Chloe stood in the front of her house as the party inside was loud and obnoxious.
"Hey stranger." Chloe heard. "What are you doing here?" She asked looking up and finding Stacie walking to her. "Well, it's a huge party. One that Alex invited me and the other's too. Beca said maybe she'll come, everyone else is already inside. At lunch, we were all upset with you, but it wasn't exactly your fault and I don't think they understand that, but I do now." Stacie said.
The redhead looked up at her. "But it is." She said with guilt lacing through her voice. "Tell me how that is." Stacie said.
"Stace, even if this time wasn't my fault, what about everything else? I should've never taken that stupid bet." chloe said taking the last drink of her beer before tossing the cup somewhere in the yard then walking inside for Stacie to follow her.
"Yes! You maybe you shouldn't have! But if you didn't, we never would've actually hung out!" Stacie exclaimed as Chloe's hand was suddenly grabbed by Pete.
"It's your turn for the keg stand." He smirked. Chloe looked at Stacie. "What, no, this is not a good time for her to get drunk." Stacie said grabbing Chloe's other hand. Chloe couldn't help but giggle at the situation.
"It's a party. Her party, it's required." Chloe looked at Stacie. "Stace, it's not like I'm hurting Beca. Right?" Stacie frowned.
"Chloe, you are hurting yourself if you are doing this." She said. "I'll meet you outside." Chloe said. Stacie sighed letting Chloe go and following her and Pete instead of going back outside.
Stacie was surprised to see Chloe was going longer than she has ever gone. It was a little over a minute and half. She looked down at the ground with slight guilt knowing she should've stopped this.
"That wasn't to bad." She heard and looked up. "You're a fucking idiot." She said looking at Chloe. "I knew that the moment I took that damn bet, you don't need to tell me that." Chloe said. Stacie rolled her eyes and stopped Chloe when she started walking to the cooler that held beer.
"You aren't having anymore beer." The tall brunette said. "You aren't the boss of me cotton swab." Chloe laughed. Stacie looked around hoping she'd see Luke, Aubrey, Jesse, or Fat amy. She didn't.
When she turned around she saw Chloe by the cooler chugging a can of beer as she was staring at her.
"Chloe!" She yelled with anger. Chloe dropped the can and ran off. "Chloe get back here!" The tall brunette yelled.
"Whoah Stace, slow down. What's going on?" Jesse asked with a smile as he took a swig of his beer. Stacie grabbed it and threw it at the floor.
"Chloe's trying to get drunk off her ass because she feels guilty for hurting Beca. We need to stop her before she makes everything worse." Stacie said with anger. Jesse nodded. "Let's go. I'll go through the kitchen. You keep going through the living room, eventually we'll meet up to the backyard." Jesse said and they split up.
About 20 Minutes Later:
"I can't believe we still haven't found her." Jesse breathed out as he and Stacie stood out back.
"I haven't found her." Fat Amy walked up. "Well, did someone check her room?" Stacie asked. "I did." Aubrey said sneaking her arms around Stacie's waist.
"Fuck, for all we know she could be drunk dialing Beca!" Stacie exclaimed. "Who's drunk dialing me?" Beca appeared. "FUCK!" Stacie yelled and everyone around her jumped, not just her friends.
"Beca… you showed up. How are you?" Jesse asked nervously. "Yeah, we didn't think you'd actually come." Aubrey said just as nervously.
"Um yeah… I just decided to come here and hang out with you guys. I mean, I know Chloe's here, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from having fun you know?" Beca said. Everyone nodded nervously.
"Why are you all acting so weird?" The tiny brunette asked. "What? Weird? We are totally… not acting weird." Fat Amy said.
"Stacie!" Stacie turned around and saw Luke. "What?" She asked. "I found Chlo-o-o-othes. I found clothes!" Luke stuttered when he saw Beca. Beca looked at everyone with confusion.
"Clothes? Why would you need clothes?" She asked. Everyone remained silent.
"Chloe! Chloe! Chloe! Chloe!" They all heard chanting and saw Chloe and the whole football team and other people following her.
"What are they doing?" Aubrey asked. "They were playing truth or dare. She's drunk. She picked dare." Luke breathed out. Everyone's eyes widened. "Luke… what was the dare?" Beca trailed off.
Luke looked at them nervously. "Jump through the fire." He said. Their eyes widened. "Dude, that isn't a small fire, that's a fucking bonfire." Beca said. "I know." The brit mumbled. "And you didn't stop her!" Aubrey exclaimed. Luke shrugged. They all saw Chloe standing a few feet away from the fire with everyone surrounding the fire but making room for her for her to jump through it.
"Chloe! Wait!" Beca yelled and everyone ran u to her.
"Becaaa, I was gon' call you. I decide not to when Pete and Leo asked me to play truth or dare. It's a ver' fun game. It would be more fun if you play." Chloe slurred. Beca shook her head. "No. And you are done playing." Beca said trying to pull Chloe away from the crowd.
"No, you don' like me no more. I'm stayin' here." Chloe said and everyone in the crowd cheered at her last three words.
"Chloe, they are taking advantage of your drunken state." Stacie said through gritted teeth. "I supposed to be stayin' away fro' Becs." Chloe slurred pushing Beca towards Jesse and falling back in the process but a girl behind her kept her on her feet.
"Stay up Beale." The girl said. "Thank you Tara." Chloe smiled drunkenly. "No problem. And guys, I am doing everything I can to ke-" "No. You aren't. She's about to jump into a damn bonfire, no through it. In case you haven't noticed, she's too drunk to even stand up straight." Jesse said with anger cutting the purple haired girl off.
Tara sighed. "We're just trying to have fun because Chloe gave us the win." She said. "Fun. Fun?! You giving her a third degree burn is fun?!" Beca yelled with anger. Chloe giggled. "You're sexy when you're angry." The tiny brunette rolled her eyes.
"It's a party Mitchell, of course it's fun. Plus, if she does get set on fire, we have a pool right there." Tara said pointing to the back of the yard. "She's not doing it Tara." Fat Amy said.
"I don' have say in it?" Chloe asked with confusion. "Yes, you do. They aren't the ones in charge of you Chloe. You are in charge of you. So it's up to you for what you want." Tara said. Chloe nodded and looked at Beca and the group.
"I supposed stay away fro' you." Chloe said pressing her pointer finger against Beca's chest before turning towards the fire.
"That's what I thought. Chloe! Chloe! Chloe!" Tara started the chant again as she stared at Beca, Stacie, Aubrey, Luke, Jesse, and Fat Amy with a smirk.
"Fine. If that's what you wanna do Chloe, then do it. If you get hurt, remember that I tried stopping you. It's not our fault, it's your's." Beca said turning and walking away. "Beca wait!" Stacie exclaimed running after her. "She's drunk!" Aubrey yelled running with Stacie. Fat Amy, Jesse, and Luke quickly followed.
What am I doing? Chloe thought as she looked at the blurry fire that was a few feet in front of her.
"Chloe! Chloe! Chloe!" She heard around her. She shook her head and took a deep breath before running.
"YEAH!" "WHOOOO!" "GO GIRL!" And all other things were being screamed as she jumped through the fire.
Once Chloe was through the fire and at the other side she felt burning at her arm and hand along with her whole right side of her body.
"Chloe!" She heard her brother and her eyes widened when she was slowly realizing what was happening. She jumped up and down as people ran to her while some cheering, laughing, and/or yelling. She dropped to the ground as she was to dizzy, due to her drunken state.
"Get water dammit!" Alex yelled with anger as he tried putting the fire out on Chloe's side with his own jacket along with three other people while Chloe tried putting it out herself.
Suddenly Chloe was splashed with a bucketful of water and the fire was out.
"Chloe? Hey, you alright?" Alex asked with worry. Chloe looked at him and nodded and everyone cheered. Chloe laughed. "I'm awesome. Except, I need beer 'cuz I'm feeling a little less drunk, and we can't have that.." She smiled. Alex rolled his eyes. "No. No more." He said. Chloe looked at him with confusion and Tara walked up next to him.
"Come on Beale, you're hanging out with me for the rest of the night." Tara smiled.
