She looked at him with such rawness in her beautiful eyes that seemed to reflect how broken she was inside.

He had stopped caring about life when he was barely 10. He always held the world on his shoulders, being put to work the moment he could walk.

She was sweet and kind to those that were her family. Her friends knew her snarky, tough, I-am-my-own-boss-attitude. Strangers thought she was quiet.

His heart ached when he seen her crying quietly to herself trying to take a deep breathe in. Then he got angry thinking and asking himself who in their right mind would hurt such a kind soul.

She couldn't comprehend how someone could break trust so easily. They never thought twice about it. "I guess that's how the world works." She thought bitterly.

If only things could go back to how they used to be.
