AN/ Sorry I've been gone for a while guys. School break ended and then life got hectic again from all the school work. I'll try to update more often. Please don't hate me...
- Beca's POV -
They had just arrived in Chloe and this blonde chicks apartment and Beca started to get really angry at herself. 'Look what you did. You couldn't help but let someone see you and now they have to take care of you' She shook her head attempting to get rid of the voices that never seem to go away. The blonde girl whos name she learned to be Aubrey was giving a serious glare in her direction, then looked at Chloe. "Chloe can I talk to you for a second?" Her voice sounding clipped. She heard Chloe sigh, "Yeah sure Bree." She could hear them pretty clearly considering they were only 10 feet away and around the corner.
"Chlo, why is she here? And why were you so persistent on bringing her here? Do you have a toner for her?!"
"Bree I brought her here because she needs someone. She needs help, I saw her in the shower a-"
"You bombarded her in the showers?! Chloe that's disgus-"
"YES I BOMBARDED HER BREE! I saw blood coming from her stall and I knew it wasn't someone on a heavy flow so I went in and checked and sure enough there she was, her wrists bleeding!"
"Omg, Chloe I'm sorry I assumed. Is she okay? Is she gonna try anything?"
"I don't know Bree but that's why I brought her here."
"Okay she can stay in the guest bedroom"
Beca heard them stop talking and guessed they were walking back over towards her. Chloe bent down in front of her and looked up at her. Beca couldn't help but stare into those extremely blue eyes, they made her lose herself and she momentarily forgot where she was and what shit she had going on in her mind. She felt safe with this girl and she didn't know why.
- Chloe's POV -
After her and Aubrey's discussion on why she brought the small girl there she went over to talk to Beca and tell her that she was gonna sleep in the guest bedroom they had. She bent down in front of the younger girl and looked at her for a minute. She looked like she was scared and timid around everything she looked vulnerable. But she really couldn't help but notice the girls eyes, they were a nice blue, like hers but a darker blue like the color of the sea. She pulled herself out of the daze for a moment and told Beca, "I uh, I know you don't really know me but you trusted me enough to bring you here. I'd like it a lot if you'd stay here for the night in the guest bedroom. I'd also like it if you'd allow me to clean up your wrists if that's okay?" She only got a small hesitant nod from the girl and took her hand gently and led her towards the bathroom.
Beca sat on the top of the toilet seat while Chloe grabbed the first aid kit that they kept in their apartment just in case. She took out the peroxide and some gauze with some colorful wrap that acted like a tape at the same time. She looked at the way Beca was sitting, She was hunched and seemed to try and distance herself from Chloe. She slowly walked towards Beca and sat down in front of her motioning for her to giver her, her wrists so she could clean them. She took a bucket from under the sink so she wouldn't make a mess with the peroxide. "Beca this is peroxide and is gonna clean out what ever bacteria that may have gotten into those cuts. Then I'm gonna wrap them up with this." Beca slowly and hesitantly gave Chloe her arm to clean. She took the car off of the peroxide and poured a little bit directly into the cut. Beca winced slightly when the cut started to bubble up. She quickly cleaned away the rest of the peroxide and put some gauze onto the cut then wrapping it with the prewrap type stuff. "If this is too tight let me know and I'll loosen it." She said. "It's fine. Thank you." She finished up the other wrist and led Beca to the room she was staying in. "Hold on, I'll go grab you something to wear to sleep in." She ran to her room grabbing the smallest shorts and t-shirt she had and brought them to Beca. "Here, I think these will fit you. They're kinda small on me so it should fit." She left the room with a small goodnight to the girl and gently shut the door to go to her own bed.
- Beca's POV -
Chloe had cleaned her cuts for her without blinking or making a face at the horrible thing she did to herself. She didn't know why she let Chloe clean them for her cause she's done it plenty of times before without anyone's help. She heard just how softly and sweet that Chloe was speaking to her and it made her feel like it was safe to she her vulnerable side to her. Beca got dressed in the clothes that Chloe had brought her to sleep in which fit better than she expected and hopped into the bed. The bed was soft and very comfy compared to her dorm room bed. She was exhausted from the adrenaline that comes with cutting yourself and the amount of pain that was coming from her wrist had kept that said adrenaline going until Chloe soothed it with her delicate touch. Beca closed her eyes and fell asleep while thinking of the red head that seemed to be someone that Beca couldn't understand why she felt safe around.
AN/ sorry I know its a short chapter and you guys deserve better for the amount of time I left this story. I'm just busy with life and school and my mind is kinda always going downhill, but seeing your guys' reviews makes the time and effort I put into this story worth it. :) Leave a review if you'd like I would appreciate it.
