A/N: I forgot to mention… Yes, Natasha is Natasha Romanoff lol but minus the fighting skills.
On with the story…
Beca wasn't really a fan of flying so she slept during the whole flight. When she got out of the plane, she prepared herself for her new life. She's still nostalgic about the events in New York but she knows she'll move on eventually. She wanted to text Natasha but she thought that it would be too soon. She switched off the airplane mode and there were still no new messages. It's not like she was expecting messages or missed calls from Chloe…ok maybe she was.
Beca got her luggage and went down the escalator. She reached for the paper, with the address of her apartment written on it, in her pocket.
"Okay, I'll just get a cab. Then eat. Then sleep," Beca said to herself. She wore her sunglasses and headed for the exit when someone had bumped into her. The woman dropped her stuff and Beca helped her get them.
"I'm so sorry. Let me help you with-" Beca stopped and recognized the woman standing in front of her. She widened her eyes as she took off her sunglasses, "Chloe? What are you doing here?"
Chloe stood up after collecting her things. She looked nervous, "Let me explain."
Chloe was sitting by the bar and she couldn't help but look at Beca talking to Natasha. She felt a pang of jealousy. She knew it wasn't right but after that weekend at the beach, she couldn't stop thinking about Beca. She decided to postpone the wedding because she needed to figure things out. She was confused. Everytime she looks at Krista, she sees Beca. She didn't get why Beca decided to leave all of a sudden but she did know that working in LA was what Beca wanted more than anything.
"Hey, you alright?" Krista stood beside her.
Chloe looked away from Beca who was laughing to what Natasha had said, "Yeah." She gave her a small smile.
Krista glanced at Beca then back at her girlfriend. She sighed and then her phone rang, "I'll be right back." She kissed her girlfriend's cheek and went out.
Chloe couldn't take her eyes off Beca all night. The party was over and Chloe looked for Beca around the club but there was no sign of the brunette. With that, she knew where Beca would be. And she was right, she saw the brunette at the rooftop holding a glass of scotch.
She smiled and asked, "What brings you up here?" Beca turned her head and smiled widely. Chloe's heart melted.
Their conversation went well. Chloe was about to tell her but she wanted to make sure that Beca didn't ask Natasha out yet.
"Well, she gave me her number. That's a start. She's pretty amazing," Beca said with a smile.
With that, Chloe decided not to tell her about how she felt. She let out a small smile and looked away. After a few minutes of silence, Beca started talking about a different girl. At the back of her head she was hoping that it was her but she didn't want to make assumptions. And when they kissed, Chloe was caught off guard. She took the opportunity to kiss her back and it felt amazing. It was a kiss that she hadn't felt when she kissed Krista. It felt right. But when Beca pulled away, she was completely speechless. It was definitely the right time to tell Beca but part of her didn't want to. She didn't want to make things complicated and if she told her, Beca would stay and give up her dream job in LA.
Watching Beca walk away hurt. Aubrey held her arms but she didn't want to talk right now. She wanted to slap herself for letting Beca go.
Krista took her home and she remained silent. Krista took quick glances at her as she drove.
"Are you sure you're fine?" Krista asked with concern.
"Yeah," Chloe deadpanned. She wiped a tear and sniffed.
"I know you're not. You know Beca will still visit. She said so herself."
Chloe sighed and she wanted to vent but telling everything to Krista would definitely break the brunette's heart. She couldn't live this way but in the end, she knew her relationship with Krista wouldn't work. She couldn't love her like she loved Beca.
"I know you'll get mad to what I'm going to say. But I have to let you know," Chloe let out a shaky breath, "I'm in love with someone else."
Krista just nodded and Chloe took it as a sign to continue, "That someone else is Beca."
Krista pulled over and looked at Chloe. Krista looked broken but managed a smile, "Do you want to be with her?"
Chloe pursed her lips and a tear streamed down her face, "Yes." She answered with a cracking voice then bit her lip.
Krista held the steering wheel and sighed. Then she reached for something at the back of car, "Good."
Chloe looked out the window and realized that they were at the airport. She gave her a confused look, "What are we doing here?"
Krista faced Chloe and said, "There's no easy way to say this but Chloe, I'm breaking up with you."
"Krista, I'm sorry-"
"Shh. I know. I think it's obvious you have feelings for Beca ever since. But let me tell you this, nothing's too late. If you love her, she deserves to know because I know she feels the same way. I don't want to be the bad person in your love story so I'm letting you go." Krista placed her hand on the redhead's thigh, "I reserved a ticket for you inside just say my name. Your bags are at the back."
"Krista, you don't have to do this." Chloe took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"Chloe, you deserve to be happy. I know you won't love me the way you love Beca." Krista gave her a sad smile.
Chloe shook her head, "I can't accept this. Why are you even doing this?"
"I can't believe I'm going to say this but 'if you love a person, set them free.'" Krista smiled.
Chloe gave her small smile. She undid her seatbelt and leaned in to kiss Krista on the cheek. They gazed at each other one last time and Krista held back her tears.
"Now go. You don't want to miss your flight," Krista chuckled lightly.
Chloe smiled brightly then got out of the car. Krista helped her with her bag. Chloe pulled her in for a hug and Krista whispered something in her ear.
"Go get her."
Chloe smiled and she felt nervous and excited to see Beca. She was just hoping that Natasha wasn't with her.
Chloe looked down sheepishly and Beca gave her a blank expression. Beca was still processing everything. She had regretted walking out that night but here are they now. She was glad she had another opportunity to talk to her.
"I didn't want to tell you because I knew what you would do. I don't want to be a hindrance in reaching your dreams," Chloe said and she was waiting for Beca to respond, "Please say something."
Beca's frown slowly turned into a smile, "Chloe, I have a lot dreams. One of which is working in LA. But my number one dream is to be with you." She tried to stop the wide smile that was forming on her face.
Chloe slowly smiled, "Then why didn't you ask me out?"
Beca scratched the back of her neck and pursed her lips, "I was too scared. I didn't want to ruin our friendship. I just wanted you to be happy."
"Am I the reason why you're moving here?"
Beca sighed and nodded, "I saw how happy you are with Krista and I couldn't handle my feelings anymore so I decided to move on and have a fresh start."
"Well, Krista broke up with me," Chloe let out a sad smile, "And I want to have a fresh start too." Her smile widened then she looked back at Beca. They gazed at each other for a moment.
"So what now?" Beca asked, not taking her eyes off those bright blue eyes.
Chloe took a step closer and cupped the other girl's cheek, "Come here." She connected their lips. Beca dropped her bags and held Chloe's waist. The kiss escalated quickly and they just got lost in the moment.
Chloe pulled away with a smile and let their foreheads touch, "I know it's pretty soon to say this but," She searched for Beca's dark blue eyes, "I love you."
Beca looked at her with a wide smile, "I love you too." She gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
"By the way, I need a place to stay and I was thinking-"
Beca cut her off. "You're moving in with me already? Don't you think that's a bit fast, Beale?" She raised her eyebrow then laughed sarcastically.
"Shut up, Mitchell." Chloe kissed her again. Beca smiled into the kiss.
At first Beca thought she was only dreaming but it was definitely real. And she was happy to know that she was starting her new life in LA with Chloe. Sure it took a while for Chloe to realize she had feelings for Beca but deep inside, Chloe knew she wasn't too late. Beca told herself that Chloe was definitely worth the wait.

A/N: Alright! I finally have a finished multi-chapter story. lol Of course, they deserved a happy ending.
