"Beca are you okay?" Chloe asked as she looked at her girlfriend with concern. The girl hasn't spoken a word since they got back to the brunettes dorm.

"I'm fine, it's just, a bit too much to process. A girl I spent so many years missing... It turns out she was just hurting as much as I was," Beca replied softly, the brunette repositioned herself on her own bed and layed on her back.

"Becs.." Chloes expression softened as she heard the hint of vulnerability in the brunettes tone.

"I mean, she had feelings for me? That's totally not I was expecting, dude it's just so messed up," Beca groaned and covered her face with her small hands.

"Do you want to talk to her about it?" Chloe asked, "I'm not going to, freak out like earlier."

A small smirk formed on the brunettes face as she propped her body up with her shoulders, "you're such a jealous girlfriend Beale."

"Shut up, I didn't mean to act like that," Chloe pouted innocently.

"You sure as hell acted like an overprotective girlfriend back there, which I totally appreciate by the way." Beca smirked and sat up on her bed.

"I hate you," Chloe mumbled and sat down on Beca's bed.

"Nah you love me," Beca wriggled her brows triumphantly, she shifted her body to Chloe's side and rested her head on the redheads shoulders.

"But I think I need to do it, for a closure," Beca replied softly. Chloe hummed in response and linked their hands together.

"Then go talk to her, sort it all out," Chloe replied with a soft tone, "I'll be here for you no matter what."

Beca smiled softly and nodded.

"I will."

Chloe smiled warmly and turned her head to face Beca's, she looked deep into the brunettes eyes, wanting to show just how much she loved her. The redhead cupped Beca's face softly and slowly leaned in.

Her lips melted as soon as their lips collided, their lips moved in sync as both woman were discovering this new but beautiful element that was just added to their lives not too long ago. Beca cautiously swiped her tongue along Chloe's lip asking for permission to which Chloe gladly allowed.

Their tongues battled for dominance, exploring, enjoying the comfort one simple kiss was bringing them. This wasn't about lust, nor was it about purely sexual attraction. The kiss was like a drug to the girls, and neither of them could stop it.

Feeling the kiss heating up, Chloe guided Beca back to her bed, having her lay on her back. Without disconnecting their lips, Chloe continued kissing her girlfriend, finally being the dominant one, she gently rested her body on Beca's.

Upon feeling the contact of their chests pressing together, she couldn't help but let out a small moan. Beca smirked through the kiss and placed her hands on Chloe's waist bringing their bodies closer to eachother.

Moving her hands down, Chloe gently massaged Beca's breast earning a small moan from the brunette. Beca's back arched towards Chloe, she brought her hands to the red locks wanting to keep the red head closer as possible.

"Fuck Beale, what did I do to deserve you," Beca panted as they rested their foreheads against eachother, both gasping for air.

Smiling at the words, Chloe gave Beca a small peck on her lips and flipped herself over so she was laying next to Beca on her back next to Beca. Their bodies were extremely close considering Beca's bed wasn't quite large itself.

"You stole my line Becs," Chloe let out a soft chuckle, "I wouldn't know what to do if you gave up on me since I was such a horrible best friend."

"You know I could never cut you out of my life even if I wanted to," Beca replied, "I tried, but it only lead to a crazy stalker redhead being at the hospital when I was discharged."

"It wouldn't have happened if you replied to the crazy redheads texts or calls," Chloe replied playfully.

"Oh yeah about that," the brunette laughed awkwardly, "I may have changed my number."

Chloe's eyes widened at this and she turned to her side and faced the brunette, "you really wanted to get rid of me that bad," she asked with a sad smile.

"Yeah, I wanted to get rid of everyone to be honest," Beca stated calmly, "that's what I do."

"Why did you go to Jesse though?" Chloe whispered.

"Well, he IS the only close friend I have who's not a Bella," Beca sighed dramatically and took the redheads hands into her own, "he told me how much my actions was hurting you and scolded me for being a bitch."

"He really did that," Chloe grinned.

"He sure did," Beca smirked, "he's the reason why I didn't leave barden just yet."

"Don't you dare leave us again," Chloe warned and looked down at their hands which were linked together.

"I won't, that's a promise."

Beca just left her dorm the next day, kissing Chloe goodbye since the red head insisted on staying over the night before.

The redhead had no place better to be at in the moment so she decided to stay and wait for her girlfriend to return from her meet up with Ashley.

Considering the possibility of any sort of outburst regarding to her jealous self, she politely declined Beca's offer to have her come along. She didn't want to make things awkward between Beca and Ashley. She was positive she would make that happen.

As she was studying for her upcoming Russian lit exam, she heard a knock on the door. The red head furrowed her brows and thought to herself, "who could that be."

She walked to the door and opened it up, revealing a familiar face.

"Beca I ne-, oh hey Chloe," Stacie greeted, "where's Beca?"

"Um she went to have lunch with Ashley," Chloe explained and gestured the long legged brunette in.

"And you're okay with this?" Stacie asked as she sat down on Beca's chair.

"Yeah, it turned out Ashley went through some tough moments, Becs wanted some sort of closure I guess." Chloe replied and sat down on Beca's bed.

"I see.." Stacie replied mindlessly as if her thoughts was wandering around in places other than Beca's dorm.

"Chloe I think I should talk to you about something," after a long pause, Stacie finally spoke up with a stern tone.

"Uh sure, what's up?" Chloe replied nervously, the sudden change in Stacies tone thickened the air around the girls.

"I've been Beca's close friend kind of, for the past year of knowing her, I can say that I understand her. Maybe not as much as you but still." Stacie started, "I could tell how much you mean to her from the way her eyes sparkled with the mention of your name."

Chloe nodded stiffly wondering where the conversation is headed.

"After Ashley joined the Bellas, things happened, bringing pain to the both of you actually, I forced Beca to tell me the real reason behind the accident a few days ago and," Stacie paused and took a deep breath, tears threatening to leave her eyes, "I wouldn't say you're the reason she got herself to that place, but what you did up until that day really pushed her over the edge."

Chloe sat frozen in her position, fearing that even a slight movement of her muscles could have her break down into tears. What Stacie is saying is harsh but so god damn true, she has been a shitty friend bringing who knows how much pain to Beca. She hated herself for that.

"None of the other Bellas know of what happened that night, or what you did with Ashley. And I wouldn't be an asshole telling the other girls about it," Stacie stated, "but Chloe, you mean so much to Beca that you're the reason behind all her smiles and even tears. You have already become a huge part of her life whether she's realized it or not."

Stacie sighed sat down next to the Chloe, wiping away the tear that just left the red heads eye.

"Don't fuck this up Chloe, that's all I ask for." Stacie finished and wrapped her arms around Chloe.

Chloe sobbed silently and leaned in to Stacies embrace.

"I'm sorry for what happened the past few months, I really failed you guys didn't I?" Chloe chuckled softly.

"Yeah you kind of did," Stacie replied sarcastically, "you're such a horrible red head girl."

"Shut up," Chloe laughed nuzzled her head to the crooke of Stacies neck.

"I won't until you promise you won't hurt her by any stupid antics," Stacie replied smugly.

Straightening her body, Chloe locked her eyes with Stacies with a serious gaze, "I know I fucked up, I promise I will never do that again."

"Good," Stacie smiled warmly in response.

Beca was sitting at her usual spot in the campus cafe, on another level on candy crush. Chloe was concerned about Beca's addiction with the game, but the brunette ran away from Chloe with her phone in hand when the red head wanted to delete the game from her phone. No one could steal candy crush from her, no one.

"Um hey Beca," a timid voice spoke up.

Already knowing who the owner of the voice is, Beca looked up and smiled warmly at the nervous emerald eye girl standing in front of her.

"Hey Ash, come on sit down," Beca gestured the seat on her opposite side.

Nodding her head silently, Ashley pulled the chair out and sat down nervously.

"Loosen up dude, we're here for lunch, not an interrogation," Beca joked, wanting to ease the tension.

A small smile formed on the dark haired girls face, "I missed this," Ashley admitted softly.

"Me too," Beca replied as she looked out the window, she always adored the window view from her usual spot, it calms her down in a weird way.

"So, what do you want to talk about," Ashley asked after she placed her orders. She went for a fruit salad for she had a decent amount of breakfast and just wasn't that hungry yet.

"Anything you want to honestly, I have some questions in mind but I figured they might be too inappropriate for the time being." Beca said and took a small sip of her latte.

"Go for it Beca, I can handle it," Ashley assured the brunette, "you deserve to know the answers."

"You sure about that?" Beca asked, locking her gaze on her... friend.

"Yes," Ashley nodded firmly.

The food arrived shortly after, Ashley thanked the waitress with a smile then shifted her attention back to Beca.

"Shoot," she continued.

Beca shifted awkwardly on her seat, trying to form the questions that have been stuck in her head for days.

"Umm, where is Greg? Why isn't he here to go all psycho on you?" The brunettes asked with a small voice.

"Oh," Ashley said softly, "he actually found another woman and decided to leave me on my own when I was 17, so my uncle took me in," Ashley explained whilst playing with the fruit in her salad bowl.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Beca replied softly.

"Don't be, my life actually has gotten better after moving in with my uncle," Ashley winked and brought a small piece of Apple to her mouth.

"I'm glad to hear that," the brunette nodded, "do you still have, um, feelings for me?"

Ashley smiled sadly, "I can't say I don't, you're my first love, and will always hold a special place in my heart. But Chloe makes you happy, she's perfect for you. I can't really do anything more to sabotage you guys."

Beca laughed awkwardly, "as much as I don't want to admit it, you're the reason why we figured out the feelings we have for eachother."

Ashley raised her brows in amusement and replied, "so I'm Cupid to you guys now huh,"

"Nah Cupid looks nothing like you," Beca snorted, "you're more like Aphrodite," the brunette added with a smirk.

Ashley grinned, "how sweet of you, you're still adorable," she said and pinched the brunettes nose playfully.

Beca pursed her lips and frowned, "I'm not adorable."

Ashley grinned smugly and leaned back on the chair, "you so are, just admit it."

Beca shook her head and laughed softly, "you know, I missed my best friend over this past few years."

Ashley's expression softened, "me too." Sure the girl has survived this past few years, but she always felt empty, like something was missing in her heart. Now she knew what the missing part was.

Beca gently placed her hands on the darker haired girls, "are we still best friends?" An action she wasn't expecting herself to do in all honesty.

Upon the contact, Ashley felt a wave of warmth wash over her cold stones heart, it melt the ice walls that had been built for protection since she hurt Beca years ago. Behind the ice walls, was the innocent girl she used to be. The girl who knew what true love is, the girl who would do anything just to protect her best friend. The girl who believed that the world is a beautiful place to live in.

"Depends on you, are we?" Ashley replied softly.

"Yeah, just promise me not to fall for my sexiness," Beca said with a wide smile on her face.

"I'll get over you, I promise, you're not THAT special," Ashley retorted.

"Ouch, then what did all the speech you gave earlier mean?" Beca placed her hand on her chest, trying to fake a hurtful expression.

"I didn't mean any of it," Ashley smirked.

"Yeah you did," Beca rolled her eyes.

Ashley laughed at their childish banter which brought an amused glint to Beca's eyes.

"What?" Beca asked with a small tug on her lips.

"I missed joking around with you," Ashley sighed, "I didn't really have any friends after I left you, I just couldn't let Greg hurt anyone I cared for anymore," the emerald eyes girl continued playing with her food, enjoying the comfortable silence between her and her old best friend, "I love you Becs, not in that way but as a best friend."

"As much as I want to say the same thing back, this conversation is getting too emotional, and I can't handle anymore of it," Beca replied with a snigger.

The dark haired girl chuckled but decided to change the topic,"so how have you been these years, I need thorough updates."

"Well I've been into mixing and I want to move to LA and make music after graduation," Beca started, enjoying the rekindling of their long lost friendship.
