Once Upon A Time (the untold story)

Once upon a time there was a beautiful young actress. She grew up with a normal family. She had a mother, a father, and an older sister. Ever since she was a little girl she knew exactly what she wanted to do. She wanted to be on stage. In reality she was shy around her friends. She was always the good listener and the good girl. She took actting classes at her local community theatre. The little theatre had been her home for several years where she had made several great friends.
When she was a little older she realized that boys weren't as completely icky as she once believed. She had been friends with the boy for years. He had always been kind and sweet to her. He was gentle and never said anything harsh or hurtful to her. However, he was very sick. He had a disease that took his breath away. He would cough and ache almost all of the time. So much so, that he was put into the hospital every couple months. She would visit him every day that he was there. She would bring movies, and candy, and games, trying to give him an escape from the little room he was confined to.
One day, as she was leaving, her cell phone started to buzz away in her pocket. She had a message from her beloved. She had never dreamed that he would think of her so lovingly. He asked if she wanted to be his, and she knew she did. She was extatic!
As soon as he was released, they began going to movies every weekend. They would hold hands and constantly be in contact. He would write her poems and songs that he would play on his magic guitar. He would write her notes about how much he loved her. Her whole world was revolving around him and she couldnt be happier. But soon she began to hear things. People would tell her that she could do better, and that they were cute together but slightly awkward. You see, she was slightly taller then he was, and very self-conscious about it. She knew that she loved him but it began to get to her. She always dreamed of being in a relationship with someone taller. Someone she could look up into their eye, stretch onto her tip toes, and share a kiss. But she could nver have that with this boy.
One night, she did something that she would forever regret. She logged onto her AIM account and saw that he was online. She knew she had to end things. She was no longer confident enough to stay in the relationship and be the girl he fell for. She proceeded to end things with him, even though it broke her heart. Tears streaked down her face faster and faster as she realized the reality of what she had done. She had hurt the one person she had always trusted and loved. It would never be the same.
The boy was hurt. He had had his heart ripped from his chest by the only girl he had ever loved, his first love. He couldnt understand why she had done it, and he vowed to get revenge. He knew all of her friends. For they were his friends too. He started dating each one of them for a few weeks or months but nothing really sticked. He still loved the girl, but something deep inside of him wanted to hurt her just like she had hurt him.
The boy began to talk to another one of the girl's friends. He confided in her about everything. She was easy to talk to and she seemed to genuinely care about him. They began to date. And he tried to forget about his love. The following Saturday, the girl found out that they were dating. She couldnt believe that he was dating another one of her friends. She also felt like this time was different. For the girl was exactly like her, but shorter.
Her heart stopped beating. Her tears burned her cheecks. Her love was falling for another...
