AN: Hi. I don't own glee and all that good stuff. To be honest I don't know where this came from, but it's here. There are 12 sort of unrelated chapters. They're not long they're more like a collection of ficlets. It's sort of angsty, and there is some triggering stuff towards the end. (THIS IS YOUR TRIGGER WARNING)
Chapter 1. Tina Cohen-Chang
Tina storms out of the classroom in true Rachel Berry fashion. In fact, Rachel Berry herself is impressed by her performance. Mike followed quickly behind her.
"Ti. Tina, wait up!"
Tina stops and waits for Mike to catch up to her.
"Look, I know you're upset about not being able to sing the solo at Regionals, but Rachel's a senior. This is her last hurrah. After these next few months pass, she'll be gone and you'll be able to sing all the solos you want."
Tina sighs, rubs her temple, then crosses her arms.
"I know that, I know it's maybe her last competition, but I've been a member of this club since the beginning. I was one of the original 5. I just feel like I'm not being valued enough. I know I can sing well. I'm at least half as talented as Rachel, but I'm always reduced to swaying in the background adding in oohs and the occasional ah every once in a while."
Mike understands where she's coming from because he's been relegated to the back for most of their glee club career, too. He also knows there's really nothing more he can say to get her to change her mind. So he does what he does best and holds her. He listens as she's drooling and blubbering incoherently at this point, and her makeup is sure to stain his favourite purple shirt but he really doesn't care.
"I value you." He whispers as he kisses the top of her head and gives her a tight squeeze.
Thanks for reading. Also, for those of you who have read my other stories, I haven't abandoned them, I just took a bit of a hiatus. I'll be adding new chapters soon.
