*Ring*
The bell at William McKinley High School went off. The students rushed out of class and headed for the cafeteria to have their lunch, all students except for one. Tina Cohen-Chang. She decided to go to the April Rhodes Civic Pavilion or mostly known as the auditorium. She sat by the piano and naturally her fingers started playing the keys for Cheer Me Up. When the time was right she started to sing.
You got me out of my seat, it's like I've been in bed for a week
I've been slipping and sliding all over the place
And nobody cares, I'm such a disgrace
Those lyrics couldn't have fit her situation any better. She's been a mess lately and no one notices. She figures that it's all because everyone has their attention on that Marley girl.
You get me out of my mood, that's something only you can do,
Cause' I feel like I'm home when I'm in your arms
And that's why I need you to...
Cheer Me Up,
Come on dance with me, (Whoa)
And you take my hand.
Cheer Me Up (Oh, Oh)
Even if we're the only ones dancing,
Cheer Me Up (Whoa...)
Please won't you cheer me up (Oh, Oh)
Even if were the only ones dancing.
Tina needs to be cheered up, but not by just anyone. No, no, no. She wants to be cheered up by her ex-boyfriend, whom she still loves, Michael Robert Chang Jr., although, he can't. He is now in Chicago, studying in the Joffrey Ballet Academy of Dance.
You turn my frown upside down,
My smile's lost 'n' found when you are around
(You Cheer Me Up, Cheer Me Up)
You turn my frown upside down,
My smile's lost 'n' found when you are around
Tina started to cry. She really missed Mike.
Only you got the magic, only you got the key...to my heart
To my heart, yeah...yeah...Oh
Only you got the magic, only you got the way to my heart...
Why would she want him to cheer her up, out of all people, why her ex-boyfriend? The answer is because he was the only one who knew how to make her smile.
Tina stopped singing when her tears streamed down faster and made her breathing harder. She remembered the events that happened last week at Mr. Schue's and Ms. Pillsbury's wedding.
[Flashback to a week ago]
Tina and Mike lay at the back seat of Mike's car in a heated make out session. Tina pulled away. " I've got to go. Blaine's probably looking for me." She explained.
"Blaine's probably still making out with Kurt." Mike said remembering what Tina saw them doing earlier when she came to check up on Blaine. Mike then went back to attacking Tina's lips again. Tina smiled into the kiss.
They lay there lost in love until someone knocked on the window. Mike pulled away and groaned. "Who the hell is that?" he asked annoyed.
They both got up and straightened their clothes to see Quinn outside. Mike and Tina got out. "Hey Quinn, I missed you so much." Tina said as she hugged her. Mike repeated her actions.
"I was wondering where you both were. I found it a little bit suspicious when you both weren't inside yet. I figured you two missed each other." Quinn said with a smirk. Tina just blushed while Mike looked down and smiled.
"Enough with your awkwardness, let's head inside." Quinn urged. They all laughed.
"I have to clean up first," Tina said "I'll meet you guys inside." She smiled. Quinn and Mike headed inside the church as Tina went into the bathroom. She quickly fixed her hair and makeup and headed inside.
She went to sit beside Blaine, since they did go together. Tina caught Mike's glance. She saw the sadness in his eyes and gave him a reassuring smile. Mike then slightly smiled.
"What took you so long?" Blaine asked. "I thought you were already inside after you saw Kurt and me." He explained.
"I went to greet people outside." Tina lied. She didn't think he needed to know. But just to clear her conscience she told herself that she did greet someone.
"Were those people Mike, by any chance?" Blaine asked knowing what her answer would be. When she looked down and blushed, he knew he was right. Blaine just laughed slightly.
After the unfortunate events of Ms. Pillsbury running out, they decided to head to the reception because Rutsy and Rose Pillsbury didn't want to pay for nothing. Tina decided to go with Mike instead of Blaine.
"I understand, now go off with your 'ex-boyfriend'." He said putting air-quotations on "ex-boyfriend". Tina hit him playfully and laughed. She headed to Mike's car and waved at Blaine.
In the car Tina was silent. Thinking about what happened earlier. "Is there something wrong, Tina?" Mike asked worried.
Tina smiled at him. "No nothing's wrong. I'm just thinking." She replied while taking his hand.
Mike relaxed. "Well, what has floated through your mind making you think so hard?" Mike asked taking a glance at her.
"It's just, what are we? Like, are we dating or not?" She asked curiously.
Mike sighed. "Do you want to get back together? I know that it's what I want, ever since we broke up." He said.
"Can I think about it?" Tina looked at him. Mike kept his eyes on the road. Tina felt him tense up a little bit.
"Fine." was all that could come out of his mouth.
When they arrived at the reception, Tina rushed to go find Blaine. Once she found him she saw that he was with Kurt. "Hi Blaine, hi Kurt." She hugged the both of them.
"Where's Mike?" Blaine asked. Tina looked down. Kurt and Blaine looked at each other and understood.
"Anyways, we've got to go. It's our turn to sing." Kurt said. Tina just smiled while Blaine and Kurt headed for the stage to sing Just Can't Get Enough.
Tina sat down at a table and smiled when she saw Mike dancing. He caught her glance and made his way towards her.
"Hey there, beautiful." Mike said with a bright smile. Tina blushed. No matter how many times he called her beautiful she still blushed. She loved how he made her feel. Tina focused again on the stage with longing eyes.
"Why so tense? Did I do something?" Mike asked with his eyebrow furrowed.
"It's not you. It's just, do you feel that?" Tina asked. Mike looked confused. "Kurt and Blaine's love is all over the room. You can feel it. It's like their hearts are volcanoes that just erupted their feelings for each other." Tina said what was in her mind.
"You know people used to think the same about us." Mike muttered to himself.
Tina heard him and whispered, "I know." She turned around to see Mike with a huge grin. Tina gave him a sly smile back.
Kurt and Blaine got off the stage. "I'm going to get a drink." Tina excused herself.
Moments later, Finn and Rachel got up to sing We've Got Tonite. Couples flooded the dance floor, slow dancing.
Mike caught Tina's glance and walked up to her. "May I have this dance?" Mike asked, his eyes glowing as he held out his hand.
Tina smiled. "Of course." She said taking his hand as he led them to the dance floor. They just danced through the whole song in their own world.
When Finn and Rachel got off the stage, Tina noticed that at least half of the people dancing were gone, including Finn and Rachel themselves. "Where is everyone?" Tina wondered out loud.
Mike got out of his daze "Hmm, I don't quite know. Maybe they went off to their rooms." Mike suggested.
Tina's eyebrow furrowed. "We all booked a room here." Mike explained. Tina understood.
Tina then yawned. "Are you tired? Do you want to go to my room?" Mike asked.
"No, no it's okay." Tina said yawning.
"No, you're tired. I'll take you to my room. You need some rest. And it's too dark to bring you home." Mike insisted.
"Seriously, I'm okay." Tina said.
With that Mike carried her bridal style to his room. "Mike! Let me go!" Tina demanded.
"Nope, you need some rest." He said. Tina just kept quite. She knew that there was no winning with Mike. While they were in the elevator, Mike noticed that Tina fell asleep. He smiled to himself.
When they got to his room, he gently lay her down on the bed. Mike changed out of his tux into a wife beater and jogging pants. He lay down beside her and admired her beauty. He kissed her forehead. Tina woke up with his action. Tina just looked up at him and smiled. Mike bent down to kiss her. She responded, smiling into the kiss. Mike pulled away. "I love you." Tina whispered.
"I love you too." Mike whispered back. Their lips then locked together once more. The kiss got deeper and they knew it was right.
[End of flashback]
Now, you're probably wondering if they love each other, why did they break up. They might love each other, but they don't know if it's strong enough to last.
This is my first story, so I would appreciate any reviews. I don't know if I'll continue this story but just tell me if you want me to.
