"So are you going to tell me why you disappeared for a week?" Beca asked Chloe when they laying comfortable on Beca's couch.

"I didn't dissappear. I was just at my family's lake house" Chloe answered.

"Okay, why didn't you tell anyone where you went?" Beca asked.

"I told them I needed some time alone. If they had used their heads, they would've known were I was. The past few years I went there when I needed some time for myself" the redhead said slightly irritated.

"Why did you need some time for yourself?" Beca asked curious.

"After our conversation, I needed some time to process things."

Beca nodded understanding and didn't ask further. If Chloe was ready she would talk.

"I've been so mad at you for years. I was so upset after you left. For the past ten years I've asked myself every day what I did wrong. What I could have done to prevent this. What I should've done."

"And then you showed up out of nowhere. Buying a house anonymous. It was to much for me to handle. When I finally found the strength to listen to you, I didn't expect to hear the reasons you had for leaving."

"Then I started to think. Knowing that this all could have been prevented if you just had talked to me."

"Knowing now made me realise we could've have it all. By now we could've been married. We could've had our own family. A house with a white fence, a dog and our 2.5 kids. Coming home to a family. I just started to think about what we missed out on. And that was more than I could take. That's why I left" Chloe said almost in tears.

Beca didn't know how to respond to Chloe's confession. She hadn't thought about those things at the time. All she had thought about all those years ago was that she had to leave. That she had to protect herself against a broken heart.

"I'm so so sorry for everything I put you through" she only said.

"Well, there's nothing we can't change about it anymore" the redhead responded.

None of them knew what to say next, so they just sat there in comfortable silence. They both realised that they needed more than just this conversation to fix everything that happened.

Unbeknown to each other, they were both willing to give everything that would be needed to fix this. They both still loved each other. They still wanted each other. But they both knew that they needed to fix everything before they could pick things up where they left all those years ago.

Exhausted, they decided that it was probably for the best that they went to sleep. They could talk tomorrow and the rest of their lives. But for know they both needed to rest. Process the things they had talked about. At least they made a start to make things right again between them.

Laying in her bed, Beca couldn't help but think at the idea how her life could've been if she stayed.

Hoe her life would've been if she and Chloe would've married. Then they would've been together in her big bed right now. She wondered how things would've been if they had kids running through the house. She imagined mini redheads chasing their dog. Their kids would've been growing up with their nieces and nephews.

With the Bellas as their crazy aunts, probably spoiling them and teaching them things that Beca probably would be against.

Her life would've been better if she had made the right decisions all those years ago. Now it was to late.

With a feeling of regret of her bad decisions, Beca finally fell asleep.

Across the hall, Chloe had similar thoughts. Only in her imagination, their kids would've been mini versions of the woman she still loved with all her heart.

Confessing how she had felt, had lifted a weight from her shoulders. And she hoped that it wasn't to late to turn her dreams into reality. Although she knew it would take a lot of time and effort to fix this. Those ten years weren't erased instantly because they had a good conversation. They both needed to work hard to trust each other again.

With that thought in the back of her mind, the redhead fell asleep.
