Title: To feel as alone as the invisible man
Pairing: Artie Abrams/Tina CC
Rating: PG
Plot: Tina has never felt so invisible...
She feels invisible. Always had. In Glee, she feels a little less so---but it still lingers every now and then. She's not like Rachel who demands the attention, or like Quinn Fabray who everyone hangs all over. She's not as popular as Santana or Brittany---or even the football boys. Mercedes and Kurt are even more noticeable. And it's not like Artie was hard to miss. For god's sake, he was the only kid in their year to be strapped to a wheel chair. Artie---he won't even look at her any more. And she shouldn't have lied, only, it took her ages to realize that. She stutters his name [out of the nerves she actually does have] But he pulls a face that makes her stomach lurch. They only make contact when they have to. Sometimes she wonders if Mister Shue purposely set up some of the dance steps so that she and Artie have to get along. It does little good, everyday after practice he wheels away from her, he leaves her all alone. Even the hands of of Mercedes and Kurt on each side of her shoulders doesn't bring any comfort. Now more than ever Tina Cohen-Chung has never felt so invisible.
