I have spent in USA for so many days . I already used to the life here . I have met with the president of USA and his wife and also their son and daughter . I have used to be followed by Sabrina wherever I go. I like her . She is sweet and caring . She is like my elder sister but I know that my feeling toward her is more than sister .
I and Christina are really good sisters right now but dad doesn't like her boyfriend Peter Russo because he divorced before and he was drug addicted .
"Sabrina ." I call her name so loud that my throat hurt.
"Yes Isabella ." She opens the door quickly.
"You used to call my name now ." I stretch my arms . "I am tired ."
I hug her and she doesn't push me away anymore . She brushes my hair gently.
"What do you need from me Isabella ." She smiles at me
"I want to go to book store . Do you know where is it?" I ask
"Yes , I can take you." Sabrina nods at me
I put on a pair of shoes and follow her out of the house . Grandma is back in China now because she doesn't use to live here . She can't speak English and she doesn't like the food here .
"You miss your grandma ?" Sabrina starts driving.
"Yeah but I understand that her home base is in China so I don't want to force her to stay here with me ." I sigh. "I like here because you are my friend and I have family here ."
Sabrina stops looking at me for a while . I sit next to her . I can see that her side face is even more handsome
"I like looking at you like this . You are quite handsome ."I stare at her
"I can feel that." Sabrina says .
She stops the van near a book store . She opens my door .
"You can stay outside while I am inside ." I say. "No one know who I am."
"Are you sure ? I am supposed to be with you everywhere you go." Sabrina frowns
"I will be responsible for myself ." I nod at her
She waits beside the door and I enter the store . The store is so huge . I read every book that I feel interesting but I don't buy any .
"Hello miss underwood ." A familiar voice appears around me . That is Peter Russo.
"Hello Mr Russo." I smile at him. "What do you need."
"Can I invite you for a coffee? I want to talk about your sister ." Peter scratches the back of his hand
I know that he loves Christina but because of my parent, Christina broke up with him.
"Sure , I know there is a star buck near here . We can go there ." I shrug.
I put down the book and walk Peter out of the book store . Sabrina stops Peter from coming near me
"Sabrina , I and Peter are friends . We are going for a coffee . Can you please drive us ?"i drag Sabrina's arm.
"Your father told you and Christina to stay away from him." Sabrina says coldly.
"Please Sabrina , I will not tell my dad ." I blink my eyes at him.
I know that Sabrina will say yes no matter what I asked her
"Sure , just this time ." Sabrina opens the door for us .
Peter and I sit at the back . Sabrina drives the van quietly.
"So now you broke up with my sister already!" I frown
"I don't want to talk about it here ." Peter shakes his head
When we get to the coffee store , Sabrina opens the door . She doesn't follow us in the store but she waits in front of the van. Peter buys me a cup of americano and himself a cappuccino.
"So what do you want to tell me ?" I sit down.
"I really love Christina Isabella but I am proving myself really hard ." Peter lowers his head
"I know but you know that you have a different background and history. My father just worried that it will affect my sister's future . You aren't prove enough." I say. "I have an idea."
He looks eager but I know that it is a hard way
"What is the idea?" He asks
"My uncle is trying to find a governor of Pennsylvania now to help him. You are the senate of Pennsylvania so I can talk to my uncle . If you are elected , my father may agree ." I fold my arms in front of my chest. "This is the best solution."
"That is a good one but very difficult." Peter frowns
I know that is difficult for people to trust a drug addict that he can provide a better future for a state .
"It is but worth trying." I stand up. "Thanks for your coffee . I will start working on it."
"Thanks Isabella ." Peter stretches his hand out. "For helping me ."
"You need to prove to me that you really want it . Otherwise , I will not help."
I walk out of the coffee store . Sabrina knows that I am tired . I rest on her arm. She stands there as a status
"Are you okay?" Sabrina looks at me
"I am fine . I want to go to my uncle's office now ." I breath heavily. "I agree to help Peter ."
"Why? That's not worth ." Sabrina argues
I know that Christina still likes Peter but both of them can't get what they want.
"I don't want my sister to cry." I lower my head ."please ."
"I will support all your decision but I don't want you to hurt yourself." She says
I get into the van . Sabrina starts turning around . She drives very slow because I don't feel comfortable when she is driving fast. It takes us 30minutes to get to where my uncle is working.
I get into the building.
"Hello miss underwood . You want to see your uncle?" Douglas is there
"Yes I have to talk to him." I say
"Come with me ." Douglas beckons to me
I follow him toward uncle's office . He opens the door and i enter
"Hello Isabella . Why are you here ?" Uncle asks .
"I am here to talk to you about the governor of Pennsylvania ." I say.
"You have an idea?" Uncle frowns . "Peter Russo."
I know that uncle already expecting me to say because I only know him from there .
"Yes I am ." I say. "He can be the best candidate ." I lift my chin.
"How !" Douglas argues . "He had a bad history."
"That is the point. If we can profile him as that he had a bad history but he is changing, then people can believe that he can change their life too. However he need to show the effort ." I say.
Uncle looks at me shockingly. I know that he underestimated my smartness
"That is a super good idea . However how to show the effort?" Uncle nods at me .
"He can go to the agency which help people to rid of the addiction and he can have some video that he at least loves his own kids ." I say. "This is the first step then you convince my father to have a speech for him."
"I will talk to your dad about it. You have a good idea ." Uncle stands up."we will work on it."
I know that I am smart but not this smart. I sigh with relief .
"You are helping him and Christina right!" Uncle says
"Christina is crying everyday. I don't want to see that. Peter is really working hard ." I shrug.
"I will work on that." Uncle says . "Thanks for telling me . You should go home now ."
I get up and walk away. I made the first step. We have to see how that go.
"How did your uncle said ?" Sabrina asks
"He agrees to work on it. Now we need to find out how to convince my dad ." I sigh. "He is the one who can help him."
"You need to rest first." Sabrina says
She drives me home . My parent are here and Christina .
"Christina !" I hug her . "I miss you."
"I miss you too." Christina kisses my cheek. "Are you okay?"
"I am fine . I went to bookstore just a moment ago." I say.
Sabrina stands beside the door . She looks at me . She knows that I am lying about what happened after .
"Oh okay, good." Christina says
I and Christina walk upstair . Sabrina is standing outside
"Where is Steve ?" I say.
"I heard that he is sick and now someone else is with your uncle ." Christina sits down on my bed ."I saw you with Peter ."
"You saw me sister? I was helping you and him." I argue . "Don't get me wrong."
Christina sighs . She hugs me . I know that she trusts me
"I trust you but it is too risky."Christina shakes her head . "Too difficult to convince dad ."
"Trust me , it is okay." I say. "I want you to be happy."
"I am so happy to have you as my sister ." Christina says . "You are the best."
I hug her . I never have a sister like this in china so I love her
"I know Christina . I am happy too but I want you to feel real happy with someone you love and can get marry with." I say.
"I know that but I don't know will I marry him or not. It is really depending on he behave ." Christina is crying. "He doesn't behave like what I want."
"He is trying sister . He told me that he is trying so bad." I nod at her . "Give him a chance."
I stretch myself . I am so tired . My heart hurt .
"I am so sleepy now . My head actually hurt." I complain. "Just trust me . I will make it happened ."
