Me. Secrets.

OKAY, SO I didn’t tell my dad that I’d started going around taking swings at guys who pissed me off. And I didn’t tell my dad that I had this fantasy about beating the crap out of Eddie. And I didn’t tell my dad that I kept wondering what it would be like to get drunk. And that I didn’t even know where that thought came from. And I didn’t tell my dad that there was this strange anger living inside me. And I didn’t tell my dad that I was sort of mad that he’d given me my mother’s letter and that maybe he should have waited. And I didn’t tell my dad that I was mad at my mother for having left me a letter in the first place. And I didn’t tell my dad that I felt guilty about the fact that I’d hated Sylvia and that I didn’t know what to do about that because she was dead.

And I didn’t tell my dad that maybe I wasn’t so sure about Marcos hanging around, because even though I thought my dad should have a boyfriend in theory, I just didn’t know about that Marcos guy. And when I asked him if he still loved him and he said yes, I wasn’t sure that I liked the answer.

And I didn’t tell my dad that I was having thoughts about my bio father. I was wondering if I looked like him, if I acted like him, and that I was starting to have thoughts that maybe I should at least meet him.

Sam had met her father.

Fito had met his father.

And then there was me.

How could I tell my dad all these things I hadn’t told him?
