MONOLOGUE FOUR: YOLONDA FAIRYWINKLE
YOLONDA
I…wow…I don't really know what to say. Miguel cheated on me? Or did he? I'm don't know. The situation is incredibly confusing to me. Something tells me the full on truth hasn't been explained to me, and I think I'm going to confront Miguel about it later. Right now, I need some alone time to think, have a glass of wine or two while I think things over.
First off, assuming that Miguel did cheat, why would he want to be with someone like Nora? As a woman, she embarrasses me greatly. It's like she broke out of a mental hospital or something. Seeing the way she treats Linnie and just how she acts in public, I don't see anything for Miguel to fall in love with. Maybe he didn't know Nora's true colors before they had met, and she used her manipulation powers on him. I won't say my husband is gullible, but sometimes, I feel like he sees the good in the wrong people, and wants to help those that don't deserve it. I wonder if Nora has any brain cells in her head, or if she just refuses to listen to them because she's so drunk. I can't exactly judge her too bad because I myself am considered an alcoholic, but at least I don't take it out on my family!
You know, it's funny. In a strange way, I feel sorry for Nora. Something awful must have happened in her past and it's clear that she's using her behavior to release all the pain. It doesn't excuse what she did to Linnie as she put him in a state of panic and worry, but I wonder what would happen if Nora got sent to rehab, a therapist, or even prison (where she deserves to be). If she had gotten some sort of help, maybe she wouldn't be such an asshole to people. Maybe that's what I should've done instead; wait for a little while to try and get Nora help instead of hiding Linnie away, though I don't regret calling the police on her.
Man, thinking about all this makes me look back on my own drinking habits and yeesh..I should probably slow down with the wine. I love the fruity, grape taste, but if it turns me into half the person Nora is, I don't think it's worth it. Despite being so angry with Miguel right now, I do love him and I can't imagine throwing a glass at him (not that it would matter anyway. He could clock anyone if he wanted. I'm pretty sure he invented the term "guy power").
Ok moving on, as I've said before, I really have some suspicions about all this. Miguel just isn't the type of let people walk over him like Linnie is, so I'm not sure if he would allow her to take advantage of him. Something tells me that Nora just started causing drama at dinner because first off, she didn't want to be there (because god forbid she has a family to take care of), second she wanted to put someone else in the spotlight and make them feel shitty, or third she just really enjoys seeing the rest of us suffer. I had no idea what's wrong with her, but I really hope her time in prison gives her a chance to reflect on her shitty behavior. Finally, I really hope this gives Linnie some time to get a lawyer and file for divorce. He's needed one for sometime now, and I don't care what it takes. Miguel and I are gonna go through hell and make to convince Linnie to leave her.
