Leo jolted upright, eyes snapping open as he tried to steady his breathing. Images of Mikey bleeding out on the floor flashed through his mind, his baby brother's screams of agony, echoing through his thoughts. Swinging his feet to the side of the bed, Leo stared down at his hands.
"how could i let Mickey get hurt. How could i let this happen." He thought to himself, shaking his head slightly as he stood up and left for the kitchen.
He stopped infront of the fridge, glaring at the handle. A sudden thought nibbled it's way into his mind, nestling itself next to his common sense. Turning around, he departed the kitchen, making his way towards the Lab instead.
Donnie lay sprawled across his desk, papers littered across the floor, light pouring out of his computer which sat next to him, ready and waiting. Leo snuck across the room towards the medicine cabinet, avoiding the bed where Mikey slept, pain creasing his young face slightly. Reaching up, he dug through the cupboard in search for the stomach pills Donnie had discovered on the surface. His had wrapped around the small bottle, heart pounding as he scanned the label. These pills would surely assist him in losing some weight. "Then i'll never fail you again." He whispered, smiling sadly at Mikey's sleeping form.
After unscrewing the lid, he popped one or two pills in his mouth, swallowing them dry. A burning sensation coursed through his stomach which emitted a small churning noise. Clutching the pill bottle, he slipped off to the bathroom, throwing himself infront of the toilet as his stomach emptied out any left over content from last nights dinner. His face contorted in agony as the burning increased. A whimper escaped his lips, insides feeling as though they were being torn apart. He soon collapsed to the side of the toilet, gasping for breathe which came in short and ragged pants. Smiling, he looked down at his body, proud of what he'd accomplished sofar, knowing that he would have to repeat this each day.
"That's ok." He choked. "Anything to make them happy."
