Boarded flight but disembarked before takeoff due to delays: mileage credit?

I booked a 2-segment trip, and the trip occurred a few days ago. I boarded the first flight, but it was delayed for 2 1/2 hours due to weather. The FAs let people get off if they wanted to see about alternative routings, so I got off, was rebooked on a flight from another airport, drove quickly to the airport, took the new flight, and arrived home. I received miles for the new flight, but not the first flight that I originally boarded but then left. So instead of getting credit for 2 segments, I got credit only for 1.

If I ask for the miles for the first flight, will I get them?

Thanks.
