Chapter 12- Epilogue
Three years later
"Becs! Come on we have to leave in like….. now!" Chloe yells as she runs through the apartment, checking her watch.
"Sorry my earring fell out and I had to find it."
"Okay but we need to hurry. You know how Aubrey gets when we're late."
Both women ran out the door and towards the car. They got in, Chloe taking the driver's seat while Beca sat on the passenger side.
"Here babe, put that address into the GPS." Chloe said, handing Beca the small device and a piece of paper Aubrey had written on. Quickly, Beca typed in the address. They were going to a fancy restaurant to celebrate Aubrey's law firm becoming number one in the state.
"Okay I put it in, now what?" Beca asked. Chloe giggled, turned her head, and winked at the brunette.
"Oh my god Beale, now is not the time. We're late and Aubrey will blame me, not you. I'll have to endure the wrath of beast Posen." Beca whined.
"Whatever. You know you love it." Chloe said with a wink. Beca let out a frustrated groan and turned on the radio.
'Next up we have DJ Mitchell's newest single, Red Haired Love. Don't forget to catch this chick's performance at the Grammys next week!'
"No." Beca grumbled. She reached over to change the station but a hand stopped her.
"Beca Mitchell I swear if you change the station I will make you sleep on the couch and I will not kiss you for a week." Chloe threatened.
"Ugh, I just get tired of hearing my songs all the time."
"Yea but who got you into the business? I did and I wanna listen to this song." Chloe stated.
Beca looked out the passenger side window, remembering how she got discovered. It turns out that one of Chloe's student's father was a talent scout for a record label. Chloe wouldn't elaborate how she did it exactly but somehow, her mixes made it to the label and she was hired as a music producer. Then her songs became chart toppers and now, 'DJ Mitchell' is winning Grammys. Beca looked over at Chloe and smiled.
An hour later, the women exited the car and headed towards the restaurant. Outside, the paparazzi were waiting for them to arrive.
"Man these people have no lives. How did they even begin to know we'd be here?" Beca asked.
"I don't know but here." Chloe answered, handing Beca a pair of sunglasses from her purse while slipping her own on.
"You're prepared for everything. It's like you're perfect." The brunette said and Chloe giggled. The two intertwined their hands and walked quickly into the restaurant. After being bombarded by photographers, they finally reached the hostess.
"Hi, what's the reservation name?" the hostess asked.
"Oh it's under Posen." Chloe said. She removed her sunglasses and put them back into her purse. Beca did the same.
"Alright ladies you can follow me."
They followed the hostess to a secluded table in the back corner of the restaurant. Aubrey was already there along with Jesse. Jesse walked up to Beca and wrapped her in a big hug.
"Becaw! You're here." Jesse said as he released her.
"Yea, yea I'm here. Didn't want to evoke the wrath of blondie." She replied. Jesse laughed and playfully hit her shoulder.
"That's my girlfriend you're talking about." He said. Beca laughed and brushed him off. She still thought it was weird seeing them together. He had come over to Chloe's apartment one day looking for Beca but instead found Aubrey. Apparently it was love at first sight for both of them but Beca would still kick some ass if Aubrey ever hurt her best friend.
The DJ headed towards her girlfriend. Chloe and Aubrey were chatting about what the next move for the company might be.
"I don't know Bree, maybe you should expand and heat to other big cities." The redhead told Aubrey.
"Maybe. We do have a solid firm here, so expanding couldn't hurt. But there's so much risk."
Beca walked up behind Chloe and wrapped her arms around her waist. Chloe relaxed into the embrace and turned her head to place a soft kiss on the brunette's cheek.
"Babe, tell Aubrey I'm right." Chloe told Beca.
"Aubrey she's right."
Jesse stood behind the blonde and made a noise that resembled a whip crack. Aubrey snickered and Chloe laughed.
"Ha ha Jesse but we all know Aubrey has you whipped just as much as me." Beca retorted.
"Can't fight you there." He said, wrapping an arm around the lawyer's waist. After talking about the company's future, the group sat down at the table. A waitress came and took their orders. A while later the food arrived. The group ate talked about Beca's new upcoming album and the label. Soon, everyone had finished their meals. They got up and said their goodbye's. Walking towards the front of the restaurant, Beca noticed that the paparazzi had remained outside.
"Shit… Chlo can you get me my glasses?" Beca asked. Chloe nodded, giving Beca hers and retrieving her own.
"Okay here goes nothing." Beca said.
The couple walked out the front and headed towards their car.
"Hey Beca! I heard about the album, are you excited?" a reported asked.
"It's gonna be the best yet." She replied.
"Beca, we've heard reports that a man named Tom has been released from jail. Does that ring a bell?"
Beca froze in her tracks. Chloe turned around to look at the DJ. Slowly, Beca walked towards the reporter.
"What?" she asked, anger evident in her voice.
"That struck a chord. Care to elaborate?" the reporter taunted.
Beca was fuming. She took a few steps towards the man, her fist clenched. The man backed away but raised his camera and snapped a few photos of the angry star. Beca was about to punch the man when she felt an arm wrap around her middle. She looked back to see Chloe leading her towards the car. The redhead's touch instantly calmed the DJ. They reached the car and hopped in. Chloe pulled out of the parking lot and headed towards home.
"You wanna tell me what that was about?" Chloe asked. Beca sat in silence, contemplating telling Chloe. Did she really need to know? Was the information about Tom even true? Did he escape? Chloe looked over at the brunette. Beca's face was contorted into a pained look. Slowly, the redhead moved her hand to rest on the other woman's knee.
"Beca you can tell me." Chloe said reassuringly.
Sighing, Beca gave in. "The reporter back there. He said th-that Tom had been released from jail." The DJ replied, tears evident in her voice. Chloe gasped, her eyes wide in shock. The redhead tightened her grip on Beca knee.
"That can't be right. Bree would've been informed and so would we. Besides he still has a few years left right? There's no way he's out." Chloe reassured Beca. The DJ nodded. She turned her head and looked out the window, focusing on the passing scenery. Once they arrived home Beca went straight to bed. Chloe thought about going after the brunette but decided that the smaller woman needed some space. Chloe was conflicted. She believed that Tom was still in jail but was she uncertain. A wave of doubt washed over her. Giving in to her doubt, she picked up her phone and dialed Aubrey.
"Aubrey Posen"
"Bree why do you answer like that when you know it's me?"
"Sorry Chlo, force of habit. Now what's up?"
"Bree I need you to check something for me."
"Check what? What's going on?"
"A reporter stopped us outside the restaurant when we left. He said that Tom was out of prison."
"What? That's not possible. I would've been warned and so would you. And besides, doesn't he have a couple more years left anyways?"
"That's what I thought Bree, but now I'm not so sure."
"Well the office is closed right now but I'll call first thing tomorrow morning."
"Thanks Bree. Beca's really shaken up about this whole thing you know?"
"Yea that's completely understandable. I'll call you tomorrow Chloe, night."
"Night Bree." Chloe said as she hung up her phone. Sighing, she decided that it was time to go to bed as well. She walked into their bedroom to find Beca curled into a ball on the bed. Chloe changed and joined her. The redhead wrapped her arms around the curled up Beca. She felt the DJ shake. Chloe gently rolled Beca over and pulled her into her lap. She held Beca as she cried. The DJ sobbed for about an hour before she looked at Chloe.
"I'm sorry for breaking down like that. It's just… the reality of the situation finally hit me. If Tom's out of jail, the first thing he'd want to do is get revenge." Beca whispered. Chloe tensed and held Beca closer.
"Becs I talked to Aubrey. She said that we would've been notified if he was released. She's checking first thing tomorrow morning. We'll be fine Beca." Chloe reassured her. Beca nodded in response. The redhead gently lay down, pulling the brunette on top of her. She pulled the covers up around them and relaxed. Chloe ran her fingers through the smaller woman's hair until she felt her breathing even out. She closed her crystal blue eyes and let sleep overcome her.
OoOoOoO
Chloe awoke the next morning to the smell of burning toast. Grumbling, she scooted out of bed and made her way into the kitchen. There, she saw Beca frantically throwing the hot piece of toast onto a plate. Chloe laughed and walked up behind the brunette.
"Becs what are you doing?" Chloe asked nuzzling her head into the back of Beca's neck. The smaller woman shivered and replied. "I decided to be nice and make breakfast but I suck with a toaster."
"Yea babe, I'd stick to bacon and eggs." Chloe replied. Beca smiled and brought their plates to the table. The two sat down and began to eat. Half way through the meal, Chloe's phone rang. Quickly, she got up and looked to see who was calling. Seeing the name Chloe answered.
"Chlo I have great news."
The End
