They couple arrived in Bakersfield with a little bit of money. This was the last Nascar race of the season. This is important to note because this was the reasoning the guest gave the girl for getting a motel room. The girl argued that the best choice would be to continue on to their destination or go home while they still had money. The guest told her that he was watching the final Nascar race of the season in comfort no matter what she said. Again, the girl gave in and they got a motel room.
The afternoon was spent watching the last Nascar race. Ironically the couple slept through the end of the race so after all the drama of getting a room for the night, the guest didn’t even see the end of the race. The evening was relaxing and they spent the last of their money to eat hamburgers and fries from a fast food place.
The next day morning the couple stocked up on donuts from the motel and went over to the Flying J which was right across the street. This was where the worst fight of the trip occurred. The girl was completely stressed and upset. All she wanted to do was go home. She told the guest that she wanted to go home. He told her to go if she wanted to but that he was not returning to Utah. The girl told him that he had been telling her all the way west that he was going to get her home and now that they were this close, he wouldn’t get her home.
The girl told the guest that they could work things out if they went home. She had a job waiting for her that she could go back to immediately and she was sure that they could stay with someone until they figured out what to do with living situations. The guest told her if she could find a place for them both to stay he would return to Utah. The girl called her parents to see if that was something they would be willing to do, have them stay in their home. Her mother told her that she could come home but the guest was unwelcome. This did not surprise the girl but she couldn’t figure out how to get home without him. Her mother did give her some possibly good news though. She had gotten a phone call from a friend of the girl’s and he had said to call her. Her mother said she could call him collect through their phone.
The girl called her friend, Ed. Ed told her he was willing to send her the money to get home. He hadn’t heard much of the story but wanted to be sure she was safe and home. Ed sent them money to return home to Utah.
The girl was so happy to have found a way home. She then argued with the guest again. She still wanted to get home and she told him that Ed only sent them money to return home. The guest argued that they still had nowhere to live if they returned and if she wanted to go home she could go home on her own. Later she knew this would have been the best decision but she was still afraid of being alone. She finally agreed to return to Visalia and continue to attempt to get things straightened out with Merrill Lynch.
