More than Miles (Her name is Beca Mitchell)
AN: Bear with the dramas, (this is cliché.) So, apparently, we're supposed to have a 'running' Beca Mitchell, but it would only fall back to the 'mainstreams' of the clichés. (I agree with the reader who said that it's cliché) I figured BeChloe fighting together would at least cut off the drama.
PS: The ending is really near.
PPS: Again, this is not a drill.
The next morning, Jesse arrived at the girls' house, rushing and his face looked in trouble.
"Calm down, Jesse. Is it about that German bitch?" Chloe asked when she opened the door for the brunette guy. Jesse stared at the redhead for a moment before taking a deep breath.
"I need to talk to Beca." Jesse stated as soon as he was able to catch his breath.
Chloe furrowed her eyebrows, she already talked to Beca. And they're both sticking together. No matter how hard Komissar tries.
"Alright, I'll call her." Chloe said, before walking upstairs, calling her fiancée.
Beca went down and without further words, she already knew what's up with her cousin. Komissar is going all out. She needs to make a decision now, or rather, she needs to stick with her decision.
The tiny brunette turned to Chloe, giving her a small smile before pecking at her lips.
"I'll be back. Have a good day at your work." Beca said, brushing her thumb on Chloe's toned arms.
"I love you." Beca added, her eyes on the redhead before walking to her cousin. Chloe gave a small smile before nodding. She knew she'll have to support whatever it is that Beca would do. She just has to have some faith in her.
Beca nodded at her cousin, before leaving the house. They just sat in Jesse's car, handing Beca some folders, even without looking, Beca knew what it was.
Jesse's giving up his shares.
"Beca, let's just cancel the deal. You don't have to marry Komissar. We can start over again. You can return to your music, if you want." Jesse layed out his suggestions, he had been thinking about this since the day Beca's father died.
Beca shook her head, a faint smile on her lips.
"No, Jesse. You can't lose this. We can't just give everything up. My dad worked hard for the company, he died for it. We're talking about those people that my dad worked with. I'm not just throwing it away." Beca's tone was firm.
Jesse narrowed his eyes at his cousin.
"Beca I already talked to my parents. Don't be so stubborn. You can't give up your happiness for some business shit. I do care for those people, but I don't think they'll be happy to know what you would have to do to save the business." Jesse explained, worried that Beca might resort to her old self again.
He didn't like it when the time where they were almost losing it, and he couldn't do anything. Komissar's right, back then, all he could do was watch Beca throw everything away because she was left with no choice but to leave everything that she really cares about. Including the people that she loves dearly.
And if there's one thing that Jesse was sure that didn't change in Beca, it's that she always takes things on her own, no matter how it pains her. She'd proven it when she was willing to let Chloe go to Tom, when she had no choice but to leave Chloe, and when she was being forced to marry Komissar to save the business.
But that's that, because Jesse knew that Beca would sort things out, and in her luck, she'd be able to save both. She wouldn't have to choose which to drop. She would just have to be strong.
Beca just smiled, her eyes gazing on the folder in her hand.
"Who told you I'm going to do what Komissar is trying to hook me with?" Beca stated, she might not be able to think of a possible way for now… she's confident she'll find a way.
Jesse's face lightens up. He knew by then that this time, Beca isn't going to back down. She might be stubborn to make him keep his shares, but Jesse still has another way.
If Komissar's going to pull her last card, might as well, pull his alas under his sleeve then. If Beca is willing to do this, then he had planned things right. They won't have to do it for Beca. Because they're going to do it with Beca.
"What are you planning to do, then?" Jesse asked, wanting to know if Beca has already a plan. The tiny brunette was silent for a while, she bit her lower lip as she thought about it deeply.
"I'm going back to LA to sort things out. I'm just worried that Chloe may think that I'm leaving again." Beca sighed. Of course, the problem would be in LA.
Komissar would start threatening the people, she could give up her position, but she could not just leave those people under Komissar's hands.
She wanted to at least make sure of their future. One thing that his dad always worries about. Chloe's right, maybe Beca was some sort of a hero in her past life. That Beca kept on doing it up to this present time.
"I can go alone, Beca." Jesse offered. As much as he wanted to tell his cousin to focus on her wedding, he knew that Beca wouldn't be able to give all her attention knowing that there's a huge problem going on.
"I'll talk to Chloe about it. We'll sort this together." Beca assured him. Even Beca was surprised that despite the possible trouble ahead, she still felt confident about everything.
Maybe it's because she knew that Chloe is with her. And that would be enough to keep her going.
"If you say so, Beca. I think Komissar would be going all out with a quick blow specially when your friends humiliated her last night." Jesse said with a smirk on his face.
Beca's face scrunched up, she looked at him and they were silent for a second, before Beca could realize what Jesse meant.
She had totally forgotten that both Stacie and Aubrey were left last night with Komissar. Plus, the fact that the girls were all there last night, and Beca knew that having them altogether is trouble. Well, it's a riot. In this case, Komissar got that 'trouble'. They just took Chloe out of the picture, but even if Beca doesn't exactly know what the girls did last night, she is sure that Komissar is going wild right now, and itching to get back, well, particularly at her and Chloe.
"You didn't stop them?" Beca asked unbelievingly.
"It's a girl fight Becs. Damn, now I know why you were always in trouble back then." Jesse defended with an amused grin on his face.
"You're not leaving again, Beca. That's that." Chloe stood on her ground, the girls watching them argue.
Beca took a deep sigh, though she felt a bit happy to see Chloe acting like they're wives already.
"Chlo, I'm not leaving like 'leave'. I just really needed to go back there and see what I can do." Beca argued. Chloe glared at the tiny brunette.
"If you can't tell, Shawshank. Last time you went for LA, it took you five years to come home." Fat Amy pointed out, Beca rolled her eyes at the Australian blonde, while Chloe nodded. Fair point.
"But Komissar isn't going to stop. I have responsibility to those people. I just can't turn my back on them like what I have done to you guys." Beca snapped back.
"Just set her a time, Red." Stacie suggested. Because she knew that if Beca couldn't find a way to solve this ridiculousness of Komissar, it's time for them to step in.
No, they hadn't stepped in yet when they humiliated Komissar few nights ago.
"What do you mean?" Chloe asked, brows furrowed. Stacie turned to her blonde girlfriend and nodded.
"Two weeks Beca. If you can't take that German pest out of our lives, out of your and Chloe's lives. We'll put the matter in our own hands." Aubrey explained.
Both Chloe and Beca furrowed their eyebrows in confusion. They knew that they're capable of that in terms of well… physical war but this time, it's different. And as much as Beca likes the idea of giving Komissar a lesson not to mess with them, she knew too well that the blonde wouldn't stop. Until she gets Beca.
"That is… if Chloe could wait for two weeks without boning Beca." Stacie added nonchalantly, without looking at them. Chloe's face flushed at the statement.
Beca bit the insides of her cheeks, trying to stop her smiles. She turned to face her fiancée, who now seemed to be thinking about Aubrey's suggestion.
"I can work with two weeks." Beca answered as she looked at Chloe, waiting for an approval.
As anyone could see, except for Beca and Chloe, the girls seemed not to be freaking out by this. Well, if ever, they could stop Komissar from urging Beca to marry her by burying the German blonde. That is, the initial plan.
They were all silently waiting for Chloe's response, watching the expression that Chloe was showing, they knew this wasn't easy for the redhead. Her eyes were a bit teary that Beca has to step forward, cupping the redhead's cheeks.
"Chloe, we've been apart for years. I'm sure two weeks won't kill us. And this time, you won't lose me. Let me just handle this for once. They were all panicking there right now, they need me. I promise you, I will settle this without being tied down with Komissar. Besides, I'm still going to marry you." Beca's voice was soft, her eyes gazing deeply at Chloe's.
A strained tear had escaped her eyes, but she smiled faintly. "If you don't come back in two weeks, I swear to God."
Everyone let go of their breath that they forgot they were holding. Beca's smile went wide as she leaned forward to kiss the redhead's lips. Before it could go any further, the girls cleared their throat to remind the two that they're still there.
Stacie just shook her head with a wide smile on her face. If they're this kind of in love, she's sure that even if Komissar hostaged Beca to a church to marry her, these two, will still find their way back to each other. And that, is a fact.
"Why do I feel like I'm marrying a hero?" Chloe sarcastically said as she snuggled into Beca. The brunette smirked as she placed a kiss on Chloe's head.
"I'm just badass." Beca replied causing Chloe to roll her eyes.
Chloe lifted her head and stared at the brunette. Beca twitched her nose as she stared back.
"I'm proud of you that you're taking responsibility of those people. I don't want to be selfish Beca. But I don't want to lose you. Especially not with that dumb German whose obsessed with you to the point where she is willing to ruin lives just to get you." Chloe's voice was mixed with sadness and frustrations.
She kept on getting mixed emotions from the last few weeks, maybe because a lot had happened. And there are people who keep on ruining things between her and Beca.
Or maybe it's because of her hormones. Girl stuffs.
"You won't lose me, Chlo. That's a promise." Beca caressed the redhead's cheeks before planting a kiss on her lips.
A kiss that was quickly reciprocated. When they pulled away, both were smiling as they catch their breath.
"You say you wanted pizza for dinner?" Beca asked, Chloe excitedly nodded before pecking on her fiancée's lips once again.
Beca then sat up, phone in her hand, ready to place an order. She felt Chloe's hands playing on the hem of her blouse, her fingers brushing on her back. While she was ordering on the phone, she felt the hair on the back of her neck all stood up when she felt Chloe sitting behind her, sniffing her scent like a dog.
She knew that the redhead is really touchy and clingy, but really? Despite her fight to supress her grunts when Chloe started nipping her shoulders, she had successfully ordered the pizza that the redhead is craving for. She then turned around and captured Chloe's hands that had been playing on her back while she was placing an order.
Chloe giggled when Beca gripped on her wrist, pushing her back to bed whilst the brunette hovered on top of her.
"You're really naughty. Aren't you?" Beca said with a smirk. Chloe just giggled, causing the brunette to groan as she leaned down and kissing the redhead.
Beca furrowed her eyebrow when she went down to kiss Chloe's neck, instead of earning a small moan, she felt Chloe sniffing her scent once again. When she stopped kissing the redhead's neck, Chloe moved her head into the crook of Beca's neck. Her warm breath sent a tingling sensation to Beca, causing her to feel shivers down her spine.
"You smell so good, Beca." Chloe whispered. Beca smirked albeit weirded by the redhead.
"I think you always say that even when we're all sweaty." Beca winked, it caused Chloe to flash her playful smile.
Before they could proceed to their 'process' of making ten little Bloe's, as what Fat Amy would call it, they heard a knock on their door. Half-heartedly, Beca went off of Chloe as she stood up and opened the door.
"Jesse's downstairs." Fat Amy said, her eyes glancing across Beca's shoulders and saw Chloe lying on the bed, fully clothed.
Beca noticed the look in Amy's face. She rolled her eyes,
"We're not doing anything, yet, Amy. You just cockblocked us." Beca stated bluntly, the blonde muttered an; 'Oh' before grinning and walking downstairs.
A minute later, Beca and Chloe went down, their hands intertwined together, and they found Jesse and the girls hurdling in the living room. When their presence was noticed, they all moved as if they were hiding something from the two.
"What's up, nerd?" Beca nodded at him, before sitting on the couch, Chloe settling down on her lap.
They all exchanged glances before shaking their head, the two seemed to be inseparable, so really, they don't have to worry about Komissar's threat and antics.
"Some of our investors were calling. Clearly, Komissar's family had spread the word that they're taking over. They had also announced that the old employees would be kicked out if ever." Jesse explained, worries and concern in his voice.
Beca took a deep breath, slightly nodding.
"What are you planning to do?" Chloe asked the tiny brunette. Beca looked up to her and shot her a comforting smile.
"I'll have to talk to step-monster. I hate to say it, but she would know what my father would do if he's alive." Beca admitted.
"I know you're going to crush it Beca. Show that German that it's ginger who holds your tail, not her."
Everyone turned to Amy with weirded looks on their face.
"Probably not a good idea to use the word 'tail'." Fat Amy mumbled as she nodded.
"Two weeks, Beca. If we don't hear anything from you, we'll come right there and hunt you down." Stacie reminded the petite woman who couldn't stop herself from smiling.
Beca couldn't imagine how matured they'd all grown. She couldn't believe that this girl in front of her was her bestfriend, Stacie who were just as playful as the others, is nor talking to her like she's her mother.
"Why do you make it sound like you're my fiancée too?" Beca joked. Stacie rolled her eyes, playfully shoving Beca's arms.
Chloe and the rest of the girls went out of the house, to see her off. The scene was familiar, it was like five years ago, when Beca was first moving to LA. Except that this time, Beca is leaving her fiancée for two weeks to fix things so they could proceed to planning their wedding.
The thought of being married to Chloe Beale is what's making Beca motivated to get this over with. The redhead approached her, her eyes glistening with tears. Beca plastered a soft smile as she holds Chloe's hands in hers, her thumb playing on the ring in Chloe's finger.
"Chloe, don't worry. I'll come back to you. It's just two weeks, baby." Beca reassured her. Chloe stared at her girlfriend's eyes before nodding, a single tear escaping her eyes.
"I know, you already told me a lot of times that you have to take responsibility to those people." Chloe managed to choke down her sob.
Damn, mood swings were really messing with her. She was in full support of what Beca is going to do, but she still feels sad that they would have to be apart, again.
Beca chuckled as she cupped Chloe's cheeks. She kissed her forehead before staring back at her.
"I promise, Chloe. You told me that when I come home, you'll be fine with me just being a music producer or maybe, just some random Dj, I know you'll like that because it might probably cut down my charms in public." Beca grinned as she continued to gaze at Chloe.
"I can't do that if I have another job in LA. So, I need to fix that first, alright?" Beca's tone was calm that it soothes Chloe's worries. The redhead nodded with a small smile on her face.
"Yeah… and maybe, you'll have to take another responsibility when you come back." Chloe mumbled, her voice was hushed that Beca hadn't caught that.
The redhead bit her lower lip, before leaning forward and capturing Beca's lips once again. The scene reminded of Jesse like those ones in the movies wherein Beca is some sort of a superhero, without special powers and she still has to save the world.
When Chloe pulled away from the kiss, she grabbed Beca's hands, her palm was wide open and there, Chloe placed a what seemed to be a thermometer in Beca's hand, except that it's different from a normal one. Or at least, that's what everyone is seeing.
Beca furrowed her eyebrows when Chloe squeezed her hand before letting it go, before her eyes could take a look on what was in her hand, Chloe once again pulled her into a kiss.
It was just by then, almost everyone had their mouth agape, all were gasping at the realization. They all exchanged glances, different emotions welling up their hearts. Jesse cursed under his breath when he realized that why does he always have to take Beca with her during this kind of precious moments.
"We'll wait for you, Beca." Chloe whispered.
Beca looked down on her hand as she held it up, her eyes wide open in surprise at what she was looking at. Then, a tear quickly rolled down her cheeks.
1 down, 9 to go.
