Hello there,
I am sorry to hear about you and your friend. It is concerning when someone you know and care about informs you that they are suicidal which can cause you to feel anxious and helpless.
I agree with Mallika in regards to encouraging your friend to see a professional as they may be able to help in regards to their suicidal thoughts. Ensure your friend that you will be there to listen to them as well then they need someone to talk to.
Please know that in order to help your friend, you need to make sure that you are looking after yourself as well. I cannot stress enough that it is of vital important that you can only do your best and you will not be responsible for anything that they do.
If you need anything, please feel free to inbox me.
