Is silence a sound? To Niall Horan, that's the only sound he's heard his entire life. He's skilled in lip reading and knows how to get his words out to talk to someone, but that still doesn't take away the fact that this boy is completely deaf. Zayn Malik has been living the life between an outcast or a popular guy. Yet, he still hasn't found happiness in either of these things. He's a simple guy that's definitely unique in his accepting qualities. When the Malik family get new neighbors, will everything change for Zayn? Will he find his happiness? Will he be the one to give silence a different sound?

That he didn't belong. Not at home. Not at school. Not on this planet. So why is one night when his attempt to leave this world behind, change everything. Why is one boy making him feel something he has never felt before. Making him feel loved. And most importantly, breaking down the walls, he had built around his heart.
