The bravest thing I ever done

The bravest thing I ever done was help my friend when her boyfriend was beating on her.
It all started in 9th grade and I had met a girl name Aaliyah. She started to talk to me and become my friend. She was a white girl and she told me that she had a black boyfriend. She was really in love with this boy and she couldn't get enough of him.
One day she came to school and I saw a bruise on her arm. Well, I was furious and I wanted to know what had happened to her. She had told me that her boyfriend Michael had hit her but he said that he would never hit her again.
I found him and I asked why did he put his hands on her and he said that it was none of my business. I told him that I was going to tell someone then he threatened me and said that he was going to get me next if I told. I told my boyfriend and he said that he would handle it. I told him that I wanted to handle it myself and I did. I told some teachers and they told me that it was brave of me to step up and say something. Aaliyah was upset with me for a while but then she realized that I might have just saved her life....
