  Summary

  He thought he could handle it. Thought he could push through his problems with a smile in place.

  But he can't. He's not strong enough for it.

  He's defiantly not strong enough to keep seeing the look of hurt on his family's faces. A look he, himself put there with just his mare existence. He should leave, it'll be easier for everyone involved.

  He's easily replaceable anyway.

  Or

  Leo runs away when his problems get too much for him.

  Story about recovery and trying to see the light when you're at rock bottom
