If you'd find yourself at Beca Mitchell's living room right now, you'd be kind of surprised.
You could start to wonder how is it possible that the Dj who only two months ago was one of the biggest womanisers in the city, suddenly got so... domestic.
Taking in the scene, you'd probably assume that the brunette finally met someone who managed to "tame" her. And if you were anything like Jesse you'd also gush over the smile on Beca's face while she was sleeping with her arms wrapped around certain redhead on the couch next to her.
Or how the redhead was hugging her back and it looked like they were holding to each other for dear life.
Or how the other woman slipped her hand under the brunette's hoodie and rested it on her hip.
And you'd be so right and yet so wrong, at the same time.
But because life's sucks and the reality always comes back, crushing everything in its path, the cute image soon came to an end when the alarm clock on Chloe's phone went off. The redhead stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes, looking for the source of the annoying sound.
When she found the device, she quickly turned it off and glanced at the brunette, still sleeping soundly next to her. A wide grin appeared on her face when she tried to free herself from the embrace but Beca only tightened her grip and rested her cheek on Chloe's shoulder.
"Becs...I need you to wake up..." the Dj mumbled few indistinct words but didn't even open her eyes for a second.
"Beeeecs, please. I need to be at work today..." the redhead started poking the brunette with her finger, unfortunately with no results.
"Becaaa... I need my body back"
"Becs, I'm gonna be late for work. I have to be there in like, an hour so I have to go." Finally, the Dj moved a bit and inhaled deeply,
"Nooooooo...stay." Beca whined, still half asleep.
"Oh my gosh, you're so adorable!" Chloe giggled and that seemed to do the trick because the petite girl shot open her eyes and noticing how close they were, blushed lightly.
"What?" she asked, sitting up and rubbing her eyes with her hands, still a bit confused.
"I said it only million times already, so I'll repeat one more time," Chloe raised her index finger, smirking at her friend. "I need to be at work in one hour and I still have to shower first, get back to my apartment to change and eat something, unless you want me to scare the kids away with my growling stomach."
"Oh...okay. You can take your shower here and I'll fix you something to eat and then I can drive you home and to work. That is if you want me to..." Beca scratched her neck, a habit that showed that the girl was nervous at the moment. The redhead smiled in response and nodded her head yes.
"That'd be awesome, Becs." the Dj thought that she was about to melt when she saw how Chloe's face is radiating with joy.
"Cool." she answered, trying to stay focused and not hypnotised by the woman's eyes.
"Cool." the redhead smiled once again, winking at Beca and made her way to the bathroom.
When she was back the brunette was sipping her coffee and looking through her phone. She smiled at the redhead and gestured for her to sit at the table where a plate with a steaming omelette with ham, cheese, and tomatoes was already waiting for her. Chloe sat at the table and started eating when a sudden moan escaped her mouth
"Oh my God, Becs this is so good!" She exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise
"Yeah?"
"Are you kidding me? You're a genius! I'd never thought that you can cook like this!"
"Well...when I was younger my dad's cousin was never home and after a while, I grew tired of take-outs so I taught myself some stuff..." she smiled shyly and shrugged
"Some stuff? I'd kill to eat a whole dinner made by you"
"Okay. How about today?"
"What? Are you serious?"
"Yeah, I mean why not? I've got some time and it's really not a big deal..." the DJ scratched her neck, trying not to sound too excited.
"That'd be great!"
"Awesome...so I'll pick you up... at seven?"
"Geez, what did I do to deserve a friend like you?" The redhead grinned at her and Beca felt a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach. She tried ignoring it and looked at her watch
"I don't know but you'll hate your amazing friend when you'll be late and get fired and that will happen if you'll stay here gushing over my awesome cooking skills"
Chloe looked at her phone and gasped seeing that she had only 20 minutes left. With the speed of sound, she ate the rest of her breakfast and Beca started laughing at her since the redhead had her mouth full of food and was barely able to chew it.
"What?" She mumbled covering her mouth with a hand not to let anything fall out. The DJ laughed even louder.
"So sexy Beale...so, so sexy"
"Shut up..." Chloe rolled her eyes, swallowing the rest of her meal and got up. Beca followed her and handed her brown bag.
"What's that?"
"I made you grilled cheese sandwich for lunch"
"Becs that's so sweet of you!" Chloe moved by another adorable gesture from Beca, threw her hands around her neck and kissed her on the cheek twice
"That's...That's nothing really..." the DJ was surprised at the action although, knowing Chloe she really shouldn't be. That didn't change the fact that her legs turned into jelly and she had a hard time to even form a coherent thought.
"Okay, let's go." The redhead grabbed her purse and went to the elevator. Beca stood there frozen for a while but then shook her head and followed her, asking herself how the hell Chloe Beale managed to do those weird things to her.
Flannagan was sitting in his car when a tall man with a scar on his face approached and knocked at the window. He opened the window and spoke
"Danny I've had enough. You're gonna do it today no matter what."
"But boss..."
"I don't want to hear that. You're gonna wait for her in front of her apartment and do it."
"What about the camehas?"
" I don't give a shit about cameras! My boy was murdered like a dog in a fucking alley and I want fucking justice, Danny!"
Bugs was looking furious. His face got red, his breathing fastened, and he hit the dashboard with his clenched fist so hard that the glove compartment opened itself.
Danny sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He knew that it was probably a bad idea and that all effort he put into that job, in a matter of hours, could go to waste.
But then again, he had no choice if he still wanted to be alive, so he nodded his head and simply said
"Okay."
''Hope you're hungry. I'll be there in five ;D"
Chloe smiled reading the text from Beca. She couldn't wait to see what the DJ prepared for her, so she grabbed her keys shouting to Aubrey that she'll be out for a few hours and left her apartment.
She was standing outside the building when a black minivan pulled over couple feet away from her. Two men got out the car, one of them wearing a hood and the other one in a flat cap lowered on his forehead. Chloe didn't notice them, being focused on her phone. She hasn't seen that they both quickened their pace and that one of them pulled out a black sack from his pocket.
They approached the redhead from behind and suddenly the taller guy with a scar on his face threw the sack on her head while the other grabbed her and lifted her up. Chloe screamed and started kicking the air, but the guy was strong and wouldn't let go. They started dragging her in the direction of the car and Chloe kept on screaming.
All of sudden she heard a squeal of tires and car door opening. She heard someone cursing and hissing in pain and next thing she knew, she was dropped on the ground.
She groaned when she fell on her right hand and pressed it to her chest. The noises of the scramble and the smell of blood filled the air around her. She didn't know what was going on and it came to her that she should probably take the sack off of her head.
However, she didn't expect to see what she saw.
The first thing she noticed was one of the guys lying on the ground with his nose completely crushed, his face covered with blood. Then she saw that three other men were fighting with a fourth, tiny but fast moving figure.
The fourth person managed to kick the shortest man in the guts and hit his head with a tire spoon, making him join his accomplice on the ground.
The person turned and was now facing Chloe who gasped in shock when she recognised who it was.
"Beca...?" she whispered, still clutching her hand to her chest.
The DJ smirked at her, dodging the punch that had been thrown at her. She grabbed the punching arm and quickly pulled it over her shoulder, which resulted in a loud thud when the owner of the arm collided with the third guy.
Beca took out her knife and threw it, aiming at his eye and hitting it in the centre, killing him immediately. That left her with the last guy who was now heavily painting, just as Beca was.
He looked her in the eyes, while she stood in front of him, cutting off his way to Chloe, like a human shield.
He got up and threw his flat cap on the ground showing his face with a big scar on right cheek. His short, blond hair was dripping in sweat and there was fury in his eyes. He was way taller than the brunette but if she was worried about that fact she didn't show it.
But she also wasn't stupid.
She lost her knife and couldn't rely on it any longer.
Even though she was very strong, especially for her size, the man undoubtedly was stronger.
She knew that from now on she'd have to trust her instincts, use her litheness and move as fast as it was possible.
"You know, you can always back off and leave us alone, it won't be as painful as the decision to carry on." she said, hoping a little bit that she'll be able to persuade him. But the man only smirked at her and shook his head laughing quietly.
"You wish..." he said and spat blood on the ground. He then pretended to make a swing at her but in the last second, he threw himself at her legs, tackling her to the ground. She hit the street hard and it knocked the air out of her. He then took another swing, this time hitting her in the ribcage.
"BECA!" seeing what was going on Chloe screamed at the top of her lungs but for some reason stayed glued to her place.
Beca was fighting for oxygen, yet somehow she managed to hit his back with the tire spoon that she still had clutched in her hand.
He rolled off her and kneeled on the ground, trying to regain focus in his eyes. Beca stood up, gripping her chest, still heavily breathing and grimacing in pain. Before he even tried to get up she had kicked him in the face. When she came closer to finish him, he reached back and pulled out a gun.
She stopped in her tracks and raised her hands in surrender. The man also stood up and pointed the gun at her.
"I should kill you righ' heah, righ' now but my boss has a little show prepahed foh you..." he turned his face to Chloe "Get up and get in the cah or I'll shoot youh fhiend heah"
"No! Chloe, don't listen to him, alright? I'm gonna be fine." Beca panicked. She didn't know what Chloe will do but she was really hoping that she'd listen to her.
And the redhead in question...was terrified. She didn't know what to do or who to listen. Luckily, some kind of shadow appeared and jumped on the guy's back.
It was Lilly, who was now using both her hands and legs to keep him in a headlock. Beca used this moment to crush his wrist and take away the gun. He was still struggling with Lilly but the little girl wasn't going to give up easily. Beca helped her, by punching his stomach couple of times and finally, the guy unconsciously collapsed to the ground from the lack of oxygen.
The DJ sat on the curb and tried to even her breathing since her ribs were killing her. She was about to ask Lilly how the hell she knew that Beca needed her when she heard quiet sobs behind her.
She turned around to see Chloe, still on the ground with a terrified expression on her face and tears streaming down her face. She got up and came closer, putting her hand on the redhead's thigh.
"Chlo?" Chloe looked at her and jerked back.
Beca frowned but froze in place as she spoke quietly
"Chlo, it's me, Beca. You don't have to be scared of me. I'm here to protect you. I won't hurt you."
Chloe's lip started to tremble. After a minute of hesitation, she got on her knees and wrapped the DJ with her arms, hugging her tightly. The brunette felt a wave of pain but didn't say anything nor pulled away from her, breathing the sigh of relief that she came on time. She hugged her back, stroking her hair lightly and started whispering sweet nothings in her ear and letting her break down in her arms.
