"Do you believe in the afterlife?"

It wasn't unusual for Chloe to ask such questions as she lie awake at night. Her mind always thinking of questions most people wouldn't want to ask. Always so curious of the world and beyond it.

"What?"

Beca though, was always caught off guard when any question of the sort was asked. She didn't care to ask about what she could never truly know the answer for.

"The afterlife. What happens when you die. Do you think you go to Heaven or do you just aimlessly wander around the world. Searching for something."

Beca hadn't really thought too much into about what would happen after she died apart from how it would affect the people in her life. How the end of her life would massively change the life of everyone around her.

"I don't know Chlo. I never really thought about it."

It was the truth. She knew Chloe had an answer of her own belief. She wouldn't have brought it up if she hadn't thought of it before. Most nights Beca had an answer and explanation for Chloe, having thought of the question before herself. On nights like tonight, she opted to just let Chloe speak. Form an answer while listening to chime in at the end with.

"I think we get reborn. Our soul, entity, whatever it is that binds us to our bodies, leaves our dying one and enters a new one. Over and over again we will enter a new body and live our lives to the end. Only to start anew as someone else. Our memories, feelings, achievments, everything we did as one person fades away as we begin again. We will never know of the person we once were. As beautiful as it is to think about, never truly dead or gone it's really scary."

By now Beca had turned fully onto her side, staring at Chloe as she looked to the cieling too deep in thought to notice the eyes upon her.

"Why do you think it's scary?"

Beca didn't know what answer she was expecting. She knew this conversation was more than a passing moment. It had turned into something more than random midnight thoughts. She held her breathe waiting for the answer.

"I'll have forgotten you. Every moment we've ever shared. Every laugh, smile, and kiss. Wherever I go next I won't have you with me. I could have gone through a million lives without you, but now that you're here I don't ever want to live another without you. Knowing everything we've made together will be something I never be apart of again is the scariest thing I could ever imagine."

Somewhere during her response Chloe had shifted to look directly at Beca. Both staring in each others eyes, the soft lull of the night washing over them, Chloe continues.

"Whatever life we live after we die, I'm glad I met you in this one. So I can still remember everything about us. It's scary to think I won't have you with me in my next life, but us being here now, together. It gives me hope that someday, somehow, I'll have another life with you in it."

Both Beca and Chloe had begun to cry. What had started as an innocent question turned into something much greater. An emotion neither could describe, but both felt from deep within.

"I'll find you."

Chloe hadn't expected that from Beca. She had expected an "I love you" followed by a "goodnight" shortly after, having believed that she had ended the conversation for the night.

"Wherever we end up after this life, in whatever body or whatever place. I will find you. You and I are forever and I'm not gonna let something like rebirth stop us from being together. We won't be Beca and Chloe anymore, but we will always be together."

Beca never answered Chloe on her thoughts about the afterlife. It wasn't something seriously discussed again. But bewteen you and her, she didn't care where she went after. As long as she was with Chloe, she was exactly where she was supposed to be.
