"I should've been your protection." * * * It's starts with a wedding. Tyler's band is playing at the wedding of Maggie's sister. The blue haired boy catches Maggie's attention quicker than she can blink. Tyler had no intentions on letting Maggie slip through his fingers. Maggie, an aspiring photographer, just finished her first year of college and wants to spend her summer having a bit of fun rather than be stuck in her dad's law office. First on her list: finding an apartment so she can finally move out. Tyler, bassist of the band Reset Space, is nothing short of charismatic and has an exciting personality to match. Oh, and he's crushing on the girl in apartment 2F. Tyler and Maggie's first meeting was on top of the list of things that went better than expected. Their next meeting doesn't even make that list. It takes banging on Tyler's door at four in the morning for them to meet again and Maggie isn't happy. But Tyler only greets a livid Maggie with a smile and the promise to turn the music down. Who knew it was the only way to get her attention? * * * This is a spin-off of Best Kept Secret, but you DO NOT need to read that book before this one. This book is New Adult. There will be strong language and minor sexual content. Don't read if you're not comfortable. This is NOT a good girl/bad boy story. Enjoy!

Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.

I can solemnly swear, that I am up to no good. • • • • • • • • • • • I got released from jail approximately six months ago, and I'm currently a happy bunny in this lovely home. This home now being my 13th home. I should consider calling it a hotel since I only stay at these so-called 'homes' for a short period of time, before I'm kicked straight back to foster care. Luckily, I only have a few hours until I can finally leave to university. My current foster family have actually given me the money to get an apartment. I will obviously have roommates, but that won't be a problem because they'll probably hit the highway once they hear about my background. "Jordyn, I hope you've packed everything you need, we have to leave soon." Karen called from downstairs, causing me to roll my eyes. "I don't give two shits!" I yelled back, resting my arms under my head. Wow, no answ- "Don't swear please, Jordyn!" She yelled back, probably stressing about something pretty useless downstairs. And there it came. Karen's my foster mother. She is currently married to Simon the Engineer. They suite each other quite well, not that I'd know much about relationships. She has a 4 year old son, whom is the only person I've actually loved in my life. Now you're probably expecting a back story right? Well, I cannot provide you with it because I do not know where I've come from. The one thing I know about myself is I was put in foster care when I was merely 6 years old, I have blonde hair and strikingly blue eyes. I've been in foster care on and off for about eleven years now. Lucky me. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, becoming inevitably bored of simply staring at the bland white ceiling. I tapped my foot against the floor absentmindedly, drumming my long, pale fingers against my thigh. • • • • • • • • • And it is here, my story begins. ------ Highest rank: #55 in badpasts
