankets, and he subconsciously scooted closer to the flames. Because the cold was still there. The cold that just would not go away. The cold that drew him into a heavy, dreamless sleep.
He awoke to voices. Voices that eventually became audible words that he could understand. He tried to sit up, but black spots danced in front of him, and he groaned, collapsing back to the floor. The voices came closer, and he identified Hayley and Mike. His friends. Hayley came closer, wrapping him in a hug.
'Why, Leo?' she asked in a shaky voice, pulling away to look at him. He could see her shimmering green eyes brimming with tears.
'Why did you run?' this time Mike spoke, and Leo looked up in confusion. Mike's normally cheerful eyes were completely serious, and there was no playful smile on his face. All Leo could do was wonder why the hell they were so upset. He opened his mouth to speak, but Hayley burst into tears before he could say a word. The three of them just silently hugged each other, and Leo sighed as warmth seeped into his body. He buried his head in Hayley's frizzy dark hair, feeling tears leaking from his eyes.
'Lo siento', he whispered. 'Lo siento te lastime'. He knew they didn't understand his apologies, but the important thing was that he was with them. His friends. His family. And the cold, the freezing icy coldness, the mind-numbingly-cold cold, the cold that brought him to his knees and made his head fuzzy, the cold that just would not go away, the cold was long gone.
Spanish: I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hurt you. Got that off Google Translate btw, sorry if it's wrong
So yeah... bye
