Neal sobbed, and sobbed, and sobbed his heart out. He was so sure that today was the day that he would announce his love for Kel. 'Damn Dom' Neal thought angrily. 'Why does he win all the hearts of girls...especially those I love!' Hatred and sadness were in his eyes when the evil voice in his head said ' maybe it's just because Dom is a beauty and all girls fawn over him, no one would fall for a boy who was as common as any Tortallian boy. You have no special beauty that would make girls like you but Dom has, Dom has brown hair almost black and blue eyes, every girl would fall for blue eyes. Yuki only liked you because you were friends with Dom.' Neal spat. "That is not true!" he argued uselessly. 'Is too...' The voice faded off because Neal had given up.

Neal kept crying for a half of a candlestick before someone, Neal had guessed Dom, burst into his rooms. "GET OUT!!!" Neal shouted at Dom only loud enough for him to hear. "I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!!!" he put emphasis on the word alone. Neal threw the first thing he grabbed at Dom and it broke against the wall. Sadly it was the waving cat figurine that Kel gave to him witch angered Neal even more. "Meathead?" Dom asked. 'Neal has never acted this way before...' "Are you okay Sir. Meathead?" Dom asked cautiously hoping to cheer him up.
It didn't work. "CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE? AND STOP CALLING ME THAT NAME!!!!" Dom started "Neal please..." "JUST GO AWAY!!!" Dom left after being hit with another Yamani cat. Dom thought 'what just happened...'

After Dom left, Neal went to the door and stated trying to put together the cats with his hands and using his gift as glue, But his hands were to shaky and he couldn't concentrate well enough to use his gift.

Kel rushed along the hallway, her long, shoulder length hair trailing behind her. The ends had even started to curl (to Kel's hidden joy.) "NEAL!" she shouted but she knew she wasn't close enough for him to hear. When she finally reached the door, Kel took a breather. Kel heard a noise. 'Was that coming from Neal's room?' she thought. It was. Kel heard sobbing, stronger than when Neal broke up with Yuki. 'Strange' Kel thought 'Neal isn't one to cry about much'. Kel opened the door a crack and slipped in. "Neal?" she called softly when she couldn't see him.

Neal stopped sobbing at stiffened. "Kel?" he said, voice hoarse from crying. Kel turned to see him at the door, staring at her. Neal instantly turned from her gaze. She saw the two Yamani cats that she gave to Neal, broken on the Floor. Kel studied Neal and bit her lip. He was obviously sad about something and his eyes were bloodshot. Kel could also tell that he missed lunch. "Why were you crying?" Kel finally asked. "I wasn't crying!" Neal answered. But Kel argued "Yes you were, I heard you!" after a pause she said "What happened?" When he wouldn't answer her she said "Neal look at me!" when he wouldn't she put two cold fingers under his chin and gently pushed up. Kel looked into his eyes and saw that there was barely any white in them. They were red. "Neal what's wrong?" She was worried about her best friend, who was a healer. "Neal you should've known better!" Kel argued. When that didn't work she tried to comfort him. "Get away Keladry!" Neal said sternly, but his voice was starting to quiver, and his eyes were starting to tear again. "Neal..." she said "you can trust me...can't you?" Neal thought for a moment the replied harshly and cold "Maybe, Maybe not, why don't you ask your blue-eyed sergeant!" Kel stormed off at that wondering what had happened to Neal.

Well...I was bored and had the story written out so I wrote the first chapter. But I need to know what to do so I can figure what to do because I have writers block. After a few chaps.

Dom decides to kill himself for Neal (I can't believe I just thought...wrote that!!!) Neal decides to block everything off and commits suicide.(cant believe I wrote that either!) Kel finds out and decides they should take it to the practice courts. Other...tell me what

Bye!!!
