Leo squeezed through the door and sat down next to Rachel on her blanket on the floor. She was still crying but it was silent tears if he wasn't looking into her face he wouldn't know that she was crying. After a few moments of silence Leo spoke, "Rachel I'm sorry about everything."

She didn't say anything; she just turned to meet his eyes that were staring down in hers. Leo saw her eyes up close for the first time; they no longer sparkled, they were now darkened with sadness and hurt. He felt so bad for her he just wished that she felt the same for him. He decided that he wasn't going to be like his brothers and tell Rachel how he feels. But how? "Rachel I ummm want to tell you that I… uhhh… think that you are really beautiful and I have wanted to tell that for a long time."

Rachel's tears lessened and she spoke for the first time, "You have?"

Leo nodded his head, "But I never knew how to tell you."

Rachel loved the sound of his voice it was soothing like Raph's but gentle. She leaned against him, "Is this supposed to make me feel better?"

"Somewhat I hoped."

Rachel shook her head, "Leo I've feel like I have been broken into a million pieces like a glass vase and sure you can use glue to put the vase back together but it will always have the scar and will never look the same."

Leo signed; that's the most she has said in weeks, "Yes but if the right person puts the vase back together and takes their time putting each piece on then you would never even know that it was broken."

Rachel thought about his words. He was right. But she still felt broken, "All my life all I ever wanted was a friend to tell everything to but I never really found the right person or people until I met your brothers."

Leo smiled, "I'm glad that you feel that way." He helped her stand up. "Come on lets go outside before Raph gets suspicious."

She knew exactly what he meant she wrapped her arms around him, "Thanks Leo."

He wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled he pulled away then led the way out the door.

…

They went outside to see April and Donny in the kitchen talking and Mikey who was watching a movie. Raph was nowhere in sight. Leo sat down on the couch and Rachel sat next to him. Rachel then turned her attention on the movie that Mikey was watching. She didn't know what it was but she knew it was some kind of scary action movie about these gigantic mutant spiders that fed on people. Really the whole movie was just a group of people trying to find the spiders hidden cave then destroy it but when they found the cave they saw that the spiders were keeping the people that they haven't eaten yet wounded up in their webs hanging. One of the main characters were trying to get his girlfriend out of the web when something soft landed on Rachel's lap and something bigger landed next to her. She picked the thing off her lap to see it was a stuff puppy with floppy ears, she then turned her attention to a brief case that was next to her, and she opened it to see it was filled with every art supply you could think of. She looked up to see Raph standing in front of her waiting for her reaction. She didn't know what to think no one has ever done anything like this for her. She shut the brief case squeezed the puppy in her arms and looked into Raph's pleading eyes, "Thank you." Raph smiled at her he noticed that there for a second her eyes lit up. Raph looked around to see the surprised faces of his brothers. "Well, I'm going to bed." He walked to his room and shut the door. Rachel stared at the puppy in her arms. She then got up to follow Raph to his room.

She knocked on Raph's door and waited. He opened the door a little to see who it was. When he saw it was Rachel he opened the door the rest of the way and let her in. She sat on the bed with the stuff puppy in her arms that gave her a innocent look. She looked at Raph but said nothing. Raph signed, "Rachel look… I can be a jerk sometimes I know." He sat down next to her.

Rachel folded her arms, "Sometimes?"

He rolled his eyes and laughed, "Okay a lot but I can't stand hurting you anymore, I lov…" He stopped and grabbed her hand which she kept limp. "…I love you too much to see you hurt anymore."

Rachel felt her heart pound, and she turn to face Raph she forced a half smile and then squeezed his hand. Raph softly kissed her on the lips but instead of her kissing softly back she pushed into him. He put his hands in her soft hair and Rachel pushed him all the way down on his bed. He made a groaning noise in the back of his throat which encouraged her to keep going. She had a tingly feeling the whole time that made her feel loved. After what seemed too short to Rachel Raph pulled away and kissed the side of her neck a few times. He looked into her eyes that were still darkened but not as much. He smiled and she smiled back. "You better get going to Donny's room.

Rachel frowned, "Can't I just stay for a little while?"

Raph thought, "Just for a while."

She smiled and laid down on his bed with her back turned to him. He turned off the lights and lay down next to her. He pulled her over to him and held her. Rachel signed and felt like she was safe in his arms and it made her feel peaceful. In just a few moments they fall asleep.
