There standing in Beca's doorway is Chloe not looking like herself. She looks as if she hadn't slept with her bloodshot eyes and there's worry written all over her face. Concerned Beca steps out into the hallway closing her door quietly so as not to alarm Bree. Chloe is still standing there, but hasn't spoken a word so Beca takes the initiative.
BM: Chlo are you alright?
CB: Becs I need your help. (She barely manages to say while holding back tears)
BM: What's wrong?
CB: It's Aubrey, she's missing.
BM: What do you mean missing? (Clearly confused since Bree is currently in her room)
CB: She never came home last night. I tried calling her cell, but it goes straight to voicemail. I even asked Jesse if he knew where she was and he said he hadn't seen her all day yesterday. And I can't get ahold of Stacie as well. I didn't know who else to go to Bec. I'm so scared somethings happened to her, she never stays out anywhere.
BM: Um… just wait here let me go grab my phone and shoes. (The situation becoming clear to Beca what was going on. Not sure what Bree wanted she made up an excuse to get Chloe to wait for her while she went to check with Bree)
Feeling bad about leaving Chloe outside Beca makes her way quickly to Bree. Bree is now lying on her back humming the song Beca was singing earlier. She sees Beca and notices the girl looks worried so she questions her.
AP: Who was that at the door? Is everything alright?
BM: Oh… (A little startled when she hears Bree talking) It's actually Chloe.
AP: Chloe? What's she doing here?
BM: Um…she kind of thinks you're missing. And I didn't know if I should've told her you weren't so I freaked out and told her to wait while I grabbed my phone and shoes.
AP: Missing?! OMG (grabbing her phone she takes off airplane mode and her phone starts to buzz away letting her know she has 36 missed calls and 15 texts)
BM: What do I do? (Freaking out and waiting for Aubrey to make a decision)
AP: Oh my gosh bring her in she must be going crazy out there.
BM: Okay.
Beca opens her door and sure enough Chloe is pacing and mumbling to herself. Beca tries to get her attention, but the redhead clearly can't hear her so she grabs her hand and pulls her into the room.
CB: What are you doing Beca?! We need to go find Bree! (Not noticing Bree on Beca's bed)
BM: Um yeah about that…Bree's not missing.
CB: What do you mean not missing?! Were you not listening earlier?
At this moment Chloe's eyes drift to Beca's bed and notices Bree lying there. She jumps to her own conclusions.
CB: Bree! What are you doing here?! Wait you guys are secretly dating?! (Her voice has a hint of pain) I-I've gotta go
Chloe turns quickly on her heel and tries to rush out of Beca's room whilst tears are spilling. Before she can get halfway out the door she's being pulled back in.
Aubrey had sensed what was gonna happen when Chloe spotted her on the bed and quickly got up to catch her before she fled.
AP: Chloe it's not what you're thinking.
CB: (half-yelling) Don't lie to me, I'm not stupid! Why didn't you just tell me Bree? You know how I feel about her. (fully yelling now) What did you think it was funny to listen to me rant knowing full well I couldn't have her cause you already did!
AP: Chlo, I would never do that to you. Will you just listen to me?
CB: Why should I?! You're just gonna make excuses.
AP: Then don't! Just do me a favor and listen to Beca.
Frustrated Bree turns around and walks towards Beca who looks like a deer in the headlights. They start to whisper argue.
AP: You need to tell her how you feel!
BM: What why?!
AP: Because she won't listen unless you tell her you love her.
BM: L-Love her? I don't know what you're talking about.
AP: Oh give it up. I told I would help you and well here it is. Tell her.
BM: I don't know how (Sheepishly looking down to the floor)
AP: Then just kiss her!
BM: I-I-I can't do that.
AP: OMG here (grabbing Becas guitar and shoving it in her arms) Then sing. I know you already have a song in mind that relays your feelings.
BM: (Through gritted teeth) I don't know how you know that but fine!
Closing her eyes and taking a big breath Beca sits on the floor in front of Chloe and starts to strum her guitar. Before she sings the first line she catches Chloe's gaze and holds it for the duration of the song.
When your tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
When it's in your spine like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while
If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you
When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath
When the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless
When you try to speak but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach but they've never been so loud
If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you
I will stay
Nobody will break you,
Yeah
Trust in me, trust in me
Don't pull away
Trust in me, trust in me
I'm just trying to keep this together,
Because I could do worse and you could do better
Tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
Beca finishes singing and Chloe is standing there stunned. The room is silent. Feeling the adrenaline from confessing Beca quickly stands, ditching the guitar on the floor, and approaches Chloe. Their gaze has yet to be broken. Beca reaches out and caresses Chloe's cheek, leans in, and captures the redheads' lips with her own. After what seemed like a minute but really was only like 15 seconds she breaks the kiss and plants one on Chloe's forehead before taking a step back and burns a hole into the ground with her eyes.
Chloe finally breaks out of her trance and looks at Beca who is looking at the floor intensely. She steps toward the girl and gently lifts her head, but Beca avoids her eyes. She waits till she captures her eyes and does the only thing she knows how to do to express her emotions. She sings.
Baby, I love you
I never want to let you go
The more I think about,
The more I want to let you know:
That everything you do,
Is super fucking cute
And I can't stand it
The goofiest smile creeps onto Beca's face upon hearing Chloe curse
I've been searching for
A girl that's just like you
Cause I know
That your heart is true
Baby, I love you
I never want to let you go
The more I think about,
The more I want to let you know:
That everything you do,
Is super-duper cute
And I can't stand it
Let's sell all our shit,
And run away
To sail the ocean blue
Then you'll know,
That my heart is true
Baby, I love you
I never want to let you go
The more I think about,
The more I want to let you know:
That everything you do,
Is super-duper cute
And I can't stand it
You, you got me where you want me
Cause I'll do anything to please you
Just to make it through:
Another year
You, I saw you across the room
And I knew that this is gonna
Blossom into something beautiful.
You're beautiful.
Baby, I love you
I never want to let you go
The more I think about,
The more I want to let you know:
That everything you do,
Is super-duper cute
And I can't stand it
No I can't stand it
No I can't stand it
Chloe finishes singing and not a second later is she pulling Beca into an earth-shattering kiss filled with all the emotions her heart wanted to portray. After almost a minute she pulls away reluctantly. She notices that Beca's eyes are still closed like she didn't want it to end. A thought crosses her mind that Beca truly is super-duper cute. Finally the shorty's eyes flutter open and she quietly states "I take it you love me back." "Forever and always" Chloe replies as she places a kiss on the Beca's nose.
