Oh God, here we go... I have this old friend, she's the greatest girl ever and I love her so much, but she sometimes makes the dumbest choices. She has a bad boyfriend, or so EVERYONE but her thinks. He honestly scares the crap out of me. He's in a bunch of my classes, and he always seems to want to run the show, have control. He gives off this intimidating vibe, so I guess that's why he's the king of our grade. That's enough to have me avoid him, but it gets worse. He drinks, and not just a little.

She, however, says that he acts much different around her. I don't know about him, but I can tell she likes him a lot, and I want her to be happy with someone, y'know? But I'm scared for her. It's not that hard to imagine him getting drunk one night and coming over and hurting her or something.

I don't know what to do, and I don't know what I can do anyways. I'm not her friend anymore, even though I'd die to be again, and no matter how many times she looks over at me and smiles, I never get up the courage to talk to her. It's never just us two alone, and I don't know if she'd care that much if I said something about him. I mean, she doesn't hate me or anything like that, but I'm not by any means in the position to lecture her about her love life.

I want so bad to just talk to her, one on one. I want to understand and be someone she can talk to for support and stuff. Is that too obviously gay or not? :]

Anyways, I was just hoping someone could put their two cents in. I'm lost here...
