Saving My Broken Mute

Kj YA&Teenfiction

Nasha has been abused by her father for her entire life. She has no mother, and her father always blamed her for her mother's death. After 13 years of straight abuse from her father, her aunt Pam finally convinces him to let her take Nasha off his hands. He agrees, and Nasha soon starts her new life.
Unfortunately, Nasha's abuse follows her. Due to all of the mental and pysical abuse that she had to endure, she became mute. Pam tries to get her to open up, and relax now that she's states away from her abuser. However, Nasha can't be fixed so easily.
After two years though, Nasha seems to break out of her shell more. She is still considered a mute at school, and bullied because of it. Even when her bullies push her, and take pictures of her scars, she refuses to talk. Nasha only speaks to her aunt, and it's not much.
Nasha becomes more comfortable in her new life. Her bullies lost most interest in her, although they bully her still on a daily basis. They moved on to only bumping her things out of her hands, or calling her names instead of beating her up. Nasha believes it's the best she's going to get out of her pathetic life.
At least, until she is assigned a group project with the most popular boy in school, Ryland.
Ryland is a playboy. Every girl wants him, and he's had every girl he's ever wanted. Ryland is one of Nasha's every day bullies, and she is not excited to be doing a group project with him. However, she refuses to do all of the work for him since this project is worth half their grade.
While trying to talk Nasha into doing the project for him, she speaks. Ryland is shocked as hell, and tries to tell some of his friends later about it. All of them think he's crazy. Nasha is a mute. She doesn't speak.
This spikes an interest in Ryland. Now he wants to her talk again. He wants to prove that Nasha can speak. That she's been faking it this whole time. Nasha might have been able to handle the girls bullying her, but she's not had Ryland do his worst.
While Ryland tries his best to bully her into submission, he ends up growing more feelings for her. Feelings he doesn't understand, or want. Feelings that are hard to control.
Will Ryland give in to his urges? Will Nasha let this playboy push her buttons? Will Ryland find out the truth, and save his broken mute?
