that none of this is her fault. Her mother is totally evil because she would
not let Alexa stay in the family home. She has some other family. but
they are all jerks because they won’t help her. Alexa’s friend Melanie is
the absolute best person in the world, but she can’t help because her boss
fired her for no reason. Alexa has a history of arrests for buying illegal
