Shit just got real. What the hell do I do?
My sister's boyfriend hit her. Her arm is bright fucking red. She made mention of his hands on her throat. And she says I'm not supposed to tell anyone. Usually, I'd be like, bitch please, and go tell someone, but this is my sister. I love her, but she's kind of a bitch. If I do something she told me not to do, it's almost like pissing off God. They were having a fight in the driveway at 3 am, and I heard skin on skin, but my dad said it sounded like her slapping him. They sped off in her car together, after her screaming at him to get out and him refusing. She came back an hour and a half later, walked into my room, woke me up, turned on the light, showed me her arm, then told me not to tell anyone
The fucked up part is she said that he said that she has two days to prove herself to him because she's been acting crazy lately. Read: she hasn't been taking his shit.
I don't know what to do. I've been up all night with this shit. I can't sleep. What if I don't tell anyone, and then he hurts her? What if I do tell someone, and she fucks my shit up? Any other person, I'd be like, oh hell, no, this is one secret I'm not keeping. The thing is: I love her to death, but she's a badass bitch. I wouldn't normally think she'd need taking care of. In fact, I think she might kick my ass if I tell anyone. Maybe she hit him first or something, I don't know. But he's a crazy fucker, and his father is known for a long and storied history of domestic violence.
She said not to tell anyone, that she doesn't want anyone to know, since he'll be gone soon anyway. To fucking jail on burglary charges because he's that fucking much of a piece of shit. Well, he's not fucking going away tomorrow, and that's all the time it would take for him to hurt her. I want to A) tell our guy best friend who will then fuck this dude's shit up, B) tell our brother who will threaten to fuck this dude's shit up, call the police, then proceed to fuck this dude's shit up if he comes around, or C)tell our dad, who will call the police, then threaten to fuck this dude's shit up if he comes around.
She's twenty years old. It's her life. Maybe I shouldn't pry. But she came into my room at 4:30 in the morning with a handprint on her arm and then told me not to tell anyone. What the fuck am I supposed to do?
