It was hard. Being friends with Chloe Beale. Especially when she is constantly touching you and flirting with you. But even though she threw you winks, and gave you small kisses on the cheek, she was still with that dumb prick Tom. All you wanted to do was tell Aubrey to unleash her wolves at him. But as cliché as it sounds, you want Chloe to be happy because you love her that much. And if being with self-centered Tom makes her happy, then so be it.
You were walking back from your most hated class, philosophy, when you saw her screaming at Tom. Inside yourself, you could feel yourself giving yourself a mental high five and smiling more than ever. Your happiness was short lived thanks to Kimmy Jin and her asian group.
The next day when you arrived at Bella's rehearsal five minutes late, much to Aubrey's dismay, you instantly acknowledged that a bubbly redhead was missing. You made a mental note to ask the uptight blonde what happened even though you had a feeling it had something to do with Chloe screaming at Tom. As the last Bella left the room you walked over to Aubrey.
"If this is about you wanting to change the set list you might as well leave." The blonde said with annoyance in her voice.
"It's not. Where's Chloe?"
"Oh she uh broke up with Tom. She's pretty upset at him, though I'm not sure why." The leader softened as she saw Beca relaxed at the thought that Chloe hadn't been hurt. "She probably won't mind if you swing by and say hi." There was a silence before Beca said her goodbye and left with the intention of cheering up the redhead.
A soft knock woke the redhead up. She hoped it wasn't Tom, but when Beca greeted her at the door she forgot all the bitter thoughts and hugged the brunette.
"What are you doing here?" Chloe said with a smile.
"Nothing much. You ok?" The redhead could hear the concern in the DJ's voice.
"Never better." Chloe lied, even though she knew it was hopeless as she saw the brunette quirk an eyebrow.
"I don't think so Beale. You wouldn't have gotten out of rehearsals if you were fine. Aubrey would have hunted you down and dragged you to rehearsals." Sensing the hesitation in the redhead's eyes, the brunette walked them both over to the bed.
"Seriously Chloe, I'm here for you. What's wrong?" The petite brunette pushed softly.
"He left me. He said that he knew I had feelings for another girl and that it was gross." Even though Beca could feel her heart breaking knowing that Chloe had feelings for another girl, she still stayed in the position. Even though her head told her to run away from the redhead and escape the pain, she always listened to her mom. And her mom always said follow your heart. Right now the only thing her heart said was "You love her enough to let her go." The brunette softly whispered into the redhead's ear sweet nothings as she fell asleep in the DJ's arms.
The next week Beca ran into Chloe at the local Starbucks. They decided to sit down and catch up, seeing as Chloe was busy with graduation stuff and Beca was becoming bigger as the campus' radio host.
"Hey Chloe! What's going on?"
"Nothing much. I'm still preparing for graduation and I think I'm ready to tell my crush how I feel." The redhead decided that she would tell Beca how she felt at the Bella's party for the two seniors. She had found an apartment fifteen minutes away from the campus. Even better, it was ten minutes away from the office she was working at.
"That's great Chlo, I'm happy for you." The brunette said with an unreadable expression and sadness in her voice. However, the redhead didn't think anything of it. When they finished their coffees they bid each other farewell before separating in different directions. Beca, to the Baker Hall showers to try to get over her feelings for the redhead by bawling. Chloe, to her room to continue prepping for ways to ask the petite brunette to be her girlfriend.
When the party arrived, Chloe had noticed that Beca was avoiding her and could not think of any reasons on earth why she was. She finally noticed the brunette by herself and decided to corner her.
"What the hell Beca?! I've done nothing this past week trying to contact you but you never called or texted back! Did I do something wrong?"
"No, of course not Chloe."
"Then why have you been avoiding me?" Chloe's voice reached a volume that Beca didn't know existed. For some reason this made the pent up anger in the tiny brunette to finally be unleashed.
"Why am I avoiding you? Are you really that blind that you can't see? I've been obsessed with you since I saw you at the activities fair. I gave you hints that I liked you. You returned them. For once I felt special! But apparently you were leading me on. You flirted back at me and then ran off to that dumb prick Tom! So excuse me for avoiding you! The brunette screeched before leaving the party and a guilty redhead behind.
