Oh, am I wrong? Weren't they driving to HER parents home when she bolted .. At when I was first read (having never heard it), I thought she didn't want to go to HER house (parents, kids, familiy dynamic) and then (after her jailbreak) they go to HIS parents.
I'm inquiring. If they did change destinations than that may lend some weight to my original theory that she didn't want to go home. ?
My take is that the AV and Johnson were on the way to HER parent's home when a disagreement ensued. The AV got out of the car and started walking. After a few attempts, Johnson coaxed he back into the car and they drove to HIS parent's home to talk it out. After talking on the couch they went into his bedroom, (to have sex?). She dumps his drink on his cell phone, he gets ticked off and takes her to her parent's home telling her he can't drive her to the LAX party because she screwed up his cell phone.
Mike, I'll repeat: I don't know that you're wrong at all. Your conclusion may well be right. I just don't see enough to feel solid about it as a conclusion based on what we know about the incident at this point. Maybe when and if we ever do find out what set her off, it'll turn out that you were right and can say "I told you so" even though I'm not fully disagreeing with you. Before we ever heard about this incident I said she doesn't handle stress like a normal person and probably has an addictive, dependent personality, and I've also speculated that she may be an incest victim. Using a pet name such as "Precious" for her stage name when she's out of it suggests that to me, on top of the other aspects about her that made me suspect it before the "Precious" name came out. So, yeah, I think she has a screw loose, and the getting out the car may or may not have been a manifestation of it. For all we know, he may have slapped her or something. He obviously has left something out, but it could be like you say - she didn't want to be taken home.
In regard to post 686, I think I came across wrong.
I was asking politely, Am I wrong? I saw a more recent post from Maggief after being off-line for hours and I meant, Am I wrong about this? Not knowing what was in the couple hundred posts since I had logged off.
I was surprised that they ended up at HIS parents. I missed that in the early News and Observer article or they didn't say that.
