Coming out of lurk mode to just throw something out there that I haven't seen discussed yet as a possibility.
Possible pregnancy?
$200 for money towards abortion? NO idea how much they cost - just throwing this out there as to why she may need money and didn't ask her friends or mom.
Whose baby?
Maybe I missed this being discussed as I skimmed the first few threads and have only read the last few in detail.
Back into lurkville I go until I think of anything else.
You guys are doing a great job with what little you have to go on!
