Chapter 5: This Can't Be Right

A few weeks had passed since the night of homecoming, and Chicago was out-of-this-world ecstatic. The football team was undefeated, he was getting straight A's in his classes, and most importantly he was dating the most beautiful girl in school. His life was perfect at the moment, and he hoped that it never faded away.

It was the football team's bye week this week, so Chicago was spending his Friday night with Chloe at her house. He showed up around six and knocked on the door. Chloe's parents were out, so it was going to be nice to have some alone time for the two of them since they didn't get that very often.

The door opened a few moments after Chicago knocked, and Chloe smiled when she saw her boyfriend standing outside. "Hey," she said, giving him a quick peck on the lips before taking his hand and leading him in the house. "I'm really glad you could come over tonight."

"Me too, I really wanted to spend some time with my girl," Chicago said before kissing her lips again when he took off his jacket as she lead him to the living room. "What did you want to do first?"

"Well, I figured that maybe we could find a movie or TV show to watch and then cuddle? Does that sound good?" Chloe asked him.

"That sounds perfect," Chicago answered, kissing her cheek before nuzzling her neck and placing a soft kiss on her neck as well. Chloe smiled and blushed at this then sat down on one of the couches in the living room, smiling wider when Chicago sat down next to her.

"So, do you have any ideas for what we should watch?" The redhead asked her boyfriend, grabbing the remote for the TV and turning it on.

"Ummm, I don't really know," Chicago said, putting his arm around her shoulder, softly tracing her arm with his strong hand. "How about Stranger Things? I need to get caught up on the new season, I haven't started it yet."

"What? Oh my god, it's so good!" Chloe said, smiling and turning on Netflix. "We have to binge it tonight then."

"Alright, sounds good babe," He said, smiling and laughing at her enthusiasm.

Chloe found the first episode of the second season on Netflix and then set the remote down. "I'll order some pizza to be delivered here so we can have some food during our bingeathon," she said with a chuckle, taking her phone out of her pocket and calling the local pizza shop.

Chicago smiled at Chloe, just admiring her adorable smile, her contagious laugh, and her baby blue eyes that made Chicago's heart skip a beat. He pulled a blanket off the back of the couch and draped it over them so that they could keep warm. "So, where are your parents tonight?"

"My dad's going on a business trip to Vancouver for a couple days and my mom decided to go with him, so I have the house to myself for the weekend," Chloe replied, smiling and resting her head on Chicago's chest while the episode of Stranger Things started to play.

"Ah, so they're going to be gone all weekend," Chicago said, smirking a little running his hand absentmindedly through his girlfriend's hair. "Maybe I should stay with you, in order to keep you safe from crazy people," he said, smiling and leaning down to kiss her forehead before putting his eyes back on the TV.

"Well, I don't think that there are any crazy people living in the neighborhood, but I appreciate you looking out for me," Chloe said with a cute giggle, sighing with happiness as Chicago continued to run his fingers through her hair.

They were about halfway through the first episode when the pizza got to the house. Chicago got out his wallet. "I got this one babe, don't worry," He said, kissing her cheek and heading to the door to get the pizza.

"Thanks, Chic," Chloe called after Chicago, smiling and pausing the episode so that he didn't miss anything. She then got up and grabbed some plates, bringing them back to the living room and putting them on the coffee table. "Mmm, that pizza sure smells good, doesn't it?"

"It does, it smells delicious," Chicago said as he sat down next to her and opened up the box. "I love pizza, it's probably my favorite food on earth," He stated with confidence.

"Yeah, I agree. Pizza is one of the best things to ever be created," Chloe said, opening the pizza box and putting some slices on a plate for Chicago before getting some slices for herself.

"Next to you," Chicago said, smiling. "I need to thank your parents for creating you as well," He said before taking a bit of pizza.

"Well then, I'll have to thank your parents for creating you as well," Chloe said, smiling and taking a bite out of her own slice of pizza.

"You're sweet," Chicago said before they pushed the play button on the remote.

After the first few episodes, Chicago and Chloe had decided to get into her family's hot tub and take a break from the show. Chicago went into the bathroom and changed into his swim trunks, smiling when he saw his abs and muscles. It really did help being on the football and the basketball teams. He then took a breath, knowing this would be the first time Chloe saw him shirtless, and the first time he would see Chloe in a bikini.

Chloe was already sitting in the hot tub when Chicago walked out, and the redhead smirked when she saw her boyfriend's abs. "Hey, you don't look too bad," she said as Chicago walked over and got into the hot tub with her.

"What?" Chicago said before he saw where Chloe's eyes were. "Oh yeah, uh thanks," He said in an awkwardly-but-cute manner. "You look…wow," he said, smiling as he walked over to the hot tub and set the towel down.

Chloe smiled and blushed a little at Chicago's compliment. "Thanks," she said, giggling when Chicago came and wrapped his arms around her from behind. Chicago smiled and pulled her down on onto his lap, placing a couple kisses on the back of her left shoulder.

"This is pretty nice," He murmured, place a trail of gentle kisses up to behind Chloe's ear. A place he knew was one of her biggest weak points after a few make out sessions.

Chloe closed her eyes as Chicago's lips began to trail over her skin, sighing with content as well. "Mmm, that feels nice, Chic," she murmured softly.

A small smile spread across his face, and nibbled softly on her earlobe before gently bring his hand up turn Chloe's face towards his. He then leaned in and kissed her lips softly. Chloe smiled and leaned into the kiss, running her fingers through Chicago's hair as she did so. "I love getting to kiss you," she murmured, leaning their foreheads together after their lips parted.

"You're an amazing kisser," Chicago said, smiling before leaning into kiss her again.

Next door, Beca was getting back from a gig. She slouched onto her bed and opened up her music book. Ever since homecoming, she felt like she got nervous around a certain redhead. But she didn't know why, which resulted in her once again being a pain in the ass towards Chloe. She looked over through her window and spotted Chloe and Chicago in a hot tub, making out as Chloe straddled his lap.

"Gross," Beca said, getting up to shut her blinds and rid herself of the sight. Once she closed her blinds, the brunette went back over to her bed and picked up her music book, opening it to a new page. She wanted to write a new song for the band to start working on, but she wasn't sure what to write about.

She sighed and put her book down for a moment, and went over to her keyboard, pressing the record button on her voice memo app. Beca began to play some notes to try and figure out a melody first. The brunette tried many different combinations of notes, just playing around on the keyboard like she often did for fun. Beca was playing a little melody when she stopped all of a sudden, a small smile appearing on her face. She played the melody a few more times and then grabbed her music book, writing down the notes she had just played.

"This is perfect," Beca said as played the melody a couple more times. She thought to herself what she could do next. This song was going to be a new kind of sound for her band, but she knew it work well. The brunette continued to record and write down the notes of the melody she had created before grabbing her music book and starting to brainstorm lyrics for the song.

The brunette closed her eyes and then just started to write on the paper. After a few minutes, she looked down at the lyrics she had written.

"You look so wonderful in your dress.

I love your hair like that.

The way it falls on the side of your neck

Down your shoulders and back.

We are surrounded by all of these lies

And people that talk too much.

You got the kind of look in your eyes

As if no one knows anything but us."

Beca nodded her head and continued to write the song as the night went on, smiling as the lyrics and melodies seemed to come to her effortlessly.

Back at Chloe's, she and Chicago were in the middle of a make out session on her bed in her room. Chicago was on top of her, running one hand up her leg while his other hand rested on her waist and his lips moved to her neck. "Mmm, Chicago," Chloe moaned softly, pushing his head down closer to her skin as he kissed along her neck. "That feels really good, baby. Keep doing that," she murmured.

Chicago whimpered softly as Chloe's hands tugged at her hair. He really enjoyed their makeout sessions, especially when they couldn't be interrupted by anyone or anything. He moved to kiss up behind Chloe's ear and sucked softly on the sensitive skin. His leg came up between her and softly began to grind against Chloe's crotch. The teenage boy knew what he was doing, that much was obvious due to the loud moan that escaped Chloe's mouth before he reconnected their lips.

Chloe hummed into the next kiss, cupping Chicago's face with her hands and sliding her tongue along his bottom lip. When he granted her request, the redhead's tongue slipped inside his mouth and began to explore. She moaned again as Chicago continued to grind his leg against her crotch, and she bit down on his bottom lip. "Shit, Chic," she muttered.

"You like that?" He whispered against her lips, a soft moan coming out of his lips her tongue went into his mouth. "Because I can do more than that if you want," He murmured, grinding a little harder.

"I'd like to see a little more of what you can do then," Chloe murmured back to Chicago, tugging at the ends of his hair as they kissed.

Chicago pulled back and smirked, he then tucked her hair back and kissed her lips. He tugged at the shirt she was borrowing from him. "You may want this off, babe. It's about to get hot in here," He whispered, kissing her roughly and moaning softly at the contact of their hips.

"How hot is it going to get?" Chloe asked, moaning as well when the grinding of their hips started to create friction between them.

"As hot as you want it to get, babe," Chicago whispered, beginning to unbutton her shirt slowly and smoothly as their kiss grew deeper and deeper. "Do you have protection?" He whispered, moving his lips to her chest.

"Yeah, there should be a box of condoms in the drawer over there," Chloe said, breaking the kiss so she could show Chicago where it was. As he went to get the box from the drawer, Chloe pulled her shirt over her head and dropped it onto the floor, laying down on the bed with a seductive smile on her face.

Chicago opened her drawer and saw the box of condoms, and he smiled before grabbing a couple before turning around and seeing Chloe on the bed. "Woah," he said, taking a deep breath before he walked over to her and kissed her lips, cupping her cheeks and using tongue as he helped her take off his own shirt.

After Chloe took off Chicago's shirt, she pulled him down into a passionate kiss. The redhead began fumbling with the button on Chicago's jeans, finally getting it to unbutton and then unzipping them. "You're sure you want this, right?" She asked as she pulled his jeans down.

The young teenage boy smiled and then leaned down to kiss Chloe's lips. It was full of want and full of passion, full of love. When Chicago pulled away he looked into her eyes. "There is nothing more that I want, Chloe. I want to show how I feel for you, in every way I know how," He said before laying her down on the bed and kissing her lips.

Chloe smiled into the kiss, feeling herself get more excited as the tension grew between them. "I want this too," she said, smiling and gazing up into his eyes. Then the tone of her voice got lower. "Make love to me, Chicago."

A smile grew across his face and he leaned down to kiss Chloe's lips. "This is going to be a fun weekend," he whispered before they got down to business.

About an hour or so later, Chicago and Chloe were laying in each others arms under the covers. Chloe was wearing Chicago's shirt and he had his arm around her. His other arm was draped over her side and he smiled at her as she lay there in his arms. "Thank you for that," he whispered, leaning forward and placing a soft kiss on her lips.

"Thank you for being an incredible boyfriend," Chloe murmured back, smiling as Chicago moved his lips to her neck and began peppering her skin with kisses. "Are you trying to get me going again?" The redhead asked, letting out a tired chuckle.

"Maybe, maybe not. Maybe I just like kissing you," He whispered, holding her body close to his. "Plus if we're going to be here all weekend, we don't want to use up all your condoms in one night," He whispered, smirking against the skin of her collarbone.

"Is there something you're trying to insinuate here?" Chloe said, smiling and giggling a little bit.

"Am I not welcome for the rest of the weekend?" Chicago said with a laugh before tickling her a little bit. "I'm only suggesting that if the rest of the nights this weekend are like tonight, we may want make sure we don't use all of the condoms. We already used two babe," He chuckled before kissing her lips.

"And who said that the rest of the nights this weekend are going to be like tonight?" Chloe said in a teasing voice. "I'm just kidding, Chic. After tonight, I'd say that you can expect the rest of the nights this weekend to be pretty similar to tonight," she murmured with a smirk.

Chicago just smiled and gazed into Chloe's eyes. "I'm glad I kissed you that night after homecoming," He whispered, tucking her hair back and stroking her cheek with his thumb gently.

"I'm glad you did that too. I'd wanted you to do that for a long time," Chloe whispered back, smiling and leaning their foreheads together.

"Well, I kissed you. And here we are, a month later." He smiled, tucking her hair back. "You know, Halloween is next week. We should look up some costume ideas for couples."

"Yeah, that would be really fun. Does someone usually have a Halloween party to celebrate?" Chloe asked.

"Stacie always throws the best halloween parties," Chicago mentioned with a smile. "There's always a big crowd at her parties because she's friends with almost everyone in the school."

"That sounds like it'll be fun. Does the couple who wears the best costumes get some sort of prize?" Chloe wondered aloud.

"There's no competitions, but I don't need validation from other people to know that we're the hottest couple in town," Chicago said with a smile.

"I guess you have a point there," Chloe said, her last few words cut off by a yawn. She closed her eyes, leaning back on the pillows of her bed and smiling. "I think I'm gonna try and fall asleep now," the redhead murmured softly in a cute voice.

"Same," Chicago said before turning to switch off her lamp. Then he wrapped his arms around Chloe, spooning her as he did so, making sure to hold her close. "Tonight was incredible babe," he whispered, kissing the back of her neck. "Goodnight, beautiful."

"Goodnight, Chic," Chloe murmured back to Chicago, turning her head and giving him one last kiss before she closed her eyes, falling into a peaceful and happy slumber.

That Monday, Beca burst into the music room after texting Benji and Jesse to meet her there. She had finally finished the song that she had started to write on Friday night, and she couldn't wait to show it to Jesse and Benjo. When she got to school, the brunette used the copy machine in the library to make copies of the sheet music for the drumming, keyboard, and guitar parts. "Guys, I finished a new song, we have to start practicing it," Beca said, excitedly. "It's something special, I know it is."

"Alright then, let's see what you got," Jesse said, taking the sheet music for the drums and looking at it. He started to read the lyrics, a smile spreading across his face. "Beca, did you write a love song?" He asked, his smile turning to a smirk. "Who did you write this song about?"

Benji, who was taking his seat at the keyboard (which he played from time to time) smiled when he too read the lyrics. "Yeah, I have the same question," He added.

"I don't know who I wrote it for, but the lyrics and melody just came to me," Beca said, grabbing one of the acoustic guitars that the school's music program provided. "But I just have a feeling about this song. Trust me," She said, smiling.

Towards the end of the school day, Chicago was walking down the hall with Chloe when his phone buzzed, alerting him of a new text message. "Who's that from?" Chloe asked as her boyfriend took his phone out.

"It's Beca," Chicago said. "She wants us to meet her in the music room. Apparently she wrote a new song and wants our little friend group to be the first people to listen to it."

"Oh, that's cool. When does she want us to meet her?" Chloe asked, smiling at Chicago.

"Now, actually. This song of hers must be pretty important," Chicago said, putting his phone back in his pocket and then taking one of Chloe's hands in his, intertwining their fingers.

"Well then, let's head over there. I always love listening to Beca's new music," Chloe said, smiling before they started to head to the music wing of the school.

Emily, Stacie, Cynthia Rose, and Aubrey had all gotten to the music room by the time Chloe and Chicago got there. "Hey guys, I'm glad you could make it. I'm really excited about this song," Beca said, grabbing guitar picks for herself and Benji.

"It's a love song," Jesse and Benji said at the same time, both still smirking as well.

"Shut up. It's not a love song," Beca said, rolling her eyes at her two bandmates.

"I think everyone here will agree it's a love song once they hear it," Benji said with a chuckle.

"Guys, just shut up and let's start playing," Beca said, trying to keep from blushing. "This one is called 'Tenerife Sea' in case you were wondering," she said before beginning to play guitar.

"Tenerife Sea"- Ed Sheeran

"You look so wonderful in that dress.

I love your hair like that.

The way falls down the side of your neck

Down your shoulders and back.

We are surrounded by all of these lies

And people who talk too much.

You've got that kind of look in your eyes

As if no one knows anything but us."

Benji and Jesse then joined in the harmonies for the next part of the song. Their voices melded perfectly together.

"Should this be the last thing I see,

I want you to know it's enough for me.

'Cause all that you are

Is all that I'll ever need.

I'm so in love, so in love.

I'm so in love, so in love."

The three of them stopped singing for a few moments, both Beca and Benji strumming their guitars while Jesse played a slow beat on the drums. Then, Beca and Benji began singing in harmony with each other for the next part of the song.

"You look so beautiful in this light,

Your silhouette over me.

The way it brings out the blue in your eyes

Is the Tenerife Sea.

And all of the voices surrounding us here,

They just fade out when you take a breath

Just say the word and I will disappear

Into the wilderness.

Should this be the last thing I see,

I want you to know it's enough for me.

'Cause all that you are

Is all that I'll ever need.

I'm so in love, so in love.

I'm so in love, so in love."

Chloe smiled as she watched and listened to Beca as she sang, the girl was absolutely one of the most talented people she'd ever met. If only the brunette weren't such a pain in the ass. Still, Chloe watched on in delight with the others, loving the song.

"Lumière, darling.

Lumière over me.

Lumière, darling.

Lumière over me.

Lumière, darling.

Lumière over me.

Should this be the last thing I see,

I want you to know it's enough for me.

'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need.

I'm so in love, so in love.

So in love, love, love, love.

I'm so in love.

You look so wonderful in your dress.

I love your hair like that.

And in a moment I knew you best."

At this moment in the song, Beca realized she'd been singing this song to Chloe the whole time. But why? She didn't like Chloe, not romantically. Right?

Beca wasn't the only person who noticed this. As a matter of fact, everyone else there except for Chloe and Chicago had realized that Beca was singing the song directly to Chloe. As the music was fading out, Stacie leaned over to Cynthia Rose, who was sitting next to her. "Is it just me, or was Beca serenading Chloe the entire time?"

As the rest of the crowd clapped Cynthia Rose nodded. "Yeah I kind of saw that too, that's a bit odd. I thought Beca hated Chloe," She said before clapping along with everyone else.

"Yeah, me too. I think we all thought she hated Chloe, but watching that proved me wrong," Stacie said, thinking about how Jesse and Benji had been teasing Beca earlier about this song being a love song. "Hey, CR, do you think it's possible that Beca wrote this song about Chloe?"

"I don't know, maybe she did," Cynthia said before shrugging her shoulders. "We don't want to assume anything though," She stated.

"So, what do you all think of the song?" Beca asked once she set her guitar down.

"Yeah, what do you guys think? Don't you agree with me and Benji about it being a love song?" Jesse said with a chuckle, earning a glare from Beca.

"It was definitely a love song," Chicago said chuckling and hugging his best friend. "But damn, it was really good you guys," He stated.

"It was most definitely not a love song, but I appreciate the feedback," Beca replied, hugging her best friend back.

"It was obviously a love song, Beca. Would you care to tell us as to who it's for or who inspired it?" Stacie asked the brunette, a smirk spreading across her face.

Beca glanced over at Chloe for a split second but then quickly shifted her gaze to the floor, shuffling her feet awkwardly. "I mean, it wasn't really inspired by a person. I was just feeling inspired on Friday night, so I wrote the song."

"Yeah okay," Jesse stated with a chuckle.

"We'll believe that for now," Chicago said before slinging his bag over his shoulder. "I gotta head to practice, but the song was great by the way," He patted Beca's shoulder before pecking Chloe's lips. "I'll call you later babe," He said before leaving the room.

Gradually, everyone started to leave the music room, going to practices or other extracurricular activities that they had after school. After awhile, the only people that were left were Beca, Benji, Jesse, Stacie, and Chloe. "Alright, we should probably pack up the instruments now I guess," Beca said, grabbing her guitar case.

"Yeah," Jesse said. He packed up his drum set with Stacie's help and Chloe helped Benji pack up the keyboard and his guitar while Beca put her guitar in its case.

Soon it was just Beca and Chloe since the others had to leave. Beca sat at one of the schools pianos, playing a simple melody when Chloe walked over and sat down next to her. Beca turned to look at the redhead. "Hey," she said smiling. "How was your weekend with Chicago?" She asked.

"It was great, actually," Chloe said, smiling as she recalled the events that took place over the weekend. "And how was your weekend?" The redhead asked, watching as Beca continued to play the piano.

"It was alright. I spent the whole weekend writing that song, so it was a long weekend," Beca said as she continued to play a simple melody she wrote a while back. "How is cheerleading going? Stacie said you guys have a competition coming up?"

"Yeah, we have a competition at the end of this week. I'm excited, but also a bit nervous. I've done sideline cheering before, but this is my first time doing competition cheer," Chloe said, tucking some of her red hair behind her ear.

"Well it's okay to be nervous, it gets your adrenaline pumping," Beca said, smiling. "I get a little nervous before every basketball game, and every show. But that little bit of nervousness keeps me alert."

Chloe nodded, reassured by Beca's words. "Yeah, you're right. It's just kinda hard though. With competition cheer, one little mistake can cause the whole routine to go wrong. I don't want to be the person that causes us to lose the competition."

"You won't be. I've seen you cheerlead, and you're really good. You won't screw it up," Beca reassured the redhead.

Chloe smiled softly at Beca's words and looked down. "That song you wrote was really good, by the way. I have no idea how you do it. You're so talented when it comes to music," Chloe said, looking back up at Beca.

"Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember," Beca said, taking her hands off the keys for a moment. "It's the one place I can leave everything else behind and not have a single worry in the world. It's my drug, and I'm never giving it up."

Chloe listened as Beca talked about her love for music, and the redhead couldn't help but smile more. "I can see why music is so helpful to you. It's helped me a lot as well," the redhead said. She paused for a few moments before continuing. "Chicago told me how you want to go to LA and pursue a career in music after graduation, but that your parents aren't supportive of your dream. I can't even begin to imagine how that feels," she said quietly.

"They just want me to think small, but that's never been who I am," Beca said, sighing and shrugging her shoulders. "I hate playing it safe, that won't get me anywhere. My parents haven't ever been to one of my shows because they think music is some hobby I'm going to grow out of."

"Still, it must be hard having them tell you that you won't be to achieve your dream. And even if they do tell you that, they're wrong. You're one of the most talented people I've ever seen, Beca. If anyone can make it in the music industry, it's you," Chloe said in a genuine voice.

"Thanks, I appreciate your honesty," Beca said before looking at the ground. "I just wish I could find some way to change their minds. Make them see that maybe I am being practical."

"You should try and get them to come to your next show. Maybe if they actually see you perform, they'll realize that your dream isn't far-fetched," Chloe suggested.

"Believe me, I've asked them to come a million times. They always make up some excuse as to why they can't come," Beca said, shaking her head. "If I had a dollar for every time they gave me a lame reason for that, I'd be a millionaire. I mean, I drive my little brother and sister to and from school every day, I have a job working at Dick's Sporting Goods four days a week, not to mention I pay for my own car, music, and sports equipment. I just don't get how they could think that going LA on my own isn't reasonable when I already pay for everything besides food by myself."

Chloe just shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know either. It sounds like you're pretty independent to me. Do they just not want you to go to LA, or do they want you to go to college somewhere instead?"

"They want me to go to college somewhere, and it's not that I'm against it," Beca said, biting her lip and shaking her head. "It's just that moving to LA and releasing my music to the world has been a dream of mine since I was seven years old," She chuckled.

Chloe nodded. "Honestly, it's your choice. I mean, it might not be as simple as that, but you're going to be an adult after graduation and you should be allowed to decide what you want to do with your life," she said.

"I hope they understand that soon," Beca said, running a hand through her own hair to get it out of her face. "So, you liked the song?"

"Yeah, I did. It's a bit different than the other ones you've written, but I like it," Chloe said, smiling at the brunette. "You just have this natural ability to make words fit together perfectly. I can't really describe it, but it's really cool."

"My first music teacher told me that I had this gift of mixing words together, even if that song was about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich because I was only seven years old." She said with a chuckle. "But when I was writing this one, for some reason I had no trouble writing it at all. It just came to me, I guess."

"I wish I could write songs like you can. I wish I could just sit down, have inspiration come to me and write an amazing song," Chloe said with a chuckle.

"Have you ever tried to write a song before?" Beca asked, placing her hands back on the keys.

"I mean, I have tried to write a song. I've never actually finished one before. I would either just lose interest in the song or get distracted by something else before finishing it," Chloe answered.

"You just have to keep trying. Chicago told me that you're a really great piano player, so that means you already know the notes. You just have to stick with it until you think it's ready," Beca mentioned, smiling and beginning to play a couple chords on the piano. "I bet you could do it."

"Thanks, I'll keep trying," Chloe said, smiling. After watching Beca play for a moment longer, Chloe started talking again. "So, who was that song about?"

Beca froze, trying to think of how to answer Chloe's question. "Uh, I don't know. I mean that in the sense of the song could be about anyone. Hopefully I meet someone in the future that I fall in love with, and the song could be about them if that happens," the brunette finally answered. "That probably doesn't make any sense at all. It's just kinda hard to explain."

"No, I totally get that. It's like you're foreshadowing meeting the girl of your dreams, and picturing what loving her will be like." Chloe said, smiling at the brunette.

"Yeah, exactly," Beca said with a chuckle, smiling back at Chloe. She looked away from the redhead and to the piano keys, playing a little melody for a few moments before standing up from the piano bench. "I should probably get going. I've got to go home, get some homework done, and then head to work. It was nice talking to you for a little bit."

"Yeah, it was," Chloe said, smiling as she watched Beca stand up and grab her backpack and guitar case. "I'll see you tomorrow," she said, smiling before waving at Beca as the girl walked out.

"See ya later, Red," Beca said , waving before walking out of the music room. She then sighed to herself, a sigh of relief that is. For some reason, she'd felt nervous around Chloe that whole time. She didn't know why she had felt nervous, but Beca still felt as if a weight had been lifted off of her shoulders.

After Beca left, Chloe gathered up her things and headed out as well. She walked to the student parking lot which was near the football field, smiling when she looked out and could see Chicago and the rest of his teammates practicing on the football field. The redhead stood and watched the practice for a few minutes before walking over to her car. She too had felt a little nervous during that last conversation with Beca for some reason. Maybe it was because she rarely had a conversation with the brunette that didn't end in an argument. Chloe just took a deep breath and pushed those thoughts away as she drove to her house.

Once the redhead got home, she went inside and started her daily hour of piano practice. While she was playing, her mother walked into the room. "Hey Mom," Chloe said as she practiced a piece by Beethoven.

"Hi sweetheart, how was your day at school today?" Cindy asked, smiling as she listened to her daughter play the piano.

"Really good, I got an A plus on my AP English test today," She said smiling as her mom sat down with a mug of warm tea in her hand. "Mom, I have a question."

Cindy took a sip from her cup of tea and then set it down on one of the coasters on top of their coffee table. "What's your question?"

"You and Dad support whatever my dreams are, right?" Chloe asked, stopping the progression she was playing at the moment to turn and face her mother.

"Of course your father and I support your dreams, sweetie. What makes you think that we wouldn't?" Cindy asked her daughter.

"That's it, I know you will. It's just, there's this girl at my school. Her name is Beca and she's Chicago's best friend," Chloe explained, leaning against the wall. "She wants to go to LA and pursue her music dreams. They haven't even been to one of her shows because they thinks it's just a non important hobby. But her parents don't support her going there whatsoever, they don't support her dreams. And I don't understand why, she's so talented. She could make it."

Cindy nodded as she listened to Chloe speak, taking another sip of tea. "Well, it's a shame that they don't support her dreams, especially if she's as talented as you say she is. You do have to understand that as parents, they are looking at the situation from a different perspective. I know that your father and I both would be scared if you wanted to go to a big city without a real concrete plan for making a living. That being said, we would still support you and do whatever we could to help you."

"She's so talented mom, like the most talented person I've ever met," Chloe said, looking down. "And the most important people in her life won't support her. Shouldn't all parents want their kids to follow their dreams?"

"Yes, parents should want their kids to follow their dreams. However, that being said, some dreams that people have are very hard to achieve, and making it in the music industry is one of those. I'm not saying that it's okay for Beca's parents to be unsupportive of her, but maybe they're just trying to put things in perspective for her," Cindy said.

"They haven't even gone to one of her shows though, mom. How can they say she won't make it if they don't even go to a show to see for themselves?" Chloe asked.

Cindy shrugged her shoulders. "That part doesn't make sense to me, but I'm sure that Beca and her parents will figure something out. They probably just don't want to let go of her after graduation. That would be my guess as to why they don't want her going to LA."

Chloe nodded and then got back to playing for a little while longer, finishing her hour of practice. When she was about to leave she thought about what Beca had said to her earlier about trying to write her own music. "You just have to keep trying until you feel like the song is right." The words Beca said kept repeating themselves in Chloe's mind and the redhead continued to work on a song for another hour.

At the end of that hour, Chloe smiled as she looked at all she had accomplished. She had created a little melody, written down the notes of that melody, and had even gotten to brainstorming some lyrics. The redhead gathered up the sheet music and notebook paper into a folder and left it on the piano so she remembered to keep working on the song. Chloe didn't know what caused her to start working on a song all of a sudden; the inspiration just hit her out of the blue like Beca said it had for her.

She then headed up to her room and smiled when she saw Beca sitting by her bedroom window, playing some music she'd probably written. Wow, she never really stops does she? Chloe thought to herself. When Beca looked up, Chloe smiled softly and waved at the brunette. Beca smiled and waved back to Chloe before going back to playing around on her keyboard. She occasionally glanced at Chloe through the window, smiling softly whenever she caught the redhead already looking at her.

Beca chuckled at the redhead, unable to keep the smile off of her face. There was something about the redhead that intrigued Beca, something that she couldn't quite put her finger on. But whatever it was, it made it nearly impossible for Beca to get Chloe out of her head.

We know a lot of you people probably didn't enjoy the moments between Chloe and Chicago, but we did have a lot more Bechloe in this chapter. And like we said before, Chloe and Chicago dating is important to the story. So stick with us! We promise it'll be worth it.

Until Next Time
