Never Alone Chapter 7

Leo's POV

It's been two days. Two days since that big argument with his brothers. And he hasn't spoken one word to them since.

'They just worry too much. I'm fine, right? Wait. Am I doubting if I'm okay or not? No I am fine! It was just a nightmare! I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.'

Leo clutched his head tightly and breathed in and out slowly to calm himself down.

Donnie's POV

Donnie was in his lab working on another invention of his...or trying to anyway. He couldn't focus. His mind kept going back to the argument in the dojo two days ago.

'"Oh what? You're too good and mighty to eat with the rest of us."

"You've been avoidin' us for days now Leo! What's wrong?!"

"How many times do I have to tell you NOTHING IS WRONG!"

"STOP LIEING TO US LEO!"

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"You've been distant."

"All of you leave me ALONE!"

"If Leo wants to do this himself without us then by all means go ahead. I don't care."

"PLEASE don't push us away."

Donnie let out a long sigh as the words that we're said kept going through his head over and over again. He didn't mean what he said about letting Leo do this on his own. It's just that he's been so stressed lately and he doesn't know what to do. And for that reason he is scared.

Mikey's POV

Mikey is in the kitchen making dinner for himself and his family. As he finished the preparations and finished with what he had to do with the food he put it in the oven. the food would be cooking for another twenty minutes or so before it was done. As Mikey sat there waiting for the food to finish, his mind drifted towards the event that happened two days ago. His two older brothers and him haven't spoken to Leo since then and Leo hasn't even tried speaking to them. He is confused to what is going on exactly. All he knows is that something is wrong or bothering Leo.

He thought back to the day the argument happened. After eating lunch, Donnie, Raph, and himself went to talk to Master Splinter.

'"Master Splinter has Leo come and talked to you about what is bothering him?"

"Why no he hasn't. Is there something wrong?"

"He's growing more distant."

"Doesn't hang out wit us much anymore."

"Trains a lot more than usual too."

"Hmmmmmm... I see. Leonardo seems to be suffering mentally. Maybe a nightmare or something he's seen. But he won't get better if he doesn't talk about this. In fact he'll get worse, he'll keep pushing us away until it's too late and he loses us or we lose him entirely. You must get him to talk to you but do not push him. You can not force Leonardo to talk. Trying to would just make things worse. I believe Donatello will be better at getting him to talk."

"Me? Why me sensei?"

"Because you are calm, patient, and the easiest to talk to. You are intelligent. You understand when to push and when not to push, when to talk and not to talk, and what to say and not say."

"Thanks sensei. You really think this about me?"

"Well yes. Plus Leo is closer to you. As for you Michelangelo and Raphael. Try not to get too much in your brothers business and don't start any fights with him either."

"Hai sensei!"

The beeping of the oven snapped him out of his thoughts and he took the food out of the oven. He set the table.

"Bros! Dinner is ready!"

Raph's POV

He was sleeping when he heard Mikey yell dinner was ready. He got up, stretched, then walked out the door towards the kitchen.

Donnie's POV

Donnie stood up and left the lab. He went to the bathroom and washed up before heading for the kitchen.

Leo's POV

He was tempted to just not eat tonight and just stay in his room. But Leo isn't stupid. He can't avoid his brothers forever. So he got up and headed for the kitchen.

When he got there all his brothers were already there. He took his seat next to Donnie and started eating himself. It was quiet. And that's just what Leo was hoping for and was happy about it.

After dinner was when everything went downhill. Leo washed the dishes and left the kitchen. He ran into Raph, who was standing near the hallway, and didn't say anything. Instead he went around and walked away towards his room. But he didn't get far because Raph grabbed him by the wrist stopping him in his tracks. Leo turned around to look at Raph.

"So you were just going to walk away and not say anythin'?"

He just looked at him and tried to pull his arm out of Raph's grip but Raph just gripped him harder. Finally Leo said something.

"Let me go Raph. NOW."

"There's no reason for you to get snappy Leo! I didn't even do anything!"

"I'm not in the mood Raph. Just..."

"No. No don't give me that! You have been distant, haven't been talking, and you have been a real jerk. We are concerned and just want ta help ya but we can't help ya if you keep it all to yourself Fearless. Stop acting all high and mighty! Get your idiotic head out of your ass and start using your brain asshole!"

Leo stood there repeating what Raph said over and over again. He held back the tears fighting to shed. He turned and ran out of the lair into the sewers.

Author's Note: Well then here it is. This is not good. Raph usually runs out of the lair, this time it was Leo. Things can only go downhill from here. Raph is not a big jerk. He is just very concerned and worried for his only older brother and he isn't really good with words especially when he is mad. So please leave a REVIEW and tell me what you think. :)
