MY SIMPLE ANSWER IS NOT EASY.

Paul wrote to the Corinthians, "Bad company destroys good character"
There is little else to say about your situation.

Regarding your 2 friends, who are wrapped-up in wrong things, you may not be able to do more than praying for them and hoping for the best for them in life (and hope to have/be a positive influence on them as long as they be with you). If you are not a strong christian, then, your friends can lead you slowly to their way of living. If you continue to remain as a strong christian, then, either they will find you hard to be with and get away from you or they may like and respect you and turn from their wrong ways (seeing you as an example). Salvation of a human being (even of your 2 friends) is a miracle. None of us can predict what will happen at this stage. It is upto you to take the decision.

Regarding your best friend Krystal, you may think that you are the perfect guy for her, seeing her plight, but, she may not be having the same thoughts about you. Her keeping quiet regarding how she feels about you itself shows that either she is not interested in you or she has not yet made up her mind about you. She might only be considering you as a good friend to confide her sorrows. Here also, you may not be able to do much apart from praying for her, being a comforting friend and hoping for the best to happen in life for her. If her boyfriend is troubling her so much then why is she not deciding to quit the relationship. Does she love him so much that she cannot live without him? If her boyfriend is truly a Christian then why is he not able to discern her hurt? Is Krystal's boyfriend thinking of getting married to her eventually? These are some of the questions which arise. Maybe the 2 friends you are sticking with could be the reason why Krystal is hesitating to be yours. As a good christian yourself, you need to hope that all things get settled with Krystal and her boyfriend and they live in peace and happiness together in future.

You have done a good thing by asking for advice of Christians here. The Bible says, "Through many wise counsels the path is established".

You said that you rap. I hope you are using your musical talents for Christ alone (being a Christian). I said this because, the more and more you grow in Christ, you will surrender every area of your life for the glory of Lord Jesus Christ alone.

Finally, the more understanding you have of the Word of God, the more better you will know God's mind regarding your life situations.

These are my personal thoughts and opinions. Hope they help you in making your decisions.
