Lover Of My Mutated Heart

Chapter 27 (Still In Surgery) Leo p.o.v.

Casey went ballistic, literally. He was screaming, cursing, sobbing and crying, scratching and clawing at the door. He kicked it and pounded on screamed NG nonstop. He was crazy. He slid down against the door and we didn't know why he was acting this way until he screamed, "You promised, Raph! You promised you wouldn't die on me! You swore it!" I looked at everyone with watery eyes. I leaned in close to master splinter and whispered, "Should we take Casey to a bed?" He nodded sadly and looked away. I tried to pick him up but he fought me. A blow landed on one of my cheeks and another landed on my left eye. Mikey got up from his fetus position and tried to help me with him. He scratched, bit, kicked, and screeched. A couple seconds later, April and Sensei pitched in. I grabbed his left foot, Mikey got his right one while Master Splinter had his right wrist and April held the left. He fought even harder and screamed, "It's my fault! I did this! Pleas let me see him!" I stared at him and looked forward as Splinter pinched a nerve in the crook of his neck. He still whimpered and tears still streamed down his face, but he was no longer struggling. I looked at everyone and they were crying except Sensei. "The guest room?" I suggested to them and they nodded. After we put him in the bed I ran to the lab door and knocked calmly. "We need restraints," I said without emotion. I heard the door unlock and Hope came out with Psycho Ward restraints. She looked at me sadly and whispered. "We lost him at first, but we got him back. We fought for him, Leo. We still are," I hugged and cried as she rubbed my plastron gently. To chuckled and looked at her and asked, "Is he fighting to stay too?" She bit her lip and nodded. But before she entered the lab again she whispered, "His heart.... It was... is cancer," I looked the door and heard it being locked on the other side. "Cancer? Raph has a heart cancer?" I shook my head and ran back to the guest room with the restraints. We put them on him and Splinter checked his pulse. They looked at in shock as I blurted, "Raph has cancer!"
We all waited in the living room. Mikey curled up in fetus position again and April stared at the ground. Master Splinter and I meditated. It has been six hours since the surgery began. Another hour passed slowly and then another. We heard the lab door unlocked and snapped our heads towards it. Donnie came out and looked around. "Where's Casey?" His voice cracked at the beginning of the sentence. "He is restrained at the moment, Donatello," Splinters voice answered and Donnie nod. "He made it and we removed two of the rumors on his heart. In five months we have to remove the rest of them," his voice soft and gentle. Hope came out and whispered into Donnie's ear. He nodded and they went back into the lab. Suddenly, a gurney came out of the lab and Raph was laying on it. He had bandages around his leg and chest. He had a lot of medical equipment plugged up to him. Hope pushed the medical equipment, Donnie pushed the gurney and we followed. They put him in the guest room with Casey. Hope set up two curtains around the beds like in a hospital movie. Donnie was on the left side of the room, tending Raph. Hope to the left side of the room closed the curtain too. "Please close the door," Donnie requested. We closed the door and walked back to the living room. We sat there staring at the floor with our bodies shaking with different emotions.
