There are people in this world that ended up with less than what they deserve. You may be fortunate enough to meet them and learn their flaws. Here are a few things to remember if you're a best friend to a broken soul.

1. If she texts you needing to talk, talk to her.

Even if it's the 15th night in a row, don't brush her off because you are tired. You will wake up to one of the worst texts possible. When you see her, your heart will slow to its normal pace, and you will cry tears of happiness that she is still alive.

2. When she is mad, do not leave her alone.

Stay by her side, apologize for everything you have ever done, and beg for her forgiveness. I promise, you won't regret staying with her, but you will regret leaving her alone.

3. Comfort her when she is crying.

When she comes crying to you about the girl that broke her heart, hold her close, let her cry, and hold your anger back. Do not act on it. Stay by her side, and let it go.

4. When you have doubts, reevaluate.

When you doubt your friendship, think about everything she's ever done for you. Remember how she stood by you when no one else did, and the times she made you laugh through your tears. Remember how she called someone out because she needed to stand up for you.

5. When she calls, pick up the phone.

She may call at three in the morning, or two in the afternoon, but whenever her name appears on your phone, pick it up. Don't ignore her call. She may be in a bad situation or maybe she miss your voice. Just pick up the phone.

6. When she falls for her past love again, don't say anything.

When her eyes light up with more happiness than you've ever seen in her before, and says it's because she is talking to her past love, leave it be. Don't destroy the little shred of happiness she has. Be prepared to pick her up when she falls.

7. When she thinks about the future, distract her.

She will cry that you're going to different colleges. Change the subject. Tell her it won't change your friendship, but did she see the dog that just passed? Don't let her dwell on the fact that you'll be separated.

8. When she wants to hang out, do it.

Don't brush her off to be with someone else. You'll regret this later. You will realize how much you miss hanging out with her, when you're hours away, and no longer have the chance to.

9. When she starts to drown her sorrows, be with her.

No matter what she chooses to drown her past in, stay with her. Don't let her visit the past. If she does, bring her back to this moment, with you, and give her something to smile about.

10. If she gets scared when sleeping, wake her.

If her brow starts to furrow, wake her up. Don't let her relive the moment that haunts her every move. When she cries and begs for one night of peaceful sleep, hold her close and let her fall asleep in your arms.

11. When she wakes up crying, listen.

If she wakes you up with tears on her cheeks, ask what happened. If she tells you she screamed herself awake again, let her know you'll listen. It's up to her to tell you.

12. When she says she's okay, do not believe her.

She will lie. She will say she's fine, and happy, but she won't be. When she insists that she is getting better, stay on edge. Before you realize it she'll be close to disappearing again.

13. She'll believe you don't understand her pain.

She will be convinced that you have no idea how it feels to live with her darkened mind. She is wrong. Tell her you do understand, and if you lost her, you'd lose your whole world.

14. Don't let her burn to the ground.

She will be torn down. She will burn so brightly that she will burn herself out. Restart the fire inside her. Remind her every day that she is hauntingly beautiful, and she'll never lose her shine.

15. Don't let her forget her worth.

She is a goddess. You must not let her forget that. She may not believe you, but keep saying it.
