Unmuted

I screamed. Not like it mattered. We were at my house. My brother was at a party, probably getting drunk as always, and my parents were eating dinner with his parents.

He clamped my mouth. I whimpered.

"You shouldn't have done that." He said, his voice dangerously low. I gulped.

"No one can hear you now. That doesn't mean they can't hear you later." His lips formed an evil grin. He went to the kitchen, dragging me by my hair. He threw me on the kitchen floor. I bit my lip so I wouldn't make a noise. My face turned pale when I saw what he pulled out of the kitchen.

"Now, you'll never talk again." He said, as he lunged towards me, my screams going unnoticed.

Even though Riley knows he'll bring trouble, she can't help but think about him and his cheesy pick up lines.

Now Riley's got another mission: keep her abuse hidden from people AND him.

But what happens if he puts the pieces together, along with mending her broken figure?

Well, there's only one way to find out.

"Well, this looks like the start of a great new friendship, Mute Muffin." He winked. I gaped, making his smirk grow wider, and turned to the assigned page in my textbook.
