I was born Corey James Edge. I was 7 inches, 11 ounces, and deaf. I've never heard my mother's voice except for in my own imagination. My father resents me, but I suspect he loves me. I have gone through, and still go through times in my life where I lose faith and every now and then I still call out to God and ask him: "Why me?!". I just remember my mother's words conveyed to me by the hand, "Follow your dreams, don't let the the condition hold you back." In my life, following  these words, I have accomplished much. I have written 2 books, composed countless pieces of music, and created artwork acclaimed by many. I fear I am getting ahead of myself. Let me start, from an earlier chapter in my life.All Rights Reserved

The Heart's Unspoken Love by RadioBeast101

I never knew I was the only one to see the world like this. To see it as a world where no one ever spoke a word. A world where thoughts ran free. A world where there was silents all around. A world where no one listened. I never realized it. I never knew other's couldn't do it. I thought everyone was like this and this is why I thought the world had no sound and that no one spoke to each other anymore. And when I realized that I was the only one that had been unable to make a sound and unable to listen. I felt UNSPOKEN. I had gone through so much. I was so messed up that five different personalities were created and not only that, but I also got the ability to read other's mind. I know that's a good thing, but that's not the same as being heard and all I wanted was to be heard. I am Shay Underwood. This is my notebook of my life. I'm not mentally disabled, I am not dumb, I am not stupid, and I am not an idiot, I am a human, I am a person, I am Ian Miller. Don't treat me as if I am not. Don't treat me as if I'm different. Please accept me as I am. Please understand me. The beginning of something big. Being unspoken is just another way of saying, yet to be heard. Shay is UNSPOKEN and Ian is yet to be heard.

My Wildest Dreams by fhsgctcusbf

Josh and Katie have been best friends since he first moved nextdoor midway through freshman year. They were attached to the hip and acted like they've known each other for years. Josh Parker was the all American boy who all the girls wanted, including Katie. As Katie and Josh's friendship blossomed she quickly formed a crush on Josh, but as the years progressed, her crush turned into love. Five years after leaving Miami brokenhearted after finding out about Josh's engagement to his childhood sweetheart. Katie unexpectedly reunites with her former best friend, and Josh quickly realizes that his feelings for her are not just platonic anymore. * As I'm walking out of work I get a call from my brother to pick my niece up from school. For the past 4 years that little girl has had me wrapped around her finger and I wouldn't have it any other way. Unfortunately I got stuck in traffic on the way over so I'm late for pick up. Once I get to Melanie's classroom I fill out the sign out sheet that's on the wall and make my way into the classroom. I faintly hear Melanie laughing so I know she's not upset from me being late. "Hey I'm so sorry. I got stuck in traff..." I said stopping mid sentence, stunned at the woman in front of me. Standing in front of me is someone I considered one of the most important people to me back in highschool. As soon as I looked into those Caribbean blue that I used to know so well, I knew it was her. It takes her a few seconds to realize who I am. She stands there stunned. We continue to stare at each other until she breaks the silence. "Josh?" She asks not believing it's actually me. "Hey Katie girl."

Finding Happiness (Book 1 comes before and ties in to You Series) by Regnado

The second I saw her my skin heated and heart skipped a beat. I knew I had to know who she was. I knew I just needed to be near her. After my horrible marriage I knew getting involved with anyone was the worst thing I could possibly do. The problem was the girl of my dreams was standing right in-front of me partially guarded. She knew my family and knew about my past which should scare me away, but it doesn't it only draws me closer to her. My brother is getting married, I'm the best man, she's the maid of honor. If I screw this up even a little bit everyone is going to have my ass. The second I saw him my mouth went dry. His sculpted arms in that t-shirt covered in ink, my body was telling me to run the other way, to not get involved with this gorgeous dangerous man with a military past. Those gorgeous blue eyes however pulled me in and saw right through every part of me. He's my best friends soon to be brother-in-law, and I have legal custody of a child that isn't mine. Nobody wants to be with a single mom these days, what makes him any different?

This Place (boyxboy) by kimmyann123

I'm just lying here in stillness and darkness wondering why. Why did this have to happen to my mom? We have nothing we can't even afford a house. Here I am a 14 year old boy that lives in a shelter home. Mom says one day we'll get out. But I've lost all hope. And I know my mom has no hope either. If she did I wouldn't have to hear her cry herself to sleep at night. I hate seeing her in so much pain. I wish, I could get a job. Maybe since I'm younger and a boy they'll hire me. Who am I kidding? My mom's in her 30's she's not old either. Sometimes the idiots that run this place kick my mom out for the night because she's making too much noise after hours. My mom was crying; is that too hard to understand? I hate this place. Well, tomorrow's our first day apart since summer started. They're forcing me to go to high school. I'm okay with school but I don't want to leave my mom alone in this world. Well, I guess there's a better chance of me getting a job if I'm in high school. You know there's one thing I remember my mom telling me when I was young. "Never frown; you never know who's falling in love with your smile." Words to live by. Let's hope they help me tomorrow.

The Silent Melody by KallieAndrews16

The world is loud. There are those who make no sound. Billions of people on the planet, some make no sound, some hear no sounds, and some don't see what's making the sound. Humans take their voice for granted, they don't realize what it's like not to be able to say what you're thinking. Humans don't realize what it's like not to be able to listen to the world. They don't realize what it's like not to be able to look at the stars and see the beauty in the sky. I can see, I can hear, but what I can't do is speak for myself. My own silence is deafening. *Pardon my word choice.* I've never been able to speak, as soon as I was able I was sent to learn ASL (American Sign Language). I was then sent to regular public school and I love it, the sounds of the students talking. Being able to be a regular person, well, as close to regular as I can be without talking. My name is Rosalyn, I've never breathed a word. Silence is easy when all you can give are ASL signs and not many people understand them. I'm just like everyone else. I have a celebrity crush. I have a favorite book (It's Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen). I have a favorite color (It's a silvery blue). I have a story to tell just like you. I get made fun of because I can't speak. People yell at me thinking that because I'm mute I'm also deaf. This is my silent melody, the song of my soul.

Beautifully Broken by prettiestoflies

"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied. By the end of junior year that changed, she's left broken after a series of events in her life, but she is determined to hide her pain from her friends and enjoy the summer. That is until she meets Tyler, who can see right through the hurt. He has his own secrets though and isn't ready to let anyone in. Together they will either fall apart or fall together.

Behind every mean girl...there's a tragedy by Winchesters_united

The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.

Power Shifter by josuesavage

Hello my name is Jack and I'm going to tell you something that will change the way you see others. Let me tell you about me first. I live alone by my self, yup just me and my house. My parents went missing by this unknown streak that the Force Of The Air, BIF, and Pops been trying to stop for some time. I go to a shelter to get my food and everything I need for survival. I chose to stay at my house by myself but it's rough. Its alright though, the shelter basically does everything for me. I can't live with family members because they're either gone or dead. I live on a planet called Jompado. It's very far and really good looking, but for crime wise I would think twice about living here. I can't really tell you about my features because I don't know if your one of them. Any ways I'm going to tell you how I went from being a cool kid to a dangerous weapon. And also how this mess all got started.
