Chapter 11 - Jealousy

The next day Chloe was awoken by her phone ringing. Without looking at the name, she picked it up.

"What?"

"Hey, Mom! I was wondering if I could hang out with Beca today. She said to call you and ask first." Kylie said.

Chloe sat up. "Do you have to? You see Beca everyday. She might be busy."

"Please call her? " Kylie asked.

"I'll call her." Chloe sighed.

"Thanks! Love ya!" Kylie said and hung up.

"Why does she have to like Beca so much?" Chloe mumbled as she looked for Beca's contact name.

She called and soon enough Beca picked up.

"Hey, you. Miss me?" Beca said.

"Not as much as Kylie, I'm afraid." Chloe said. "Listen, I know she wants to spend the day with you, but if your busy then it's perfectly fine."

"Oh, ok. Well, I kind of am." Beca said.

"You are? What are you doing?" Chloe asked.

"I have a date with someone I met last night." Beca stated.

As soon as Chloe heard the words her heart ached and her stomach dropped.

I wonder if this is how she has been feeling.

"You do?" Chloe said.

"I do. Were going to lunch. I could come over after?" Beca asked.

"I don't know. If you want. Ya know, if you're not too busy." Chloe said coldy.

"Chlo, don't be like that. You just went on two dates. It's just one date. No big deal. Don't be jealous." Beca said playfully.

"I am not jealous! God, what is it with you and Aubrey and Stacie! I don't like you Beca! Just come whenever you're done." Chloe stated, in more of a yell and hung up.

Chloe sat in her bed huffing.

"How can she tell me not to be jealous!? Of course I'm jealous."

Chloe laid back down and shook her head. "I can't believe she thinks I'm jealous. Ha. Whatever."

Chloe called Kylie and let her know that Beca was busy, and that Kylie could come later if she wanted.

A few hours later and Chloe was cleaning the house to cool of her anger. When she was mad she would clean like crazy.

There was a knock on the door and she went to answer. She opened and saw Beca with a smug smile on her face.

"Hello, Ms. Beale. Looking beautiful as ever, I see."

Chloe was wearing a tank top with grey sweatpants that were rolled up and her hair in a messy high bun.

"Shut up." Chloe mumbled and turned around, leaving the door open for Beca.

Beca shook her head and walked in. "You do know you're the one who said you just wanted to be friends? You're the one who keeps going on dates? And you're the one who is mad for no reason!" Beca said as she followed Chloe upstairs.

Chloe stopped at the top of the stairs. "How did it go?"

Beca smiled sarcastically. "Great. How did yours go?"

Chloe shrugged. "Fine." And walked into her room.

Beca followed. "Did you kiss him?"

Chloe turned around and scoffed. "Is that any of your business?"

Beca sat on Chloe's bed as she started to clean her bathroom.

"So you did." Beca stated.

"He kissed me." Chloe said defensively.

"But you kissed back?" Beca said with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah. It was ok, I guess." Chloe mumbled. "Did you kiss your date?" Chloe asked.

"Last night. A little bit more than kissing, actually." Beca stated flirtatiously.

Chloe's mouth opened and she turned her body towards Beca. "You had sex?"

Beca shrugged. "Maybe."

Chloe walked up to her. "You really did?"

Before Beca could answer Kylie ran through the door downstairs, yelling, "I'm here!"

Beca laughed and got up. Chloe sat down and slumped.

How can she of just had sex with someone she just met? Well, I can see why. But still! God, I sound so fucking selfish, but I can't help it.

A few hours later it was around dinner and Tom just texted Chloe to let her know he was here.

"Kylie, Dads here. I'll walk you. Say bye to Beca." Chloe said.

Kylie stood up and hugged Beca. "See you Monday."

Beca nodded and Chloe shot her a glare.

Chloe walked out with Kylie and started talking to Tom. They were on very good terms, thankfully.

"So, I hear you had a date?" Tom asked.

"Yeah. It went fine." Chloe said with a shrug.

"So. Kylie really likes Beca, huh?" Tom said with a laugh.

Chloe scoffed. "Yeah."

"You don't?"

"Well, not like that! I mean, I guess we are friends. Sure. She's ok." Chloe said nervously.

"She's bad a huuuge crush on Beca!" Kylie said from the back.

Tom raised an eyebrow and laughed at Chloe's red face. "I'll see you later, Chlo." He said and then left.

Chloe walked back into the house. She was still angry and wanted to yell at Beca to get her anger out.

"I can't believe you had sex with someone you just met! Is that what you do? You just fuck random girls? You go out and find some random chick and then sleep with her that means completely nothing to you?" Chloe yelled as she ran into the family room.

Beca laughed with a scoff and shook her head. "Yes, Chloe. That's what I fucking do when I'm trying to get over someone. I've been waiting around for almost two months for you. You've been on two dates for Christ sake! So, yes. I went out with my friends last night, met a girl, and had sex. I'm tired of waiting around for you to get your head out of your ass and realize that you have feelings for me!" Beca stated as she stood up.

"No one asked you to wait." Chloe mumbled.

"Yeah, well I wanted to. I thought you were worth it, but you're not." Beca stated and she walked to the door with Chloe following her.

Beca stopped. "And who the fuck do you think you are, Chloe? I can go and have sex with who ever I want. And don't expect me to keep waiting for you. I'm done with you and whatever we had."

Chloe teared up and was speechless. She crossed her arms and nodded weakly.

Beca walked out the door without another word.

Chloe took a deep breath and wiped some stray tears. "I am so stupid."

Beca drove back to the girls house she was with, and didn't care what Chloe thought about her. She was going to have as much sex as she wanted; and no one could tell her otherwise.

Chloe walked back in to the family room and sat down. She kind of felt like crying; but she also felt like screaming. Chloe laid down and covered her eyes. She couldn't stop thinking about how badly she fucked up. After a long time, she drifted off into a light sleep.

At about eleven-thirty Chloe woke up. She checked her phone and had a message from Jason.

'Jason: Hey, Chlo. I was wondering if you wanted to grab a bite to eat?'

Chloe let out a breath. She checked the message time and it said five-thirty.

"Well, it's a little too late for that."

Chlo? The nickname she had been called by everyone. The nickname Chloe hated before Beca came in to her life. The nickname that made her cringe because of how unoriginal it was. Chlo was all it took before Chloe's mind started to race again.

I love Beca.

Chloe sat up. "I love Beca."

She stood up. "I fucking love Beca."

Chloe stood for another moment and smiled. "I love Beca!"

She ran to the kitchen and grabbed her car keys, forgetting a jacket she ran outside to her car and got in.

"I love Beca." She said again.

Chloe started her car and drove to Beca's apartment, not caring that Beca probably hated her right now. She needed to tell her that she really did love her.
