Busy 17 year old wanting to grow up fast around dark people?
I smell a drug connection here
I find it interesting that in one of her journal entries that she doesn't like being at her dad's house (with his girlfriend and her son) and wants to be back home where she is "safe." Is there some history of problems with her family and she sought out people like Ben to help get away from that?
