How did she steal someone else's happy ending? Did she model it after someone else or something?

I like the honest this poem/story is. I feel for the girl in this. The teasing I received was different, but still had the same affect.

You'll get through this, hun. One step at a time. ♥

Yes, the main girl in it I modeled after my friend. She criticizes me a lot, but I know it's just because she received a lot of criticism in the past too.

Regardless, she shouldn't lash out like that, especially to a friend. I've been on the receiving end of that kind of shit before and it only ends in emotional scars and heartache. You two need to work this kind of thing out. Your friend needs to work through her past so that it doesn't translate into her present and future. We all have our demons and it's our responsibility to defeat them so that our future is better. I'm trying my hardest to do just that in my life right now. It's difficult, REALLY difficult, but well worth it. A happier tomorrow is always worth the temporary struggle.
