Dear Kimberly,

I know that this is going to be hard for you to hear. I know that you are not going to want to listen and believe anything that I tell you and I understand. Even though you have pushed all your friends away, icluding me, I want you to know that I am still here for you. I am really worried about you and that is why I am writing this letter to you.

I remember how you were always there for me throughout my relationship with Briston. Do you remembber all those times that you told me to leave him and that I deserved better? Wel I did not listen. I regret not listening. I was clearly blinded by love or what I thought was love. Look where that got me. I did not listen to waht you or anyone else told me and I ended up in the hospital. I do not want that to happen to you.

I know that you are thinking that James would never do that to you but I thought the same thing. Even after Briston started pushing me around I told myself and everyone else things would get better. But let's face it they didn't get better. Even though you do not really talk to me or any of your other friends I see simliar things in your relationship that you pointed out to me in mine. I am not going to sit back and not say anything to you anymore. If you do not want to be my friend because of what I am about to say then that's fine. You matter to me and I do not want to see you hurt like I was.

I know how you feel. You feel that you have to have a guy around to make you happy. After your mom was murdered and then Jordan left you after all those years you were hurt. But instead of looking to your friends for support you turned to the first guy that said hi to you. I mean think about it. You lost your mom in December and lost Jordan in like January. You started dating James shortly after all that. You moved in with him right away. You were the one with the job while he relied on you. He lied to you and did not tell you that he might have a kid. You used to tell me that I was more important than drugs and that I should not let Briston put them in front of me. You would tell me that I should be put first above his gang and drugs. Yet, you are sitting there letting James put you last. Kim you are still in high school. You should not have to support both of you and his drug and smoking habits.

I was in your spot not that long ago. You are afraid to lose him. Afraid that if you do lose him you will be on your own and not have anyone by your side. But do you really want someone by your side who really is not going to be there for you like your friends. He has caused you to changed and push all your friends away. Briston did that to me. I became a totally different person and pushed and shut out all my friends. Even though I did that you were always there no matter what. And I am going to be there for you no matter what. I hope that you will eventaully be able to see that you deserve better and that being with James is not best for you. These next few months are going to be hard for you becuase it is coming up on a year that your mom has been gone. Just like I was there when it happened I am going to be here still. I love you and I am just very concerned. Please just try to see what your friends see. I am here for you always if you need or want me. Don't let your relationship get like mine. You guys already fight a lot. Fighting will lead to worse stuff. Do not let him call you names and push you around. I let Briston do that to me. I gave him excuse after excuse standing up for him saying it was ok. But it wasn't. And if I would have stood up for myself you would not have had to take me to the hospital or help testify in court to what happened that day everything went bad.

I love you and want what is best for you. I want you to be safe. Please realize I am not writing this to try to hurt you but to try to help you.

Your friend always, Misti
