Chapter 8: Acting
"I'm giving up." Alma tells them as she walks into the kitchen for breakfast
"What!" Kurt yells "You can't give up on her like this!"
"She doesn't want me in her life."
"Yes she does she's just scared" Finn tells her "There's a lot going on in her life right now."
"Like what?"
"Her-her parents won't let her go to an acting collage. Or have anything to do with acting." Kurt tells her
"What? But acting's her life! She's always done acting! They can't take it away from her!"
"They want her to go to Harvard and become a doctor or a lawyer."
"She never wanted that! They can't force her! I'm not going to stand for this, I going to go talk them out of this crap!" Alma storms out the house and they hear her car pulling out.
"Hey Kurt, wasn't that one of our plans?" Finn asks
"Oh my god." Kurt sighs, face palming "That's the whole point of telling her about the acting thing"
"Why can't we just tell her to talk to them?" Finn asks
"That's not the point Finn. We're not supposed to tell her to do things. She's supposed to come up with them on her own, that's how we know she cares."
"We told her to sing the song though."
"No, we asked her if she wanted to give Santana a message and she asked us to sing her Back To December by Taylor Swift. We didn't tell her what song we were going to sing or even that we were going to sing. That's the difference. Alma cares about Santana. We just need to help Santana see it."
…
Alma bangs on the door of her oldest sons house, the moment he opens it she stars screaming at him in Spanish
"¿Cómo pudiste hacer esto a ella? Es todo lo que ella quería hacer con su vida! ¿Cómo se puede quitar eso de ella?" (How could you do this to her? That's all she wanted to do with your life! How can you take that away from her?) She yells storming in the door
"Calm down!" Carlos Lopez tells his mother
"Don't tell me to calm down! All Santana wants to do is act! Why are you trying to take that away from her?"
"That's rubbish. Acting isn't a career. It's a waste of time and the sooner my daughter gets away from it the better."
"Your daughter? Your daughter? You couldn't even be bothered to bring her up! You don't know her! Neither of you do!" She adds as Maria, her daughter in law walks into the room
"You hate her now!" Maria yells "What do you have to do with anything?"
"I don't hate her! I was confused and I'm not confused anymore, I love my granddaughter and I want her to follow her dream, her dream is not to be some fancy lawyer or doctor, her dream is to act! Why can't you see that?"
"This childish fantasy will go away soon enough. She'll get over it soon enough. Same with that girl Brittany. She's not smart enough for my daughter, she'll just drag her down."
"Brittany and Santana are in love Carlos! They love each other, Brittany's not stupid, she won't drag Santana down, she'll do anything to keep the woman she loves up. But up where Santana wants to be. Not where you two want her to be."
"Santana only wants to act because she wants to follow that girl to collage." Maria says "Like she'll ever graduate anyway. I'm not letting my daughter give up her dreams for her."
"Can't you see that that's what you're trying to make her do? All of Santana's life she's dreamed of acting, she's worked so hard at it. Besides, Brittany's going to Julliard and if you guys even bothered to listen to your daughter you'd know that she wants to go to NYADA."
"My daughter is not going to a performing arts collage! She's going to Harvard! She will become a doctor! That is her dream!" Carlos yells
"Being a doctor is Santana's dream? She faints at the sight of blood."
"She'll get over it."
"I don't know Carlos, maybe she's right. She does know our daughter better than we do." Maria tells him calmly
"No! My daughter will not waste her life acting!" Carlos screams "She wants to be a doctor!"
"No she doesn't!" Alma tells him
"Santana's going to NYADA." Maria tells her husband. "I'm not going to hold her back from her dream and if you want to you can damn well leave." Carlos walks out the house, slamming the door shut.
"Thank you Alma." Maria says, turning to her. Alma smiles and walks out the house.
...
Yes I know its short, sorry.
