Sick Beca: Part 2
"Alright ladies! That's it for today."
Chloe breathed out when Aubrey called practice. Aubrey decided to go through the set an extra three gruelling times. She wanted to get out of there before having to talk to anyone, particularly Aubrey.
Chloe ran to her phone. It clicked on and she saw that Beca still hadn't replied to any of her messages. She also saw the time, and realized she was about to be late for her next class. On her way out the door she called Beca one last time.
Nothing.
Voicemail.
She sighed and picked up the pace, trying to squelch down her unease.
"Beca! Beca, can you hear me?" Kimmy-Jin was frantic seeing her roommate fall in front of her.
"Beca, if you don't answer me I'm calling an ambulance."
Beca moaned and shifted.
Chloe sped up, but she came to a bend in the path and she stopped. She should go straight and to class. Russian lit wasn't getting any easier. But something told her to head on the path to her left. The one that went to Beca's dorm. Before she knew it her feet had taken her to the left.
She sighed, going through all the reasons why Beca might miss practice. She had been acting funny all week. Maybe she figured out Chloe loved her and was freaking out. Very possible. Chloe was not subtle, and Beca sucked at feelings. This kind of thing could undoubtedly send her into hiding for weeks. Or maybe something bad happened with her Dad... or maybe she was hurt? Maybe she needed Chloe. Whatever the case, she had to find Beca. That thought solidified the direction her feet had taken.
She heard someone call her name and looked up to see Kimmy-Jin running up to her. Just that alone would be enough to make Chloe worried. It's not like they were friends, or even connected apart from their relation to Beca. Her breathlessness and frazzled expression would have been more than enough to inspire fear. But the words that came out of her mouth were what really made Chloe's heart sink.
"It's Beca. She's at the hospital."
Chloe stood there slack jawed for a moment.
"Follow me. Well take the car."
Aubrey had barely gotten in the door and put her rehearsal gear and notes in their proper place when she heard the door crashed in again.
"Aub- it's... Key. I need keys." Chloe breathlessly yelled out. Aubrey turned to the room to see another girl behind her, eyes darting around the room suspiciously. Aubrey recognized her as Beca's less-than-hospitable roommate.
"Calm down Chloe. What's happening."
"She's in the hospital Bree."
Aubrey's eyes widened slightly and she let out a breath of air, loosing the anger she felt for Beca skipping practice. She reached into the pocket of her sweater and pulled the keys out. She lifted her hand about to toss them to Chloe, but then she stopped.
Shifting her eyes to Kimmy-Jim she asked, "You have your license?" The girl nodded. "Good." Aubrey tossed the keys to her and she caught them deftly with a jingle when they hit her fingers. Turning, she saw Chloe still had a slightly dazed, sort of out-of-it expression and hadn't really processed any of the last few minutes. "I don't think she should be driving at the moment." She gave Chloe a gentle push, "Go!" and the girls were out of the door in seconds.
A/N: PP3 DVD released last night... no Bechloe kiss... I'm so sad...
Just to add to the authors note from last chapter, in the first & second chapter of my fic "When the Nazi's Come I'll Always Love You" Beca gets hurt and Chloe is taking care of her. Then in chapters four & five Chloe gets seasi ck and Beca is taking care of her. No idea why I forgot to mention those haha. Also I just read "Let's remix this buisness" by aliciameade (author of Finding Harmony!) where Chloe gets the chicken pox.
When I wrote Beca fainting last chapter, I wrote if based off of a real life scenario when my dad fainting in front of me a few years back. He was sick, had hurt his back, and collapsed at my feet from pain. Kimmy-Jim's next lines were exactly my reaction, threatening to call the ambulance if he didn't respond. Only in real life by the time I dialed and the emergency people had picked up he was coming to and I pretty much shoved the phone in his face lol. Basically I tried to describe what it's like to watch someone go unconscious, it's pretty scary, particularly when your alone and/or it's a loved one!
