God, I just blew up on her and she just wants someone who will listen. I feel like an asshole.

I'll try. I'll try to be someone who listens...

I can't do this.

She tells me every time she talks to me that she doesn't know what she's doing wrong, and she doesn't know why he keeps yelling at her, and she just wants him to need her, and that she doesn't know what to do, and whenever I tell her to focus on herself, she says she can't because she likes dating and being in relationships, and she's worried that Rick knows too many people from our school and things'll go rotten if they break up, and I've already told her that that shouldn't matter, because she should focus on herself and getting away from this nasty situation, and I'm ready to tear her fucking head off because this hits too close to home for me. I thought I was over all the shit that happened with Jae, but if memories keep resurfacing themselves every time she talks to me, obviously not. I can't be the one she runs to all the time for this. It's just too personal for me. Granted, it isn't as extreme as her situation is -- I'm not trying to one up her or anything because God, I wouldn't want anyone in that kind of situation or anything close to it -- but it just hits all the places that hurt.
