Hello dear readers! It's me, you're not in illusion, I'm alive! I am really sorry for not updating sooner, but life has taken its toll. I've been swamped with homework and dance classes. We had family round for Thanksgiving. AND, on top of all that, it was last week Hanukkah so I was inundated with aunts and uncles calling round, and my bubbe (that's my grandma for all you non-Jews) came to stay for the festivities, oh joy! I broke my wrist on a class trip ice-skating so I have been off school for a few days and no sporting activities. *sigh* Ah well. My cousin is getting married soon so we're flying off to Pasadena in the new year and we're celebrating Christmas in Sri Lanka sooo...I just wanted to fit you in with another update before I'm packing and making sure I have enough sun-screen (I burn like a tomato) and off buying last minut Christmas presents.

My awesome reviewer TicTacToe21 suggested that at the end of the story, in like a sort of Epilogue, all of the Gleeks meet up and talk about Tina. I love this idea but I would like to know what you guys think. Poll on my profile. She also has suggested that one Gleek strikes up a friendship with Tina, she suggested Quinn, and Tina gets angry at her for not telling people about it. Now since I have not thought of any ideas for Quinn, this is what I am going to do.

Shout-outs for this chapter are for TicTacToe21 for her amazing ideas, Alexia, my anonymous reviewer who offers great words of support, and everyone else who has reviewed.

And finally, I am offering public apologies to iamsusan and GoldStarGrl, I am working on their one-shots, I promise. My laptop broke so I am in the process of transferring all of my files onto my new computer. It was an early Hanukkah gift, a MacBook Air!


Artie Abrams

"Feeling bad yet? Regret? Remorse?"

Yes. Yes. And yes. Tina, why? Why, wouldn't you get help? Why, wouldn't you talk to your parents? And more importantly, why did you feel suicide was the only option? All these thoughts were running through Mike's head as Tina's pain-filled voice floated throughout the tiny confines of his small bedroom.

"So, I bet you're all wondering whose next up on the list? Well, wait no more. Number four is Artie Abrams."

Artie Abrams. Yeah, he knew that name. He just wasn't sure where from.

"Artie, everyone who met you liked you. You were a nice, respectable boy, president of the AV club. School photographer." Oh yeah! That's where he knew him from. What was he doing on the list?

"Well, I guess you really put those great photography skills to good use when you decided to take pictures of me undressing in my bedroom, huh? Do you remember that Artie? Do you remember me crying and screaming for you to go away? No. Must of slipped your mind, I guess. Let me refresh it for you. You sat there outside of my house, just waiting for the right time. You knew my parents were never home so you could just sit there all day, waiting for me. I knew you had some sort of sick obsession for me, but that really pushed me over the edge."

That bastard. How dare he take pictures of Tina? How could he? What kind of psycho would take pictures of someone undressing? And in front of her own house too. He used to respect Artie. He was one of the kids Puck and Matt would slushie everyday but he would just walk away, his head held high. How was he supposed to know the perverted thoughts running through his head?

I guess you really don't know what people are really like.

Tina's cold, hard voice slapped him back to reality, pulling him from his thoughts about the best ways to kill Artie, slowly and painfully. Just like Tina's suffering.

"Artie, you were one of the people I thought I could trust. Obviously not. Thank you, Artie. You were the person who showed me what life really is. Something that people misinterpret, you think you know what it is, but then it just fucks you up even more. So thanks Artie. I really hope you're happy, because I won't be. Not ever again."

Things were getting really tense. Puck, Matt, Santana, Artie...These were people you wouldn't suspect in having a part in a girl's suicide. Artie had been one of the most trustworthy people anyone could ever meet. Santana, while abrasive and slightly mean, always kept herself to herself and had been Tina's ex-friend. If these two people, who no-one would think of being a cause in Tina's death, what the fuck had he done?


So…Are you surprised? I know, I know. ARTIE? Yeah. Ha ha. I bet you're all wondering when I'm gonna tell ya what Mike's done, aren't ya? Of course you are. XD Well I'm thinking of making Mike's chapter in flashbacks, like when Tina met Mike, how they interacted...Blah, blah, blah. All that jazz. Let me know what you think. Either PM me or let me know in a nice little review. Love ya!
