Manny turns to face his mother, his expression somber.Manny softly: I’ve never been seventeen, Mom.Lala: Manny-Manny: You know it. Dad knows it. I’ve never once felt young growing up in San My. All I’ve known since I turned fourteen is fucking and drinking and doing drugs-partying with Nicky until we blacked out. Wondering what crazy stunt I could pull that would bring me that next rush-that rush of almost dying. Being so fucking bored because we’ve already done it all-seen it all. You don’t get it.Lala winces: That doesn’t mean-Manny: The best thing you and Dad ever did was send me to that island. Because for once? I knew what it felt like to be seventeen. To goof off at county fairs, bonfires on the beach, stuff my face on hot dogs and soda with friends and talk about nothing and everything. To hang out with a girl who likes to ride her bike with me and watch me play video games. If what you want is for me to enjoy being young? Then Ava does that for me. Lala: Marriage is a privilege, Manny. It’s earned. It’s not a whim. Maybe I don’t understand your life- I didn’t grow up in luxury. But I do know what it felt like to be an old woman in a young body. I was forced to grow up fast too. But-marriage isn’t a magic wand that will set things right. If you felt this way about your life- that it was moving too fast- why couldn’t you talk to me or your Dad about it?Manny: How? You said it. You and Dad didn’t grow up like this. It makes me feel guilty to complain about my life when you and Dad and Uncle Nico have worked so hard to make it perfect for us.Lala: I see. *sighs* I’m sorry I hit you, Papito. I was angry. I still am. But- you and Ava can sleep in your bedroom. However, we are still flying in her aunt. We all need to discuss this together.Manny: And Nicky and Neely, what about-Lala: Tomorrow. We will talk about the twins tomorrow. With the whole family here. -- source link
