Love Over Life

From the day she met him. Leah knew he was not like the others.

A quiet and reserved person who gradually cracked more and more as she started to know him. A cold and emotionless guy on the outside who was carrying a load of guilt and pain no one his age should have to carry and yet despite everything he was going through...he still cared.

At first, she just saw him as that. Someone who needed help and she did.

However, time and time again Maxus always seemed to show up for her. When the loan sharks attacked his parents' stall, he was there to fend them off. When she herself started to crack under the financial pressure of her family, he was there to hold her together, to comfort her and make her feel like the world was still hopeful, that everyday after can be a better one.
