Silently Falling (UNEDITED, ORIGINAL)
This is the UNEDITED, ORIGINAL version of Silently Falling. If you wish to find the edited version, please go to my profile and you will find it there :) The original was edited starting August 2020. - - - "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. - - - *different summary inside* COVER: EnsurelComplete

Since bumping into Layla Davis, the school's loner, freshman year, he's been intrigued by her. She's a mystery that he wants to solve. With the help of his cousin and friends, he hopes to become friends with her. But Layla doesn't want that. She wants to stay invisible. She wants nothing to do with him or anyone. But Kaleb and his friends just can't take no for an answer. As Kaleb and his friends try to break down her walls and someone from her past reappears, will she let her wall fall or build them up higher and stronger? ***Amazing cover made by @faithfulness254*** Like I say with all my stories... I'm not great at writing a summary for them. Please give the story a try, though. You might just like it. I will also try writing a better summary once I write more of the story. My stories always seem to go differently than I originally planned. 😊 #3 in YoungAdults 12/01/2022Complete

"Being mute isn't a disability. It just means that God loves you so much that He took away your voice so that you don't hurt others verbally. You see, He doesn't want you to do what others are doing to you." ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ When Sierra Bloom suffers a tragedy that costs her both her family and her voice, she shuts down every bit of emotion and passion within her and brings out a new and cold her that doesn't like being around people and things that are easy to get attached to. Enter David Hale. Cheerful, bright, friendly -a shocking contrast to her cold, closed off personality. Not only does David do things she dislikes, he also does not know when to give up on her. What is Sierra supposed to do when he keeps bringing out the old her and makes her forget the tragedy she caused? The answer is obvious; shut him out and run away. That's the solution.... right? ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ This book was written in 2013, back when I was still pretty much a kid. It hasn't been edited and there are many issues I find with it.

Would Lucas see behind her built up walls or would their friendship never be the same? "So you're in love with your best friend" My face dropped. My heart was hammering against my chest and this was the last thing I thought I'd hear from someone. "No I'm not" I blinked warily, denying it. "Oh come on Stella! It's really obvious" He was mad at me and I really felt like crying. He was the one before the last person I wanted to find this out. And the last person was Lucas.Complete
Little Miss Nosy
Ashton's glare flicks between the beer bottle and the commotion outside before settling on me. He takes a slow step forward, and I unconsciously take two back until I'm flat against the wall behind me. His body is flush against mine. Our lips centimeters apart as his knuckles drag across my cheek. It takes an incredible amount of strength to resist the urge to lean against them. "You know, you have this really annoying habit. This habit of sticking that cute little nose of yours..." He flicks my nose and I smack his hand away, meeting his glare with my own. "...into shit that has nothing to do with you." All this time I've forgotten who I'm dealing with. I met Ashton as the composed new kid. A random person with a random story completely separate of mine. But as he inches forward, angry blue eyes illuminated by the fireworks outside, I'm reminded of just how dangerous Ashton Brooks really is. And just how much both of us have to lose. "And you know what they say," he whispers, tilting my chin up. "Curiosity killed the cat." *** Where two broken souls meet to repair the damage inflicted by their intertwined pasts.Complete
