Pam's TV-movie; you know how the thing's going to end. That's the kind of life I want, the life we were fucken promised. A fuzzy ole show with some flashes of panty and a happy ending. One of those shows where the kid's baseball coach takes him camping, and teaches him self-respect, you've seen that show, with electric piano notes tinkling in the background, soft as ovaries hitting oatmeal. When you hear that piano it means somebody's hugging, or a woman is crumpling her lips with overwhelming joy, down by a lake. Boy, the life I could have with the right music behind me. Instead I watch Liberty Drive screen through the window, with Galveston playing in back. We pass the place where Max Lechuga sucked his last breath. He said some words, but you couldn't hear them. Heat comes to my eye, so I spark up a distraction.
'Ma home?' I ask.
'Waiting on the fridge delivery,' says Pam.
'You're kidding.'
'Humor her, she's going through a lot. No harm in just waiting.'ugg on sale
'That'll be one long wait.'
Pam just sighs. 'You'll be sixteen in a few days. We won't let anything spoil your birthday.'
I cushion myself in this familiar ole cream; family, with all its flavors of smell. I've only been gone a week, but my ole routines seem like a past life. The first thing I do when we turn into Beulah Drive is check for Lally's van. I try to see past a knot of reporters in the road, but then the Seldome Motel's new minibus pulls up by the Lechugas' teddy farm. Strangers lean out, take pictures, bow their heads, then the van pulls away toward the mantis market. Lally's space under the willow is empty.
'Take these fries to your ma,' says Pam through a mouthful of drumstick.ugg boots
'Not coming in?'
'I have pinball right now.' Playing pinball is healthy, according to Pam.ugg boots
Reporters jostle me all the way to the front door. I slip inside, locking the door behind me, then just hang, soaking up the familiar whiff of ketchup and wood polish. All's quiet inside, except for the TV. I go to leave the fries on the breakfast bar, but just as I reach the kitchen, I hear a noise up the hallway. Like a sick dog. Then comes a voice.
'Wait - I'm sure I heard the door …'
It's Mom.
'God, unghh, ugh, Lalito, Lally - wait!'www.uggsnowbootsclearance.net
