Sorry I havent updated in a while my school started and I got busy ugh. But anyway here's something c:
Beca could walk the distance to the accident point actually, but she was too tired. She climbed into a cab and pointed to the direction. About five minutes later, she alighted. Beca surveyed the area around her. It wasn't going to be easy to look for the necklace. She sighed and stumbled over to a nearby bush to start looking.
About forty-five minutes later, Beca still hasn't found the necklace. She huffed in frustration. Beca felt herself growing beyond tired.
"Fuck this! Why do you have to do this to me?" Beca screamed to no one in particular. She grunted loudly before pushing herself off and continuing her search for the necklace. Beca bent down and looked under bushes, in the tall grass but after so long, she still couldn't find it. Beca almost gave up when her eyes widened suddenly. She pulled off her slowly fading necklace and held it out, walking around slowly and hoping that her necklace would attract Chloe's.
"Please," Beca choked out a sob as she stumbled around in the tall grass. Suddenly, she felt something pulling at her hand. A sharp pain shot up her head and she saw black spots, but she ignored it. Beca lowered her head expectantly and gasped as she saw the scene at her hands. Beca let out a laugh. For the first time in a long time, she laughed. She reached her hand down and pulled up Chloe's necklace, inspecting it. It was a little dirty but it was intact. Beca grinned like a madman.
Beca noticed something else. Her necklace wasn't that faded anymore. The tint of red came back. The two connected charms glowed softly in the bright sunlight. Beca giggled. Wait, she giggled? Beca thought she was going insane. The memories of her and Chloe came flooding back into her mind and she smiled fondly. Beca's head still hurt slightly. A dull throbbing drummed through her brain, forcing her to almost black out. She hoped this would wake Chloe anyway. Beca sighed and strung the two necklaces around her neck before starting to walk back to the hospital, considering there wasn't a car in sight, much less a taxi.
Hi Chloe. It's Beca.
Hey, Chloe? Can you hear me?
Beca sighed. She didn't feel anything. She would know if Chloe woke up. Would she?
Look I don't know if this would work but I'll try anyway. So you got into a car accident. And you're in a coma now. Um are you awake yet?
Chloe?
Can you hear me?
Baby wake up, please.
Beca felt herself tearing up again. It wasn't working. She started getting worried and panicked. What if it this didn't work? This was the best shot she has. If this doesn't work she doesn't know what would. Beca felt a single tear fall down her cheek as she reached up to clutch the charms. Her head throbbed painfully and she felt her vision going blurry, but she doesn't give up.
Chlo, please wake up. I'm done with this. People think I'm strong. I'm not, Chloe. I'm not.
Beca choked a sob and stared towards the sky to keep her tears in. Before she knew it, she arrived back at the hospital. Taking a deep breath, Beca stepped back into the sterilized building. The rush of air conditioner sent a chill down her spine but she couldn't care less.
"Jesus Christ Beca!" Beca heard Tristan's voice. "Where have you been?"
Beca tried concentrating on his voice but everything turned into a small buzz.
"Oh my gosh take it off!" Tristan yelled at her. Take...off? Take what off? Beca didn't have time to register his words but she felt someone pulling at her neck.
"No." Beca mumbled weakly. She's not going to lose the only connection she has with Chloe.
"Beca, stop resisting me!" Tristan's voice seemed far out. Finally, Tristan detached the two necklaces and pulled them off Beca's neck. Beca's vision cleared and she came into focus. Her head still hurt slightly but she could concentrate now.
"What?" Beca asked, puzzled by the events that just happened.
"Go get some sleep, Beca. I'll tell you when you wake up." Tristan guided Beca back to Chloe's room where they had apparently put up a makeshift bed for her to rest in.
"But—" Beca started but got cut off.
"Rest." Tristan's voice rang back and Beca felt herself succumbing to darkness and slipping into sleep.
Beca woke up to a slightly dim room. She was aware of someone else sitting in the room. Grunting softly, she pushed herself up and propped her head with her arm.
"Beca?"
Beca turned her head and met Aubrey's eyes.
"Hey, good to see you awake." Aubrey smiled before pulling up a bag sitting next to her. "I brought your laptop and some um what's this again—sour skittles. Chloe told me you liked them once." Aubrey spoke the last part quietly. Beca smiled and sat up on the makeshift bed.
"Thanks Aubrey." Beca's voice was slightly hoarse and apparently, Aubrey could tell, because the blonde started to pour her some water from the flask next to the bed. Beca thanked Aubrey again and received her laptop from Aubrey. Beca smiled as she turned her laptop on. The familiar wallpaper she had brought an even brighter smile to her face. Beca recalled the moment when Chloe took these photos of them and she tried channeling her thoughts to Chloe again.
"Becaaaa," Chloe drawled out her name. "Can we take Polaroids?"
"What? I don't like taking photos." Beca protested as Chloe tried to pry away her headphones from her ears.
"I don't care, come here." Chloe opened her arms for Beca. Beca grunted and shook her head.
"Uh Chloe?" Beca raised her eyebrow after Chloe had been silent for a long time. Suddenly, arms wrapped around her abdomen and pulled her up and off the chair.
"Jesus! What are you doing?" Beca shrieked as she tried to pull herself off Chloe.
"I'm Chloe by the way, and I'm making you take a Polaroid with me. Or ten." Chloe mused before plopping down on Beca's bed with a whining Beca in her lap.
"Let me off your lap." Beca groaned and Chloe only tightened her grip on Beca's midsection. Chloe started kissing Beca's neck softly and turning Beca's head slightly so she could kiss the brunette on the lips.
"Okay fine maybe we can take one photo." Beca mumbled into Chloe's lips. "Oh my god I'm so whipped." Beca groaned and Chloe laughed in response.
"I love you." Chloe grinned and pecked Beca's lips.
"Same." Beca deadpanned and Chloe slapped her gently. "Okay okay I love you."
They ended up taking eight Polaroids with Chloe making ridiculous faces and Beca laughing at them. Chloe placed them all neatly together before snapping a photo of it and sending it to Beca.
"What're you smiling at?" Aubrey's voice broke Beca's chain of thoughts.
"Huh, oh nothing." Beca grinned and opened her mixing softwares. Aubrey chuckled and recalled how Chloe used to space out about Beca and started smiling and grinning like an idiot. She prayed for Chloe to wake up soon. She knew Beca was holding up for Chloe but there's so much a tiny human can take. At least the brunette seemed at ease now that she had her music with her. Aubrey's lips curved into a smile when she saw Beca slip on her headphones and bop her head slowly to the music. She tapped Beca's shoulder gently and signaled that she was going out. Beca nodded and focused back on her laptop. Aubrey sighed as she saw Beca open up a folder named after Chloe. At least the midget had something to distract herself with.
