Raph lead Rachel back to the lair and sat her down on the couch. Her eyes were glued on the ground unable to look up to see the concerned eyes that were on her. Raph sat next to her and put his arm over her shoulder but she didn't move because she was still somewhat mad at him. But after a few minutes of sitting completely still with her eyes on the ground she eased up and leaned into Raph and took a deep breath. Leo was watching her from behind and was upset that after Raph cutting her that she would still let him get near her. It made him furious to watch her slowly get closer and closer to Raph and the lean against him. He wished that he wasn't so against Rachel at first and that he moved in on her before Raph could. Leo knew that he could do more for her, he could protect her better, he wouldn't ever hurt her, and he would love her more.

Master Splinter walked in from mediating and saw tension in Leo, "Leonardo come with me."

Leo broke out of his stare and turned to face his father, "Yes Sensei." Leo followed Master Splinter into the dojo and kneeled in front of him.

"My son, I have sense that something has been troubling you, what is it?"

Leo looked into the eyes of his father, "Sensei for some reason I have been having different feelings for Rachel then I did when I first met her."

Master Splinter nodded his head, "I have noticed this as well, Leonardo you must know that it is not good for you to try to take Rachel from Raph for she has chosen him."

Leo felt his heart drop, "But Sensei what if she changes her mind?"

"That is not how it works my son, what I am trying to get through you is that you cannot get in between Raph and Rachel it is not right."

Leo got up, "Yes Sensei I understand." Leo walked out of the dojo to see Rachel now with her arms around Raph. He then thought she could still change her mind...can't she? He then watched as Raph kissed her softly on top of her head. He slammed his fist into the wall.

…

Rachel watched as she saw Leo sit on the couch next to Raph, he looked frustrated but she didn't know why. She glanced at Mikey who was on the ground playing video game with his signature grin on his face. Mikey was completely lost into his video game just like how her brother always is when he places his video games. She then felt her heart ached, she hadn't seen her brother and her father sense her mom died. She missed them and they were probably wondering where she is. Rachel looked up at Raph, "I need to go back to my house and make sure that my Dad and brother aren't worrying about me."

Raph nodded his head, "Want to go now?"

"Yeah let's go." Rachel led the way out the door but Raph had a plan to kiss her for a while before he took her home but he turned to see his brothers following closely behind. He moaned on the inside and walked up to Rachel. They arrived at her house and Rachel knocked on the door, the turtles kept a distance behind her unseen. Rachel tried to see if the door was unlocked and surprisingly it was. She walked in and waved at the turtles before closing the door behind her. But they stood their ground making sure nothing will happen. They were about to go back to their home when they heard a scream that was coming from Rachel. They immediately busted in to see Rachel sitting on the ground holding her dead bloody brother in her arms crying her eyes out. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Donny picked up a knife that was on the ground and showed it to his brothers. Raph slapped it out of his hands, he was furious that once again Rachel was hurt. Rachel rocked back and forth with her little brother in her arms, how could someone do this? The turtles stayed with Rachel until she finally took her brother out of her arms and sat him on the couch. She kissed his head still in tears then went to her father and kissed him on the head. She walked over to the turtles, "Can I please stay with you guys?" her voice was shaky and soft.

Mikey ran over to her and gave her a hug and answered for his brothers, "Of course you can!"

Rachel stood there limp; it took awhile to get over Abby hurting her now this. And she knew exactly who killed her family, Abby. Rachel felt hatred boil up inside of her. She hated Rachel and wanted to get back at her. She followed the turtles back into the lair and sat on the couch with her knees up and her arms around her legs. She stared at the turtles that were around her that were trying to soothe her but wasn't helping.

…

For the next couple of days Rachel didn't move from the couch she would only get up to eat. Raph was getting concerned for her because she seemed depressed. But after about a week Rachel seemed to be more around Raph she would follow him around but wouldn't say anything he liked it at first thinking that she was getting better but after awhile it became annoying. He needed his space and he became more irritated at her. One day Rachel sat so close to him on the couch she was practically on his lap. "Hey Rachel baby, Can you get me a Coke?" Rachel nodded her head and headed for the fridge. Raph quickly grabbed Donny, "Help me I get one second away from her!"

Donny signed, "I've noticed, don't worry it will wear off."

Raph rolled his eyes, "I know but it almost makes me wish that we didn't let her come live with us or saved her!"

Donny eyes widened, "No dude…" Donny stared over Raph and Raph turned to see Rachel standing there with the Coke in her hands almost in tears.

"No Rachel I didn't mean it." She dropped the Coke and ran crying to Donny's room (sense that's where she slept most of the time because she was afraid to sleep alone in a room by herself and also Donny never mind her sleeping on the floor next to him.) She slammed the door and laid down on her blanket and pillow on the floor and cried. Once again he hurt her and this time she was going to make sure he didn't she wasn't going to talk to him or be around him but instead be around Leo. She knew that Raph didn't get along with Leo and it would make him mad.

Raph approached the door and slammed on it, he was furious at himself, "Rachel ya know I didn't mean it!"

There was no answer. Raph turned and put his forehead on the wall. How could he hurt her again? What the hell was wrong with him? Rachel deserved better…

Leo watched his brother and approached him, "Looks like you hurt her…again."

Raph spun around and made a fist at his side, "Shut up."

Leo couldn't believe his brother's ignorance, "She is fragile Raph!"

He didn't answer just made his fist tighter. Leo frowned at Raph, "In just a few weeks she has beaten to a pulp, her family murdered, and her hotheaded boyfriend hurt many times."

Raph walked away, his brother was right she is fragile and he is only making her worse. She was already not talking and now she may never get near him again. She probably hated him.

Leo watched Raph walk away in frustration with himself. He turned and knocked on Donny's door and Rachel opened it just enough for Leo to squeeze in.

OMG! what's going to happen in Donny's room between Rachel and Leo? and Raph has some making up to do... lol... review for more!
