"Being mute isn't a disability. It just means that God loves you so much that He took away your voice so that you don't hurt others verbally. You see, He doesn't want you to do what others are doing to you." ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ When Sierra Bloom suffers a tragedy that costs her both her family and her voice, she shuts down every bit of emotion and passion within her and brings out a new and cold her that doesn't like being around people and things that are easy to get attached to. Enter David Hale. Cheerful, bright, friendly -a shocking contrast to her cold, closed off personality. Not only does David do things she dislikes, he also does not know when to give up on her. What is Sierra supposed to do when he keeps bringing out the old her and makes her forget the tragedy she caused? The answer is obvious; shut him out and run away. That's the solution.... right? ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ This book was written in 2013, back when I was still pretty much a kid. It hasn't been edited and there are many issues I find with it.

There is a little action, but it's mostly about emotional growth and relationships.)

Aphonia // Tyler Joseph x Reader
Tyler Joseph is mute. That's what it had said all over the internet. Tyler Joseph is now mute. How could an accident strip this man's whole life away like this? He lost it all. Tyler had gotten into a car accident. They had said it was a miracle that he lived. He thought it was a curse. His voice box had gotten damaged in the accident, and he was left mute. Completely and utterly mute. He could no longer speak to his wife, he could no longer laugh, he could no longer sing to his fans. (Y/N) had been hired to teach him sign language and help him with the mental toll that his new muteness had brought. She wasn't aware of how much singing had meant to him, and she wasn't aware that her new job would ruin her own life. The two end up spending endless time together, and to no one's surprise, Tyler grows close to the girl. Next thing that everyone knows, him being mute isn't the only thing on the news. PLEASE READ: I do not hate Jenna, and in fact I completely adore her. I am completely aware Jenna and Tyler are married and in love, this is purely just for entertainment purposes. If you see something that makes Jenna seem abusive towards Tyler in this book, remember this is A WORK OF FICTION. Thank you, enjoy.Complete

"Talk to you about it?" I asked with a dark laugh. "it's not as easy as you make it sound," "Yes, Garret! Talking! You know what that is right? It's very easy!
