For Good: Chapter 3

Chloe has been following Beca's every move ever since she arrived at the venue. People have started to notice but no one commented on it until Aubrey thought it was enough.

"Hey Chlo, if you keep starring like that she might disappear."

Chloe shakes her head and faces Aubrey.

"I've been trying to find the right moment to talk to her but she's been talking to… that girl."

The little pause at the end proved to Aubrey that Chloe is jealous.

"Just walk up to her and start talking, nothing more that you can do."

Chloe sighs. "I haven't spoken to her in over a year Bree, I can't just walk up to her and say 'hi'."

Aubrey puts a hand on her best friend's shoulder. "If you don't try you won't know."

Both women look over at the now dancing Beca with Jesse.

When the song ends they see Beca leave the room and Chloe starts to have a panic attack.

"Chloe, just follow her and talk with her."

Chloe nods her head but doesn't move. She only starts walking when Aubrey pushes her towards the exit.

"Good luck Chlo."

Aubrey shakes her head. "I really hope she gets her head out of her ass and they talk about it." Aubrey thinks to herself and goes to find Jesse to have another dance with him.

Beca looks up to the sky and sees the black clouds forming about her head.

"A short walk it is…" She mumbles to herself before heading in the direction of the open space she found two days ago.

But the weather has other plans and it starts raining. Not too hard but still rain. What Beca doesn't know is that a certain redhead is following her. She's almost at her spot when she hears a branch snap behind her. With a swift turn she's facing her biggest fear, she's facing Chloe.

"What… Why… Hi?" Beca stutters.

Chloe doesn't move or say anything, she's too scared that if she does Beca will make a run for it. Or worse that she will.

The rain is pouring down at this moment and both girls are getting soaked.

"You, uhm you look good." Beca tries but cringes internally. "You don't talk to her for a year and that's what you say?"

Chloe takes a breath before speaking. "Why did you do it?"

Beca is confused and feels slight anger coming up but pushes it down quickly. "What are you talking about?"

Chloe shakes her head. "You know what you did, Beca."

The brunette rolls her eyes. "No Chloe, I don't. I've been trying to figure it out for over a year but yet… I got nothing." Beca really has to try not to shout but is failing. "If you would just talk to me about the problem instead of hiding away and pushing away everyone that cares about you, we could have resolved this over a year ago." Beca is raising her voice but isn't shouting yet.

Chloe removes a bit of hair from her eyes. "You knew how insecure I was about our relationship and still you did that."

Beca is getting frustrated. "I did what?! Just say it because I seriously have no clue." Beca praises the rain because at this moment you can't see if she's crying or not.

Beca takes a few steps forwards to face Chloe. "Stop being criptive and just tell me what I did wrong."

Chloe also takes a step forward. "You cheated on me, you bitch!" The words left the redheads mouth before she even had a chance to filter any of it.

Beca is too shocked to move.

The thunder and lightning are the only sounds besides the pouring rain that can be heard. Beca starts shaking her head frantically.

"Who put that idea in your head? I would never do that and yet you think that?" Beca is shaking, not sure if it's because she's cold or angry.

"I saw the pictures Beca, you can't deny it."

Beca is confused. "What pictures? Chloe I would never do that to you. Do you really think I would go through all the trouble to come back to you every free moment I had to figure out why, if I cheated on you?"

Chloe can hear the sincerity in the brunettes voice but shakes it off. She doesn't want to believe her. "Then who is she?"

Beca throws her arms up. "How can I know, I don't even know about what pictures you're talking about."

A loud thunder crack scares Chloe so hard the she almost jumps into Beca's arms. Beca has to try really hard not to laugh. Chloe has always been scared of the thunder and lighting.

*Flashback*

Chloe is visiting Beca for the first time in L.A., and on the second night there's a thunderstorm rumbling above their heads.

"Beca?" Chloe shouts out to the living room but no reaction. "Beca?" At little louder this time but still nothing. "BECA!" Chloe is now almost crying and her voice is very high pitch.

Ten seconds later Beca bursts into the bedroom. "What's wrong? What happened? Are you hurt?"The worry in Beca's voice makes Chloe smile.

"I'm scared, can you stay with me?" Beca bursts out in laughter. "Sure, move over."

No matter how stupid something seemed Beca would always protect Chloe.

"Beca?" Chloe's voice is soft and barely audible. "Can you sing for me?"

Beca kisses the redhead's forehead. "Sure, what do you prefer?"

Chloe thinks about it but quickly decides on a song. "That song you sang when you got discovered."

Beca chuckles. "Sure thing babe."

Chloe, I know your sister turns everyone on
But oh baby, I have no doubt you're the one that I want (ooh ooh)
You think she's got it all but that don't make her better
You got my heart and that's the only thing that matters
Chloe, I know your sister turns everyone on
But you're the one I want
But you're the one I want, yeah

After singing that tiny bit Beca notices that Chloe's breathing has evened out and that she fell asleep. "I love you Chlo-bear, and I'll love you forever." Beca pulls the sheets up a bit higher and lets sleep take her over.

*End Flashback*

When Chloe realizes what she just did she lets go quickly.

"Sorry, I…"

Beca cuts her off. "Don't be, I'll always protect you."

Chloe isn't sure how to respond to that. Why was Beca still so nice to her?

A loud crack and a flash of lighting makes both girls jump up. Before they both realize what was going on everything went black.

The last thing they both heard was Beca screaming. "Chloe, watch out!" After that silence, except for the occasional thunder bursting through.

-,-,-,-,-,-,-,-,

"How do you think it's going?" Sylvia asks Aubrey.

After Chloe followed Beca out everyone came together hoping for the best.

"I don't know, I really hope they can work this out." Aubrey says keeping an eye on the door.

"Are you ok?" Jesse asks noticing his girlfriend's behavior.

"I have a bad feeling. The storm has gotten worse, and still no sign of Beca or Chloe." Aubrey says nervously.

"They'll be alright."

Aubrey shakes her head. "No Jesse, I have a really bad feeling… I'm going to see if I can find them." Aubrey starts walking towards the door but gets stopped by Jesse.

"I'm not letting you out there." After a moment and a knowing look from James Jesse speaks up again. "James and I will go check on them."

Now the rest is protesting vividly against it.

"Stop, we'll be back in ten minutes."

Everyone shuts up when James speaks up.

"Jesse and I, we can handle ourselves."

After convincing their mothers, girlfriend and wife, Jesse and James walk out of the venue in search of the girls.

"Do you think they solved their problem?" James asks while trying to shield his eyes from the wind.

"I hope so, I've never seen Beca so broken before."

James sighs. "We're all pissed at Chloe you know? We have no idea why she would break up with Beca. She treated her so good and now she won't even talk about her."

Jesse nods. "Lets just hope that they talk this through, but we can't get our hopes up too much though." Jesse says.

They continue their search in silence, both hoping for the best. It takes them ten minutes to find the girls but the sight in front of them disturbs them.

"Beca! Chloe!"

The boys run towards them. Chloe is just unconscious while Beca has a tree crushing her chest.

"Beca? Wake up!" Jesse shouts at his cousin but no reaction.

"Chloe? Can you hear me?" James shakes his sister gently.

"Wha… what happened?" Chloe wakes up slowly and her voice is soft.

"We don't know but…" James doesn't even dare to finish his sentence.

"But what?" Chloe tries to sit up and sees crushed Beca. "Beca? Beca!" Chloe scrambles up and rushes towards the brunette. "She still has a pulse, we need an ambulance." She says it more to herself than to the others. "James, give me your phone."

James does as he's told and waits for his sister to make the phone call.

*Phone Call*'

Chloe: "Hey Jenny, it's Chloe Beale." She almost screams, panicked.

Jenny: "Hey Chloe, what's wrong?"

Chloe: "We need an ambulance right away." Chloe explains the address and the situation quickly.

Jenny: "Chloe, make sure she stays awake or try to get her to open her eyes."

Chloe: "Yes, I know. Just make sure they get here as fast as they can."

*End Phone Call*

Jesse in the meantime ran back to the venue to warn the rest about what happened. As if luck was on their side 3 of James's friends are firefighters and collect some things to try and get Beca from underneath the tree.

It takes them a solid twenty minutes but by the time the ambulance arrives Beca is freed and immediately placed in the ambulance.

"Chlo, why don't you go with them. You need to get that cut checked out anyway." James pushes Chloe towards the ambulance.

The doctor in the ambulance knows Chloe and grabs her by the shoulders to push her inside the car.

"We'll take good care of both girls."

James smiles at the doctor and stands back when the ambulance drives away in the distance.

-,-,-,-,-,-,-,-,

Chloe is sitting a private room wrapped in a blanket. Her parents and Beca's aunt and uncle are all there.

James stayed in the venue with Fat Amy and the rest of the guests waiting for news. It's been an hour since they rolled Beca away, and there's still no update on her. If Chloe wasn't studying medicine she would be freaking out.

"Shouldn't we have some news by now?" Marie says breaking the silence.

"She's still in surgery but I can ask Jenny if she knows anything." Chloe wants to get up but her mother stops her.

"No, you're staying here."

Chloe is mostly working on autopilot. She's in shock and everyone except for her could see it.

"I'll go ask someone if there's any news, you rest." Henry says before walking out, with Dave following him.

"I screwed up mom, if she dies she'll die thinking I hate her." Chloe breaks down in tears.

"Oh honey, she doesn't think that you hate her. She loves you." Chloe's mom wraps her arms around her daughter.

"No mom, I yelled at her and she saved my life. I should be the one in there not her, she doesn't deserve this." Chloe is sobbing hard and no one can calm her down.

The group waits for another hour until doctor Morisson walks into the room.

"Mister and misses Swanson, I have news on miss Mitchell."

Dave and Marie get up from their chairs.

"Beca has broken 8 ribs and bruised 3. She was very luck that her spinal cord was not damaged and that she's not paralyzed. But on a more severe note, she had a pneumothorax."

Everyone gives the doctor confused looks, not understanding the jargon.

"It's air that enters and forms a pocket of trapped air around the lung, which squashes the lung." Chloe says from the bed.

"Yes, that's correct. We removed one but there is still a possibility that another one can form within a few days."

A soft whimper escapes Beca's aunt. "How do we know if that happens?" She asks.

Doctor Morisson looks at Chloe who starts explaining. "The symptoms are shortness of breath, increasing chest pain, or pain that is not near the break."

Everyone is impressed, they knew Chloe was doing great but they didn't know how great.

"You need to go to LA Chloe, it's your best shot. I know now is not the time but I needed to tell you this."

Chloe looks at the doctor, she has worked as his intern for the past year and a half and trusted him completely.

"I know sir, I have actually considered it more over the past few days and I will be going. I will write to the hospital tomorrow."

Doctor Morisson and Chloe's parents smile.

"No need, I will call my colleague who works there to arrange everything."

The doctor starts walking towards the doorbut stops in the doorway. "Miss Mitchell will be brought to the room any minute now."

Everyone thanks him before he disappears completely.
