She was running, someone was following her and she could clearly feel how he was getting closer, her heart was on her ears, her vision was blurry because of the tears, she was so scared, she couldn't think straight, but that's when a pair of strong arms grabbed her and throw her to the nearest wall, making so hard for her to move, he was holding her with tremendous strength.
"P-pl-ease st-stop…" she was begging with weak voice but an evil laughter went out of this shadow with no face that was holding her.
He got close to her ear and whispered "You're gonna regret all…" she cried out because the hands of this thing started to roam her body.
Suddenly she felt how everything faded into a powerful light that could almost blind her but she closed her eyes and as soon as the grip of that thing freed her she kneeled down and hug her legs tightly, the only thing that she could hear was her own heart, she was trying to breath.
Soft hands were around her after a moment and she could hear how this thing was humming her favorite song and saying 'I'll Protect You…' over and over again and a sense of peace washed over her.
"Beca…" the redhead woke up in the middle of the night sighing the brunette's name and sweating on her bed, she sighed heavily again and passed a hand through her hair trying to make sense of her dream and a reason why she was in her bed.
The last thing she remembered was the brunette hugging her tightly while singing her a beautiful song, and that's when she saw it, laid down her bed it was a leather jacket and it was strange for her, she didn't have one, nor her aunts, she picked it up and then the smell hit her. It was Beca's jacket.
An instant smile took over her features, she took it and held it close to her for a moment and then thought it was creepy so she put the jacket close to her and laid down again in bed sighing contently, then she looked up to her left where her night stand was and saw a carefully folded piece of paper, she frowned.
She never leave papers on her night stand like that, so she just took it, she opened it and saw it had some written stuff, she turned on her night lamp and smiled, it was Beca's handwriting.
Hey You! :D
Good morning!
I just wanted to be the first one saying that… I hope I am…
I also hope that you had a great beauty sleep, even though you don't need it because you are already beautiful… Dammit! I sure ramble even writing stuff, but I'm so lazy to erase it so… :D
I wanted to say that, I'll pick you up tomorrow to go to school and stuff… So you feel safe…
You can totally tell me if you don't want to… Send me a message to know if it's ok…
Ok so… see you in a bit :D
Beca
The redhead cheeks were hurting for excessive amount of happiness she was feeling, the brunette kind of just know what to say or do and she was getting dangerously under her skin in a good way, in a perfect way… But still you should be careful, we need to know her first… I know… she sighed again and took the note close to her chest while picking her phone to see what time it was.
3am! Ugh! Then she noticed that she got a message and she hesitated to open it, she held her phone firm on her hand, closed her eyes and opened the message hoping there wasn't anything scary, then she shoot her eyes and by seeing that name a bright big smile took over her again.
Beca: Hey Red! :D Just wanted to tell you that I got home safe... even though you are probably still asleep… Um… I think I left my jacket there… I'll pick it up tomorrow morning… :D
Beca: Have you thought about me giving you a ride?
Beca: Dumb question… You're still probably asleep… Anyway… Answer me when you wake up :D Hope you have a good sleep. She didn't understand why these messages made her feel like this, but she liked it, she actually felt safe when the brunette was around.
Chloe: Hi… Um… Yeah it's here, it's safe don't worry :) and yeah, you can come over… I can prepare us breakfast if you like :D she hit sent and set herself again under the covers, but before she could close her eyes her phone chimed again.
Beca: Yay! Food! :D Are you feeling better?… The redhead sighed and thought of not answering but she would feel guilty because Beca's been there for her these past days and seemed unfair not telling her anything.
Chloe: Way better actually… Thank you Beca :) What are you doing up this late btw?
Beca: Is not that late…
Beca: DAMN! IT'S 3AM?! this made the redhead chuckle.
Beca: I lost track of time while mixing ._. I guess I better go sleep :D See you tomorrow?
Chloe: Totes! :D And with that she got herself some more hours of sleeping.
The next day she woke up by her own without her aunt's help and she felt happy about it and despite she slept just a bit after the quick chat with the brunette she was feeling refreshed.
So she got up from bed and took a shower humming contently a song that was stuck in her head but didn't remember the name of it, a soft knock on the bathroom door made her peek from the inside of the shower to see her aunt smiling at her.
"Seems you woke up early today pumpkin…" and Chloe sighed and nodded "You seem happy…" she smiled.
"I am…" She said shyly and went back to the shower.
"I'm glad to hear that…" she sighed happily "Don't forget to take your pills baby and we see you downstairs…" she said while getting out of the bathroom but stopped in her tracks "By the way… Beca told us yesterday that she was coming so we made breakfast for her too… you should text her to come over and eat…" and with that she left the room with a beaming redhead under the hot water.
This was the fifth outfit she put on but it didn't convince her one bit, she kind of wanted to impress Beca with something casual but not that casual, she scoffed and called the woman that always helped feel pretty "Aunt Sophie?! Can you come?!" And a muffled 'yes' was heard from downstairs.
She didn't took long to get into the redhead's room "How can I help you baby girl?..." she said beaming, she knew why Chloe called her.
"I don't know what to wear…" she pouted a little making her aunt laugh a bit "I'm serious auntie…"
"I know you are baby but your pout was adorable!" She said clapping excitedly and hugging her "Now… I assume you want to impress Beca?..." and Chloe's face turned to the same shade of her hair "Hm… I see…" she walked over the redhead's wardrobe and took out a beautiful blue not-so-short romper and a pair of matching flats "What do you say about this?..." she asked tentatively, Sophie knew that it was difficult for Chloe to show much of her skin but trying to push her a little out of her shell was a thing she did just to help her little by little.
The redhead bit her lip a bit strong for her liking thinking if it was good idea but then her insecurities took over her, the fact that she stayed after a paranoia episode doesn't mean she'll stay after seeing those scars… her negative thoughts crept out and shook her head, her aunt knew the answer right away but she had to try, in the end she wanted a happy life for her niece too and pushing too hard wasn't good.
"Ok then… jeans it is…" she said still smiling, she took some light blue jeans, white converse and white long-sleeved blouse, handled to her niece and then went to hug her "You are beautiful ok?... Never doubt that…" She kissed her temple and looked at her with a big smile "Now hurry so we can all breakfast together" and the redhead nodded.
Just when she was going down the stairs, soft knocks could be heard on the front door so she went to open it.
And there it was, a nervous brunette but smiled at the sight of the redhead opening the door, "Hey… D-did you sleep well?" Beca said as cool as she could, she genuinely thought that one of Chloe's aunts would open the door.
"Like a baby…" the redhead smiled back and motioned the brunette to enter the house.
"Um… I… picked this up for you on my way here…" and she gave the redhead a tiny white flower "My mom has this big garden and it has these types of flowers… and it made me think about you…" she said blushing and with her heart on her throat.
And of course Chloe was matching her hair color by now, she shyly smiled and hugged the brunette tightly "Thank you…" and pecked her briefly on her cheek.
Then a voice caught their attention from the other room "Beca! You're here!" Sophie said excitedly entering the room and clapping while side hugging her and Chloe "I hope you're hungry because I made a big breakfast!" She said excitedly and Beca smiled awkwardly while all of them walk to the dining room.
Indeed it was a big breakfast and they chat through all of it with Beca joking around just to see the redhead smile and giggle. After that, both girls parted to school on Beca's car leaving the older women in the front door waving at them.
"She seems kind with Chloe…" Claire said eying the car as they turned left for school.
"And charming, and protective, and funny, and the only thing she wants is to be there for her" she said counting with her fingers while eying her wife with an 'I told you so' expression "Oh! And makes our niece smile big time…" she added pointing with a finger at the redhead.
"That's true…" she said doing a mock of defense with her hands "I just…-" she sighed heavily.
"I know… I'm afraid too… She's been through a lot and I just hope that this is a good thing finally…" she grabbed her by her arms and smile at her, then hugged her "Did you searched about him? Is he still in prison?" She asked worried and the redhead nodded.
"Did you?..." and the brunette nodded smiling at her "Good… Let's get ready shall we?..." and they both got inside the house.
On their way to school they were listening some random mixes from the brunette's iPod, both humming through the beats.
"Oh my God!" The redhead gasped and looked at the brunette guilty "I forgot to give you your jacket..." she said shyly but the brunette chuckled.
"Don't worry… I'll give you a ride back if that's ok and then you could give me my jacket … By the way… we need to get started with that AP Bio essay" she said while arriving the school.
"Ok then…" and she beamed to her. They parked the car and Beca hurriedly got herself outta the car and to the passenger door to open it for the redhead, she smiled "You didn't have to do that you know?... I have hands…" she rolled her eyes and took her hands into eyesight for the brunette waving them.
"Oh… believe me… I know… But you backpack doesn't… poor backpack… Come to mama…" she fake her voice at the end of the sentence and helped the redhead got out of 'the bad boy' and took her back pack.
"You can't be more charming, can't you?..." she mumbled really low but for her surprise the brunette heard a bit making her ego go high sky as they walked through the halls
They fell into comfortable silence until they reached the redhead's locker "Hey um… I was thinking… Later today I have practice to go back into the football team and I'd like very much to maybe… if you want… 'cause if you don't want is totally cool… I get it… I-" she was rambling and for the redhead was totally cute see the brunette struggling with words, she was giggling.
"I'd like to see how your training goes…" she smiled putting a hand on Beca's shoulder to make her stop with her ramble.
"Cool…" she smiled and imaginary high five herself.
The rest of the day went really good for the both of them, mostly because the girls knew that at the end of it they'll see each other again and that they'll pass the rest of the afternoon with the other.
So both were happy by the time tryouts for football started, the redhead sat on the bleachers beside Aubrey and Stacie, both Aubrey and Chloe were cheering to Beca when she got out of the locker rooms into the field and she just smiled.
The football team in this school was mixed, boys and girls were allowed to play and they both trained as equally, Beca used to be the captain of the team last year until she decided to quit because a player broke her ankle very badly, she had to stay prefently on her bed, and in a whole month Aubrey got to every last game of the season to maintain informed the brunette that was being stubborn and wanted to go anyway.
So she was received with loud cheers by the team as she arrived where the fresh meat wanted to enter, and to her surprise a not pleasant face was there. Jared. Yes. The asshole that she punched really good on the first day of classes, he wanted to tryout this year apparently.
"Mitchell! Come over here!" Couch Sanders, a tall blond haired man with brown eyes said and the brunette jogged where he was "Good to have you back…" the brunette nodded "Listen… I know you had some problem some weeks ago with one of the fresh meat over there…" he pointed to the boy in question and both looked over where he was, laughing about something apparently "The thing is that… Bumper replaced you as captain for now, and that means that you won't have a say for now about who gets in or not, just Bumper and I ok?" the brunette scoffed.
"I'm sorry Beca… But I can tell you that Jessie will be in the same group as you and him leading the warms up and he'll be mean… but you know what's with all that so is a piece of cake for you…" he said placing a hand over the brunette's shoulder who smirked a bit "I need your head in the game… We really needed you the last part of the season and we need you now too…"
"Ok coach… I will…" and with that she was dismissed and went to the team group formed by Jessie and she obviously got on the other side of the line to avoid that asshole.
"Ok boys and girls! This is warm up!" Jessie yelled and it all started smoothly before went super wild.
Meanwhile in the bleachers the girls were watching the training intently, well Stacie not so much because she was doing her nails to perfection and laughing at her excited girlfriend shouting her best friend's name with Chloe and going even crazier when Beca turned to them and wave at them.
After a good amount of warming up and half of the fresh meat almost fainting on the grass, the couch made up two teams, in both there were some of the official members and some newbies, the bad thing here is that Beca and the asshole were in opposite teams, and Jared Clark only got in the tryouts just to hurt the brunette, he was really pissed and in her mind was only one thing: Revenge.
The game started really smooth, Beca was wide receiver, and her team was the one starting, she was really focused in what the captain of her team, Bumper, told her, he sometimes was an asshole too but was really serious about football so, only playing was when he was cool.
The game started and she sprinted as fast as she could, Donald, the best quarterback of her team threw the ball to her and when she caught it she was tackled brutally, and this boy literally sent her flying out of the field, the good thing is that she held the ball tightly against her until she fell to the not so soft grass.
The fuck was that?! She said internally, breathing hard. On the bleachers the girls went silent with wide eyes, they eyed each other and went down to the field to see if Beca was ok, they sat on the front row when they saw that the brunette stood up with Jessie's help and just cleaned herself.
"Show him who's the boss Becs!" her blonde friend shouted and the brunette turned to looked at them and rose her thumbs up, the other girls chuckled at the aggressiveness from the blonde who sat down with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Who tackle her?..." the brunette at her side asked seeing if her nails were done.
"That douche Jared… Remember the first day that she fought with a dude?..." and both girls nodded "Well…" and she bit her lip, she hasn't told anyone about what Jared had said before Beca hit him "Well… He said things about me…" she looked at her lap and intertwined her fingers above them, Stacie took one of her hands and squeezed it to reassure her that everything was ok "Beca told me that she heard him said to her friend that he wanted to get into my pants… weather I want it or not…Like she did with the others..." she said in a really low tone and the brunette at her side tensed up while the redhead got in shock a bit "She… Acted in the wrong way… and… both got suspended because of it… the school promised her that they'll find proof of what he did while they were away… And we haven't know about anything yet… I'm just being careful…" she said sadly and both girls went to hug her tightly.
"I would totally react the same like Beca in her case… Maybe not that aggressive… But yeah… I wouldn't let anybody touches you if you don't wanted to… Not even me…" Stacie said honestly and made the blonde's heart ached in a good way, she beamed at the brunette and pecked her lightly.
The redhead coughed loudly at it and looked nervously at the field "So… You two are a thing now?..." she asked a bit uncomfortable while looking at her hands.
"Yup!" the brunette said popping the 'p' and hugging the blonde who smiled really big.
"That's nice…" she smiled awkwardly at them.
"Well… You'll get the football player…" the brunette said rolling her eyes and Chloe matched her hair color.
"You like Beca?!" the blonde whisper yelled at the redhead that got a little shaky and nervous, but with a glance to the field she locked eyes with the tiny girl and made her smile, thing that both of the other girls noticed "Ok… Just so you know… I'm ok with it if you do… But I'm the best friend so… Just don't hurt her ok?..." The words seemed to get caught on her tongue because she couldn't make any sound but she nodded.
This was kind of new to her because, yeah, she had dumb and blind feelings for Tom some years ago and the result was hell to her, literally, it left her with some experience of not trusting so quick and fast in people, but even though that, it was different with Beca, she has never felt so safe in someone else's arms that wasn't family related.
Stacie stood up for a brief moment, told the girls that she would solve it and got close to Bumper that wasn't playing on the field, but watching the team he was on charge "Hey Bumper… Can I talk to you for a second?..." He nodded without taking his eyes from the field, his team was advancing little by little but he could see that Beca was kind of being chased by this dude "I think that Jared Clark wants to hurt Beca due to the first day scenario so she can't play at all this season…" this caught Bumper's attention, but he scoffed even though that his eyes were glued now to the tiny brunette running, that was doing a very good job so far but she was being tackled several times by now.
"Think about it… She hit him, he lose, he got suspended because of her, he hasn't come on his car all these days, it's pretty obvious that he wants a revenge…" the brunette tried to negotiate with him and as if on cue, when he was going to answer, he saw how Jared tackled Beca really hard again, he took her by her helmet and pulled her hard to the grass and she didn't even had the ball so he went hurriedly to see what was going on with the brunette, and he was followed by the other girls.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK WAS THAT CLARK?!" Bumper said angry "She didn't even had the ball! It wasn't even near of it! GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE FIELD!" in the games, there were really little things that upset Bumper this much, this one was one of them "You won't get in the fucking team… get out!" he finally said with the approval of the coach.
"Whatever…" he scoffed "You all are stupids!" he threw all of the equipment he has on in the grass and everyone turned to see Beca trying to breath, by this time the girls have reached the other players and were making their way to see if Beca was ok.
"Are you ok Mitchell?..." the coach asked while helping her get her helmet off.
"Yeah… Just need to breath… That took me… By surprise… he hit me hard in the stomach before tackle me…" she groaned taking her hands to her stomach, Chloe kneeled down beside her head and starting to stroke her hair lovingly.
"I'm sorry that took me long to take you out of the field…"The coach started to say and the brunette stared at him worrying "Don't worry kid… I just wanted to know if you still have the spark inside after what happened last year… And you do… So you're in but now… Go home and rest… those tackles were really nasty…" the coach said again and made the rest of the team that were around go away to help her.
"C'mon badass… Let me help you…" Jessie said with a grin and extending a hand to the brunette who took it and with the help of the redhead she stood up "Careful… Easy there…" he said eying the redhead and smiling at her, but a pang of jealousy spreaded through the tiny girl.
"Now go away dude… See ya…" she said dryly putting a hand on the redhead's waist possessively but smirking and winking at him.
"'Kay, got the message, see you tomorrow…" he made a militar mock to her and ran where the other teammates were.
"Let's go to the showers Becs, you'll need one after all this before your brow and lip get infected" her blonde friend helped her walk as well as the redhead.
"That was a big show I bet…" she chuckled bitterly, the punch in her stomach still hurt "I taught that fist who's boss…" this made the other girls laugh and erase the frown from the redhead's forehead that she has seen since she saw her in the field and gave herself an imaginary high five.
Getting into the shower was a bit awkward, Aubrey helped Beca took off some of the garments from the waist up and her shoes, leaving her in a sports bra and her football pants.
The brunette wasn't shy when it comes to show herself a bit naked, but well, no one in school knew she had a penis, thank god that the shower stalls were divided and with curtains because that would have been a bit embarrassing.
But for the redhead, seeing her potential crush in sports bra and noticing all of her muscles showing up, she felt her blood boil a bit and couldn't stop staring at her back and ass as she disappeared into the stalls.
The other girls waited in the lockers, just outside the brunette's and they were talking about what had happened, that Jared boy was probably going to be a trouble for Beca.
"Aubrey… Can you bring my clothes over here?... I'm too lazy to go over there and then change" she asked pleadingly, and the blonde knew why, so she chuckled and took the clean clothes from the brunette's sports bag and went with her.
"You clearly zoned out with a shirtless Beca…" Stacie said eying her mischievously and she turned a bit red biting her lips and smiling shyly.
No longer after that a fully clothed Beca came out with a bit of damped hair to packing up the rest of her belongings and they were going out of the lockers room, Beca in front of everyone, the thing is that nor in a million times she could have guessed that she was going to be greeted with a heavy metal colliding on her face and then with the cold floor.
Jared was waiting outside of the locker rooms with a crowbar on his hands, the one that hit Beca in the face yes, and the one that was going to keep using if it wasn't because the redhead carries with her pepper spray that gave good use of it and thank God that the entire team, including the coach, were entering the building to see the scene, and hurriedly tackle him and put him down.
It would have started a feast of punches for him by the other teammates if it wouldn't be for the coach "Swanson, call an ambulance… Everyone else dismiss! I'll take care of this fucker…" and oh boy, this boy was on deep trouble, the coach never curses, not even when you do something bad on the field.
While Jessie was calling an ambulance pacing around, Aubrey was calling Beca's mom, Heather, to informed the situation and calming her and Stacie and Chloe were beside Beca.
Beca was breathing heavy and Chloe was by her side on her first chance, she had her head on her lap, she felt like crying but she didn't wanted to, she had a huge lump on her throat but with every other guy or girl around trying to make sense of what happened and at the time give her space, it's not the time for cry Chloe… Be strong for her… she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Beca… Can you hear me?..." she said with shaky voice caressing the good side of her face gently, and received a groan "Can you open your eyes for me?... Please…" her voice was weak and full of concern but the brunette managed to do that, then their eyes met and both smiled at each other.
"I think… That… I showed who's boss again?..." she asked weakly making the redhead laugh a bit "Imma be fine…" she reassured closing her eyes again "My head hurts…" she groaned again.
"That's because you showed all of your strength to that crowbar…" the redhead said shaky once again making the brunette chuckled and cracked a small smile.
Chloe talked to the brunette so she didn't fall asleep or faint until the paramedics arrived, once they checked her they determined to take her to the hospital to run some scans on her head to see the damaged beside the possible broken cheek bone, the redhead was on her side all the time and went with her to the hospital while Aubrey and Stacie left the brunette's car on her house and then to the hospital with Beca's mom.
"Aubrey! Why aren't you with my baby?..." Heather said really worry while hugging the blonde.
"Don't worry Heather… She's fine… She's with Chloe…" the blonde said but that didn't seem to calm the woman.
"She's the redhead that…" she started and the blonde nodded and smiled, that made the other brunette eyed her girlfriend suspiciously "Good… Now let's go because we know she doesn't like so much hospitals…" both nodded and parted their ways.
Back in the ambulance, the brunette sat beside the redhead while she was holding her hand, and they were stealing glances and smiling a bit, the brunette's face was getting swollen where she was hit.
"Can… Can I borrow your phone?..." the brunette said and the redhead looked at her weirdly "I don't have mine and… I kind of promised your aunts to call them if I wasn't taking you right away to your house…" she said seeing their hands joined and the redhead's heart melted right away and smiled but she was the one calling her aunt.
A soft voice answered the phone on the third ring "Hi baby girl… Is everything ok?..." Beca smiled at the redhead and she managed to answer.
"Yeah… Well almost everything…" she said watching her fingers intertwined with the brunette's "Beca had an accident… Seems to be no biggie but… I didn't want her to go alone to the hospital… So I'm here with her… We're arriving actually…" she sighed and stole some glances with the brunette.
"Ok then… Do tell please?... What happened?..." the brunette said in the other end of the line.
"Well.. there's this boy in school that really doesn't like her… I guess?..." she said eying Beca who chuckled and shook her head "Maybe she'll explain better?" And she nodded letting Sophie know that she'll be on the phone.
"Hi Mrs. Beale?..." she eyed the redhead for confirmation and she nodded "Um… You'll see… This boy and I fought on the first day of school for something that he said about my best friend Aubrey… Literally… it was about of forcing her to… you know…" she said awkwardly.
"I understand… But you fought with him? As if… punching him?..."
"Um… Yes… He said really mean stuff and I got angry… Because as I heard… it wasn't the first time that he had done that…" she could hear a tiny gasp on the other line, she told the rest of the story to the aunt that was really intrigued but the paramedics told her that she needed to go into the hospital so she gave back the phone to the redhead and a sloppy kiss to her hand.
The redhead went to the waiting room because apparently the hit wasn't a big deal even though the brunette's face was getting even more swollen and her headache was getting worse but still,she couldn't be by her side.
After some moments Aubrey, Heather and Stacie entered the hospital and the blonde spotted the redhead worriedly, they got close to her and starting to ask questions.
The redhead answered all of them and Heather went to the nursery station to see if she could make things get quicker for her kid.
"She's…" the redhead said in a tone of question to the blonde and she nodded "She looks almost like her…" and the other brunette there nodded.
"Yeah… they do… The things that you can use to make a difference between them are that Heather has freckles in almost all her face, green eyes and a lighter shade of brown hair…" Aubrey said smiling.
"That and our attitude…" Heather said sitting in front of the girls, she sighed heavily "She's getting the scans… So it's just waiting…" she said smiling and eying the blonde.
"Oh! Heather… This is Stacie… My girlfriend…" she motioned with her hand to her left and the brunette stretched to give her a hand but Heather stood up and engulfed in a tight embrace.
"Nice to meet you Stacie…" she said with a big smile and then she got a serious look on her "Listen… This blonde over here is pure gold… Literally… So you better take care of her properly ok?" And the brunette nodded awkwardly "Then you must be Chloe!" She said clapping excitedly at the redhead who looked at her amazed and too was pulled into a tight hug "My daughter has talked about you…" she winked at her and again, the redhead blushed and giggled a bit.
"We could embarrass her now you know?" Aubrey said mischievously at the older woman who laughed but shook her head.
"Oh dear… It would be funnier if she's in the same room as us!" She clapped and hugged the blonde for a moment and went to sit down again "Now.. Tell me how it all happened…" she said a bit serious.
So all of them told her the story detail by detail and Heather's face changed as the story went, the redhead was amazed, she didn't imagine Beca's mom to be this cheering at the beginning and so kind of scary almost at the end of the story, but well, Aubrey was totally right, Beca and her mom aren't much alike, but then, her phone chimed and took her out of her train of thoughts.
Aunt S: Hey Chlo-Bear, just checking on you and Beca… How's she doin'? and as if on cue, Beca was brought out in a wheelchair to the girls with just a bag of ice on her face and a small smile.
"Miss Swift! I would say that is a good thing to see you but I see it's not…" the doctor said as they approached eying the brunette that he was pushing.
Heather stood up and greeted the doctor "Doctor Connors! I say the same, but my girl happens to get in trouble often so…" she rolled her eyes, they laugh a bit and Beca was trying not to see the redhead that was giggling.
"Well, you must know that your daughter is fine, it wasn't a big deal and I think that she somehow became some sort of Wolverine because no broken bone or brain damage…" All of them chuckled "Alright… She's free to go, the only thing she needs is painkillers and get good amount of sleep for a couple of days and it's done…" he reassured to the older woman and took her to reception to sign some papers.
The redhead got closer to the brunette and sat beside her "So… You're ok? For real?" She asked worried.
The brunette cracked a small smile "I'll just have some new hot scars on my face so… is ok…" she winked at the redhead who giggled "I was thinking… That because this isn't a big deal… we could hang out if you want… Or do that essay… Whad'ya say?..." she ask hopefully so she could still see the redhead on the rest of the day.
"Sounds perfect…" she said with small voice but a big grin.
Chlo-Bear: She's fine actually it was practically nothing (: see you soon the redhead sent a message to her aunt as they went out of the hospital.
In their way back home Beca convinced her mom that she was ok to keep going for the rest of the afternoon and do homework at the redhead's house, so she dropped them there and head home, but not before telling the redhead that she could be really stubborn when she's hurt so she should ask her frequently how's she doing.
The evening went smooth for both girls, they got almost all of the ideas for the essay done and Beca helped Chloe with other homeworks she didn't get. The next couple of days went almost the same, school, practice, study stuff in the redhead's house.
"Ok… You look like you're going to fall asleep anytime soon… Are you ok?..." the redhead asked to a tired brunette as she typed some parts of, the now finished, essay from AP Bio.
"Yeah… I just haven't sleep really well…" she sighed rubbing her hands through her head.
"Lay down in my bed and I'll wake you up when dinner's ready…" the redhead suggested and the brunette shook her head "C'mon… You've done practically the whole assignment, I could type it all and then wake you up…" she eyed the brunette that now was thinking as a possibility but remained sat beside her so Chloe stood up and grabbed the brunette's hands never leaving her eyes and with a small smile, she dragged her to her bed "Stay there…" the redhead pointed at the brunette who smiled.
"Aye, aye captain…" and rested her head on one of the pillows while watching the redhead taking the seat on her desk again and began typing, she just smiled at the sight of the other girl's brow furrowed in concentration while her nostrils filled up with the scent of the redhead's shampoo that lured her to sleep.
Some moments later, the redhead typed the whole essay and found herself with nothing to do but really tired, her aunt called her some minutes earlier to tell her that she'd arrive just at dinner time with a big pizza for all of them so she had nothing to do.
She eyed her bed to a sleeping brunette there and smiled, her face was practically buried on the pillows, she chuckled and walk the remained distance to her big bed to lay down a bit, she was next to the brunette, to a decent distance, even though she felt how her body was aching to be closer to Beca.
I really wish that you'd be different… She was thinking while watching the brunette sleep soundly, I'm really tired to be afraid, to be hurt by other people… She sighed, And so far you only have prove me that you're not like them… She looked at her hands, Please… Don't hurt me… She closed her eyes to avoid any tears to fall and buried her face on her pillow to drift asleep.
An hour or so later, the brunette woke up due to some weird whimpers she heard, she opened her eyes and saw that the redhead was now in the same bed as her and seemed that she was having a bad dream, and this got her attention, she got close to her and stroke her hair lovingly.
"Chloe…" she said softly while removing her hair from her face and caressing her cheek "Wake up Chloe…" but it seemed that it didn't work, so she gently shook her shoulder "Chloe… Wake up beautiful…" she said again softly but the whimpers got a bit louder "Chloe" she said firm but not even loud and the redhead snapped her eyes open and push her with all her strength making the brunette fell from bed "Ouch…"
"Oh my God Beca! I'm sorry…" she gasped and said in a whisper, she got close to the edge of the bed to see a smiling brunette standing up "I'm sorry…" she said shyly but the brunette just shook her head.
"No problem… Is good to see that you have good amount of strength to sent me flying off your bed…" she chuckled making the redhead giggle, she sat in bed next to the redhead that was looking at her hands and brow furrowed, so she leaned on the headboard and opened her arms "C'mere…" she said with a warm smile and Chloe went to lay on the brunette's arms.
They stood still for a moment, just enjoying the hug "You wanna talk about it?..." the brunette asked tentatively but the redhead shook her head getting a strong hold on the brunette "Ok… what about me telling something about me?... so you feel talking about stuff?... I mean… We still don't know about each other that well but I want to know about you… for real…" she sighed hoping that this would make the redhead open up a little.
"Why?..." she asked weakly lifting her head to look at the brunette, they were really close from each other.
The brunette just looked at her and took the lock of hair that fell and put it behind her ear "Because first…" She made a slight pause "I think you're amazing and it's worth the try to knowing you…" she was looking at the frightened eyes in front of her "And second… You'll know about me… and I'm amazing!" she said jokingly and a full belly laugh crept from the redhead's stomach.
After the laugh disappeared the redhead locked her eyes with the brunette once again "But you don't know my past… And…" she looked at her hand that was playing with the brunette's shirt, Beca lifted her head so she looked at her.
"I won't go away… Not unless you want to…" she reassured her with a sincere voice.
"Even if… I'm too damaged?..." she asked with soft and weak voice, her eyes never leaving the brunette's.
"Even that… And beyond… I'll stay…" she smiled and the redhead couldn't believe her, well she could, she felt safe around her anyway, but, she couldn't believe it was real "What about if… You and I… after the first game next Friday… we go out?... Of course, if you'd like to?..."
"I like being around you…" she said shyly but smiling, then look back at her "I'd love to…" and both smiled.
