I freakin crying! It took me so long to write this chapter and the second it was done my laptop freaked out and deleted ALL of my process! I already had immense writers block and I was struggling so hard to do this!
So I'm just gonna say … I know this stupid chapter sucks, I got stuck for over 3 months writing it and finally when inspiration (kind off) hits life kicks you to the curb….
This was my rant and I'm sorry but I'm just freakin pissed right now!
Hope you like the chapter :/
For Good: Chapter 10
It's been two weeks since they arrived and Beca's birthday is just around the corner and Chloe has been freaking out. She has been planning the perfect thing and as it turns out Beca won't be home that evening. She's DJ-ing at a new club that opened around 6 months ago. Beca invited Chloe to come and enjoy her time before starting at the hospital next week. Chloe really wanted to decline but changed her mind almost instantly. She could still make her plan work, it just needs another approach. No way she was going to back down, this is the moment she has been waiting for. The moment where she proves how much she really cares about the brunette.
The day seems to pass agonizingly slow and the moment has come for Beca to leave. "Alright, a car will come pick you up at 8, when you get there your name will be on the list. If something's wrong give me a call and I'll come for you." Chloe can't help but giggle at the adorable thinking face Beca puts up. "I get it, now go before you're late. They need their awesome DJ." The redhead quickly pecks her friend/housemate on her cheek before pushing her out the door.
"Oh and Becs? Don't forget your stuff." A sloppy grin makes its way up to Beca's face and takes her bag from the redhead. "Thanks Chlo, where would I be without you… anyway, I'll see you soon. Before I forget, there's someone I'd like you to meet tonight." Chloe rolls her eyes. "Well that won't happen if you don't get there on time so shoo…" Beca nods and flies down the stairs leaving a laughing Chloe behind. "Alright Ella, we have 3 hours before I have to leave. Are you going to help me with the surprise?" The adorable bark sets Chloe in motion while the little Yorkshire terrier follows her everywhere.
"What do you think? Will she like the surprise?" Chloe asks after checking if everything's in place. The quick and extremely loud barking makes Chloe smile. "If you say so munchkin… Now, will you help me pick out a dress?" Chloe barely finished her sentence and the little dog is off running up the stairs. "You're one smart little dog aren't you?" She mutters to herself, following the little canine.
Chloe settles on a simple black dress that leaves her back relatively open with matching shoes and Beca's old leather jacket. She hasn't worn it in a very long time, yet today it seemed fitting. Checking her phone Chloe notices the time. "Time to go, see you later Ella." With an awkward wave and a smile Chloe leaves the apartment. Outside she's met by Drew.
"Hey little red, how's your stay here so far?" The manager opens his arms for a hug which Chloe happily accepts. "Let's go, Beca is waiting for you. She's keeping the best for last." Drew ushers the redhead into the car before following her. "I haven't seen Beca this happy about performing in a long time." Drew admits with a soft smile. "I don't know how to answer that, honestly." Drew rolls his eyes and shakes his head. "Just promise me that you won't hurt her again?"
"I promise, I'm going to do everything in my power to make her trust in me again. I made many mistakes and I hope that over time she'll forgive me." Drew laughs whole heartedly. "Stop doing that, I have had one too many conversations with Beca to know that she never held a grudge against you." Chloe's eyes widen. "Believe me… anyway we're here. Beca's inside and waiting for you." Chloe takes a deep breath and opens the door. "Thank you, for everything."
With a last wave Drew's car disappears leaving Chloe alone with her thoughts. She makes her way towards the line and waits until it's her turn. "Are you on the list?" The giant bouncer scares the bejeezus out of the redhead yet she manages to mutter her name. "I'm sorry kid, you're not on the list. Step aside." With a slight push Chloe is out of the line.
[Chloe]
Becs, where are you? My name's not on the list :(
[Beca]
Hold on, let me set up a playlist! Meet you outside in 10 :)
[Chloe]
Great, see you soon
Just like Beca promised a little less than 10 minutes later she creeps up behind the redhead. She places her fingers in the redhead's sides and tickles her. "Aaaah Beca!" Chloe turns around in Beca's arms. "You're wearing my jacket?" Beca asks with a smirk. "Yeah uhm is that a bad thing? I mean I can take it off if you w…" Beca shushes Chloe in the less conventional way possible. The second their lips meet all of their worries fade away.
Beca pulls away with a shocked expression. "Sorry, I should not have done that… not yet." Chloe shakes her head. "Yeah – no I get it, you uhm just took me by surprise?" Beca nods. "We should talk about that later but right now we really have to go inside before the playlist ends." Before Chloe can answer she gets pulled inside via the back door. "Go, have fun and I'll see you later. If you get bored give me a visit in the booth… Oh and when you order a drink show them this." Beca hands Chloe a VIP bracelet. "Drinks are on me."
Everything seems to fine. Beca is having fun in the booth stealing glances at Chloe who happily returns them. They even text while doing that and with each text their smiles grow bigger. Chloe just sent another text back to the brunette getting distracted by a big hand on her lower back. "Hey how'bout you and I go have some fun." Chloe reluctantly tries to turn around. "Sorry but I'm not interested." The black haired guy does not seem pleased. "Come on baby, I can rock your world."
"She said she wasn't interested…" Chloe turns around and falls of the bar stool into someone's arms. "No one asked you, you little dyke." Chloe looks up and sees Beca calmly looking at the guy, still holding her upright. "I'm giving you one chance to leave before I call security." The guy bursts out in laughter. "And how do you think you'll manage that." Not even a minute later the guy gets escorted out by the same security guy that didn't let Chloe in. "Come with me?" Chloe nods and follows Beca up to the booth, still unsure of what just went down.
"Are you alright?" Beca's voice is filled with concern. "I-I'm fine." The brunette just nods. "Miss Mitchell? Do you need Jason to take over?" She nods not completely paying attention because she's focused on the redhead before her. "Also, there's someone waiting for you in the breakroom?" This does catch Beca's attention. "Thank you, I'll head down there immediately. Oh and cancel the meeting for tomorrow and set it for next week."
"Sure thing miss Mitchell." Beca lets out a sigh. "Call me Beca, please… now if you're excuse me I have somewhere to be." The brunette takes Chloe's hand and takes her to a secluded room where a familiar blonde is waiting for them. "Ah Laura, sorry for keeping you waiting but we had some… complications." The psychiatrist nods with a smile. "And you must be Chloe, it's great to finally meet you."
"I'm sorry to disturb but Jason needs your help in the booth." Beca turns around with a sigh. "Sure, I'll be up in a minute." The brunette lets out a breath. "I really need to take care of this, I'll be back soon." Beca quickly leaves the room leaving a very nervous Chloe behind with her psychiatrist.
"So… you're Beca's psychiatrist." The blonde lets out a laugh. "Don't feel weird about this, I have been wanting to meet you since the first time I met Beca. She speaks highly of you, even after the break-up. I assume you have many questions and I want you to feel free to ask me anything." Chloe thinks about several questions running through her mind.
"I have one question, it's a yes or no question so nothing that will break your confidentiality. Of course." Lauren flashes Chloe a warm smile. "Does she still have nightmares? I just want to know because I remember how hard they were on her." The blonde takes a deep breath before answering."She does have nightmares and I think you should talk to her about it, she should tell you about them."
"Hey, everything alright here?" Beca bursts in carrying her bag and jacket. "Beca be careful!" Chloe rushes towards the brunette and takes the heavy bag from her. "Chlo relax, I'm fihiine…" The angry stare from the redhead shuts her up immediately which of course elicits a chuckle from the blonde behind them. "Ok, I will see you next time you need me and I hope to meet you again soon." The psychiatrist leaves the room with a smile.
"What about we head home?" Chloe's heart flutters. "Home?" Beca nods. "Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that… what if you don't leave and stay with me? I uhm I kind of missed having someone living with me." Chloe cocks her head to the right and smirks. "Let's talk about it at home, we have other things to discuss as well."
The two make their way back to the apartment, Beca driving them while listening to the radio. The brunette drives the car into the garage, getting out to help Chloe out of the car. "Thank you Becs." Taking the brunette's hand she easily gets pulled out. "Any time Chlo, any time." Chloe gets pulled in closer not noticing Beca reclaiming her bag. "Do you want to go up? So we can talk?" Beca whispers. Chloe nods slowly.
Beca smiles, taking Chloe's hand pulling her towards the elevator. The ride up is filled with comfortable silence with Chloe leaning on Beca's shoulder. Both are a bit disappointed when the ride ends yet they are happy that they're finally home. "Before we go in I wanted to say something." Chloe stops them before entering. Checking her watch and smiling at the time. "Happy birthday Becs, I'm happy to be here with you today." If it was physically possible Chloe could swear Beca's smile grew even bigger.
"You know, every wish I made for past year had been for you to be here today. I guess my wish came true." Beca can't take it anymore, she needs Chloe and right now no matter what happened in the past year and pushing the fact that they still need to talk away. Beca lunges forward pushing Chloe against the door kissing her with everything she has. Passing the initial shock Chloe quickly obliges and kisses the brunette back.
They manage to stumble into the apartment, Beca trying to drop her bag as carefully as possible without breaking the kiss but it proves to be a tiny bit more difficult so they break the kiss. Chloe takes that moment to take of her shoes only to realize that Beca hasn't moved since placing her bag down. "W-what's all this?" Beca breaks the silence. "This uhm… this is supposed to be your birthday present?" Beca walks into the living room taking everything in.
The space is covered with pictures dating from the first date until the last time they saw each other. "When was this picture taken and by whom?" The brunette points at a specific picture where Chloe and her are sleeping in Chloe's room. "Aubrey, she took it when you all stayed over for my birthday." Beca hums softly. "Are those notes I wrote to you? And… are these articles from magazines?"
Beca can't believe Chloe actually kept all of this. "So… what do you think?" The tears in Beca's eyes are threatening to spill when she turns to face the redhead. "This is the best thing ever, all of these memories and you kept them? Why?" Beca's voice is shaky. "I could never thrown them away, even though I was angry at the time – not that I had the right to be – I still loved you… still love you."
Beca pulls Chloe into a tight hug with the intention of never letting go…
