i have a friend. her name is jamie. let me preface the jamie story by saying that the worst feeling i think i could ever have comes when my friends are hurt or upset, and i feel helpless and don't know what to do. jamie is an angel. she's beautiful and funny and sweet as can be. she's been dating this guy chris for about 3 years now, and i don't really know this kid, but i do know that i have a damn good intuition, and i have yet to get a good vibe from him. well last night a group of us went to 80s night and we were drinking and dancing and having a good time, chris had driven us all there, and then all of a sudden our friend bob, who's really cool, says that they want to leave right NOW. so we go to this booty club that i totally did not feel comfortable in, and chris fucking disappears. we finally get the hell out of dumb-drunk-fuck-on-the-dance-floor land, and then go to the top, an awesome place with good music and cheap beer and lots of cool people, and jamie's crying, and she tells me that chris told her she was making a fool out of herself dancing at 80s night (we were all dancing and having a good time) and he just fucking dips the hell out and leaves us with no ride, and i then find out that he's fucking hit her in the face a few times. this really pissed me off. i dated a guy for two and a half years, and he never hit me, but he was a fucking maniac and treated me like shit, and i really think that if i had stayed with him longer it definitely could have gotten to that point, and i put up with it for whatever reason, and i see her doing the same thing, not standing up for herself, and putting up with his shit, and letting herself be treated just horribly, and it's worse. he's actually physically abusive. and i don't know what to do...i keep telling her how wonderful of a person she is, and it's the fucking truth, and how i know what it's like to love someone and think they're going to change everytime they say they're sorry, and that she really needs to just stand up for herself. but this is a fucking awful situation, and it just makes me feel really bad.
on a more positive note...it was nice to hear your voice last night.
