Chapter four – Bonfire Heart

Thank you all for the positive feed back on this story, I'm currently looking at around 15 chapters for this story but could be more. I, as always, own nothing.

Beca and Chloe made their way upstairs to unpack; along with their friends. All they could hear was everyone arguing about whom had what side of the bed, which had what clothes space etc.

"Well this is going to be fun isn't it love" Chloe said cheerfully.

"Oh yeah Chlo, can't wait." Beca being her sarcastic self

"So, let's have the same debate as the others. Bed, left or right?" Chloe asked

"I really don't mind, I'm not fussy where I sleep" Beca said with a glum face

"Ooo is that so" Chloe laughed. "Not like that Chloe, I mean I don't mind what side of the bed I sleep on" Beca corrected herself.

"No no, it's cool. You're enjoying yourself, don't need to justify it." Chloe was cracking up by then

"I see how this week's going to be" Beca wasn't impressed by Chloe's jokes, which was unusual, because normally she can't help but smile at the girl

"Bec come on, lighten up please. What's going on with you?" Chloe sounded genuinely concerned.

Beca set up her iPod with the speakers in the corner, Chloe walking up behind her to select the first song; for background music while they continued to arrange there room.

"Anyway preference?" Chloe asked as she pointed to the iPod, looking at Beca.

"Go 90's or something. The music of today is beginning to burn my ears, it's disgusting."

"You really are something else Beca Mitchell. How about a little Britney!" Chloe said with a big grin on her face.

"Please do. A little cray cray might make you lot seem a little normal" Beca had to smirk at herself; she was more crazy than any of them. But not Fats, that girl's one on her own.

(You drive me) Crazy – Britney Spears starts playing… Chloe stepping onto the bed, using her hair brush as a microphone

Baby, I'm so into you

You got that somethin'. What can I do?

Baby, you spin me around

The earth is movin' but I can't feel the ground

Every time you look at me

My heart is jumpin', it's easy to see

Lovin' you means so much more

More than anything I ever felt before

All Beca could think about was the lyrics, but why? Her friend was simply singing a song; very well too. Little did she know Chloe was thinking about how much meaning was behind these lyrics also? But, after Beca's conversation with Fat Amy she had a point to prove, that they didn't like each other at all, and she had to prove to herself she didn't like her. She could find her friend attractive there's nothing wrong in that. Beca just had to try and enjoy herself. So she stepped out of moody character and joined in, grabbing her hair brush and joining Chloe on the bed…

You drive me crazy

I just can't sleep

I'm so excited, I'm in too deep

Oh... crazy,

But it feels alright

Baby, thinkin' of you keeps me up all night.

Both girls singing there little hearts out jumping about singing into their 'microphones' together. Little did they know, Fat Amy and Aubrey we're cracking up in the door way watching their friends.

Tell me, you're so into me

That I'm the only one you will see

Tell me, I'm not in the blue,

That I'm not wastin' my feelings on you

"Yes, pay up everyone. They confessed, I won the bet!" Fat Amy shouted out the doorway and in the direction of their friends who were also unpacking. Many replies being shouted back…

"You know I've always been down for lesbian sex, sex is sex." stated Stacie, without a care in the world.

"Aw. I'm happy for you guys if you're happy" Benji cutely stated.

"Enjoy my seconds Chloe" laughed Jesse "Shut up" stated Aubrey, "that lasted like 2 days Jesse no need for that" everyone laughing at the lovers tiff.

"You know what I say!" shouted Bumper, "Bulls*it. You guys wouldn't ever admit anything. Although, I'm so down for a foursome if you ever find your lady balls."

"Guys will you drop this crap, seriously. What bet are you even talking about?" Chloe asking annoyed.

"Fats made a bet, she recons that I've gotta prove I don't like you or vice versa and they'll drop the crap about us two for good. By the end of the week." Beca explained

"Oh easy, we got this!" Chloe laughed and high fived Beca.

Both girls liked a bet; neither of them liked the sound of this one though.

Everyone was chilling outside. It was early in the evening, the sun was setting and the guys were keeping the log fire going. Aubrey and Stacie were currently practising cartwheels; that is never going to end well unless Aubrey is better than Stacie. Benji was practising his magic tricks. Fat Amy was inside whipping up some Mexican food for everyone.

Beca and Chloe were currently sitting on a log, around the fire with the same blanket covering their legs, can of cools light beer in hand…

"So is everything ok with you? You had to visit the hospital Aubrey said?" Beca quizzed Chloe.

"Yeah, um, everything's good. Nothing to worry about" Chloe said with a smile as she quickly looked up at Beca then away, fiddling with her can of drink.

"Oh come on Chlo, I know you better than that. You've been pretty checked out lately. What's really going on?" Beca now speaking with concern in her voice.

"Honestly, everything's good. Nothing to worry about, promise." Chloe said as she downed the rest of her drink, standing up. "Another?" she asked as she held her hand out to take Beca's empty drink.

"This girl needs more jiggle juice!" Chloe shouted back at Beca as she walked off into the lake house. Beca shaking her head at her with a smile.

"How's it going Fats?" Chloe asking Fat Amy as she walked inside, the smell was incredible.

"Oh it's crack-a-lacking real good in here my little ginger spice" laughed Fat Amy.

"So I see you and Beca talking over there" Fat Amy point outside with her head, her eyes in the direction of Beca sitting where Chloe left her on the log.

"Yes, we were talking. As all friends talk Amy. She was asking me why I was in the hospital earlier."

"And did you tell her?" Amy asking with sternness in her voice

"No I didn't Fats, there's nothing to tell her. Not something she won't worry about anyway. No one needs to know ok, it's all good."

"If you say so girl. Just don't let it make you two fall out if she keeps asking." Fat Amy had a point "She isn't going to keep asking, this is Beca we're talking about. Really doesn't care."

"Ha, yeah ok" laughed Fat Amy. "What do you mean by that you?" Chloe asked.

"Nothing hot stuff, don't worry you're little heart. So when you going to talk to her about the other thing?" Fat Amy always came out with the obvious, no holding back with her.

"What other thing?" Chloe asked as she grabbed two beers out the fridge for her and Beca. "You want one?" Chloe holding a can up, offering it to her. "No I'm good; I've still got my wine. It makes me feel super sexy, Bumper loves it." Chloe laughed.

"Chloe don't play dumb, you ain't stupid. From the day you two first laid eyes on each other at the University fair, you're so touchy feely with her. "

"I'm touchy feely with everyone Fats. That doesn't mean anything" replied Chloe.

"Chloe stop seriously, you're Beca and Chloe, together you're bloe. Everybody loves a good bloe." Chloe had to laugh at Fat Amy's way of explain things. But she did have a point there was something special about her and Beca's friendship, both knew a side to each other no one else knew.

"Anyways I'm going to round the troops up, food smells ready!" Chloe stated as she walked outside, leaving Fat Amy shaking her head at the situation.

Everybody finished up eating, which was so good. Aubrey and Jesse were being the old married couple, washing and trying up inside. Stacie was flirting so bad with Benji but the poor boy was just so so blind to it bless him.

"Yo dim wits!" Bumper shouted, "Everybody gather round the fire. It's guitar time."

"Yes that's my chubby boy" Said Fat Amy.

Everybody gathered round the fire, four or five beers down by this point.

"So, who wants what?" bumper asked as he started strumming on the strings.

Chloe started singing…

I got my ticket for the long way 'round

Two bottle 'a whiskey for the way

And I sure would like some sweet company

And I'm leaving tomorrow, wha-do-ya say?

Beca smiled and joined in…

When I'm gone

When I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me by my hair

You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Everybody was then singing, with Bumper strumming away…

I got my ticket for the long way round

The one with the prettiest of views

It's got mountains

It's got rivers

It's got sights to give you shivers

But it sure would be prettier with you

When I'm gone

When I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me by my walk

You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

As the song finished everyone started cheering.

"Hell yeah baby." Said Bumper as he high fived Jesse, and then kissed Fat Amy. Beca and Chloe looked up, smirking at each other out the corner of their eyes. Chloe could feel herself getting rather merry right now, her's and Fat Amy's conversation playing round in her mind.

"Guys, who's down for two truths one lie?!" Stacie asked excited.

Tonight was going to be very interesting.

Please let me know what you think. What do you think Chloe is hiding?
