Chapter Two
Beca craned her stiff neck towards the clock by her desk and her eyes widened.
"2am?! I could've sworn I just started working on this mix half an hour ago." Beca mumbled to herself.
She went to her cupboard to grab some clothes as she headed towards the common bathrooms for a quick shower. Figuring it's way past midnight, she didn't expect anyone to be in the showers right now. She started singing her favorite song as she walked towards the showers.
You shout it out, but if can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet
Shoot me down but I get up
Beca entered the nearest cubicle and removed her robe before stepping on to the cold bare tiles of the cubicle. She quickly turned the warm water on before stepping under the cascading water as she continued to sing.
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire aw-
Beca cut herself off as she heard someone choke a sob from the cubicle opposite hers. She didn't even realize that there was someone else in the bathrooms. Beca quickly shut the running water off and slowly drew her shower curtains open as she grabbed her towel and padded softly over to the opposite cubicle.
The sobbing stopped quickly, but Beca continued making her way there slowly.
"Um hello?" Beca spoke softly as she touched the cubicle curtains haltingly. She didn't like people invading her personal space, in fact, she hated it. But something about that sob made her push her insecurities away and let her curiosity take over.
"Are you okay?" Beca whispered. "Can I come in?"
"No!" A strong objection came from the other side of the curtain almost immediately. Beca recognized that voice. That same voice that had been in her head since that afternoon's activity fair. The person in that cubicle was Chloe. Beca was sure.
Beca pulled the curtain away and was shocked to find the redhead, huddling in the furthest corner of the cubicle. Chloe's hair splayed across her bare shoulders, her arms wrapping tightly around her knees which were brought to her chest. Her body shook uncontrollably as she whimpered a soft, almost inaudible 'go away'.
Beca felt her heart ache physically upon seeing Chloe being so vulnerable and small. She let her instinct take over as she knelt down next to the redhead and brought her arms around the shivering girl. Chloe jumped at the contact and tried moving away, but failed as Beca tightened her grip around Chloe.
"Let me go!" Chloe whimpered as she struggled feebly against Beca's arms.
"Chloe, it's me. Chlo stop!" Beca hugged the redhead tighter. Upon hearing her voice, Chloe stopped thrashing around, instead, she tried to turn away and pushed Beca towards the door of her cubicle.
"Beca please go away. Please go." Chloe cried out loud as she realized who the person was. Beca refused to budge even when Chloe landed a wild punch on her arm. Beca winced but held on to Chloe, refusing to let go.
"Why won't you go, yo...you can't see me like this." Chloe whispered so quietly Beca had to strain her ears to hear it.
"Chlo, shhh." Beca cooed as she gently stroked Chloe's flaming red hair, never once letting Chloe out of her arms. Chloe's sobs wracked her body as Beca hugged her tighter. Chloe allowed Beca to hold her as she cried uncontrollably.
Beca saw red marks and lines all over Chloe's thighs and back, but decided to ask her later. Instead, she quietly said, "Let's get dressed then I'll take you back to your dorm?"
Chloe nodded acutely and Beca left the cubicle to change into her clothes before going back again to get Chloe.
"Let's go." Beca's hand twitched at her side as she finally decided to hold Chloe's hand. She felt a smile creep on to her face as Chloe grabbed Beca's arm and hugged it close to her chest.
"Where's your dorm at?" Beca asked, nudging Chloe gently.
Chloe glanced nervously at Beca before opening her mouth to speak.
"Could...could I maybe... Could you may...maybe um let me stay at you...your dorm tonight? Ple...please?" Chloe whimpered helplessly as she clutched Beca's arm tightly, refusing to let go. Beca felt her heart tighten as she looked at Chloe. That usually cheerful front Chloe put up during the days were gone by night. Beca found herself staring at Chloe's eyes as they took her to another world.
Beca's lack of response made Chloe bite her tongue as she reprimanded herself, feeling dejected and hurt
"I mean I'm sor...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say tha...that. I could just go back myself now. " Chloe quickly spoke as she let go of Beca's arm. Chloe scolded herself inwardly.
What is she going to think of you now?! Why are you so stupid?!
Beca snapped out of her thoughts as she laced her fingers with Chloe's before pulling Chloe back to her side.
"Let's go back to my dorm then." Beca said with a warm smile.
Chloe, grateful for that little amount of contact with Beca again, allowed herself a tiny smile as she followed Beca back to her dorm.
Beca dumped her shower items back into her drawers as she pulled a chair out for Chloe to place hers down. She let go of Chloe's hand and Chloe almost cried out at the lost of contact. Sensing Chloe's distress, Beca quickly latched herself back at Chloe's side and sat Chloe down on her bed.
"I'll sleep on the sofa tonight. You can have the bed." Beca spoke quietly, before realizing that her roommate, Kimmy Jin was out.
Chloe had no energy to protest as she lay down on Beca's bed. She felt alone and cold, as usual. Curling into a tight ball, she attempted closing her eyes, but she found herself unable to fall asleep.
"Beca?" Chloe whispered.
"Hmm?" Came the muffled reply.
"Could you maybe hug me I mean it's okay why am I even asking sorry go back to sleep sorry I didn't mean to disturb you I just-"
Chloe got cut off as she felt a pair of arms wrap around her and the bed dipping towards the outer side. She turned around slowly as she unfurled herself, and found Beca staring intently at her.
"Go to sleep, Chloe." Beca said as she hugged Chloe to her chest, stroking down Chloe's back.
Chloe cuddled into Beca and draped her arm across Beca's stomach.
"Becs, you can sing." Chloe mumbled softly into Beca's collarbone as she drifted into sleep.
Beca just continued stroking Chloe's back as she fell asleep to Chloe's gentle breathing, wondering how this redhead managed to break pass her personal space rule.
