She sighed and went back to see that Leo was very weak and pale. She went to him and made sure that he was ok. Then she called one of her friends.
"Hello?" The man asked.
"Jacob, it's me Elise. I need some help. I found a man who was nearly dead. I treated some of his wounds but I don't know all that he's been through. Can you come over later?" Elise explained.
"Sure. I won't be able to get there till around 9 but sure."
"Thanks."
Then they hung up. Elise looked at the clock. She saw that it was around 3. She sighed. She finished making the soup. She took a bowl of it and went to the room Leo was in. She put it on the night table. Then she looked at Leo's arms. She saw marks on his arms from syringes. Then Leo woke up.
"It's ok. You're safe. Just relax." Elise whispered. Leo moaned and tried to get up. "No, don't move."
"Leave me alone." Leo said.
"No. I'm going to help you."
"I don't need help."
"You can't even breathe properly."
"Just leave me alone."
"At least eat something. You look like you haven't actually eaten anything in a while."
"No."
"Have you been drugged?"
"Why do you care?"
"Because I do. Now answer the question."
"Yes."
Leo looked down. He was ashamed.
"Do you know which drugs?" Elise questioned.
"No." Leo mumbled.
"How do you feel?"
Leo didn't answer. Elise sighed.
"Look at me." Elise sternly said. Leo didn't so Elise made him. "I care because I wouldn't wish this on anyone. You look like you've been through a lot. If you have any family tell me so I can call them and have them come over and help you. I do care. You can trust me, Leo."
"How do you know my name?" Leo asked.
"Because of my uncle. His name is George Mullican. He told me about you. When I saw the wire, I knew that you were Leo. Please, let me help you."
"Just leave me alone. I don't want to talk about it."
"I was raped several times. My father hated me. He was a drug dealer. My mom was a druggie. They didn't care about me. When I was 14, I was sexually assaulted. I got pregnant. I told people about it. I lost my baby because one of my mom's friend didn't like the fact that I was going to be a mom. It still hurts me. Then a year later, I got pregnant again. I had twins. Then I adopted a little girl. Almost two weeks ago, I gave birth to triplets. George was there for me. He helped me get an apartment. He gave me money for food and clothes. I know what it's like to feel like you're alone. It tore me apart. You most likely have gone through five times more in such a short time. Just now that you can tell me."
Leo looked down at his hands.
"Give me my book bag." Leo said. Elise did. Leo saw That Mattie had called him. He texted Mattie their location. "I have a friend coming." Then Leo pulled out a necklace. he held it in his hand and sighed.
"Who's necklace is that?" Elise wondered.
"I was going to give it to my girlfriend. I guess I'll finally be able to give it to her."
"You asked your girlfriend to come over."
Leo nodded. Elise helped him sit up a bit.
"You should eat." Elise suggested.
"I can't." Leo answered.
"At least try to."
So Leo did. His hands were too shaky so Elise had to help him. He had one bite and wanted more.
"Wait a bit. We don't want you to puke. You need the nutrients. I'll go get you some water." Elise said. She went to get Leo some water. She didn't know that the twins had went into Leo's room. Elise went in and saw the twins on the bed. Leo was practically asleep. "Eric and Erica, get off of the bed. Leo is trying to rest."
Leo moaned and opened his eyes. He saw the twins looking at him. Eric and Erica got off of the bed.
"Where's Isabella?" Elise asked.
"Babies." Eric said.
"Of course. Go sit in the living room and play."
So the twins did.
"I'm sorry about that." Elise said.
"It's ok." Leo mumbled.
"How do you feel?"
"Everything hurts. I feel cold and sore."
"I'll get you a blanket after I finish helping you eat and drink."
SO Elise sat down on the bed and helped Leo eat and drink. He eventually finished the bowl of soup.
"You can go to sleep now. I just wanted you to have something in your stomach." Elise sighed.
"I know." Leo replied.
"I have a friend coming over later tonight to treat your wounds. He might want to take some blood so he can find out what drugs were used so that we can give you something for the pain."
"You won't able to anyways. I was addicted to several drugs for a few years and now I have a really hard time. I can have one injection and feel like I'm going to die from drug withdrawal."
"That will help. I'll go get you a blanket. You should try to rest."
Leo nodded. He put the necklace on the night table. He tried to sleep. Elise got a blanket for Leo. She went to him and saw that he was almost asleep. She covered him up. Then she went back to the living room. She feed the triplets. When she was done, it was nearly 5:30. Then Mattie knocked on the door.
