Nevaeh Stephen has mastered the art of silence. At 18, she's learned it's safer not to speak-especially when home is a place of fear rather than comfort. Selectively mute and emotionally guarded, Nevaeh floats through her senior year unnoticed, unheard, and untouched by the world around her.
Until Nathan Edwards.
Golden-hearted, persistent, and frustratingly kind, Nathan sees through her silence. Where others look away, he leans in. And no matter how hard Nevaeh tries to shut him out, something about him draws her in-slowly, terrifyingly, and undeniably.
But caring means vulnerability. And vulnerability means risk.
As Nathan tries to unravel the quiet mystery that is Nevaeh, her carefully controlled world begins to crack. Secrets surface. Trust is tested. And Nevaeh must make a choice: stay safe in silence... or speak, and finally be heard.

Mute
🎧 Title: Mute Genres: Teen Fiction · Mental Health · Friendship · Coming-of-Age Content Warnings: Selective Mutism, Mental Illness, Bullying, Emotional Abuse, Physical Abuse, etc 💬 Synopsis: Thirteen-year-old May Crudence hasn't spoken to anyone but her older brother in years. She's selectively mute, an emotional empath, and tired of being seen as fragile. School is survivable-until Camila and her crew decide it's time to break her silence. Zee talks enough for both of them. Fast-talking, jittery, and always smiling, Zee is May's closest friend... but she's also battling early-onset schizophrenia and hiding a lot behind that grin. And then there's Isaac Panell. Kind, observant, curious Isaac-who may or may not be May's friend. Because sometimes he's laughing with Camila. Sometimes he's apologizing with his eyes. And sometimes, he's just... gone. He's the gay wild card. Three teens. Three truths. One school where silence is dangerous, and secrets are louder than words. 🌙 Characters: May Crudence - 13 years old - Selectively mute - Emotional empath - Speaks only to Owen (her brother) and sometimes Zee - Quiet, sensitive, smart-and so much more than what people assume - Her silence isn't weakness. It's survival. Zandra "Zee" Alinos - 13 years old - Diagnosed with early-onset schizophrenia - Hyper, talkative, and always on the move - May's best (and maybe only) friend - Her voice fills every silence-partly because she's afraid of what she'll hear if it doesn't. Isaac Panell - 13 years old - Gay, emotionally complex - Camila's tagalong... but maybe not by choice - Wants to do the right thing. Doesn't always succeed. - May trusts him. But should she? ✨ Mute is a story about trauma, friendship, betrayal, and what it means to be heard-even when you can't speak. 📚 Updates weekly. 💛 Add to your Library if you've ever felt like the quiet one in a loud world.

(First of all, I wrote this is 2011 when I was only 13 and this story plot was the hype in Wattpad. I admit this story is extremely cringy at times but I still feel hurt seeing some placing this under "Trash" or something like that considering I had taken so much time and effort to complete this for those who did appreciate this.)Complete![Queen of Spades (House of Cards Series 1) [Student/Teacher Relationship]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/397177-256-k437609.jpg)
