AN: Well, hello again, you gorgeous specimens! I feel like I should change the time I told you I would update, because this past week I've been updating at like 3am in Spain, that is 2am in Britain and between 6pm and 9pm the day before in USA, depending on if you live on the west coast or the east coast. I think in Australia it would be like 1pm the same day? I don't know if I'm explaning myself, so I'll put a day for example. Today is already Sunday, so if it's 3 am in Spain, it's 2 am the same day in Britain, between 6 pm and 9 pm on Saturday in USA and like 1 pm on Sunday in Australia. So yeah, like three hours later than I had told you. I'm having a lot of things to do lately, so I'm writting only at 11pm or 12 am in the night. Here you have a new chapter, but before that I'm going to answer your reviews. If you are not interested in reading you can totally skip the rest of the note!
Twin192: As you can see, I've been making the chapters a little longer, so I hope you're happy with it! Also, thank you so much for reading and thinking I'm doing a good work, it really makes me happy!
Maggie417: Dear Maggie, I really have to thank you for your support! I read every review all of you guys leave, but yours are always so encouraging. Thank you so much for following my story and leaving reviews in almost every chapter, it makes my heart grow three sizes! I hope you're liking the length, I know you would prefer them longer but I don't have so much time and I think I better write them not so long but with important stuff that happens instead of making them too long and not telling anything. I don't know if you understand me? Let me know! Also, I really feel sorry for the cliff hangers, but they're so fun to write and just imagine your faces even though I don't know you at all makes me happy because I really can understand how you feel, it's like a love-hate thing, isn't it? I hope you like this chapter and you keep following the story! Oh, and I'm reading "I dare you" too, and I'm liking it a lot!
Jules in Neverland: I already answered you by DM, but I'm gonna do it again here and in English so the rest can actually understand what we're talking about! I'm really happy to see there are other Spanish people in here, I really felt a little lonely! Thank you so much for the tips, by the way. Also, I wanna use this to tell people they should really read your story "Emotionless", it's worth it, guys! She is so good writting it!
Phoenixgrrl: Thank God you don't hate me, because I'll be keeping the cliff hangers! It makes me so happy that you're liking this story so much, it puts a smile on my face! Thank you for reading!
Baybay21: Thank you so much for your support and all the good vibes! And I'm glad you're liking the fast updates, I really do it not just because I want you guys to read all that's on my mind, but because I really hate it when I have to wait 2 or 3 weeks for an update, so I'm triying to be true to my word! The cliff hangers thing... Sorry, but they will stay a little while! Hope you like this chapter, tell me what you think?
RealMEBadass: I'm happy you're liking the story so far and I hope you keep reading!
RJRMovieFan: I'm glad you're liking the way I'm building this story, I don't want to rush into things and I want all the feelings shit to be talked about, so that's what I'm doing! Thank you for reading!
Notsostraightsailor: Don't fall, I won't make you wait long, so the cliff hangers aren't so bad, are they? I love that you're loving the story it makes me wanna keep writting everyday! And I'm happy that you enjoyed the food fight, I thought it would be pretty funny and I laughed a lot while writing it, And, you're welcome with the updates!
Xcombixgirlx: Shit is getting pretty serious, as you can see! And the food fight was really my favourite thing to write, with the "Beca singing Chloe" moment!
"What?" Aubrey left the pen she had in her hand on the table, and focused completely on what Chloe was saying. She heard Chloe sigh through the phone.
"Chloe, what happened?", Aubrey asked kindly.
"Bree, I don't know what's happening with me. I mean, first I kiss her back and now I hear her talking to Amy about some crush and I'm freaking out and that moment in the kitchen-"
"Whoa, Chlo, slow down!", Aubrey said, "I don't get a word, could you start from the begining, please?"
"Sorry, yeah. So, it started this afternoon, I was with the Bellas in the living room and Emily told me to make my brownies, you know, the ones all of you like so much." Aubrey nodded, and noticing Chloe couldn't see her, she said a short "yeah, I know" before Chloe continued. "Anyways, it was Beca's and my turn to make dinner, so I went upstairs to tell her to come to the kitchen with me, and just when I was about to knock, I heard some yelling from inside..." Chloe stayed silent a few seconds, and Aubrey voiced her thoughts.
"Chloe, tell me you didn't..." Aubrey started.
"I couldn't help it, Bree! You know I'm the worst when it comes to know things so..."
"So you did eavesdrop through the door, didn't you?", Aubrey asked, amused.
"I feel so bad, Bree, but yes I did." Chloe said guilty.
"And?" Aubrey asked.
"What? You're not gonna lecture me about how wrong it is to eavesdrop someone's talking?" Chloe asked surprised.
"Chloe, I've been lecturing you for like seven years now, and I'm aca-tired of it because you do it everytime again, so let's save it to both of us and just tell me what the hell you heard, because you heard something, didn't you?" Aubrey told her.
"Well yeah, I mean at first I didn't know what she was talking about but then..." Chloe started.
"So, what did she say?" Aubrey asked with a hint of impatience in her voice.
"Okay so she was talking to Jesse over the phone and they were fighting, I think? Anyways, he was telling her they didn't spend enough time together or something like that I believe, because Beca was aswering things like 'are you angry at me for spending time with my friends'. So I kept eavesdroping and suddently she said something like 'are you seriously telling me your jelaous of Chloe? She's my best friend, of course I want to spend time with her!' And she sounded really angry at him and she basically told him to fuck off for now because she was so angry, so yeah". Chloe finished and took a breath.
"Hmmm", Aubrey started, "So the Treble is jelaous of you because the midget spends more time with you than with him?"
"Yeah, but that's not even the begining, Bree." Chloe said. "She finished talking to Jesse and I knocked and she opened like nothing happened and I didn't ask either, so I just told her if we should make the brownies and she said yes so we went to the kitchen and you know me, Bree, I'm not a serious baker and-"
"And you just throw food at her, right?" Aubrey finished for her.
"You know me too well, Bree!" Chloe said, half laughing. "She was so focused on mixing and I just thought it's now or never so I took the flour and throw it all on her head, you should have seen her face!" Chloe was laughing completely right now, remembering Beca's reaction.
"She didn't get angry at you?" Aubrey asked.
"No", Chloe said, "she thought it would be funny to break an egg on my head". Chloe giggled.
"Oh my God, Chloe, gross!" Aubrey said.
"Yes, gross, but we started a food fight after that, it was the funniest thing, Bree, like we were laughing so hard and the kitchen was a complete mess."
"Did you clean afterwards?" Aubrey asked.
"What kind of question is that?" Chloe said. "Of course we cleaned! Anyways, we were laughing and then Beca grabbed my wrists and we were still laughing and I tried to free my arms but I couldn't and she came nearer and we were looking at each other and..." Chloe lingered and shoot out the last words. "Andwealmostkissedifitweren'tforEmily".
"Wait, what? You what?" Aubrey asked.
"We almost kissed if Emily hadn't walked in in that moment" Chloe blushed.
"Okay, I'm sure that is not something 'just friends' do" Aubrey stated.
"Yeah, but that's not all." Chloe said.
"What? There's more?" Aubrey told her.
"Yes, well, we were a little weird with each other, and after Emily walked in on us she tried to apologize, I think? Anyways, I told her not to worry, I don't know why I said that because of course she should worry, we almost kissed again! So we kept making the brownies and she was like minding her own business and I kept talking to her but she wouldn't answer, so I stood in front of her and brought her back and when I asked what she was thinking about she said 'you', Bree, even if she tried to save her slip but it was so lame I totes knew she was making something up. So after that I put the brownies in the oven and you know our oven is low so I bend to put them in and, Bree, I could literally feel her eyes on me." Aubrey raised her eyebrow on the other side of the line.
"She was looking at you, and?" Aubrey asked.
"She wasn't looking at me, she was loking at my ass! And I catched her because she went red when I called her out on it!" Chloe said excited.
"Oookay... but why are you so happy about it?" Aubrey asked suspicious.
"Am not, I just found it hilarious! But wait, it gets even better, we had dinner and when I went to my room, Beca and Fat Amy were already in theirs, I passed the door and I heard them talking-"
"Please, Chlo, please tell me you didn't eavesdrop them too." Aubrey interrupted.
"I didn't?" Chloe asked innocently.
"You so did! Chloe, you have to stop that, there will be a time when either you get caught or you hear something you really don't want to know!"
Chloe bit her lip guilty when she answered. "I know, I know, and I'm sorry okay?! But I really can't help it! Whatever, they were talking and Beca said something like 'because it would be all real, my obvious crush on her, my feelings and that she maybe could feel the same' and I was like what is going on right now?" Chloe finished her story.
"So long story short, you almost kissed and Beca was talking to Amy about some crush?" Aubrey said.
"Yeah, basically." Chloe answered nodding.
"Okay", Aubrey said, "but what has that all to do with the fact that you think you might like her? I mean, you don't even now if the crush she was talking about is you!" Aubrey stated.
"Ugh, I don't even know when I started feeling this way, Bree! But since the kiss it's like I can't think about anything else, like it's glued in my head! And I hate it but at the same time I don't and... God! I don't know whats going on with me, Bree!" Chloe said on the verge of tears.
"Hey, hey, honey", Aubrey said, "relax, we will work this out, okay? Just relax and think about it, I'll help you in every way I can, you know that."
"I know, Bree, and I love you so much for it... I really miss you here..." Chloe said a little sad.
"Hey, you'll have me there tomorrow and for two days, you just have to sleep tonight and tomorrow we can talk about all of this face to face, okay? Don't stress yourself over it, hon."Aubrey tried to calm her friend.
"What time do you come?" Chloe asked.
"I think I'll be there at eleven, is that okay?"
"Of course, it's more than okay!" Chloe said happy.
"Okay, so is it fine with you if we have lunch together, just the two of us and we talk about this then?" Aubrey asked.
"Yes, thank you so much, Bree. I think I'm going to bed now, I'll see you tomorrow. Love you!" Chloe said.
"See you tomorrow, sleep well. Love you too, Chlo." Aubrey smiled into the phone.
Chloe hung up and put her phone away. She laid down on her bag and put the sheets over her body, staring at the ceiling. After a few minutes, she closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep, what turned out to be harder than she thought. She throw the covers off and stood up, walked to the door and down the stairs. The house was completely dark and she tip toed to the kitchen and over to the fridge. When she oppened the fridge, she almost had a heart attack.
"What the hell, Becs? Do you want to scare me to death?" Chloe yelled.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry, Chlo, I thought you had seen me, I've been standing here all the time."
Beca was standing near the fridge, a glass of water in her hands. She had her hair up in a messy bun and a Barden shirt that was at least two sizes too big for her.
Oh my God, she looks so cute! Chloe thought.
"Why are you not sleeping?" Chloe asked genuinely interested.
"Why aren't you?" Beca asked back.
"I don't know, I just couldn't." Chloe said, shrugging her shoulders. "You?" She asked again.
"Lot to think about" Beca just said.
"Like what?" Chloe pressed, closing the fridge door and leaning against it. Beca looked down at her glass, like she was trying to find every and any answer in the water.
"You know..." Beca started, "the Bellas, Worlds, graduation... Jesse." She added the last part in a whisper.
"What's with him?" Chloe looked at Beca.
"I don't know", Beca sighed and looked at Chloe, "it's not the same, I think the feelings aren't there anymore." Beca stated.
"How so?" Chloe kept asking crossing her arms.
"I don't know, we don't see each other so often anymore, and I don't really want to spend time with him." Beca finally said.
Chloe felt her heart skip a beat and a funny feeling in her stomach. Why am I feeling nervous now? Chloe thought.
"Well, Becs, maybe it's just a phase, maybe you just have to wake up the love again?" Chloe said.
What kind of bullshit am I saying right now?
"Maybe", Beca said, "or maybe I just don't love him anymore and should break up." She looked Chloe directly in the eyes.
Chloe looked back, holding Beca's stare. She smiled at Beca before breaking the eye contact and looking down.
"I mean, I think you should do what your heart tells you to do, Becs." Chloe smiled again.
"Believe me, you don't want that." Beca said looking down. Because what my heart tells me right now is to kiss you, she added in her mind.
"Sorry?" Chloe said. "Of course I want you to do what your heart tells you." She reached for Becas hand and squeezed it softly.
Beca cleared her throat before she hasty let go of Chloe's hand. "Yeah, well, I'll think about what I should do. Night, Chlo."
"Wait", Chloe said, grabbing Beca's hand again, "you know I'm here for you, right? You can talk to me about anything that bothers you."
"I know, dude. Thank you"
"Night, Becs. Have sweet dreams." Chloe smiled at Beca and the brunette gave Chloe a quick kiss on the cheek. "See you in the morning", Beca said before leaving the kitchen.
Chloe stood there for a few more minutes, alone in the dark and with her hand on the cheek Beca had kissed just moments ago. She had a silly smile on her face and the funny feeling in her stomach came back. "Oh, Bree", she said to nobody, "what will you say tomorrow when I tell you that I really like the 'hobbit'?" With that last statement, she pushed herself from the fridge and walked back into her room.
