Wednesday:

Well if I thought I was tired yesterday, today I'm drop dead tired. After getting home I couldn't sleep to well because every time I'd try to close my eyes, Justin was pinning me to wall of the diner again. Getting to school this morning was scary because I thought I was going to fall asleep and once I was at school it was a huge relief, except for the fact I knew there was a chance I would run into to Justin and that was a very unpleasant thought. 

"Morning Leo."

I spin around so fast that I forget my back pack and books are sitting on the ground and I end up tripping over everything. I would have fallen face first onto the ground if Raph hadn't caught me....

"Woah, you ok?" you ask, I try to stand up a little straighter, but find your arms are around me. I can feel myself blushing like crazy and my heart is ready to jump out of my chest.

"I'm ok, you just startled me that's all."

"More like you were falling asleep at your locker."

"I was not!"

"Were to Leo, I can tell just by looking at your eyes, you're exhausted." you say and I sigh in defeat. 

"I couldn't close my eyes for more than two seconds with out last nights events repeating itself." I say quietly and I feel your grip on me get tighter.

"Justin is such a fucking asshole!" You say with such anger in your voice it makes me shiver, just then the bell rings and I pull away from you to grab my things.

"We have to go to class."

"I know, try not to fall asleep in your classes."

"I'll try my best."

I get to math class and right as I sit down I can already tell April knows something is wrong.

"My god Leo, did you sleep at all last night?"

"Not really."

"Why."

"It's a long story, I'll explain later." 

Lunch:

I took my time heading to lunch today, I was excited to see everyone but I really wasn't looking forward to retelling what happened with Justin last night. In fact I feel sick just thinking about it. It takes me a minute to find the others and thankfully Donnie and Mikey are the only ones at the table so far, which will give me a few more minutes without having to explain what happened.

"Hi guys" I say sitting down across from them.

"Hey Leo"

"Dude you look like you haven't slept in a week!" Mikey says

"It feels like I haven't slept in a week" I say with a small laugh.

"What happened?" Donnie asks.

"I'll explain when everyone get's here."

A couple minutes later, April and Casey join us at the lunch table. I guess I can go ahead and start explaining what happened, but I have to wonder where Raph is he usually is here by now.

"So?" April asks sitting down, I must look like shit because everyone else looks super worried. Before I'm able to begin Raph shows up and I am relieved you are here at least I won't have to tell everyone what happened alone. You set your tray down, but you remain standing.

"Hi guys, i'll be right back." 

"Raph you just got here man." Casey says.

"I know and i'll be back in a few minutes." You say and I look in the direction your staring before I can say anything you take off towards the exit in the lunchroom. I stand up as well and grab my bag.

"Casey will you come with me please, we have a problem and I may need your help." I say quickly and everyone looks at me super confused.

"What's the problem."

"Raph is the problem now come on!" I say taking off in the direction you went

I rush around the corner and through the school doors outside and thankfully Casey followed without further questions. It doesn't take us long to catch up to Raph but you're only centimeters away from Justin.

"Come here you Fucking Prick!" I here you yell and watch as you grab Justin and practically throw him against the wall.

"Now you listen here! If you ever bother Leonardo again I'm going to make sure you end up in the hospital by the time I'm done with you!" 

I can tell you are getting ready to punch Justin, just by looking at the stance you were in.

"RAPH!" I yell before you have the chance to do so, you turn your head and I rush up and pull you away.

"What the hell Leo?"

"Trust me Raph you don't want to hit Justin."

"Are you kidding me Leo he fucking attacked you last night and you're protecting him right now."

"I'm not protecting him, I'm protecting you!"

"Protecting me? How is this protecting me I can handle myself against this no good son of a bitch!"

"I don't doubt you can handle yourself Raph!"

"Then please move so I can teach him a lesson." You say stepping around me and I see Justin getting ready to fight back.

"Casey grab Justin!" I say and I pull you back and stand in front of you again.

"Raph if you hit Justin, you're football career will be over! You are a damn good quarter back and that could just possibly get you a scholarship from a college! Trust me after the trouble he gave me last night I would love to see the snot get kicked out of him, but Raph you have to think about your team and your future. If you want to keep playing football you have to let this go!"

"Leo I see where your coming from, but if I don't do anything he is just going to attack you again!"

"Raph there are other ways to get back at someone, besides beating the hell out of them."

"Like what Leo?"

"By taking away something that is important to him!"

"Again Leo Like What?"

"Football."

"And how do I do that Leo? I may be the captain of our team, but I don't have a say in play time?"

"There are two ways you could take this Raph, you either tell your coach what happened or you give Justin one last chance for your team."

"Another chance you've lost it Leo!"

"Raph think about it! If you lose a player from your team it effects everyone. If you put the possibility of him never playing football again if he screws up then he may straighten himself out."

You take a minute to think and after a while you let out a sigh. I think I finally got through to you. Not saying anything else you pull me into a hug and I cling to you for a minute.

"Thank you" You whisper in my ear and I nod my head.

"Alright Justin you better listen up! You are going to have one of two choices. Choice number one involves me going to coach Berch and telling him about you harassing Leo and jumping him last night."

"You have no proof besides Leo's words"

"You're wrong! Pete the owner of the diner across the street would be more than willing to back us up. Now choice number Two involves me not saying a word to coach and allows you to stay on the football team, but if you ever harass or try to beat Leo up again I will not hesitate to take both cases to coach and have you kicked off the team! I honestly hope you chose your team over taking petty order from Karai and I sure as hell hope you start thinking for yourself! Now what choice do you choose?" 

"I'll take option number Two!" Justin says immediately

"Good" you say and you turn away from Justin, walking back towards me you grab my hand and I smile.

"Alright now that has been taken care of are you two ready to go eat lunch?" Casey asks, both of us shake our heads yes and walk back inside.

"What on earth just happened?" April asks as soon as we sit down.

"Raph just almost knocked the lights out of Justin." Casey says with a laugh.

"Wait, What? Why?" April asks looking at Raph and I for an explanation 

So I take a few minutes and explain to everyone that after I had left the game, Justin and a couple others jumped me and would have probably beaten the hell out of me if it weren't for Pete.

"I sure as hell wouldn't mind giving Justin a fist to the face!" April says fuming and we all laugh at how pissed she got, after that though lunch was fairly pleasant. When the bell rings we pick up our mess and head out the door.

"Leo wait just a minute please."

"Yeah Raph?"

"Thank you for clearing my head. I was just so angry for what he did to you that I lost it."

"I know you were." I say wrapping my arms around your waist and you wrap your arms around my shoulders.

"Are you still up for our date on Saturday?" you ask and I smile

"I wouldn't miss it!"
