Hello guys! How are u? I'm here to update Inseparable and to tell you the next update is gonna be after 19th of August cause I'm going on holiday. So the next update is gonna be 20th or 21th of August so please be patient. Also, I'm starting to think more and more about the new story's concept I really hope you like it! So no more words here is chapter 24 (remember it's not 25 like it says) episode 21 of Glee. Enjoy!
Mike's POV
"Come on babe. Open it! You're killing me" I look at my girlfriend who's holding a white envelope in her hands.
"I can't. My hands are trembling" she says and she seems really nervous "You open it" she gives me the envelope and while I get up she sits where I sat two seconds ago. I open the envelope and get a white sheet out. I read through it and look at her with my heart beating fast.
"Tina… You're on the waitlist. You're waitlist to the Columbus College of Veterinary Medicine"
"I am?"
"No, you're not"
"I'm not?"
"No I'm kidding you. YOU ARE! Congratulations"
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU" she gets up and hugs me tightly. I spin her around and she laughs "You scared the hell out of me" she pouts and I smile at her beautiful face. The Columbus College of Veterinary Medicine is a fallback of course in case she doesn't pursue acting. But there's no way she won't make it into acting school. She's got all the skills. I clap as she makes a cute curtsey but she knows it too. Her dream is to sing and act. And I will help her with whichever way I can find to get what she wants.
The look on her face seems determined and I kiss her cheek making her respond by hugging me tightly. That's my girl… I kiss her nose and she giggles poking my side. Playful Tina is one of the best views in the world.
I meet Mercedes outside the school and as we get in we surprise Kurt hugging him. We get in the choir room and I try not to wink at Tina who's cheering and smiling. Although I do get to see her looking at me, it's not enough. I wish I could hold her hand or hug her or take her dancing with me rather than sitting away from her and just looking at Kitty performing. I sit next to Mr. Schue who high fives me and I watch Tina singing and dancing to the music with Marley. Kitty is doing some… uh ok that was dangerous… and weird. Geez she almost hit me. Well… the choreo is ok but the last part isn't that appropriate I guess.
I clap anyways looking at Mercedes who seems troubled too. Tina is cheering and Kitty announces that Artie got accepted into film school. Then Mercedes steps in, so does Kurt who reveals that Mercedes is here to record her new video clip.
"And Mr. Schue asked me to help choreograph for Regionals" I add and then Tina's angelic voice fills the room.
"I love you Mike" Oh my God. She's declaring? I thought we were going to keep it a secret! "I love all my ex's" Huh? I don't like where this is going…. "But this isn't wonderful news. It's shocking" she looks at me disgusted while I have a frown on my face "Now we need some guy to help us dance? Hash tag: Glee hates girls"
Why would they even consider not accepting her into acting school? I MEAN LOOK AT HER. She is flawless. Never would anyone understand she's actually acting right now.
"And what are you here to lecture us about Kurt? Our horrible taste in clothing?" she asks annoyed. Oh uh. I bite my lip cause I actually know the reason Kurt is here…
"My dad has cancer" answers Kurt and I can see the shock in Tina's face. This is actually my fault… To be honest I should have told her by the time I got informed about it…
"Thanks Tina" says Blaine and I give him a death glare. I don't care if he sees me and understands ok? He has no right. Tina didn't know, he can't blame her.
"Alright" interrupts Mercedes and everybody gets moving. Tina doesn't even glare at me which means I'm in big trouble and this is bad… She's mad at me, she has every right and I screwed up. Damn it.
I don't manage to see her till the very last hour of school. She is alone in a classroom – she skipped class for all it seems – and I get in too being careful so that nobody sees me getting in here.
"Tina" I say but she doesn't look at me or answer "I bet you're really mad and you are right. But…"
"You knew" she gives me a death glare with the corner of her eye "You let me make a fool of myself in front of everybody! Was it amusing to see me embarrass myself like that? Huh? Did you have a good time?"
"What are you talking about Tina? I learned about it this morning"
"And of course you didn't have any precious minute of your time to inform me"
"I didn't know you were going to refer to it"
"Right"
I approach her and try to reason her.
"I am really sorry. I'm sure Kurt will understand"
"Understand what? That my stupid boyfriend forgot to tell me something that important? Oh guess what… We can't say you're my boyfriend"
"You're overdoing it"
"On the other hand my supposed best friend who was the one who should have told me earlier, accused me of making Kurt sad despite the fact that I didn't know the occasion. Thank you very much"
"You should calm down"
"Then you should leave"
Her words hurt me but I know that my new Tina needs peace and quiet to gather herself. In the past she just needed my hug and comforting words. Now she just needs herself. It makes me kinda jealous… The fact that she can deal with things alone when previously that was my job to do. I was the one who was always there to help her. Now what am I? Why am I here? She doesn't need me at all? What do I give her?
What am I?
I get out of the classroom without another word and as I close the door I see her putting her head in her hands. I wish I could console her. But she won't let me. I get a message from Mercedes saying she's gonna go for a coffee with Kurt and Blaine and that I'm invited too. I accept.
"The album is called Hell to the no…" Mercedes goes on about her new single and I look at her raising my eyebrows while thinking of a way to make up for what I did with the whole –Kurt's dad situation- and when she says "Mike knows what I'm talking about right?" I smile and respond.
"I totally know what you mean" signing to the guys that I have 'No idea what she means' making them laugh "Don't worry" I say to Mercedes "I'm all over you. And with what I 've learned at the Joffrey, I've got new moves, so hot you're gonna want to say Hell to the yesssss" I tease her and she's signing 'No' with her finger smiling.
"I'm so glad you guys are back just before Regionals we really need you around" says Blaine.
"You're gonna nail it. No sweat" I respond not full-hearted though. I'm still mad at him for humiliating my Tee in front of everyone else.
"So what's going on between you two? Because it was pretty boy on boy at the wedding" says Mercedes and I smirk.
"We're not together. Um… but it's cool" there's the nervousness. Let's make him a little bit more nervous huh?
"What did I hear that Tina did something to you called the vapo-?"
As inconvenient it is for Tina it is more for Blaine and I know it. It's an old story now, totally forgotten but guess what… Revenge is a cold dish served in front of you based on the past in order to humiliate you in the present. Kurt snaps. Unexpectedly but he does. He is nervous all this time about his dad and I feel sorry for him. I smile as the other comfort him and he seems to feel better. Calmer. So I grab the chance.
"Tina didn't know by the way" I say sipping my coffee.
"What?" he asks an I shrug "I know she didn't know. Nobody knew. Well… except from you guys"
"She's really sad you know. She thinks you are mad at her"
"She didn't know. I don't blame her" Kurt responds and I sigh.
"Well yeah I know it, clearly it wasn't her fault that nobody told her, even though it seemed like you meant it was her fault"
"Nobody accused her" interrupts Blaine and I smile.
"Oh really?" I give him a meaningful look and he finally has the guts to look down and consider his previous actions. I catch Mercedes' eyes that look at me meaningfully but I ignore her.
"Then I guess I have to talk to her and tell her everything is ok" suggests Kurt and I smile.
"That would be great" I agree and change the subject.
"So you talked to Tina?" smiles Mercedes when we're alone and I shrug playing it cool.
"Only for a moment. I saw her alone and I went to ask her if she was ok. She said she was just sad about Kurt's dad. I told her everything's gonna be ok"
"Just that?"
"Yeah… We… uh we don't talk anymore. It's kinda weird and awkward"
"But you care about her. You wouldn't have worried about her otherwise"
"Well yeah I do care but only as a friend. Nothing else. We are done"
"Too bad. And I was hoping for you two to come back together eventually"
"It seems we won't. Anyway…" I try to change the subject. I don't like lying especially to Mercedes who loves us so much but it's for a good purpose.
I don't talk with Tina this day anymore. I send her a 'Good morning' message but she doesn't reply back. I see her again when we all gather to the auditorium. She manages to stand far away from me and nods when Mercedes compliments Marley on her voice. I give Mercedes a maraca to prove her point about breath control but I stay silent. When Mercedes gives the sign, the music starts and we all start dancing. Mercedes dances with Kitty and Tina, then Artie, Kurt, Blaine and me. I don't try to get closer to Tina. I'm giving her space. She seems to enjoy the song cause she's laughing through it.
"Come quickly with me" I listen to Mercedes when Tina catches my eye and I follow her. We talk to Jake about his dancing abilities – and Mercedes takes it a little bit farther in his good looks.
Right after we gather in the choir room. Artie tells me the good news. Kurt's dad doesn't have cancer anymore. When Burt comes in we cheer and Kurt wants to sing a song to him. When the music starts I see Kitty, Marley and Tina stand up. A bright smile appears in my face as I see her smile while she dances. When the song ends we clap and I have this stupid grin on my face when Kurt hugs Tina.
"Someone seems happy" I say when we stay alone in the choir room.
"Someone talked to Kurt and he isn't angry anymore about what I said" she responds biting her lower lip.
"Kurt was never actually angry. But you had to hear it with your own ears from him, didn't you?"
"Yeah I actually did"
"So I see everything is ok again. You danced and sang with Kurt. No problem at all" I say approaching her and she does the same.
"I'm sorry"
"About?"
"About calling you my stupid boyfriend and for snapping at you and being mad when you had already apologized and generally not talking to you or not answering to your texts"
"That's a long list" I point out and she lowers her head "but apology accepted" I put my hands around her waist and she places hers on my chest.
"You know… This song… I sang it to my parents before the shooting some weeks ago"
"I remember"
"Yeah. I gave the idea to Kurt and his dad used to sing to him this song too when he was little so… It was a perfect match"
"I loved the choreography"
"See? Girls know how to do great choreographies too" she teases me and I smile.
"Too bad we have to stick with all the Glee hates girls moto"
"Why?"
"I gotta dance with Jake tomorrow. So be prepared"
"Alright. I'll do my best to look bored"
And she does. Cause when I and Jake start dancing the next day, it looks like Tina is gonna throw up or something. She lifts her head up bored and disturbed. I smile as Jake dances and then everybody cheers.
"This is gonna work. I just wish Mercedes was here to see it. Where is she?" I ask Kurt and we get up to look for her. We find her in the auditorium. She's talking on the phone.
"Who was that?" I ask and she looks really angry.
"Just my useless quote on quote producer"
"I thought you liked him" I say confused and she shakes her head.
"I did. When we were in the studio" she explains the situation and adds that they won't release her album unless she agrees for another photo shoot showing more skin.
"What? Screw him" I say and she quotes her producer's words saying they might use another girl's picture.
"On your cd? The one that you're singing on? Oh hell to the no" says Kurt and I nod.
"They don't want me. They just want my voice not my whole person" she complains and goes away. I look at Kurt.
"What are we gonna do?" I ask him and he shrugs.
"Nothing I guess. It's her decision. We' re just gonna be there to support her whatever this decision is"
"Is everything ok?" I sense Tina's hands hug me from behind and I smile.
"No" I say and turn around to touch my lips on hers. We stay like that for a while and she looks me in the eyes. She doesn't need to ask me. I tell her what's actually going on with Mercedes.
"That's awful. I'm sure Mercedes will take the right decision though"
"I really hope so" I kiss her hair and she buries her head in my chest.
The next day I get in the choir room with Mercedes and Kurt. I see Tina sitting next to Blaine. Yesterday she told me that he apologized to her as well so they are friends again. Good for him.
Mercedes starts talking about "This crazy ass business we're all going to get to"
"If you're gonna tell us to not even try cause it's too hard…" says Tina but Mercedes interrupts her.
"No, no, I'm just saying be ready"
As Mercedes explains about her record I hand everyone the cds. I take a risk to smile at Tina and she smiles back. Then Mercedes starts singing Higher Ground and we all cheer. She throws her jacket at Kurt and we all clap and shout and then I get up to dance with her. The performance ends and I get up to hug her tightly and so does everybody else. Tina winks at me when no one can see us and I grin at her.
"I just wish I could hold you like we did back then when everybody was performing and we would lose ourselves in our own world" she says the same day while we're lying on my bed.
"And I would play with your fingers and your hair"
"And I would lock my fingers with yours or I would whisper lowly in your ear that I love you"
"Mmm I miss that" I smile and she turns her head to look at me then approaches my ear and with her soft lips whispers 'I love you'
I kiss her passionately making her giggle and then I put on the music to dance to all the songs we didn't have the chance to dance together. We collapse on the bed laughing and Tina kisses me. She sleeps in my house that night.
The next day we review what the new Directions are gonna do for Regionals and when we all get out of the choir room to get ready for the number Artie has prepared in the auditorium I kiss Tina's cheek quickly so that no one can see us and from the corner of my eye I see her grinning.
We all change to white, orange and yellow colors. Tina is looking so cute in her orange dress and we all dance and sing to the song. I, Mercedes, Kurt and Mr. Schue get up to join the New Directions and for the first time in a recent choreography I stay quite close to Tina.
"That was wonderful" I say when we reach her home.
"You are wonderful" she kisses me and we reach her bedroom. When she throws me on her bed I raise my eyebrows while laughing.
"You're turning wild. Should I be afraid?"
She doesn't answer me so I just let myself get drown in the sea of her kisses.
Tadaaaaa. Remember! Next update is gonna be after 19th August!
