Chapter 6
Okay so, I enjoy all of you reading! Reviews are always appreciated And I encourage you to review more! Also. Although the plotline goes with the movie fairly well, and is sticking to it. I will add plenty of moments and chapters that are not in the movie, just to add to Chloe's and Beca's relationship a little bit more. You could probably already tell…
BUUTTT I have an idea I wasn't to use, and I'm not sure if I really want to use it. It could turn out bad. It could be dumb. I'm leaning more towards not using it, and just going with my regular idea. But it won't come forward until a little bit in the future.
Enjoy the next chapter!

A week has gone by, almost too fast for Chloe to handle. Everyday after rehearsals, she would go over to Beca's dorm for an hour or two just to hang out. The more she hung out with the small girl, the more she realized just how amazing she was. Beca had loved to be by herself, Chloe could tell. Her roommate, Kimmy Jin had turned out to be one of the biggest bitches she could ever had described, but she tried to be nice and keep it light with the Korean girl.
Chloe soon learned that Beca had another self defense. A way to defuse any personal questions that Chloe had asked. She used sarcasm. And she used it brilliantly. Chloe, however, was not turned off by Beca's snarky attitude, but instead it made Chloe laugh, and smile. Although Beca would attempt to hide anything that had happened to her in the past, Chloe was able to pick up small bits and pieces of things.
Beca had something happen to her not too long ago that ruined her relationship with her father. Chloe learned that Beca has 7 ear piercings. Two of them were the regular pierce areas, and she got them because she could. Now the rest of them each had a different background. Chloe learned that each of them were special to Beca in a way that most people wouldn't understand. Chloe had taken it as a personal challenge to learn what these piercings had meant.
She had yet to find out.
But here she was, singing with the Bellas at the Sigma Beta Theta's Annual Fall Mixer. She had a blush on her face from slight embarrassment. To say that they were unprepared for SBT was an understatement…
They sounded horrible, and they didn't look any better. The ginger gave a quick look around her, none of the girls knew what they were doing. And even worse, Beca seemed like she was ready to kill herself. She frowned, combined with finding out about her nodes this morning, and then to top the day off with this tragic performance…she would not be in a good mood later that night.
Chloe watched as Howie came over and stopped them. Chloe looked back at the girls, seeing their reactions. Most of them looked embarrassed, and she was surprised to see Beca also looked decently embarrassed. She frowned and looked back at Howie and Aubrey. Aubrey looked like she was begging for his forgiveness.
He shook his head no. Chloe scratched her eyebrow. Boy was this embarrassing…
Aubrey looked at her, "Come one Chloe let's go."
Chloe lead the Bellas out of the frat house, she crossed her arms and had her head down. Not only was she super embarrassed, but she also couldn't stop thinking about her nodes…what would Aubrey say? What would she think?
Chloe bit her lip and looked quickly behind her. What would Beca think?
Chloe heard Aubrey, "Well I hope you all remember the way you feel right, so you will never want to feel this way again."
Chloe sighed and walked to the side. She looked off in the distance, taking deep breaths. She would just jump right in. That's the best way to tell them.
Aubrey walked up to her, "Chloe, your voice didn't sound Aguilerian at all."
Chloe took a breath and turned around, seeing all the Bellas stop in front of the seniors. "Chloe, for serious, what is wrong with you?"
Chloe made eye contact with Beca. She couldn't help but notice that her scarf's knot had found its way to the front of Beca's neck…she looked adorable.
"I have nodes."
Aubrey's mood did a complete 180. "What? Oh my god."
Chloe nodded, "I found out this morning." She felt Aubrey take her hands in comfort…she was always there for the redhead.
"What are nodes?" Beca spoke up, slightly confused.
Aubrey looked at her like she was stupid. "Vocal Nodules." Chloe looked at Beca, she could feel her heartbeat quicken.
Aubrey stared at the shorter girl, "The rubbing together of your vocal chords at above average rates without proper lubrication."
Chloe nodded and bit her lip, trying not to look pathetic. "They sit on your windpipe and they crush your dreams."
Beca stared at her, "Isn't that painful." She asked confused. "Why would you keep performing?"
Chloe gave a small smile, kept eye contact with Beca. "Because I love to sing."
Stacie looked at Beca, "Yeah, it's like when my lady doctor told me not to have sex for six weeks, but I did it anyway."
Beca's eyes never tore away from Chloe's. Chloe felt pathetic as Beca gave her a look of pity, and sympathy. Chloe bit her lip again, she wanted to go over to Beca and hug her…have the shorter girl just whisper small nothings in her ear to comfort her.
Fat Amy leaned forward to look at Stacie, "You should really listen to your doctor."
Stacie shrugged, "Meh." She through a wink down at Beca, who raised an eyebrow. "Besides, I had enough fun."
Chloe opened her mouth, but no words came out. She wasn't exactly sure what to say. Why did every one hit on Beca? Probably the same reason why she did…
Chloe took a deep breath, "Well I can only give so much for my singing. I'll try as hard as I can. But I can't guarantee anything…because of my nodes."
Aubrey nodded. Fat Amy frowned. "Aw. Well at least it's not herpes."
Chloe looked at Fat Amy, not sure what to think about her. She was completely serious. Aubrey gave Fat Amy a look also. Beca tried not to smile, and succeeded fairly well. Beca looked up.
Fat Amy frowned at the lack of answer, "Or…do you have that as well?"
Nobody said anything towards Fat Amy, unsure whether or not she was kidding or being serious.
Aubrey looked at everyone, prepared to give a speech. But she sent a glance back at Chloe, who kept eye contact with Beca. Aubrey sighed, "Well. We'll call it today. You can all go home now, but tomorrow. Practice at 1 p.m. Don't be late."
They all walked away, Beca lingered for a moment, hesitant. But then she turned and followed after Fat Amy, chuckling and laughing about God knows what. Chloe sighed and rubbed her neck.
Aubrey gave her a small, sad smile. "Don't worry, you'll get through this."
Chloe smiled at her, "I have awesome friends, I know I will."
They started walking behind the group, each noticing how Beca walked away from them to go off in a completely different direction. Aubrey looked at Chloe from the corner of her eyes.
"So…you and Beca getting pretty close?"
Chloe blushed a little, "Well. She looked like she needed a friend. I was happy to oblige."
Aubrey smirked at her, "A little more than happy, so it seems."
Chloe blinked, "What's that supposed to mean."
Aubrey just laughed at her and linked arms with the ginger, ignoring her question. "Come on, let's get you to the apartment. I'll make you some soup."
01010101010101010
Chloe was lounging around on the couch, eating the soup that Aubrey had made for her. She had changed into some sweats and a t-shirt. She had the rest of the day off, so why dress up nice?
Aubrey was next to her, watching tv with the ginger. Both of their heads shot up when they heard a knock at their door. They rarely had any visitors, so it was a surprise for them. Aubrey patted Chloe's leg and smiled at her, motioning that she would get the door.
Aubrey stood and opened the door, then blinked at who it was. "Beca?"
Chloe almost gagged on her soup, she shot Aubrey a look, which she gave her a more than confused look back. Chloe quick fixed her hair, and scowled down at what she was wearing. It would have to do.
Beca gave an awkward wave to Aubrey. "Uh…hi."
Aubrey blinked again, but cleared her voice, "What…what are you doing here?"
Beca half smiled, "I came to check on Chloe, to see if she was ok and shit…"
Aubrey, usually disapproves of foul language, didn't seem to mind when Beca had said that. She nodded and stepped aside for the very short brunette to come in. Beca walked in and looked around, finding Chloe's fiery red hair pretty easily.
Chloe beamed at Beca and stood up, "Hey! What are you doing here?"
Chloe locked eyes with Aubrey, and motioned for her to go to her room, using nothing but her eyes. Aubrey smirked at her and nodded. Beca seemed oblivious to the two of them.
The brunette walked over to Chloe, Which Chloe decided to hug her. Beca tensed, but relaxed and hugged her back. Chloe blinked, this was the first time that Beca actually hugged back, instead of patted her back.
Beca stepped back and awkwardly smiled at Chloe, "Well, I just came here to see if you were alright…you looked kind of upset earlier."
Chloe grinned at Beca, "Awwww was the great Beca Mitchell worrying about me?"
Beca coughed and looked away from Chloe, "Maybe a little…"
Chloe plopped down on the couch again, patting the seat next to her. Beca sat on the opposite end of the couch. Chloe frowned, so she decided to move closer. Much closer.
Chloe noted how Beca looked uncomfortable with someone being in her personal space, but she didn't vocalize her uncomfortableness. Chloe put a hand on Beca's leg, to which the brunette just stared at it.
"Don't worry Beca, I'm ok. It'll go away after a while, I just have to take it easy with the singing, and what not."
Beca nodded and smiled at Chloe, getting used to the touchy-feely part of the ginger. "Well I'm glad to hear that."
Chloe smiled and pointed to the tv, "Do you watch a lot of tv?"
Beca looked at the screen, which was playing comedy central. "Um, no actually."
Chloe half expected that answer, so she laughed. "Geez, what do you do in your spare time then?"
Beca smirked at her, and shrugged. "I kill people. I'm a serial killer."
Chloe laughed and decided to risk it for the biscuit. She leaned herself against Beca and cuddled into to her. Beca tensed, but relaxed after a second or three.
She looked down at Chloe, who gave Beca her best puppy dog eyes combined with a look of innocence. Beca sighed. "Have I told you that you have a habit of invading other people's personal space?"
Chloe nodded her head vigorously, "Once or twice, but don't worry. It's just your personal space." Chloe winked at Beca who smiled at her and chuckled.
They sat in silence, watching tv for a good half hour or so until Aubrey came and sat down with them. Then, for the next hour and a half, the three of them laughed and watched tv in a comfortable manner. Once in a while, Aubrey would look over at Chloe, who smirked at Aubrey in return.
All Aubrey did was shake her head, small smile in place.
Beca got up after a long while, much to Chloe's disappointment, and smiled at the two of them.
"Well dudes, thank you so much for letting me stay for a bit. It was nice…"
Aubrey was the one who answered, shockingly. "You're very welcome Beca. Despite the fact that it was you who came over, it was nice to have some company."
Beca gave her a half smile, "Glad I could help."
Chloe whined, "Do you have to leave? Couldn't you stay for a while longer?"
Beca chuckled, "I wish, but I have some homework to do."
Aubrey raised an eyebrow. "I didn't peg you to being someone who does their homework."
Beca awkwardly smirked at her, something that only Beca could manage to do Chloe noted. "Well I do need to pass this year to get to L.A."
Chloe giggled, and stood up to walk Beca to the door. Aubrey managed a small wave goodbye. Chloe opened the door for Beca to leave.
"It was really nice of you to come over, Beca." She smiled at the younger girl.
Beca smiled back, looking into Chloe's eyes. "Well, you looked like you needed it."
Chloe felt her ears get a tiny bit red, as she stared at the dark blue eyes studying her. She felt like she could get lost in those eyes. She blushed a little bit and broke eye contact.
Chloe hugged Beca, gently. And quite possibly a little longer than she wanted too. But once she touched Beca, she felt like she was glued to her. She didn't want to let go, ever. She could smell Beca's shampoo and conditioner in her hair…ocean breeze. It was definitely ocean breeze.
She reluctantly let go of Beca. "You have no idea how much it means to me." She blew Beca a kiss as the girl turned to walk away.
"Hope you get better, Chloe."
Chloe smiled, she loved the way Beca said her name. She wished that she would say her name more often. The redhead closed the door and kept her hand on the handle for a second. She could feel her butterflies start to go away slowly. She took a breath.
She turned and walked back to her place on the couch next to Aubrey who gave her a knowing smile, which she ignored. She couldn't help but miss the brunette that was sitting next to her, being held by the redhead nothing more than five minutes ago.
Chloe blinked and felt her phone go off in her pocket. She opened it, and read who it was from. Beca.
Beca - 'I'm glad I could cheer you up a little bit.'
Chloe instantly smiled. She responded fairly quickly.
Chloe – 'Thank you for that! :) You are always welcome here, no matter the time :)'
Chloe reread the text, and sent it. She put her phone down but wasn't expecting an answer for at least five minutes. She was surprised, but delighted, when her phone vibrated almost instantly. She opened Beca's text and read.
Beca – 'I might take you up on that offer one day.'
Chloe smiled, ignoring Aubrey's glance at her.
Chloe – 'Please do ;) I have extra space in my room if you ever need a night to get away from Kimmy Jin.'
Chloe thought that she might have been pushing it a little too much, but whatever. She's gotta do something to catch this girls eye. After all, she really wants to be close friends with Beca. Her phone vibrated.
Beca – 'That was the most tempting thing anyone has ever said to me. I'm pretty sure Kimmy Jin wants to murder me.'
Chloe giggled to herself. Once again, ignoring Aubrey's glance, which lasted a tad longer this time.
Chloe – 'Lol Oh she totes wants too'
Beca – 'Thanks for your two cents. Now I'm totally not afraid for my life or anything.'
Chloe – 'No problem dude ;)'
Beca – 'You nerd. Dude is pretty much my word.'
Chloe – 'Lol okay I'll keep that in mind dude :)'
Beca – '…uncool'
Chloe – 'You make me smile Beca Mitchell'
Beca – 'I told you I was a comedian :]'
Chloe – 'You're right, I'm sorry I doubted you :P'
Their conversation continued for over a couple hours after that. Chloe had laughed almost too much that night, much to Aubrey's annoyance. Chloe just smiled, she didn't' care.
001010101010101010101
Chloe had a mission today. Find Beca Mitchell, and hang out with that girl. She had this plan for the day, and she was going to go through with it. Chloe had an idea of where she would be, based off of previous attempts at finding her.
She figured Beca would either be on the quad, or in her room. And if she's not at either of those places, then she would check the showers. But the last one would be wishful thinking on her part. She was pretty sure she would find Beca at one of the first two places.
Which, of course, Chloe was right.
Beca was sitting cross legged with her laptop open in front of her, right on the quad. She had a scarf on and a long sleeved dark blue shirt on. Her dark jeans and boots accompanying her outfit. Chloe smiled to herself, imagining Beca's dark blue eyes being brought out by the top she wore today.
Chloe was about to go up to Beca and start a conversation, when Jesse hand magically appeared behind the brunette. He tossed a juice pouch at her, which she caught, and laid down a blanket beside her.
Chloe narrowed her eyes.
Damn that boy.
She merely stood back, watching the two of them interact. Beca was smiling and laughing, much like she smiled and laughed with Chloe. It was endearing, but also a little angering. Chloe felt familiar jealousy swarm inside her, but quickly pushed it down. She had no reason to be jealous for her friend.
She felt a little bit like a stalker watching the two of them converse but she hardly cared. She did what she wanted too. No stopping her.
After a while, she noticed that Beca had dropped her smile and asked something. She wasn't sure what, but whatever Jesse had said, had provoked Beca to stand up and bid him a fair good bye, taking all her things a long with her. Jesse laughed, shook his head and packed up all the things he brought with him.
Chloe's eyes followed Beca as the girl pulled out her phone and started to text someone. A minute later, Chloe felt her phone go off. She smiled as she saw it was from Beca.
Beca – 'What's the riff-off?'
Chloe smiled and didn't bother to answer, she merely jogged over to Beca and snuck up behind her. It was really easy to be quiet, seeing as Beca had her headphones on again. Chloe covered Beca's eyes, feeling her tense quite suddenly.
She removed one of the headphones, "The riff-off is pretty much a sing off."
She grinned as Beca flew around, eyes wide, and stared at her. "Jesus Chloe! You scared the shit outta me!"
Chloe laughed and linked arms with Beca, "What? You've never had anyone do that to you before?"
Beca shook her head no, a little too vigorously. "No!"
Chloe giggled and squeezed Beca's arm, noticing the girl didn't tense up like she usually does. She shook her head, "Well I'm going to start doing that to you from now on."
Beca laughed, "I feel like even if I ask you not to do it, you're going to do it anyway."
Chloe winked at Beca, "Bingo."
Beca smiled at her, then turned her attention forward again. Chloe looked around, seeing Beca's dorm building a short distance away.
"Going back to you're place?"
Beca nodded, placing her headphones around her neck, Chloe bit her lip. She looked pretty bad ass with those things on…
"Mind if I hang with you for a while?"
Beca shot her a half smile, "Well I was actually planning on just crashing when I get there…"
Chloe smiled at her, "Well I don't mind sleeping with you."
Beca laughed and raised an eyebrow suggestively. Chloe felt her face heat up, but she winked at Beca anyway. "Not like that! But if you want too I'm up for it."
This time, it was Beca who blushed and laughed. Chloe mentally grinned, considering it as a win. Beca shook her head, "Yeah sure go ahead."
Chloe bit her lip and giggled, shooting Beca one of her dazzling smiles. The two entered Beca's dorm. Chloe plopped herself on the short girl's bed and snuggled into the blankets. She could smell Beca all over the place, it was driving her crazy.
Beca set her laptop down gently at her desk and inquisitively raised an eyebrow at Chloe. Chloe just smiled and patted the bed beside her.
Beca looked at her. "You know the bed is a little small for two people…"
Chloe shrugged and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear, "I don't mind cuddling with you" She finished by smiling at Beca.
Beca hesitated for a moment. Chloe couldn't wait any longer so she grabbed Beca's wrist and pulled her down with her in the bed. Beca laid on her back, a little tense. Chloe draped one of her arms over Beca's midsection, and laid her head right above Beca's heart. She could hear it beat. She closed her eyes and listened to the it thud softly.
She felt, and heard Beca chuckle as the girl relaxed into her touch. "You know…you have a nasty habit of making yourself at home too."
Chloe snuggled deeper into Beca, not minding her own heart beating faster or the butterflies in her stomach. "Yeah, I know. Just another one of my charms I guess."
She felt Beca chuckle again. "Yeah I guess you're right."
Chloe blushed when she heard Beca say that. Her eyes slowly started to get heavier, and after what seemed like forever…she drifted off to a very comfortable slumber.

AWWWWW YYEEEAAAAHHH! Finally establishing some intimacy between Beca and Chloe. It'll get even better later on…I hope. Not much happened in this chapter. Except now that Beca and Chloe are actually texting each other. Which is also good. I want to incorporate Aubrey as much as possible, along with the other Bellas. All of their relationships are just so unique that they shouldn't be left out.
AND yes…I'm going to make Beca get hit on by a lot of people, just to add to the humor that I somehow added to the story without knowing. Chloe will definitely notice. Beca however, won't notice that much. It'll get interesting I hope.
