New Girl - Chapter 4: Dislocation

Chloe had recently got home from work, Jesse and Stacie were due back in the next couple of hours and Beca was currently getting ready for her shift at the bar.

The redhead was dealing with some period pain and was on the search for some pain killers. After frustratingly not finding any in her purse she set off to have a look in the bathroom. She knew Beca was in the shower but it wouldn't hurt just slipping in and checking the medicine cabinet.

Chloe couldn't help but smile as she silently slipped into the steamy bathroom to be met by Beca softly singing to herself in the shower. She made her way over to the cabinet and began to rummage through it.

Beca turned off the shower and hummed to herself as she pulled the curtain and went to step out but her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she realised Chloe was in the room. The brunette shrieked as she glanced down at her naked body after noticing the redhead's wide eyes.

The 25 year old yanked the shower curtain in a panic but ended up losing her footing and slipping to the ground. "Argh!" She yelled in pain.

"Oh my god! Are you okay?" Chloe asked, trying her hardest not to laugh.

"No." Beca winced from behind the curtain and the older woman furrowed her brow. "I think I've dislocated my shoulder." She hissed in pain.

"What?" Chloe asked incredulously.

"Didn't you hear me?" The younger girl snapped through gritted teeth.

"Do you need help up?" The redhead asked, ignoring the frustrated snap she had just received.

"No, no I just need you to ah-"

The 27 year old cringed as she heard the woman fumbling around in pain behind the curtain, presumably from pulling herself up.

"Okay, I'm up but I need you to put a towel around me." Beca instructed. "But like, don't look dude. Close your eyes." She added awkwardly.

"Got it." Chloe tried not to laugh as she grabbed a towel because as far as she was concerned, it didn't make a difference at this point since she had literally seen everything a couple minutes ago. Of course she respected her privacy and shut her eyes. "Okay come on out."

"Are your eyes closed?"

"Yes, oh my god." She sighed loudly.

Beca stepped out and as soon as Chloe felt her touching the towel she blindly wrapped it around her body.

"Aw you're so tiny." The redhead chuckled.

The brunette just narrowed her eyes at her even though the other woman couldn't see. She managed to hold the towel in place with her uninjured hand. "Okay I'm alright now, you can open your eyes."

When Chloe opened her eyes, she winced at the unnatural look of Beca's shoulder. It definitely looked dislocated. "We need to get you dressed and to the emergency room."

"What?" The shorter woman asked in a panicked voice. "Can't you pop it back into place?"

"No way! I've never had to pop someone's shoulder back into place and I'm sure as hell not starting now. You're going to hospital."

Beca whined as she followed Chloe out of the room. "And how the fuck am I gonna get dressed?" She asked as they entered her bedroom.

"I'll help." The older woman shrugged.

"I'm completely naked." The brunette reminded as she started going through her drawers with her free hand, searching for something to wear.

"Well surely if you sit down on the bed you can manage to get your underwear on by yourself but I can help with the rest." Chloe offered.

"Y'know you still haven't told me why you snuck up on me in the bathroom." Beca said distractedly as she picked out an outfit of her typical skinny jeans and a t-shirt before sitting down on the bed, motioning with her finger to make Chloe turn around.

"I wasn't sneaking up on you." The redhead rolled her eyes. "I was looking for painkillers because I had cramps and you just so happened to come out of the shower."

"Scaring the shit outta me-ow!"

"You okay?"

"Yeah I just moved the wrong way." The brunette continued to struggle, crying out in pain now and again until she finally got her underwear on. "Okay can you help me now?"

Chloe could hear in Beca's voice how much she was hating asking for help. She turned around as Beca stood up with her t-shirt in hand, holding it out to the redhead.

"How're we gonna do this-woah okay." Beca was taken aback when Chloe just stepped forward and pulled the t-shirt over her head without warning.

The redhead smiled sweetly as she pushed the younger woman's hair back out of her face for her.

"I'll do your sore arm first." Chloe gently took Beca's arm and carefully tried to put it through the sleeve without hurting the woman.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck." The 25 year old clenched her teeth, trying to bear through the pain while she held onto the towel with her other hand because she was still bare chested. No way in hell was she dealing with putting a bra on right now. "Argh!" Beca cried, letting go of the towel to hold Chloe's arm in a death grip instead, not even caring that the towel had dropped to her feet.

Chloe flinched as the woman's nails dug into her but didn't stop what she was doing until she finally managed to get her arm through. "There, oh my god, I'm so sorry." She quickly helped with the brunette's uninjured arm as the poor woman was still recovering. "Are you alright?" The redhead asked softly, glancing at her own arm where Beca's nails left little marks.

The shorter woman just nodded as she picked up her jeans from the bed, passing them to Chloe.

The redhead got down on her knees in front of the brunette and got her to step into them.

"I know we've known each other for a few months now Chloe, but I didn't expect to get you on your knees this fast." Beca joked with a smirk and Chloe just glanced up with a challenging expression before they both laughed.

"You're an asshole." The redhead shook her head with a smile as she tried to get Beca's jeans up her legs. "And an idiot apparently, why didn't you pick something looser to put on?" She asked with a furrow brow as she stood up to pull the jeans past the woman's thighs.

"It was the first thing I grabbed." Beca said in defence as she held onto Chloe's shoulder, glancing down at the woman buttoning her jeans up. "Can you help me put an arm in this?" Once the redhead was done, Beca walked over to her door and pulled off her zip up hoodie that was hanging on it.

"Sure." Chloe quickly helped her put her free arm in the sleeve so she could leave her injured arm out, instead just resting the hoodie over her sore shoulder.

Once Chloe had finally helped Beca with her socks, the younger woman slipped into some shoes. "Well this has been significantly awkward but I guess we should actually go and get my shoulder put back into place, huh?" She chuckled with a stupid grin which Chloe could only laugh at. It had been quite an awkward situation, Beca probably wouldn't have felt as uncomfortable if Stacie was home and able to help her but her and Chloe persevered, cracking a few jokes to ease the awkwardness.

"What's your full name?" Chloe asked, tapping the pen on the paper. She was currently having to fill out Beca's forms for her while they were in the ER since the brunette had fallen on her left shoulder and her left happened to be her dominant hand.

Beca grimaced, giving the redhead a side glance.

"Well it's pretty obvious what it is but I just wanted to make-"

"Rebeca Mitchell." The brunette finally fully turned to her.

"Do you not like it?" Chloe asked as she wrote it down.

"Nope."

"One or two 'L's'?"

"Two." Beca continued her blunt answers but the redhead couldn't blame her, she was still in pain after all.

"Date of birth?" Chloe then asked.

"August 9th 1992." The 25 year old said, slowly trying to sit back to relax a little.

The redhead smiled to herself as she filled in Beca's birthday, remembering that she's only 25. She then went on to fill in their address, obviously not having to ask her that. "Who do you want as your emergency contact?"

"Uh...Just put you." Beca shrugged one shoulder, nodding her head at the woman.

"Really?" Chloe asked incredulously.

"Yes...weirdo." The brunette scoffed with a laugh, giving the woman a funny look.

"Why?" The redhead wondered curiously as she filled in her own details.

"I don't know, you're like around more than Jesse and Stacie? You seem more reliable in an emergency? I don't know dude, just go for it." Beca couldn't help but chuckle as she tried to come up with reasons for Chloe.

The gesture obviously meant a lot more to Chloe than what Beca realised. It was because the redhead was still trying to fit into the little family Beca, Stacie and Jesse had created over the years. She wanted to be a part of that and it was things like this that made her realise she was getting there.

"Where were you guys?" Stacie asked as she watched Chloe come through the front door but her eyes widened when Beca emerged from behind her with her arm in a sling.

"What the fuck happened?" Jesse asked, furrowing his brow in concern.

The two were sitting at the breakfast bar, eating dinner.

Beca and Chloe glanced at each other.

"Long story." The redhead chuckled awkwardly.

"I dislocated my shoulder in the shower." The brunette sighed heavily as she made her way over to Jesse and Stacie, Chloe following her.

Stacie spluttered a laugh, earning herself a death glare. "Sorry." She quickly said instead.

"How long are you in a sling for?" The man wondered, spinning his fork in his spaghetti.

"Few days."

"You guys hungry?" Stacie asked the two women who were still standing up.

"Nah we ate on our way home." Chloe explained with a shrug. "Hey I hope you guys don't mind but I've invited Aubrey over to hang out for a bit." She added as she opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water.

"Fine by me." Jesse's eyes lit up with a smile.

"Dude stop trying to get in the poor girl's pants, she doesn't wanna fuck you." Stacie gave Jesse a playful shove.

"I'm not trying to sleep with her, I want to take her out on a date." The man said in defence.

"Good luck with that." Chloe scoffed as she screwed her bottle cap back on.

"Does she play for Beca's team?" Stacie asked nonchalantly before she popped a forkful into her mouth.

Beca glanced up from her phone at the mention of her name.

"No she's straight, she just doesn't date a lot. Her parents are always trying to set her up with guys because any boyfriend she's actually introduced them to they just get all judgy. They're pretty uptight." The redhead explained.

"Looks like you're out of luck Jesse boy." Stacie laughed as she patted him on the back.

The man just held up his middle finger at her as he continued to eat.

When Aubrey came over they were all hanging out on the couch in front of the TV. Although Jesse, Stacie and Beca hadn't really gotten to chance to get to know the blonde, conversation was flowing nicely. Well Beca wasn't really talking much at all, she was more focused on the TV since she was feeling sorry for herself because of her shoulder.

"Ugh I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow." Chloe groaned as she enviously watched Jesse refill his and Aubrey's wine glasses, the only two that has a day off tomorrow.

"Tell me about it." Stacie sighed. "I've got a photo shoot first thing in the morning."

"Sucks to be you guys." Jesse teased as him and Aubrey clinked their glasses together with a chuckle.

Chloe and Stacie playfully rolled their eyes before going into their own conversation.

"How long have you lived in LA?" Jesse asked the blonde as he rested his arm on the back of the couch behind her.

"My whole life." Aubrey replied.

"That's awesome, me too." He held his fist out for a fistbump.

The woman gave the man an amused look before returning the gesture with a chuckle.

"You're a lawyer right?" He then asked and Aubrey nodded. "That's pretty badass."

She couldn't help but smile back at him. "What do you do?" She wondered, sipping on her wine.

"I work in marketing-"

"So he dresses like a tool." Beca piped up with her smirk. It was her favourite thing to say whenever Jesse mentioned his job. It was all light hearted fun though.

"Do you want your other shoulder dislocated?" Jesse jokingly threatened.

The 25 year old just kept smirking at him before turning her head back to the TV.

"It's nice when a guy is well dressed." Aubrey took another sip of wine as she nodded at the man.

Jesse looked down at himself as he was still wearing what he had on at work before looking up again, giving the woman a sweet smile. "Thanks."

"I need to go to bed." Chloe yawned, checking the time on her phone. It was just past 11pm, Stacie was already in bed, Beca was dozing off now and again on the couch and Chloe could barely keep her own eyes open.

Jesse and Aubrey were still drinking and laughing about something Chloe didn't have the energy to even pay attention to.

"Beca." The redhead said over to the woman at the opposite end of the couch.

"Hm?" The brunette hummed as she slowly opened her eyes, glancing around the room in confusion.

"You're falling asleep, you should go to bed." Chloe said as she stood up with a stretch. "Need a hand up?" She walked over to her and offered her hand.

With a tired sigh, Beca took hold of the redhead's hand and was pulled to her feet. "Night." She mumbled before yawning.

"Night." Chloe replied as she brunette walked away. The redhead went behind the back of the couch were Aubrey was and placed her hands on the blonde's shoulders.

Aubrey tilted her head back and smiled when she saw Chloe.

"You're drunk." The redhead said knowingly.

"A little." The blonde returned, placing a hand over Chloe's.

"Well call a cab, we'll drop your car off tomorrow at some point so leave your keys." Chloe explained.

"Mhm." Aubrey hummed.

"Alright goodnight you two. Jesse make sure she gets in a cab okay." The redhead kissed her best friend on the cheek.

"I will." Jesse gave the redhead a thumbs up before the woman began to walk away.

"Night!" They both called after her.

Chloe gave them a wave over her shoulder before disappearing down the hall.

"We're out of wine." Jesse chuckled, pointing at the empty bottle on the table.

"We should get some more." Aubrey chewed on her bottom lip as she stroked her thumb over Jesse's hand that was resting on the back of the couch.

The man smiled at their hands. "I think we should get you home." He knew that was the right thing to say as he looked back up at her.

"Whyyy?" She whined, moving her hand down to his thigh.

The wine had clearly gone to Aubrey's head a little more than Jesse's.

"Becaussse." He matched her tone with a chuckle as he gently took her hand away from his leg. "Trust me, you'll thank me in the morning." The man stood up and helped the woman to her feet. "You go get yourself ready, I'll call a cab."

"Okay." Aubrey nodded before making her way down the hall to the bathroom, having a little stagger which made her laugh.

Jesse shook his head with a laugh as he watched her. He couldn't get over how attractive she was. Friendly, adorable, beautiful, intelligent, the list goes on and on and Jesse knew how out of his league she was but it's always worth a shot right? But Aubrey being slightly tipsy and pushing herself onto him a little wasn't something he was going to go along with. Taking advantage of women when they're drunk is something Jesse couldn't do, it was disrespectful and downright wrong, he knew that.

He called her a cab and once she had come back from the bathroom, he offered to go downstairs and wait with her.

"You okay?" Jesse asked as the woman was searching through her bag while they went down in the elevator.

"Here." Aubrey said as she held out her car keys to him.

"Thanks. I'll drop it off tomorrow." He slipped the keys into his pocket. "Can I get your number so we can arrange a time?" He asked hopefully

Aubrey gave him a challenging look. "I don't normally give my number to guys in elevators." She teased, pulling out her phone.

"Ah you'll make an exception for me though, right?" Jesse played along with a grin, giving her a playful nudge with his elbow.

"Hmm." She hummed with a smile as she handed him her phone once she had unlocked it.

The man put his number into her contacts before sending himself a text so he'd get her number. Just as he did that the elevator reached the ground floor. "Here you go." He handed her the phone back as they walked outside.

The fresh air hit Aubrey like a truck as she swayed a little too much, Jesse having to hold an arm around her waist to steady her.

"Woah." She giggled, leaning into him. "Sorry."

"That's okay." Jesse couldn't help but chuckle as he removed his arm once she found her balance.

A taxi pulled up in front of them and Jesse helped Aubrey into the back before closing the door for her.

"Be careful, alright?" The brunette said through the open window.

"I will." The blonde reassured.

Jesse pulled out his wallet and stepped to the driver's window.

"No Jesse, what're you doing?" Aubrey caught sight of what he was trying to do and reached out the window towards him as he handed the driver money.

"That should cover it, man."

"You don't have to pay for me." The blonde continued to protest.

"Too late." Jesse teased. "You can pay for my ride home next time and we'll call it even." He joked with a wink. "Goodnight Aubrey." He gave her a wave as the cab pulled away before she could even continue her protest.

Jesse put his hands in his pockets as he smiled down at the ground.

So we continue with Beca and Chloe's budding romance with some awkwardness of course. I'm happy you guys are sticking around even though this is a slow burner in which I want them to become pretty close in friendship first and have more situations like that ^^

And this was also the introduction to the possible romance of Jesse and Aubrey which could lead to a potential love triangle situation with Stacie.

Some people dig the Jesse and Stacie, some people don't but at this time they are literally nothing more than just friends occasional with benefits.
