DISCLAIMER: I don't own pitch perfect!
An hour later Bree was on her way from the car to the front door of their apartment building when her phone rang. She was feeling funny, like something bad going to happen but she shrugged it off and fished out her cell. It was an unknown number so she picked it up in her business voice. "Aubrey Posen speaking."
"Miss Posen, it is Lydia, the nurse taking care of Beca. I need to inform you of a young male who came in earlier looking for you, he has been arrested for two counts of assault against Beca and the young red head who was with you. They are both asking for you. We would have called earlier but we were worried about Miss Beale, it took us 45 minutes before she woke up and another 10 minutes before we could get her calm enough to see the damage cause by the young man." The nurse on the other end of the phone sounded as if she was about to cry.
"SHIT!" Bree yelled as she kicked the fire escape sending excruciating pain flying through her leg. "Sorry I am on my way back now" Bree said to the nurse, limping to her car. Her leg hurt a hell of a lot and she knew she had probably done some damage and that Chloe and Beca would be mad but all she could think about was getting back to her girls right now.
10 minutes and two mass texts later, Bree was back at the hospital, the Bellas had been informed and a few were on their way and the Trebles had been informed of the incident and were under strict instruction to stay away, apart from Donald and Benji. Bree ran to were Beca was being kept and found Lydia at the nurses' station.
"Hi, were are they?" Bree gulped for air like she had just run a marathon.
"Over here, before we go in I must warn you that Beca was still rather traumatized the last time I saw her. We are hoping you can help her. Miss Beale is stable, extensive bruising is apparent around both of their necks and Chloe wouldn't look anyone in the eye apart from Beca until you were called but she is getting better, again we are hoping you can help. She hasn't got concussion or any form of head injury that could be fatal but we are going to keep them both in 50" Lydia replied quietly.
"Please I just have to see them." Aubrey said a little louder and more pleadingly. Bree's leg began to really hurt and walking normally became too difficult so she went back to liming.
"You're limping. What happened?" Lydia asked Bree cautiously.
"I kicked something very solid and metal when you told me about the young man that came in here." Bree relied taking a new interest in the floor.
"Why?"
"Because I could have stopped both of them from getting hurt. I think the young man you were talking about is Jesse, Jesse Swanson, and he has been perusing Beca since the beginning of Beca's freshman year at Barden. He has been relentless and when the three of us got together he wouldn't accept that Beca was off the market so he tried harder and harder until today obviously when he just lost it. She hasn't seen him one to one in a year and 3 and a half months now." Bree said with tears making their way triumphantly down her pale cheeks.
"Oh sweetie, it isn't your fault." The nurse said
"Yeah don't blame yourself Bree." A small familiar voice came from behind her.
"Beca?"
"Yes Bree?"
"You're okay?"
"Always Bree."
Bree turned around and flung herself at Beca. "You're okay" she said in Beca's ear, still holding her close.
"Yeah I am and so is Chloe. She's asking for you again." Beca said not letting go of Bree.
"I am so sorry. I should have stopped him" Sobs racked Bree's body.
"Bree. Look at me. There is nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing you could do. Alight? Trust me on this when I say it really isn't your fault. Come on, let's go see Chloe." Bree followed Beca, gripping her hand for dear life. "Bree why are you limping?"
"You have your back to me, how did you even know?" To stunned to even remember to deny anything.
"Cause Bree I know you, also when you step on one of your feet, guessing the right seeing as you are swaying slightly to the right, you grip my hand slightly tighter."
"Sorry"
"What did you kick?"
"Nothing."
"Bree?" Came with a tone of severe warning from the brunette whose hand tightened slightly in Aubrey's.
"Okay I kicked the fire escape when I was told what had happened after I left." She said quietly, ashamed of her lack of usual level headedness.
"Hey it's okay, Chloe is fine. I am fine. You are going to be fine but would you consider me giving you a piggy back to the room?" Beca said with a small smile on her face.
"Nope. Not a chance. This is a hospital and your arm will hurt."
"Come on you know you want to. Plus my arm is fine I had codeine a while ago and it works wonders. I will put you down if it hurts too much. I promise."
"Okay but if you hurt yourself don't blame me."
"Here we go!" Bree climbed carefully on to Beca's back, watching her arm carefully, wincing in pain before Beca sped towards Chloe's room.
"Dear god Beca this is a hospital, not a playground. PUT HER DOWN!" Chloe whisper yelled at her two annoying but admittedly adorable pair of girlfriends.
"Sorry but no can do. She kicked the fire escape when she heard about you and hurt her leg, so now I in need to get her a chair, watch her for a minute."
"I am here you know"
"We know" Chloe and Beca said in unison before Beca swiftly exited the room to find her blonde girlfriend a chair. She also had to find Stacie to ask her for a huge favour.
"You kicked a fire escape." Chloe when Beca had left to go get Bree a chair. The humour was evident even without the visual of Chloe's facial expression.
"Shut up" Bree said to Chloe
"Are you okay?" Chloe replied to Aubrey out of genuine concern.
"Nope not really but at the moment I think I am doing better than both you and Beca." Bree whispered, looking in a pair of turquoise blue eyes, as salty drops made their way, triumphantly, down her cheeks.
"Hey I just wanted to make sure that you were okay and I knew the only way for them to get you was to scare them into thinking I was going through some sort of breakdown, hence my reaction to everyone who came near me. That way I would get to see you quicker." Chloe said, smirk planted firmly on her face. Bree slapped her gently on the arm. "OW! What was that for?" Chloe asked, rubbing the now slightly sore patch on her arm, over dramatically, feigning pain.
"That was for scaring me for no apparent reason. And this" Slap! "Is for using you knowledge of how the nurses work to your own advantage. And finally this is for me being thankful that you are okay." Bree took Chloe's face in both hands and kissed her hard. She pulled away leaving a slightly breathless Chloe and a faster beeping from Chloe's heart monitor.
Chloe looked from Aubrey to Beca when the brunette had come back into her room and closed the door. Bree skilfully dodged the masses of meticulous cables, none overlapping any other wire, and carefully layed down on the bed next to her. "As a doctor I disapprove highly of this you know." Chloe whispered.
"And as your girlfriend I am not getting out of this bed until we leave here." Bree said back to Chloe, her face still buried in the red locks of her girlfriend. Beca set the chair next to the hospital bed and turned to leave her girlfriends to have some alone time seeing as she had been with Chloe since the incident involving Jesse.
"Where do you think you're going?" The voice of the now drowsy Chloe.
"I was just going to give you two some alone time while I go get something for all of us to eat and send the Bellas out on different missions. Also Stacie is really itching to talk with me about something." Beca whispered noticing that their adorable blonde girlfriend was now asleep, curled up in Chloe's arms.
"Okay I love you babe" Chloe whispered back, her words slightly slurring due to lack of sleep mixed with the pain medication the hospital gave her.
"Bye baby, I love you too. Get some sleep sweetie and I will be back before you know it." Beca stroked the soft, red locks beneath her hand and gently kissed the top of Chloe's head before kissing Bree on the cheek, brushing the back of her knuckles across the blonds cheek letting her hand linger while she admired both goddesses that she was lucky enough to be able to call her girlfriends. She quickly left the room, looking back before closing the door quietly. She momentarily stopped to talk to Lydia about Aubrey's leg, being promised it would be looked at by a doctor or nurse with in the half hour. She left the ward and went in search of the café on the ground floor where she was meeting Stacie.
