Canceling the Bar Mitzvah

if you saw that i posted this earlier, no you didn't ❤️
—————————————————————

Jade and Issie brought their blankets round them more, for comfort, as they knew what was coming.

[TRINA]
Jason, if you want a Bar Mitzvah
God knows, you can have a Bar Mitzvah
But I have to know
And I have to know now
Just what it is you want
I've addressed the invitations
Here's your chance to give me Hell
If you think it's bust
Then it's probably just as well

[JASON]
Can't we wait 'til Whizzer gets better?

"He's not getting better." Jade said through their tears, sniffling at the end. Issie snorted at them.

Can't we wait 'til he's out?
That's what bar mitzvahs should be all about!
Good friends close at hand—

Whizzer smiled; Jason was a good kid and Whizz loved him a lot.

Don't you understand?

Mendel sits down, tapping the space next to him; Jason sits down.

[MENDEL]
We can't be sure when he'll get better
When, or if, he'll ever get better

Cue the sniffs from Jade.

But the hall is booked
And the band's been retained
So, Jason, please
What we'll do is your decision
There's no right and there's no wrong
Just say yes or no
And we promise to go along

[JASON]
Finally, now, it's all my decision
Like it's my bar mitzvah

"Ooh~ Call them out!" Issie said, to cheer her best friend up. (thanks issie, not happening for that long tho 🤠) Jade chuckled.

Just like nothing happened
Hell, let's have a party
Just like nothing happened
Why don't you make this dumb decision yourselves, okay?
Why don't you make this dumb decision yourselves?

[MENDEL]
We'll have the bar mitzvah?

[JASON]
No

Whizzer and The Lesbians™️ laughed quietly.

[TRINA]
Then, we'll cancel the bar mitzvah?

[JASON]
No.

The rest joined in with the quiet laughter.

[TRINA AND MENDEL]
We'll wait until you make a decision

Jason's actor walked off stage.

[TRINA (spoken)]
Now what do we do?

[MENDEL]
Why don't we tell him
That we don't have the answers?
And that life can be grim
Life's not all about him

Jason looked at the floor.

And things rarely go according to plan
Tell him things happen
For no damned good reason

"That they do..."

And his lack of control
Kills what's best in his soul
And this is the start
To his becoming a man

[TRINA]
Holding to the ground
As the ground keeps shifting

[MENDEL]
Trying to keep sane
As the rules keep changing

[TRINA AND MENDEL]
Keeping up my head
As my heart falls out of sight
Everything will be alright

"Please stop saying that because we all know it's not true!" Jade cried.

Issie tapped their back, "There, there..."
