Jude doesn't talk. He can't, even when he wants to. They don't want to hear what he has to say, and they only use their words to hurt him. So why even try anymore? Starting at a new school seems like the perfect opportunity to blend into the background, but it isn't far enough away to start over. Some people just won't let him forget about his past. The teachers don't understand. He can't tell them why. He can't say anything at all. Ross understands. Ross writes to him. Slowly, he pulls Jude out of his shell, waiting for him to say something. ----- Say Something is a story of overcoming fear with the help of friendship and love. As someone who has struggled with anxiety, I tried to do something a little different with my writing style this time by including a lot of thoughts and feelings rather than a ton of description and detail. I'd like to add that it mentions things like sex and violence but I don't plan on going into any graphic detail in this story. There is also occasional cursing. I hope you give it a chance and leave feedback for me as I post new chapters over time. Thank you so much for checking it out!

Being the son of the sheriff puts a huge target on Liam's back. Innocent, shy, Liam Rawley is a victim of harassment by some of the older boys in town. It wouldn't be a problem if the people harassing him didn't have any kind of criminal records. Liam's father decided to make one of his deputies lookout for Liam at all times. Being forced to spend every second with Deputy Brady Hutton had been kinda challenging for Liam, especially when he just wants to spend time with his new friends. Brady hates everyone but he seems to have a soft spot for Liam and does not hate the fact that he is getting paid to do nothing. The problem of having a bodyguard that spends every single second with you is that you might catch feelings for him. Deputy Hutton is not a line that should be crossed.
