Prettier With You
Thank you all so much for the amazing reviews and response to the last chapter, you have no idea how much it means to me. As always thanks to IK for putting up with my atrocious grammar. Please take a minute at the end of the chapter to review.
Please be warned there is a lot of harsh language, and homophobic slurs in this chapter, it needed to be done to get Character view points across but it disgusted me to write it.

"Lilly figured out the name? Already?" Beca asked incredulously, making sure to keep her eyes on the road.
"Apparently Lilly says to meet her and the rest of the Bella's at my place. Something about no one being able to eavesdrop," Chloe said, anticipation mounting, knowing that they would soon know who had been tormenting them for the past week.
"Okay, that makes sense," Beca said turning into the parking lot outside of Chloe's apartment. "What are we going to do once we know who it is?" Beca questioned as she got out of the car.
"I don't know but I'm sure the girls will all have some ideas of how to deal with this. I feel like Lilly's done this before so she should have ideas for sure," Chloe suggested, grabbing Beca's hand as she led her through the entrance and up to her apartment. When Chloe opened the door she was surprised to find all of the Bella's already there, waiting for the arrival of the red head and brunette.
"Alright, we're here. Now what did you find, Lilly?" Beca questioned, draping her coat over the back of the couch and taking her seat in the empty gap that had been left for her. Chloe immediately sat down on Beca's lap, making herself comfortable before turning to face their friends. Aubrey spoke up first with a grim look on her face.
"You know how you guys said that Jesse recognized the number?" Aubrey questioned carefully.
"Yeah, he then left to see if he could figure out where he had seen it," Chloe said, disbelief suddenly overcoming her features. "You're not saying Jesse did it, are you? He may have been a little annoying but I can't see him doing something this horrible." Chloe stated firmly.
"No, that's not what I'm saying," Aubrey stated. "I'm saying the reason he knows the number is because it was given to him after he had been initiated as a Treble. The number belongs to Bumper," Aubrey finished, seething with anger and disgust.
"It's Bumper?" Chloe exclaimed shocked. "What the hell do you mean, it's Bumper? What the fuck does he have against us?" Chloe cried out in frustration, shocking both Aubrey and Beca, both of whom had never heard Chloe utter a profanity no matter how stressed or upset. Beca grabbed Chloe's hand and wrapped her arms around her shaking girlfriend.
"It's going to be alright babe; I promise we'll get him back. He won't know what hit him," Beca promised, placing a gentle kiss against Chloe's temple. Relaxing into Beca, Chloe nodded her head in agreement, allowing the comforting feeling of her girlfriend's arms around her to calm her down. Turning to the rest of the girls Chloe only had one question on her mind.
"Okay, how do we deal with this?" she asked, still trying to calm down from her outburst. Lilly smiled and Fat Amy grinned.
"Don't fret red. You and short-stack there got nothing to worry about," Fat Amy assured. "Back in Tasmania, I was the queen of revenge. I mean, how could I not be. So many girls were jealous over my sexy body and boyfriends that I dealt with my fair share of cat fights… Well, they were more like crocodile fights 'cause that's how vicious they got but you get my drift." Fat Amy claimed, grinning. Chloe just looked at her in amazement while Beca tried not to be creeped out by the grin on Lilly's face and the mumbled mention of fire.
Chloe and Beca looked around their group of friends and realized that even though they hadn't known these girls all that long, they were willing to help them through. As they planned, it didn't take them long to realize that they would need some help from outside of the Bella's. A quick discussion led the Treblemakers, minus Bumper, to be invited over to the already cramped apartment where they were all disgusted by their captain's actions. They immediately offered their support and the planning continued late into the night. It was around three in the morning when Aubrey placed her phone on the table.
"Alright, so Justin is once again running the riff off and has agreed to help us out if we can make it passed one round without knowing the category. He has already added what we asked for and said that if I ever called him again this early in the morning I owed him a date," Aubrey listed as she ran through the conversation for the gathered students.
"Okay, so before everyone leaves let's just go through the plan once more," Jesse stated, having taken the lead of planning with Aubrey as Beca thought the most effective way to deal with Bumper was to beat the ever loving shit out of him and Chloe just wanted the whole ordeal over with. Aubrey nodded and began to go through the plan one last time before letting everyone go for the night.
"Okay, so tomorrow the Trebles are going to be leaving little notes for Bumper throughout the Treble house where they all lived, notes similar to what he texted Beca and Chloe. We know he'll be able to connect the dots but won't be able to do anything about it without admitting what he's been up to. Hopefully this will have him somewhat spooked by the time he gets to the riff off. Beca, you need to remember not to lunge for his throat otherwise we'll be spending the evening bailing you out of jail instead of dealing with this asshole," Aubrey warned, knowing that it would be up to her and Chloe to prevent Beca from attacking Bumper. "Now as I was saying earlier, Justin has promised to add 'Angry Rock Songs' as a category and have the second round land on it. We all have the songs we're going to be doing and girls, remember to look at Bumper while singing so that he knows the anger and overall hatred is being directed at him," Aubrey said in a very military like manner. Jesse then took over explaining the next part of the plan.
"Right, and once the actual riff off is done Beca and Chloe will go up to him and tell him to meet us at the Bella's rehearsal space, where we will all be waiting. There, we will confront him, and threaten to tell the police if he doesn't stop. Now I'm really sorry Beca, Chloe, before we showed up I overheard Bumper telling some of the more homophobic seniors, that he thought there were lesbians in the Bella's and they promised to be on the look out for any," Jesse paused, "as they phrased it, 'dyke bitches, who simply need a good screwing to convert them,'" Jesse said, disgusted that he even had to say something so atrocious. Chloe winced at the words, burrowing herself into Beca's side, while Beca looked like she wanted to punch something. "So you guys need to be careful tomorrow night. Now it goes without a doubt that Bumper will be kicked out of the group but we still need to decide whether to take this to the dean or not." Jesse said gently, noticing the silent tears running down Chloe's face while Beca tried to keep her own emotions in check so that she could properly comfort Chloe.
"No," Beca said firmly, shocking everyone in the room except Chloe who seemed to know exactly what Beca was thinking. "If we tell the dean, then Bumper is kicked out or suspended, but that is all, if we keep it to ourselves and record his confession then we can hang it over his head for the rest of the semester. That way, he knows what it's like living with something dangling over your head," Beca explained, watching the group nod in agreement.
"Great, that sounds like a plan," Aubrey agreed. She was about to let the group go when Lilly tentatively raised her hand, "Yes Lilly, what is it?" Aubrey questioned, the room falling silent in an attempt to hear what the quiet girl was going to say. All they saw though was her lips moving.
Sighing in frustration Fat Amy spoke up, "Sorry what was that? I have the best hearing in Tasmania but even I couldn't catch that."
Lilly sighed and spoke a little louder, "I said, can I have a few minutes alone with him once we're done? I promise once I'm through with him he'll never bother any of us again." Lilly said with a tiny smile as she began to play with a lighter that she seemed to have pulled out from thin air.
Everyone was shocked and probably a little scared so they agreed to Lilly's request. With their plans finalized, the Trebles left clutching the notes to be scattered through their house the next day. The Bella's were next to leave, anxious for what the next day would bring. Once everyone had left, Aubrey bid the couple a good night and went into her own bedroom, allowing them time to absorb everything that has happened.
"Hey Chlo," Beca began; only continuing when Chloe made a sound showing that she was listening, "you know what I just realized?"
"Hmm, what's that?" Chloe questioned.
"I realized how awesome our friends are," Beca smiled as she placed a tender kiss on Chloe's forehead. Chloe nodded her head in agreement before a loud yawn escaped from her mouth. "Okay babe, you're tired, I'm tired, let's go to bed. We're going to need our rest for tomorrow," Beca said, pulling Chloe to her feet and leading the half asleep Chloe to her room. After both girls had changed and gotten under the covers, they moved closer together, falling asleep peacefully and without worry for the first time in a week.
The next morning, all of the Bella's were once again gathered at Chloe and Aubrey's small apartment, anxiously awaiting an update from the Trebles. Chloe and Beca had taken the same position from the night before, Beca sitting on the couch and Chloe sitting on Beca, Fat Amy was in the kitchen raiding the fridge, while Aubrey was pacing the floor nervously. All of the other girls had scattered themselves throughout the apartment waiting for news.
While the girls waited, the boys were placing various notes throughout the Treble house. Notes that said things like, 'We know who you are, stop now and we won't report you'. The notes also got slightly more aggressive, 'if you try to harm either one of us, you better be able to sleep with one eye open because we know where you live and we are not above confronting you in front of all the Trebles'. When Bumper received the first note he paled noticeably, checking over his shoulder quickly to make sure none of the other Trebles had seen the message before shoving it deep in his pocket. Jesse had been discreetly watching hidden behind the counter. Satisfied with Bumper's response, he sent a quick text to the Bella's to let them know what was happening.
"Guys I got a text from Jesse," Beca announced to the room as everyone fell silent waiting for Beca to continue. "He says that Bumper seemed really freaked out by the note and we should all be ready for tonight because it looks like our plan's going to work really effectively," Beca finished happily, pocketing her phone and smiling at the rest of the girls.
For the rest of the day the Bella's and Trebles were all busy preparing for that night's riff off. Beca and Chloe were able to spend more time with Beca's mom, something that delighted all three women, until Beca's mom delivered some bad news.
"I'm so sorry girls but my boss just called and said that he needs me to go home and work on a case, something about it being too high profile for the other lawyers and such. I'm so sorry but he didn't really leave me with much choice," she explained apologetically.
"It's fine mom, really," Beca assured. "I'm just glad we got to spend a little time together," Beca said.
"Same here, Janice. It was really nice being able to spend time with you and let you know about us," Chloe informed with a small smile.
"Well I'm glad you two told me. You are just so cute together, my little Bechloe," Beca's mom grinned, laughing at the horrified look on her daughter's face.
"Your what? What the hell is Bechloe?" Beca questioned, looking between her mom and her laughing girlfriend.
"It's your couple name, duh," her mom said laughing. Chloe just grinned.
"It's cute. I never really considered us the type of couple that would have a couple name, but I really like it," Chloe said happily.
"I'm glad you do dear, now I have to go otherwise I'm going to miss my flight. I'll see you both at Christmas." With one final good bye Beca's mom was getting into a taxi headed towards the airport.
"It was nice seeing your mom, even if it was only for a little while," Chloe said as they made their way to the pool later that evening.
"Yeah it was, but you just like the fact that we now have a couple name," Beca said teasingly.
"You have to admit it's kind of cool, we are now that much closer to being like Brangelina," Chloe teased allowing the humour to hide her apprehension for the evening's upcoming events.
"Mhm, sure babe, keep telling yourself that," Beca said, swinging their hands as they looked into the pool where the riff off was going to be held. In their excitement they were completely oblivious to the glares they were receiving from the edge of the pool. "Hey losers, ready for tonight?" Beca greeted as they approached the circle of Bella's huddled together to avoid the cold.
"Yup, I'm gonna finish him like a cheese cake," Fat Amy declared, eyeing Bumper threateningly behind his back.
"Well wait 'till later to do that, okay? Justin looks like he's ready to start," Chloe suggested as Justin walked into the center of the crowded pool. Beca recognized him instantly as the young man who was in charge of auditions.
"Alright welcome to this year's riff off. My name is Justin and because I can't sing, I get stuck running these events so don't cross me. The rules are as follows, in order to cut someone off you must use the exact word, if you mess up the lyrics you are cut off. The group that makes it to the end of their song wins the round. If a group does not participate in the round they are cut off. So without further ado, our first category is…'Songs Ruined By Glee'. One note with this category, if you choose to do a song that Glee did as a duet you must duet as well. Now let the riff off begin," Justin called to the crowd. To almost everyone's surprise it was the BU Harmonics who made it to the center first.
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna-
At this point Bumper and Donald strode confidently into the center of the circle effectively cutting of the Harmonics as they began to sing Billionaire,
I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' bad
Buy all of the things I never had
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights yeah
A different city every night oh I, I swear, the world better prepare
For when-
Beca smirked, without knowing it the boys had set her up perfectly, allowing her to cut them off with a self satisfied smile, launching into one of her favourite Paramore songs.
When I was younger, I saw, my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart, and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist
As Beca worked her way into the chorus she made sure to lock eyes with Chloe. Even though the reason Beca had picked the song was because it fit the category, it didn't stop it from accurately describing her relationship with Chloe.
But, darling,
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Maybe I-
Beca was so caught up in Chloe's sea blue eyes that she didn't notice Bumper coming into the circle until he forcefully shoved her out of the way as he began to sing. His action earned him many groans of disapproval from the crowd but he merely grinned and began his song.
I fill you up
Let's have a party
Let's have a party
I love you, red solo cup
I lift you up
Proceed to party
Proceed to party
Now, I really love how you're easy to stack
But I –
Aubrey stood huddled in a group of Bella's, shocked that bumper thought Red Solo Cup was an appropriate song for the riff off, hell the majority of that song wasn't even proper singing. Aubrey was trying to figure out a song to cut him off with when Chloe pushed her way into the middle dragging a confused Beca behind her. Beca's look of confusion turned to a slight glare when Chloe began to sing. The song she had picked was a duet, forcing Beca to join in.
I gave you my key
Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart
So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
And nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us, babe
I think we can make it
So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights
Chloe and Beca were working their way through the song alternating between the two of them when one of the girls from the High Notes, Nina, Chloe thought her name was, made her way to the center of the circle before she began to sing.
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
The girl suddenly stopped and made her way back over to her friends who were all laughing quietly. Justin shook his head and made his way back to the center of the circle.
"And that folks is the effect of medical marijuana. Now because they didn't even remotely match the song, High Notes you have been, cut off," he said, clapping with the rest of the gathered crowd. "Now for the next category," he exclaimed, pointing towards the wheel on the wall once more. "Alright, and our next category is Angry Rock Songs." Justin then stepped out of the circle opening it up to the rest of the groups still in the competition. Having been anticipating the category, the Bella's were the first to respond with the song they had prepared. Cynthia Rose took the lead and marched confidently into the center to begin the song.
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
At this point in the song Chloe took over leading the Bella's through the song as she glared pointedly at Bumper the whole time. Bumper's smirk fell and he began to look a little frightened as the girls continued to sing,
We came to battle, baby
We came to win the war
We won't surrender 'till we
Get what we're looking for
We're blowing out our speakers
There goes the neighbourhood
A little scissor happy, little misunderstood
We can turn you on... Or we will turn on you
Daughters of darkness, sister insane
A little evil, goes a long long way
We stand together
No, we're not afraid-
Jesse walked towards the group signalling that he was going to cut them off with the song he and the other Trebles had prepared in order to help the Bella's confront Bumper.
Afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertone)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
Bumper looked confused and a little frightened as he slowly realized all of the anger and hate in the songs was being directed at him. It wasn't until he caught Chloe and Beca watching his reaction did he realize what they were doing. The thought of this scared him shitless.
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you-
Chloe walked forward, the Bella's parting to let her through as she moved to cut off Jesse with the next planned song. Glancing over her shoulder at Beca, Chloe was comforted seeing her girlfriend giving her a supportive nod, knowing that this was normally the type of music she stayed away from. Taking a deep breath, Chloe cut Jesse off and began to sing,
You were born to burn
This ain't no disease, you don't need a cure
It's our time now, to come out
If you're a freak like me
If you're a freak like me
We're underground but we will not surrender
We're gonna give em something to remember, Yeah
So write your name in gasoline, and set that shit on fire
If you're a freak like me, Wave your flag
If you're a freak like me, Get off your ass
It's our time now, To let it all hang out
So shout if you're a freak like me, Don't apologize
They can't hold you down, You were born to rise
It's our time now, duke of earls
If you're a freak like me
If you're a freak like me
Are you a freak like me?
Are you a freak like me?
If you're a freak like me, Wave your flag
If you're a freak like me, Get off your ass
It's our time now, To let it all hang out
So shout if you're a freak like me, Don't apologize
They can't hold you down, You were born to –
Donald walked to the center for the final song the Trebles had planned, all of the Trebles followed him and leaving Bumper standing there in confusion, looking slightly scared when all of the Trebles turned to face him, standing in line with the Bella's, a silent show of support,
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I felt this way before
So insecure
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I-
Finally the Bella's moved into their final song allowing Beca and Chloe to take the lead. A song that would hopefully help them get their point across to Bumper once they confronted him,
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge, but if you're gonna judge me,
Well sentence me to another life
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same (Yeah!)
We're not the same (Yeah!)
Oh we're not the same
Yeah, the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (Hey!)
It's good (Hey!)
It's good (Hey!)
Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
And this is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person, but you can't take it
The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same (No!)
We're not the same (No!)
Oh we're not the same
Yeah, the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (Hey!)
It's good (Hey!)
It's good
Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out.
When the Bella's had finished the song the whole pool was cheering loudly, even Justin looked impressed as he announced the Barden Bella's as the winners of the riff off. Having promised to split the win with the Trebles, the Bella's simply rolled their eyes watching carefully as Beca and Chloe made their way over to a very nervous Bumper. Beca leaned down to whisper in his ear.
"Meet us at the auditorium in twenty minutes, and don't think you have the option of saying no," Beca said menacingly. Linking her hand with Chloe's Beca made her way back over to the celebrating Bella's and Trebles, shooting them a meaningful glance. Both groups sobered quickly, following the two girls to the arranged meeting place.
Aubrey swiftly unlocked the door to the auditorium and everyone shuffled in, all a little on edge for what was to happen next. The Trebles took their places standing behind the Bella's, doing their best to look intimidating, while all of the girls stood behind Beca and Chloe in a show of support for their friends. The group of students didn't have to wait long until Bumper walked in with a nervous look upon his face.
"Okay, what are you going to do to me?" Bumper asked nervously, taking a seat in front of Beca and Chloe, sceptically eyeing all of the people gathered behind them.
"We're just going to talk," Chloe said calmly. It had been decided the night before that Beca and Chloe would be the only ones to speak to him. It had then been decided between Chloe and Beca that Chloe would be the one to lead the discussion because Beca was sure she would hit him.
"Okay so talk," he said regaining some of his cockiness, causing Beca to grit her teeth and glare menacingly.
"Bumper shut the fuck up and listen. You have lost any and all right to take part in this discussion," Beca threatened, smirking when she saw Bumper swallow and nod.
"What we want to say is simple," Chloe began, "We want you to leave us alone. No more texts and no more threats. If you break any of these requests then we will go directly to the dean and tell him what we know." Chloe finished, creeping Bumper out completely with how friendly and calm she was being about the whole thing. Donald stepped forward and began to speak on behalf of the Trebles.
"You have been kicked out of the Trebles as well, we refuse to associate ourselves with someone who could behave so poorly towards other people and we are disgusted that you were our captain," Donald said harshly while all of the Trebles nodded their heads in agreement, all deeply repulsed by their former captain's actions. "We want to hear you apologize to Beca and Chloe. If you don't, then when you go to the house to pick up your stuff it won't exactly be intact. Now what do you have to say for yourself?" Bumper looked at the groups before shaking his head defiantly.
"I refuse to apologize, you may be able to get me to stop with the threats but I was only doing it to help the Trebles. I refuse to apologize to a pair of queers when I believe they shouldn't be allowed on campus," he said confidently, maintaining eye contact with Beca and Chloe the whole time. Beca lunged for him but was restrained by Jesse who had been waiting for her to snap.
"Beca calm down, if you attack him he can press charges and then you're no better than he is," Jesse warned, only releasing his grip when Beca has slumped into Chloe's side. Chloe started whispering calming words into Beca's ear, knowing that this was especially hard on Beca after her father's reaction.
"Ugh, you two disgust me," Bumper said, reminding everyone of his presence. Beca's head snapped in his direction causing him to flinch slightly. Beca opened her mouth to say something when she was interrupted by Lilly's hand on her shoulder.
"Can I have my five minutes now?" she quietly requested. The rest of the group nodded, leaving a grinning Lilly with a confused Bumper.
The group made their way outside closing the door behind them. The moment that the door closed Fat Amy had her ear pressed against the heavy metal trying to hear what was happening on the other side.
"I hear whimpering," Fat Amy announced after a minute, "and something that sounds like her lighter." Everyone rushed to the door trying to see if Amy was pulling their leg but they could all hear the distinct whimpering with the click of a lighter. Once the five minutes were up the group walked back in, all scanning Bumper for any sign of injuries. As they looked him over the group silently agreed that he looked fine, just terrified of the small Asian girl sitting across from him. As they approached, she smiled and turned to face Bumper once more.
"Is there anything you would like to say?" she whispered with a smile. Bumper nodded his head vigorously, truly frightened of the small woman across from him. Turning his head towards Beca and Chloe before speaking.
"I'm sorry for what I did; it was wrong of me to blackmail you for my own gain and I need to learn that love is love, no matter genders it's shared between. I'm going to go to the Treble house now and get my stuff and I will never bug you again," Bumper said hurriedly, looking at Lilly for approval and with a small nod of her head Bumper jumped up from his chair and ran to collect his belongings. The group watched him leave in shock, all turning their gaze towards Lilly in awe and terror. Lilly simply shrugged her shoulders and left the room. Everyone followed her with their eyes, now slightly fearful of the small girl. Shaking their heads, both teams followed her out of the auditorium, intent on heading back to the party, with Beca and Chloe pulling up the rear.
"Hey babe, wait up a sec," Beca said, pulling Chloe away from the group. Chloe followed along confused as to what her girlfriend was doing.
"What's up Becs? I thought you wanted to go to the party?" Chloe questioned cautiously, trying to understand why Beca looked so nervous and wasn't meeting her eyes.
"I do, I just need to do this first," Beca said looking into Chloe's eyes.
"Okay, shoot," Chloe prompted, puzzled by Beca's behaviour. Taking a deep breath Beca began to voice what was on her mind.
"So, you know I love you right?" Beca began, continuing as Chloe nodded her head. "And you know I would never want to hurt you," Chloe's face fell. Was Beca breaking up with her, "but-"
"Are you breaking up with me?" Chloe asked tearfully. She could feel her heart cracking at the thought. Beca was shocked and quickly shook her head putting Chloe at ease slightly. But the red head still looked worried, "Okay well that's good."
"I would never break up with you Chlo, I love you, and I would never want to hurt you like that. What I was trying to say, but I guess I wasn't doing a good job of it, was that I love you and I will always love you. You are my whole world Chloe and I want everyone else to know it." With that declaration Beca reached into her pocket and pulled out a little box, Chloe's hand flew to her mouth in shock. Beca opened the box to reveal a small ring, with a simple band and an infinity symbol laid in with small diamonds. "Now this is not an engagement ring because we're eighteen and that would be absolutely ridiculous at our age, but what it is, is a promise. I worked all summer so that I could get you this a symbol of my promises to you. I promise that I will always love you and I will always support you through everything. I promise that when you come home from medical school and you're stressed out, I will always be there ready with a cup of hot chocolate, because it is one of the only things that can help distress you when you're upset. I promise you that at some point we will have the whole white wedding and the white picket fence, but for now, because we're only eighteen, all I can do is promise to love you for as long as you'll have me." By the time Beca finished her speech Chloe had tears streaming down her face as she nodded. Beca grinned as she slid the ring onto Chloe's finger, kissing her happily. When they pulled apart Chloe couldn't keep the grin off her face as she linked their fingers together and admired the ring.
"It's beautiful Beca, and hey I'm almost nineteen so we're not that young, at least I'm not" Chloe teased as they began to walk back to the party.
"Oh please babe, you're birthday is only like five weeks before mine, you were born on December eighth and I was born January fifth, so it's not like you're that much older than me," Beca said pretending to pout. Chloe just rolled her eyes and pulled them to a halt just outside of the party. Totally forgetting about Jesse's warning to be careful, Chloe captured Beca's bottom lip with her own and began to poor all of her pent up emotions into the kiss. Beca quickly reciprocated, pushing Chloe up against a nearby tree and running her tongue along Chloe's lip, begging for entrance which Chloe quickly granted, groaning as Beca started to let her hands wander. Both girls couldn't remember a time when they had been so happy, they knew they had each other and no one would ever be able to change that.
