TURTLES ARE NOT MINE!!!!

"So, Raph hated him. That was fine. Who needed him? Sure they were great friends once, but that was a long time ago. He would just stay away from Raph. We wouldn't rise to his petty taunts no; we would be the better turtle. Sure Raph didn't realize he had attacked him, Leo could understand that. But, his true feelings were revealed. Well who needed him?" All these thoughts were going through Leo's mind. He couldn't get back to sleep he needed to get up needed to move to stop feeling like this. "Why does Raph hate me? I try my best for my brothers, my master, but yet nothing I do is right. NOTHING. Why? Why does he hate me?" Leo couldn't stand it he needed to get out of the lab out of the sewer he needed to run, to be free of his thoughts. Leo tried to sit up, but the pain was immense. "I CAN DO THIS, I AM STRONGER THEN THIS!" Leo tried again, and cried out in pain; his arm couldn't support his weight and the pain in his chest was intense. His arm gave out and he couldn't balance himself and fell on the floor with a loud crash.

Donnie came running into the lab followed by Mikey and finally Raph.

"Leo, my God don't move." Said Donnie as he came to Leo's side.

"Leave me along Donnie go back to bed." Panted Leo in pain.

"Leo? I'll help you back on the table." Said Donnie as he put his hands under Leo's armpit to sit him up.

"NO! Leave me alone; I'll do this myself. Go back to bed all of you." Said Leo from the floor.

"Come on bro, your in pain. Let us help you." Said Mikey as he too came over.

"No, leave me alone I can do this myself." Said Leo not looking at any of his brothers.

"Leo, that's bull let us help you." Said Raph after he shook off the shock of seeing his brother on the floor.

"Don't you touch me." Said Leo with malice. "Donnie, Mikey get away from me I can do this myself. Donnie and Mikey pulled their hands away but didn't leave Leo's side. Leo tried to pull himself up to a sitting position, but with his arm useless he couldn't do it and he fell back down, if Donnie was not there to catch him he would of smacked his head hard against the floor. "Just leave me alone, I can do this." Leo grimaced from the pain, but refused the help.

"Stop being a hot head, Leo and let us help you." Said Raph.

"Oh your one to talk Raphael. I don't want help, just leave me alone all of you." Said Leo without looking at Raph.

"Sorry, bro isn't happening you need our help." Said Mikey and he helped Leo to a sitting position. "Ok, Leo I'm gonna help you stand." Mikey got behind Leo and helped him rise, Leo was out of breath quickly and you could tell he was in a lot of pain, every so slowly Mikey helped Leo rise. Finally he was standing with Mikey's help. Mikey set him next to the table so Leo was leaning against it.

"Thanks, Mikey. Sorry about not wanting help, you know how I am." Said Leo.

"No problem bro, and yeah you are way too stubborn, like some other turtle I know." Said Mikey with a grin. Leo just frowned at that comment.

"Let me check your stitches, Leo." Said Donnie.

"Don, I'm fine I just wanted to get up. I didn't realize my arm couldn't support me." Said Leo and Raph winced at that comment.

"Leo, why did you try to get up? You know you're hurt and yet you do something like this. You could of ripped apart your stitches, you could of hurt yourself more. I swear you are an awful patient." Said Donnie while checking Leo over even though Leo didn't want it.

Raph was quiet after the comment about him being the one to talk. Leo was right he shouldn't talk. He shouldn't be there at all. Leo shouldn't be in the lab hurt, but he was, and all because of Raph. "I'm not needed, I'll go back to bed." Said Raph.

"Night, Raph." Said Donnie and Mikey. Leo didn't say anything; he didn't even look at him. Raph noticed that Leo was avoiding looking at him, but he didn't say anything. When Leo wanted to talk he would. Raph decided it was best to give his brother space. "Night guys, Leo." Leo still didn't look at him so Raph just went back to his bed.

"Well Leo your stitches are fine. I told you your arm would be weak for a while. You need to rest. Tomorrow we can start therapy on it and hopefully get it back into shape. But you have to take it slow and easy." Said Donnie.

"I need some air Donnie, I can't stay here now. I feel...I just need some air." Said Leo with a sigh.

"Leo, dude you couldn't even get up on your own and you want some air. Not happening. There's no way you could get up to the surface. Besides you have plenty of air here." Mikey said with a laugh and a look that said Leo was a complete idiot for not thinking of that.

"Thanks for stating the obvious Mikey." Said Leo. "But, I just...can I at least go to my room?"

"Yeah, lets walk you in there. Do not get up early tomorrow. There is no training and as for food, Mikey will bring you some. You should be in bed most of the day." Said Donnie.

"Don, there is NO way I can stay in bed all day. I'll go nuts." Said Leo in disbelief.

"Oh, you'll be fine. You can do some strength exercises for your arm, then you can catch up on your reading." Said Donnie with a smile.

"God, this is stupid." Said Leo all three turtles made their way slowly towards Leo's room. Mikey and Donnie helped Leo into bed. "Donnie, how long will it be until my arm is back to where it was?"

"I don't know Leo, I didn't think it was hurt this bad, but apparently a muscle was torn or something. It could take days or weeks or possibly months. I have no idea." Said Donnie.

"Well, I'm gonna hope for days." Said Leo, as he tried to find a good position on his back, he never slept on his back and he couldn't sleep on his side without it hurting. "God, I hate being in pain. But no more sneaky shots Donnie!"

"No, more shots, I don't think it would be a good idea anyway otherwise I would have. The pain should lessen as time goes on Leo. Just take it easy and try not to move too much to upset the stitches." Said Donnie as he went to the door. "Sleep late Leo, I'm serious you need the rest."

"Fine, Night." Said Leo. Donnie, left but Mikey was still there looking down at Leo with a thoughtful look on his face. "What Mikey?"

"Leo, you know it wasn't Raph's fault right?" asked Mikey

"I don't want to talk about it Mike. Donnie's right I need to sleep." Said Leo as he shut his eyes to shut out Mikey.

"Leo, he was sick, he didn't know what he was doing." Said Mikey desperately has he went to sit by Leo's bedside.

"I don't want to talk about it Mike so DROP IT." Said a now agitated Leo.

"Raph is sorry. You have to know that. He didn't mean it." Said Mikey

"Is he Mikey? Is he? No, sure he didn't mean to cut me up, but he meant what he said. I know he did. I just didn't realize how much he hated me. Now I know and I will stay the hell out of his way. I want nothing to do with him. So don't go and try to make it right Mikey cause it ain't he HATES me do you understand? He actually HATES me; apparently he hated me for a while. Well you know what I don't know why he hates me but he does and I just don't care." Said Leo.

"Leo, he doesn't hate you. Sure Raph can be a pain, but he don't hate you. He says stuff he don't mean all the time." Said Mikey gently.

"Wrong, Mikey. You are not going to fix this, you can't and you know what maybe your not supposed to. Maybe this happened for a reason, maybe this happened to make me open my eyes and see that I'm not a good leader, that maybe Raph should be the leader. Good Leaders do not have their own brother's hating him. But I do, and you know what hurts the most Mikey? I don't hate him." Said Leo as silent tears flowed down his face.

"Leo. I'm sure Raph don't hate you. You're his big brother, our leader, he don't hate you." Said Mikey

"Mikey, just go to bed. I don't want to talk any more." Said a worn out Leo.

"Ok, but only because your tired, and you need to rest. We will continue to talk tomorrow." Said Mikey.

"Night, Mikey." Said Leo. Mikey closed the door behind him and saw Raph standing by his doorway.

"Raph?" asked Mikey.

"God, I screwed up bad Mikey." Said Raph and he turned around and locked the world out.
