1 weeks later:
Leo was sitting in a chair beside Dani's bed, his hand intertwined with hers. "Dani, please wake up." He whispered to her as she laid unmoving, unchanged since Donny took her off the ventilator.
Raph walked in and handed him a glass of water and a sandwich. "She getting any better?" He asked as he drew up a chair on the opposite side of Dani's bed. "No." Leo sighed. "Nothing's changed."
"This is so screwed up Leo. Why did this happen. Mikey hasn't woken up at all, and Dani hasn't woken up since that night in the truck." Raph said, new tears starting to fall down his tear stained face. "I know Raph, and I know it's not fair. They were only skating; just goofing off like they always do." Leo comforted, then he let out a small laugh.
"What's so funny?" Raph asked, confused at how Leo could be laughing while Dani and Mikey weren't there to cause it (directly).
"I was just thinking about what Donny told me the other day." He explained. "When MIkey had called him, he was telling him that Dani wanted to go get pizza and that they were going to be late."
Raph stopped a moment and thought about that. "Ha." He laughed weakly. "That sounds like them. Pizza and skatebording."
"Yeah." Leo paused, the raised his head and looked Raph square in the eyes. "When do you think that they'll wake up Raph?" He sounded utterly broken, his tough exterior gone. "I can't stand feeling so useless. It's killing me." Then Leo completly and utterly broke down, the weight of the world falling hard on his shoulders.
Raph was shocked. It was rare for him to cry, but it was even rarer to see Leo cry. He was the strong. center rock that his family depended on. He felt empathy for Leo, he knew what he was feeling. He got up and crossed the distance to his sobbing brother; he wrapped him in a hug and tried to sooth him as best he could.
