When Chloe woke up, Beca was gone. Chloe slowly sat up in the bed and ran a hand through her hair with a sigh. She slowly rubbed her temples, her head a little from crying last night. Chloe got up from the bed, grabbing one of Beca's hoodies and put it on before she went into the kitchen. Beca was sitting in the kitchen with her laptop and headphones, putting the final touches on one of her mixes. Chloe made two cups of coffee and placed one in front of Beca. The small girl pulled her headphones off and looked up at Chloe.

"Thanks." She smiled as she took the cup.

"I'm sorry about yesterday…" Chloe said softly, staring into her own coffee cup.

"Don't worry about it, Chlo. It's fine." Beca took a sip of her coffee.

"No, it's not. You barely slept. I can see it on you, Beca…" Chloe sighed. "What happened last night after I fell asleep?" She looked over at Beca as she leaned against the doorframe.

Beca shrugged a little. "I was just thinking. It was nothing."

"Beca, you tensed up when I told you not to leave." Chloe bit her lower lip. "What's going on?"

Beca sighed, letting her eyes focus on the coffee. She couldn't tell Chloe the real reason that she didn't sleep. Beca had spend the night looking at the beautiful redhead in her arms and wondered what would happen if she didn't leave. Would she be able to pull herself together and love Chloe again, or would she just be the failure that everyone expected her to be. "Chloe, I promise that it's nothing. Could you please just let it go?"

Chloe put her hands up in defeat. "Fine. I'll shut up." She quickly finished her coffee. "I'm gonna go to Aubrey's. Call me if you need me." Chloe went into the bedroom and got dressed. On the way out, an "I love you, Becs" slipped out of her mouth and Chloe didn't even realize. Beca however just sat there frozen like a statue, for some reason waiting for Chloe to come back and sit with her and tell her that it was all a huge mistake. But Chloe didn't come back.

After a few hours of Beca feeling sorry for herself and trying to finish her latest mix, she slowly worked up the courage to call Stacie and ask for her help.

"Hey! Becs. How are you?" Stacie asked as soon as she picked up.

"Not great… I need your help. I need you to talk some sense into me." Beca sighed.

"Alright. Lay it on me." Stacie chuckled a little.

"Okay… Yesterday I told Chloe about my plan to move to New York and she got pretty mad. She ran off but came back crying a few hours later. I ended up having to comfort her until she fell asleep… In the middle of her crying, she told me not to go, and I feel like I really shouldn't go. I can't just leave her behind…"

"Beca…" Stacie sighed. She wasn't sure how to react to all this. "Ultimately, it's your choice, but what's keeping you here? You two broke up and the next step of your life is in New York. You can't stay here forever. I know that Chloe is very vulnerable right now, but that's because she's hurt. She will need time to adjust to being away from you after such a long time, but she will heal and she will find someone else and who knows, maybe you'll see eachother again at some point, but right now, I think that the best move for you is to find an apartment in New York and start packing your stuff."

"But what if I can't forget her? What if I just end up shutting everyone around me out again?" Beca ran a hand through her hair.

"If I have to come to New York and kick your ass, I will do it. I don't care how famous you get."

"Thanks Stace." Beca chuckled a little. "You're probably right. I need to do this and it's not like I'll never see her again. There will always be Bellas reunions and stuff." She shrugged. "Really, thank you, Stacie." Beca said softly. She heard the door open, signalling that Chloe was home again. "Okay, I need to go, bye." Beca told Stacie before she quickly hung up, glancing over at the door. "Why are you back already?" Beca raised an eyebrow at Chloe.

"I shouldn't have left." Chloe pulled Beca into a hug against her will. "Considering all that has happened these last few days, I shouldn't just leave like that. I'm so sorry, Becs…" She whispered the apology.

"Hey, Chlo… It's fine. I'm okay." Beca said, pulling away from Chloe. It hurt, but she knew that she need to create space between them before she ended up doing something that she would regret.

"Are you still moving to New York?" Chloe asked a little defeated as she watched Beca make two cups of coffee.

"Yeah." Beca said, trying not to seem tired by the idea. The truth was, she didn't really want to move because moving meant leaving Chloe behind and Beca wasn't really sure that was something that she wanted to do. Beca kept telling herself that no dream comes without sacrifices, but she didn't even believe herself. "I actually found an apartment today…" She said as she handed Chloe a cup of coffee

"Oh… When are you moving?" Chloe asked, quickly accepting the coffee.

"In three days…" Beca looked down into her cup as if the coffee would smack some sense into her.

"That's… Soon…" Chloe said softly. She honestly wasn't ready for Beca to just leave her in a few days. Chloe didn't even know if she would see her again.

"I know, but it's seriously the perfect apartment for me and I already said yes." Beca walked into the bedroom to start packing her things.

Chloe sat down on the couch, in an almost chocklike state. She didn't understand how it could be this easy for Beca to just pack her things and leave after so long together. Chloe was annoyed that instead of trying to fix things, Beca just ran away. It was something that the younger girl had always done.

Soon after they had started dating, Beca became convinced that it was all just a prank on her, broke up with Chloe and avoided the redhead for almost a month. Chloe was devastated when it happened, but atleast Beca didn't pack her things and move halfway across the country just to get away from her.


After dinner, they had both sat down on the couch, just staring at the tv. Chloe had put on a movie but none of them had noticed anything going on in it. They had been busy glancing over at each other whenever the other person wasn't looking. They weren't happy about the idea of Beca leave in just a few days. Chloe wanted to look at Beca as much as she could before she left and Beca felt the same way, but they were scared. Scared to tell eachother. Scared to be rejected again. Scared that they would lose each other forever when Beca got on that plane. Chloe looked over at Beca, making eye contact with Beca.

"So this is it? This is the end of us?" Chloe asked softly.

"Yeah…" Beca nodded. She didn't want to leave Chloe, but Beca knew that this was her shot.

"I'm gonna miss you." Chloe whispered, moving closer to Beca.

"I'm gonna miss you too, Chlo." Beca smiled a little, looking up at Chloe. Her eyes flicked down to Chloe's lips and watched as they got closer to her own. "Chloe… This is a terrible idea." Beca whispered, but kept leaning in slowly.

"I know." Chloe whispered before she close the space between them, slowly moving her lips against Beca's. She ran her hand up Beca's side and let it rest on her cheek.

Beca let her hands fall to Chloe's waist, pulling her closer until the redhead was straddling her. When Beca pulled away for air, she look up into Chloe's eyes. "This is so wrong." She said softly, running her thumb over Chloe's cheek.

Chloe just nodded before she leaned in and kissed Beca again. She wanted to stop. Wanted to put some distance between them, but kissing Beca had always been her favourite thing in the world. Chloe knew that this was wrong. They both did, but none of them really made an effort to stop. Chloe knew that this would probably be the last time that she got to kiss Beca, so she wanted to make the most of it. Chloe tangled her hands in Beca's hair, gently pulling her head back. She leaned down and kissed Beca's neck.

Beca closed her eyes and let out a soft moan. All of her plans about creating distance and staying away from Chloe were gone from her mind. Beca felt Chloe's lips move up her neck, to her jaw and then back to lips. Beca's hands gripped onto Chloe's hips, trying to pull her even closer as she deepened the kiss.

Chloe slowly pulled away, a little out of breath. "Beca…" She whispered. "We need to talk about this." She stood up, moving off Beca's lap. "This is wrong." She took a deep breath and sat down next to Beca again.

"Yeah…" Beca nodded slowly. "But I don't want to stop…"

"I don't want to stop either." Chloe looked over at her. "But this is just gonna make the next few days so much harder." She shook her head a little. "I already don't really want you to leave."

"I just really want these last few days with you, Chloe." Beca said softly. "I just want something other than I fight to remember us by." She took Chloe's hand.

"Okay…" Chloe smiled a little. She leaned forward and kissed Beca again.

Beca smiled against Chloe's lips. She pulled away, wanting to look at Chloe. "You're so beautiful." She whispered.

Chloe leaned forward and kissed Beca again, trying to get her to shut up.

Beca pulled away again. "What a nice way to tell me to shut up." She chuckled a little. "C'mon, let's just go to bed. I have a lot to do tomorrow." Beca stood up.

Chloe nodded a little as she stood up. She wasn't ready to stop kissing Beca yet so she just followed her into the bedroom. They both undressed, trying not to look at each other, before they laid down. Chloe snuggled close to Beca, resting her head on the small girls chest. She draped her arm over Beca's stomach. Chloe looked up at Beca with a small smile.

Beca smiled softly at her. She leaned down and kissed Chloe softly.

Chloe crawled on top of Beca, straddling her hips. She leaned down and kissed Beca deeply.

Beca rested her hands on Chloe's hips.

Chloe kissed down Beca's neck, gently biting a little.

"Chlo…" Beca moaned softly.

Chloe stopped and pulled away looking down at Beca. She was afraid that the brunette was already regretting it.

"Please don't stop." Beca whispered. She ran her hand up Chloe's side, tangling it in her hair.

Chloe smiled softly. She leaned down and kissed Beca again. When she kissed Beca, the whole world just disappeared around Chloe and she never wanted to be anywhere else. Chloe found out the first time that she kissed Beca. It was shortly after Aubrey had graduated and Chloe was on her last year for the second time, at first she wasn't really sure why she had failed Russian Lit. It wasn't her favourite subject, but she knew stuff, she got good grades, so how did she fail her exam? Chloe had asked herself over and over until the night when she kissed Beca, the moment their lips found each others, she knew that this was it, this was everything that she had waited for and this was everything that she ever wanted and she would do whatever it took to stay there with Beca.


Chloe had been dancing for way too long now. She didn't know how long, but too many people around her had come and gone in the time that she had been dancing. The guys and girls here were alright, but a certain small brunette had been stuck in her head for too long now. The girl had never left her head, not since they met at the activities fair. Chloe never really cared whenever Aubrey would express her hatred for Beca, she would just nod and try to steer the conversation in a different direction. Chloe looked around, annoyed by the fact that Beca was nowhere to be found, Chloe had seen her arrive with Jesse, but hadn't seen either of them since then. She wanted to hate Jesse for stealing Beca, she really did, but he was just such a nice guy. Since Aubrey left, Chloe had invited Beca to come live with her a little off campus and Beca had accepted quickly. Jesse had been around their apartment a few times now and Chloe hated that he took such good care of Beca, she hated that he was such a nice guy. If he had just been a dick, it would have been easier to hate him. But that was the thing, she didn't hate Jesse, she hated all the things that he did, how he would leave small notes around the apartment for Beca to find whenever he had early classes, she hated how he would get up whenever Chloe and Beca had early classes just to make them coffee and then go back to sleep, but most of all, she hated that he was the one who got to lay down next to Beca when the day was over. Chloe wanted to be the one to hold Beca at night, she wanted to be the one who made her coffee early in the morning and the one who got to love Beca and tell her. Chloe looked around the big house until she finally spotted Beca out in the yard with Jesse of course. She left the dancefloor and went out to them.

"Hey, Becs, can I steal you for a minute?" Chloe asked with a smile.

"Yeah, of course. I didn't know that you were here." Beca pulled Chloe into a hug before they went inside the house. "So, what's up, Chlo?" She smiled

Chloe took a deep breath. "I don't want Jesse around the apartment anymore…" She looked over at Beca. "I need privacy to study and I can't do that if he's always there."

"I get it." Beca nodded. "You don't have to explain, Chlo. I've actually been thinking about breaking up with him… He's just too sweet and clingy." Beca smiled a little. "I rushed into that relationship because I thought that it was right, but now, after almost two years, it just feels wrong." She shrugged.

"Bec… Are you okay with this? I didn't mean for you to breakup with him… I just… Needed space I guess."

"Don't worry about it. I've actually been thinking about this for a long time now." Beca pulled Chloe into a hug. She could see that the older girl felt like she was breaking them up. "I've been neglecting Bella's practice and you a little too much." Beca whispered.

Chloe smiled at Beca when she pulled away from the hug.

"I'm gonna go talk to him… Meet you inside?" Beca smiled.

"Sure." Chloe nodded. She walked into the house. Chloe sat down next to the window and looked over at Beca and Jesse.

"Hey, Jesse, can we talk?" Beca bit down on her lower lip.

"Yeah, of course Becs! Is everything alright?" He tried to wrap his arm around her waist, but she quickly moved away.

"We need to break up." Beca said, looking down at her hands.

"What? Why?" Jesse frowned. "Is this about Chloe? I've never liked how close you two are."

"No, Jesse, stop it. This has nothing to do with Chloe. This is about us." Beca sighed. She knew that was a lie. Of course it was about Chloe. It had always been about Chloe. Ever since they met, Beca had wanted to be with Chloe but she never tried, because why would Chloe be interested in someone like her? So she went for Jesse. It was safe and it was nice, but safe and nice wasn't what Beca wanted anymore. She wanted adventure, she wanted something new, she wanted Chloe.

"Beca" Jesse sighed. "I've seen how you look at her. Do something about it."

Beca nodded a little. "Thank you for understanding."

Jesse pulled Beca into a hug and placed a kiss on her cheek. "Promise that you'll still watch movies with me?"

"Dude, no" Beca laughed. "I only did it for you. Make Benji watch them with you."

"Fine." Jesse crossed his arms, pretending to be hurt. "Go get your girl." He smiled.

"Again, thank you Jesse." Beca smiled softly before she went inside to find Chloe.

"Well, that didn't really look like a breakup." The redhead came up behind her. "You sure that he knows that you broke up with him?" She chuckled a little.

"Yeah." Beca nodded. "He knows." Knows that Beca is in love with Chloe. He's known for a long time. It wasn't that hard to notice the way Beca lit up once Chloe entered a room, the way she would smile whenever someone mentioned the redhead.

"We have a Bella's meeting tomorrow, so we should probably get home and get some sleep." Chloe smiled.

Beca just nodded and followed Chloe out.

Soon after Beca had gone to bed, she felt Chloe lay down next to her. The redhead had her own bed, but preferred to sleep next to Beca whenever Jesse weren't there. Chloe slipped an arm over Beca's stomach and pulled her close. She buried her face in the back of Beca's neck.

"Are you okay, Becs?" Chloe whispered as she felt Beca's shoulders tense up.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Beca turned to face Chloe.

"I'm sorry about Jesse." Chloe reached out and stroked Beca's cheek.

"Don't be. I think that I've been looking for an excuse to break up with him for a long time. We haven't really been a couple the last four months." Beca looked into Chloe's eyes.

"So you haven't…"

"No." Beca shook her head a little. "We haven't had sex in four months."

"Why not?" Chloe asked softly. She was afraid that it was her fault. She never let Beca and Jesse have the apartment to them self, mostly because she hated the thought that Beca would be intimate with anyone. Chloe wanted Beca all to herself.

Beca shrugged. "It just always felt wrong. I was never really ready or in the mood for anything. It's not like I didn't try." She sighed. "I really tried…" Beca didn't notice the tears on her cheeks until Chloe reached up and wiped them away.

"Beca, shhhh. It's okay." Chloe pulled Beca into a hug. "I've got you, Beca." She placed a kiss on the top of the brunette's head. After a while, Chloe felt Beca's breathing steady and heard a slight snore from her. Chloe stayed awake for a little longer, making sure that Beca was asleep.


"Are you sure that this is what you want?" Chloe asked softly as she took Beca's bags from the car and onto the curb in front of the airport.

"Yeah…" Beca nodded. "I have to do this." She grabbed her bags from Chloe.

Chloe nodded a little and helped Beca inside. "So, this is it…" She said softly.

"It is." Beca looked down at the floor.

"I'm gonna miss you, Becs." Chloe gave Beca a sweet kiss before the brunette walked through the gates to board her plane. She didn't even notice that she was crying before a man next to her handed her a piece of paper.

"You seem like you could use a drink and someone to talk to." He chuckled a little.

Chloe accepted the paper and quickly dried her tears. She looked over at him and smiled a little. Chloe had to admit that he didn't look terrible. "If I had a choice, I'd probably take the drink instead of the talk." She ran a hand through her hair.

"So, is your girlfriend going away for a long time?" He asked with a small smile and what Chloe thought sounded like hope in his voice.

"Uhm, she's actually not my girlfriend. We broke up a week ago and she just needed someone to drive her here. She's going to New York to live out her dreams."

"And she's just leaving you behind? Wow, you're way too beautiful to be crying alone in an airport." He stepped a little closer to her.

"Well, thank you." Chloe glanced down at her own hands for a second. "So, about that drink. I believe that you were about to buy me one?" She laughed a little.

"You're right. I was." He smiled. "I'm Chicago."
