A/N- I have nothing to say about this. I hope the story will speak for itself...

Numbness is a funny thing.

When others were around it is easy to hide. Cover it with smiles and laughs and a sarcastic sense of humor.

But alone it is like a monster, eating you from the inside out.

There is no inspiration, no motivation to even move.

It is a feeling that cannot be put into words.

Forgotten.

Failed.

Alone.

And Neal hated it.
