I don’t think you can apply a grep style that acts across multiple paragraphs. The GREP style is really focused on patterns within a single paragraph.

However, you could use the GREP tab in the Find/Change dialog box to apply it. For example, you could search for GIRL\r.+\r\K. and apply a paragraph style to it, like this:

This searches for the first character of a paragraph that is 2 paragraphs down from the word “girl” and applies the paragraph style to the whole paragraph.
