Ellen and Leah: a friendship story

Ellen was not very nice to others

And so she didn't have many friends

Ellen crafted a story that people mistreated her for no reason

Ellen went to school and picked on Leah

"You're a loser," Ellen said to Leah

"You're desperate for attention," Ellen added

Leah looked at her in the eyes and said, "Why don't you realize how beautiful you are?"

Ellen was taken aback

Leah was so kind to her despite her comment

Ellen decided to follow Leah around

She wanted to see how Leah was so confident in herself

Leah allowed Ellen to follow her around

Soon they became friends

One day Leah experienced some struggles at home

Leah decided she wanted to find new friends and start over

Leah tried to distance herself from Ellen because Ellen didn't understand

Leah didn't want to tell Ellen what happened at home, she didn't want to tell anyone

Ellen got upset at Leah for not spending time with her

She developed anger against Leah

Ellen made up stories to other people

She said Leah was mean

She said Leah was bitter

She said Leah was full of herself

Leah cried to herself at night...life at home was hard, and now Ellen was making life worse

Leah met a boy at school

Leah dated the boy for a while

The boy ended up hurting Leah

Leah felt alone and sad

She wished someone would be kind to her the way she was kind to others all her life

Ellen decided to hang out with the boy

Ellen told the boy Leah was a loser

Ellen told the boy Leah called her ugly

Leah asked Ellen if maybe they could hang out during the breakup

Ellen said no, she didn't want to see Leah

Leah was crushed

Ellen made the boy think Leah was a bad girl all her life

Ellen told the boy he made the right decision

Deep down, Ellen knew she was wrong

But having the boy's attention was something Ellen wanted all her life

Deep down Ellen adored Leah

Ellen was afraid if she talked about Leah for who she really was

People would be amazed by Leah's kindness and would love her

And Ellen would have no one

So Ellen lied to the boy

Ellen said Leah was always a terrible person

But in truth, Ellen wished she could be like Leah

Ellen hurt Leah

Ellen was never a friend to Leah

Leah worked hard on herself

Leah cried a lot tears

Leah built something for herself all on her own

Ellen saw Leah was doing well

She wanted to have Leah around again

But Leah knew that Ellen didn't care for her

Leah didn't like the idea of it

The boy left Ellen too

Ellen called Leah

Leah went over to Ellen's house

Leah explained to Ellen that Ellen was hurting her

Leah explained she doesn't want to talk to Ellen

In her anger, Ellen decided to smear Leah's name

But this time no one listened

Ellen was all alone and she didn't even have Leah

The truth will catch up to you

Be kind <3

I'm Leah.
