A week after the whole encounter with Beca, Chloe finds herself in her sisters room while talking on the phone with her best friend. "How's Mel doing? Anything new, what have the doctors said?"
Chloe looks back at her sister, seeing her there incubated, and not her perky self always gets the best out of her. "Shes still the same I guess. All the doctors have said is that they are going to do some CT Scans to check her brain activity and see how the swelling is and depending on how it is they think that she should come out of it. And in any cases they might put her in an induced coma instead if her swelling hasn't gone down like they wanted."
"Chlo that's great why don't you sound excited for? Things are looking better after all this time." The blonde questions her friend sensing that there was something wrong but just couldn't put her finger on it.
"It's just that, God Bree I don't want to get my hopes up and then not get the news I want. I can't put myself through that. I'm the only one she has left. Mom and Dad aren't here anymore an-and" she tries to continue as her tears start to fall down her face. She closes her eyes, "what kills me the most is that she doesn't even know it." The redhead is now in full sobs as she picks up her legs and wraps her arms around her knees. Thinking of how her sister didn't even know that her parents had passed in the accident as well.
They both stayed in silence for a few minutes until Chloe was able to calm down and composed herself enough to keep talking. She picks up her phone again, "Bree when are you coming back? I miss you an-and I don't think I can do all of this by myself" she questions her best friends in hopes that she will be returning from her trip soon.
She hears her best friend sigh through the phone, "I'll be there soon I promise. Tops another week or so, but I promise to give you a call as soon as I get back. I like New York and all but I miss me my LA. Please try to relax and let me know if anything changes with Mel, and give her a kiss from me. That little squirt needs to get better and soon. Hey and I love you Chlo don't forget it!" and with that she hangs up the phone.
Chloe goes back to examining her sister as she begins to realize how lonely she is and has been. Her best friend is miles away and has been for the last three weeks, her sister has been lying on a hospital bed for seven months and her parents aren't here because they passed away seven months ago. Every time she closes her eyes all she can see is the worse night of her life flashing by again.
"Chlo-bear can I go with you in your car pleaseeee" Melanie ask her big sister after her softball game, wanting to spend more time with her since she doesn't normally get the chance to because of how busy the redhead has been lately with work at the school.
"Mel you know I would say yes in a heartbeat…BUT-" Chloe replies as they are walking to the parking lot. She hears her sister let out a deep breath knowing what was coming next. "But mom and dad are her so you might want to ask them if you can, because they're the ones bringing you home so if they say yes and by all means you can come with me kiddo."
The small black haired girl looks back to see her parents chatting it up while walking towards their car and races to them to ask them if she could go with Chloe, a few minutes pass by when the girl makes her way back to her sister.
"They said no because it's a school night and they don't want me out that late, since they know all we ever do is stay up all night. What the hell man, all I wanted was to hang out with you before your stupid girlfriend comes back and then steals you away from me again." The younger girl slouches her shoulders and has tears threatening to fall out as she looks down at her feel not wanting to look at her sister.
"Is that really what is bothering you?" the redhead asks her sister, and she get a quick nod from the smaller girl. She reaches over to hug her sister and whispers back to her "How about this weekend I come get you and you can spend it at my apartment and Bree will be home by then so she'll be there with us too, want to do that?" She then looks down at her sister who is giving her, her best smile; she nods then gives her a hug one more time and runs off to her parents. The red head stands there waving them off as they leave the parking lot looking forward to her weekend with her sister.
Few hours later Chloe is sitting in her kitchen finishing up some stuff from work when she hears her doorbell ringing. She glances at her clock and see that its nearly 11pm. She quickly gets up to answer the door and comes face to face with a police officer. "Are you Ms. Beale?" she quickly nods. "My name is Officer Reynolds, theres been an accident in which both your parents and sister have been admitted to the hospital. I-"
"Where are they at?" she quickly asks without letting him finish what he was trying to say. "They are in California Hospital Medical Center ma-am, Im sor-" She quickly runs inside grabs her keys, purse and phone and races out of the door.
She gets to the hospital as quickly as possible. Runs up to the front desk to the receptionist, "Hi im Chloe Beale, my parents and sister where brought in from an accident not long ago, please tell me where they are or someone I can talk to." The nurse quickly types on the computer then reaches for her pager and pages someone. "The doctor will be with you in just a minute you can wait right her or in the waiting room area if you'd like"
"Can you just please tell me how they are I need to know please" she was now begging as her tears started to flow down her face. "Im sorry Ms. Beale but that's for the doctor to say not me." The nurse answers with as much sincerity as possible.
After a few minutes go by a doctors shows up, "BEALE" is all Chloe needs to hear when she shoots up and goes to the doctor. "Are you her for Melanie, Grace and John Beale?" he questions to make sure he has the right person. She quickly nods. "Please come with me this way. Its better if we speak out here." He then walks with her to the hallway where there are less people around.
"Well first of all I'm Dr. Torres, your sister Melanie has suffered a few injuries, good news is that they are easy to cure and heal, she has a fracture tibia, her wrists as well and a few cuts as well, the bad news is that on impact she banged her head on the side of the window which is caused her to be unconscious but the problem is that her brain is swollen and we have to drain some of the water that is surrounding the brain to help the swelling. As of right now we have her incubated for her breathing and also have her induced so she can save her energy and we are keeping a close eye on her for any signs of changes." He pauses and looks down to the floor, the redhead notices and decides to break the silence.
"How are my parents Doctor? Are they okay, can I please go and see them?" the redhead then realizes why the doctor has been hesitant to speak about her parents.
"Im sorry Ms. Beale but, your parents didn't make it through. They were pronounced dead at the scene therefore there wasn't anything we could do. The impact of the other vehicle was mostly on their side therefore they received the majority of the blow which caused them to pass away instantly, they did not suffer. Im sorry, I will give you a minute and then I will show you to them if you'd like."
Chloe jumped at the memory she was just dreaming about. She took a look around and found herself in her sisters room again, and she then realized it wasn't just a reoccurring dream she was having but it was her reality, her real life nightmare and there was nothing she could do but to just live it out and hope for the best and keep having faith, even if day by day it seemed to be going now where.
She grabed her things, makes her way to her sister's side and gently places a kiss on her forehead, as she is making her way down the hallway she passes a few nurses and doctors who just give her a sympathetic look and keep on walking.
"When life leaves you high and dry I'll be at your door tonight if you need help, if you need help. I'll shut down the city lights, I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe to make you well to make you well. When enemies are at your door I'll carry you away from war if you need help, if you need help.-"
Its her again. Chloe slows down as she when she hears the singing continue.
"Give me reasons to believe that you would do the same for me that you would do the same for me. And I would do it for you, for you baby Im not moving on I'll love you long after your gone. For you, for you, you will never sleep alone I'll love you long after you're gone and long after you're gone, gone, gone."
She didn't know why but every time she heard Beca singing it made her heat flutter, but she didn't want to over think things all she just wanted to do was get lost in her voice. Just like the first time she was in awe of the voice that was singing. Only difference is that this time she knew who and where it was coming from without needing to find out.
