As Chloe made her way back to Beca's room with fresh coffee and bagels she shifted the bag hanging from her shoulder. She really hoped Beca would be okay with her staying there for a couple days. She hadn't realized she had totally invited herself to do that, without the brunettes knowledge, until after she'd made her dramatic exit from her apartment. She couldn't exactly go back there after what had happened with Aubrey. The ginger let out a sigh at thought of what just happened. She hated yelling at her best friend, she really did. But it all needed to be said, the blonde needed to be shown what a monster she had been becoming and the calm approach clearly wasn't working. The redhead tried to push these thoughts to the back of her mind as she approached the DJ's room.

Chloe deemed knocking unnecessary as she entered the room where she found the younger girl curled up on her bed asleep. Chloe's heart swelled a little at how adorable and peaceful the tiny brunette looked. She almost didn't want to wake the girl, but also didn't want the girl to awake to a cold breakfast so she sat her things down and took a seat beside Beca and gently shook her. "Hey you, wake up sleepy head."

The younger girls eyes fluttered as she spoke groggily, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Oh hey. I guess I doze off waiting for you. Sorry."

The ginger smiled again at how adorable sleepy Beca was. "It's okay. I should be sorry. I didn't mean to be gone for so long. Here, I have our food."

"Thanks Chlo," As they began eating Beca noticed the bag on her floor. "What's up with the bag?"

"Oh that. Right. See the thing is, Aubrey and I got into a big fight so I packed bag to stay here a couple nights. But I didn't think about how I hadn't asked if that was okay before hand until after I left. So I can a stay here a couple nights? It'd be really embarrassing to go back now.. " Chloe trailed off shyly.

The brunette smirked at the redheads shyness. She had never known Chloe Beale to be shy. The older girl burst into her shower butt naked and demanded she sing to her for god's sake. "Of course you can stay here. I kinda assumed you were going to anyway after last. Speaking of last night we should probably talk about that huh..." Now it was her turn to trail off shyly.

She hadn't exactly been looking forward to this conversation. She was embarrassed that she had broken down like that. More so that her best friend, the girl she'd been falling for all year was the one to see it. But like most things in DJ's life Chloe was somehow the exception. She had been since the day she first saw her. If anyone else tried to hold her hand, loop their arms together, cuddle up to her while watching movies on forced Bella bonding nights. (Seriously Aubrey how is it bonding if it's mandatory to be there?) or god forbid, hug her, she would resort to biting if meant escape. Yet with Chloe not only did she not mind it she found herself missing it, missing her when she wasn't around. She found herself opening up to the redhead without being prompted to.

Maybe it was time she let someone past all her emotional walls and defenses. The redhead had already bulldozed through most of them anyway so maybe it was time to open the rest of the way for her. Keeping everyone at arms length and pushing away anyone who dared tried to get closer clearly wasn't working for her. She was content at best, never happy. The same isolation that had kept her alive and sane through her parents divorce and cruel kids of her high school was now the thing destroying her. As much as she hated to admit s it she needed help. And if there was anybody she wanted, trusted to let in to her world it was Chloe Beale. That's why she called the ginger last night, because somehow she knew in her heart, even if her mind didn't at first, that Chloe would never let her down.

"Yeah, we probably should." Chloe said gently

Beca maneuvered so she was laying down, her head in the older girls lap "Is this okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, of course" The redhead began running her fingers through the younger girls hair.

"Well..." So Beca told her story. Her story of how her father left without a word when she was twelve, how she retreated into herself when she felt her mother blamed her for his leaving. She stopped talking and making friends at school. About how by the time she reached high school the other students made fun of her, for being antisocial, for the way she dressed, for her height. She told of how in her sophomore year the one person she thought she could trust, her best friend, had begun fooling around with her when the young brunette told her she was gay. Only to deny it when they were caught one day under the bleachers. The girl she had considered her best friend denied her feelings and claimed Beca had surprised her with the kiss. The other students harassed for that as well.

By the time her senior year rolled around she learned had to learned to defend and isolate herself. She had learned to never depend, never to trust. She had learned how to put on the fake smile and pretend to be okay. Her home life hadn't ever really recovered, she had a small group of people she'd talk to but she always kept them on the outside. She found solace only in music, like she always had. It was also this year that her father had decided to reenter her life. Though she was never able to forgive him. In her eyes he was the start of it all. His leaving had started the chain of events that got her to this point. It wasn't until Barden that things began to actually improve for her, only to all come crashing down around her after the semi-finals. Faced with the thought of living her old life again she almost chose to end it all instead.

By the time Beca finished her story both girls were in tears.

"Oh my god, Beca, I had no idea. I'm so sorry you went through all that." Chloe said, feeling overwhelmed by Beca's story, she couldn't imagine the pain the brunette must have felt all those years. She wanted nothing more than to be able to take it all away from the younger girl.

"It's okay. It's not your fault." The brunette whispered

"It's not okay. No one should ever have to grow up that way. I promise you I will never leave Becs. I'll never abandon you."

Beca sat up so she could properly wrap her arms around the older girl "Thank you, Chlo. Thank you. I promise you I won't try killing myself again."

"Thank you, I don't what I'd do if I lost you that way. I'm always here for you. I don't care what time it is or where I am. I'm just a call away." There was a moment of silence before the redhead spoke again. "Have you ever thought about counseling? I think maybe you should look into getting some counseling with your parents. Or at least with your dad to start. Maybe It'll help you work through all this." The older girl suggested, hoping that Beca wouldn't be offended.

"I hadn't really considered it before. I figured I was lost cause. But I'll look into it, talk to my dad about it." Still seeing the worried look on the older girls face she added. "I will, I promise. Do you think for now though we can just chill out?"

"Of course." Chloe knew opening up wasn't easy for Beca, she was proud of the younger girl for how much she shared today.

Over the next few hours they they began to relax, they talked and joked about anything and everything at times. Other times they sat in comfortable silence. During this time Beca felt truly happy. Like she always did whenever she and the older girl would hang out. Thinking back to those times she remembered all the moments she wished she could have kissed the beautiful redhead, then she remembered that this time things were slightly different. In a sudden surge of confidence she leaned and kissed the older girl, the kiss was quickly and happily returned. Before long things started getting a little heated.

Chloe moaned slightly as Beca deepened the kiss "Where's this coming from?"

"Well during this whole thing I kinda forgot for a moment we like each other. So I'm taking advantage of it now. Wait, is that not okay? Oh god I'm sorry." Worried she had pushed it to far the younger girl started to pull away but was quickly pulled back in by the redhead

"No, It's definitely okay. Please continue" The older girl reassured, a less than innocent smile on her face. Just as things starting picking up again both of their phones went off. Chloe grabbed her phone to find Aubrey had sent a text to all the Bellas, Beca included.

Aubrey: I'm calling one last emergency Bella meeting before everyone leaves for break. Please meet at the rehearsal space.
