AN: Haaaaii my loves! I can't believe that Artie and Tina is effin endgame! Omfg. ugh. hahaha They're so perfect, I wanna cry. Their reunion was definitely worth the wait. Ugh. FIVE FREAKIN YEARS! But hell yeah Tartie is endgame! hahaha Sorry, I just have a lot of emotions when it comes to Tartie. lolz. And since I've been having a lot of feels lately, i decided to write something. hehehe. I hope y'all will like it. hehehe Love you, guys. :3

Disclaimer: If I owned Glee, Artie and Tina would've probably reunited 5 seasons ago. But hey, it's better late than never. Team Tartie all the way! :)))

It was already the break of dawn. Rays of sun started to enter the spaces through my window. Things were hectic in film school, as always, and I was pulling my last all-nighter for my midterms. Crumpled papers, cans of Red Bull, and cups of coffee have been scattered all over my room. Lord knows how much caffeine is running through my veins right now. One last film to edit, and I could finally focus on planning Brittany and Santana's wedding. All I have to do is submit this to my professor, and I can finally relax and unwind. All these stress from all the schoolwork while planning the wedding on the side is driving me insane. I could really use a breather right now. Good thing that Kurt and Tina volunteered to help me with the wedding planning or else, I would've probably been a mad man by now.

"Aaand 100%! BAM! I am officially done! Whoop whoop!" I raised my hands in the air and did my mini victory dance. I was thinking of staying up until my class but then my eyes were getting heavier by the minute. I looked at the time and luckily I still have a few more hours to spare.

And after a very long day in school, I immediately went back to my dorm room to finally unwind and get my much deserved sleep. I've been so sleep deprived lately; my classmates already call me zombie bot. After getting a quick shower, I brewed myself some chamomile tea to calm my nerves. Oh, the little pleasures in life. Just lying on your bed, relaxing while listening to your favourite album and...just...drifting...off...to...sleep...

*BUUUUUZZZZ*

I was already half-asleep when my phone rang. "Uh, h-hello?"

"ARTIEEEEE!" A high pitched voice said on the other line.

"Tina, ugh, please don't scream. I've had a long day." I chuckled.

"Oh, sorry." She giggled, "Well I just called to ask you if you already prepared the checklist for the wedding? Cause you know, we don't have much time left to buy stuff..."

"Oh, right! Ugh." How could I forget? We only have two weeks left to prepare for the wedding and before that we'll all meet up at Lima next week before heading to Indiana for the big day. Thank god that I won't have to deal any schoolwork for the meantime and I can finally focus on the wedding now.

"Wait, does that 'ugh' mean that you haven't done the checklist yet?" She inquired.

"Yeah," I sighed, "I've been so busy with school lately. It's midterm season that's why I'm cramming up my requirements. But I'm already done with everything now. I can finally focus on the wedding planning."

"Aww, poor Artie." She joked. "Don't worry, it's all good. I was just asking because you know, I might get a few tasks already done here. I'm not that busy lately."

"Ahh, that's nice," I grinned. "Well, I already wrote a few. I'll just email them to you later."

"Okay," She giggled. I don't know why, but hearing her voice and her laugh really took away my stress. "So, how're you feeling right now?"

"Meh, still the same. Still sleep-deprived." I gave a slight chuckle. "I was about to sleep when you called."

"Oh, I'm so sorry! Did I bother you? I'm really sorry, Artie."

"No, it's fine. Don't worry. I'm not sleepy anymore after you screamed through my ear." I laughed. "Just kidding. So, how're you, Tina?"

"Well, I'm already bored here and I couldn't wait to see you guys again. Can you believe it, Artie? Santana and Brittany are already getting married!" She sighed, "You know, sometimes I look into the sky and wonder when my time will come."

"Tina, don't worry, it'll come. I mean, who knows what the future holds for all of us, right? You don't need to rush things."

"Yeah, you're right." She said with a deep sigh. "Hey, uhm, Artie, I hope you don't mind, but are you free to meet me up at the auditorium next week?"

"...for?" I raised an eyebrow. I wonder what she has up on her sleeve this time. I love Tina, I swear. But sometimes, I just wonder why I'm friends with her in the first place. But hey, I can't stand being without her.

"Just be there, okay?" She pleaded, "I need you to be there, Artie. I need my best friend."

"Is it really that important, Tee?"

"Yes. Please, Artie?" I can already imagine her puppy brown eyes begging.

"Well, if you say so." I chuckled, "I mean, how can ever I say no to you?"

"Yay! Oh my god, I can't wait to see you!" She laughed. I swear if this girl wasn't my best friend, I'd probably unfriended her already on facebook. I'm just kidding. I'm glad that Tina called me tonight. I really needed someone to talk to make me forget all the stress.

"Me too, Tee." I laughed along with her.

"Oh, Artie, I miss you so much." Hearing those words coming from her really made my day. After all these years, Tina still has this effect on me that makes my heart melt into a puddle. Even if we're just friends now, she still never fails to make me feel better without even trying.

"Aww, don't worry, we'll see each other next week." I laughed.

"I know," She sighed, "It's so close yet so far. I can't wait to see you again, Artie."

"Ditto, Tee." I chuckled.

"Ditto? Just...ditto?" she said, "I wanna hear you say it."

"Say what?"

"Tell me that you also couldn't wait to see me again." She laughed.

"Okay, fine. I can't wait to see you again, Tina." I rolled my eyes, "Happy now?"

"Yeah. Totes happy." She giggled again. "Oh snap, I still need to finish that paper for my major! Ugh. Darn it. I need to go now, Artie. Can't wait for next week. See you!"

"Oh, okay. I'll see you then. Bye, Tee."

"Yeah. Also, don't forget to send me the checklist, okay? Byeee" She giggled once more before hanging up.

After sending the list to Tina, I tried going back to sleep. But her voice kept on playing on my head. Her laugh, her sweet voice, the picture of her giggling while she was talking to me, everything played inside my head. Even though we're already used to in our Tuesday Skype dinners, (We try to do this whenever the both of us are free. And we changed it to dinner because we're both busy with school during daytime.) I still miss her presence every day. She had been there for me since day one in high school, and just being here in New York without her feels so strange. It really feels so different whenever I'm hanging out with the gang here in New York. Not that I don't like hanging out with Kurt, Rachel, and the rest of the guys, it's just that I just wish that Tina was also here with us. Even though we still have communication and we still each other every time we all go home back to Lima, I still couldn't help not to miss her more and more each day. I really miss my best friend so much.

Thoughts? :D :))
