Mike rolled over and saw his clock '5:52' he groans as he pulls his covers over his head, waiting for the alarm to go off at 6, college life was grim.

He checked his phone, and saw the picture of him and Tina on his lock cover, it was their first kiss. He and Tina haven't been together for 36 days, not like mike had been counting. He couldn't bare removing the photo, it had been on his phone, since Timmy from Asian camp sent it to him, he loved the picture, it reminded him how he had the girl he'd practically been in love with since his sophomore year agreed to be with him, and now what were they? What did she say? 'We can still be friends?' FRIENDS? How can you be in love with your friend, it's not right.

Mike tightly closed his eyes and thought back to the moment when she broke it off with him...

FLASHBACK.

Mike had just arrived at Tina's, he was greeted by Mrs. Cohen chang, and then made his way to Tina's room, and as he opened the door, he saw her smack in the middle of her double bed, literally panned out.

Mike didn't want to disturb her, so instead took his shoes, jeans and jacket off and climbed in next to her, and wrapped his arms around her petit body, until they were in the spooning position. Mike loved being this way with her, having her close, and just being silent, everything with her was perfect, either their arguments when she would throw her oversized shoes at him, barely missing his head, and one hitting him square in the nose, he really didn't care, it made them who they are, and that's all Mike wanted.

He ran his hand over her sharp hip, and remembering the tattoo she had gotten off his name, he rubbed his thumb over it. Mike thought it was hilarious how she had gotten the tattoo in secret for his leaving present, and he thought it was adorable how she pouted and went into a playful mood when he laughed his ass off when she showed it him, and how he told her he only laughed cause he realised his girlfriend was a badass, and that he thought the tattoo was amazing.

Tina rolled over and leant her head into his chest, 'hmm Mikey, I've missed you' Tina mumbled.

'Missed me? We went out yesterday baby' Mike giggled.

Tina lightly bit his chest, getting harder until he squealed and then she let go.

'You're such a girl Michael Chang'

Mike pretended to act shocked 'Want me to show you how real men fight?'

Without her answer Mike dove on top of her, and had her pinned beneath his legs and began to tickle her. Mike loved play fighting with Tina, but one time he accidently hurt her, and she went absolutely mad and kicked Mike out of her house, and Mike texted her all night with soppy texts about how he would never hurt her on purpose, and how he was so sorry. But she never replied. Then in the morning he came to pick her up, but she completely ignored him, so he waited for glee and sang her a song, and she couldn't stay mad at him, and ended up kissing him behind the courts.

'Mike. STOP. I'm sorry, you're so manly!' Tina screamed.

Mike stopped and began to laugh, and got himself comfortable on top of her, and began to kiss her, and kissed over neck.

Tina groaned 'Mike, no stop!' She attempted to push him off her.

'Come on baby, I'm going in 3 days, we need to do it as much as possible' He was clearly joking, but Tina didn't see this as a joke.

'What do you mean with that' she said as she stared at him.

Mike pushed himself up, so he was above her, 'Nothing baby, I was kidding, we don't need to, if you don't want to, sorry' He said as he leaned in for a kiss.

'No Mike, that obviously meant something, are you trying to tell me you won't be able to go without sex? That you're going to cheat?' Tina said with anger in her voice.

Tina pushed Mike off herself, and began to dress herself.

'Tina where did you even get that from? I meant nothing of the sort? When have I ever cheated on you? We went a year without sex when you weren't ready, I never cheated then, and I only want you.' Mike said.

'Don't give me that Mike, you was a virgin when we got together, so it wasn't hard for you to go without' Tina snapped.

'So? Tina, don't please can we not argue? I'm going away soon and I don't want to remember my last few days with you being annoyed with me' Mike said as he stood up to reach for her.

But Tina held out her hand. 'Mike, I think this is it for us!'

'Tina, don't do this, over one stupid comment, we've been through so much' Mike said with tears in his eyes.

Tina couldn't hold it together. 'It's not about the comment, it's about the distance, and I can't handle it' she sobbed.

'We have spoken about this, we'll Skype every night, I will come home every opportunity i have, we can make this work Tina, we will.' Mike pleaded.

'I'm not asking you, I'm telling you Mike, this is it for us, I can't do this anymore, we can be friends.'

Mike just let the tears flow.

'Try Tina, don't finish this.' Mike begged.

Tina simply shook her head.

END OF FLASHBACK.

Mike sighed into his pillow, imagining what would have happened between them, if he didn't say the first thing on his mind? Would they still be together? Mike couldn't help but completely blame himself.

His alarm clock rang, and he pressed the off button, and began to agonisingly get himself out of his bed, he noticed his roommate was already up and gone. James, he was nice enough, friendly, always inviting Mike to parties. But Mike just simply rejected every offer he made; I guess Mike was the roommate he dreaded to be with when he first enrolled.

He quickly got himself ready, and it got to about quarter to 7, his first class was only 8, so he decided to make his way to the college cafe, and get his breakfast.

He sat waiting for his breakfast, when it finally came at 10 past 7, and he was becoming bored, until he received a message from Artie? This was unusual.

'HEY MIKE, WAS WONDERING IF YOU WANT TO COME BACK TO MCKINLEY TO HELP WITH THE MUSICAL? PLUS WE TOTALLY MISS YOU! MERCEDES IS COMING TO! PLEASE COME DUDE'-Artie.

Mike was speechless, he was excited and nervous, and should he be happy about seeing Tina for the first time? Or petrified? What if she's moved on? And he's still well, miserable?

He sends Artie a quick text back confirming that he would be there.

Then opened a new message.

HEY TEE, ARTIES JUST INVITED ME TO SCHOOL TO HELP WITH THE MUSICAL, DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?-Mike.

'HEY, YES ARTIE MENTIONED IT'-Tina.

'GOOD, I'VE AGREED, CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU, I REALLY MISS YOU TEE'-Mike.

'I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU EITHER. BUT REMEMBER WE'RE FRIENDS, AND THAT'S ALL I WANT FROM US'

Mike's heart sunk when he received that message, it hit him hard.

Did she really not care?
