Hello, my name is Isabella Meganheimer. Im a 27-year-
old woman who lived in a house with a 23-year-oldwoman named Joan, who just graduated from college,
and a 25-year-old sister named Cathy. I also have a 24-
year-old brother named Mac, who lived in his own
house. But sometimes he hangs out with us at nights and
at times when were hanging out.
In an ordinary day, the sun is shining in my window. Iwas sleeping my bed with my blue blanket. I was wearing
my underwear when I was sleeping. I slowly wake up. Im
got off my bed and walked to my closet. I open the closet
and saw a wardrobe of what to wear for the day. I picked
up a pair of a blue button t-shirt and blue tight jeans. I
also picked my brown comfy shoes.As I put them on over my underwear, I suddenly
smell something coming out of the kitchen. Usually I
come out there first and cooks for me and my sisters. But
this time, since I smell something cooking out of the
kitchen, I wonder if someone has come to our house.
Maybe my big brother Mac, but I dont know.
I finished dressed, get out of my room, and head
downstairs to find out. I head to the kitchen and saw
Joan, in her pajamas, cooking breakfast. She then looked
at me.

Oh hello, she said.
I suddenly feel quite akward when she said that.
Surpirse, she nerviously asked as she shrug her
shoulders.
I dont know what Joan got intogetting up early
andcooking breakfast when Im usually do at this time
of the morning. I guess Joan is so excited that shes going
to work with me at the Doctors Community Hospital; its
a hospital near a few blocks away from house.
I work as a nurse in a nearby hospital. I got that jobjust months after I graduated college at the age of 22.
Since that, Joan was interesting in nursing. She wants to
become a doctor too. And she was also interesting in
working at the same hospital that I work.
Joan, I said, slowly walkinginto the kitchen. What
are you doing?Im cooking breakfast, she said.
I looked at the pans that were on the stove. I saw
that she was making two pleats of an amulet and two
slices of toasted bread already cooked by her. I turned
around to saw another round of two slices bread that
were already on the toaster. I looked back at the plates.
Which one is mine? I asked.
Here, she grab one and gave it to me.
Thank you, I said. I looked at her again. And which
is one for yours? I asked.

She comes back to the stove and put oil on the
empty frying pan. Mines coming up right now, she
said.
I slightly nodded at her work. Okay, I said. I then
headed over at the living table.
As sat down and started taking a bite of my
breakfast, my other sister, Cathy, shows up after heading
downstairs.
Good mor-, Cathy stopped walking and looked at
me eating breakfast. That scene made her a shock in theface as she raise her eyebrows and open her mouth
wide. Before she could ask me why arent I cooking
breakfast, Cathy suddenly turns around to see the reason
why: Her sister Joan is cooking for us. She reached
toward the kitchen and saw the other plate of an amulet
and toasted bread.Is that one mine or yours? Cathy asked Joan, whos
already cooking a third plate. This time is Joans.
Its yours, Joan said as she heads for the toaster.
Mines already cooking, she added.She push the
button, the bread goes down into the toaster.
Cathy takes the plate. Thank you, she said as she
exits out of the restaurant.
Youre welcome, Joan said.

Cathy was surprised that her little sister was cooking
breakfast instead of me. She headed down to the living
table when she join me.
Wow, she said to me. Is she really cooking
breakfast?
Yeah, I answered. I didnt know Joan is cooking
breakfast. Maybe she got up because todays her big day
at the hospital.
You mean her first day, she corrected me.
I know.Then Joans toasted bread pop up from the toaster.
She turned around and walked to take her toasted bread
out of the toaster and put them on a plate. She then
comes back to the stove where her amulet has already
been cooked. She put the amulet in her plate with her
toasted bread. She grab the plate and takes it to theliving table
My 24-year-old brother Mac works in his office at the
Silver Spring breue of the Washington Post. Hes already
working on a story, when his co-worker, an African-
American man named Devon E.K. who stopped to see
hows my brother doing.
Hello there, Devon said, entering the office.
Well hello there Devon, Mac said.

After they shake hands, Devon picks up a chair and
sits beside his desk in front of him.
So, he said. Hows the paperwork going?
My paperwork is doing fine, Mac is still typing a
story on his computer.
Its a story hes working on recently. Its about a
woman who didnt flie her paperwork because the
energy company gave her too much money too pay. She
asked the Washington Post to investigate. And the
Washington Post asked my brother Mac to do the reportas well as the interview.
Devon comes in into my brothers office to see how
things are doing before the final deadline.
Im just finishing on an investigating story, Mac
continued. The deadline for it is today.
Well then good enough, Devon said, looking at thewindow. The window looked slightly dirty, although it
may have been the sun from outside making the window
look dusty.
Mac finishing typed. There, he said.
Devon looked at him.
All done, Mac continued. He looked at Devon. Do
you contact the power company yet? he asked.
Yep I contacted, Devon said as he sits up and
change his position to look at him straight.
What did they say?

No comment.
Mac took a deep breath. He looked at the computer.
Well guess I have to put that in, he added as he typed
additional information to the article: The power
company has now comment. He lean back in his chair.
Devon slightly got up and take a peak at the article.
He looked at him, whos really disappointed. He sits back
down. Unhappy huh, He asked.
Mac looked at him. Yeah, he said as he sits up. I
wish the power company should get a better response.He looked at him and the papers back and forth. But as
usually, when companies like these when they were
involved in investigations dont love to comment or
return any calls.
Devon nodded as he agreed with him.
Then suddenly another co-worker takes a head inthe officer.
Hey..um..Mac, she said.
Yep.
Theres a phone call in line five.
Okay thank you.
The co-worker exits her head out of the office.
Devon immediately got up from his seat and headed
out for the door. Alright Devon, he said. See ya later,
He then exits out of the office.

Mac picks up the telephone and touch line five. He
put the phone on his right ear.
That phone call was me. I called him to see if hes
ready to eat lunch with me. He hangs out with me forlunch most of the time. But sometimes, whenever
theres an incoming story unfolding or a story to finish
near an early deadline, hes unavailable for the period.
Hello, Mac answered the phone.
Hey Mac are you busy? I asked.
Nope, he said as he looked at the window whileleaning back again. I just finished the story and Im
printing it out now. Youre asking to have lunch with
me?
Yes, I said. I just got off from the doctors office. I
was standing in the sidewalk behind the hospital with my
smartphone in my right ear. Are you ready to come? Iasked him.
He jumped out of his chair. Yeah, he said. He took
out a pen and writes a note on his notepad that was in
his desk.
Okay, I start heading out for my car which was
packed in the hospital entrance office. Ill be there as
soon as possible. Just stand in front of the building.
He puts back the pan in the pen cup and looked at
the side window. Okay Ill be there, he said.
Okay.

We hang up the phone. I open the car door and get
inside the vehicle. Me and my sister Joan drove that
vehicle when we work at the same hospital. Since that, I
thought she would be worry about me. I thought shewould have no vehicle. I mean she has her car, but she
decided to ride with me instead because it was her first
day. I talk to Joan in her office about the situation. Once
my sister understand the situation with my brother, she
didnt mind.She didnt mind that I would leave her
alone. At least she have her lunch so she can eat in thelunch area. Though, she might be worried that I still be
driving too long, because there might have a growing
number of patients and the boss in the hospital doesnt
have time for doctors to fool around.
Meanwhile, my brother Mac, who already have a
suit on, is ready to have his investigation story to hisboss, Mr. Alec Sands, who is the editor-in-chief of the
Washington Post. Mr. Sands wants my brothers story to
be published before the midnight deadline. Thats when
newspapers will began printing through their factories
and published through a series of newsstands. Mac and
Mr. Sands hoped that this story will get the attention of
the power company, who refused to respond.
Oh hey, Mr. Sands said as Mac comes in into his
office. You finish up the power company story.

Yes sir, Mac gives the paper that filled with words
to him.
Mr. Sands takes a look at the paper for a brief
second. He slight nodded as he looked back at him.
Alright Ill look at it, he said. Youre off at a lunch
break?
Yeah.
Alright Ill let you go.
Thanks, Mac exits out of the office, free to go.
Mr. Sands opens the door and peeks his head. HeyMac, he said.
Yeah, Mac turn around.
Dont stay too long.We have another story to fill.
Okay.
Mr. Sands loves Mac to go to lunch at his spare time,
especially with me and my sisters, but he doesnt wantmy brother to spend too much time on lunch, because of
the competition in the newspaper business. He already
had a story for him: its about a customer who rectently
brought a truck that was promoted as good as new, but
instead it was a vehicle that was messed up. The
customer was so angry that he wants a refund
immediately from the car dealer, but the car dealer
refused.
Mr. Sands wants my brother Mac to be in this
investigation immediately after lunch. That way Mac will

11/36
be in contact with the customer, since he was available
before his favorite show comes on at 4. The customer
doesnt have a VCR or a DVR recorder to record.
Minutes later, Mac was standing in front of thebuilding like I told him.
I was driving on Elligton Street, where he was at. I
almost made it. As I parked beside the entrance of the
building, my brother hopped in into my vehicle.
Hey Mac, I said.
Hey sis, he said as he closes the left door.Immediately after that, I drove off again. I explain to
him what my day has been so far, and he explain to me
about the investigation story that he just send to the
editor. I guess we have to talk into more of our personal
stuff when we head down the to Silver Spring Restaurant
down the corner.
As we enter the shopping center at Silver Spring, I
drove to the parking lot to where the Silver Spring
Restaurant is. We parked in an empty space in front of
the bushes. And as soon as that we get out of the viechle.
We have been into fast food restaurants before like
McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, among other things.
But this is the first time since my mothers birthday that
we have ever been into a causal restaurant. A place
where you can sit down in a table, if its available, looking

down at the menu, order what you want, and then wait
for your food to arrive. Its much different from a fast
food one where you had to order in line and get in no
time.We are now entering the Silver Spring Restuarnet. As
we enter, the entrance was kindadark.It has a black
bench on the left to sit on and a glass door on the right if
theres a table available. Yes the entrance has aglass
door to lighten it, but I think that he doesnt like the
darkness. Before I turned around to looked at him, wewalking toward the male waiter, whos writing some stuff
on his notpad in pen. He looked as he sees us walking.
Hello, the male waiter greets with a smile.
Welcome to the Silver Spring Restaruant. Do you have a
reservation here?
Yes we do, Mac said.We set a reservation here for two of us, I said as I
point fingers at my brother and myself. At 12:00pm.
Yes, its almost noon. We reached at this area about a
few minutes before our reservation. Hopefully, this lunch
will take us an hour, not more than an hour.
Let me see if you guys have a reservation, the male
waiter said as he checks on his computer while standing.
As he find it, he looked up at us. Yes, he said. Twelve
oclock.
Twelve o clock, I repeated as I made it clear.

Arlight, the male waiter takes two copies of the
restaurant menu for us. Come with me, he said in a
calm maner as we enter dinner area. He takes us a few
steps forward to the table that was at the end of thepathway. It was behind the windows aside and the back.
Here your table, he said as he put the two menus
on each side of the table. He bows his hand to us as he
let us sit on the table. Enjoy, he said.
Thanks, my brother Mac said.
Thanks, I said.Youre welcome, the male waiter walks off.
We take a look at the menu. Usually I order a meal
of roasted chicken with macaroni and photao. But this
time Im ordering something different. I might to check in
the burger section. I might have to order a roasted rib
sandwich meal. Im not sure of what hes ordering, butIm pretty sure hes ordering a meal of baked chicken
with mash photatos.
What are your ordering Isbella? my brother Mac
asked, without looking.
I know I have to choose that roasted rib sandwhich
meal or else Ill be wasting time and losing the patience
for my paientis as they will get pissed as I didnt show up
on time back at the doctors office. And I know that my
brother wont be wasting his time back at his office at

the newspaper bureau. He has a story to cover. I think he
already made an order.
My brother looked up Mac. Still looking? he asked
me.I looked up. Before I said anything, another male
waiter shows up. But as I looked at him, his
facesomehow lookedgeogrous.
Hello, the male waiter said as he takes out a pen
and notepad to write. He looked at both of us. Do you
guys order anything yet? he asked.Ah yes, Mac said as he put the menu down. I
want a meal of crispy chicken with vegetables and some
gravy.
Okay, the male waiter nodded as he writes the
order down. He then looked at me. And what did you
order?I didnt ask immediately. Yes I have an order. But his
gorgeous face made me shy to say it. He also has good-
looking hair.
You want me to take more time, the male waiter
asking me an offer.
No, I interrupt. I shook my head and took a deep
breath letting myself calm down and looked back at him
and act like normal. Im sorry, I added.

No thats okay, he said with a smile and a look
back at his notepad. He then looked back at me. Do you
made an order?
Yes I want to try the roasted rib sandwich meal.
With mash photates?
Yes.
The male writer writes my order down on his
notepad. Okay, he said as he looked back at my
brother. One crispy chicken meal with mash phatos and
gravy, he said.Yes, my brother Mac said.
Then the male waiter looked back at me. And one
roasted rib sandwhich with mash potatoes, he said to
me, making sure thats right.
Thats correct, I said with a smile.
Alright, the male waiter looks back at his notepad.Your food should be up in about an half-hour, okay.
The male waiter was about to walk off.
Hey, I shouted.
He turns around and walked backed. Yes do you
need anything else?
No I, I looked at him as I was trying to come up
with a statement. I want to know if hes already have a
girlfriend. I have been in relationships before, none of
them move into the marriage stage. My first ex-
boyfriend, named Sam Eric, was first met in college.

Were going really welluntil I found out by my best
friend Arianna that he has been cheating on me. As I
result I kicked him out like a foul. I engaged with another
relationship with Adam Lackie, since I was twenty-one.
Hes a nice guy. The reason why we broke-up because
the relationship isnt working. I have never had a real
boyfriend for years, and thismale waiter, I believe, is
the right one. The right one. Maybe, but I believe that
this guymay be the right one.
Need anything, the male waiter asked.I looked at him as if I was dreaming about
something. Um, I began to talk. Whats your name?
I asked.
Oh well, he got off guard when I askedthat
question. My name is Felix, he said to me.
Felix?Yeah.
Well nice to meet you.
He looked at the pathway and me back and forth as
he has a job to do: passing out our orders. Um I gotta
go, he said to me.
Okay,
Let me get you guys your orders okay, he said it
with a smile on his face to the both of us. He then walks
off.

Mac looked at me as if he thinks I found another
perfect match. My brother already has a girlfriend and he
doesnt want to ruin it for her. Hell try to make the best
relationship ever. I dont think hes a cheater like my
other ex-boyfriend and my brother doesnt want to be
that either.
I took a deep breath after Felix left. I know his good-
looking hair and dazing eyes capture me into another a
relationship. This time, a potentatially good relationship.
I think I might have that one this time.
After we ate, me and my brother Mac went back to our
jobs. Mac is already doing an interview with the
customer who had a feud with the car dealer. I went
back to work in the Doctors Community Hospital. Since
Joan doesnt have any patients right now,I went into mysister Joans office to explain what happened at the
restaurant. I told her everything about my new
boyfriend, Felix Sandres and she was very interested.
After Felix serves up the orders to me and Mac, I ask
him information about himself. Felix Sandres is a 29-year-
old man. He is single. He had girlfriends before, but he
never got serious about marriage. He lived in an
apartment alone with the stuff belong to the
management who gives him the rent. He graduated from
Western College with a Bachelors Degree in

management. He works at the Silver Spring Restaurant as
a server for five years. He got paid much money than any
other co-workers because he was working hard. He saw
me as another potential girlfriend. I ask him the contactinformation so that we can communicate with each
other. I even ask him for a date, to his surprise, and in
response, to my surprise, he said yes.
I walk down the hall in the Hospital hall with my
sister Joan. We were talking about Felix. She thinks Im
now in another relationship, which Im right now.So you have a date with Felix? Joan asked me.
Yes, I said.
When you gonna start dating with him?
On Saturday.
Saturday? she blocked me from walking.
Saturday is the usually day when we all hangout withplaces. Me, Joan, my sister Cathy, and sometimes my
brother Mac, hangout in my van. We get to watch
movies in a movie theater. My favorite one is the
comedy one.
Because I set a date with my new boyfriend on that
day, I might need to adjust the schedule. We have tickets
for the concert on Sunday, so that might be okay.
Joan was kinda shocked about the fact that Im
dating on a day that we usually hangout, although she
-
8/13/2019 Isabella Meganheimer (UNFINISHED)
19/36
might get the idea of hanging out with a date over the
weekend.
Are you crazy? she asked me.
No Im not crazy.She put her right at her hip with a questionable look
on her face.
Okay maybe Im, I said. But Joan Im not gonna
mess it up and he better not gonna mess it up either.
Felix is a sweatheart. And I should be too.
I walk off as she watched me in surprise. She thenmoved to
Its Saturday. The sun is shining. Its day that people can
enjoy their weekend, except for those who had to go to
work such as the employees at the grocery store, the
restaurant, shopping malls, among other things, exceptfor my new boyfriend Felix, who I schedule him today.
This morning, I woke in bed, still in the same pajamas
from this week. Im gonna put them in the washing
machine tonight after the date. I got up from the bed and
take off my pajamas, revealing my underwear. I then put
on some regular casual clothes and I looked at the glass
window thats been below my draw. The weather
outside is shining. It was the perfect day for a date. A
perfect day to be hanging out a day. But I looked down at
myself, as its also a day for my sisters to be hanging out
-

20/36
watching a movie. Its a romantic movie. Its called
Romance on a Car. Even my brother Mac was
interested in the movie. He obviously loves romantic
movies, not because he has a girlfriendwhos name is
Jennythat loves them. Its because of thefact that he
wasnt emotionally physicallike the ones in the
superhero movies, a genre thats been usually attracting
attention from a lot of boys. I come to believe already
that Mac is not one of them.
It sucks to have a date on a Saturday with my newboyfriend Felix the same day me and my siblings usually
hangout together (well actually, my brother Mac,
sometimes hangout with his girlfriend or his regular
friends). But I had to schedule my date on that day
because Felix was only available on Saturdays. He wasnt
available on the rest of the week because he goes towork on Sundays through Fridays. Maybe, if Felix had a
day off from the Silver Spring Restaurant where he work,
or if theres a holiday, than I can have a date with him on
a day other than Saturday. Maybe I can work this
situation sorta out with Felix when I come near him.
In the meantime, Im gonna talk about this situation too
with my sisters who might be downstairs already. I dont
know but I have to go downstairs to find out and stop
talking to myself.

And as I headed downstairs, I didnt smell anything. And
as I reached at the middle of the stairs, I also didnt hear
a thing at all. I continue to walk downstairs until I finally
came at the lower level. I looked around. Huh, I
wondered. Its8:00am. Joan and Cathy didnt get up like
the used to, Monday through Friday. They still sleeping.
Maybe they overslept, I guess.
So I headed back upstairs to wake up my sisters. I went
into Joans room first.
Hey, I shouted.Joans eyes suddenly pop up.
Time to wake up, I continued as I walked toward
her, whos in her bed sleeping.
Joan then yawned and get annoyed. It was obviously
to me that she didnt like to hear me shouting wake up. It
was obviously that she wants to be overslept on theweekend, although it was much after, or because of, her
work in the same hospital that I also work. I dont know
about my other sister, Cathy, who I know believed that
she wants to be overslept too. Cathy wants to continue
sleeping through the morning. Im guessing that shell
wake up at 9:30am, but that really sucks because Im up
and I want my sisters to get up and I know that my
brother Mac always up in the early, though unlike myself,
he doesnt want to wake his girlfriend Jenny unless he
needs to.

Cmon Joan wake up, I continued shouting at her,
whos still sleeping.
She turn her head away from me.
Cmon, I keep shouted. Wake up its eight
oclock.
She suddenly moans as she put her pillow on her
head.
Cmon, I keep shouted as bent over and touching
her to get her butt out of her bed.
But she didnt move. All she did so far was movingback and forth again. Her head was now away from me
again.
Cmon, I said.
Then she put her pillow on top of her head.
I stretched myself back. I sighed and flapped my
hands. I put my hands on my hips looking away from mysister, wondering myself whats up with her. She was up
in the morning, but early morning when she cooked
breakfast for the week, which is something I think it was
unusual. I looked back at her again. But before I started
to wake her up again, Joan finally woke up, but in a not-
a-very-happy-mode. She slowly turn her face at me,
knowing that I should not disturb her sleeping.
Why are you shouting? she asked me.
Because its eight oclock,I said.
She then looked at the clock.
-
8/13/2019 Isabella Meganheimer (UNFINISHED)
23/36
Its now eight o five, I continued.
She looked back at me again. Yes I know, she said.
Can we get some, I was going to say breakfast
but she interrupted me.
Listen, she take her feet off of her sheet and
turned around to face me. You have a date. She has a
serious look on her face. Right?
Yeah but I was trying to explain what was going
on but then she interrupting me again.
I know my sisters dont wanna hang out with mebecause of a date with my new boyfriend Felix (oh my
god, I say his name, like a thousand times now). Although
they loved me having a new boyfriend, they just unhappy
about that fact that me and him schedule on that day my
and my sisters hang out. I tried to tell them the situation,
but they completely ignored the fact that Felix had onlySaturdays available.
So go with your new boyfriend, Joan interrupt me.
You know your boyfriend is waiting for you.
Look its, I looked at my watch before I even
looked back at her. Its twelve oclock me and Felix hang
out together.
She continued to have a glaze stare at me.
We only have three hours to hangout together, I
continued.
Like what, she said.
-
8/13/2019 Isabella Meganheimer (UNFINISHED)
24/36
Like we can go around the mallshopping.
She continues to stare at me, indicating that she doesnt
wanna go with me in just under three house. She, as well
as Cathy and Mac, wants to hang out the whole day with
me as usuall. They dont want to hangout with me in just
so little time. They just obviously (except for Mac) want
toI dont knowkick me out, since I have a date?
Then even before I had enough time to wake my other
sister, Cathy was areadly awake as she walked into Joans
room.Um, she said.
We looked at her.
Whats going on?
Cathy, I walked toward as I beigin talking. Can we
have a talk?
Then Joan got off up her bed and walked toward us.Cathy, she began to talk.
I turn around and tried to calm Joan down. But like
Joan, Cathy was feeling the same way. She folded her
arms and looked at me.
It seems like Isabella wanna grab our butts to
hangout when she has a date on that day, Joan said to
Cathy.
Cathy nodded.
I sighed again.
-
8/13/2019 Isabella Meganheimer (UNFINISHED)
25/36
Sorry Isabella, Cathy said to me. You have a date,
she walked past me and stand beside Joan. So hangout
with your newest boyfriend, she continued as she
folded her arms again.
We would love to meet him, Joan added. But
because its on the same day that we going to a movie,
we would like to say
Good luck, Cathy finish her sentence.
Thank you Cathy, she looked at her.
Youre welcome.I sighed one more time. Fine, I said with a
disappointing look on my face. You guys go ahead
without me. Then I looked at them. Can you guys still
make breakfast?
No, Joan said as she shake her head. You are.
I got a suprising look when she said that.Okay, Joan said it like shes serious.
I sighedagain. Alright Ill look some breakfast, I
said.
Well I tried. It seems that my sisters dont wanna let me
talk, but I guess Ill talk to my brother Mac, whos in his
house, later after I finish eating breakfast.
Less than an hour later, I walked out and got into my
fancy red car. Sure I already had a van, but that was for
my sister Joan, who ride with me for most of the week
when we go to work. Cathy have also had a car. The color

of it was blue. We usually hang out on that one on
Saturdays. But not today, sort of. I then booted my red
car up and unpark from our house. Im driving to Macs
house. Im not sure if he and his girlfriend left their
house. I dont know, he havent called me since less than
a week ago. Probably Wednesday, since we last ate at a
fast food restaurant. Hes busy at the Washington Post
for the last two days, so I hangout with Joan at the
hospital at lunch.
Here I am, at Macs house. Mac and Jenny still hadtheircars out, indicating that the couple is still here. I parked
on the right side of the road beside the yard. I got off my
car and walked into the grass as Im reaching towards the
door. When I reached, I rang the doorbell. Then, my
brother Mac, whosinside the house, comes in and
opens the door. He wears his regular casual clothering ofa green t-shirt and short jeans with his brown sneakers
on.
Well hello sis, Mac said.
Hey Mac, I said as I entered his house. He let me
in.
After that we talk as we walk slowly.
Is there something you would like to talk about?
he asked. I mean you would like to talk about the dating
issue, he stopped and looked at me.

I took a deep breath. I know that my brother was a
calm man. A calm sibling than Joan and Cathy. Hes the
man who takes these situations to heart. Before I could
say anything, he told me something that I wasnt aware
of.
I talk to Felix, he said, to my surpise.
About what? I asked with a shock.
About the situation that youre in.
What does he say?
Mac took a deep breath. Well Felix had alreadyknow that you usually go out on Saturday with us, which
is today, he explain.
Yeah, I said.
And he understands that.
Right.
So he could make another plan to date with you sothat you can hangout with your sisters, unless you dont
want to.
I slowly nodded.
He roll his head from the ground to me. Well, he
said. Sure you dont want to be spoiled? I mean theres
a Wikipedia article on that movie.
I shook my head. No thanks, I said. I would rather
it on my spare time. Maybe Friday.
He nodded his head after I said that.
Im sorry about this.

No thats okay, he patted me on the back. It
happens, he shrug his sholders and hands, indicating
that Im not the only one. Its not just you. I hangout
with my girlfriend a lot. In fact we actually lived here.
I nodded again. Yeah I know that.
I mean, Mac trying to explain. You could talk to
your boyfriend.
I know.
I already work out a plan with my girlfriend. I can
take my girlfriend and hangout with you guys.I had a thought for a moment. I could take my boyfriend
with me. But this is a romantic releationship for me and
Felix. I dont want Felix to feel bad. Sure Felix had friends,
but he would rather wanna hangout with me instead.
To be very honest, I said to Mac. Im not interest
in taking my boyfriend out.
On a relationship day, I went into my boyfriend Felixs
apartment. His apartment looked like a maze. It is an
apartment complex with the apartment buildings in the
center and the large parking lot around it. Sure there
could be another building around here somewhere, but
Im too busy paying attention to my GPS system, which
-
8/13/2019 Isabella Meganheimer (UNFINISHED)

was installed into my car. The GPS system was installed
in behind the car air AC. I looked at the traffic and the
GPS system back and forth carefully when it comes to an
incoming different direction. When I found Felixs
apartment number, which was on the other side of the
center, the parking lot was almost full. The only parking
space available was all the back, beside the exit. So drive
all the way to the only space available and parked there. I
got off my car and then cross the road and into the grass
and into the sidewalk. As I reached into Felixsapartment, which is the first one at the far left of the
other side, I pull out my cell phone and started calling
him to find out where he is. Because he only give me his
apartment address, I dont know his apartment number. I
stopped in front of the building, waiting for a call.
Hello, Felix answered the phone.Yeah hi, I said.
Who is this?
Isabella Meganheimer. Remember? From the
restaurant?
He then remembered. Oh yes, he said with a
chuckle. I do. Then he suddenly fell to a shock look.
Wait youre here? he asked me.
Yes. Do you remember? Twevelve Oclock.
What? Is Felix kidding me? Wait he doesnt remember
me coming into his apartment? Does he remember the
-
8/13/2019 Isabella Meganheimer (UNFINISHED)
30/36
online conversation that we agreed on. So now all of a
sudden, he doesnt remember that we have a date right
now? Is he on something that is so busy that he had lost
his memory over this? Anyway, I dont want to push
myself into this. I dont want to turn this into a
nightmare. All I want is to have a good relationship with
Felix. If Felix is acting stupidormaybe hesnever
mind.
Oh yeah twelve oclock, Felix said.
Right, I said with a nod. Im standing in front ofthe building because you only gave me an apartment
address.
Oh yeah right, he said with an embarrassment.
Do you know what apartment number?
Its, he lost it for a minute. Then, rather than tell
her his apartment room number, he decided to walk outof his living room. You know what let me come
through, he said as he exits his apartment.
I suddenly see him at the first level to the apartment
on the right, to my surprise. Wait, he didnt tell me his
apartment number? He just decided to walk straight to
me? And he didwith his cell phone on his ear. When he
reached, it no longer makes sense to have a cell phone
conversation when were actually can talk to each in
person. As a result, we just hang up the phones. I looked
at him, still in confusion. How cant he tell me his

number? I guess he would rather take me into his
apartment, which is nice.
I smiled. Well hello Felix, I said.
Hello there Isabella, he said.
Glad that you didnt tell me your apartment
number. I still smiled.
He took a deep breath on himself. He then looked
back at me. Im, he said as he slowly shake his head.
I struggled. I remembered the date, I just didnt realize
that it is today.You didnt even realized that?
my boyfriend Felix shows me a diamond. I looked at him
in surprise.
Will you marry me? he asked.I looked at the diamond again. Its so sparkly. I
looked at him once again. His face was so kinda. And I
have a baby in a few weeks. So to us, it was definitely the
right time.
Yes, I said.
I grab the diamond and put down on the table and
hug him gently.
But before we even celebrate or even talk about the
wedding, I start to feel something that burst out of my

stomach. I looked down at myself. I saw a little bit of
water coming down the floor.
He looked at my stomach, he suddenly discover
whats going on with me. Oh my god, he said in horror.I looked at him. What, she said, also in horror.
Your water broke, he rush to grab his cell phone
out of his pants pocket. We gotta call 911 right now, he
shouted. And he did.
Everybody else in the restaurant turn around and
watch the situation unfolding. Some the waiters almostcarried their food until they got interrupted by this. Most
of the people grasp and looked at each other.
Felix already call 911 on his cell phone. Uh..hello,
he said, still in horror. Yes, theres a woman whose
water got broke. He answered what the emgerency
caller asked. In the restaurant. Right now. Okay.Hehang up and looked at me again. Dont worry, he said.
Everythings going to be okay.
Then I saw two waiters rushed in for help.
Is everything okay, one waiter asked.
Yeah, Felix said, looking at him.
Is she having a baby, the waiter asked, referring to
me.
Yeah she is, Felix said as he looked at him.
The other waiter call 911 on his cell phone, looking
away. Uh hello, he said. Yes theres someone whos

he said it urgently.
Felix looked at my stomach again and then me.
Trust me, he said. Everythings going to be fine the
ambulance will come in a few seconds, he said without
a pause.
I looked at him, nodding my head, before I looked at
my stomach again.
More than a minute later, the amblence have arrived. As
the doctors grab my whole body, I talked to my siblingson the phone, especially my 24-year-old brother Mac.
Hey Mac, I said.
Yeah Isbella whats up, he said.
Tell everyone, I sruggled to finish my sentence.
Mac, whos at the house, raise his eyebrows as he
knew somethings up. Your water broke, he shocklyguessed.
I nodded my head without a word said on the phone.
Just tell meyour water broke, my brother keep
saying.
Yes, I said to him. Just tell everyone.
He suddenly hang up and starting rushing upstairs.
Hey, he shouted. He then ran into the sisters
bedroom. He peeked his head in the room. Isbellas
water has been broke.
Cathy and Joan looked at each other, in horror.

They all ran downstairs and stopped at the doorway.
Wait, Joan said. Do you know which hospital shes
in?
Mac and Cathy shrug his shoulders and shaking theirheads, having no clue.
Well lets call her, Joan picked her cell phone out
of her pants pocket.
We cant, Mac shouted as he stop her from calling
out. Shes in the ambulance.
We gotta call her boyfriend, Cathy nodded.Mac started picked up his cell phone again. You
know what, he said as he pushing the buttons. I call
him, he looked at them as he put his phone on his right
ear.
At the driveway, my boyfriend Felix was sitting on a
bench on the ambulance, supporting me and myupcoming baby, especially after he gives me a proposal.
He looked at the ambulance taker, whos doing
everything she can to help me and my baby.
Dont worry, she said. We get you to the hospital
in any minute.
Okay, I said.
Finally, we arrived at the hospital in a quick fast drive.
The ambulance driver got off the car and open the back
door.
Alright lets pull it in, the driver said.
