There is no direct path to citizenship. You must first become a lawful permanent resident. You can only seek lawful permanent residence through marriage if it was entered in good faith. It is not clear that was the case here since you indicate you married your best friend and are willing to stay and live with her. If you did not marry with the intent to build a life together, you should not seek immigration benefits. You can face allegations of marriage fraud, which can result in a permanent bar to immigration benefits. Your spouse could petition for you but she would need to be 18 in order to execute the affidavit of support. You can read more about family immigration at http://myattorneyusa.com/family-immigration.
