Bechloe Week Day 3: Drunk Texting
It's Friday evening which means that everyone is preparing to go out, in the Bellas house. Everyone, except for one person... Beca Mitchell. The brunette had just walked into the chaos that she had grown used to over the course of 4 years. She easily dodges a shoe flying towards her and absentmindedly waving up to Lilly who as usual is hanging upside down from the ceiling.
She quietly makes her way into the kitchen and opens up the fridge and takes out a pre-prepared plate made specially for her by Chloe. They still had a few weeks left until graduation and had returned a week ago from their retreat. Things were going extremely well between all of them and the girls all made sure to give Beca space after her shifts at Residual Heat, especially since she got a raise after the amazing demo she made with Emily.
Usually everyone would cook for themselves yet Chloe couldn't bare seeing a tired Beca coming home, not having food ready for her. Maybe it had something to do with the feeling she has for her but who can really tell. Beca doesn't notice Chloe walk up behind her as she was heating up the pasta that Chloe had made for her. So it's no surprise that she slightly jumps up when the redhead taps her on the shoulder.
"Dude!" Beca screeches, which makes Chloe laugh. "Not funny Chlo, you scared the hell out of me." The redhead holds her hands up. "Sorry Becs, I just wanted to know if you were going to join us for a night out?" Beca shakes her head. "I'm sorry Chlo but I need to work on the setlist of the Worlds so we can put the final touches on the choreo and music on Sunday. My boss wants me to work on another demo for a big client as well and I need to study for my finals."
The brunette is slight out of breath by the time she finishes her tiny rant because she was speaking so fast. "Whoa Becs relax, it's ok, I totes understand. Don't worry, I was just asking because..." The redhead trails off slightly. "Because what Chlo?" Chloe bites her lower lip in a way that makes Beca's insides churn. "Because I miss spending time with you?" Beca smiles gently at her best friend and opens up her arms, inviting Chloe in for a hug. "I miss spending time with you as well, I promise I'll hang out with you tomorrow while you're recovering from your hangover."
Of course Chloe doesn't pass up an opportunity to hug the brunette. She smiles into the crook of Beca's neck. "I though you were hanging out with Jesse?" Chloe suddenly remembers. "Uhmm..." Beca thinks about the issue at hand but shrugs soon after. "I saw him yesterday, and I can always tell him I need to discuss the worlds with you." No matter how much she would like to, Beca would never admit that she'd rather spend time with Chloe than her own boyfriend.
Chloe raises her brow to question her best friend but doesn't actually get a chance. "Really Chloe, I want to spend more time with you as well, and Jesse is moving to LA anyway next week so we'll see how things go anyway. I mean we'll have to get used to not seeing each other every day at some point, right?" The redhead is a little bit surprised at the unfazed tone Beca was speaking in. If it was her boyfriend leaving she would be devastated but still, Beca always wanted to go to LA so probably she would go up there after graduation and worlds.
"Do you need my help picking out an outfit or will you just show me when you're ready?" Chloe thinks about it and shakes her head. "Why don't you come up when you finish your dinner? I'll have some outfits ready and you can help me pick the best one out." Beca rolls her eyes playfully. "I'll eat when you guys leave. Lets get you ready for tonight."
Over an hour later all of the the Bellas minus Beca had gone out, leaving the brunette to work on her things. They had no idea how much Beca actually needs this time alone. Her entire life has been turned upside down in only one afternoon. She had wanted to to talk to Chloe about it but chickened out in the last minute. If Chloe had only know about the huge fight the brunette had had with her boyfriend... ex-boyfriend about her moving to New York instead of LA after graduation she would have never gone out with the rest of the girls.
Beca is sitting at her desk working on the setlist, completely oblivious to what time it is. To her it seems like only one hour had passed yet it had been at least 3 since the girls had left. So it's no surprise the girl jumps up when she feels her phone vibrate in her pocket. She sees that she has a new text from Chloe. She can't help the laugh escaping her when she reads her best friend's text.

Beca decides to ignore the last text and hurries out of the house with just her phone, an extra sweater for Chloe and the keys to Chloe's car. The redhead is the only one that owns a car and Beca is the only one allowed to drive it. No one really knows why but Fat Amy is still very adamant on it being because Chloe and Beca have huge toners for each other. Yet neither Beca nor Chloe will ever admit to it, out loud.
While driving she receives some more texts from the redhead but none of them are supposed to be sent to her.

The brunette reads the texts and smiles to herself. Maybe there is hope for the two of them in the future, especially if the brunette would accept the idea of moving to New York with her.
When Beca arrives Chloe is already outside but not alone. She doesn't like the looks of the guy trying to kiss Chloe. The redhead is trying to get the guy off of her by putting her arms out and pushing the guy away but the redhead isn't nearly sober nor strong enough to actually achieve it. So Beca doesn't hesitate to jump out of the car and pull the guy of off her friend. "Try that again and I'll break your legs." The guy drunkly stumbles away, not really understanding what just happened.
"Myyyy safiorrrr." Chloe slurs as she falls with her full weight into Beca's arms. "Hey Chlo..." BEca huffs out when she catches the extra weight. "... you good to go home?" The brunette asks as she manages to pull her friend towards the car. "Wiiii my char ya wow how yiou get heere?" Beca chuckles at her best friend's behaviour and gently manages to sit her down in the car a strap her in. It's only when Beca is 100% sure that Chloe is safe, that she walks to the other side of the car and gets in herself. She checks on Chloe one more time before starting to drive.
Chloe wakes up in the morning with a huge head ache and a mouth as dry as the desert. The redhead is confused because she doesn't understand where she is. She smells something familiar next her and kind of jumps up when she feels something move semi beneath her. She opens her eyes slightly and barely makes out the form of an other person.
Then it suddenly hits her. She sits up in a panic which in turn wakes up the person next to her. "Hmmm? W-what's wrong?" Chloe instantly recognises the voice and groans at the throbbing headache. "Here, drink some water and and take some painkillers." Beca says softly while holding out a glass and some pills. Chloe takes them and drinks everything. "Thank you." She says in a hoarse tone. "That's alright... uhm how about you lay down a bit longer and I'll make you breakfast?" Beca offers gently. She only gets up when Chloe nods her head and lays back down.
When Beca returns she finds Chloe sitting up with her legs pulled up and a puzzled look on her face. "How are you feeling?" The brunette whispers, knowing the agony of a hangover headache. Yet the redhead stays quiet for a while, as if she hadn't even heard her best friend. "Becs, did I do something stupid last night?" The question catches the brunette of guard as she remembers the text messages. "Uhhhmmm I think you should check your phone."
Chloe raises her brow but does as told. The redhead groans as she re-reads her text messages from the previous night. She lets out a strangled cry when she finds out she sent messages that were supposed to be for Aubrey to Beca. "If you're wondering if I'm freaked out about the messages, I'm not." Chloe looks up from her phone, straight into Beca's eyes. "I'm actually flattered."
Beca carefully sits down on the edge of the bed, not daring to break eye contact with the other girl. "I mean reading that your best friend thinks you're hot is kind of nice. But I do want to know why she never told me that she had feelings for me?" The brunette didn't care about taking things slow at this particular moment. She needs to know wether Chloe really meant what she wrote.
"I uhm... I never told you because you are with Jesse and you seemed happy and I didn't want to be that friend that ruins relationships." Chloe lets her head hang low. "Well, at least now I know you really meant your promise last night." Beca says with a shrug. "What promise?" Chloe asks as she snaps her head up. "You promised to move to New York with me because you can't imagine living apart from me... And I'll be honest with you, I can't imagine living apart from you either."
"But what about Jesse?" Chloe asks carefully, scared of the answer. "We broke up two days ago, when I told him I'll be moving to New York because of the promotion I got." Chloe gasps at the new information. "Why didn't you tell me?" Beca shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know, I guess I always knew that Jesse and I weren't meant to be. There's someone else who is my happy ending, and maybe in the future I'll have the guts to actually ask her out."
Chloe chuckles and rolls her eyes, regretting doing that almost instantly. "Maybe once you get settled in New York she'll accept that date." Chloe says with a grimace thanks to her pounding head. "I guess that's a great idea but now I want to cure my best friend from her hangover with a nice breakfast." Beca points at the pancakes on the bedside table. The two girls dive into the breakfast. Not knowing that in a few months they would be moving to New York with Fat Amy, barely having a chance to do anything about their rapidly growing frustrations as they have to share a bed.
