Chapter Fifteen: Fighting for Respect

BG and Adam's relationship begins to get strained. BG doesn't comply to Adam's standards about the use of his truck, and they disagree more each day about serious issues. BG takes it many times, and Adam asks him nicely not to. Eventually Adam get fed up and plays a few tricks on  him to get the point across: the truck is Adams, so BG needs Adam's permission to use it. BG still doesn't get it. When BG returns from one of his journeys, Adam threatens to fight him, and they have a brawl. BG beats Adam badly. Adam needs stitches but refuses to go to the hospital. BG and Adam don't talk for 3 days, but when they do, they apologize and become best friends. BG borrows Adam's car within the limits he sets and helps with different things around the house. The temperature is rising, and Adam's situation is only getting better.

The point Adam tries to prove in this chapter is that any one looking for success can not let others walk all over them. Successful people are confident and assertive but kind and genuine too. Adam shows that no one has to be as assertive as he is in this chapter, but his point is made.
