Not Bad

Leah was such a good name, but she had to suffer so much injustice and pain.

Leah slumped weakly against the wall. She sat there with her head raised against the wall. Her entire face was lifeless, and she had turned much paler. Her eyes were also very empty, as if she had lost all her future and dreams.

After a while, Leah's face twitched unnaturally. Then, she smiled. Her smile was so carefree, so pure, and so sad.

She treated her childishness and naivety as a joke. She laughed at herself for being too silly and stubborn. However, as she smiled, she cried again. She cried at herself for being too aggrieved. She cried at her miserable life and his betrayal.

More than once, she picked up the necklace around her neck and opened it to look at the photo with him. Every time she looked at it, she would cry. The more she cried, the sadder she became.
