Fear and Pain pt.10

Hello, hope you are having a good day.

Mia sighed. Then she took the cup of water and made Leo drink a bit. Leo tried to spit the water out.

"No, Leo, swallow the water. We don't need you choking." Mia sternly said. Leo swallowed. When Mia tried to make him drink more water, Leo pushed away. Mia put the cup on the table and sighed. Then she went to take care of Leo's blanket. Max knew that Mia was upset.

"Leo, Mia wants to help you. She's doing what she can to help you heal. Please don't push her away. She loves you. She missed you a lot. She feels that she's failed to protect you. Please help her. Can you do that?" Max explained. Leo nodded. A few hours later, Mia was making Leo's bed up. Leo stumbled in and wrapped his arms around Mia. Mia wrapped her arms around Leo.

"Love you, Mimi." Leo stammered.

"I love you too, Leo." Mia replied. Then she kissed Leo's forehead. Then Leo stumbled back out. Mia smiled. An hour later, Niska accidently dropped Leo's cup of water. Leo started hyperventilating. Fred came out.

"Take him to his room while I clean this." Niska ordered. Fred picked up a thrashing and screaming Leo. Fred put Leo on the bed and then closed the door. Leo got up and locked the door. Then he found something sharp. He took his shirt off and laid down on the bed. Then he took in a deep breath and cut his side. He felt blood poured out of the wound. Then he did it several more times. Then he looked at his side and saw blood pour out of his wounds. Leo sighed. Then he began to cut his wrists. After a few minutes, he stopped. He put the piece of glass away and wiped the blood off of his wounds. Then he put his shirt on. Then he laid on his side and played with his toy car.

Hotch called. Mia answered the phone.

"Hey, how's Leo?" Hotch asked. Mia told him everything that happened. "Ok. I'll bring them over now."

Fred managed to find a way of unlocking the door to Leo's room. Leo sat up and looked at Fred. Mia came in and hugged Leo.

"Leo, please don't lock yourself in your room. We don't want you to suffer alone." Mia said. Leo looked down at his hands. "It's ok, Leo. Hotch is going to have a few friends talk to you. Is that ok?"

"Maybe." Leo mumbled. So half an hour later, Hotch came home with two friends.

"Can we talk to him alone? The people that had him might have done things to him that he might not feel comfortable talking about around a girl." Hotch explained.

"Of course." Mia answered. So the 3 guys went in and closed the door. Morgan smiled when he saw Leo playing with the toy car.

"You like that you don't you?" Morgan asked. Leo nodded.

"Leo, can you tell us what happened?" Spencer asked. Leo nodded. "Ok. Just tell us what they did to you."

"They were nice me. Then they hurt me. They beat me. They always did things to me." Leo explained tearfully.

"Leo, did they do sexual things to you?" Morgan wondered. Leo nodded. "Leo, I know how you feel. When I was your age something similar happened to me. I know how hard and scary it is. It can be very hard afterwards. I remember feeling angry and afraid. Is that how you feel?" Leo nodded. "Hey, it's ok. You have a family that loves you. They can and will help you." Leo nodded as he cried.

"Leo, my mother was schizophrenic. She was like your mom. Both had mental problems. My mom is still alive and it hurts to see her suffer. Was it hard to see your mom suffer?" Spencer explained. Leo nodded. Then he pointed to his arm. He pointed to his vein.

"What does that mean?"

"I think he's saying that they injected him and drugged him. Leo did they drug you?"

Leo nodded.

"Guys, I think he's going through withdrawal and it's scaring him." Spencer realized. "Leo, it's ok. It'll be ok. Your family will help you. I've been drugged before. It was hard. It's going to be hard but you'll be fine."

"Thank you." Leo stammered. Then he smiled at Morgan and Spencer. Then he smiled at he started gasping.
