I dated a girl from the other side of the US. (Wisconsin vs Arizona). We met for a couple weeks in high school when she was visiting a mutual friend, and hit it off.
We emailed constantly with occasional visits and when she was ready to move to my state (she was already planning to for other reasons) we finally got to date more regularly.
While that relationship eventually ended, I met my wife when we were a two hour drive apart.
Point being, a distance relationship has merit. Even if it's by phone or emails. Later on make the trip. Maybe she will be able to come see you until then.
Be honest with her. At least ask if she'd be willing to come visit and that you wanna keep seeing her, but you have trouble traveling right now.

Don't want to antagonize her so won't unless it's necessary but have had a lawyer on retainer since March, that will be requested immediately if necessary. She doesn't know where I live now.
Her dad started threatening to have me put on a psychiatric hold because I wanted to call an ambulance for her when she couldn't walk and I stopped accepting that she could be terrible to me while also having me do everything for her.

You're in high school. Trust me when I tell you, in your lifetime, will meet "the ONE" dozens of times (sometimes you'll meet "The ONE" multiple times in a week end... If she is "The ONE" serendipity will find you.

I'm more of a Red Ranger than Alpha 5.
Agree with the bulk of your sentiment except for the last bit, I don't look at her differently than I did when I met her but she's at least doubled her weight since then. She fractured her ankle by standing up.

Be an alpha and cut your losses. Physically distance yourself as much as possible. There's no redeeming quality here other than she's probably hot and you feel too hot for you. That's not enough and you can do better.

So you slept with her and then paid her in the hotel room?

That's a long time to wait for something.
It's all relative. I remember how long a school week lasted, and how summers felt like years.
Perception matters.

Ouch. Let me tell you, that I understand where you are coming from. The same damn thing happened to me 25 years ago, and it sucked back then, as I am sure it still sucks now.
​
Swiss girl studying in the US, her parents came to visit, and took her home early. The last time I saw her, I didn't even know it was going to be the last time we hung out. We had cut out of class, went to the mall, played at the arcade, taking pictures in the picture booth. She bought me a Bruce Lee T-Shirt I still have, despite it no longer fitting.
Make sure you get her contact information, stay in touch through social media (you're lucky you have thing, as Facebook, Instagram and all of that didn't exist when I went through it, but we kept in touch through letters)

My little addition to this interesting comment section: make sure you bring it up to administration if the conversation with your professor doesn't go well. You said you're scared if this situation hurts your grade, and you need to make sure you cover yourself if, for some reason, the talk doesn't go well. I think it'll be fine though, good luck

Why are redditors so condescending though, Edward?

Seriously this guy is planning the wedding and naming his kids and all he did was have a nice chat and a small lunch date. This kind of forecasting only leads to disappointment, especially when the history with them is so minimal.
