Part 14 family day part 2
Bravo Company 1/61
The drill sargeants dismissed their soldiers to their respected families. Beca saw her family and girlfriend waiting for her. Before anything Aubrey needed to have a one on one talk with her sister first.
"Beca can I talk to you for a minute?" Beca nods her head and they go off a little ways from everyone. "I don't want anybody hear me say this but I am proud of you for what you have done. I know I don't say this actually I don't think I ever have but I love you. Your the sister I didn't expect to have and I must admit your not the same Beca that came into our lives all those years ago. You made the Bella's better, Chloe was right I'm glad we changed the set list...and you ever tell anybody about this I will pretend this conversation never happened got it?"
"Yes Drill Sargeant Posen." Beca says sarcastically getting a glare from Aubrey. "I got it and it means alot so no worries I won't tell anyone you were remotely nice."
"I'm dixie chicks serious Beca." Aubrey says playfully. "And its good to see they haven't changed you completely." She says refering to Beca's sarcasm.
I watched them its hard to believe those two actually get along. I watch everyone interacting with their families its pretty amazing. Beca is amazing. I love this woman like I want to have lots of kids, a house maybe a dog or two. I look over at the Posens and my mother and Jesse...we all are here to support her for what she has accomplished. The Beca that first came to us wouldn't have liked this attention but seeing her now she is alot more free and open not so closed off not that I could blame her for why she was closed off but still its good to see her smile. Chloe thinks to herself smiling but gets pulled out by her mother.
"You know sweetie maybe you guys should have the day to yourselves. Keith, Charlotte and I know that you two should have quality time together without us intruding."
Beca overhears this taking Chloe's hand in hers. "Mrs. Beale its no intrusion at all its good to have you all here, really today is family day after all." looks over at Aubrey with a wink. "Besides I miss you all so come on lets get this show on the road."
They are make their way to the vehicles. Beca would be riding alone with Chloe as everyone else rides in with the Posens.
"You know Pvt Mitchell your allowed to talk."
"I'm enjoying the peace and please don't call me that." not that I minded she called me that but it would be prefered in a different way. keep it together Mitchell.
"I brought your dj stuff." Chloe says nonchalently. "I'm surprised that wasn't the first thing you asked about."
"I had other things on my mind...you!"
"Aww you must really love me." She says trying to concentrate on the road.
Beca turns to look over at Chloe. "I really do, you look beautiful by the way."
Chloe briefly turns to give Beca a quick smile. "I love you too, so your really okay with everybody being here?" She asks refering to her mom and the Posens.
"Yes I really am." Beca answers taking Chloe's free hand in hers, not one to initate contact first but somehow she just need to feel some kind of contact from the redhead. "I missed you alot you know." She says in a low whisper.
Chloe pulls up to a stoplight glances down at their hands smiling. "I missed you too."
I was never one for conversation before I would take silence as being creepy but this is just comfortable. I'm not sure if she realizes I am watching her, I can't help it ,I missed her alot. Its not that I could forget how beautiful she is, those eyes, her hair but just seeing her is just it makes my heart whole. I feel a familarity being this close to her, I feel I could do anything with her by my side. Oh god when did I become so cliche?! Is this what Jesse has been talking about all this time? Chloe is my movie ending oh no I will never admit that to him, I will never live that down.
They finally arrive at the resturant that Mrs. Beale picked out as they drove into South Carolina. Chloe turns the car off facing Beca.
"My mom picked the place out hope its okay?"
"I love chilis its a good choice." She says noticing that Chloe seem a little off. "Hey are you okay? Your not the usual bubbly self."
Chloe just plays it off. "I'm okay its just lets go eat don't want to keep everyone waiting."
I was going to keep asking til she told me something but I figured I will ask later or she will tell me eventually. Its funny how much things have changed in so little time. I wonder if I did something wrong?
Chloe stops Beca for a minute seeing that look. "You didn't do anything wrong, we'll talk later, okay?"
When they entered Chilis Aubrey sensed something was wrong. Elizabeth sensed it too, but neither Charlotte or Keith noticed.
Is everything okay Chlo...so help me if Beca did something soldier or not I will kick her ass. - Aubrey texts her friend.
Chloe sees her phone with 1 new text. Everything is fine no need to kick her ass. I'm fine.
Aubrey lets it go for now sending a glare to her sister. Jesse felt a little uncomfortable glancing between his best friend and Chloe. For two people clearly in love there was tension but why? Shouldn't they be all smiles, than Jesse remembers after tomorrow they will seperate once again.
"Mr. and Mrs. Posen and Mrs. Beale will you excuse me for a minute I need to talk to Chloe outside for a minute."
Chloe seems confused but follows Jesse outside anyways. Beca is pissed she knows Aubrey said something to Jesse.
"Seriously Aubrey can't you just mind your own damn business!"
"Not if concerns my best friend I won't."
"Its not your relationship its between Chloe and I, for your infomation I didn't do anything." Beca says defending herself.
"Girls stop this right now that is no way to act in public." Keith says sternly to both his daughters. "Can't we have just celebrate the fact Beca graduated boot camp and get along without any arugments."
Elizabeth said quiet for the most part than finally speaks up. "I agree you know Aubrey that Jesse guy seems like a nice young man."
Aubrey blushes. "He really is...Beca tell us about the boot camp experience."
Meanwhile outside Chili's
"Jesse what is this about? Your not gonna give me the whole if you hurt my best friend speech are you?"
"No that will come later I just wanted to say that you were all happy and smiles earlier and now not so much. I know we aren't that great of friends but I'm a good listener. Whats bothering you?"
"Look, I don't want to talk to you its something I need to talk to Beca about...I'm fine everything is fine can we just go back in there...I'm starving."
"Yeah but Chloe she loves you she's not going anywhere. Are you scared she is going to get deployed?"
Chloe stops dead in her tracks looking straight in Jesse's eyes. "I know thats a possibility but thats not it so can we go in I don't want to talk about it with you."
I know Jesse was just being Jesse but I didn't feel I could just talk about it, this is between Beca and I. I don't know maybe he is right I mean when you join the military its inevitable that you will get deployed, its just...
Chloe gets pulled out of her thoughts realizing she hasn't even moved. She feels tears starting to form, Jesse immediately wraps her up in a hug.
"Its going to be okay when that time does come you will have Aubrey and I. We should probably get back in there."
Beca kept looking over at the door. What the hell is taking them so long? What could they possibly be talking about? She thought to herself turns again to the door to see them walking back to the table. "You okay?"
Chloe smiles hoping Beca didn't notice her red puffy eyes, she did, but didn't say anything.
"So whose ready to order?"
"Finally!" Aubrey bursts out impatiently getting a glare from her father. "Sorry sir."
Beca whispers something in Chloe's ear. "You okay?"
Chloe smiles looking over at Jesse knowingly than turns back to her girlfriend. "Lets just enjoy this dinner okay I promise we'll talk later."
They all ordered their food once they got done Beca insisted she pay, but her dad wasn't having that. This is a celebration of Beca's successful completion of boot camp. As they went to there seperate vehicles Chloe's mother said something to the honoree of the night.
"I just wanted to say that I am proud of you. I'm sorry I couldn't get you anything but I talked with your parents even Aubrey and Jesse agreed, we going to head back home tonight. You and Chloe deserve to have the rest of the night to yourselves." Before Beca could protest she continues with an explanation. "You know about Chloe's father and why he couldn't come, Chloe doesn't know the full details of it all but when it gets really bad don't let it scare you, she'll probably push you away but be there for you as she was for you."
"I promise I love your daughter Mrs. Beale. Long ago, I didn't believe in anything really but things happen hopefully Mr. Beale will get better, so do you know how long he has?"
"There is no telling dear I will keep you updated." She hugs Beca. "And call me Elizabeth we are way past formalities don't you think?"
Beca nods her head. "Yes Mrs. B...I mean Elizabeth."
Chloe wondered what her mother and Beca were talking about, she talks to Aubrey and Jesse while they talked.
"Jesse told me what happened outside. Beca flipped out thinking I told him to talk to you but he did that on his own. I just your my best friend and I just wanted to know are you really okay?"
Chloe thinks for a moment looks over at her girlfriend and mother talking, laughing and smiling, than smiles herself looking over at her best friend and Jesse. "I really am okay, so has your dad had the talk with Jesse about dating his daughter?"
Jesse looks to the ground. Aubrey takes his hand in hers smiling. "He tried on our way up here but I am sure on the way back he will." turns to Jesse. "Don't worry I think he approves of you already."
"What do you mean on your way back? Aren't you all staying for her graduation tomorrow?"
"Chloe this your time with Beca sure we want to be here for her, but she will be home soon and we'll see her than." Aubrey says trying hard not to cry, she really was going to miss having Beca around.
Jesse notices Aubrey fidgeting. "Chloe this wasn't our idea it was mom's and the Posens. I'm sure thats what your mom is telling Beca. Enjoy each other wait that sounded pervy didn't it?"
Aubrey and Chloe couldn't help but laugh. Moments later they all said their goodbyes so all was left is Chloe and Beca.
"So, how much time do we have til you got to be back?"
Beca looks at her watch. "A couple of hours, and here I thought Aubrey didn't have a heart...I thought she wanted to see me get smoked."
Chloe takes her arm looping it with Beca's. "That was almost a nice thing you said, but in a way I'm glad its just us, Beca?" the small brunette looks over at her. "Do you ever think about them?"
"Who?"
"Your biological parents, do you ever think about them?"
"Sometimes, why?" Beca asked curiously. please don't ask about your dad.
"My dad he's sick but you talk to my parents more than I do." She says as they both sit in the parking lot of Chili's. "I know something bad is going to happen if you know something, anything will you tell me?"
Beca grabs her girlfriends hands intertwining with hers. "I will tell you anything you want to know but can we not talk about it lets just enjoy the time we have together because I really have missed you."
Chloe leans in for a kiss, at first it was slow than it got more intense. She broke away, smiled started the car up driving to wherever.
Whoa! They both thought at the same time about the kiss.
Sitting in the back with Jesse on their way back to Georgia she took out the letter that Beca wrote her while in boot camp. He wonders what she is reading but decides to let it go.
Dear Aubrey,
This is one letter I was not expecting to get, maybe we are alot alike than I like to admit. Wait I think I just did, you came into my life in a fucked up way and I know at first we hated each other, than I joined the Bellas we formed a bond. We talked and stuff not that I am getting sentimental or less sarcastic but thank you for keeping those conversations between us. Your the older sibling that I never really wanted but secretly did want. Its as if we should have been sisters all along except we aren't blood related. You didn't judge me well okay you did...but after that 'talk' you stopped. You really did care and I think you always have even when we aruged. Your father well I guess I am comfortable to say now our father used to be military, he was tough on us but of course you, Chloe and I including our mother we get to see a softer side. I wanted to make him proud that is the reason I decided to join the army...I want my life to mean something and NO I am not doing it for my biological father, He killed himself for a selfish reason. I may not be the most expressive of feelings but I did and will always love my parents but they don't matter to me anymore. You, Dad, Mom, Chloe and yes Jesse matter to me. I never said anything before but when I broke up with Jesse he told me how he wanted too as well because it was you he wanted to be with besides at least he is with someone that can appreciate his love for movies; which okay its grown on me but with Chloe I can do and feel amazingly invincible. I am not leading her on nor would I ever...I want to be better, I feel incredibly better and yeah I shouldn't have left the way I did and I know your pissed but please understand it wasn't to intentionally hurt Chloe. I am glad she got me to finally look at College in a different light, and I must say being a Bella was pretty cool, not as lame as I thought it was going to be. Your a good person try not to be so uptight all the time, let loose once in awhile not like Stacie although Fat Amy I mean Amy is right she should listen to her 'lady doctor'. Maybe your thinking I won't write you back, at first I didn't want too but that was a real dick move and by the way telling me I have a toner for Jesse was so not right maybe you were just jealous because he was trying so hard to get with me. Don't vomit on me! You got the guy and I got my girl at least I hope so once Jesse puts that flashdrive and note I left for her before well you know...anyways I'm glad I'm a Posen which I have to tell you that I am in the works of putting Posen to my name, talked to mom and dad about it but I thought I would ask you just to be sure you would be okay with it, is it okay? too much? Anyways see you on family day or whenever.
Beca Mitchell (Posen?)
Aubrey didn't let the tears fall just held Jesse's hand looks over to her parents than Chloe's mom. Sometimes in life things are said with no words at all, Aubrey always had a special bond with Chloe's family than she chuckles to herself realizing Beca hasn't even met Chloe's brothers.
"Babe will your brothers be visiting your parents for thanksgiving?" Beca asked Chloe.
Chloe nods her head. "They will love you seeing as how my brother Connor will be on leave and I believe Jake will have vacation time from work, so it should be fun with us all there."
"I am sure it will if there anything like you I'm sure I will be just fine." She says truthfully. "Chloe?"
"Hmmm?" she answers paying attention to the road.
Beca ran up to Jesse than kissed him but it wasn't right. She hoped Chloe didn't see which she didn't but Aubrey did. They should have been her, but beating the trebles trumped anything she was feeling at that very moment. Aubrey turned away hugging all her bellas, Beca pushed Jesse away both with the same expressions.
"I'm sorry I know that is so stupid to say. Jesse I don't why I felt I needed to do that I shouldn't have I just want to be friends. We are friends, right?" Jesse nodded not sure what to say lettting Beca continue. "I'm not that girl for you ever! Sorry but I just uh have to find Chloe."
"Go get your girl Becawww...You do like Chloe afterall, right?" Beca says nothing but blushes. "I get it believe me I do, we are friends always will be sooo go for it." He says hugging her which Beca surprisingly intercepts. "I like Aubrey! Like really like her of course she is out of my league."
"Shut up Swanson I leave tomorrow so remember put that flashdrive in Chloe's desk or wherever."
"I know I won't so your not mad I'm digging your sister."
"No, go for it and I will do the same well try too at least."
"I'm sorry for not staying." Beca finally answers.
"Don't be so wanna listen to music?" Beca nods her head, Chloe turns on titanium.
"Thats your lady jam."
"I know, we got tomorrow don't we?" Chloe asked with a wink. "Besides I can control myself."
Moments later Beca is back at the barracks. Family Day is over, Chloe stood on the grass as she watched all the soldiers go to their platoons. This wasn't new to her, Chloe's older brother Connor is military so she couldn't wait to see whatever was going to happen next.
"Half left face turn!" oh god. Chloe thought to herself. They are doing push-ups!
