    Tina, Tiny Pieces Chapter 5 – Part 1

    7:30 p.m. Tina and Henry’s

    I can barely sit still in this chair.  I love Angelica but right now Im so furious that Im ignoring her.  I feel bad about that.  I walk to where shes playing, where shes methodically dropping shiny blocks into a platic box.  I crouch down beside her.  I kiss her hair.

     

    Such a smart girl you are, Angel.  Yep, that one goes right there.  Through the big square hole.  Very good!

     

    I kiss her hair again. I hand her a block.

     

    As I mentally rehearse my imminent explosion, Im occasionally thrown off track by a nagging, fleeting thought that I am to blame.  I am partially to blame.  It is not entirely his fault, I may have led him to think it was alright.  Perhaps I even said as much, or as little, myself.

     

    No matter whos at fault, this rage is brewing.  At him, at once, at everything.  As Angelica pulls my hair again, my head pounds, not from her but from the mid-morning conversation with Helena.

     

    We have plenty of cash in reserve, Helena.  You said yourself we have at least $10 million alone in –

     

    Its less now.

     

    How much less?

     

    Enough that we need to rethink some projects, as I said.

     

    How many?

     

    Im not certain, Im waiting for the accountants to deliver the good news.

     

    The resigned, deadened quality to her voice makes me clench my teeth.

     

    What the fuck happened, Helena?

     

    The financial end of things is not your concern, Tina, but if you must know, Ive had to release some significant assets, mostly in cash. Both here and for – never mind.  And need I remind you that things in the film business arent as rosy as they once were?

     

    So what?  Your — your unprofessionalism is gonna cost me big time?  I have at least three medium sized projects that Im moving forward on, two are really really good. Just two fucking weeks ago you told me to do what I want, how I want.  And now —

     

    She bristles, she arches an eyebrow

     

    My unprofessionalism?  Pardon?

     

    I assume you ended up paying Dylan.  Or her boyfriend.  I warned you about that one but you didnt listen, Helena.  I mean, Im sorry it happened but what the fuck did you think was going to happen?

    1. It’s great to see the friends here intervene to help Bette through the rough patch. Looks like Tina will be facing her demons even more very soon. If they both start coming to their senses, hope it’s not too late. Await your next chapter.

    2. Alice didn’t sournd like Celine Dion, lastkid, she sounded like the Murmurs. You have a deft hand with characters, girl. It’s a pleasure to read. Tina’s plotting her next explosion? What is she, a terrorist? Are there any bridges that woman hasn’t burned?

    3. my heart is breaking again that bette can’t see angie…it will take her long time to get use to it…maybe tina can ask alice to babysit

    4. I think I finally figured out the title of the chapter. I’m a little slow right now as I’ve been sick all day. I’ll write a better comment for the next part.

    5. Very telling that Tina ‘rehearses’ an explosion, rather than plans a talk. Clearly Tina is sticking to form, she is looking to assign blame for her emotional upheavel rather than apportioning the responsibility for her circumstance equally…..Tina certainly thought herself the paragon of virture until Helena’s trenchant words reminded her otherwise. She’s trying to find fault with everyone else to keep her own demons at bay…..Passive/aggressive Tina simmers just below the surface. She ignores Helena and changes the subject when Tina’s core issue is address – her heterosexuality…..This challenge from Helena, her perceived rejection and the realization that there are consequences to her actions are the impetus for her irritation with Henry……Tina continues to expect everyone to cater to her, to make decisions for her. She wants Helena to tell her what she should do about her job, as if it’s Helena’s responsibility to make her life better, or easier. Just like she expected Bette to tell her where she should go when Bette asked Tina to move out in season three. Tina is never proactive herself…….Bette throws herself into her work because it’s easier than dealing with her emotions, but it truncates healing……Bette seems to understand that Helena is going to be a part of her social circle and is willing to accept it – to a degree. Perhaps she knows that on some level Helena too, was duped by Tina……I loved the interactin between Alice and Shane, they each want the same thing but have different means of obtaining it…..Alice was right not to push Bette too hard about the mixer. She is still vulnerable and if you push a skittish animal too much you run the risk of them bolting. Socializing with friends is one thing, there is nothing at stake. Going to a mixer is quite another. Bette is still stinging from rejection and hurt, she needs to strengthen her self-esteem before she will be good to anyone new in her life…..Shane’s words were the truer than she knows…..Kid, your writing is anything but prosaic. It is always engrossing and sagacious, but never trite. On to the next chapter!!
