Beca is still hugging the person she saw standing behind Stacie. The brunette is afraid that if she broke the hug, the person she loves will fade away, so she thinks if she's dreaming, she doesn't want to wake up anymore.
But then she hears Aubrey's voice "Beca? What's wrong?"
The DJ then broke the hug and look at her then to Stacie and Beth who are giving her weird look. She then looks at Chloe looking at her too.
Am I the only one seeing her? Does it mean that she's really dead?
It may look weird but she poke Chloe's right cheek to see if she's real then look back again at the three girls "Please tell me you're seeing her?"
"Beca what are you—" Beca cuts off Beth "Just please answer my question!"
"Of course we see her, what is wrong with you?" Stacie asks her. Aubrey walk towards their friend, held her hand and pulls her towards the sofa but Beca stops her and looks at Chloe.
"Can you stay by my side please." Before the redhead says anything, she looks at Stacie and Beth first who both nodded their heads at her "Uhm sure." Chloe answered.
The five girls went to the living room and let Beca sits on the sofa while Chloe sits beside her but maintain a distance from the DJ which the latter notice. The lawyer places the cup she's holding on the table and looks at her.
She saw the sadness, hurt, pain, confusion on Beca's beautiful blue eyes.
"W-where's Bailey?" Beca asks her wife "She's with Emily and CR in one of Aubrey's condominium. I just came here to get our things." The redhead answered.
"What? Why?" the brunette looks at her friends, Stacie is the only one looking at her "You want us to go back to Atlanta right then me and your- me and Bailey are going back tomorrow."
"Chloe, I d-didn't mean to- I'm sorry."
"Yeah I know, you're always sorry Beca."
"Just please give me one last chance Chloe, I'm begging you." The redhead looks at Beca and saw tears in her eyes but she knows what she really wants for now.
"I want to but I can't anymore." She answered, Chloe then stands up but Beca follows her, the other three girls are just watching and listening to both of them. The two went inside Bailey's room and Chloe starts to pack her daughter's things.
"Don't leave Chloe, let me explain first." Beca said "You can explain while I'm packing." Chloe answered in a cold tone.
"I'm just stressed that's all; there are a lot of things going in my mind that time. I just don't know what to do."
"We're all stressed Beca, you're not the only one who has a lot of thinking to do." Chloe stops on what she's doing and looks at her "We've been through this and you know that. You keep on pushing me away."
"That's why I'm asking you for one last chance. I want to make things right again. I had this dream and I think it's a warning what I'm going to lose if I continue on being like this and-"She stops when she hears Chloe scoffs.
"You want to make things right again because you had a dream of losing me and Bailey?" Chloe asks her which makes Beca nod her head "But if you haven't dreamed of that, do you still want to make things right huh?"
Beca opens her mouth but no words came out. She was caught off guard by Chloe's question. What if she didn't dream of losing them? Will she still be willing to fight for her family or let them go and go on with the life she has before Bailey showed up.
Chloe then shook her head and carries Bailey's bag. She walk pass by Beca and went to the brunette's room where she places her things. The DJ follows her and watches her put things inside her bag and in a matter of minutes the redhead is done packing.
She went out of Beca's room and went to the living room where the three girls are waiting.
"Thanks for letting me borrowed your car Aubrey and for letting us stay at your condo for the night." She said "No worries Chloe, we're friends right?" the redhead let out a small smile then proceed to the door.
"Please don't go Chloe." Beca said as she stops her from going "I don't want to lose you and Bailey."
"You already did." Chloe answered and turn the knob but before she can walk-out the door she hears Beca says "I love you."
She stands there for a while then turn around and look at her "You do know that I still feel the same way for you. For all these years, I tried to open up my heart and forget you but I can't."
"There's this person who's been there for me and she's been a mother to Bailey. I know she loves me but the thing is whatever she do; I can't replace you in my heart." as tears falls down on Chloe's cheeks.
"I love you with all my heart Beca even though you hurt me… but you know what you made me realize?" the brunette looks at her and waits for what she's going to say.
"You made me realize how tired I am… I'm tired of understanding you and most especially… I'm tired of loving you." Beca cries but she's still looking at Chloe "And the dream you had of losing me and your daughter, I guess that's a little too late for a wake -up call."
It's been an hour since Chloe left and Beca is still crying. Aubrey, Stacie and Beth didn't say a word since the redhead left though the blonde girl offers their friend for a cup of coffee which she didn't refused.
"So Beca Mitchell, will be forever alone huh?" she said without looking at the three "Don't say that Beca, you still have a chance." Aubrey answered.
"A chance? You heard what she said right? It's a little too late for me."
"So what? You mean you won't do anything and just accept the fact that you and Chloe won't be together anymore?" Stacie asks her and she saw Beca looks at Beth.
"Tell her Beth…" Stacie added while looking at the brunette "Tell her what?"
"About you and Chloe getting married."
"I don't want to know the details." Beca butted in "Beca, I'm not going to marry Chloe." Beth said.
The brunette looks at her then to Stacie who is seriously looking at her "The day we went to Aubrey's place is also the day they found out I'm going to marry someone in three months but it's not your wife."
"What Chloe said to you is true, I love her and really wanted to be with her but she can't forget you no matter what she does. From the start, she's been honest to me and that's why I respect her a lot. It hurts for me but I'm happy that despite of my attempt to court her, I ended up being one of her close friends and a mother to your daughter."
"It's hard for me to go on and dating others. I think you know why it's not easy to let go of someone like Chloe but in the end I met this girl and I'm proud to say that I'm deeply in love with her and we're gonna get married in three months."
Beca looks at Aubrey who is smiling at her apologetically "Whose idea is this?" she asks and the two girls look at Stacie "I just want you to realize things Becs but you're back to zero."
The brunette massages her temple and sighs. She must think of a way how to win her wife back without messing up things in the end.
"So any suggestions on what will I do now?" she asks the three "This time Beca, you're the one who need to think of a way to win them back again." Stacie answered.
"Did she give you the details of their flight tomorrow?" she asks Stacie as she wipes the tears on her face "No she didn't. We asked her but she said that it's better if no one knows."
"Okay. I still have a day before I get back to work for my concert right?" she asks Aubrey who nods her head "You're still going to continue your concert?"
Beca looks at Beth and she smiles a little "Yes I will because I will introduce Bailey to my fans. That's my plan even though I know my daughter won't be there on my concert but still I'm sticking to my plan."
"But did you asked Chloe's permission?" Stacie asks "No but that's why I'm asking for their flight details. Since none of you knows then I'll go camping at the airport."
"What?" the girls said in unison "You know they won't allow anyone to come in unless you have a flight." Stacie told her.
"Then if I need to waste my money for a fucking ticket, I will. I need to see my daughter before she leaves."
"Beca, I think-"
"You girls told me that I'm the one who needs to think of a way then this is one of my ways to apologize and win them back."
The three girls looks at each other then sighs "We're coming with you then, we won't let you look stupid sitting there waiting."
"So I'm stupid now huh?" Beca asks her "Well sometimes you don't but most of the time you are." The DJ laughs a little as Beth winks at her.
"We better get going; I'll book us a flight while we're on the road so Stacie, you drive." Aubrey said "Sure thing sweetheart." And she grabs the keys on the table near the door.
Aubrey opens it and Stacie is following her from behind, Beth starts to walk when she hears Beca calling her name.
"Beth!" she says "Yeah?" Beca looks down for a while and plays with her fingers before she look up again.
"I'm sorry for hurting Chloe and also for being rude to you. I'll admit that I'm jealous because of the way you make Chloe feel and for taking my responsibility as a mother to Bailey." The brunette said.
"I didn't mean all the things I said to you and even if it's true that you're going to marry her, I will do everything in my power to have her back, I won't give up on her this time." She added.
"Nice to hear those things from you Beca and I'm really happy that you'll do everything for them." They both smiled at each other and look down on the floor.
"So let's go?" Beca asks her "Yeah before Aubrey yells at both of us." The two girls laugh as they went out of the penthouse "Oh and Beca…" Beth says.
"I forgive you and I'm willing to help you whatever your plan is." She said.
MEANWHILE…
CHLOE'S POV
As I place our bags near the door, I look at my daughter sleeping on the couch. She was still crying when I got back from Beca's penthouse. Bailey told me that she dreamed of me saying goodbye to her and I don't know what that is supposed to mean.
I console her and told her that I'm not going anywhere and that it's just a dream then I remember what Beca said. I haven't asks her what she dreamed about but I guess it's not my concern now.
Emily and CR left a couple of minutes ago because I told them they don't need to drop us at the airport. We can take a cab from here, at first they refuse but I convinced them when I said I needed some time alone.
I don't want to leave Beca, the truth is I want to give her a chance over and over again but every time I do that I end up being hurt. Actually I can accept that, I mean I can understand her for running away all the time but for having a doubt on my daughter, that's too much.
I hear a faint knock on the door and I wipe the tears on my face. I walk towards it and saw my colleague James standing outside.
"Sorry for disturbing you at this hour." I told him and I let him enter "It's okay Chloe; I'm just watching TV so you didn't disturb me at all."
"Uhm okay." I look at the brown envelope he's holding and when he realizes what I'm doing, he hand it over to me "May I ask why you need to do this now?"
I didn't answer him and I walk towards where my daughter is sleeping while James is following me from behind.
I decided to ignore his question and look at the papers "I'm going to file this in Atlanta and send one to Beca."
"Are you sure about this Chloe? I don't know what's going on but I think Bailey needs both of her parents." James said to me "Really? Then tell that to Beca. I've had enough James. I can't do this anymore."
I tried my best not to cry but I failed, I felt a hand on my shoulder and saw James sitting next to me "I'm no good in giving advices or to make someone feel okay but if this is what you really want to do and will make you happy then do it."
Yes, this is what I really want to do but will it make me happy?
The answer is NO but this is the best way to end all of this.
"Uhm I have to go, I'll see you in Atlanta in three weeks." I nod my head at James and give him a hug "Take care Chloe." He added.
"You too James." I walk him towards the door and went back to the living room after I close it. I slowly lift up Bailey's head so I can sit on the couch and let her sleep on my lap.
I run my fingers through her hair and let tears rolls down on my cheek while thinking of the things Beca said to me.
"I-I-'m sorry that mommy can't give you what you wanted all these years." I said to her "I know all you want is for us to be complete but that's not going to happen now."
I just hope we can go back to what we used to be like Beca said but this time, no matter what we do and what we say, me and Beca will never be together again. I grab my phone and compose a text message to Stacie.
I stare at the words for a moment before I press the send button and I do hope that my best friend will understand my decision.
To: Stacie Conrad
I'm going to file a divorce and I want you to be my legal counsel.
