Chapter 15: She Sleeps, Forever
Lily Bridge was an excellent student and daughter. It was no question that Leila admired her sister a lot. Many times Leila would tuck her hair behind her ears, just like what Lily did. Many times Leila would straighten her naturally curly locks so that they drop like her sister’s. Her family would stop her but she’d throw a tantrum if she didn’t get her hair as straight as her sisters.
“You have wonderful curls Leilei.” Lily had told her with a frown on her face.
“I want to have hair like yours!” Leila huffed. Lily sighed, accepting defeat but pinched her little sister’s chubby cheeks.
Leila thought Lily to be perfect, beautiful and awe inspiring. It seemed that she knew everything and everyone. Whenever they would go out together, Lily would always bump into someone she knew. Leila would relish it when someone would tell her that she looked exactly like her sister.
It gave her a sense of accomplishment.
