They woke up the next day and the girl stocked up on food from the complimentary breakfast bar. By this time she was really good at taking anything they could get for free since they never knew when they would have money or eat again.
Jake came over later and paid for them to have the room another night and took them to eat across the street at Golden Corral. The guest was in heaven and it was nice to have some company besides the guest.
Jake had to leave the next day but he gave the guest money to get them by for the next couple of days and headed out.
During the day the guest was spending his time over at the Pilot trying to get them a ride out of there. He was back to getting to Florida. The girl was starting to get desperate. As much of the time as she could she spent time in the front office in front of the computer emailing everyone she could think of. She just wanted to go home at this point.
One of the times the guest was at the Pilot the girl did something she never thought she would do. She called her best friend from Utah, Charlie. He had told her that if she ever wanted to come home to call him and he would get a truck driver friend of his to come get her. She was just tired of being stuck and didn’t want to sit in another truck stop and pray for someone to pick them up. Charlie told her he would get a message to his friend and let her know as soon as he could what was going on.
She also texted 2 of her good spiritual friends in Utah. She knew they were very perceptive and that they would be honest with her. They didn’t know what had been going on but she knew they would tell her what they thought. She gave them a brief run-down of what had happened. Both of them told her they thought she had leaned the lessons she needed to learn and that it was time to come home. She put even more energy to finding a way home.
The last day they were there the girl got an email from a really old friend of hers. They had known one another since junior high school. He told her he would send her the money to come home. This was enough money for her to get home but not for the guest. She felt bad trying to leave him so she called Frank and begged him to send her a bus ticket which he told her he would do before. He did that and they got ready to go home. The guest was not thrilled with the situation but the girl was determined and he knew he either let her go or he went with her.
