A/N: Hi everyone! For this chapter I'm changing some of what happened/will happen on the show. Klaine is not engaged /yet/ and Tina is not nominated as Prom Queen! Sorry for the delay, hope you enjoy. Warning for light angst.

The colored lights were almost blinding contrasting with the dark blue sky outside. Mike couldn't see anything two feet ahead of him. Once his eyes adjusted to it, though it was like he was dreaming, it looked absolutely perfect. Of course, nothing as cool as last year's because honestly what on earth could beat a Dinosaurs themed Prom?

This time it had soft blue and silver colors all over the ceiling and on the chairs. The stage looked amazing and all tables had a little center piece with some white flowers on it. While he was still star struck by the vision, he felt a slight touch on his shoulder. Turning around Mike was immediately engulfed with a brotherly hug from Sam.

"Dude! What are you doing here?" the boy wondered with a huge grin lighting up his face.

"Blaine didn't tell you?" Mike wondered.

Before Sam could answer, Blaine arrived from the other side of the gym, followed by Kurt who had a cup of the famous Sue Sylvester punch dangling between his hands. "You made it!" Blaine squealed loudly and Mike could swear he had the exact same look as that time the Glee Club had gotten him the first season of Arrow in DVD, for his birthday.

Briefly sending a look towards Kurt's direction, who had stayed behind catching up with some senior, Mike replied with a silly grin. "/You/ made it."

Blaine winked knowingly at him before turning over to his boyfriend – whom he continued to refer to as "just a friend"- leaving Mike to chat and share news with his old friends. After a while, he excused himself to go drink something and that was when he saw her.

In that moment he felt like everything had stopped, there was no music, no freshman's laughing, no Principal Figgins yelling at some students fighting, there absolutely nothing except Tina. She was wearing a grey dress and the bottom was in this huge fluffy feathered material, while the top was a mesmerizing, shiny fit corset. Her hair was cascading past her shoulders styled with the most flawless waves. She looked gorgeous, breathtakingly gorgeous and it took him a while to remind himself how to breathe again.

She seemed to have noticed his stare – like anyone could miss it - and she just grinned at him, her cheeks turning into the slightest shade of pink. "Hi!" she greeted. "Wha-what brings you here?" she wondered curious, a smile never leaving her face.

"You look amazing." Mike blurt out before he could stop himself. Tina murmured a thank you, her eyes twinkling. "I just thought we could…" placing his hands on his pockets, he decided to go on a different direction than what he had originally planned, "maybe dance?" He asked carefully. "Unless you're with someone, in that case it'd be fine… It's just that I'm here a-and,-" Oh great, Mike thought sarcastically. Now he was stuttering like a 7th grader who just had his first crush.

"No, no," she laughed slightly at his nervous stutter, "of course I'll dance with you." Tina happily replied but Mike coul still sense some tension that he was definitely not used to. With a huge but still careful grin, Mike hold out his hand and when she took it, it was like a déjà-vu to all the times they had swayed in his room, because that was just what they used to do.

The two of them went to the middle of the gym where they could also watch a giggling Kurt dancing particularly close to Blaine who was oblivious to whatever that was happening around him.

"I'm glad those two finally worked things out. Though, I don't know who they want to fool by saying they're friends." Tina commented, noticing the direction of Mike's gaze.

He just shook his head, a silent agreement.

"Uh..Mike?" Tina nudged Mike slightly so he'd look at her.

"Hmm?"

"I just-We-I think-" Just when she was about to curse herself for letting the stutter win, a noisy sound came from the microphone on stage. When they turned, they saw Principal Figgins adjusting the microphone and coughing loudly before announcing the nominees from Prom King and Queen. Mike didn't recognize any of those people except for Rick the Stick who surprisingly was still in high school; actually he must have been in high school more years than some of the actual teachers.

"And this year's Prom King iiiis…" there was the usual drum roll before the Principal's face turned into a frown and was that a suppressed laugh?! "Well, Mckinley High School Students, another year in a row we've a winner that is /not/ a nominee." Although some of the sophomores and juniors gasped, almost everyone just rolled their eyes. It wasn't that much of a surprise when it happened every year. "Stonner Brett" Figgins announced, gaining a bunch of different reactions. Some people were crying from laughter, some people were whistling and others were just too shocked to do anything at all. "Did you know he raps?" he overheard Tina saying, although she didn't look at him, obviously too busy trying to contain her laughter.

While everyone was still trying to catch their breath and Brett was happily playing with his crown, oblivious to everyone's mocking, it was time to announce this year's Prom Queen. It was the most awaited "award" and everyone was bouncing in their shoes from anticipation. "And McKinley High's 2013 Prom Queen is..."

"Tina Cohen-Chang!"

And after that it all just happens in a flash. Tina can't move at first, she looks paralyzed in her spot like her heels were glued to the ground stopping her from doing the slightest move. The next minute, Blaine is rushing to her side, beaming with excitement and he has to practically drag her to the stage. Although her previous mood had been shock, now that the crown was on top of her head, she wore the most beautiful smile. She looked so happy and moved, it was pretty much impossible not to smile. Finally everything had paid of for her, Mike thought.

That was until the worst possible scenario happened. Suddenly, her dress, neck and even the bottom of her hair were stained red. Everyone gasped and Mike's gaze went from her hair to the floor to find what the hell had made that kind of damage. He expected to find a bucket of red paint or some kind of slushie, but when he looked closely, Kurt's voice was already vocalizing what he had just seen, "That's pig's blood." Kurt gasped, shutting his mouth with his hand, like he didn't want to admit what his eyes saw, a way to make it all a lie. This couldn't be happening. Blaine had a mirrored expression, just as all the New Directions.

Tina stood there. Besides a surprised shriek, she didn't react. Instead she just looked at her stained dress and then to everyone in the crowd, her brain not quite processing the moment. Mike's heart was pounding rhythmically in his chest when he started to realize what was /really /happening. The same realization seemed to hit Tina because her previous shocked expression had turned into a frown, her breath getting stuck in her throat as a tiny sob escaped her throat.

Mike felt like his heart had been shattered into a million pieces so he can't even imagine how Tina is feeling. When she rushed down the stage and started blindly running through the crowd, Mike didn't hesitate to follow her, as fast as he could. There was no consolation anyone could give to something like this but he certainly wasn't going to let her alone without doing anything.

"Tee…" Mike sighed when he was confronted with the image of the tiny girl sat on the floor against the metal lockers, her head between her knees, shoulders rising up and down like she couldn't catch a single breath. The sound of her sobs had increased in volume and intensity. Ever since Mike had known her, he never saw her in such miserable state and the sight was just ripping his heart out.

"M-Mike?!" Her tone was surprised, as if she hadn't heard his footsteps coming in her direction.

"Tina I'm so sorry." The words came out of Mike's mouth involuntarily. He knew this wasn't his fault but he felt like he had to say something, something to make this slightly less painful.

"This isn't-"Tina glanced at Mike, unable to continue her sentence and the sight of her face was heartbreaking. Her eyes were red and swollen, black mascara stains merged with fresh tears rolled down her face. Her voice was small and he could see she was trying her hardest not to fall apart. She wanted to show him that she was strong and maybe to also prove that this "new Tina" could take anything.

After a short while though, the sobs had returned and Tina had her head between her knees again. "Hey" Mike nudged, his voice soft, taking her left hand from around her knees, rubbing his thumb along her knuckles. "It's going to be okay." He assured comfortingly. When Tina looked up, Mike had already his other arm on her shoulder and all of the sudden she is launching herself onto him, her arms instantly going around his neck, holding tight, while Mike's hands rub circular patterns on her back.

"Tina?" A quiet, concerned voice that didn't belong to Mike asked. It was Kurt's. He moved so he was standing right next to her now, his back slightly lowered. Blaine was right behind him, looking smaller than usual, a similar worried look crossing his features. Tina slowly moved her face from her previous spot in Mike's shoulder, noticing how pale Kurt's face was. "I-I'm okay" She managed, although they all knew it was a comforting lie.

"I know what you're feeling right now." Kurt told her softly, resting besides her on the cold linoleum floor. He could see the puffy red-eyed eyes, the broken expression even if Tina was trying to hide it. He could feel what he had felt not 2 years ago, all over again. The humiliation? The betrayal? The self-despair? It was probably the worst moment of his entire life, he couldn't picture what it could've been if Blaine hadn't been there. Blaine, the person that had always been there for him, supporting and loving him unconditionally. The person who didn't mind to face his own fears from a previous high school dance, if that meant that it would bring a smile to his boyfriend's face.

Kurt was going to help Tina make it through this. She was definitely not going to face this alone.
