A/N: Thanks sooo much for the feedback! I love hearing what you think about the story and what you think should happen next. SO, Chloe screwed up a little. Okay, well a lot. Here is a little explanation and some filler...


"Explain that to me Chloe. How could you say I'm the only one you want to be with and then two days later be with someone else and then a month later you marry him? How does that happen? Because it sounds a lot like you were with him when we were together but I can't bring myself to believe that. I know you're not that person Chlo."

"I didn't cheat on you" Chloe whispered breathless. Beca's words had effectively taken her breath away and not in a good way.

"So explain what happened."

"I –I don't know" Chloe took a breath to steady herself. "The next day I had to be on set. I felt horrible and I looked horrible but Jess helped me make it through the day. Theo knew something was wrong and he was there for me. He took care of me. He was my Quinn I guess. I'm not even sure how it happened but we were outside the hotel and he just kissed me. I wasn't trying to be with him, I really wasn't. But when he kissed me I felt something and it was better than the numb feeling I had for the last two days. I didn't know there were pictures of that out there until Jessica showed me online the next day. I tried to call you but you wouldn't pick up or call me back. I wanted to explain it to you."

Beca remembered turning her phone off after Chloe had called for the 5th time that day. She knew exactly why she was calling after she overheard CR and Ashley talking about the pictures online. After seeing them with her own eyes, she turned the phone off and shut herself off to the world.

"I just all fell apart after that. I clung to him for dear life. I didn't love him but I couldn't be alone. I couldn't stand to be alone with myself. I hated myself. It just got worse and he asked me to marry him. So I did. I wasn't thinking, I just didn't want to be alone because when I was alone I would think of you. I guess I finally woke up 3 months after we got married. I woke up that morning and couldn't believe what I had done. I filed for an annulment but it wasn't granted by a judge so I filed for divorce. Theo didn't put up a fight and we signed the papers pretty quickly. It was finalized after a few weeks but we didn't put out any type of statement until a few months later. Our PR reps said it would look better in the press to have a marriage fail after a year than after 3 months. I was an idiot to listen to them." Chloe took a chance to try to read Beca's body language but couldn't get much a read on the girl.

"I know what I did was horrible. I was in so much pain I just wanted a way to dull it. I know it hurt you even more but you wouldn't talk to me and after I got married, Quinn didn't talk to me either. Not that I expected her too. I'm so sorry Beca. If I could take it all back, you have to believe that I would." Chloe finished and waited for Beca's response.

A couple days later Beca found herself walking into the Capitol Records Recording Studio. "Hey" She said pressing the button to speak to Quinn who was already in the live booth with her guitar.

"Hey" Quinn greeted before she put the guitar on its holder and control room. "What's up B?"

"Not much. You're here early."

"Yeah. Wanted to lay some stuff down for my partner who will know how to mix it all up and make us a hit record." Quinn said sitting down on one of the nearby couches.

"Sweet" Beca said sitting down behind the control board.

"Yeah, sweet" Quinn mimicked. She sat watching her best friend closely. She hadn't heard from her since she saw Beca and Chloe walking away down the beach on Saturday night and was expecting a happier Beca than the one sitting in front of her this morning.

"I don't want to talk about it" Beca said without turning around.

"So dinner didn't go well?"

"We didn't go to dinner." Beca glanced back at her friend. "And I don't want to talk about it."

"Because you said you were going to ask her to dinner and I saw you guys leave together so I just assumed that you asked her to dinner." Quinn had decided she didn't care if Beca wanted to talk about it or not. They were going to.

Beca sighed. "Nope. No dinner. Just walked and talked then went home. Alone. What part of I don't want to talk about it is confusing you?"

"That's good. You two need to talk instead of avoiding each other. What could have been so bad that you're here looking like that" Quinn said pointing her finger up and down at Beca.

There were the only two words she needed to explain everything to Quinn, "Theo James."

"So what did she say?" Jessica asked joining Chloe at her dining room table with a coffee in hand.

"Not much after that. She just asked if I was ready to go and we walked back to Quinn and Emma's. She drove me home so I didn't have to take a cab and she dropped me off. She didn't say anything in the car."

"I'm sorry Chloe. I mean it's a lot to take in, a lot to understand. I was there and still don't understand" Jessica said.

"I'm the one that got married and I still don't understand." Chloe chuckled.

"So what are you going to do?"

"I have no idea. I want to talk to her but I don't know if she just needs more time. What do you think?" Chloe asked.

"What's she doing today?"

"They are in the studio today."

"So go up there" Jessica suggested.

"I don't think that's the best idea. She might feel like I'm ambushing her."

"Send her something" Jessica suggested.

"Like flowers? Beca's not into that."

"Then I don't know Chloe. Text her."

4 days later Chloe knocked on the door with a coffee one hand and a tea in the other.

"Chloe. Hey babe. Come in."

"I'm sorry I didn't call."

"It's fine. I was just doing some laundry." Emma said walking with Chloe into her living room.

"I brought you a decaf black tea with milk."

"Thank you. How did you know?" Emma asked accepting the drink she had been craving all the time.

"I was texting Quinn this morning. I told her I may stop by to see you and she suggested I bring you this." Chloe explained.

"I love her" Emma said under her breath. "So what's up Chlo?"

"I haven't spoken to Beca for almost a week. I'm not sure how to approach her after the last conversation we had." Chloe admitted.

"Okay. I know you haven't been close to her in a couple years Chlo, but you know her. Her walls are just higher than before."

"I didn't think that was possible." Chloe smirked. "In college it was ridiculous how closed off she was."

"So what did you do to get through to her back then?" Emma asked.

"I busted into her shower uninvited and made her sing with me. Naked."

"Oh wow Chloe."

"I know. I don't think that's the way to go in this situation." Chloe reasoned.

"It could be worth a shot" Emma teased and both girls giggled.

"I guess I just didn't take no for an answer. I made her open up to me no matter how many times she pushed me away."

"So do that Chloe."

"But its different know."

"How is it different?" Emma asked.

"She has every reason to push me away. I fucked up and I hurt her." Chloe said sadly.

"We all make mistakes when we are hurting Chloe. Beca too. But we have to move on from them and let them go. That's Beca's problem and it always will be, she stews on things. I guarantee you she has been thinking about you but hasn't called you because it's easier for her to isolate herself in her favorite place with her favorite person."

"Quinn." Chloe and Emma said at the same time.

"And if my wife doesn't come home soon, I'll be making a trip up there and neither of them will be happy about it." Emma huffed.

"Quinn hasn't been home?" Chloe asked.

"Not for a couple of days. They have been locked in that studio like they are on the verge of curing cancer instead of recording music."

"Is that normal." Chloe asked.

"It happens from time to time. They get trapped in their own world. You know it's funny. As much as I know Quinn and as much as you know Beca, I think they are the only two people in the world that actually get each other. Remember when they first formed Vision? They would spend days without sleep working on mixes and writing lyrics. It's still like that."

"Do you ever go up there?"

"Sometimes. I always feel like I'm the third wheel when they are working. I know Quinn doesn't mean to make me feel that way but music isn't my thing." Emma explained.

"How about I go up there with you?" Chloe offered. "You can sneak your wife away, while I try to bust down Beca's walls. Again."

"Let me get changed." Emma said hoping up from the couch.


R&R ... another chapter soon!
