I think my ( 26M) best friend's girlfriend (20F) is getting too attached to me?

So, she is a girl with a lot of personal issues. She ran away from home at 16, she slept around for money, she was forced by one of her partners into prostitution because otherwise he said he will dump her. Anyway, horrible abuse. Beatings, brutalising, humiliation, degradation. My friend is a nice guy but he still only uses her for sex even though he doesn't do all these other things. She knows this already but she insists to stick around.

The thing is I became her only friend, her only trusted person and she is telling me all these dramas and cries on my shoulder and want me to hug her and tell her beautiful things about her. I do that. My friend knows a big part of this but he doesn't mind. It was her birthday. She turned 20. ( we, me and my friend are 26) I bought her a teddy bear. She said it is the very first time she gets a present. It was rather symbolic, because she likes teddy bear a lot. Like her room is full of them, but she keeps them on the furniture. With the teddy bear she received from me, she sleeps, holding him tight. This is what I found out from her roomate. I am not sure what to do. She is in love with my friend, she is always telling me how much she loves him and how much she wants him to love her back and asks me for advice as what should she do to be better for him. This is getting a bit too much. But if I distance myself I will break her heart.
