This is ridiculous I know, alot has been going on...alot of inspiration for a brand new story really. Sorry this is late, sorry this is short but I promise I am already working on the next chapter. However, if anyone has any ideas for this story I would love to hear other perspectives.
Having heard what Mikey had done the night previous all three eldest brothers confidence was significantly lowered.
Raph took the news worse out of all the brothers, "I can't believe after such a good day he would do that! It's not fair! Why would he do that, aren't these meds supposed to be clearing his head?!"
L.H. held back a sigh as he looked at the hot headed turtle with apologetic eyes, "yes my friend but you must understand that Michelangelo is still recovering, it's only been a few days since he woke up and the antidepressants will take a few weeks to take full effect. You must be aware that this process will take time if you wish to get Michelangelo back to good health."
"Egh, you're right. So now what?"
Don checked the clock, "well considering its already seven in the morning I suggest we make our daily plans."
Raph smirked, "me and Mike are painting a boat today." And with that Raph went to the other room to sleep a little, Leo sighed, "at least he has a plan, I believe me and Mikey will make origami today, it's my fault he cut himself, I started with a violent recreation."
Don shook his head, "that was his choice Leo, it's fine, that sounds like a good plan though! Calming. I think I will let him help make a meal for him and Raph to eat on the boat."
L.H. nodded in approval of these plans, "Very nice, today I believe I will start trying to make my questions more personal today so do not fret if Michelangelo seems out of sorts, these questions may have a negative effect but need to be asked."
The two remaining turtles nodded, "holy shit!"
The three looks up in horror as they heard Raph yell, immediately they were in the other room. "Raph wha- what the hell...Mikey!"
Don and L.H. quickly rushed around the youngest to evaluate what had happened, "it appears he has reopened the cut and has made it even worse then the original wound...but with what?"
Raph growled as he held a piece of broken hard plastic up, the sharp point of it already covered in blood. Leo took the small piece of plastic in his hand, "h-how? Why?"
"Its apart of the damn blinds, he broke a piece off."
Each of them looked over at the curtained window to see broken blinds scattered on the ground. "How in the hell did we not hear this?!" Raph all but yelled.
Mikey woke a bit at this, his whole arm now covered in blood from the uncomforting gash on his wrist. "S-sorry guys, I did it again..."
With a swift second L.H. bundled Mikey up in his arms and quickly rushed to his own room laying Mikey on an old medical table, Mikey was pale and cold his breath came out in laboured pants. All three brothers were found rushing around in desperate attempts to follow L.H.s commands for needed medical supplies.
Soon enough Leo came with a pail of water, Don with a medical kit and Raph with tons of his very own gauze. "Is he ganna be alright!? He's struggling to breath!" Hearing Raphs voice on the brink of hysteria Leo carefully guided the angry teared Raphael out to the living room. He tried to calm both Raph and himself as he heard a paniced conversation between L.H. and Donatello.
In less then an hour all was calm once more leaving the three eldest and L.H. all surrounding Mikey as he woke lazily. "Did I... oh."
Raph frowned, "Yea your still alive, sorry bout cha luck there Mike- what the shell were you thinkin'?!"
Mikey trembled as he spoke in a low voice, "You don't get it. You didn't kill father! Try having that on your conscious! I have to join him!"
Leo growled angrily."And waste an act of pity on you?! Mikey think about it damnit! Get a hold of yourself! He did that so you wouldn't die, don't take that act in vain!"
Mikey looked down, "your right" he mumbled.
L.H. seeing arising tension soon enough spoke up, "I think it's time we all get the day started." With that each brother hesitantly left leaving Mikey and L.H. alone. "Michelangelo, you must be honest no matter how harsh the reality of the answer may be. Understood?"
Mikey nodded curious about just what questions he would be asked. "Was this recent act today an attempted suicide?"
Mikey nodded honestly.
"Lets start from the beginning then, how did all this self harm and alcoholism start?"
Mikey shifted uncomfortably, "I guess from the night I saved that kid."
L.H. scribbled the new info down as he gestured Mikey to go on. "I had caught the kid about to jump off the building highly intoxicated and bleeding from his wrists."
L.H. nodded ,"Did you have nightmares after this episode?"
Mikey hesitently nodded.
"Did you ever tell your brothers about this terrifying event or that you had nightmares?"
"I told them very minimum...they wouldn't listen anyways."
L.H.s eyes rose a bit at that, "are sure about that statement?"
Mikey nodded, "positive."
"Are you saying they don't care about you?"
Mikey sighed, "obviously they do now only because I have tried to kill myself but if I hadn't gone through all this mess? I'd still be miserable."
L.H. clicked a nail against his clip board, "And you're not miserable now?"
Mikey sniffed at that, tears started to stream down his face, "OF COURSE I AM FUCKING MISERABLE!"
L.H. gasped in surprise as Mikey started ripping at the gauze around his wrists making him bleed once more. "I need help in here!" L.H. called out as he held Mikey down.
"Not again!" Don called as he Leo and Raph grabbed Mikeys arms and legs.
"Calm the hell down Mikey, you're scaring us." Raph called as he cupped Mikeys face in desperation.
"LET ME GO DAMNIT! LET ME GO!"
Leo was scared no doubt, he was weak from desperation but he still found the strength to call out, "WE WILL NOT EVER LET YOU GO!"
The chant immediately got a response as Mikey relaxed, "fine. Just...just fix me." Mikey wiped a tear away, "please."
