Sat stood in the bathroom, staring at her reflection, what did she want? Who did she want?
The answer was clearly Mike. But why is it so hard to imagine a relationship with him?
Was it because she felt he was too good for her? Was it because she felt his popularity would get in the way? Or was it the Artie of all this?
She rinsed her face and walked out, certainly ready for a long time.
As she stepped out the doors, she saw Artie as he was being picked up by his dad. She sighed as he dismissed her.
Once she got home, she was greeted by her mother, and then went to bed, just before drifting off, she checked her phone, no messages.. that was unusual she was so used to Mike texting her, asking her how she is. He must be busy' she thought.
As Mike sank to the ground he couldn't help the tears falling he felt sick, why one girl got him like this he did not know! Why he let this one girl do this to him, he certainly didn't know.
He slipped out his phone ready to text Tina, then resisted, and slipped it into his pocket. This is it, no more nice Mike, no more making effort with girls that don't 100% appreciate it, no more playing second best, no more holding your heard on your sleeve for girls out of your league.
Tina awoke at 8pm, and checked her phone once again, her heart picked up when she saw one unread message, to see it was Kurt. Its not like she doesn't love discussing fashion with Kurt, its just, right now she needed Mike, she needed his sympathy. So she began to text.
'HEY MIKEY'
45 minutes later.
Tina began to feel sick, she felt guilty, what had she done? Mike usually texted back within minutes.
The bell went, and Mike groaned, GLEE. Just want he needed.
As he strolled down the hallway, he saw Tina alone, his first instinct was to run up to her, and pick her up, to hear her adorable laugh, but he had to restrain himself, he had to forget her, and her beautiful eyes, and not to forget her amazing smile... FOCUS CHANG.
He slowed himself down so he could be a little late. But soon enough he was there, and everyone was already seated, including Tina, and surprisingly not next to Artie? Mike thought, wasn't that yesterday, when she couldn't stay away from him, Mike sighed, and saw the last seat, next to Quinn.
He took his seat, and she sent him a sympathetic smile. He knew she saw the pain and hurt in his eyes whenever he saw her, was he that obvious.
'So, we're settled on proud mary? Great, everyone get your wheelchairs, and head to the auditorium' Mr shue said.
Everyone stood up, and Mike did it without any hint of enthusiasm.
'so are you gonna tell me why you look like your puppy died?' Quinn asked.
Mike just stared at her, sending her his 'wtf' face, and broke into a soft smile. Then effortlessly pointed his eyes in Tina's direction.
'I see, so care to explain' she pushed.
'I give up Quinn, with her, with everything, but i don't know how to move on, everytime i see her, i just i cant explain it.'
'I can help with that?' Quinn simply said.
'Go on?'
'Sleep with someone, rumour has it, you haven't lost it yet, and Britney will just about sleep with anyone.' Quinn said seriously.
Mike just pulled a face. 'no' He said as he shook his head.
'why?' Quinn laughed.
'Ive kissed one girl, the same girl im trying to get over by sleeping with one of my bestfriend, just a big no.' Mike said as he laughed at the thought.
'Dont you want to get over her?' Quinn urged.
'Dont want to, but i have to.' Mike said, 'But please come up with another way, i refuse to do that.'
'Fine! We'll talk after then' Quinn said as she walked off towards Finn.
'What sup girl? Mercedes asked.
Tina could break her stare on Quinn and Mike, was she seriously jealous of him talking to another girl? Who was in a happy relationship.
'earth to tina' Kurt said as he waved his hand in front of her face.
'Oh, sorry' Tina giggled.
'Whats going on with you two?' Mercedes asked.
'N-n-nothing' Tina spat out.
'stop with the stutter, we all know its fake now' Mercedes joked.
But Tina hardly heard, she just kept her eyes on Mike.
'Gather round everyone' Mr shue shouted.
Tina walked away from Mercedes and Kurt, and stood next to Santana.
'Whats going on with you and chang? He doesn't seem himself' Santana asked.
But Tina couldn't handle this, was that the reason Mike wouldn't reply to her messages? Had he secretly fallen in love with Quinn, is that why they always laugh and joke, had he realised him and Tina were a fluke, just when she, when she fell in love with him?
Tina felt sick. She saw it again. HIM AND HER! She suddenly felt a massive urge take over her body, she marched over to Mike and pulled him by the arm.
Mike stared down at her, mouth opened, taking in her angry eyes, which were filled with water.
'Think you could turn yourself away for one little private word?' Tina spat out.
'urm, yeah sure' Mike followed her, she wasn't stopping, where the hell was she going. She was now of the stage, and behind the curtain, Mike couldn't help but feel the curious eyes staring at the back of their heads.
'I don't know why you're trying to hurt me, but you've succeeded. You and Quinn, i thought you was better than that, going for your best friends girlfriend, thats bang out of order. But doing it, and not giving me the heads up? Thats just pathetic Mike. And now you know why i could never ever be with you, you're too far up your own butt, and you may seem nice, and be nice, but eventually everyone shows their true colours' Tina said as the tears started to form.
Mike was speechless, he felt like the wind had been knocked out his lungs. 'Me and Quinn. Tina what are you talking about?' Mike said softly.
'Dont bullshit me, Mike. Im done with you!'
'Done with me?' Mike screamed. 'Me? The boy you've been leading on since i first met you, then once i admitted everything, made me believe i had a chance. Your done with me, when i had to witness you kissing another guy, i don't think so Tina, No.. you aren't done with me, Im done with you' Mike said as he turned on his heel. And walked back to the rehearsal
