Second Time Around || Brotina

Tagging: Tina Cohen-Chang & Brody Weston

When:  9pm; August 14th, 2017

Where: Silver Spoon Diner

General Notes: After breaking up with Rachel, Brody meets again with Tina to finally hear her out.

Tina tried not to jump every time at the the ring of the diner door being opened. It was almost deja vu. Here Tina was, sitting in the same spot she had weeks ago, just as nervous as she had been then, waiting for Brody to show up. Only this time she was finally going to tell him everything...including the fact he had a couple month old son he didn’t know even existed. A lot had changed since the last time though, when their talk had been interrupted by a ill-timed phone call from Brody’s work, causing him to leave Tina floundering for more then two weeks. Two weeks in which Tina had made some questionable choices trying to make Brody jealous. As guilty as she felt, it must of worked because Brody had broken up with Rachel.  After a grueling week of silence to give him space as he had requested, Tina was anxious to see him. Rrring. Tina jolted out of her train of thought as she spotted Brody coming in the diner, looking like a model that didn’t quite belong in a place like this.

Brody: Or it might make things wor| (deleted)

Brody: Yeah. I promised I'd listen to you, and it's been a week. We can meet up sometime tomorrow?

Tina: Sounds good. The diner again, or no? Second times the charm.

Oh, T, that’s not so bad! I’ve done way worse, and heard about way worse. There’s no way that’l gonna like, be a career-ruining thing! Keep your head up.

One time I called a director ‘dad’, okay? Could be way worse. You’ll be back to wowing them in no time.

It’s hard to do, even with all the horror stories people have been sharing -which does make me feel slightly better and like I’m not a major screw up- I still feel like I’ve hit a major funk in my mood and my non-existent career. 

But thank you.

TINA: Don't be mad...but I didn't come totally clean to you.

TINA: It's not a English man I'm after, but one in Hollywood.

TINA: I lied because I didn't trust that it wouldn't get out...and because you know him.

TINA: I'm so sorry Mason. And if you don't want to talk to me like ever again, well I understand.

artfuldrummer:

That seems to be going around lately, I’m sorry you didn’t end up having a very good day but it happens to all of us really. And I’ll cross my fingers it doesn’t wind up on Youtube or anything. I’m Artie by the way. Artie Abrams.

Uh thanks, if it did I think I’d pack up and go back to England for goo this time. I could never live that down, I’m barely doing that now. But I guess posting about it wasn’t the smartest thing to do either. 

Artie Abrams, hmm. Why does that name seem familiar? Where would I know you from?

quinnvincible:

Oh, c’mon, Tee. I don’t imagine it was that bad. Should I get extra wine for our girls’ night (or nights)? Don’t say that.

You’re right, it was worse. 

Yes please, I’ve already broken out the chocolates. Why? Ever since I got back things have been crappy. Maybe I’m not cut out for this life, maybe Hollywood just brings out the worst in me. Maybe my parents have the right idea...

Tina: I know you probably need more time, but I'm hoping you'll hear me out. I have some things to tell you that might help figure out what needs figuring out.

TEXTS | | Quinntina

Quinn: As you should; I want to hear it all. And you know, help if I can, of course. That's because literally nothing has been happening with me except this show.

Quinn: I know-- it's easier said than done, but still. Well, maybe send him a text, just to let him know you're there and want to help him figure it out if he'll let you? Then leave it at that. The ball will be in his court, so to speak.

Quinn: I absolutely agree, so I'm glad to hear that. Maybe because you have such a huge secret that you've kept covered, it's made the smaller things simpler to fib about? Then don't lie, Tee. I mean, I understand about the whole 'scandal' but if you ever want a real relationship with your 'brother', you'll have to be honest someday. Screw your parents.

Tina: I'm sure the show can't be that bad, just make sure they don't edit it to make you look bad for viewership. If you ever need a camera free space you know where I live. My parent's place is like a fortress, no paps can even get near it with all the fencing and trees.

Tina: Thats not a bad idea, I'll just text him and leave it at that. Don't want to be too pushy or appear too clingy.

Tina: I'm so tired of lying, I feel like a horrible person and it leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not sure what my parent's would do if the truth gets out though. Besides....

Tina: Is it bad I don't want to be seen as a mom though? Especially a relatively young mom? I can already hear the judge-y mom bloggers ranting about how I practically abandoned my kids to my poor parents.

Tina: IDEK, this whole thing is stressing me out and I'm five seconds away from getting gray hairs over this whole thing. And not the cool on trend kind.

Text + jane & tina

TINA: Isn't he? I ca't wait to dress him up in all those cute outfits and have a bunch of mini photoshoots.

TINA: Uh yeah, family tradition. Perks of being the elder sibling.

JANE: He's a lucky kid. I can tell you already love him a lot.

JANE: Some family tradition. I can see the logic; it's easier to love a baby you've named, but I'm so glad I wasn't named by five year old Trevor

JANE: My name would probably be Rocket Launcher Hayward or something.

TINA: I do, he's like a little ray of sunshine that makes the LA sun feel like a lightbulb in comparison. But maybe that's just because I've been an only child my whole life, so it's exciting to have a sibling, even if I didn't know I wanted one until now.

TINA: I'll count myself lucky I'm the oldest then! I don't know I think it's a cute tradition. I don't think my parents would have just allowed any wacky name, they had to approve it too. Guess Jasper is lucky that I'm a nice sister.

TINA: At least it would sound badass? Lol.

Quinn: This weekend? We can have a whole weekend sleepover if you want. I'm fully available and I wanna hear.

Quinn: I heard, yikes! Well, just give him a little time. I mean, obviously you're on his mind, so maybe give him a chance to figure it all out?

Quinn: Oh, nice! I'm jealous. Well hey, so long as he has no problem with that. I was about to ask-- you know he's my buddy. But, good. I'm glad you two are hanging out then.

Tina: Yes please, I can dish on all the things you've missed, which is a lot. And you can fill me in about what you've been up to since I've been getting almost radio silence from you lately.

Tina: I know, I know, but it's so hard I feel like I'm going to burst. I've been waiting for this for a little over a year! Maybe if I told him it could help him figure it out, but I already told him I'd wait.

Tina: No, he doesn't deserve that, at least not without knowing what he's gotten into. I told him almost right away. I've come to realize 1) I've been lying more since I got back then I have in my whole life and 2) I suck at this lying stuff.

Hon, if you want bad audition stories, hit me up and I’ll give you a dozen. All part of the game.

Chin up. You’re gonna be fine. (But if you need to drown your sorrows in a pint of ice cream, been there too.) 

Thanks. I could use some stories, then I wouldn’t feel like such a total failure. And the ice cream, always ice cream.

I know, but it’s so embarrassing, you know I’ve wanted a comeback, and here I am blowing my chance by not even taking it seriously and letting myself get distracted. But no more, I’ve already decided that.

hashtagmase:

Been there.

How bad was it?

On a scale of one to ten? twelve. 

I accidentally called one of the casting directors sir...and it was a woman. And that’s not the worst of it. They barely glanced as they waved me out, but i’m sure I heard sniggering when I was doing my reading. Which you know, I was suppose to be off script at but totally spaced. So yeah, it went great. Not.

F2F || TINCHEL

She sits down at her favourite restaurant with huge sunglasses on. It was only a matter of time before the world found out about her and Brody. Rachel thought first to tell her publicist just to have the best business decision but she already knew what they’d say. Make him the villain but subtlety and Rachel wasn’t sure she wanted to do that. It was also so confusing and instead of pondering the young star had been thrusting herself passionately into her work and her craft. 

It’s when she leaves that she sees Tina there. The faint memory of what Mason said ‘no one can hate Tina Cohen-Chang’ coming prominently to her mind. There was a bitterness Rachel couldn’t deny it. A swelling of anger mixed with the pain but there was so much that Rachel had to question for and wanted to know and Rachel Barbra Berry had never been afraid to get what she wanted. “Tina.” She said gulping. “I know about you and Brody.”

[tinaceecee-blog]

After bombing her audition, Tina decided she needed to eat her feelings with a good meal at a restaurant while on her way home. Quickly fixing her hair and makeup to hide the fact she had been crying, she jammed on a wide brimmed black hat that hid her face well, and made her way inside. The last thing she needed right now was pap pics of her looking like a hot mess. 

Of course luck was not on her side today, as soon as she opened the door, leaving the restaurant was Rachel, who she hadn’t seen since before her break up with Brody. Uh oh, at least she could test her new resolve about no longer playing dirty. As Rachel Approached her, Tina took a deep breath and prepared herself for the confrontation, hoping the other actress wouldn’t cause too much of a scene. That would be bad for both of them. 

Forgoing a greeting, Tina was taken aback a bit, but not surprised Brody told her the truth. Okay, so they were gonna cut to the chase. “Rachel.” She said, voice full of sincere remorse. “Well, I’m glad that he told, save’s me the the trouble.” She paused, scanning Rachel’s face, seeing the hurt and anger she was trying to control inside her. Tina Didn’t blame her.
