"What have you done Athena?” he pulls me even closer if thats even possible And this time I do answer him. "I'm fine. I’m okay. I’m just numb.” I smile and close my eyes slowly and whisper out “ It feels good not to feel anything.”

“I’m not trying to hurt you, but I can’t be with you anymore. You’re in a bad place and I see no future for us. I’m leaving. Please don’t try to find me. I love you forever, Hazel.

Numb was good. And I loved that way. Observing my own life, like an outsider. And one day...I just wanted to feel."

I'm going to need another bottle if I'm dealing with this shit. "Do you not feel the bond then?" He asked turning to look at me. "No I feel numb. She's dead. I'm next." I muttered at the end.

And in was in that, we buried our fears and found our comfort. To be continued... 

I could barely feel my own limbs anymore; everything was numb, cold, distant. As I teetered on the edge of consciousness, the thought slipped from my lips in a faint, trembling whisper, barely louder than the rain.

The pain in my body dulled, fading into a strange kind of comfort, as if I were drifting away from everything I’d ever known.
