Everybody Knows Your Name (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
When I open the door, she’s lying on the couch, and I think I hear her say, “Jazz,” as though that’s who she’s talking to. It surprises me to think they’ve stayed in tight contact since my mom helped Jazz up from the red carpet, since I imagine Jazz’s walls don’t stay down for long. But maybe she wants a surrogate mom? Or maybe my mom is just saying she’s jazzed about something. My mom sits up like she’s going to get off the phone, but I put up my hand to mean Don’t. I make the sign with my hands for going to sleep. She says, “Absolutely, yes,” to whomever she’s talking to and blows me a kiss. If she notices that I’m sad, she pretends not to. I walk across the rose garden, along the pool, and into the mansion. It’s late and the house is quiet. I pass the downstairs powder room where I saw Dillon last night, sitting on the closed toilet with swollen eyes. We’d just come home from the elimination show.
