I don't own TMNT!

Harley's POV

I yawned and opened my eyes with a slight smile on my lips. I felt so much better today. Rolling over I expected to see Leo but met air. He wasn't there. My heart stopped and I shot off the cot and to the lab door. My eyes searched the lair frantically.

"I'm not tired Don. Just leave me alone!" Leo's voice yelled from the training area.

My eyes moved over and I watched Leo stalk off towards his room. Don stood still in shock. I walked behind him and stared after Leo, confused.

"What happened?" I asked, my voice was a little hoarse from misuse. Don jumped and spun around to face me.

"Harley! I was about to check on you. How are you feeling?" he asked.

"I'm fine. What happened with Leo?" I asked. Donnie shook his head.

"I don't know really. He was practicing and looked really tired so I asked him if he had slept at all and suggested he rest," he said. My confused look was back.

"I should go check on him," I said. Donnie gave me a worried look.

"Are you sure you're up for it?" he asked.

I was starting to get annoyed by his questions but he was concerned about me. I nodded and offered him a small smile. I quietly tip toed up the stairs and down the hall. I could here three distinct snores and crept to the last door. Tapping softly on the wood I opened the door a small ways and peeked in. My eyes widened and I closed the door to block the shuriken. It landed with a thunk and I opened the door again, looking at the metal star lodged in the wood. Leo stood with his shell to me breathing heavily. I slipped inside and pulled out the shuriken before closing the door.

"Using me for target practice?" I teased fingering the star. Leo whirled around and his face clouded with guilt.

"Harley! I didn't know you were awake! I'm sorry I just-"I put a hand over his mouth.

"Didn't want to talk to anyone, I get it," I finished for him and dropped my hand.

Leo's shoulders slumped some and he sat on his bed. I joined him and started to massage his tense muscles. He sighed and let his head drop forward. I smirked and loosened them up.

"So you wanna tell me what happened between you and Donnie?" I asked casually.

Leo tensed again and shook his head. I continued massaging his shoulders and he eventually fell asleep. I gently laid him on his bed noticing the dark rings under his eyes. Sighing quietly I covered his body with a blanket and left the room. My brow creased worriedly as I closed the door. He was acting strangely. I moved down the hall and found some of the doors open. Moving to the stairs I was about to walk down when I was almost run over by my sister. I managed to hold onto her arm and stop her. She swung around gave me a glare that I returned with an alarmed expression.

"Kayla? What's wrong?" I asked.

"What's wrong is your boyfriend yelling at mine for no reason. I mean seriously Harley I can't-"she stopped and stared at me. Suddenly I was enveloped in a bone crushing hug. "Oh my god Harley are you okay?"

"Ch-choking," I managed to get out. Kayla let go and held me at arm's length.

"I was so worried about you. Don't you ever do that!" she yelled.

I cringed and stared at the floor. I guess last night was as scary for them as it was for me. I was pulled into another hug and started choking again. Someone's door opened behind Kayla and Jade leaned against the frame with an irritated look.

"What the hell are you yelling about Kayla? It's like ten in the morning you know that right?" she grumbled with closed eyes.

She opened her eyes and glared at Kayla. Her gaze moved up and met mine from where I was being crushed. Her tired eyes widened and she joined Kayla in effectively suffocating me.

"What happened to you yesterday? Do you know how worried we all were?" she asked.

"S-still ch-choking," I gasped. They released me but looked expectantly at me.

"What did happen?" Kayla asked. I thought back to the dream and tears filled my eyes. I closed them and shook my head.

"It was just a nightmare. I'd rather not talk about it," I told them.

They gave me equal looks of concern but didn't ask any more questions. Kayla grabbed my hand and started to lead me downstairs. Jade followed behind with a curious look on her face. We walked through the lair and towards the kitchen. I looked around and didn't see anyone else, they must still be sleeping. Kayla pulled me through the door way into the kitchen and let go of my hand. Something crashed into my stomach making me fall on my shell. Craning my neck I glanced up at the small body that latched itself onto my plastron like a barnacle. Astrid looked up at me with worried eyes.

"Your okay," she told me. I smiled back at her.

"I promised I would never leave you," I said.

Her smile brightened and she climbed off me. I rocked back and forth on my shell and eventually made it to a kneeling position. I was about to stand when someone else dropped to their knees in front of me and pulled me into another hug. I noticed Amber's white bandanna tails and sighed.

"I'm fine. You guys really need to stop worrying," I said. Amber pulled back and looked at me.

"You can't blame us for caring," she said quietly. I smiled at her and stood up. Amber shot up with me.

"I made breakfast!" she sang.

We all smiled at her and made our way to the table. Kayla called the boys but only Donnie came and joined us. Amber smiled widely as she placed large plates of pancakes in front of each of us. I started shoveling food in my mouth not realizing how hungry I was. I looked around at everyone else and saw them talking and laughing. I couldn't help but smile at all of them. They were my family, no matter how weird, and we would stick together.

Alright! So I am going to write a sequel but it may not be as long and you will have to wait because I need to figure it all out. Right now I am trying to end the story where I can pick it up in the sequel. Anyways tell me what you think! R&R!
