"Come on Beca, pleeeeeaasee! For me!" Chloe pouted, holding Beca's small hands in her own, "It'll be fun!"
"But-"
"No buts! No why's or what ifs, just come with me!"
"But its a party.. And there will be people there. People I don't know. I don't like people I don't know"
"How do you expect to make friends with that attitude, Beca Mitchell?" Chloe asked sarcastically.
"I don't need friends, I have you" Beca said while wrapping her arms tighter around Chloe's waist and pulling her closer.
"Okay that was cute, but you're not getting out of this! We're going, and that's final! It'll be aca-awesome!"
"Why can't I ever say no to you?" Beca asked with a fake annoyed face.
"Because you love me"
"Oh yeah"
4 hours later, the girls were dressed up, ready for the party Chloe had been so reluctant to get Beca to go to. Chloe wore a dark blue dress which stopped at her knees. She wore a pair of orange heels to compliment the dress she pinned her hair back loosely. Beca, going for the more casual look, but still looking beautiful, wore green skinny jeans and black heels. Accompanied by a simple white shirt and a loosely fitted blazer.
The two of them got into the back of a cab and Chloe gave the driver the address of where the party was being held. She turned to Beca and put her hand on her knee, "Baby are you okay? You seem tense"
"I'm just nervous"
"Why are you nervous? Its only a party?"
"I just.. Don't, go to many parties and.." the brunette left the rest of the sentence to linger in the air.
"And what?" Chloe asked concerned as to what was wrong with Beca.
"Well, its just that.. I don't know anybody.. Like, literally anybody, at the party.. They're all your friends and.. I'm just not good.. At that"
"At making friends? You made me your friend"
"Yeah but that's different.. I've just never been one of those girls who has a lot of.. Girl friends. And I just find it hard"
"Baby they will love you. As much as you think they are, my friends aren't all like Aubrey, you know"
"I didn't say that, I j-"
"Aubrey's different. Her parents, they expect a lot from her. They don't really like her having a social life. They want her to be successful and her father says that she can't be if she's knocking around with the wrong people"
"Will Aubrey be there?"
"What did I just say?" Chloe laughed.
Beca smiled, "I appreciate you, helping me make friends"
"Or maybe I'm not" the redhead winked, "maybe I'm just trying to get you drunk so I can degrade you later" she moved her hand up slowly from Beca's knee, up her thigh and to her hip, then kissed her lightly. Beca let out a breath but then got interrupted,
"-ahem- that's 12 dollars please, miss"
Chloe got her purse out and paid the man before taking hold of Beca's hand and pulling her out of the taxi. The music was pumping through the house, and there were loud shouts of drunken college students echoing into the street.
"Come on" Chloe tugged on Beca's hand. "Shit" Beca muttered, "this is actually happening. I'm too awkward for stuff like this." Beca didn't think Chloe heard her but she knew different when the redhead chuckled at her awkwardness.
An hour later, after Beca had got a few drinks down her, she was like a little social bunny. Okay, maybe more than a few drinks.. She walked round, her arms linked with Chloe's as Chloe introduced Beca to everybody. She also introduced herself even though she knew everybody at the party.
"Hi.. I'm C- Chloe, and this is.. This is Beca" she looked over at Beca and smiled, "she's so beeeeautifuuuul, isn't sheeeee?" she slurred.
Beca laughed at the intoxicated ginger. It was the same introduction to every person she saw. She even went introducing herself and her girlfriend again. To say people were getting pissed at her constantly drooling over her girlfriend (however they thought they were just friends, as they hadn't told anybody yet) was an understatement, but she didn't care because she was hammered.
"Hellooo I'm Chloeeee-"
"And that's Beca, and yes she's beautiful. You've told me 3 times now" a rather tall boy called Travis looked down on her.
"Okay, duuuude" Chloe slurred pushing her hand against the boys chest. She felt Beca pull her away and the redhead muttered under her breath, "Jesus, who pissed in his beer?"
"Sit down Chlo, you're slaughtered"
"Sit with me baby-"
"Shhh!" Beca shot her a glare.
"Shit, sorry" she whispered.
"I'll go get you some water, stay here"
"Nooooo, Becaaaa" Chloe held out her arms to the brunette and pouted, "I need a cuddle"
"God, Chlo" Beca said, sitting down next to the redhead who immediately wrapped her arms around her. "You're such a clingy drunk"
"I don't care, you're my gir-"
"Okay, Chlo I'm going to get you some water!" The small girl shot up and pointed her index finger at the kiddy-like redhead who looked up at her with sad eyes, "stay here"
"Ugh" Chlo leant too far to the right and face planted the couch she was occupying. She smiled against the fabric on her cheek and fluttered her eyes, "God this is comfy"
A few moments later, Beca returned to see Chloe laid on the sofa, stroking the material, feeling its softness.
"Come on red, I got you some water"
Chloe sat up and rubbed her head, "oh my God Beca, how long have I been laid here?" She asked, her eyes dilating as the room began to spin. "Oh shit I'm gonna throw up" she immediately shot up and ran to the bathroom.
A tall dark haired girl approached Beca. "Hi, I'm Stacie. You're Beca, right?"
"Yeah, you look familiar"
"That's probably because Chloe's introduced you to me 4 times now" she laughed.
"That's why" Beca laughed.
"Are you drinking neat vodka?" She pointed to the glass that Beca was holding.
"What? Um, no! It's water"
"Aren't you drinking?"
"Oh, no.. Yeah I am. This is, uh, for Chloe.. She's pretty smashed" Beca laughed again and Stacie smiled.
The taller brunette took a swig of her drink and tilted her head to the side, "Chloe was right, you really are beautiful"
Beca felt a blush creep up on her face. "I should go, sort her out"
"Sure, I'll see you around" the tall girl winked.
Beca turned round and headed to the bathroom. She knocked on the door but there was no answer. "Chlo! Chloe it's me, Beca!" She knocked again, "open the door, Chlo!" She barged the door open but Chloe wasn't there. Where did she go? Was there another bathroom in this place?
She went back downstairs and saw Stacie, "Hey, have you seen Chloe? She went to the bathroom and she's not there now"
"No I haven't seen her, Bec. Sorry" she offered an apologetic smile and turned back to the boy she was talking to.
"Motherfucker" she muttered under her breath pulling her phone out. It was out of charge, typical, "where the hell is she?"
The brunette walked round the house, asking literally everybody whether they knew where Chloe was but nobody knew. She can't just fucking disappear, can she? Wait, what if this was like one of those movies where people at a party start randomly going missing and they never come back? Beca shook her head to stop herself from thinking about possible negative outcomes of the situation.
"Beca! Becaaa!" An unfamiliar voice shouted. She turned round and saw a tall boy with a worried look on his face. "I know you don't know me but I'm Chloe's friend. I just got this text, please don't freak out because its probably not as bad as it sounds"
Beca took the boy's phone out of his hands and read the text. As she read it she almost felt her whole body go into shutdown mode. The words processed in her mind and raced around her brain cells as she repeated them in her head;
'Jesse, I'm with Travis, please promise me you won't tell Beca. Just tell her I went home because I wasn't feeling too good'
Fuck.
Sorry for leaving it on a cliffhanger like this! I'll only be doing a few more chapters now. Reviews/favourites/follows are much appreciated, thanks for reading!
