PROMPT: Don't imagine Chloe being all upset one night and Beca goes to comfort Chloe by holding her and singing but she accidentally sings a sad song and makes Chloe cry even more
Becca was softly humming to herself as she leisurely strolled towards her girlfriend's dorm room but froze as sounds of muffled heart-wrenching sobs and wailing reached her ears just five steps shy from the threshold. It took her a split second to hustle and barge in the apartment.
"Chloe! Babe! Are you okay? What's wrong?" She rushed in the darkened living room, finding her girlfriend on the carpeted floor surrounded by books and papers, clutching ripped papers and mascara running down her cheeks, weeping to no end.
"Babe? Oh honey…Hey…hey, tell me what's wrong." Becca kneeled down and gathered the lamenting girl in her arms.
"I…." Chloe choked and hiccupped, looking up at Becca in the most pitiful puppy dog eyes anyone has ever seen. "I….Oh Becca!" she wailed.
"It's okay… take your time." Becca crooned, rubbing soothing circles on the sniveling girl's back. Perplexed at why her girlfriend was bawling her eyes out on the floor so hard that she couldn't even from a coherent sentence, Becca was already assuming the worst.
Did someone die? Aubrey? Nah, Aubrey just texted their grueling training plan just 15 minutes ago. A family member? No, no, better not jump into any conclusions. Better be as comforting and sympathetic as possible. That's the plan. Yes.
Becca nodded in affirmation to her own thoughts as she continued to hold her partner who was clutching to her as though drowning.
When Chloe's cries have died down to little keens and hiccups, Becca dared to whisper the first thing that popped into her mind.
"Babe, would you like a song? Would that make you feel better? Do you want me to sing to you?"
Chloe gave a little nod, burying her face in Becca's shirt sleeve.
"Uhm, okay…here goes."
Anywhere you are, I am near How every single promise I'll keep What are words What are words When it's love
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
'Cause what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
If they're only for good times
Then that's all
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, they never go away
They live on, even when we're go-
Before Becca could sing the last word of the first chorus, Chloe broke out into loud laments similar to a puppy getting kicked. "BecccaaaaAAAAaaaa….!" She wailed.
"Baby what's wrong? Chlo-bear honey-sugar-dumpling, no…no,no, no…don't cry…" laying the pet names on too thick, Becca frantically trying to stop her berieved lover.
Chloe cried harder, her face starting to go as red as her hair.
"Okay, okay, not that song—alright. Come on- deep breathes…" becca murmured into her lover's hair, hugging her tightly.
They stayed in each other's arms for what seemed like forever that becca unciously started rocking and humming Lillium which stuck to her though she only heard it once in a music box. She felt Chloe stir from the hug, who calmed down a few minutes ago and Becca knew the said girl was getting drowsy. Becca smiled softly and shifted to lean back on the couch's welt so Chloe could rest her head on her lap. Thank God the floor was carpeted with lush matting.
Before Chloe droppedoff to sleep though, she managed to croak out;
"I failed Russian literature again…."
Becca blinked once, twice…
"WHAT?"
