Back at Chloe's Apartment, the Next Day
"I don't know where she went Bree! What if she's passed out in an alley?" Chloe gushed. "It's okay Chlo. Jesse and Benji are looking for her right now," Aubrey held her friend close. When they first got to the apartment, the door was unlocked and Chloe was sobbing on the floor. "Stacie darling, could you make some tea?" Stacie shot Aubrey a worried glance before moving to the kitchen. "She'll be okay Chlo."
Three Hours Later
Jesse and Benji trudged in, admitting defeat. "Sorry," they mumbled. Chloe slowly got off of the couch. "What you doing Chlo?" Stacie asked softly. "Looking for Beca," she replied, grabbing her coat. A hand rested on her shoulder. "You stay here, the rest of us will look," Aubrey pulled the coat of her hands. "Stay here, just in case she comes home." They gave Chloe pitiful looks, heading out to search again.
Chloe couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't Beca's 'oops I took multiple wrong turns and couldn't find my way back' or 'I fell asleep on a park bench' missing. It was something bad. Should she talk to the police? What if Beca comes home while she was gone? Chloe pondered her choices, before grabbing her keys and calling a cab.
"Could you take me to the nearest police station?" Chloe asked, getting into the cab. "Chloe, may I ask why you're going to the police station?" the driver questioned. "Nate?" "Yeah, don't you remember me?" Nate wondered sadly. Not many people bothered to remember him. "Oh Nate, I took your advice. I was going to give her the promise ring but then we had to go to the hospital and now she's gone!" Chloe cried. "She left you?" "She's missing! She didn't come home!" Nate sped towards the station. From what he knew, Chloe wouldn't react this way if she didn't feel like something was really wrong.
Nate pulled the ginger out of the cab, carrying her in. Once they were through the door, Chloe stopped sobbing long enough to be put down. "Stay with me?" she whispered, clutching Nate's hand. "Of course," he replied, "Take as long as you need."
Chloe retold the whole story to the officers. When she was done, she curled up into a ball on one of the waiting room chairs. Nate watched as her eyes drooped. Within minutes she was asleep.
"Chloe, wake up," the man softly nudged her, "this girl named Aubrey is screaming her head off through your phone." He slowly placed the phone in her hand. "She seems really worried." Chloe gave him a sleepy smile, raising the phone to her ear.
Aubrey burst in, moments later. "Chloe! You had me so worried!" The blonde enveloped her friend in a bear hug. "I know you're scared, but you'll be more comfy at home," the blonde murmured. Chloe nodded slowly. Aubrey pulled away, reaching for her wallet. "No, it's okay. But if you ever need me, here's my number," Nate passed a slip of paper to Chloe. "The ones you love always find their way back."
