Summary: Gabriella Swan was used to the silence. Being born deaf, you get used to it pretty quickly. When her sister moves in from Arizona and they both go to Forks High School, how will a mind-reading vampire change her entire world, and help her find herself in a new kind of silence? How will she help him see that being different isn't always bad? Together, these two souls, lost in silence of their own discover the sweet sound that comes with accepting themselves, and finding friendships, relationships, and each other.

A/N- Please Read Before Continuing: A few days ago, I received an ask on Tumblr about how I portray a deaf reader and their thoughts. I am very sorry I have gotten this wrong. I tried researching and stuff but decided to write it how I thought Gabby's brain would work. I don't mean to get it wrong since neither myself nor my editor are deaf. My editor and I know not everyone thinks in the same way, so based on what we could find in research as well as from experience with my editor's little brother, we went the route we did in portraying Gabby being deaf. We do sincerely apologize if this has upset anyone. That's never been our intention and we greatly appreciate any feedback you, the fans and readers of this series, may have. If we do get rude feedback about this, I will be deleting the comments.
