Is my mind blowing relationship all a lie?

I am the sort of person who simply just hates to complain, though this has just about destroyed me. This relationship is literally crushing all that's left of my fragile self...

During the summer of 06', I was a graduated junior, moving onto my senior year in high school. I had met this boy online who just...blew me away. Normally, I never gave guys in general, a chance because I knew exactly what they wanted and personally, I am not that type of a girl. So normally, I walk away. But this guy (Garrett)...was perfect. He carried every personality trait that I had ever dreamed of for my soul mate.
To make this long story short, this boy had a best friend who called herself 'Jen'. She and I would constantly call each other, and just talk about my new boyfriend. Eventually, I started to get a strange feeling that maybe Garrett was really just Jen pretending to be him. I hated the idea, because I was so in love with this boy... ( You have to keep in mind that I have never loved anyone like this before).
Everyday it seemed like something new would happen to my boyfriend. He would tell me how he was sexually, verbally, and physically abused. He would tell me how his dad would watch scary torture movies, such as 'Saw', or 'Hostile'. If his dad thought a person could live through something that killed a character in the movie, he would try it out on Garrett. It was just one thing after another. Crying hard every night, silently, for a year and a half straight, was a constant routine.
This kid..has had ulcers, broken ribs, arms, legs, hands, cuts, burns, gashes, has been in a coma, has been beaten up by gangs, has had numerous surgery's... etc.

I need some...major advice. I'm only 18 years old, and I'm frightened to death...
I am so in love with this boy who I am now convinced is really 'Jen' (a pathological liar = one who believes in their own lies. (And yes, that is a SERIOUS MENTAL condition)). What if this girl comes and kills me??

I could go on and on.., but there is too much to say. I suppose I will just start out with this much.

Help me!

Dear lady6289,
I am assuming here that you've never met either of these people? So you've gotten yourself mixed up with a drama. First of all you need to check yourself here...you don't love this person since you've never met him. You may be enticed and lusting for him but not in love and you need to remove that from your vocabulary. Jen his best friend or himself??? Trust your gut feelings. I think at this time it would be wise to call the police and have them check up on this person...if there is nothing wrong then great you did what you had to. If they do find abuse you may have saved a life. There is nothing else you can do. You will never be romantically involved with this guy (or is it Jen?) so drop that from your mind...even if you could he is terribly messed up and will need years of therapy until he is able to have a relationship. So your duty is to call someone like the police to check up on the situation. Then stop the phone calls and emails etc. Walk away for your own sake and chalk it up to a lesson well learned.
Sue...good luck

You shouldnt worry to much,if this is an online thing,and you feel threatened,you really should stop,cause if youve never talked to him and always talk to her on the phone...kinda wierd but I think maybe you are pushing your thererios too much.From the information I have heard,it sounds a lot like they are seperate people,if you must find out,tell him if you can call him(if you havent tried),if he says no or some other option,then you must make decesions.
