Chapter 6
Raph POV
I woke up with a really bad feeling. We can sense when danger is in the air, for example if someone was hurt or worst. Walking to the living room, I saw Father and Leo on the couch. As I moved closer, I got a good look of their faces. I saw sadness, worry, guilt and despair. Their eyes were red and puffy, so I knew they have been crying.
"L-leo, F-father, wh-what's going on?" I stuttered in fear and apprehension.
My father looked at me and tried to say something, but instead he started crying. I looked on in shock. My father looked as if he was going to have a mental breakdown.
Leo stepped in and answered my question on our father's behalf, "Our baby brother tried to kill himself. Donnie's in the med lab trying to save him."
Those words felt like a stab to my heart. Our baby brother. Our light. Our smile. Trying to end his life. My anger and pain was so intense that I lost it. I started to scream and break everything in sight. After my rampage, I broke down and cried for my baby brother. I wish he was safe and next to me so that I can hug him and apologize for not being a good brother and friend. I'm sorry for every bad thing I ever did to him; yelling, hitting, name calling and more.
Out of nowhere, my father hugged me, telling me everything will be okay; our baby brother is strong. This is the only time I hugged my father back, after all, I am the tough guy of the family. But now, I'm scared. What will happen to Mikey? I have never felt so weak and helpless in my life.

Leo POV
I've never seen Raph this way before. He looks so heartbroken as I watch our father try to comfort him. We can't lose hope; Mikey will be fine. Mikey will heal physically and emotionally. Then everything will go back to normal. Mikey will be cracking jokes, annoying us, just being good old Mikey.
There's still no word about Mikey's condition. I'm really scared about whatever's happening in the med lab. What if Mikey dies? I slapped myself mentally for thinking that.
Suddenly, the med lab's door opened and the purple banded turtle stepped out, his head hung low.
"Mikey is stable. I gave him something to help with the pain, but he is in a coma due to the amount of blood he lost." Donnie managed to say before collapsing to the ground.
