For Good: Chapter 4

The Beales and Swansons are impatiently waiting for Beca. It seems like an eternity since doctor Morisson has left the room.

After waiting for another 15 minutes Beca's bed is being rolled in. She's attached to monitors and tubes.

A soft whimper can be heard from Sylvia and Marie, while their husbands hold them in a tight hug.

Jesse walks over to Chloe to give her a comforting hug.

"We will keep a close eye on her during the night, it would be best if you all went home and got some rest." Doctor Morisson had entered the room and no one noticed until he started speaking.

"I'm staying here, I can't leave her. I won't…" Chloe's voice is soft and barely audible.

"You should definitely go home Chloe, you endured trauma and a shock, especially seeing your friend like this. You need to get some rest and you know that I'm right."

Chloe looks like she's going to protest but quickly changes her mind and nods.

"Yes, you're right, but can I come check on her outside the visiting hours?"

Doctor Morisson smiles. "Of course, I'm not stopping you."

Jesse drives Chloe and himself to the apartment. Chloe goes straight to her room and ignores Aubrey on her way in.

"She's taking it hard." Jesse says trying to defend Chloe even though it wasn't necessary.

"I figured… How is she?"

Jesse sighs. "She's lucky, she broke some ribs and honestly she's lucky to be alive." Jesse plops down on the couch. "I'm scared, she looked so vulnerable in that bed with all the wires and tubes. I don't want to lose her."

Aubrey wraps her arms around Jesse and lets him cry on her shoulder.

After Jesse falls asleep, Aubrey goes to check on Chloe. She opens the bedroom door and finds Chloe sitting on the floor with the box filled with Beca's stuff and letters. Most of them have been opened and read while others are on a pile waiting to be read.

Chloe is wearing Beca's jacket that she left four years ago and plays with a ring around her neck. The only thing Chloe never had the heart to take off, she had tried but put it back on because it didn't feel right.

Aubrey pushes the door open even more when Chloe puts down the letter she just read.

"How are you holding up?"

Chloe looks up with red, puffy eyes.

"I'm a horrible person. She wrote to me every week and I never opened any of them. She kept trying even though I ignored her. I don't deserve her, I need to beg her for forgiveness for being an idiot."

Aubrey kneels down next to her best friend. "She'll forgive you because she loves you. You'll have to work things out and it won't go back to normal immediately, or maybe ever, but you can try. You have to try just as much as she did."

Chloe opens another letter, barely listening to her best friend.

"Chlo, can I ask you something?"

The redhead nods slightly but it doesn't go unnoticed by the blonde.

"Do you still love her?"

Chloe snaps her head towards her best friend.

"I never stopped loving her and I never will." She says determined.

"Show her, show her that you love her. You have to prove to her that you mean it, that she can trust you again. You hurt her pretty bad but I want to bet that she's willing to work on your issues if you prove to her that you're worth it."

Chloe lets the words sink in and doesn't notice that Aubrey had left the room.

She has to find a way to make it up to Beca. She just hopes that Beca will forgive her, even if it's too late to fix their relationship, or what's left of it.

Chloe is still sitting on the floor and reading the last letter Beca send her.

Dear Chloe,

I still have not gotten any response to any of the letters. I'm not sure what I can write to you anymore. I have written about everything that has been going on in my life, so if you did read any of the letters you're up to date.

Your brother invited me to the wedding, I assume he has told you. I have tried to decline multiple times for your sake and not to ruin the day for you but sadly him and Fat Amy are very persuasive.

I also wanted to let you know that this will be my last letter to you. As much as I want to keep trying I just can't do it anymore. I don't know what I did wrong and no one can help me figure that out. Whatever I did, I hope that one day we can talk about it.

I'm giving you your space and know that I'm there if you decide to talk. Whether it's at the wedding or in 50 years.

Know that I'll always love you

Beca

Not being able to hold back her tears, Chloe breaks down. She screwed up big time and nothing in the world will be enough to show how truly sorry she is.

After putting all the letters back into the smaller box and placing it into the big box with all the memories from Beca, Chloe gets up from the floor and walks over to her nightstand. She opens the bottom drawer and pulls out the envelope that she threw in there one and a half year ago. She places it in her bag so she can take it with her, the only way to find out what happened is to face the facts.

The next morning Chloe is the first one up and makes herself a quick breakfast.

A granola bar and a glass of milk. You can't really call it a breakfast but it had to do for the time being.

After checking on Aubrey and Jesse, who are still asleep, Chloe leaves the apartment and goes to the hospital.

Going through the back entrance is easy since she interned there for a year, and everyone knew her. She swiftly made her way up to Beca's room but what she saw there made her insides turn.

The room is empty and no sign of Beca, at first Chloe thought she had the wrong room but quickly understood that it was the reality. Chloe's mind could only think of the worst case scenario, she never acknowledged the nurse on the floor until she felt a sharp sting in her arm and then her body go numb.

"Everything will be alright." Is the last thing the redhead hears before she passes out.

Jesse wakes up with a weird ache in his chest. At first he thought it was Aubrey since she likes to use him as a pillow most of the time, but seeing her curled up in a ball next him makes him feel nervous.

"Babe, are you still asleep."

Aubrey stirs a bit but doesn't wake up.

Jesse sighs and gets up to check on Chloe before making some coffee. The door of Chloe's bedroom creaks open but no sight of the redhead.

"She left already didn't she?"

Jesse jumps up when he hears Aubrey's voice.

"She did."

There's a short silence between the two.

"Can I check something?"

Jesse steps aside and Aubrey walks to Chloe's closet and opens it.

"She took the box." She says with a smile.

"What box?" Jesse asks confused.

"Chloe kept a box with all of Beca's stuff. I think she took it to the hospital and I hope she uses it to fix things with Beca." Aubrey says with a smile.

"Do you think it will work?"

Aubrey shrugs. "I hope so, Beca is hurt pretty bad and it will take a lot for her to forgive Chloe."

A phone chimes through the apartment and the couple make their way back to the bedroom. It turns out to be Jesse's phone.

[From] James
Come to the hospital ASAP!

After reading the message Jesse doesn't hesitate to get dressed in a hurry.

"What's going on? What happened?" Aubrey asks in confusion while looking what to wear herself.

"James send me a text, we need to get to the hospital. I think something's wrong with Beca."

Upon hearing this Aubrey speeds up her pace and gets ready in a record of couple makes their way to the hospital and find Chloe and Jesse's parents in the waiting room.

"What happened?" Jesse asks his parents with a panicked voice.

"We don't know yet, they said Beca would be out of surgery soon." Dave says, being the calmest of the group.

"What do you mean surgery? Why would she need surgery?"

Aubrey takes Jesse's hand to help him relax but it isn't working as much as she would have hoped. Everything is very stressful and she can't blame him for reacting that way.

"We don't know, they told us doctor Morisson would talk to us after the surgery."

Jesse takes a deep breath before speaking again. "Where's Chloe? She has to be here because she's not home."

Both families share some looks before James decides to speak up for the group.

"Chloe came in here before they had a chance to warn us about Beca. When she saw the empty room she had a breakdown so they sedated her. She's sleeping in the room where Beca will be brought after surgery."

The families quietly make their way to the appointed room. They see Chloe sleeping in a bed, and Aubrey quickly makes her way to her best friend and Jesse follows.

The rest stays outside because they don't want to crowd the room for when Beca is brought in.

A little while later Chloe starts to stir, she's mumbling something, but neither Aubrey nor Jesse understand her.

"Beca!"

With a loud scream Chloe sits up in the hospital bed.

"Hey, hey relax, everything will be fine." Aubrey says while taking the redhead in her arms.

It takes the redhead a few minutes to calm down and is able to speak.

"Where is she? What happened?"

Jesse takes her hand before speaking. "They took Beca in for surgery, we don't know what happened. Doctor Morisson will come and talk to us as soon as he's done. Also, you were sedated because you had a breakdown when you walked in and saw that Beca wasn't here."

Chloe takes a moment to process everything that was said before getting up from the bed and walking toward the desk a little further down the hall. Everyone is confused but don't say anything and wait for Chloe to come back.

After talking to the nurse behind the desk Chloe walks back to the group standing outside the door.

"Her left lung collapsed, they noticed the distress in time and brought her down immediately. The surgery should be done soon and they'll explain the details."

To say that everyone is surprised to see Chloe explaining it so calmly is an understatement. They didn't know how she could go from a wreck to a professional doctor in a matter of minutes. But it did surprise them when she went back to the room, opened the box and took out Beca's leather jacket and hugged it tightly.

They know how much the brunette means to her. Even though they never understood why she broke up, they knew that there was still hope somewhere deep inside. That hope started to disappear with time and now was the last chance they had, they just hoped that Beca wouldn't give up just yet. Not on her life, nor on Chloe.
