Hello there again and welcome to my blog. For our blog post #5, we have to write about an emotional moment I have shared with someone in my life. We have to use these stories My Name is Margaret (Maya Angelou) and Hills Like White Elephants that connect the theme to our narrative scene. Hopefully, you enjoy it. It was a summer night and I was in a year-long relationship at the time I recently just got a job in a cleaning business cleaning up at a fast food place for them at the end of the night with my mother. Truly the only reason I accepted the job was to buy a promise ring for my girlfriend at the time. As I got inside the fast food place you could smell the burning oil from the french fries they have been deep frying. But the kitchen station was all clean for example the grills where they cook the meat of patties were nice and clean that I could see myself. As my mother was with me she said to me “A comenzar le” (“Let’s get started”) and all I did was nod and smiled and started cleaning. As soon as we were finishing cleaning the place I saw a car park close to the exit and as I look more closely I saw my father inside the car waiting for us to finish to take us home. When we were all done my mother and I headed out of the fast-food place and got in straight in the car. I said hello to my father and we drove off to the house and then suddenly I get a text message it was my girlfriend. She said, “Can we talk?” I replied saying “Sure let me get home and we can talk.” She replied saying “No, I need to speak to you right now” At this moment I was nervous because in my past relationships it was never good news when they would tell me they wanted to break up so I braced for the worst. I replied saying “Okay what is it?” As she was replying I was really nervous not knowing what she wanted to speak about then she said: “I think it’s not working out between us and I think we should break up.” At this point, I tried not to make any faces or expressions since I was with my mother and father but inside I felt broken not wanting to just be alone. My window was down from the car and I felt the wind hit my face enjoying the cold summer air trying to think about something else besides the message that drive from the fast food place to my house is usually about 10 mins but it really did feel like an eternity. I didn’t know what to say and not too long ago I was thinking of getting her a promise ring as soon as I saved enough money. To me, if I gave her that ring I would have thought that we would be together for a very long time. Finally, we get to the house and I get out of the car and open my front door. I say “Goodnight” to my parents with a smile in my face but inside I just break down and cry. I finally get ready for bed and then as I lay on my bed I pick my phone up and start typing. I replied with “Okay.” I lock my phone and just fall asleep.

I liked how you handled the situation with a one word "okay" response to her. You could have always given her the "K" response. That always does the trick to piss women off LOL. What I really have to say is I felt the emotion behind your writing.
