Why do you hate me?

Chapter 17

Narrator's POV

Raph walked into the lab and instantly, Donnie gagged at the smell.

"Oh god, what is that smell? My nose is burning." Donnie commented and Raph dropped the bag he got from Leo's closet onto the lab table, making the stench intensifying. Donnie pinched his nose in disgust. "What is in there? It smells horrible."

"Hey Don, soup's don...what's that smell?" Mikey asked as he walked in and Raph shrugged.

"I don't know, but I found it in Leo's room locked inside his closet. Whatever's in here tho is rotting as we speak." Raph said, gagging as the smell got into his mouth and Donnie gave him a mask along with Mikey and himself.

"This smells worse than when Mikey ate Casey's chill." Donnie recalled and they all shuddered, yeah that was horrifying memory to remember.

"I still can smell it, but this is way worse." Raph said as Donnie opened the bag for everyone to see it and they looked away in disgust, it looked way worse than they thought. "That's disgusting." Mikey tilted his head in curiousity before dipping his finger inside, rubbing the substance together with fingers and sniffing it. Then he licked it making Raph gag and Donnie vomit in the trash bin at his desk. Donnie sat back up and looked at Mikey.

"Michelangelo, you better have a good reason why you just licked whatever this stuff is." Donnie said.

"I wanted to know what is it." Mikey said and Donnie's eyes widened.

"By tasting it?! Do you not smell the stench that is coming from that crap?! Honestly I'm afraid to even touch it and you basically ate it. Don't even think of kissing me until you disinfect your mouth with toothpaste and soap as well as disinfectant spray." Mikey frowned and Donnie scooped some substance out, putting it his microscope to analyze it.

"Well what is it, Don?" Raph asked and Donnie sat up as he turned pale from the thoughts that were going his head.

"This is not happening, this is not happening right now." Donnie said in disbelief of what he saw and he started to tear up, making Mikey and Raph concern.

"Dee, Baby you're scaring us. What's wrong, what was that stuff?" Mikey asked.

"It's decomposed food and Emesis, I can't believe it." Raph and Mikey looked at each other, they have no idea what Emesis means.

"Um Donnie, you're going to have dumb that down. What does Emesis mean?" Raph asked and Donnie let some of tears fall.

"It's means vomit, that bag is filled with rotten food and vomit." Raph's eyes widened.

"Leo's vomit?" Donnie nodded.

"Over a month worth of rotten food and Leo's vomit." Raph felt his throat in his stomach, he couldn't believe it.

"You mean Leo's anorexic?" Mikey gasped, he know what that word meant at least.

"Leo's starving himself?" Mikey asked and Donnie started sobbing in fear of losing his best friend, Mikey hugged Donnie closed while Raph let a tear fall. He felt like it was his fault. Splinter walked in.

"I felt a disturbance, what is wrong my sons?" He said, no one answered, for they were still crying, and they didn't have to. Splinter saw the results from Donnie's microscope, he sighed in devastation. "Where is your brother?" Donnie sniffled and wiped his tears.

"Asleep Sensei." Donnie answered and Splinter nodded.

"When he wakes up, we will address this matter." Splinter put his hand on Raph's shoulder, making him look up. "We will get through this, as a family."
