The day after and Regional's

*Knock* *Knock*

Beca was in a very deep sleep. She and Jesse stayed up after the Cafe closed. They watched a couple of episodes of the first season of Lost Girl. They drank each time Bo had no clue about the Fae world, to say that they got a bit wasted would be an understatement. She was dreaming about one redhead. She didn't really want to wake up but something was nagging her in her dream state.

*Knock* *Knock*

Chloe had been knocking on Beca's door for about 5 minutes now. She had Beca's coffee and one bagel deluxe ala-Chloe. She wanted to ask the brunette who the song was dedicated to but she had a feeling that she already knew who it was and if she was right then...Well she didn't want to be right. It would 'cause too many problems. Her parents don't like the idea of homosexuals. They're too religious and too old fashioned. She had debated it over and over again on her way to Beca's dorm. She wouldn't bring up the previous night. Not unless Beca does. For now. She just needs to wait for the brunette to answer the door or so help her she will barge in and soon. One more try.

*Knock* *Knock*

Beca begins to stir. She was being told to wake up by the Chloe in her dream. Said that she needed to wake up now. Said she'd be waiting on the other side.

Chloe was just about to plop down on the floor in-front of Beca's door when said door swung open to reveal one sleepy eyed tiny hot brunette girl. Chloe gasped. Even if Beca wasn't in her usual plaid or alt outfit she looked hot. Chloe could feel her heart beating rapidly in her chest. Her breath was caught up in her throat. She was mesmerized. She needed to calm down. She needed to keep her emotions in check. She needed to stop whatever she felt for Beca. She needed to at least try to pretend not to be in-love with her.

"Chlo?" Beca said sleepily while rubbing at her eyes. "Something wrong?" She added once she saw how tense Chloe seemed to be at the moment.

Chloe let out a breath that she had to be holding in. "Hey Becs..." She said softly giving the freshman a soft smile. She looked adorable right now. Damn it Beale you're not even trying. "No nothing's wrong. Just wanted to visit one of my best friends today and since Bree and I live together..." She left it hanging.

"Oh! Come in dude! Not like you need an invitation to come inside my dorm though Red. You do kind of half live here anyway." Beca said jokingly to the redhead. "I mean you practically barge in here and demand a sleep over like all the time Chlo n-not that I don't enjoy it- it's just strange that now you decide to actually knock this time!" Beca said laughing softly. She stepped to the side giving room for Chloe to pass her by and into her dorm.

"So you mind if I like go and take a quick shower first? I kinda look like a gremlin since I did just wake up and Jesse and I did stay up and drink ourselves to the bone...?" Chloe was just staring right at her. "Hey Chlo...Chlo?"

"Huh? Oh sorry Becs I just got a lot on my mind. I got you coffee and your favorite bagel made especially by yours truly! Yeah you do kind of need a bath Shorty so go go go!" Chloe said crinkling her nose at the end jokingly at Beca.

Beca stuck out her tongue and thanked the redhead for the food and coffee. She made her way first to the co-ed showers. There were two reasons she needed it really bad. Well three now. One was she was beginning to feel grimy and sticky the second was her dream. It was HOT and secretly she hoped that She could do it with Chloe. In reality though she knew that it would be a big negative. Chloe was straight.

The two of them hung out in her dorm watching movies, to Beca's utter dismay. She couldn't say no to the redhead anyway even if she tried to. It was the middle of the third movie they were watching 'Love Actually' Chloe leaned on Beca's shoulder. It wasn't new or anything to the both of them but somehow this time it felt different. For Beca because even if she was anonymous during the show last night she kind of admitted it to the whole world that she was in love with Chloe. Chloe because she was still denying her feelings but then they keep rising forcing themselves out of her. Beca wrapped an arm around the redheads waist pulling her closer and moulding their bodies together. It was automatic. Instinctual. Natural. Chloe snuggled even closer to the brunette and hummed lightly in approval.

Beca turned her head slightly, enough to get a good look at Chloe. When she turned she did not expect the redhead to be doing the same thing. Their eyes locked. Neither of them knew that they were inching closer to one another. Beca looked down to Chloe's lips and back up her crystal blue eyes. Chloe did the same to Beca. Her eyes would flit from the brunette's lips to her cool bluish grey eyes. They could feel each others' breaths tickling their faces. Just a bit more and they'd be able to kiss.

*Click*

The lights turned on the two sprang apart. Eyes back onto the movie which was now showing the ending. They heard Kimmy Jin enter the dorm with her other Asian friends. They stopped when they saw the two girls on the Bed. Chloe shrugged gave Beca a hug and stood up to leave. The brunette followed her to the door and before Beca could say anything Chloe placed a chaste kiss on her cheek.

'I'll see you later at practice Bec! Remember regional's are only a couple of days away!'

With that Chloe left Beca's dorm and headed back to her and Aubrey's apartment.

Rehearsals was a bitch. Aubrey never let up. She was hardcore killing them slowly with the same boring routine over and over again. They all knew the steps by muscle memory. She could at least give them a break or two. They all went home later that night sore, grumpy and really tired. Regional's were only a few days away but damn if the set would change after a couple of days. They had everything down already they sounded good but not great and Beca thought that they could be more.

...Regionals...

The Bella's were all on board a bus driven by Fat Amy. They were already dressed in their flight attendant looking uniform. Never Stray from tradition Aubrey Posen had them wearing the uniform from campus to the event. They got there a bit late due to an everlasting pit stop from the blonde Australian singer.

The sockapella's were on stage performing Fuck you by Lily Allen. What made them unique? The sock-puppets they had on. Amy commented something about it being very smart and cute and Aubrey just had to squash the Aussie's joy by saying something along the lines of there not being any craft or talent there. Beca could only scoff. Chloe saw the brunette's reaction and gave Beca a warning look to try and keep it in and not start a fight with the Aca-Nazi.

The Bella's were up next. They looked like a group of hot mess. They didn't look anything like the Bella's the people were used to. One because not a-lot of them had bikini ready bodies and two they had a way more creative and eccentric bunch than the past Bella's. They performed a combination of I saw the sign and Turn the Beat around. While they were performing Beca noticed the crowed grow bored with their set up until Fat Amy Came in with her solo that Aubrey handed to her since Chloe had nodes and she wouldn't let Beca create a new set list.

Fat Amy put an extra umph with her solo and a lot of the freshmen were smiling and enjoying it. Chloe saw their faces they looked like they were really having fun that is until she saw Aubrey's expression. She knew trouble was going to come soon. Up next were the trebles and they started and ended with a huge crowd pleaser. They sang Right Round by Flo Rida. They were awesome.

It wasn't surprising that the Trebles won first place. The Bella's got second while the Sockapellas got third. The Trebles and Bella's were moving on to the Semi's.

The Bella's were on their way out when they saw a scene all too familiar to the two Bella Captains. The Tonehangers; an acapella group full of alumni from different schools, were trying to pick another fight.

Beca was getting pissed at Jesse for being a big cunt. He didn't want to man up and stand up for himself. Well since he is her lesbro might as well save his ass.

"I'm just gonna go check on them" Beca says while making her way down the stairs and towards Jesse and one of the dudes from the Tonehangers.

"Hey! Leave my lesbro alone dude!" Beca clocks him with a mean right hook.

"Dude! Becaw! You seriously didn't have to! But that was awesome!" Jesse raised his hand for a high five. Beca shrugged. Looking at the man knocked out on the floor to Jesse's raised hand she decided what the hell and high fived him. That's one more secret out in the open.

They both heard a glass break and turned to see Fat Amy running with a half of the Trebles' trophy. Someone tossed the other half and it landed near Beca's feet. She and Jesse were shocked by what they saw and couldn't fully comprehend why they were the ones being cuffed and shoved inside the campus police car and driven to a local jail.

"Shit! Beca!" Chloe tried calling out to the brunette to no avail. She was in shock and was completely shut off from whatever was happening around her.

"Bree! We need to bail her out!" Chloe pleaded to her best-friend.

"Chloe she'll be fine she's with Jesse her 'lesbro' besides we can just wait for her in her dorm now come on." Aubrey then led the Bella's back to the bus.

"I'm staying Bree. You go on ahead." Chloe said coldly towards her bestfriend. Bella's stick together my ass. She doesn't even want to bail one of our own out. Chloe hailed a cab and told the driver to bring her to the jail where Beca and Jesse were driven to.

"Damn it!" Beca said while punching the wall. She and Jesse were being kept in a holding cell overnight if they weren't going to get bailed by tonight.

"Calm down Becaw. There's nothing we can do now can we?" Jesse said his face buried in his hands.

"Don't they have like cctv camera's there or anything? I mean I don't want to rat out on one of my girls but...ugh!" Beca said out loud her voice full of exasperation.

"They won't put it in our records so that's something Beca. They don't even have proof that we were the ones that broke the glass window so technically we have nothing major to be pissed about just the fact that we need to stay here over night since I'm guessing neither Bumper nor Aubrey would be willing to bail out their delinquent members." Jesse then adjusted himself to lie on the cold steel bench in the holding cell they were in.

Beca just sat down and waited for a miracle. It felt like hours of waiting but in reality 10 minutes had only passed when they heard the bell hanging on the door of the station ring alerting the people that someone had entered the building. Beca looked up from the floor and she saw flaming red hair.

"Chlo?" Beca said in a hushed sort of voice.

Chloe turned at the mention of her name and there she saw Beca seated on a steel bench. She made her way towards the brunette but was stopped by one of the police men working the night shift. She heard the guy apologising but it didn't register with her. She was worried about her Beca. Her Beca. Damn it Beale pull yourself together. Think of what your parents would do to you. But you love her. Yes okay. I love her. That's why I'm here.

"Miss?"

Chloe was snapped out of her thoughts.

"I'm here to bail those two out. Just tell me how much."

"500 for each ma'm"

"You've got to be kidding me. This can't even be legal." Chloe argued. "You don't even the proper evidence against these two. I mean seriously? didn't you see the scramblers? Ever thought of running after the real guilty parties?" Chloe eye's looked like they could kill you. They were a darker shade of blue that Beca was totally sure that she never wanted to see on the redhead's face ever again. The campus police was at a loss for words but was able to stutter out a rules are rules ma'm.

Beca just rolled her eyes at the fat cop who cuffed her and Jesse.

"Just bail me out first if you can Beale. I can cough up the cash for my bro and I'll pay you the 500 back right away." Beca said clearly becoming more agitated with the way the cop was treating her Chloe. Well shit. MY Chloe huh.

"Becs..."

"It's fine if you can't Chlo promise." Beca said lightly to the redhead giving her a small smile.

Chloe sighed. "Where's the nearest ATM?" the cop the directed her towards a small cubicle near the entrance of the station. Chloe came back with $1000 and paid for both of them.

"You didn't have to bail me out too Chloe. I am a Treble after all." Jesse said guiltily. They were sorting out their things since they were held in one plastic bag.

"It's okay Jesse. I don't have anything against Trebles like Aubrey does. Just your asshole of a front man." Chloe then walked over to Beca and immediately pulled the tiny DJ into her arms and held her close.

"Hey Chlo...It's okay. I'm okay." Beca said to the taller woman. Wrapping her arms around Chloe's waist and rubbing circles on her back. Chloe let her go and gave her a slight nod. Beca saw her eyes though. She also saw the stray tear rolling down her cheek. She wiped it away with her thumb and brought Chloe in for another hug and whispered into the seniors' ear. "Thanks Chlo." I love you.

"Becaw...Isn't that your dad's car?"

"Shit. Who called him?!"

"Definitely neither of us Becs but I have an idea on who would." Chloe said bitterly. Aubrey.

The three made their way to Beca's father. He was shocked to see his daughter already bailed out and was more shocked to see that there were other people with her. They never spoke unless really necessary so he never knew that she had made friends. The girl who called him up definitely didn't sound like a friend since there was a whole lot of hostility in her voice. He schooled his features. He was first and foremost a father. He needed to discipline his daughter. Even if she thought that he doesn't have the right to.

"I get a call in the middle of the night saying my daughter was getting arrested for destruction of property?! Seriously Beca! Are you even trying to fit in? Be I don't know normal?! I get that you're gay everything about you screams it! But pulling stunts like this?! If you think you're getting away from here after that then you're wrong!" He didn't wait for an explanation. Just motioned for the three to get in the car. None of them moved.

"You know what dad. I didn't break that glass window. Get your facts straight. Oh and if you think that you can ground me here or scold me or slap my ass then you're wrong. Remember. You were the one that walked out on us. You were the one who wanted nothing more to do with me until I was dumped on your doorstep one night. You have no fucking right to judge me or be my father. Oh and one last thing. They were keeping us there illegally. Might want to check that out first huh." Beca then stalked away her two companions following suit. They hailed a cab and made their way back to Barden. Beca paid for the ride once they got back. Jesse want back to his dorm promising to pay Chloe tomorrow morning.

"Hey..." Chloe reached for Beca's hand and intertwined their fingers. She was quiet during the ride back. They were now walking towards Beca's dorm since it was closer than going all the way to Chloe and Aubrey's apartment.

Beca breathed in and out deeply trying to control her temper. Normally she would be at the gym right about now to blow off some steam but the gym was closed by now and when Chloe laced their fingers together she could feel her anger ebbing away. Beca faced Chloe and looked into her bright shining crystal blue eyes.

"I'm okay red. Promise." She gave Chloe one of her signature smirks. Chloe tugged on her lightly and pulled her into a warm embrace.

"Becs...I'll always be here for you okay? I promise" Chloe whispered into Beca's ear.

"I know red. Thank you. I mean it. You really are one of a kind red. Bulldozing your way right into the walls I have so carefully built up around me but I wouldn't have it any other way." Beca whispered back to Chloe. They held onto each other for a bit longer. lingering as they slowly parted. They continued their walk to Beca's dorm room. Once they opened the door they were both shocked to find the Bella's there. Beca was because she never thought that they cared that much about her. Chloe because she never thought Aubrey was serious about waiting for Beca although she did call her father. There was something more to this and she was always right about these things.

They were bombarded with questions and light banter until Aubrey decided to once again dampen the spirits and mood of her troops I mean singers. She ranted and preached about doing everything exactly as they rehearsed and wouldn't listen to Beca's suggestion about making a new set list and incorporating her now known DJ skills. They were in her room so it was all out in the open now. When the Bella's were dismissed Aubrey stayed by the door waiting for Chloe to go home with her. The redhead refused saying she was still mad at the blonde.

"Hey Chlo...You okay?" Beca reached for Chloe's hand holding it in hers and squeezing it lightly to reassure the senior that she was here for her.

"Yeah..it's just...Bree and I kind of fought before I went and got you and Jesse out of there." Chloe was sitting on the edge of Beca's bed and Beca was kneeling in-front of her looking at her friend more like the love of her life with concern.

"You wanna talk about it in detail or...?"

"It's okay Becs. Bree will figure it out. She was the one in the wrong anyway."

"Okay Chlo but remember I am always here for you"

Chloe smiled at the brunette. "I know Becs. I know."

"Now let's get you outta that ridiculously hot outfit you have on and into something equally as hot but really comfy as well hmm?" Beca said jokingly trying to lighten up the mood.

Chloe couldn't help but giggle at her friends' antics. She was handed a loose fitting shirt and a pair of shorts. Chloe stripped down to her underwear and was aware of a certain brunette's eyes on her while she stripped down and dressed up. "Hope you enjoyed the show Becs." Chloe winked at her and saw that the brunette's face was red. Really red. Chloe giggled again and placed a kiss on her cheek. "Calm down Becs. Besides it's your turn to give me a show. It's nothing I haven't seen before anyway."

Beca's breathed hitched in her throat. She was getting really turned on by how Chloe was behaving right now and she needed to cool down or control herself. "R-r-r-r-right. uhhhh." smooth Mitchel. Just smooth. Beca mentally berated herself. She heard Chloe giggling once again, It was the sweetest sound she ever heard and she wanted to be the cause of Chloe's happiness and laughter. "Alright Beale get ready for a show. I am pretty confident about all this anyway." Beca said gesturing to her body much like what Chloe did when she barged into her shower. Chloe laughed out loud this time and Beca couldn't help the huge smile form on her lips.

Once they were ready for bed the two laid down side by side. Chloe began tossing and turning. She couldn't sleep. She was tired from the days' drama and activities but she just couldn't fall right to sleep. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her and pull her close to Beca. Beca then nuzzled into the crook of Chloe's neck breathing in the redheads scent. Chloe felt calmer and much more relaxed now that she was wrapped in Beca's arms. Soon both girls were fast asleep.
