Chapter six

Hopefully the chapters will be coming out quicker, better and longer (: I noticed that the last few chapters are lacking in those areas, so I hope to improve them for you all. I'm so so sorry that is has taken so long for me to update this fic. Senior year has been a lot more full on then I had expected and at the moment I'm studying for a lot of my major exams and my QCS test. It's a lot to do.

Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this chapter.

Again, thank you to everyone who has kept reading despite my lack of posting.

Reminder, if anyone is interested, I have a tumblr, it's .com

Recap of the last chapter

Chloe brought her face closer to Aubrey's "She fucking cuts herself, her bracelets hide her fucking cuts." Chloe lowered her voice, whilst still getting mad at Aubrey.

The pair was disrupted by a gasp that came from across the room. Beca was still in her seat, looking as white as a ghost from what she had just heard. Before anything could be said Beca was on her feet, running for the door, her eyes stinging from tears 'fuck fuck fuck fuck' was all that was running through her head.

Beca found herself intently listening to her converse slapping against the concrete footpath below her as she was sprinting back to her dorm, her eyes stinging from trying to hold back tears. She slammed open the door to her dorm building, climbing up 4 flights of stairs, taking two at a time before reaching her door. She ripped open her bag and started rifling through it to find her key, after fumbling to get the key to fit through the lock she finally tore open her door and made a beeline for her bed. She sat in her unmade bed for hours crying and replaying what had just happened in her head, not being able to believe that Chloe had actually told Aubrey.

As she began tracing the pattern on her phone to unlock it as a quaint knock came from outside her door. She froze in her place; it could only be one person… Chloe…

'I'm sorry' rang through the room and echoed through Beca's mind. Whilst having her head buried in her hands, she felt Chloe take a step towards her; she took her head out of her hands to see that Chloe had an arm extended, about to comfort her.

"Don't." She said as she brought her knees to her chest, pulling herself even further away from the redhead.

"Beca, just listen to me, please." Chloe pleaded, she needed this… She needed Beca…

"Give me one good reason why I should." She said as she wiped away the tears that were now rolling down her cheeks.

Chloe was lost, there wasn't a single reason why she should listen; Chloe had stuffed up big time.

A silence had settled in whilst Chloe stared at the floor wracking her brain for a response. After giving Chloe a lengthy amount of time to think, she looked up to her,

"Exactly, that's what I fucking thought. There isn't a single fucking reason why I should listen; there isn't one single reason why I should be giving you the time of fucking day." She said as she stood up to sit at her computer; leaving Chloe standing in the middle of the room by herself.

Whilst Beca's back was turned Chloe stepped forwards and sat herself on Beca's bed, placing her elbows on her knees and her face in her hands.

"I – I know I've exhausted the word, but I am sorry, I really am." Chloe began to cry.

"I fucked up and I know it. I just wanted Aubrey to lay off of you. I know that I shouldn't have told her" Chloe said as she wiped tears away.

"You promised you wouldn't." Beca said whilst staring at her blank computer screen.

"I just wanted to help. The last thing I wanted to do was to hurt you. You mean too much to me. I honestly was just trying to help and I put my foot in it. I wanted to make you hurt less and instead I made you hurt more." Chloe's sleeves were drenched with her tears now.

Chloe looked up, a look of horror spread across her face. "Oh God, no, I didn't make you, I didn't make you do it did I?"

Beca froze. To be honest she couldn't remember if she had or not.

Chloe was now crying even harder. "Oh God I'm such an idiot. I'm now the reasons behind someone's scars on their body. I'm an awful person." With that Chloe got up off of Beca's bed and headed for the door.

Beca swivelled around on her computer chair and signalled for Chloe to stay. "Chlo, no, you're not. I didn't I promise."

"Really?" She dried her tears. "You're totally just saying that to make me feel better" She reached for the handle of the door.

"No I didn't. Here I'll prove it to you." Beca said as she picked herself up off of her chair and made her way over to Chloe. Beca began to pull up her sleeve, praying that she actually hadn't. Chloe lunged forward to peer at the cuts covering Beca's arm, gasping at the sheer amount of them and how deep they appeared to be. Chloe's eyes began to tear up again at the obvious sight of how much her dear friend was hurting.

"What?" Beca questioned.

Before Chloe could answer Beca had come to the realisation that Chloe had only seen her thigh and that she had planned on not showing her arm. "Fuck," Beca said as she tugged her sleeves down. "Fuck, fuck, fuck..." Beca trailed off as she threw herself back down onto her computer chair and put her head into her hands. "I'm the biggest fucking idiot" Beca said under her breath.

Chloe sat herself down on the end of Beca's bed and turned her chair around so they were facing each other. She took Beca's hands into her own and intertwined their fingers. "Beca, please just calm down, you aren't an idiot, I am. And please don't hate me for any of this; I was honestly trying to help. But, most of all, please don't regret telling me any of this; it really does mean the world to me that you've opened up to me and I really hope that I haven't ruined our friendship for us."

Chloe paused to look down at her hands and how Beca's hand fitted so perfectly in her own.

"I know that I have hurt you and I know that what I did was incredibly wrong, but is there any possible way that you could forgive me?" She said still staring down at their pair of hands.

"Because Beca, I don't know what I would do without you in my life. Since that first day that I invaded your shower space at the beginning of the year, you have become a big part of my life and I never want to lose you." Chloe said as she brought her gaze up to meet Beca's smoky blue eyes.

Beca didn't know what to think, she did want to forgive Chloe but at the same time she was still hurt by what she had done.

"I- I…" Beca started, not knowing where this was going." I don't know. I really don't. I trusted you and you went right ahead and let me down Chlo. I don't know if I can trust you again."

Chloe began to cry. She pulled her hands away to wipe away her tears.

"I'm sorry Chloe; I just don't think that I can do it." Beca was starting to feel bad.

Chloe's eyes met Beca's once again; the look of sorrow and apology plagued throughout them.

"Well I guess this is goodbye to our friendship." Chloe sighed as she picked herself up and lead her to the door, "Just know that if you ever need anything, I'm here for you, whatever time of the day or night, I'm a phone call away."

She still had her back to Beca, reaching out for the door handle. "and know that I'll be forever be apologising for fucking this up and know that most of all that I love you and that I care about you." Chloe stood, leaning against the door frame, looking down at her hands, twirling her thumbs. As she looked up, Beca slowly swivelled around on her computer chair with tears welling in her eyes.

"Oh God, oh God what I have done now, I didn't mean to I swear!" Chloe exclaimed as she hurried and kneeled in front of the Brunettes chair. Beca put her hands up to her mouth, staring blankly ahead, not giving anything away in her facial expression.

"There's nothing wrong, you didn't do anything." She reassured her. Chloe looked at her puzzled, yet she was relieved that she hadn't caused her friend any more pain.

"I – just - no one has told me that they'd loved me before… Even if it was just in a friendly way..." Tears began to roll down her cheek; Chloe brought up a hand to wipe them away.

"Hun" Chloe stood up to take Beca into a tight embrace. Beca willingly stood up and buried her head between Chloe's head and chest. For a few moments they stood there just like that, content with it all as Beca sobbed into Chloe's chest, whilst Chloe used one hand to pull Beca's waist as close to hers and possible and her other to run through Beca's hair, trying to calm her down.

After a few moments of being in Chloe's embrace, she had managed to calm down. "Ugh Chloe Beale." She removed herself from Chloe and took a few steps forward.

"What?" She spun around to face Beca, with a confused look on her face.

"Is it possible to stay mad at you?" Beca sighed.

Chloe beamed. "Oh yes. Many people have vendettas out against me."

"Hm, well I'd like to know who they are so they can give me hints and tips." Beca smirked.

"Hey, I said I was sorry. I tried to patch the fuck up that I made. You can't possibly hate me for that."

"No, I can't and that's the problem." She began to laugh

Chloe took a giant step towards Beca and scooped her up into a hug. "Ahh I'm so glad you're laughing."

"Uhh yeah, it's kind of this thing that us humans do. It's great you should try it sometime." Beca poked Chloe in the ribs with her elbow.

"Oh stop it Mitchell, we both know that I am the Queen of laughter around here." She stood taller, putting her shoulders back and lifting her chin.

"Oh, okay Beale. I see how it is." Beca stood with her arms crossed, trying to stand as tall as she could.

"Oh naw, you look so cute with your arms crossed and making a pouty face." Chloe said as she pinched Beca's right cheek.

"Ow… My cheek..." Beca exclaimed and Chloe removed her hand from her face.

As soon as she had removed her hand she saw why Beca had exclaimed her pain; in place of Chloe's forefinger and thumb was a big red mark covering Beca's cheek.

"Aww, I'm sorry. Here let me kiss it better for you." Chloe said as she slightly lent down to plant a kiss on Beca's cheek.

Beca's heart stopped as she felt the velvety softness touch her cheek and as she inhaled she took in a waft of Chloe's perfume; all previous thoughts had now been forgotten as her thoughts were now plagued by this ginger standing in front of her. As Chloe removed her lips from Beca's cheek, she slowly stood back up again; keeping her eyes locked with Beca's; much longer than either of them cared to know. The look of lust was evident in Beca's eyes and Chloe would have had to be blind not to see it, but she would have been lying if she didn't feel the same way. Chloe searched Beca's eyes, her face for a single clue or hint as to what she should do next. But luckily she didn't have to do anything, because Beca had noticed the hunger and the lust in Chloe's eyes that she could feel in her own. So ever so slowly Beca stood up on tippy toes and leaned forward so she was level with Chloe and ever so slowly the brought her lips to meet Chloe's in a soft, tender kiss.

A/N: And that's the end of this chapter! WHOOO Tbh, I have no idea when the next one will be out, so if you guys just harass me like you did with this chapter, it will be out sooner. Also I'm not sure if I'm going to write any smut in this fic, if that's a thing that you guys want just let me know and I might make that happen. Again I would just like to thank everyone who has kept reading despite my lack of updating, school and my personal life have become very hard, so getting time to just chill and write fic is hard at the moment. Nevertheless, I will always come back and update, it just might take me a while! Have a good one guys xx
