6 Covered tracks

Leo's POV:

I couldnt believe what I was witnessing.

Once my eyes got used to the light in the room everything was very clear.Y/n was sitting on the bed staring into space.Her whole body was shaking and she was gasping trying to catch her breath.

Her eyes were so wide with tears going down,her face was very pale.Her hands and wrists were covered in blood from the knife she was holding tight in her right hand.

On the other hand,she was holding what looked like a phone,a small phone.

"Y/n..."was the only word that came out of my lips from the shock.My eyes became watery from what I've been seeing.I felt so bad for her.

Her body twitched and when she turned to look at me,the look she had on her face...

"Leo...?"she was able to whisper to me.I ran next to her to look at the situation.I couldnt think straight and didnt know what to do.I was in so much shock I didnt even think to stop the bleeding.

"DONNIE!!!"I shouted at the top of my lungs while holding her bloody hands.

Her grip on the two objects loosened,resulting them to fall on the ground.Her body started relaxing and she started falling forward but I caught her before her body fell on he ground.

That's when I heard a gasp coming from behind me.I turned and looked at the door to see Donnie and Mikey,looking at us shocked.

Donnie ran to us and checked her wrists.His eyes widened before he spoke."She hit a vein!We need to stop the bleeding now!!!"he shouted.

When I heard his words,I was even more scared and shocked.Normally,I'd try and control myself but right now...I was scared too death...scared that I might lose my friend...and it will be my fault.God,I wish I was here sooner.I could've helped her.I should've--

"LEO!"Donnie shouted at me.I turned to look at him snapping out of my thoughts.

"We need to get her to the lab!"he said.I nodded and took her in my arms.We ran to Donnies lab and I carefully placed her on the table.

"Ok,I need you to wait outside.If I need any help,I'll call you ok?"he said to us while he placed an anesthetic in her in order for him to work on her.

I just stood there,frozen.Mikey took me out of the lab,since I didnt want to leave her,and we both sat in the living room.

*1 hour later*

We were still waiting in the living room when we heard the lab doors open.I instantly looked towards the direction of my brother.

He looked pretty tired and shocked himself.I walked up to him."Is she ok?"I asked.

Donnie looked at me and after a few seconds he gave me a firm nod.I felt my entire body relaxing.

"I needed to stitch her cuts since they were deep enough,she lost quite a lot of blood so she will have to stay in bed for a couple of days.I put an anesthetic in her so she would sleep and regain her strength and um...sanity."he said to us full doctor Donnie mode

Wait...sanity?

"What do you mean,sanity?"I asked confused.

He sighed."Well,she might have been under a very bad situation causing PTSD.Something might have triggered some sort of panic attack.Maybe a big change in her life or something traumatic happened to her."

I instantly knew what this was about.Maybe something that had to do with her father.

Or her older sister or her mom.I might have to check it out.

Wait...the phone she was holding,maybe it has the answer.I should take a look on it later.

"Leo?"I heard Donnie say."Can I speak to you?"

I nodded and he motioned me to come in the lab.I followed him as we entered the lab.

On the table,Y/n was laid down sleeping peacefully.Donnie walked up to her and gently took one of her wrists in his hands.

Her hands had fresh stitches but I could also see something else.I looked closer and understood what.I gasped as I put my hand over my mouth.

Healing scars like these ones were all over her arms all the way up to her shoulder.

I couldnt believe my eyes.Donnie placed her wrist dow .

"I know..."Donnie said clearly affected too."I can see she hasn't done it for a while but what she has done to herself is still very critical.It's clear she has been under a lot of stress.We need to keep an eye on her and at somepoint even talk to her about it."

"How long till she wakes up?"I asked."Probably in a few hours."he said looking at her."Has she told you anything?"

"About what?"I asked.

"You know...did something happen to her a while back?What has she told you about herself exactly?"

I stopped for a moment to think.I really wanted to talk to thin about what she's been through but I feel like I'm betraying her trust.

But again if I dont tell him,eventually he'll figure it out on his own.

"Well...there are a few things that might explain that."I said quietly.

Donnie looked at me waiting for an answer as if his life was depending on it."What things exactly?"he asked me.

I exhaled as I began telling him."Well,first of all...her mother and her older sister abandoned them years ago.After that,she had to deal with her alcoholic father..."I paused remembering her voice in my head.

'My dad started drinking after they left...a lot actually.He always needed to take his anger out on someone.And apparently that someone was...m-me'

"The night that I met her,she was running away from her father after he attempted to kill her while being drunk."

'I dont think it's safe if I go back home'

I guess that was the reason she didnt want to go back.

Donnies eyes widened.He then looked at her sleeping figure,his eyes filled with worry.

"And the next day she got home...she found him...dead on the couch.The doctors said he committed suicide."

I was feeling horrible at the moment.She has been through so much without deserving it.

"And tonight,she was attacked in her apartment by thugs.They trashed her apartment.Thats the reason I brought her here,till things calm down a little."

"Oh my..."he whispered."Why her?".Those two words were spinning in my thoughts all the time since I learned the truth.Why her?Out of all the people,her?

"I know bro."I said when a tear fell down my eye.

After a few seconds he left the table and went to his computer.I looked back at her.I couldn't believe she would do such a horrible thing to herself.

I couldn't blame her though.I've been in the same path as her,when Splinter died.It was hard to get out of that path,not gonna lie,but with a little help,I was able to recover from what happened.

I looked at my wrist.I carefully took off the wrap and looked at it.The scars were still there,but that was the consequence for doing this to myself.

"Get some rest,I'll watch over her."I heard Donnie say to me.

I recapped my wrist.I didnt want to leave her,but I should,if I want to find out what happened.

"Thanks D."I said as I started walking out of the lab but before I got out,I turned to him.

"Donnie?"

Donnie turned to face me."If she wakes up and I'm not here,please let me know,ok?"I said.He gave me a nod with a warm comforting smile and turned back to this computer.

I left the lab and headed to the room she was staying for the night.The knife and the small phone were still on the floor.

I picked up the phone and turned it on.When it opened it took me to a video in the gallery.

The video was 10 minutes long so I sat on the bed and pressed play.

Yayyy.Another cliffhanger.

Oof...this chapter was HARD but not gonna lie,I think it turned out good.What do you think?Until next time.Bye.
