Chapter 3: Green eyed monster

It had been a few weeks since Chloe told me about her problem, she had decided to go home for Christmas to spend time with her family and getting herself back on her feet. I in the mean time had created a new mix, but not just one... we're talking a full album worth of music. I was proud to say the least I was happy that I'd been able to spend my time on my music alone with nobody around to tell me otherwise.

Me and Chloe had been talking regularly again and were soon back how we used to be, however there was still a wall between us, I knew after that night I'd caught feelings again. I didnt want to get hurt so I kept Chloe close but at a safe distance so I could keep her solely as a friend. It was difficult but I did it, I even managed to meet someone else at the radio station, she was starting as an intern just after Christmas, so I took the opportunity to show her the job and get to know her. Truth is I kinda liked her, she was different to Chloe, brunette, brown eyes, same height as me and she had a great taste in music !! Her name was Alex she was so cute and definitely something!

By time everyone started returning from Christmas break I had eventually picked up the courage to ask her on a date, she'd said yes and it was set. I had it all planned out I was going to take her to the new Italian restaurant just out of town!

When I arrived at the restaurant she was already there waiting for me, she looked beautiful, her dress flowed softly down her legs and her hair curled perfectly on her shoulder. I on the other hand was dressed super casual, with my hair tied up. We sat down and ordered, it was going well... that was until she started talking about her exes'! Like who does that on a date?! I played it off and tried to change the subject, but it always come back to her ex. I couldn't believe this! How is this happening!!!

P.o.v change to Chloe.

I had spent the whole of Christmas thinking about beca and how good she had been to me, I'd hurt her and she still stood by me, I knew deep down what I was feeling and was struggling to admit it. I wanted beca plain and simple, so I tried to re build things with us, I text and called nearly everyday! I wanted to fix what I had broke, I didn't realise how perfect she was and I couldn't believe how stupid I had been by not meeting her at the start. I always found an excuse I never thought anything would come of it.

Truth is the part of mine and Jess's break up was because she knew about beca... I led Jess to cheat on me because she know I had been searching for beca on campus, I had been stupid enough to get Jess involved. I told her to go to beca and show her round the campus because I wanted to know where she was. The only reason that Jess has figured out who beca was to me, was because of beca, she had been her usual self and told Jess to shove it because of her dating me and she didn't want jess knowing where to find her to cause trouble.

I can't blame her to be honest because once Jess found out I was skipping lectures to find out what classes beca was in, so I could "accidentally" bump into her, she went crazy, she told me she was going to go after beca and make sure she'd never come near me. After that we did nothing but argue and fight, until one day I walked into her room and saw her fucking her room mate! Turns out they had been at it since the whole beca thing, so when it got pretty nasty I guess I just blamed myself, it's stupid i didn't even fight back I just let her hit me. After that I just turned to walk away then over my should said "well it's definitely over" and left.

It had seemed that everyone has had their turn with the green eyed monster, but little did I know that mine was going to be making an appearance very quickly.

I go for a run every Monday. Wednesday and Friday. I run at least 2-3 miles everytime just to get out of town for a bit, I run further if I've not done as much that day. Thing is I have to do cardio 3 times a week because it's training for the Bellas, if I don't do it I have to feel the wrath of my best friend Aubrey, that is something I don't want, she tracks all of our phones to see if we're actually out running and if we're not she makes us deeply regret it.

I had a study day which meant sitting in bed all day watching Netflix, I had panicked when I looked down at my watch. Shit it's 6:30pm I dived out if bed a threw my sweatpants and running top on then ran out of the door, to my surprise I realised I had forgot to put my shoes on and my hair in a messy bun.

I'd been running for at least 50 minutes when I got out of town I slowed my run down to a light jog I had a 10 minute slow interval, I gently jogged up the small high street in the next town, it was beautiful the sun had just set and the smells and sights were stunning. I decided to sit on a bench I was passing to have a 20 minute rest period, I took in everything around me, people shopping or rushing around to get home after work, I took a deep breath and inhaled to most breathtakingly beautiful smell... mmm that was Italian food. I looked over to where the smell was coming from the soft lighting and the music flowed out of the restaurant on to the street, the couples all sat happily in a candlelit atmosphere, softly talking and enjoying their food, beca walking outside with her date and giving her a kiss. Wait I had to do a double take!

I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Who the fuck was that girl kissing beca! My heart sank deep into a unknown pit in my chest, pain turned to anger which turned to jealousy. I didn't realise how hard I was breathing until a single tear rolled down my cheek, I hadn't even realised I was stood up staring at them with my arms out until beca turned around to leave her date. She froze when she saw me, she didn't know I was back. There it was the green eyed monster he'd finally arrived.

I quickly turned on my heels and started to run back home, it was so much more difficult getting home than it normally was, I was struggling to breathe, I was crying. I looked a mess. When I got back I threw my self onto my bed and sobbed. I needed to pull myself together, I couldn't just lay around crying. I got my shower kit and walked to the shower block. I silently cried as the water merged with my tears unable to tell how much I was actually crying. I wish I never went for that run, I'd much rather be dealing with Aubrey.

P.o.v change to beca.

Fuck Chloe!!! I froze as I watched her run into the distance, unable to make a sound or move, how much had she seen? Why was she angry? After Chloe had ran out of sight I said goodbye to Alex and walked back over to my car. I had been sat at the steering wheel looking at my phone for 10 minutes... I wanted to call her to see if she's okay? But what if she just didn't want to disturb me and that's why she left. I couldn't process what exactly happened I couldn't even be sure as to why Chloe would be mad at me.

I drove home in silence, keeping a look out in case I saw Chloe, I was hoping I would but I didn't. When I got back I lay on my bed asking myself a thousand questions until sleep consumed me.

I kept things with me and Alex strictly work friends only, she was too much baggage and certainly too much to handle. Unfortunately tho since that day at the Italian it had been the last time I saw Chloe until 4 months later...
