Hey Guys, sorry it's been so long but I have been really busy with work and I'm actually writing a novel at the moment. I will probably be busy for a while but I promise to update when I can. I don't find I have much time for writing anymore and what time I do have I spend on my novel.
Anyways Chapter 14 - The birth is Bechloe :)
Chloe knocks on the door lightly before entering the hospital room, knowing Beca was on the other side and had a lot to answer for.
"Beca?" Chloe calls out gently as she peeks her head into the room to find Beca's bare back to her. Chloe gazes at the rippling shoulder and back muscles but cringes when she notices the tens maybe hundreds of deep, slicing scars on the short brunette's back. Beca turns around after her tank top is pulled down with a small smile on her face.
"Hey, can you believe this?" Beca laughs, pointing to the cast on her wrist.
"What happened to you?" Chloe asks and Beca shakes her head before throwing out a small giggle again.
"You were there Chloe, the bar was going to crush you and I tried to stop it. I don't see what the big problem is, I've already got my discharge papers, I'm fine." Beca jokes, a smile on her face, trying to play off that her wrist wasn't shattered.
"I'm not talking about your wrist. Your back, those scars, where did you get them?" Chloe asks stepping forward and the redhead watches as the smaller girl's appearance changes, her mask of humour faded and the glow in her eyes gone.
"It was nothing, just an accident when I was younger." Beca lies and Chloe detects it but as Chloe goes to call her out on it, Stacie enters the room.
"Beca, oh thank god you're okay." Stacie runs up and gives the brunette a hug. Beca looks over Stacie's shoulder to the redhead, noticing Chloe's judgemental look before she turns and leaves the room.
The next day:
"Chloe, can you please call me back? Bye." Beca says to the voicemail before hanging up again. Out of anger, Beca turns around and throws her phone directly into the wall, watching as it smashes to pieces.
"Well what did that phone ever do to you?" Beca hears behind her. She turns around violently to meet the jade green eyes of Stacie Conrad.
"What do you want Stacie?" Beca says as she makes her way over to her weights bench. Stacie noticing that Beca's cast was no longer on.
"Where is your cast?" Stacie asks and Beca ignores her, going to take the weights in her hands, Stacie astounded when she notices Beca registers no pain in her wrist as she lifts the 15kg dumbbell.
"Beca, your wrist has been shattered, how are you lifting that amount, without your cast I may add?" Stacie continues to interrogate the brunette but again, receives no answer.
"Hey! Answer me!" Stacie yells and Beca finally stops working out and drops the dumbbell on the ground.
"I've been through worse than this." The assassin replies, pointing to her swollen wrist.
"I've learned to be able to tolerate pain. We have a good relationship, pain doesn't come and I don't answer to it. Now if you don't mind Stacie, I'd like to continue my workout." Beca says before taking up the weights again and continuing.
"But I came to get you for Bellas practice." Stacie replies and laughs as Beca curses aloud, almost throwing the weights down again. Beca not happy as she will have to deal with a certain redhead.
Later that night, the Bellas find themselves at a random party that Fat Amy had brought them all to. Beca makes her rounds through the crowded hallways, making sure that Chloe is safe but instead finds the redhead in the company of Tom and pills again, however this time unaffected by the activity, instead only being ready if she is in any immediate danger. As she is about to walk out the front door to escape the party scene, she finds Stacie passed out with one of the SBT guys, Aubrey passed out next to them. Beca takes a deep breath before moving over and waking up the two girls, she knew the other Bellas had gone home. Aubrey groans before opening her eyes.
"What do you want hobbit?" She manages to get out. Beca's eyebrows furrow as she watches Aubrey sit up.
"I need to get you guys home. Come on." Stacie groans as Beca wakes her up.
"Come on Aubrey, I'm taking you home." Beca says as she helps Chloe stand. Aubrey lies back down.
"Go to hell disrespectful bitch." She murmurs. Beca takes all of her strength to not strangle Aubrey to death instead helping Stacie walk. She turns to Aubrey again, whom had passed out again and tries to wake her up with no success. Beca decides to help Stacie get home and come back for both Aubrey and Chloe.
"Thankyou Beca, you're my knight in shining armor." Chloe giggles. Beca smiles at the comment before helping Chloe into her dorm room and onto her bed. Beca had already taken Stacie and Aubrey home and now was finishing her night with Chloe. Chloe laughs as she wraps her arms around Beca's neck and pulls her down with her.
"Come on Red, I have to go get home." Beca says as she tries to get out of Chloe's grip. When she finally succeeds, she heads for the door when a small voice stops her.
"Do you love me too Beca?" Chloe says quietly. Beca stops at the doorway and holds the handle, taking a deep breath she turns back to the redhead and replies. 'She is drunk anyway. She won't remember by the morning.' Beca says to herself.
"You scare me. Because you have this ability to make me feel again and I don't want to. I don't know what love is Chloe." Beca says before leaving, shutting the door behind her. Chloe sits on the bed shocked at what she had just heard but shortly passes out on the bed.
"Oh my God, I'm never drinking again." Aubrey groans as she sits up in her bed. Chloe was sitting on her bed, typing up more of her thesis.
"How did I end up home?" Aubrey asks as she rubs her temples with the heels of her hands.
"Beca. She left a note. She brought me home too apparently." Chloe replies and Aubrey smiles a little at the thought of the girl whom she slapped yesterday, brought the two captains home.
"Do you remember anything from last night? I can't remember past the beer pong." Aubrey asks Chloe and she shakes her head.
"No, I remember after the beer pong but not much after. I certainly didn't remember how I got back home." Chloe adds and Aubrey groans again as she falls backward allowing her head to hit her pillow again. She reaches up and grabs Beca's note and reads it.
Aubrey and Chloe
You guys were passed out at the party and I didn't want anything to happen so I brought you both home. Aubrey I hope you don't mind because you called me a bitch the whole way home.
Anyways there is some Tylenol and water on each of your bedside tables, hopefully it helps.
I'll see you both at rehearsals later.
Beca.
Aubrey looks to her bedside table and sees two Tylenol tablets and a glass water sitting on the surface. 'Maybe I've been too hard on Beca.' She says to herself as she downs the tablet with some water and lays back down again.
Beca arrives back in her dorm room after her class to find a redhead sitting on her bed waiting for her.
"Chloe? What are you doing here?" Beca asks, closing the door. Chloe straightens up before responding.
"I wanted to apologize. I know I've been really pushy lately but it's only because I want you in my life and to prove it. I was trying to write a paper this morning with my huge hangover which by the way thankyou for bringing us home, but anyway after crying for an hour, I wrote something else." Chloe picks up the guitar she had brought with her, looking to her as if asking permission. Beca nods and moves to sit on her weights bench opposite Chloe on the bed. Chloe starts strumming the guitar.
Breathe in, breathe out,
Tell me all of your doubts,
And everybody bleeds this way,
Just the same.
Breathe in, breathe out,
Move on and break down,
If everyone goes away
I will stay.
We push and pull,
And I fall down sometimes,
I'm not letting go,
You hold the other line.
Cause there is a light in your eyes, in your eyes.
Hold on hold tight,
From out of your sight,
If everything keeps moving on, moving on,
Hold on hold tight,
Make it through another night,
And everyday there comes a song with the dawn,
We push and pull and I fall down sometimes,
I'm not letting go,
You hold the other line.
Cause there is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
Breathe in, and breathe out.
Breathe in, and breathe out.
Breathe in, and breathe out.
Breathe in, and breathe out.
Look left look right,
To the moon in the night.
And everything under the stars is in your arms.
Cause there is a light, in your eyes in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
Chloe finishes playing and looks up to Beca whom looks unphased by the whole interaction, Chloe drops her head and stands up to leave. In truth, Beca had felt her heart burst open in her chest. Chloe singing to her in that moment had made her remember her mother singing to her and her sister the same way. It was as if Chloe's voice had unlocked any cage that Beca had kept her emotions in. Her emotions now bouncing around freely in her mind, bringing her to tears. The memories her mother, her sister, Amitiel, the pain the league had caused, everything she had chosen to lock away was now gushing from the dam she had created in her mind, her head pounding. Beca snaps out of her shock as Chloe is about to leave and grabs her wrist stopping her. Chloe turns back to find Beca crying but as she goes to ask the short brunette if she is okay. Beca leans forward and smashes her lips against Chloe's. The kiss gentle at first put increasing in intensity as Chloe starts to reply, blending the movements of their lips together. Both eager for more. They both feel the electricity surging through every single one of the nerves in their body, electrifying them, surging them closer together like magnets. The two girls lips blending together as if they were meant to mold perfectly for each other. Chloe pulls away and looks into Beca's storm blue eyes.
"Woah." Chloe whispers with a grin. She watches as Beca almost looks as if she is in an internal war with herself. In truth, she was. The young assassin was at war with herself, Azrael was fighting the urge to kiss Chloe again but Beca really wanted to. Her emotional dam had been burst open by the mesmerizing redhead in front of her. No one had been able to get through Beca's walls until Chloe and it interested the brunette as to how Chloe did it. What was her secret?
"Min 'ant? (Who are you?)" Beca whispers in Arabic before leaning forward and kissing Chloe again. The redhead immediately responding to the kiss. Her mind racing, with questions and she knew she had Beca at a vulnerable state so she wanted to try get some answers.
"What happened to your back?" Chloe asks gently between kisses and Beca freezes and pulls away like and ice cold bucket of water was poured on her. She stands up and moves away from the bed where Chloe still sat.
"No Beca, don't please. Open up to me." Chloe asks as she stands up, grasping Beca's unshattered wrist and stopping her.
"I had an accident when I was a kid. That's all." Beca replies, trying to get Chloe to drop the question.
"What kind of accident?" Chloe replies and Beca realises that Chloe won't drop the conversation.
"The kind that would sober you up and make you run." Beca adds, dropping her head. She had never told anyone about THAT night. The night her family died. The night her own father shot and killed her mother and broke her sister's spine. How was she going to explain this to Chloe?
"Try me." Chloe replies as she slowly pulls Beca back to the bed. Beca knew that Chloe worked out how vulnerable she was, and she was vulnerable, the younger girl feeling as if her chest had been sliced open and she was bleeding slowly, or well worse than that seeing as her chest had been sliced once, a scar as proof. The assassin part of Beca realizing also that this could be a way to get closer to Chloe in order to finish her mission.
"It happened eleven years ago. My dad used to beat my Mom, my sister and I. One night, he was drunk and just lost it. My sister Hailee, she was just 5 and she went to stop him. He threw her against the stove, broke the top of her spine, around her neck." Beca started, looking to Chloe who already had tears in her eyes before continuing.
"H-He took me upstairs and whipped me senseless with his belt and beat me half to death before h-he…" Beca's voice starts to get shaky and Chloe knows what Beca is going to say, making her feel even worse for asking.
"He raped me. I screamed for Mom and I heard her pounding on the door. Next thing I knew the police were in the room and taking my Dad away. The paramedics came and helped me but I heard two gunshots before I came out. When I got outside, my Dad had shot my Mom and the Police had shot him. My parents both dead in front of me." Beca continues and doesn't look at Chloe this time, knowing that Chloe is definitely in tears now.
"I knew than that it was just me and my sister, until they brought her out in a bag. The force of my Dad's throw had killed her too. I lost my whole family that night Chloe. My sister and my Mom were everything to me and my Dad killed both of them that night. My 5 year old sister." Beca finishes, tears now in her eyes. Her emotional dam was already burst open, talking about what happened the night she shut it off, made the memories flash back. She watches as Chloe stares forward, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"You can run now." Beca says as she stands up again but Chloe grabs her hand and stops her, standing up to meet Beca's height. Instead of running, Chloe leans down and kisses Beca again.
"I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm not going anywhere." Chloe whispers in Beca's ear. Beca realizing that Chloe might be what she had read about, her soulmate.
"I should probably get going." Chloe finally says after a few moments of silence but Beca stops her.
"Stay with me tonight." She quickly offers and Chloe grins before nodding.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It's happening! Anyways in aabout two chapters time, someone is going to find out about Beca is Azrael. What will happen? Who will it be? Will it affect Beca's mission? Will it affect BeChloe? Find out hopefully soon.
Thanks for being so patient and I promise to try get another chapter up in the next couple of weeks.
