The Silence Between Us
After an accident in eighth grade, Louisa Kelley was blind. Every day was a struggle for her as she tried to adjust to life both at school and at home, but life got easier with practice. As soon as Louisa entered high school, things had changed for the worse. The students around her bullied her because she was different, harassing her, stealing her things, and talking about her behind her back, making an already difficult life so much harder. Now in her junior year of high school, Louisa is broken and without anyone to call a friend. She eventually decides to remove herself from the bullies that surround her daily and be home schooled. That is, until she met Alex. Alex Mirren was born deaf, but when he was six years old, he received a cochlea implant that allowed him to hear. Even after the ten years of speech therapy where he had to teach himself how to hear, Alex prefers to stay in the silence and only communicates with the world when necessary. Life seemed dull to him as he was stuck in between two worlds of silence and noise, not knowing his purpose or place in society. That is, until he saw a girl with a walking stick in the hallways. Louisa and Alex weren't made for each other. Although the very presence of each other gives them new hope and strength, things are difficult as Louisa thrives by using her hearing, while Alex shies away from sound and uses sight. Without being able to communicate easily, they must learn to overcome the barrier of the silence between them, which is easier said than done. But aren't the struggles worth it to be with that one person that means everything?Complete
Remain
*Sequel to Linger* His arms wrapped around my back, holding me close and I never wanted him to let go. He said he couldn't fix this mess but little did he know that just the touch of his lips on mine made all of my troublesome thoughts fade away. He kissed me so gently as if being so careful not to ruin this delicate moment between us. And it was in this moment I realized only he could make me feel this way. And no matter how hard I tried to stay away or put up my guard, I would always find myself drawn back to him. To the way he made me feel -- like it was all going to be okay. To the way he cared for me and held me like I meant everything to him. And I couldn't resist. He was my remedy and my weakness all at once. All Rights Reserved.
