A:N: I totally fucked up the interview thingy. Apparently the late show with David Letterman is filmed at 4:30pm on weekdays and then aired at 11:35pm. So let's just say that the show was recorded and aired live at 11:35pm (NY time) and 8:35pm (L.A time), okay? Good!

Enjoy!

As soon as the DJ left the stage at around at 12am, she greeted Kim and then pulled out her phone and dialed Chloe's number. Seen as it was 12am in New York, it would be around 9pm in L.A. The redhead picked up almost straight away and didn't even bother to say hi before she was praising the brunette.

"Beca you was so amazing! You even made Aubrey cry a little!"

The DJ laughed when she heard Aubrey shout something about her allergies causing her eyes to water.

"So you liked it?" Beca asked proudly as she walked down the hall with Kim back to her driver.

"I loved it! I love- I love your voice so much!"

Beca sighed. She thought Chloe was going to say something else then. She pushed that thought to the back of her mind and responded with a heartfelt "thanks babe"

"Also, congratu-fucking-lations on the nomination! How cool is that?!" she redhead giggled excitedly.

"I know, it's so crazy!" the brunette agreed which earned another laugh through the phone. "Have you heard from the casting director yet?"

"Nope, they're going to call me in the morning so I better go get some sleep just to be ready"

"Yeah, okay, call me when you find out" Beca smiled. "Oh and, Chloe?"

"Yeah?"

She debated on telling her that she wrote the song for her but then brushed it off, thinking that if she was to tell the redhead how she truly felt (that she loved her) then she wanted to do it face-to-face.

"I miss you" was all that she said and she could practically feel Chloe swoon through the speaker.

"I miss you too" the redhead replied shyly.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow" she smiled as she got into the car with her manager.

"Sure, see ya Becs"

The DJ smiled as the driver set off, unaware that Kim was giving her a questioning look.

"So you two are cool with each other now?" the brunette asked the DJ, pulling her out of her haze. Beca smiled as she looked to the woman who was sat beside her in the back of the car.

"Yeah, we're cool" was the last thing that Beca said before she fell into a daydream about the object of her affections. Her and Kim finally arrived at the hotel and Beca went straight to her hotel room, bidding farewell to her manager beforehand.

As soon as the brunette arrived in her room, she took off her dress and heels and put on a long t-shirt that she likes to lounge around in. She then laid in bed for about 20 minutes before she fell asleep.

Beca was walking down the dark streets of Atlanta when she saw her parents black Honda Cr-V driving down the one-way street. She had an uneasy feeling in her stomach. Like something was going to happen. Like something would go wrong.

She started to walk faster towards the car that had stopped at the red light. She started to run and shout to her parents but no sound was coming out of her mouth. She panicked. She was trying to walk faster and faster but she was suddenly stopped a few yards away by some sort of invisible wall. She tried walking forwards again but there seemed to be a metaphorical barrier in the way. She was yelling her mom and dad's names but her voice was muted. The light turned green and she watched as her father pulled the hand brake and set off into the road.

She looked to her left and saw a huge truck driving towards them. "MOM! DAD!" she yelled as loudly as she could, but it was no use. She tried to run towards them again but the truck collided with the other vehicle and she watched as her parents car got squashed between the truck and the wall. She screamed their names as tears streamed down her face. She pushed with all her might to try to get past the barrier but it was no use. It was too late. She started to hear her name being called in the distance but she couldn't pry her eyes away from the collision in front of her.

"Beca!"

She couldn't respond. She was panicking and thrashing about, trying to run to save her parents, even though it was too late. She needed to save them. She was so close. "Mom! Daddy!"

"Beca, come on! Becs wake up!" She felt someone shaking her, the voice was less distant now but she could still hear the sound of police sirens and ambulances. "Beca, sweetie, come on! It's alright!"

She shot up from her spot on the hotel room's bed. She looked around with scared eyes, trying to figure out where she was. She wasn't in the cold street anymore. Her eyes met dark green ones and she sighed in relief when she saw Kim sat in front of her with her hands on her shoulders. It was just a dream. The older woman immediately pulled her into a tight embrace while she started to stroke her hair. "It's okay, Becs, I'm here. You're fine"

The brunette broke down into sobs. She felt like she couldn't breathe. She's been having the same nightmare for 7 years now. Whenever she can actually sleep, that is. (The only time she hadn't had the dream was when she slept with Chloe. She surprisingly slept a whole 7 hours that night with the redhead's body wrapped up in hers.)

Kim, Jesse and Kristen, Beca's ex, are the only one's who have witnessed the nightmare's. Jesse's first reaction when it happened (when they were 18, just after her parents died) was to call an ambulance because he thought Beca was having an epileptic seizure. Kristen and Kim were probably the only ones who knew how to calm her down after one. They'd hug her tightly and let her cry on their shoulder, while whispering sweet nothing's into her ear. The rest of the people who have ever slept over were mostly drunken one-night stands, and Beca would only ever cuddle with them until they fell asleep. After that she'd preoccupy herself by making mixes or writing songs. After sunrise, she'd slip back into bed with them, probably to give them the illusion that she actually slept.

She doesn't know why Chloe's different. That's what frustrates her so much. The redhead wasn't like any of her one night stands she's had in the past. Chloe is gentle and loving and yes, she was absolutely fantastic in bed. Beca was obviously aware of her growing feelings for the redhead. She just hopes that Chloe will finally giver her a chance and let her in. She remembers Chloe telling her that she's not good with relationships and that she's been through a lot in the past. She hasn't asked yet, but she figures that whatever it is, Beca won't ever leave her. She wants Chloe to know that, too.

The brunette finally calmed down after crying into Kim's neck for God knows how long. The DJ looked at the clock which read 3:37am. She decided that the whole 3 hours she had slept would be enough to call it a night. She stood up without a word to Kim, seemingly embarrassed that the woman had witnessed yet another one of her outbursts. She walked over to where she had set up her DJ equipment and sat down on the chair, hoping to make a few mixes before sunrise. She felt a presence at the side of her but chose to ignore it.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Kim asked in a soft comforting voice, placing a hand on the brunette's petite shoulder.

"No"

"Becs, we-"

"-I said no, Kim. Can you leave, please?" the brunette regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth. The manager didn't say anything as she nodded and stood up with a hurt expression on her face. She walked towards the door and stopped in the doorway. She looked sympathetically at Beca for a second who was wiping more tears out of her eyes and sighed. Poor little soul, she thought to herself as she quietly closed the door and left the DJ alone.

As soon as Kim shut the door, Beca rested her elbows on the table and put her head in her hands. Her body shook with sobs as she thought back to her nightmare. She cried as quietly as she could, trying not to wake up her team who were sleeping in the next room down. She tried to wipe the tears but it was no good as even more came streaming down her face.

After about 2 hours of just crying, she decided to leave the mixes alone. She wasn't exactly in the mood for music right now, which was strange for Beca. Music is her life and it normally sorts out all of her problems. Instead she just plugged her headphones into her iPod and laid in bed, listening to music until it was a decent enough time to be up and ready to start the day. What a great way to start my birthday.

"Mom?" Chloe asked confusedly into her phone which had just rang, interrupting her '2 broke girls' marathon with Stacie. "Hey"

"Hi, sweetie! How are you doing?"

"I'm doing great, how are you?" she beamed, her face lighting up at the sound of her mother's peppy voice.

"I'm good, what have you been up to lately?" she asked, and if Chloe was right, she sounded sort of suspicious.

"Um, not much really. A friend of mine got me an audition for a movie and I'm just waiting for them to get back to me to see if I've got the part"

"That's great, sweetie. So you haven't been hanging around with famous DJ's then?" she asked in a joking manner and Chloe immediately knew this was exactly why her mother had called her. She had watched the interview.

"Oh, you saw the picture on Letterman then?" she laughed nervously.

"Yes, it was pretty weird seeing you on TV, I must say. So are you like, famous now?"

"No mom, I'm not famous" the redhead giggled. "Beca's my friend, she's the one who got me the audition."

"She sounds nice, although it doesn't really look like she's your friend, and she didn't say no when David asked her if she wrote the song for you-"

"-Come on mom" she sighed as she sat down on the sofa.

"So do you like her?"

Chloe sighed. Her mother would get information out of her no matter what. "Yeah, she's.. She's different"

"A good kind of different?"

"An amazing kind of different. She's so kind and down-to-earth, and she likes me too, mom"

"Honey, that's great!" she sounded excited that her daughter had found someone. "Are you in New York with her?"

"No, I had to stay here in L.A so the casting director can call me in if I get the role."

"Okay, well I'd love to meet her some time"

"We're not that serious yet, mom" the redhead laughed nervously.

"Well, when you're ready, I have to get back to the office now. I'll call you when I can, okay?"

"Okay, bye mom"

"Bye sweetie"

The redhead sighed happily, glad that her mother was okay with her being more than friends with a famous music producer. Maybe she would even be happy for her if they started dating.

She looked at her phone and saw it was 10:30am. The director hadn't got back to her yet and she got a text the other day saying that they'd get in touch this morning. She shrugged it off, they probably had loads of girls to turn down, she was just hoping she wasn't one of them.

Beca and Demi were both sat in the recording booth, currently talking about their song for Beca's new album. Beca had decided to get up and ready at 6am as she was scheduled to meet Demi at Atlantic Studios at 8am. Kim came to pick her up at 7:45 and she drove her to the studio not far from their hotel. They greeted each other kindly before getting breakfast and then they cracked on with all the details of the song.

Beca let out another annoyed breath of air. Ever since her nightmare at the early hours of the morning, she hadn't managed to concentrate on anything other than Chloe for some reason. Maybe it was the fact that she was wondering if Chloe would stay if she ever witnessed one of the brunette's nightmare's. Would Chloe do what Kristen used to do and comfort her? Or would she leave, just like she had left her when she sang to her?

Demi was starting to feel self-conscious, thinking Beca was annoyed at her, or maybe at the fact that she didn't want to work with her. The blonde took a deep breath and waved a hand in front of Beca's face. The singer had a big smile on her face which automatically made Beca smile softly. Here she was, with one of the world's most inspiring and beautiful singers and all she can think about is what Chloe would say about her nightmare's. She was feeling pretty pathetic if she's completely honest.

"You okay there, birthday girl?" Demi asked in a chipper voice. Beca just nodded in response but the look on the blonde's face showed her she didn't believe her. "I know this has nothing to do with the song, so do you want to talk about it?"

Maybe it was the sincerity and kindness in the singer's voice, but Beca found herself nodding silently as she rested her elbow on the table and put her head in her hand, while the other hand used her pencil to draw patterns on her notebook.

"Let's say, you're sleeping in the same bed with someone and- and you have a really bad nightmare. You've had the same nightmare before and you know that it takes a lot to wake you up from this particular nightmare. Do you think that person should stay and comfort you or freak out and leave"

The blonde gave her a questioning look but didn't press on. "I think that they should comfort you, and whoever it is, if they didn't do that and just left you, I'd say they're not worth it"

The DJ sighed, obviously they wouldn't be worth it. But Chloe is worth it, even if she would say, 'freak out' when Beca had a nightmare. "I feel so stupid, I just.." she paused, am I sharing too much?

"You just what?" she smiled reassuringly.

"I.. There's this girl, Chloe, and I really like her. Hopefully she likes me too, I mean, she said she did. But I just.. I'm worried because whenever I seem to sleep, I always have this particular nightmare and I'm scared that if she ever witnessed that, then she'd run away or something" she sighed as she started to draw random stars in the corner of her page.

"Is she the type that would run away from something like that?" Demi asked, eyeing the brunette and trying to read her facial expression.

"I don't know, that's the thing.. I mean, she's ran away from me before, a few times actually. People have been telling me I'm too good for her but I just- I love her, and I can't even begin to imagine what my life would be like without her in it."

"I think you have your answer then, if you can prove to her that you love her, then hopefully she'll reciprocate that and if she loves you like you love her, then she won't leave"

"I just hope she'll trust me enough to let me in" the brunette huffed, setting her pencil down on the table and getting up. "Coffee break?"

"Sure" Demi smiled.

The two walked out of the studio, Beca silently planning a way to tell Chloe the truth. Even if they were over 2000 miles apart, she would find a way to tell Chloe that she loved her, damn it. Now though, Beca just had to enjoy the rest of her birthday without her favourite redhead.
