After saying all that, Rachel finally turned her head towards Lilia. The woman's eyes were red and swollen from crying too much.
Lilia tried her best not to spill her tears. For as long as they'd been friends, she had never seen Rachel like this. The Rachel she remembered was an extraordinary girl leading the school's volleyball team as captain. She was always smiling and looked cheerful, adding spirits on those around her.
But in just 5 years, that young girl had lost her light.
Rachel rose from her chair. She stretched out her skinny trembling hand and held Lilia's hand, "Help me." She whispered, "Lilia, I don't know who else I can trust but you. My dad didn't answer my calls and my boyfriend left me. I… I…" Rachel couldn't continue her sentence and started sobbing. She hated crying the most, but that was all she could do right now.
