You lost your voice, and with it, the ease of fitting in. In a cruel world where having a voice matters, gives something others can remember you by. Silence makes you an afterthought to those who aren't interested--pitied, judged, overlooked. But there's power in being unseen. No one suspects the quiet one. No one asks too many questions. And sometimes, the best secrets are kept by those who can't speak them aloud. But most secrets can stay buried forever...

[Wattpad's Summer Reading Checklist 2022 Pick] "'Hella heavy' is your response to seeing me with a literal fish tail?" "Sorry. Should ... should it be something else? Wait, does this mean that you can't eat sushi?" * * * * * When Alyssa shows up in Hulhazy Front a week after wiping the memory of her partner, she's terrified of ruining everything again. Her brother and dad are convinced she'll be okay as soon as she's able to "move on", which makes no sense to her, because they sound like the exact same thing. Alyssa doesn't care about moving on--she just cares about hiding the fact that she's a mermaid from this new small town, and especially her new coworker, Elliot. Elliot has spent the past year trying to figure out how to be out. It seems that every time she finds some kind of balance, something has to happen. Her parents say something homophobic before she's about to confess her "big secret," or her old friends from the swim team make some jab about all the things they're convinced Elliot did sophomore year. She's planning on her summer consisting of working at the public pool, hiding her sexuality, and third-wheeling it up with her best friends, Neema and Duncan. Until, of course, she meets Alyssa. *cover created using graphics from freepik*

"I HATE YOU, I HATE ALL OF YOU!" I screamed as I slammed the door shut. I snuggled down on my bed with my pillow, unaware of the hot tears that came rushing out of my eyes.

He replied with his husky voice then he left me, left me alone to rotten in hell. What did I get myself into? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just made a deal with someone even worse than the Devil, I made a deal with the Devils's angel.
