“April, Monique is here.” Mrs. Hogan called down to April. After that she heard footsteps coming down the stairs. The phone was still ringing. April picked it up just as Monique entered her room.
“Hello?” She said after about four rings.
“I didn’t think anyone was going to answer.” A voice on the other end of the phone said. It was a voice of a male.
“Well umm I was busy. Who is this?”
“Oh I’m terribly sorry. This is Isaac.” April’s mouth hung open. Moniuqe went to speak, but April mouthed “Oh My Lord.”
“Isaac...hi!” April said. Monique’s face lit up. Nobody could believe that Isaac Hanson was calling her.
“I was calling because my family and I just heard on the news what you are doing for my brother.”
“On the news?” April was shocked. Was the story of Monique and her all over the country.
“Yes. When I heard your name something triggered inside of me. Your name sounded so familar and then I remembered the ATM machine.” Monique was trying to listen just to hear Isaac’s voice, but April kept on pushing her away. Monique just sat on April’s bed looking at the posters. She turned around and saw the Taylor wall. She stared at them tears fell from her eyes. No sound came out only tears. April’s conversation with Isaac was still going on. She didn’t care who was on the phone. Monique let out a small moan and fell onto April’s bed.
“Monique.” April cried out.
“Huh?” Zac said in a confused mannor. By that time in the conversation Isaac had put her on speaker phone so the whole Hanson family could thank her for the courage she had shown since the incident they had called it.
“Monique its okay. Don’t cry.” The Hanson family didn’t know what was going on.
“BUT HE IS GONE. EVERYTHING IS NOT OKAY.” Monique screamed.
“April is she okay?” Mr. Hanson asked her concerned.
“Yeah she is going to be okay. Everyone here is still overcome with emotions from umm from
“I know honey, but what you are doing is incredible. We never knew that our boys had such dedicated fans.” Mrs. Hanson tried to console her over the phone. It worked. April wipped away her tears.
“Thank you so much. You don’t understand how much that means to me and to Monique.”
“I heard my name.” Monique walked in.
“See she is back to normal.” April laughed.
“Why are you laughing?” Isaac asked her.
“Because I just called Monique normal.” April was dying. Everyone on the other end of the phone was craking up. Monique didn’t think it was funny and through a pillow at April.
“Hey I just said the truth Mo. You didn’t have to go and through something at me.” April held up her hands. “Well I guess I’d better let you go. Thank you for calling.”
“Ok April. It was very nice talking to you.” Mr. Hanson said. The whole Hanson family said good-bye and April hung up the phone.
“Oh man time does fly. You were on the phone for an hour. My mom is coming to pick me up.”
“Oh Monique there is a meeting on Saturday at the Tweeter Center.” April informed her.
“I can’t go. My grandmother is having some stupid dinner that I have to go to.” Monique said putting her shoes on. There was a beep of a car horn and Monique ran uipstairs and left. What a weird day April was having.
