Chapter 13: Heartbreak [ part two]

After battling in her mind Chloe decides to come clean. Whereas Stacie catches her insecurities she place her hand on Chloe's knee tries to assure her. Chloe looks into her eyes nods slightly, sit straight while release a long breath.

"I want to help her Stacie. I want to make sure she is alright and she will be fine. I know she made it clear she don't want me or need me but that doesn't mean I can't help her. I will help her I'll act like behind the scene crew without anyone knowing and I promise I'll step aside when I know she 'll be fine. I'll leave her alone. " Chloe says in tone like she made her decision and no one going to change it.

"It's..." Stacie is very stunned by Chloe's little speech not sure what to say.

"Creepy? I know..." Chloe completes Stacie's sentence, falls her gaze on floor suddenly.

"No. That's not what I mean, but why are you doing this?" Stacie asks her. Chloe looks back in Stacie's eyes all she can see is little confusion and pure curiosity. Chloe smiles lightly and replies quickly, " because I love her." One tear slide down on her cheeks.

"And what are you going to do after that?" Stacie asks. Stacie is little concerned for her friend now.

"I...l don't know... I mean..I.. I never thought of that. I've been always avoided that question... It's... " before Chloe can complete her sentence she broke down. Stacie pull Chloe into a warm feels little odd to Stacie because usually Chloe gives everyone hug and cheers everyone. But she tries to comfort her." It's 's okay. I'm here. I'll help you. You will get through this. You are Chloe beale who is fearless fighter of Bellas. You are going to be fine. I know." Even if Stacie doesn't know what will happen in future but she swear herself no matter what will happens she always going to stand by Chloe.

After hour or so Chloe composed herself from her breakdown.

"So.. what are we going to do?" Stacie asks cautiously.

"You know my ex Tom right?" Chloe replies to make sure.

"Who? Tom the doofus? Of course." Stacie says with smirk on her face. Who doesn't.

"Right." Chloe catches her smirk. "His brother Michael is working in music company. Actually he is partner in that company. I met him through Tom when I was dating him. Michael is good guy and my good friend too despite my break up with Tom." Chloe pauses herself

"There is a but" Stacie says. Chloe nodded back.

"Michael loves his brother Tom dearly and I don't know what Tom will assume if I contact them after... you know? But if anyone can help me is only Michael. If everything sort out then it'll be great breakthrough for Beca. I have to do it... for Beca." Chloe says as if she is cheers herself by saying it out loud.

Stacie finds herself into her beginning days of sophomore year.

After their winning of first championship Chloe broke with Tom. Bellas know about Tom and Chloe's relationship for almost for 8 months then. Tom was a one of the handsome guy on the campus. But for some reason Bellas called him doofus . Well he was doofus also doesn't deserve Chloe. After Chloe broke with him. He always nagged Chloe asked for another shot.

When Chloe fails in Rashian literature she continues to leave in Bellas house where Tom always visit Chloe with flowers for 5 months. Oh boy what a nerd. Everyone in campus found that romantic. But for Bellas he was the guy who didn't respect girl's decision. He goes through every possible way to pressurized Chloe but one day when Chloe came back Bellas house at night.

"Leave me alone, Tom. Why don't you get it. It was over." Chloe was tired after repeating this to him for upneeth time.

"No Chloe. Please one chance is all I'm asking." Tom said, hold her by her arms.

"Let me go." Chloe tried to freed herself from his grip.

"LEAVE HER ALONE. DON'T YOU GET THAT." All turned to look back for sudden angry sound. It was Beca's.

"You mind your own business. I'm talking to Chloe." He ignores her completely and focuses at Chloe again.

And that's it. Beca lost it. She grab him by his collar and drag him out from Bellas house. She pushed him hard on ground. But before anything could go wrong police arrived at time. Police took him in custody and that night Chloe cried her eyes out.

Next day Chloe bailed Tom which was Not supported by Beca. But whatever happened that time Tom never came back into Bellas house or into Barden's campus. Much relief for Chloe.

Before Stacie comes to her senses she finds Chloe on phone ringing someone...

"Hie. Michael. I'm Chloe." Chloe greets Michael over phone.

Well too late for take it back now. Stacie thoughts to herself.
