TMNT Leo's Love Story

1. How She Is With Living With Her Grandmother

It has been 2 weeks since Kayla's family has been killed. It has been really hard for her to get past it. Every night when she tries to sleep, she can't get the scene out of her head. She has been so depressed that she hasn't been able to come out of her room.

Her grandmother was getting worried about her.

Her grandma went to her room and knocked on the door, "Kayla, are you okay? You need to come out and eat. You haven't eaten since Sunday and It's Wednesday." she sounded worried.

Kayla said, "I know, Grandma but I just need time to think about what I am going to do. How am I supposed to just forget about it and just move on with my life? If I can do anything to get it out of my mind, I would go find a job but I can't because I am 15 years old and I don't know any places that are hiring."

Kayla was about to breakdown into tears again until she thought about a restaurant that she used to go to with her parents all of the time.

She ran out the door of her room and yelled to her grandma that she'll be back soon and ran out the door of the apartment.

Kayla finally arrived at the restaurant and went in to see her friend Mr. Murakami making some yummy food for the customers at their tables. He must've sensed me because he turned to my direction and welcomed me back.

"Hello Miss Kayla, how are you and your family doing? I haven't heard from you in a while."

This made Kayla upset because when he asked how her family was doing she started to tear up but wiped it away quickly so no one else saw.

"Um... can I talk to you in the back about that?"

He smiled at her and motioned her to follow him to the back.

As soon as they went to the back, she broke down and fell to her knees.

"Kayla, what is wrong? What happened?"

"It's about my family. They.... they were killed in the middle of the night two weeks ago and I did nothing to stop it from happening. I heard screams and cries but I figured it was the babies because babies always wake up in the middle of the night. When I woke up, no one was running around and my parents weren't up either which was strange because they always wake up before me. I decided to go to their room and check on them. But, when I got into the room, everyone was on the bed stabbed to death and my parents looked like they were trying to protect the kids. It was horrifying to see." she explained to him and then started to sob harder.

"Oh Kayla, I am so sorry this happened to you. Did you want me to do anything for you?"

"I came over to see if you wanted any employees so you can get things done and make it easier for yourself. I wanted to know if I can work here so I can try to get on with my life and try to get my mind off of it."

"Of course you can Kayla, I would love the help around the place. You can help me whenever you want to start. It's up to you."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Murakami. Can I start tomorrow night?"

"Sure you can. Just make sure to stay calm and act like you know my special customers that come around 8 o'clock because they are different than other people."

'Why? What's different about them that I have to remain calm?' I thought to myself. "ok"

"Good, I am excited for you to start working with me. This will be so much easier for me to cook and you serve the meals for me than me doing it all by myself," he said excitedly.

"Yeah, I guess I will see you tomorrow then. Bye!"

"Bye!"
