I'm so sorry it took me so long to update this fic, now, on to the continuation!
Beca stared at Chloe, she felt her phone vibrate and pulled it out of her pocket, Jess's name was flashing. She turned her back and walked a little away from Chloe and hit the answer button.
"Hey." Beca said.
"Where are you?!" Jesse yelled over the phone. "We're supposed to be having dinner right now, Beca, where the fuck are you?"
Beca removed her phone from her ear for Jesse's voice was booming from the other line, "Shit, sorry Jesse. Where are you, I swear I'll be there."
"You even forgot the place we're supposed to be at, wow, Beca."
"I really am sorry, Jesse. Are we supposed to be at Ricky's?"
"Yes. Be here in five minutes or else." Jesse abruptly ended the call.
Beca's mind began spouting off curses, how can she forget a date with her boyfriend, her boyfriend for fuck's sake, to top it all off, Ricky's was a 20 minute walk from where they're standing, she can get there within 8 minutes if she started running now. Beca quickly pocketed her phone, "I'm sorry Chlo, I'm supposed to be with Jesse right now. I have to go."
Chloe watched as Beca frantically ran, she never even got to say good bye to the smaller girl.
"Bye." Chloe whispered to the air, she didn't know what to feel, what's going to happen now if Beca is pregnant? How's she going to deal with being in love with someone who has a boyfriend and possibly a pregnant girl? Then she remembered what she told Aubrey before heading back to Barden, "I can live with just being her best friend". Whatever Beca was not saying, Chloe was sure she'll tell her, "Just give her time, she trusts you, she'll tell you whatever it is." She repeated in her head again and again as she heads to the hotel she's staying at with the rest of her colleagues.
Beca reached the dorm room she's sharing with Kiimy Jin, after two semesters, Beca and Kimmy Jin began being civil with one another, Beca found out her roommate wasn't that bad, they just got off in a rocky start. Beca turned the knob thanking Kimmy Jin forgot to lock it, again, and winced in pain as she accidentally placed her weight on her twisted ankle. She hobbled inside their room, her roommate sitting on a swiveling chair, her laptop and books in front of her. She hissed in pain trying to balance herself, how she walked those flights of stairs to reach their room was something, and brutal, she had to stop once awhile before trudging back up. Kimmy Jin looked up and saw her roommate half hopping and limping towards her bed. Kimmy Jin stood up and made her way to the brunette.
"How many flights of stairs?" Kimmy Jin asked as they made their way towards Beca's bed.
"Huh?" Beca replied, sitting on her bed and reaching for the lace of her boots and removing it.
"Either you twisted that ankle of yours while skateboarding which I highly doubt because I don't think you have a skateboard." Kimmy Jin said as she helped Beca removed the boot from her injured foot, Beca wincing in pain as Kimmy Jin removed it. "Or you tripped on a rock or something but that's also not plausible, sometimes you walk so slow to trip on something, so I'm left with you falling down, I guess four flight of stairs, give or take.
"How many murders have you solved with you deduction skills, Sherlock?" Beca tried flexing her twisted ankle and cursing in pain. "Thanks for helping."
"We should put an ice on that, it looks really swollen." Kimmy stood up and opened Beca's cabinet and got the brunette's towel and shower caddy. "I'll help you go to the showers and have you back here, it must've took you an hour to climb those stairs. Come on."
"It took me about 40 minutes to get from Ricky's to the front of our building." Beca said as she gathered some change of clothes while Kimmy Jin supporting her, "And I guess 15 minutes to climb those stairs."
"Why didn't you call your boyfriend for help?" Kimmy Jin asked as they threaded through the hallway, stopping in front of the showers.
"I won't be long, are you sure you're okay with waiting for me?"
"It's not like I have a choice." Kimmy Jin smirked, "No worries. Just don't be too long."
Beca smiled and muttered thanks to her roommate, going in one of the stalls, she began to wash herself. It had been a long day and she left Chloe with unanswered question.
It only took her 10 minutes to be done, she changed into a comfy boxers and a loose v-neck shirt. Beca placed her worn clothes on her right shoulder and her towel on her left. Carrying her shower caddy, she limped out and saw Kimmy Jin sitting on the floor.
"That was fast." Kimmy Jin stood up and stood beside Beca, taking the shower caddy from her, she placed her arms around Beca's shoulder supporting the brunette's weight.
"You're in your sleeping wear already, it's only half past nine, and usually you're still out by this time." Beca said as they walked back to their room.
"I have to study for an exam on Monday." Kimmy Jin explained as she reached for the door knob and helped the brunette enter, "So I showered early and changed into something comfortable."
Beca placed her clothes on a hamper beside her closet, setting her shower caddy inside her closet. They reached Beca's bed and Kimmy Jin slowly sited Beca on the brunette's bed.
Kimmy Jin went to her closet and grabbed a cardigan and purse. "I'll just buy the ice, do you need anything else?"
"No, thanks." Beca reached for her laptop sitting on her desk. "I'll just start my paper while I wait for you. Thank you, really, dude."
"Isn't that the paper due later at 4:00 AM?" Kimmy Jin asked as she reached the door.
"Yeah, he gives us deadlines on the weirdest time possible." Beca replied and searched for her phone. "Hey have you seen my phone?"
"You placed it beside your pillow before we went to the showers. I'll be back with the ice."
Kimmy Jin went to a convenience store not far from their dorm, purchasing an ice pack and four canned coffee. She went out of the store and checked if there are still some stores open, she forgot to have dinner. A pizza place was still open so she bought a box of pepperoni pizza and went back.
After Kimmy Jin left, Beca checked her phone, 3 missed calls from Jesse, not exactly missed calls, she didn't really want to talk to the guy, and a message from Chloe. She opened the message she had from Chloe, it read,
I had a great time with you, I missed you.
Dinner tomorrow? I'll pick you up after our briefing
with Professor Kent. Have an easy sleep!
Beca was about to reply when Chloe's name was flashing in her screen, she pressed the answer button and sighed a hello to the girl on the other line.
"How was your date?"
"Fine."
"Did you get my message?"
"Yeah, but I don't think I can do tomorrow. How about Sunday?"
"Oh, I'm not sure. We'll prepare for the ingress on Sunday night."
"Monday? Up to when will you be staying here?"
"I'll be leaving on Sunday. I guess we'll think of something else. It was really nice seeing you again, Beca."
"You too, Chlo."
"I actually called to say good night to you."
"Thanks, but I still have a paper to do."
"Still cramming? Alright, I won't bother you now. Good night."
"Good night, Chlo."
"And Beca."
"Yeah?"
"I'm here for you, no matter what. Okay?"
"Okay. Bye."
"Good night, bye."
"Bye."
Chloe ended the call. Beca locked her phone and thought for a minute if she'll come clean to Chloe. It wasn't that she didn't intend on telling Chloe, she has every intention to, she just didn't have the guts, for now. For a person who can sarcastically make her way through everything by biting remarks and putting up a badass attitude, her hiding this from Chloe surely dampens that. She has to think this through, but she also needs to be done with her damn paper. Beca placed her phone under her pillow and began working on her paper.
20 minutes later, she heard the door knob being jingled. Kimmy Jin walked in and locked the door. She was carrying a box of pizza, and a plastic of goodies.
"You are aware you just went out in your sleeping wear?"
"Yeah, I do this all the time. The latest time I got out to buy stuff in my comfy clothes is 4 in the morning." Kimmy Jin said as she went to her medicine box and grabbed a bandage and one of her small pillows.
Kimmy Jin wrapped the bandage around Beca's swollen ankle, placed the pillow under her foot, and placed the ice pack on the brunette's foot. "Better?"
"Loads. Thanks, man." Beca said.
"Here, I'm loading you up with caffeine so you can be done with your paper." Kimmy Jin placed two canned coffee on Beca's desk. "Is it okay if I watch tv while you're doing your paper?"
"Yeah sure." Beca opened the can of coffee and drank. Kimmy Jin sat on the floor with the box of pizza in one hand and a can of coffee on the other, and her back resting on the side of Beca's bed. Kimmy Jin opened the tv and clicked through the channels and settled for a documentary about murders. She opened the box of pizza and held it up to where Beca was, "The climb must've exhausted you and burned what you ate. Help me eat these."
"Is this supposed to be your dinner?" Beca asked taking a slice from the box.
"Yep." Kimmy Jin replied and took a bite from her slice.
The voice over from the television, the tapping sounds of keyboards being hit, an almost empty box of pizza, cans of coffee, consumed the room. After finishing her second can of coffee, Kimmy Jin turned the power of the tv off and just listened to the tapping sounds of Beca's typing.
"You didn't answer my question." Kimmy Jin plainly stated.
"What question?" Beca asked and stopped typing, placing her laptop on her bed and grabbed her coffee.
"I asked why you didn't call your boyfriend for help." Kimmy Jin said and turned around so she can see Beca from the floor she's sitting at.
"Oh, I…" Beca answered, "I didn't want to bother him."
Kimmy Jin's thin brow raised, "He's your boyfriend, isn't that the kind of things men like doing, he'll be like saving you from the crutches of being unable to walk properly."
"I didn't want to bother him." Beca repeated while toying the can of coffee she's holding.
"If you're not happy with him, break up with him." Kimmy Jin said as she stood up and gathered the empty pizza box and coffee cans. "I know it's none of my business, but you don't seem to be happy with him. The last time I remember you being happy, and I mean genuinely happy like carefree happy, was when that Chloe girl was hanging out here. Whenever I spot you with Jesse it's like your spending time with him because it's a routine now, and no, I'm not stalking you, I just happen to pass by you guys."
Kimmy Jin threw her trash at a bin and grabbed her toothbrush from her shower caddy. "Besides, Chloe totally had the hots for you and you two look great together." Kimmy Jin added before walking out of the door.
Beca blushed at her roommate's comment. Whatever confusing feelings she had with Chloe back when she was still here was something she just shrugs off; it felt right to be with Jesse at that time. And now Chloe's visiting, Beca needs to sort out her feelings, and with what's happening between Jesse and her makes it easier for her to make a decision; do the right thing, or do what'll make her happy.
