"Sup Becaw!?" Jesse asked as he sat beside his friend at the lunch table. "Have you seen the hot redhead in Grandel's class yet?" Beca scoffed and Jesse looked at her confused. "What? You don't think she's hot?" He looked over to the redhead that just walked into the cafeteria then back to Beca. "She looks exactly like your type." He smirked and Beca rolled her eyes.
"Oh my God! What the hell is Chloe doing here?!" Stacey, Beca's best friend, joined the table. Jesse's eyes widened in realization.
"That's Chloe!?" He almost yelled.
"Shut up, she'll hear you!" Beca chided. "And yes that is Chloe, the girl who stole my heart then put it into a meat grinder."
"Graphic Becs." Stacey replied, making a face. "What is she doing here anyway?" She asked and Beca sighed, stealing a glance at the redhead who was also looking at her.
"Apparently, she's going to be subbing all of Grandel's classes for the rest of the year since she's having trouble with her pregnancy."
"Oh shit. That means you'll be spending most of your time with her."
"Sorry Becs, but maybe this is a good thing."
"How could it possibly be a good thing?" She asked.
"Maybe you should clear the air, let her explain what happened."
"I know what happened, Stacey." Beca said with her jaw tightened as memories flooded her mind. "I saw it with my own eyes."
"Yeah, but maybe there's more to the story. You two are so good together and I don't see how she could do that to you." Chloe said I didn't know what really happened…but that doesn't change what I saw. Beca thought then shook her head.
"It doesn't matter anyway, I'm over it, so I don't really care."
"Right." Jesse replied sarcastically. He and Stacey shared a look letting each other know neither believed her.
Chloe was sitting in the classroom working on her homework when Beca walked in. It was the Mrs. Grandel's free hour and she went home to each lunch with her three year old daughter. Chloe was to observe her for the rest of the week before taking over her classes; she wanted to make sure her students were in good hands. Beca could feel that Chloe's eyes on her as she moved around the desk, gathering papers she would have to grade.
"Can we talk?" Chloe asked softly, the brunette had her back to her.
"No." She answered firmly, without turning around. Chloe sighed, she needed a way to get through to Beca but she also knew she couldn't push too much.
"Okay, we won't talk but please just listen for a minute." Chloe tried keeping her voice strong but Beca could hear it shake a bit. "I love you and I didn't cheat on you. I could never do that to you even if you don't believe me. So when you're ready to hear what really happened I'll tell you. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm not giving up on us." She finished quietly. Beca stood there leaning against the desk with her head hanging low on her chest. God I want to believe her. A tear fell as Beca tried to process what was said. She so badly wanted everything to go back to the way it was but as much as she tried she couldn't get the image out of her head. She rubbed her face erasing the vulnerability away before facing Chloe with a hard face.
"You should." Was all that Beca said before leaving the room. Chloe let the tears fall when she heard the door shut, hoping there was still a chance. She would just have to prove to Beca how much she meant to her.
Ten months ago…
They were at Chloe's apartment lying in bed after their first time together. Chloe smiled as Beca just finished telling her how eight year old Beca got the scar that was on her right knee. The brunette was lying on her stomach and Chloe was on her side running her hands across her back until they reached the scar that was just below and went into her hairline. "What about this one?"
"I was in a car wreck with my mom a few years ago." Beca turned resting her head on her arms facing Chloe.
"Is that how…" Chloe trailed off, knowing that Beca's mom had passed away a few years ago.
"Yeah, a drunk driver ran a red light and t-boned us. She took the impact on her side, they said she died instantly."
"I'm so sorry baby." Chloe said as she wiped the tear that escaped Beca's eyes.
"It's okay, I mean it was rough for me at first but my dad wouldn't let me give up. I had to have surgery to reduce the swelling in my brain and I ended up repeating my freshman year because of it." Beca explained, rolling over to her side. "I was two classes short of graduating this year."
"They wouldn't let you take summer classes?"
"They would have but I wanted to play softball another year. I only had one invite to play at the college level and it was some small school. I was hoping to get a scholarship."
"You'll get one, I know it."
"Maybe, but you'll have to come to all my games, you seem to be my good luck charm. I'm only able to hit home runs when you're there." She said making Chloe smile and move towards her.
"Then I'll be there." She whispered then kissed Beca, pushing her onto her back. I'm falling in love with this girl. Chloe thought and smiled into the kiss before they got lost into each other again.
A/N: I know the updates are far and in between right now but I don't have a lot of time to write and I have a few other stories going on. But I would really love to hear what everyone thinks of this so far. Please leave a review letting me know.
