Ch. 15
A/N: Oh, hey everyone. I know I have been gone for… months. See what had happened was the phone that I used to write these fics went out on me. I did get a new phone, but I could not figure out how to write stories on it. Now, I have a laptop and I am back folks. My update schedule will be back to normal. With explanations and logistics out of the way. As always, I do not/have not/probably nor will ever own the rights to The Breakfast Club or any of it 's characters and themes. All that jazz belongs to the dearly departed and deeply missed John Hughes. Fair warning, this is long chapter. Now, without further ado, Enter the Childstar. That felt good to say.
The group is now dealing with the aftermath of Alli v Claire. "You're such a bitch." Claire yells. "I'd do it though. If you love somebody it's okay." Alli assured trying to clean her mess. "You are so weird. You don't talk all day and when you do you fuck me over." Claire broadcasts in disbelief. "Blame the guys too" Tatiana pipes up. Claire glares at her. "Don't look at me like that. Yeah what she did was bogus as hell but the guys egged it too" Tatiana reminds. "Shut up, Easton. She's just pissed because she admitted to something she didn't want to." Andrew interrupts. "She was forced to admit something very personal. She has every right to be upset." Tatiana rolls her eyes.
"Doesn't make it any less weird." Claire adds in. "Were all bizarre. Some hide it better than others." Andrew shrugs. "How are you bizarre?" Claire asked. "He can't think for himself." Allison cuts in. "She's right. Do you know what I did to get in here?" Andrew asks. Everyone in the circle shakes their heads no. "I taped Larry Lester's buns together" Andy admits. "That was you?" Brian gasps. "Yeah the tape pulled off and his hair and some skin went with it. Bizarre thing is I did it for my old man. I tortured this poor kid because I wanted him to think I was cool. He always talks about how wild he was. I kept feeling like he was disappointed at me for never cutting loose.
So, I'm sitting in the locker room taping my knee. Larry's undressing. He is skinny, weak, and I started thinking about how my dad hates weakness. Next thing I know I'm wailing on him. My buddies are cheering me on. Next thing I know I am in Vernon's office thinking about Larry dad. Larry has to go home to him and explain what happened. He must have felt so fucking humiliated. How do you apologize for something like that? And it's all because of me and my old man. I fucking hate him. He is like this mindless machine that I can't relate to. Andrew, you've got to be number one! No losers in this family. Your intensity is for shit. Win win win! You son of a bitch. You know, sometimes I wish my leg would give out.
That way I wouldn't be able to wrestle anymore and he could forget all about me." Andrew cries. "Sounds like your old man and my old man should go bowling." John jokes. "That sounds like my dad with acting. You guys know I'm not even from California originally." Tatiana starts. "Where are you from?" Brian asks. "Texas, San Antonio to be exact. My dad sold insurance and my mom was a stay at home mom. Dad wanted more for us though. So, I was put in beauty pageants, commercials, and then Working Mom. At first it was cool. Then around the third season things started to get worse. Daddy wanted me in movies. Then came Girl from the Black Lagoon.
I wanted to be a real kid. Real school, real friends who liked me for me. For every season after that mama would tell me, "One more season, honey." I was the only one supporting my family at that point. It was a lot of pressure for me who was just a little girl at the time. Fame really got to my dad's head. He pushed me more and more. Even when mama got sick. I did not get to see her because of that damn show. I was on set when they told me she passed. We buried her and they fired me soon after. Honestly, I was so happy when they let me go. I can go back to Texas and be normal. Daddy even made me feel like we going to put Hollywood behind us. Him and I took a road trip.
We saw sights, visited friends and family I had not seen in years, we ate junk food, and then we get to Texas. I am thinking, oh I am home now. He tells me we have one more stop to make in Illinois. I was excited because I knew Aunt Vi was here. We drive here, he stops the car, I get out, he hands me my suitcase and a note, says I have served my purpose and then drives away. Thank god for Aunt. She always hated that was apart of that type of life." Tatiana explains now in full blown tears. "Easton." Andrew murmurs. Tatiana peaks her head up and Andrew throws himself into hugging her. She just losses it. When they pull away Andrew says, "Fuck him."
Tatiana gives him a small smile. "Fuck yours too." She nods. "You both should've been protected more." Claire mused. Tatiana retreats to her place next to John. Before she gets comfortable, John pulls her into his lap. "He didn't deserve you." John whispers into her hair.
A/N: That was a long and emotional chapter huh? Thank you for reading. I am so glad to be back. I will see you al tomorrow. Bye guys!
