Domestic Violence

One of my best friends is in need. She told me she needed to talk and my first thought was another fight with her boyfriend. I met her in the parking lot of our local store. Before she told me what was going on she made me promise first to listen to everything she said before I spoke and to not tell anyone. I agreed of course.

Well she took off her shirt and showed me her bruises. Her and her boyfriend got in a major fight. She wanted to let me know she did fight back. Deep down inside I knew this would happen. All her friends knew it would happen. But some how we go on with our daily lives like nothing is going on. She wants to stay with him!!

I am a little afraid that things will seem better and I will forget this and then he will hurt really bad or kill her. I want to shake her and make her wake up, but we all know that will not work. All I can do is listen and remind her people don't change.
