She probably wanted to solve it on her own before asking anyone else for help, this is some dumbassery i would do too then realize way too late that shuldve asked for help earlier
She doesn't have to ask for help if she wants to try on her own but she should tell her boyfriend what's going on and say she's going to handle it and if she needs help she'll let him know ╥﹏╥
Her bf probably immediately try tp help her whether she wants to or not idk. It def is for the best but she knows that and didnt want him to do that girlie pop thinking ahead in the wrong direction
...OK, I've been there.
There are some people that instead of fight or fly they freeze, it's my case.
But she had several occasions to tell the truth to the one that mattered. She needessly got herself caught in this situation.
