Cory Alder is a quiet, lonely kid desperately vying to be accepted, but too afraid to act upon her desires. Her paralyzing fear of people, rejection, and failure hold her back, stopping her from properly experiencing life. And the voice... the voice constantly tortures her, taunting her, belittling her, making her feel worthless.
One day, she meets a stranger. A stranger who will change her life. Maddie Evergreen, the happy, curious child fascinated by Cory. As Cory continues to fight her fear and depression, Maddie extends a hand to pull her up and away from her demons. Does she have the courage to take it?
Loosely based around my life, different names and such and I do not suffer from schitzophrenia or depression.

Not the Only One
"I'm not perfect. If you know my life story it would change your mind," I admit, looking down. Yes, I hate my past and yes, I'm most definitely not perfect. I untangle myself from Dante and get off the bed, turning to look at them all. "I need to go back to my hotel room to change." The response is instantaneous. All men frown and begin to protest. "You're staying here, sweetheart-" "Don't do this, love-" "Babygirl, stay with us-" I'm sure they don't all love me that much. It's probably a short-term love, temporary. I'm certain in a few months time they won't love me or want me to stay with them. "I'd love to stay but-" I begin to say before they all interrupt me. "Then that's final-" "You can stay-" "Please stay-" "I don't have clothes here," I state the obvious.

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.
