Beca woke up the next morning with a frown on her face. She sighed and moved her arm to wrap it around Chloe only to find the space empty. Her frown deepened and she sat with a groan. "I can tell it's gonna be a shitty day already." She said to herself. She rolled out of bed and started picking clothes out for the day as Chloe walked into the room.

"Oh! You're up!" Chloe said as she wrapped her arms around Beca. "Good morning."

Beca sighed and moved out of Chloe's arms. "Good morning." She said blandly.

Chloe frowned and looked at Beca. "Everything okay baby?"

"Yes Chloe I'm fine.." Beca said in annoyance. "I'm gonna go take a shower."

Chloe watched as Beca walked away and sighed. "Someone needs some cheering up.." She whispered.

Beca walked into the kitchen a half an hour later and made herself a cup of coffee. She looked at Riley and gave her a small smile. "Hey, did you sleep okay?"

Riley nodded. "Yeah I had a dream that you, me, and Chloe moved to LA together!"

Beca sipped her coffee and nodded. "Cool dream, did you eat or do you need me to make breakfast?"

Riley slowly looked at Chloe with a frown at Beca's lack of enthusiasm. "Chloe cooked, it's pretty good! She let me help with the pancakes and we made you some special ones!" She grabbed a plate and handed it to Beca, the pancakes were in the shape headphones.

Beca looked at the pancakes and smiled. "Thanks you guys.."

"Riley why don't you go upstairs and make sure you have everything ready for school." Chloe said as she looked at Beca.

"That sounds like a good idea Chloe." Riley waved to Beca and ran out of the kitchen and up the steps.

Chloe sat down next to Beca and slowly put her hand on top of Beca's. "Babe... Are you okay?"

Beca rolled her eyes and looked at Chloe. "Are you okay? You keep fucking asking me if I'm okay and I've told you I'm fine, can you just back the hell off?"

Chloe moved her hand. "No Beca I can't back the hell off, something is bothering you and I'm not just gonna ignore it because you want me to. Is this about everything that happened last night Beca?"

"Chloe.. I'm telling you this because I love you. Leave me alone!" Beca said as she stood up. She grabbed her jacket and walked out the front door, leaving a confused and hurt Chloe wondering what just happened.


"Is Beca okay?" Riley asked as Chloe pulled up to her school.

Chloe nodded. "Yeah, she just needed some alone time ."

"I heard her yell at you.."

Chloe sighed and looked at Riley. "She's just going through something right now, she's having a bad day. Am I picking you up from school today or are you going to your friends house again?"

Riley unbuckled her seat belt and smiled. "I'm going to my friends house, but her mom can't drive me home so you'll have to pick me up from there at five-thirty."

Chloe nodded. "Okay, Beca knows the address?"

"Yeah."

Chloe got out of the car and opened the door for Riley. "Alright then kiddo have a good day at school, be good, and I'll see you at five-thirty."

Riley smiled and hugged Chloe tightly. "Thank you for being here Chloe."

Chloe smiled and hugged Riley back. "Anytime Ry." Chloe watched as Riley walked into the building and then she drove off in the direction of her school, hoping Beca would be there. As soon as Chloe walked into the school building Aubrey was by next to her and was pulling her off to the side. "Okay, good morning Bree."

"What's going on with Beca?" Aubrey asked urgently.

Chloe looked around. "Is Beca here? Have you seen her?"

Aubrey nodded. "Yes I've seen her Chloe now tell me what the hell is going on!"

"If I could I would, she just woke up with a bad mood and she left me and Riley this morning... She just walked out the door after telling me to leave her alone."

Aubrey frowned. "That's weird, did anything happen yesterday that would send her spiraling out of control again?"

Chloe sighed. "Something happened last night.. she found out some things about her father, it's not my place to tell but she was pretty upset. I calmed her down and we went to be bed but I guess the anger is still there.."

Aubrey nodded. "We need to get her back to normal fast because bad Beca isn't good.."

"Where is she?"

Aubrey sighed. "She's in the principles' office talking with Brad's mom again... I'm worried about that situation."

Chloe nodded and looked in the direction of the office. "We should walk by and see if she's okay."

"Alright, but don't make me late for class."


"She isn't even sorry for what she did to my son!" Brad's mom said angrily.

Beca shrugged. "I'm really not, I'd do it again and again because he deserves it. Actually he deserves much more."

Principal Evans looked at Beca with wide eyes. "Beca!"

Beca folded her and leaned back into the chair with shrug. "I'm the bad guy for being honest? Mrs. Coleman you can walk around this school and ask every single person in this building what they think of Brad and I promise you it won't be good."

Brad's mom scoffed angrily. "I'm sure I could say the same about you..."

"I thought so too, but I've come to learn that the people of this school like me a lot because I'm the only one with big enough balls to stand up to Brad."

Brad's mom stood up and looked at Beca. "I'm pressing charges and that's my final answer."

Beca shrugged. "Do what you want." Beca looked to the door and saw Chloe and Aubrey standing there looking at her with disappointment, she rolled her eyes and looked at Principal Evans. "Can I be excused for a moment?"

"We need to resolve this so I'd like it if you staye-"

Beca stood up. "It'll only be a minute..." She gave the principal a small smile and walked out the door. "What are you doing here Chloe?"

"Looking for you, why the hell did you just up and leave this morning?"

Beca shrugged. "I needed space and some time alone.."

"You left Riley and I, but more importantly Riley! She didn't know what the hell was going on."

Beca sighed. "I know it was wrong of me to go but I knew you'd take of Riley."

Chloe rolled her eyes. "Really Beca? Yo-"

"What's going on with you Bec?" Aubrey said cutting in before Chloe did anything to upset Beca even more.

Beca focused on the ground and shrugged. "Just not feeling life right now?"

"Why? You're alive, you're healthy, you have an amazing girlfriend who loves you, friends who care about you, a sister who adores you... Let's us be here for you Beca."

Beca looked at Aubrey with a small smile. "I know what I have Bree and I don't want to lose it but I just want to be alone right now.." She looked at Chloe who was looking back at her with sad eyes. "I'll see you later."

"Wait!" Chloe called out as Beca went to open the principals' office door. "Can you at least apologize to Mrs. Coleman? We don't need her on your back... think about Riley."

Beca nodded. "You're right.. I'll apologize." She looked at Aubrey and Chloe and nodded before walking back into the office. "Principal Evans I'm sorry for walking out, I just needed a minute."

"I hope you've returned with a better attitude Beca."

Beca clenched her fist as she sat down but nodded. "I-I have..." She looked at Mrs. Coleman and gave her a tight lipped smile. "I want to let you know that I am sorry, what I did to your son was wrong and I know I've hurt him deeply so I'm apologizing to you because I know what I did was wrong. I'd really appreciate it if you gave me one last chance by not pressing charges."

Mrs. Coleman studied Beca face and frowned. "I don't know if I believe you."

"Listen you're getting an apology out of me, that never happens... Can you just accept it and we go our separate ways? I'm sure you're tired of seeing my face so let's end this, I'll stay clear of your son and that'll be that."

Mrs. Coleman sighed but nodded. "Fine Beca but this is it, next time you're going down."

"There won't be a next time."

Mrs. Coleman nodded stiffly at Beca and the principal and walked out of the office. Principal Evans looked at Beca with a small smile. "Well I thought that was going to go completely different, well done Beca."

Beca shrugged. "I just said what she wanted to hear, I'm not sorry and if he approaches me I'm kicking his ass."

Principal Evans sighed. "Beca-"

"Can I go, nothing you say can change how I feel and class started five minutes ago.."

He sighed and nodded. "You're dismissed."


It was now lunch time and Chloe had spent the past five minutes looking around for Beca and waiting for her to come to the lunchroom. Aubrey rolled her eyes as Chloe once again picked her head up and looked all throughout the lunchroom for her girlfriend. "Chloe I know you're worried about Beca but doing this isn't doing anything but stressing you out. Eat and wait okay? Lunch started five minutes ago, she'll be here."

Chloe nodded and slowly started eating her food.

"Hey guys!" Kate said excitedly. "Chlo what's wrong?" Kate asked seeing the saddened look on Chloe's face.

Chloe shrugged and looked up at Kate. "Beca's going through something and she's shutting me out..."

"Oh... Well I think I know of something that will brighten up your day!" Kate said with excitement once again.

Chloe gave Kate a small smile but shook her head. "I doubt it.."

"Really, so hearing that my dad finally proposed to your aunt wouldn't make you happy?"

Chloe's eyes widened and she gave a real smile for the first time that day. "Seriously?!"

Kate nodded. "He just did it and texted me as soon as she said yes!"

"Oh my god! Wow this is amazing!" Chloe stood up and hugged Kate. "We're officially gonna be family now!"

Kate grinned. "I know, even though we practically are already."

Aubrey looked at the two of them with smiles. "Tell them I said congrats."

"Will do." Kate's phone started buzzing and she looked down with a grin. "It's my dad calling."

Chloe nodded. "You should go outside the lunchroom so you can hear better, it's really loud in here."

"Yeah, I'll be back!"


Beca sat down with a sigh and pulled out her laptop. "Beca?"

Beca rolled her eyes and was ready to yell at whoever was disrupting her. She pulled off her headphones and turned only to see Stacie standing nearby looking a little nervous. "Stacie? Hey.."

"What are you doing in here?"

Beca shrugged. "Needed to be alone.. how bout you?"

"I've been eating in here since we stopped talking.."

Beca nodded. "We can uh hang right now if you want... it's not a big deal right now."

Stacie sat next to Beca and looked at her. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong.."

Stacie folded her arms and looked at Beca sternly. "Don't even.. what's up?"

Beca sighed. "Do you remember the lady from the diner? Katherine?"

Stacie nodded. "Of course I do, I still eat there occasionally."

"I've recently come back into contact with her and well she told me things about my dad, like how she's helping him and he's bee with her trying to recover the whole time! Not to mention my fucking uncle was suppose to come and take care of Riley and I but never did and only send us Christmas cards.. I'm just so fucking pissed."

Stacie nodded and put her hand on Beca's shoulder to comfort her. "What you need to do instead of shutting everyone out, which I know you are, is to talk about it.. Just lay it all there, and I mean you should do that with Chloe.. You should be here with Chloe, not me."

"It's not like I knew you'd be here Stacie! I was going to the lunchroom and I saw Chloe looking so happy and I didn't want to ruin that so I came here."

Stacie sighed. "Don't you think that you not showing up at all is gonna ruin her mood?"

Beca shrugged. "I didn't think about that.."

"You should go.. there is still ten minutes of lunch left, go see your girl."

Beca nodded and hugged Stacie. "Thank you.. You're amazing."

Stacie nodded and watched as Beca ran out of the room. "Not amazing enough for you.." She whispered to herself.


Beca ran into the lunch and quickly ran to the table Chloe was sitting at. Chloe looked up seeing Beca all out of breath and frowned. "Beca?"

Beca wordlessly walked up to Chloe and wrapped her arms around her, pulling her into a deep kiss. "I love you Chloe and I'm sorry if I'm fucking up your day."

Chloe hugged Beca tightly. "I need you to talk to me."

Beca nodded. "I need you."

Aubrey smiled and looked at Chloe. "I'm gonna give you two some space." She mouthed to Chloe who nodded at her.

"Baby what's going on in that head of yours?"

Beca sighed. "I'm so angry, I just.. I feel the way I felt when my grandma died. I can't control it and I feel myself losing it again."

"I don't know the whole story of what happened back then Bec but I'm here now and I'm gonna be by your side."

Beca shut her eyes tightly as she felt tears starting to form. "Do you promise?"

Chloe kissed the top of Beca's head and nodded. "I promise Beca... Is everything okay concerning Brad's mom?"

"Yeah, she's giving me one last chance."

Chloe smiled and nodded. "See there goes some good news, I just found out some good news myself."

Beca let go of Chloe and sat down. "Oh yeah? What?"

"My aunt Alice just got engaged!" Chloe said with a grin.

Beca smiled and hugged Chloe. "That's amazing! I know how much she wanted to."

"Yeah, she called me not too long ago." Chloe said smiling.

Beca nodded and looked at Chloe. "You'd like to get married one day right?"

Chloe looked at Beca a little shocked but nodded. "Of course, would you?"

"I didn't think so, but lately I've been thinking it wouldn't be such a bad thing.."

Chloe grinned and grabbed Beca's hand. "Have I been making you think you want to marry me?"

"I guess.. I just really love you. I've always believed in having soulmates but once my life turned to shit, the idea of marriage seemed unreal.."

Chloe kissed Beca gently and smiled. "Well I would definitely want to get married to you."

Beca smiled. "Even through all my bullshit?"

"I believe the term is for better or worse."

Beca grinned and hugged Chloe. "I'm gonna try and change my attitude."

Chloe nodded. "I know you can, you already are and we'll talk after school when we get to your house."

"Okay, we should probably start heading to class, the bells about to ring." Beca said looking up at the clock.

Chloe stood up and stretched. "Yeah let's go." Chloe looked as Beca started walking and frowned. "Beca what's wrong?"

Beca slowly turned to Chloe. "Nothing, I'm fine."

Chloe rolled her eyes. "Try again, the truth this time.."

Beca sighed. "My legs are feeling a little tingly, it must've been from how much walking I've been doing."

"Maybe we should get you to the nurses office and you should go home."

Beca shook her head. "I'll be okay babe, I've three more classes, I'll survive."

"Okay, but tell me if you start hurting."

Beca nodded and grabbed Chloe's hand as they started walking to class. "Of course."


They managed to make it to class, but were five minutes late. "Ms. Beale, Ms. Mitchell you two are late."

Beca eased into her seat and rolled her eyes. "You don't say."

"Excuse me?"

Beca scoffed. "You heard me, you don't always have to make it known that someone is late.. I'm sure the person knows."

"I think you need to watch your attitude Beca!"

Beca slammed her hand on the table. "And I think all of you teachers need to get off of my fu-"

"Mrs. Archer!" Chloe said standing up before Beca could finish her sentence. "I apologize for our lateness, as you know there was a car accident a few months ago that left Beca's legs almost useless and she's having a bad day with them, so I apologize on behalf of her."

Mrs. Archer nodded, remembering how Beca walked in the class in sat down. "Okay, But I will not tolerate that Beca if there is something bothering you, you can come and talk to me privately."

Beca rolled her eyes. "Gee thanks."

Chloe just looked at Mrs. Archer and gave her the best Chloe Beale he could muster, silently asking her to let it go. She said a silent prayer as the teacher sighed and started going over the objectives. "Beca, remember what we talked about."

"She pissed me off Chloe."

Chloe sighed. "She just wanted to know why we were late."

"No, she made a statement telling us we were late as if we didn't already know. I don't need a fucking reminder that my legs are feeling like shit right now." Beca whisper yelled.

Chloe rubbed Beca's leg. "Is it hurting?"

Beca shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "Not really it just feels weird.."

"Maybe we should take you to the hospital."

Beca shook her head. "Not necessary, I've just gotta make it through the rest of the school day and get home and take the pain meds the doctor prescribed. He said it was in case of any pain, I think he meant this."

Chloe nodded. "Okay, but if it get's worse throughout the day I'm taking you no matter what you say. Who's in your next class? Anybody in here?"

Beca nodded and pointed out a girl a couple rows over. "She is, we talk sometimes.. Why?"

"She's gonna help you get to your next class and then Bree will help you get to your last class since you guys are in the same one, I've already texted her."

"Fine, but I'll be fine on m-" Seeing Chloe's face she stopped. "Okay, you're right I need help, thank you. Her name is Emily."

Chloe smiled and got Emily's attention. She quickly wrote something down on a piece of paper and held it up. Hey Emily, Beca told me you guys talk a bit and I was wondering if you could help Beca get to the next class, her legs aren't doing to good.

Emily smiled at Chloe and nodded before turning her attention back to the board. Chloe looked at Beca with a smile. "You're good to go, and I'll of course be your escort out of the building."

Beca smirked. "I guess the saying is true, save the best for last."


Chloe made her way to Beca's last class and frowned when she heard a commotion in the room. "Ms. Mitchell please calm down!"

"I am fucking calm! Just let me go home!"

Chloe stuck her head in the door and saw Beca looking at her teacher with angry eyes, Aubrey holding Beca down in her seat, and the teacher looking at Beca sternly with his arms folded. "What is going on?"

The teacher looked over at Chloe. "Is there something I can help you with?"

Chloe nodded. "I'm here because school is over and I'm Beca's ride... I'm also her girlfriend and I'd like to know what is going on."

"I noticed Beca was off today and she seemed to be in pain, I simply questioned her and offered to call her parents so I know that she makes it home safely."

Beca looked at him and talked through gritted teeth. "I said I was fine and that I didn't need you to help me."

Chloe gave the teacher a small. "Thank you, but I'll take it from here." She walked to Beca and looked at her. "Are you feeling worse?"

"I'm fine.."

Chloe sighed. "Beca I think you should go to the ho-"

"Babe I'm good, nothing more than a few tingles and numbness."

Chloe grabbed Beca's hands and shook her head. "I need you to stop being so stubborn Beca something could be wrong... I'm taking you to the hospital."

Beca took a few deep breaths before she snapped on Chloe and nodded. "Fine, but you'll see that the doctor is going to say I should take my meds."

Chloe nodded. "Okay, we'll see if he says that." She looked up at the teacher. "Thank you for being concerned but we're gonna leave now."

He nodded. "Okay I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your day."

They walked out of the building and Aubrey smiled at them. "I gotta get home, but let me know how things go okay?"

Chloe nodded. "Of course, thanks for your help Bree."

Aubrey smiled and hugged Beca and Chloe. "No problem, see you guys."

Chloe drove into the hospital parking lot twenty minutes later and looked at Beca with a small smile. "Here's to hoping you only need to to take your meds."

Beca nodded. "I'm fine.. and I mean it." She leaned over and kissed Chloe. "Thanks for caring about me."

Chloe grinned. "I'm suppose to care about you, I love you."

"And I love you too."

Chloe got out the car and helped Beca into the hospital, a half an hour later they were in a room waiting for the doctor to come in. "Well if it isn't two of my favorite patients."

Both Chloe and Beca smiled at him. "Hey Doctor T." They both said.

"I understand you are having some leg trouble Beca?"

Beca sighed and nodded. "Yeah, it's been little tingles here and there these past few days but today it feels much more intense. I'm sure I just need to take my medicine though right?"

Dr. T sat down in front of Beca with a sigh. "It could be more serious than that Beca."

Beca frowned. "What the hell do you mean?"

"There could be some nerve damage.."

Beca's eyes widened. "Nerve damage?! Shouldn't you have seen that months ago when the accident happened, before I went threw those months of therapy?"

"Calm down Beca I didn't say you had nerve damage I'm just saying it's a possibility, you could just need some rest and more therapy, we'll keep our fingers crossed." He stood up and straighten his coat. "I'm gonna go set up an ex-ray, you two sit tight." He walked out the room with a small smile.

"Fuck this.." Beca said with a sigh. "I am so tired of all this bull shit!"

Chloe grabbed Beca's hand. "Hey, no matter what it is we're gonna work through it, whether it be nerve damage or you needing more therapy, I'll be here with you."

Beca nodded and tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill out. "Thank you."

Doctor walked back in the room with a nurse and a wheelchair. "We're all set."
