3RD POV

It had been two days since Chloe went over to Beca's, two days since she first read the letter, and two days since she talked to Aubrey. Chloe had been staying at Beca's, and she was doing her best to avoid the blonde. She was sitting on the couch in the living room, going through her emails when Beca walked out.

"Hey, you're up early."

"Just got a lot on my mind."

"Aubrey?"

Chloe grumbled.

"I know it's not my place, but maybe you should talk to her."

"Not gonna happen. And if you're sick of me staying here I can go to the studio."

Beca frowned and sat next to the girl, "Chlo," she rested her hand on the girl's thigh. "You know you're always welcome here, and I'm not trying to get rid of you. I just don't want to see you lose a friend like Aubrey. Sure she messed up, but she had good intentions."

Chloe frowned at the girl, "she kept something important from me, I just need space. And I'm sorry about what I just said, I'm just still a little upset."

"Don't worry about it."

Chloe grinned and leaned in for a quick kiss. They still hadn't figured out what they wanted to do, but they knew they both loved each other, so neither were worried about labelling things.

"Look I have to go get Payton, so I'll be gone for a while, but if you're up for it, maybe the three of us can go get some frozen yogurt later."

Chloe smiled and nodded and Beca kissed the girl's cheek before grabbing her purse and keys and heading out the door.


Taking advantage of the first time Beca was gone, Chloe decided to take a long shower. She needed time to relax. She stepped in the hot shower and sighed as she felt the warm water hit her back. She could feel her muscles relax, and she closed her eyes and tilted her head back to let the water hit her face. By the time Chloe finally finished her shower, she was surprised that Beca hadn't gotten back.

The shower helped her relax, but when she went to check her phone to see the time, she was reminded of why she needed to relax. Thirteen messages and ten missed calls from Aubrey. She rolled her eyes and ignored the blonde's messages. Then she noticed she had a message from Beca.

From Beca: hey, there's a shit ton of traffic today, I probably won't be back for an hour, I'll probably bring back lunch, what would you like?

Chloe looked at the time stamp 11:30 and then at her phone 11:45, damn, she thought. She tapped out a reply and then began to change.


It took an hour for Beca to finally get to Jesse's. She knocked on the door and was greeted by her daughter, "mommy!"

"Hi cutie, how are you," Beca said as she picked the girl up.

"Good."

"Good! And how's dad?"

"Icky."

"Icky? Well that's not good." She set her daughter down and walked into the apartment to see Jesse lying on the couch with a bowl of popcorn. "Thought I smelled popcorn."

"Hey, Bec."

"Geez you look awful."

"Thanks, that's what I want to hear."

"Look I don't want to keep Payton here longer than she needs to be, you need your rest, and she needs to not get sick."

Jesse nodded as he coughed into his arm, "thanks for getting her, again."

"No problem, feel better dude."

With that Beca was out the door with Payton. Before she started the car, she checked her phone to see if Chloe responded.

From Chloe: surprise me!

Beca nodded to herself before turning around to Payton who was in the back seat, "Pay, honey, what do you want for lunch?"

"Mac n Cheese!"

"Are you sure?"

The little girl nodded, and Beca turned around and started the car. The traffic seemed to have calmed down, so the trip to the grocery store was quick. Instead of getting frozen food, Beca decided she would make lunch at home. Once she got all of the ingredients she was back into the car on the way back to the house.


Chloe was exhausted. Not physically, but mentally. Everything she'd been through with Aubrey was tiring. She was trying to figure everything out, but she was becoming too stressed, and before she knew it, she was asleep on the couch.


When Beca and Payton got home it was around one o'clock. Payton ran inside and Beca grabbed the bags. Beca was about to call for her daughter to not run when she saw Payton sitting on the couch looking at her with her finger pressed to her lip.

Curious, Beca quietly at the bags down and walked around the island to see Chloe passed out on the couch. She smiled when she saw the girl, and quickly grabbed a pillow and a blanket. She gently lifted the redhead's head and placed the pillow under it. Beca figured Chloe was tired since she managed to not wake her up. She grabbed the blanket and laid it over the girl before going back to the kitchen to start lunch.


Chloe woke up to the smell of macaroni and cheese, and when she opened her eyes she saw Beca and Payton sitting across from her eating their food.

"Morning sunshine," Beca greeted her. "Sleep well?"

"I did actually," she sat up and finally noticed the blanket Beca had given her. "Did you do this," she asked raising her arms that are wrapped up in the blanket.

Beca nodded as she disagreed her bite of food, "I also put that pulls under your head. I've slept on that couch many times, without the pillow you would've wrote up with awful aches and pains."

Chloe smiled, "thanks, Becs."

"Anytime, Chlo."

Beca walked over and set the bowl of noodles on the coffee table, "so what tired you out?"

Chloe shook her head, "I honestly have no idea."

"Well, if you figure it out, I'm always here to talk to."

Chloe smiled at the younger girl and started to eat her food.


It was around two o'clock when Beca put Payton down for a nap, and the brunette couldn't help but notice something was off with the redhead, so she decided to find take advantage of their alone time and talk to her.

"Hey, Chlo. What's bugging you?"

Chloe groaned, "this shit with Aubrey, she won't leave me alone."

"She's your best friend. If I were her I would be doing the same thing after fucking up that badly."

Chloe chuckled and kissed Beca's hand before sighing, "I have to talk to her about this don't I?"

"I think it would help."

"Then I guess I will call her and schedule something."

Beca nodded, "I'm here for you, Chlo. Just remember that, okay? I'm not leaving this time."

The older girl gave her a quick peck on the lips before getting up to call the blonde.


"Chloe? Is that you? I'm so-"

"We need to talk," the redhead interrupted. "Meet me at the studio after it closes and we'll talk."

Aubrey could barely mutter out a response before Chloe hung up.


Chloe walked back into the living room, and Beca looked up from her phone, "hey how'd it go?"

Chloe shrugged, "alright I guess, we are meeting around 6 at the studio to talk."

"Do you want me to drive you there? It's not far from the park, or any food places, so Payton and I can go play and then grab food and come get you when you're ready to leave."

"I think I will walk there," the girl sighed. "It will give me time to think."

"Okay, well I refuse to let you walk here alone at night, so at least let me pick you up when you're done, and we can go out for dinner."

"Beca, you don't have to do that."

"I want to, and besides, you know I won't take no for an answer, Beale."

With a sigh of defeat, the girl nodded, "okay."

"Okay," Beca smiled before getting up and wrapping the girl in a hug and a soft kiss. "You got this babe."


It was five thirty, so Chloe had left to go to the studio. Beca spent the time getting her and Payton cleaned up for dinner.


It was was a quick walk to the studio, luckily the last class had ended early, so Chloe was able to spend time alone in her office, organizing her thoughts.

She managed to organize her schedule for the next week and get a couple of questions in her head when she heard a knock on the door.

"Yeah. Come in."

Aubrey slowly walked in and Chloe saw her best friend for the first time since she left.

"You look awful."

"I feel awful."

"Well you kind of should, Bree."

"Chloe I'm so sorry, it was wrong of me to not tell you about the letter or Beca coming by, but I did it for you."

"How did you do it for me? You should've told me. The letter was to me, it should've been my choice whether or not to read it, but I never got it. I get why you didn't want Beca to talk to me, but keeping the letter? I would never do that to you. No matter how much pain you would be in, I would at least make you aware of what happened."

Aubrey bowed her head, "I'm sorry. I thought it was best to let you move on. She broke your heart whether she knew it or not, and I didn't want her to get the chance to break it again."

"Well that wasn't your choice to make in my life, Bree."

"I know I'm sorry."

"Were you ever going to give it to me?"

The blonde shrugged, "I don't know. You were so happy with Tom, or at least you seemed like it. You just looked like you'd moved on, I figured it was irrelevant."

Chloe scoffed, "and look where we are now."

Aubrey's eyes began to tear up, "I'm so sorry Chloe. I thought I was protecting you. I thought I could spare your heart from more pain. I know I screwed up, but I miss my best friend."

"I miss mine too," Chloe said softly.

"So you forgive me?"

There was a long pause.

"Yes," Chloe said. "Your intentions were good, but the way you did it, could've been better. I get why you did it."

Aubrey's face cracked a smile, "so you'll come back?"

"I never said that."

"Bu-"

"I forgive you, but what you did. It still hurt. I need some space, I'm still upset. I'll be back eventually, but right now I need space to come cool off, okay?"

Aubrey nodded and walked towards the girl and offered her a hug. Chloe smiled and accepted the hug and the blonde broke the silence, "thank you for letting me explain."

Chloe nodded.

"I guess I'll see you later."

"Yeah, I'll see you later."

After Aubrey left, Chloe texted Beca and decided to spend the wait going over her plans and doing paperwork. By the time Beca and Payton arrived, Chloe was finishing up paperwork from a parent submitting their child's information for her new class starting next month.


"Knock knock," Beca said as she and Payton walked into the dance studio.

"Hey," Chloe smiled as she looked up from her work.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah," she nodded. "Let me just file these away."

"Sure thing, I'm just gonna go wait in the car with Payton, come out when you're ready."

"Thanks, Bec. I'll be out shortly."


Chloe put her papers away and grabbed her things, locked her office door, and locked up the studio, then she went to meet Beca in the car.

"Hey," the brunette smiled.

"Hi."

"Hi Miss. B!"

"Hey, Pay," Chloe smiled and turned around to wave at her."

"So how'd it go?"

"Good."

"Awesome."

"So what's for dinner?"

"Do you like greek food?"

"Yes," Chloe nodded.

"Then greek food it is! I know a great place down the road."

"Sounds great," the older girl smiled.
