Chapter 36
Two weeks have passed and the gang is going back to class. Every time Chloe or Beca want to go somewhere one of the boys comes with them or a friend of James or someone from the basketball team, This arrangement is really annoying Beca but she doesn't say anything about it. Beca also tries to hide the fact that she's scared out of her mind.
"Beca's POV"
Chloe, Jesse and I are walking through the hallway until Jesse runs off when he spots Aubrey. Their lockers are next to one another and he pulls out a bouquet of flowers and asks her something. We can hear a squeal and she throws herself at him embracing him tightly. "What was that all about?" Chloe is standing with her back to me which give me the best opportunity to take out something from my bag. "He asked her to prom, even though I think it's way too early." I hear a soft oh but Chloe doesn't turn around. I wrap my arms around her and show her the box. "But… I do want to make an exception for you. Chloe Beale, will you go to prom with me?" The redhead turns around in my arms and I can see her shiny eyes. "I would be honored." She gives me a soft kiss before turning around again escaping from my arms. "What's in the box?" I open it and show her what's inside. "Jesse stole my flower idea so I went for chocolates instead." I flash her a little smile. "Now take them or I'll eat them." She pulls the box from my hands. "No you won't, they're mine." A chuckle escapes my lips. "Yes, but you are mine." I throw her a little wink and walk away. Chloe follows me soon after. "I guess we have the most beautiful dates for prom." I laugh at Jesse's comment. "We do, it's going to be awesome. But one question… when is the prom?" The looks I get make me feel like I'm an alien. "I've never been to school here so I don't know…?" I try to get someone talking. "Right, the prom is in April, right before the vacation. It's on the Friday we have our final basketball game." Jesse gets a frown on his face. "It's going to be a great game Jesse, the team is great this year. You'd be better is you would focus on the game instead of me…" The last part came out a bit harsher then I wanted to. "You're more important Beca, we will…" I cut him off. "No Jesse, I can take care of myself. I don't want us to live in fear because of him. That's what he want Jesse, can't you see that?" I feel a hand on my arm and I look down. "Becs, he just wants to help don't be mad at him." The pleading look in Chloe's eyes makes me back down a bit. "Look, I'm not saying I don't appreciate it and all but can we just agree on not being alone and at least be 2 people together at all time? Instead of being escorted by 5 guys to go the supermarket.?" I can see that Jesse doesn't want to agree but Aubrey whispers something in his ear and he grumbles. "Fine but I still want either me or James to be with you, can we do that?" I sigh. "Sure, I guess I can live with that." The bell ings and we head to class. I'm not paying much attention. I get distracted by a car in the distance. It's not the car that gets my attention but the man inside of it. I clench my fists and Chloe seems to notice "Everything alright?" I nod my head slowly. "Yeah, I think I ate something wrong during lunch." She rubs my leg. "I can ask Aubrey to skip rehearsal later, she'll understand." I shake my head. "No, it will pass." I smile at her. She turns her attention back at the lesson and I try not to look out of the window again.
Chloe's POV
Ever since class Beca has been off. Even Aubrey noticed and held me back for a moment. "Is everything alright with her?" I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know, I don't believe her excuse." Aubrey gives me weird look. "She said she ate something bad for lunch, but I know something else is bothering her." Letting out a sigh we keep walking. "Do you want take some time to talk to her? I think can manage the rehearsal alone." I shake my head. "No, I asked her but she said she would be fine." We keep walking towards the auditorium behind Jesse and Beca.
"What's up with you little one." Fat Amy also noticed Beca's behavior. "Nothing, I just don't feel very well." She tries to cover it up with a smile. "Just tell us what's bothering you, it will make you feel better." Stacie spoke up and everyone nods in agreement. "Fine, if you really want to know… I'm moving to LA." Most expressions are shocked except for mine, which is on the verge of crying. "When… when are you leaving? How long have you known?" My voice breaks and there's nothing I can do to stop it. "A few days, Simon called me. I told him I wanted some time to think." I see a little tear rolling down her cheek. I walk up to her and make her look at me. "Why didn't you tell me?" I wipe away the tear. "Because even though it's the one thing I always wanted I don't want to go. I want to stay here with you Chlo." The rest stays quiet. "I don't want to leave and have you to forget about me." I try to say something but Beca snaps her head to her laptop. "That's it, that's the song I was missing…" Leaving me completely confused she runs to the piano and takes her laptop. She pushes some buttons and looks satisfied when she's done.
Beca's POV
When I'm done I look around and see everyone giving me weird looks. Chloe even looks a weird mix between sad, angry and confused. "I guess I'll show you what I mean instead of trying to explain." I press play and the sounds of our set list for the finals. I place my laptop on the piano and go stand next to Chloe. "We need to talk about this." She whispers before walking over to Aubrey. I feel bad for half lying to her but I had to. I didn't want her to worry about me and Simon did really ask me to come to LA.
"Beca… this is awesome." Aubrey stares at me. "With this we might actually win the competition." The other Bellas clap and cheer. "Chloe, can you find a way to change the choreo a bit so we can use this?" I see her nod. "Great, I guess we are done for today." The group walks out leaving me, Aubrey and Chloe behind. I help them clean up the room so it goes faster. "I know you're mad at me, I should have told you but I…" Chloe cuts me off. "I don't care about you telling me or not." She spats my way. "I am mad because you think I would 'forget about you'." She makes little hooks with her fingers. "I would never stand in the way of your dream, and I will never forget about you. I believe we can make anything work… do you?" I walk up to her and kiss her rather roughly. I pull back and start talking. "I love you Chloe and I know we will be together whatever happens." She smiles at me and kisses me back. We both didn't notice Aubrey leaving the room to text Jesse that the rehearsal finished.
