Aubrey and Chloe had spent the rest of the day helping Beca move into their flat, the brunette hadn't really spoken to them since her encounter with the doctor but they respected her space for the time being and decided not to push it. The room was about the same size as hers and kimmy-jin's but now she had the entire space to herself, her DJ equipment was neatly set up in the corner of the room on a dark wooden desk. The walls were cream and the floor was wooden, it had a very classy and neutral feel about it allowing Beca to make it her own like a blank canvas. She stood in the centre and glanced around at the room that would be her own for the next few years, this is her new home.
"Okay, so I think thats everything Beca" Aubrey said as she clapped her hands rid of the final box.
"Thank you guys, for everything" she said smiling at her new roommates. "I'm just gonna call my dad, I'll be out in a min"
"Okay sure. Take your time sweetie." Chloe said as she shut herself out of Beca's room.
Beca pulled out her phone and sat on her bed; she tapped away at the screen and pressed it against her ear.
"Dad" she spoke delicately.
"Bec's?"
"Yea, it's me"
"Oh hey kiddo, whats up? Your classes start next week don't they?"
"Yea dad. I just wanted to tell you that I've moved."
"You've what? What do you mean?" His tone had changed instantly to one of frustration.
"Dad. This is good for me, I'm with some friends-"
"- I don't give a shit if you're with friends, what were you thinking? You've been there what? Less than a month and you've already fucked up." He was on the verge of shouting down the phone at Beca.
"Please Dad. This is good for me, you don't understand. I need this" she pleaded, on the brink of tears. Her father never accepted any of her choices; as much as she could hate him for all he had done, he was still her father and all she ever wanted was for him to love her. But everything she did was wrong in his eyes.
"Why is this good for you? You should be on campus studying, not at some brothel apartment getting drunk all the time, how is that good?" She pulled the phone away from her ear as his voice grew louder.
"It's not like that, I'm with two girls her are model students, they're good for me. In more than one way" Beca had began to pass the stage of being upset and began to get frustrated with her father.
"Whatever Beca. This is ridiculous, why would you disobey me like this?"
"Are you not fucking listening to me? I need to be here. I tried to-" Beca stood and began pacing her room, she was aware that it was likely both Chloe and Aubrey could hear every word she was now saying but she didn't care.
"-don't you dare swear at me" he cut in.
"Stop interrupting me then."
"So now this is my fault the Beca? Your rash decision is because I interrupted you, well I have something to tell you-"
"I fucking tried to kill myself you ass" she screamed down the phone. She took a second to compose herself in the silence before speaking again "I-I need to be here." She said calmly, her voice cracking slightly. "And I don't trust myself to not try again."
"Beca I..." Her father trailed off, his town dramatically softer.
"Goodbye dad" she hung up the phone and dropped it to the ground creating a loud bang. She sunk to the ground and dropped her face into her hands and let out a giant sigh.
"Don't cry. Don't cr-cry" she whispered to herself but to no avail.
...
Both Aubrey and Chloe had heard the aggravation in Beca's voice and walked into the hallway, catching the end of the conversation between Beca and her father. They stood there for several minutes awestruck at her brutal honesty towards her father.
"Should we go in?" Aubrey whispered, trying to keep their presence unknown.
"Bec's? Are you okay sweetie?" Chloe called through the door whilst knocking lightly before turning the handle and letting herself in.
"I'm fine." She sniffed, her body tucked neatly into herself as she sat on the floor. "I hate him." She whispered as though she had no energy left.
"He's your Dad Bec's. You don't hate him" Chloe said walking towards the brunette.
"I know. But i want to. I want to hate him so much, for all that he's done, but I can't." She sighed "I know that he hates me. So why can't I hate him?" Her question was rhetorical yet Chloe felt the need to answer as she sat down comfortably next to the brunettes. She took her hands in her own and kissed her knuckles.
"He doesn't hate you, no one could ever hate you" she soothed whilst glancing at Aubrey, silently gesturing for her to leave, she complied and smiled at the redhead before closing the door behind herself.
"Then why?" Beca tucked her face into the crook of Chloe's neck, inhaling some of her floral sent which was very comforting.
"I don't know. But he'll come around." She kissed the top of her head.
"I'm sorry" she said lifting her head from Chloe's chest, turning to look her into her deep blue eyes.
"For what?" She smiled at the brunette and placed her hand at the back of her neck, stroking her fingers gently through her hair.
"We've been dating like a day, and I've been the shittest girlfriend ever" she half smiled.
"Hmmn... Well I think you've been THE best girlfriend ever, but... If you wanted to make it up to me?" She winked. She leaned down and met Beca's lips with her own, her head titled as their kiss deepened. Beca's tongue grazed the redheads bottom lip begging for access,her mouth opened slightly allowing the brunette to gain entry. She broke for just a second and whispered "All better", returning her lips to the brunettes.
...
"I'm just going to take a bath" Beca called after taking her plate to the kitchen and washing it in the sink, Aubrey had made them all pasta for dinner.
"Okay sweetie" Chloe replied, earning a glance from Aubrey.
Beca walked towards her room and grabbed a towel for the bath, she didn't notice the cautious stares she was receiving from both the blonde and the redhead.
"Chloe" Aubrey hushed under her breath "go in there, we can't leave her alone"
Chloe shrugged her shoulders at the blonde, "how can I just walk in there? I need a reason to stay i there"
"You're her girlfriend" she pushed "That's your reason" she shook her head at the redhead.
"Fine" she huffed as she made her way to the bathroom.
She stood outside the door and let out a deep breath before lifting her fist to knock on the door. "Bec's. Can I come in?"
Beca opened the door for her and looked at her confused, "Yea sure whats up?" The bath had just began to run and Beca was still in her clothes.
"I just wanted to be with my girlfriend... Maybe in the bath?" She winked, snaking her arms around the brunettes waist pulling her into her body so that she could capture her lips.
"Um... I was with you like five minutes ago, I'll be quick I promise" she turned in her grasp and flicked the water off.
"Boreee... Come on Bec's" she winked "we could just sit in the bath together? Maybe open a bottle of wine?" She flirted easily with the brunette.
"As much as I'm sure you do really want that, cut the crap. I know why you're here Chloe. You want to make sure i don't 'slip' with my razor" she air quoted. "It's fine I get it, I wouldn't trust me either"
Chloe sighed and looked saddened at her comment, "It's not that we don't trust you sweetie, it's just..." She trailed off.
"I know" she smiled reassuringly "If it makes you feel better you can stay... Just please don't drool at my insanely big biceps ahh" she tensed her arms causing a chuckle from the redhead.
"I love you sometimes..."
Beca froze along with Chloe, 'shit did I just say that out loud' she thought to herself, she had to recover. "Sorry, that's way too soon, I'm gonna freak you out. You just make me so happy I-"
"Chloe calm down it's okay, I love you sometimes too" she winked and chuckled to herself.
"I hate you" she smirked at the brunette.
"Will you turn for just a sec okay? I need to get undressed?" Beca broke their comfortable silence.
"Yea sure" she turned away forgetting how insecure Beca was about her body. In Chloe's eyes she was the most beautiful person she had ever laid eyes on, but she could never see it that way. She thought of herself as disgusting and that hurt Chloe, as Beca couldn't see her own potential.
"Done" beca said after she slipped into the bath, Chloe turned and sat alongside the bath rub so that she was facing the brunette.
"You're beautiful"
"Shut up" beca said, dipping her head under the water.
"You are." She said as the brunette resurfaced, causing a blush of pink to envelope her body.
"Just close your eyes while I get washed" she shook her head and smiled.
"But I like watching you"
Beca splashed water at the redhead, "fine. I give, I give." She closed her eyes "I'll just picture you naked" she smirked.
Beca was almost finished when the smirk on the redheads face was almost just too much to bear, "What are you smiling at?" She said exasperated.
"You are just soooo good with your hands" she laughed.
"Ewww what exactly is going on in that head of yours? In fact. Don't tell me!" She stood from the water and grabbed her towel.
"You can open them now"
"I don't think I want to... This is too good" she smirked, Beca threw her shirt at the redhead, her eyes opened abruptly at the contact,"hey!"
"Serves yourself right, now I'm going to get changed in my room. You're free to go" chloe stood up and walked out of the bathroom, kissing the brunette on the way.
Aubrey sat up from the sofa as she made her way back in, "everything okay?"
"Hunky dory, she's absolutely fine. Just getting dressed now fancy watching a film when she's back?" Aubrey let out the air she had been holding in and smiled.
"Yes. Sounds perfect"
