Well now i've found it and the job is being offered to me, but the job i'm at now where I am miserable, the other person that worked here was just fired yesterday out of the blue, and now it's just me, but I was planning to leave way before she got fired. I want the new job sooooo bad, but feel guilty every time I think of leaving cuz' of what just happened. Mind you that I have been treated kinda unfair since I first started here. My boss even came to me and said don't leave, but she doesn't know I want to leave. What should I do?

The reason for the guilt is there is a PILE of crap around here to do and nobody her acts like they know how to do it.

Jasmine,
In these days, you need to do what is right for you. Of course your current boss is going to be disappointed or upset. They may even make you a counter-offer (do NOT accept it.) Move on.
You were already unhappy - why would this change ANY of the things that were making you unhappy? Go somewhere else and be happier - that is SO important!
Give them your two weeks and move on with your life. You need to take care of yourself first!
Best of luck!

Don't pass up the opportunity. Give them a 2 week notice, but you need to take the job while it's available. Why do you feel guilty. They fired the person, not you. You had nothing to do with it (I'm assuming). Especially if you've been treated unfairly, you should feel no guilt.
When you were told not to leave, they were just looking out for their own interests. You need to look out for yourself. Go, Go, Go...You will be happy you did.

Give them two weeks notice. Write a nice resignation letter giving notice & offer to train your replacement.
There's no reason to feel guilt if you're not leaving them in a lurch and giving notice and offering to train someone is helping to provide the help they need.
Accept the new job, give notice, work out the notice and then move on when the notice is up.

You need to do what is best for you. Of course your boss does not want you to leave, than she would have to hire and train two new people. Honestly, if your boss had to lay you off tomorrow she would not bat an eye. Employers do not show you any loyalty, therefore you owe nothing to them. Just think of it this way, what is more important your career or your bosses feelings?

Don't do what I did. Leaving a job I didn't enjoy because the kind of work. But it had allot of benefits. When I found another job that was more enjoyable but half the benefits.

Leave. You are nuts if you stay. You found a job you love then take it.
