A/N: I couldn't leave this on just a one shot so here's part 2! I'm still not sure how many parts there are going to be, but I hope you like this part!
"I don't know where to take her, Jess," Beca sighed as she scrolled through her laptop. She and Jesse were supposed to be working on a track but she was too busy trying to figure out where to take Chloe on their date.
"Well normally people go to movies on first dates but..." Jesse started with a smirk.
"Will you stop being such a douche, holy shit," Beca said, rolling her eyes. "Seriously, I want to make it special for her."
"Take her roller skating," Jesse shrugged.
"I don't know if she can, I want to find something that won't be a struggle for her," Beca said. "Should I take her to a concert?"
"Yeah," Jesse said. "So she can't see anything?"
"She can see light a little bit, but that's about it. She goes to laser therapy to try to regain some vision." Beca smiled. "She's so sweet though, I've never fallen in love with a girl so quickly." She anxiously shifted in her seat and continued scrolling through her laptop. "I don't know what music she likes."
"Are you picking her up?"
"Yeah, she can't drive, obviously, and she still lives at home so I get to meet her parents too," Beca said. "I'll take her to James Bay," Beca said. "And then I have to find a restaurant that allows service dogs."
"I think all places allow it," Jesse said. "She had you buy her coffee, right?"
"Yeah, I think she's just really shy and doesn't want to draw a ton of attention to herself. She asked me to find that shirt for her in the cutest way, she was so nervous." Beca smiled. "She's so fucking cute."
"Can we focus please? This deadline is next week and you're so lovestruck that you won't stop smiling, it's weird." Jesse rolled his eyes.
"Fine, I'm sorry, it's just I've never been this in love before," Beca said with a laugh. She slipped her headphones over her ears and started working on the track.
Beca got out of her car and anxiously walked up to Chloe's house. She knocked on the door and a boy that looked to be about 17 answered it. "Hey, you must be Beca, I'm Chloe's brother Zach."
"Hey, it's nice to meet you," Beca said."
"My mom is upstairs helping Chloe with her hair, they'll be down in a minute," he said. "Do you want something to drink? We have coffee, water, iced tea-"
"I'm ok, thanks though," Beca said.
"It's pretty cool that you want to date my sister, no ones really been interested in her since she lost her vision," Zach said.
"She's so sweet, I don't know why people are like that," Beca said.
"I was only 14 when she got in the accident and she was 22, but I seriously protected her like an older brother would. I'm so glad she's less vulnerable now."
"Aww that's sweet," Beca smiled. Chloe and Storm walked down the stairs and Beca stood up from the couch and slowly walked over to her.
"Hey Chlo," She said warily as she gave the redhead a hug.
"Hi!" Chloe said.
"You look so nice!" Beca smiled.
"Aw thanks, I'm sure you do too," Chloe said. "Oh so you've already met Zach, but this is my mom Cindy. My dad's away on business," she said.
"Hi," Beca said with a smile. "I'm Beca."
"Hi, it's so nice to meet you!" Cindy said, shaking the short brunette's hand.
"Alright mom, we should get going," Chloe said.
"You'll call me if you need anything?" Cindy asked.
"Of course mom, love you," Chloe said. They got outside and Beca led Chloe to the car. Storm helped her find the door handle and safely get in and he climbed to the back seat. "I just remembered, I never paid you for that coffee a few days ago. How much was it?"
"Oh, don't worry about it," Beca said. "You wanna know where I'm taking you?"
"Yes!" Chloe said excitedly.
"Well I'm taking you to a James Bay concert and then we can go out to eat but I wanted you to pick the place."
"Oh I love James Bay! And hmm, I'll have to think about it," Chloe said. "You said you'd play me some of the music you've produced?"
"Oh, right!" Beca said. "I even made a playlist." She plugged her phone in and the music went on shuffle play.
"Oh my god, this is amazing," Chloe said.
Beca smiled and gently rubbed Chloe's arm which made her flinch a little. "Oh shit, sorry," Beca said.
"No, it's not you," Chloe said. "My senses besides my sight are really strong to make up for the lack of it, so everything kinda puts me on edge."
"Oh, I get it," Beca said. "Well I mean I don't get it, but...you know."
"Yeah, I understand," Chloe smiled. "What did you think of my brother?"
"He seems really nice, he's definitely protective of you, that must be nice to have," Beca said.
"He really is," Chloe said with a laugh. "When I was still getting used to everything, he went everywhere with me and took me out so I could get used to things, and he held onto me and showed me where to go, it was so sweet. And he was like 14 too. I don't think he hung out with his friends once that entire year. I remember one time he had a friend come over to work on a project and I just remember him saying 'sorry I can't go out on Friday, I want to take my sister to the mall,' and I actually started crying because he didn't even say he had to, he wanted to."
"Aww that's so sweet," Beca said. "So tell me what some ideal dates would be because I'm hoping we get to go on more and I want to make sure you'll be able to enjoy it."
"I can really do anything that doesn't really involve a ton of physical work because one of my seizure triggers is a fast heart rate, but like even movies are fine. The theater I go to has special headphones with audio descriptions. Honestly, I'm just the same as everyone else and I can do pretty much the same things."
"Do you ever feel like you're missing out?" Beca asked.
"Oh all the time," Chloe said. "It's easy for people who were born with it, they've never known any different. I know colors and I know what things look like which makes it easier to picture things, but it's harder to go without it."
"That must be awful," Beca said sadly.
"It's ok, I've gotten used to it," Chloe shrugged. "Oh wait, why are we stopped?" She asked as the car rolled to a stop.
"I'm paying for parking," Beca said. "I'm really sorry, it was so last minute that the seats are pretty crappy."
"Hey it's ok, I can't see him anyway," Chloe said with a laugh.
"Right, sorry," Beca said. She pulled into a parking spot and turned off the car. "Alright we're here."
"Oh I know," Chloe said, taking a minute to feel around for the door handle before opening it. "Come on Storm!" She said as the dog jumped out of the car and allowed her to grab his harness.
"Sorry, I'm really bad at this, you probably think I'm an idiot," Beca said with a sigh.
"I think you're the nicest girl I've ever gone out with," Chloe said. "And don't worry, I know it takes some getting used to, and I'm more than ok with that."
"Can we hold hands?" Beca asked nervously.
"Yeah, of course," Chloe said with a smile, reaching out to grab Beca's hand.
"So do you have any family with disabilities or are you just amazingly good at being a decent person versus the rest of the world?" Chloe asked with a laugh.
"I have a younger cousin who has a spinal disease and has been in a wheelchair her entire life but that's about it," Beca shrugged. "I just think everyone should be respected and loved and given a chance."
"You're amazing," Chloe said with a smile.
"Alright, I'm gonna give them the tickets and then we have to go through security," Beca said.
Chloe nodded and Storm led her through security and back to Beca. "Alright, lead us to the seats m'lady," she said, holding her hand out for Beca.
Beca took it and walked them to their seats. "Do you want a beer or something?" She asked.
"Oh no I'm ok, alcohol makes the side affects of my meds go crazy," Chloe said with a laugh.
"Alright," Beca said. "Oh I've been meaning to ask, do you have an Instagram?"
"Yeah, its chloeb90," Chloe said. "I don't really post a ton because I have to ask people to help me and I don't like doing that."
Beca pulled out her phone and looked up Chloe's accounts. "Are these your eyes?" Beca asked, without realizing she couldn't show Chloe the picture."
"How long ago was it?" Chloe asked.
"3 years?"
"Oh that was probably one of the last ones I took before the accident," Chloe replied.
"Your eyes are beautiful," Beca said softly, squeezing Chloe's hand.
"Aw, thank you," Chloe smiled.
"What are all these videos?"
"Oh...those are me singing," Chloe said hesitantly.
Beca clicked on one of the videos and turned up the volume on her phone. "These sound amazing Chloe, wow!"
"No way, they're awful," Chloe shook her head. "It's just something I still can do normally so I enjoy it."
"These are so good!" Beca said. "Did you do theatre as a kid?"
"No, I was in an acapella group my first 3 years of college and part of my senior year until my accident," Chloe said.
"We should start a YouTube channel! I sing too," Beca said.
"I'm better at playing piano than I am singing."
"You play piano?"
"Yeah, I learned when I was a kid, it's something that sticks with you," Chloe explained.
"Yeah I get it, I play guitar," Beca said.
"That's so cool!" Chloe said.
The concert had ended and Chloe and Beca were holding hands walking back to the car. "So, where did you decide on dinner?" Beca asked as she unlocked the car and opened the door for Chloe.
"Can we go to that fondue restaurant?" Chloe asked.
"Oh yeah! I love that place," Beca said.
"It's really embarrassing, it's like a sensory thing for me," Chloe said anxiously.
"Oh my god, no," Beca said. "Chloe it's fine, don't worry," she said as she started the car. "Whatever you need is fine. I want you to be comfortable."
"Thank you," Chloe sighed. "This is new to both of us and you're handling it really well. Sorry I'm being so high maintenance."
"You're not," Beca said reassuringly.
"The concert was amazing, thank you so much," Chloe said.
"Oh you don't have to thank me, it was a date," Beca said. "So are you still close with people from college?"
"Yeah, I'm still close with my friend Aubrey," Chloe said. "She's super protective of me and really only hangs out at my house because she worried about my safety when I'm going out. We've gone on walks and stuff before but that's about it."
"At least she's still there for you," Beca shrugged. "It seems like a lot of people left you in your life and that's really shitty."
"Yeah, she's nice to have around," Chloe said. "We just sit and read or we'll play music. Oh and she proofreads everything I write before I send it to my editor," she laughed.
"That must be nice," Beca said.
"It is," Chloe smiled.
Beca pulled into the parking lot and parked the car. They went inside and walked up to the host. "Hi, can we get a table for 2?" She asked.
"And can I get a Braille menu?" Chloe asked.
"Yes," the host said, she led them to a table and Beca sat down across from Chloe.
"Last time I came here I got like this cheese fondue and then a chocolate one for dessert," Beca said.
"Me too!" Chloe replied. "This is super embarrassing but can you lead my hand to the drink section of the menu?" She asked.
"Yeah, of course," Beca said. "She gently held Chloe's hand and found the place on the menu. "Is that it? I don't really know if it's the same as my menu?"
"Yeah this is it, thanks Beca," she smiled.
"Hey Chloe, would you maybe want to be my girlfriend?" Beca asked nervously.
"Yes! of course!" Chloe smiled.
"So tell me how it went!" Cindy said as she handed Chloe a glass of water and sat down on the couch next to her.
"Oh my gosh, it was amazing," Chloe said. "She's so sweet, I've never met anyone as considerate as her."
"But is there gonna be a second date?" Zach asked.
"Oh hey, I thought you were upstairs," Chloe said with a laugh. And yes! She asked me to be her girlfriend," she said happily.
"Oh my god! That's so great Chloe, I'm so happy for you," Cindy said.
"Mom, what does she look like? I'm not picturing her like she said she is. Does that make me horrible?" She asked sadly.
"No, that makes you blind, which your are," Cindy said. "She's pretty short, I'd say maybe this much shorter than you," she said, taking Chloe hands and moving them about 2 inches apart from each other. "She has a really nice smile, her eyes light up when she looks at you."
"She sounds beautiful," Chloe said, barely above a whisper. "What about her eyes?"
"Dark blue, almost navy," Zach said.
"What was she wearing?"
"A black romper and a gold necklace with grey converse," Cindy said. "Her hair was in a long, straight ponytail."
"Oh my gosh, she's so cute," Chloe said. "I wish I could see her and tell her how beautiful she is."
"You're going to be able to, the laser therapy has been working," Zach said. "It's just gonna take time."
"I just hope she's willing to wait around that long," Chloe sighed.
"I think she will be, it seems like she really likes you," Zach said reassuringly.
"Good," Chloe smiled. "I'm gonna go get ready for bed. Goodnight guys, love you."
"Alright Chlo, goodnight," Cindy said.
"Love you too," Zach said.
Chloe went to bed that night happier than she had been in years. She couldn't believe she finally had a girlfriend.
