Catch me When I fall

"You're in love with Red" Stacie stated pointing to Beca. "I'm in-love with Aubrey" She said pointing to herself.

"Stacie no matter how many times we do this nothing's going to change." Beca told her best friend.

"I know you sang to her."

"Where's your proof Conrad?" Beca dared.

"Sitting right next to you genius. Plus we know your voice Mitchel. You outed yourself to all the Bella's. I thought for sure that Chloe would've just kissed you while you were practically serenading her on stage that night. Plus I need your help with Aubrey. I need your Skills so to speak."

"Elaborate."

"I want to do something for Aubrey...like what you did for Chloe...I just need a way to tell her how I feel without actually telling her that 'hey! it's me! I love you!' sort of thing...Do you get me?"

"Nope not really. Plus I know that Chloe is straight. Aubrey has a stick up her ass. So no luck on your part too Conrad."

"You're both clueless." Stacie and Beca snap their head towards Jesse.

"Excuse me?!" Exclaimed both girls.

"Well first off it's so obvious that Chloe is into Becaw. I'm not sure about Aubrey though. She's a tough chick to crack but if I wanted to find out if a girl is into me then I'd just straight up ask. It's as simple as that. Secondly you're not out yet. Well not to your captains so the whole dedicating thing to Aubrey wouldn't garner her attention. Just tell them! What's so wrong with that? or better yet just Ask them out straight up! Geez!"

"Not in our world Jesse. Things are not as straight up as you would like to think. It's kind of delicate. Well we need to do stuff delicately and precisely, not just 'Do it'. Besides If they were 100% straight we could potentially sabotage our friendships!" Stacie hissed.

Beca thought for a moment. Looking back to when Aubrey and her had that stupid argument and she was outed so to speak. "I don't think they'll be that peeved that we're gay. I mean they know I'm gay and they're okay with it. I mean Chloe is okay with it. Aubrey is indifferent. As long as I'm doing my Bella duties she doesn't care. Do they know you're gay Stacie?"

"C.R knows. She caught me doing...stuff...with...yeah...let's not talk about that yeah...? but other than her, you and your lesbro and the occasional fling...nope. No one else knows. I think."

"You hooked up?! with who?! When? Dude that's like hot! g on g action!"

Jesse received 3 blows to his family jewels right after that comment. "I...was...kidding...guys...!" He was doubled over holding onto his manhood and his boys.

"Well if you weren't such a perve then we wouldn't be hitting you now would we?" Stacie said.

"I'm not even going to give you a hand here lesbro. That was a dick move. Be thankful I only got one shot at you. I hit harder than Stacie after all."

"s-s-s-sooorrryyyy!" Jesse was crying now.

*Titanium plays softly in the background*

"That would be Chloe...hold on guys and shush" Beca motioned for them to keep quiet while she answered her phone.

"Hey Chlo...Sorry I wasn't there when you woke up...Stacie texted me about a thing...well it was important to her not me...Did you see my note?" Beca was talking softly and kind of sweetly to Chloe. The other two in Stacie's room were making gag motions. Beca just glared at them.

"Hey...I was wondering where you went off to...Yeah...I saw it...That was really sweet Becs...Who knew the Bad Ass DJ had a softer side eh?" Chloe giggled.

"Only you Chlo...Anyway...want me to come back? We could hang? or I dunno...Let me make it up to you? You know the whole me leaving you in my room? It's cool though if you totally want to like blow me off or something You do have a boyfriend who I still want to strangle for the whole no phone while on dates or hanging out...I mean seriously who does that? I mean-" Beca didn't want to seem like she was desperate to keep the redhead company. She didn't want her feelings for Chloe to become too obvious for the redhead. She wasn't ready.

Chloe's laughter cut her off.

"Stop rambling Becs!" Chloe said jovially. " How about we get lunch? I'm starving. Can I borrow some clothes? I kinda need to freshen up for our lunch date."

For some reason Beca knew that Chloe winked right after that.

"Oh and yeah you totally couldn't see it but I just totes winked at you. Now come on and hurry back!" Chloe said in a singsong voice and giggled right after. Her voice was sweet sweet music to Beca's ears.

"Sooooo guys..."

"We got it. We'll talk later after your 'Date' with Red" Stacie said smiling at Beca while doing air quotes. "Just make sure you're aware that this is just as friends thing..." She then added a little bit worried for her best friend.

"I know Stacie...I just wished...-"

"We know Becaw..." Jesse then gave her an awkward pat while Stacie hugged her tight.

"Well I'm off!" Beca gave her friends a salute before heading back to her dorm.

... ... ... ...

Chloe woke up her hands feeling for the other occupant of the bed. She felt cold and was wondering why hence the groping session of the bed. When her hands couldn't find Beca she decided to take a peak. Beca probably left to get a shower or something. She shifted and sat upright on the bed. She noticed a folded note on Beca's desk addressed to her.

Hey there sleeping beauty!

Sorry you had to wake up alone or worse with Kimmy Jin lingering in the room. Stacie texted me saying that she needed me for something urgent. I highly doubt it though but still I could never say no to the girl who cried wolf who knows right? Call me when you get up alright? If you need me to I'll always come back here for you no matter what...okay that just sounded too sweet and caring let's change that yeah? Screw you Red sleep all you want I don't care. Stay or leave your choice...God Why do I suck at this when I talk to you? Seriously you're a bad influence on me Red...Well I'm out! Sleep tight Sleeping beauty.

P.S. You drool.

P.P.S Kidding. Don't kill me.

Becs

Chloe shook her head at her friend's antics. It was sweet of her to leave a note but Chloe found that she was disappointed that Beca had left her there. It wasn't the first time but this feeling never really did go away those other days either. She wanted to see Beca when she woke up from their naps or their sleepovers. She wanted to feel Beca's warmth. Her arms wrapped around her. She needed to stop thinking like right now. She's with Tom. But she doesn't love him. She needed to do a lot of thinking now. First things first. She needed her DJ fix today. She called up Beca and was actually surprised when Beca was the one who initiated the whole her coming back thing. That was a first. Chloe didn't dwell on it too much though. She just filed it away for later. She got up to rummage about Beca's clothes and found a Green and Black plaid shirt and Denim shorts. She took the clothes and Beca's shower stuff to the co-ed showers not before leaving the brunette a note just in-case she arrived and she wasn't there.

... ... ... ...

Beca arrived at her dorm in less than 10 minutes. Stacie did live in the same dorm anyway plus it was only one floor up so yeah easy peasy. She knocked on her door. Weird. She lived here why would she knock. Oh well maybe because one time she just barged into her own dorm room she found a half naked Chloe looking through her clothes trying to pick something that would fit. She slowly opened her door when no reply came. She peaked through the small gap making sure that there was no half naked redhead in the room. Seeing as Chloe wasn't there at all Beca entered her room and found a note with her name taped onto her monitor. Beca would usually get peeved if people put any kind of mark on her computer but since this was Chloe she'd make an exception for a few mishaps. Not all the time mind you. She took the note and cleaned the stain the tape left on her monitor.

Hey Mister DJ!

Crap! Miss DJ!

I actually don't know which one of those you'd prefer. I just went for a quickie! not what your dirty little mind is thinking btw. I just went for a quick wash be back sooon! xoxoxo

Chl

Beca sat down and powered up her I-pod. She scrolled through her music and went to her personal mix playlist. These were newer mixes that she made all dedicated to one redhead. Her eyes were closed and her head was bobbing along with the music. This was what Chloe walked into. Beca head banging and humming to whatever was playing on her I-pod. Her headphones secured on her head. Fingers tapping her thighs. Chloe was starring. She knew it but she couldn't help herself. Beca was adorable. She could feel a smile creep up her face as she tiptoed closer to the brunette. She went behind the chair Beca was seated in wrapped her arms around the brunette's neck and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

If Chloe were honest with herself she wanted to kiss Beca so badly on the lips right now. But Chloe Beale was no cheater and she didn't even know why she was getting these urges for the brunette. She mentally shook away those thoughts. Beca was leaning into her. She raised her right eye brow at her friend' action. Her eyes were still closed.

Chloe decided that Beca was in a whole different world right now. She slipped the headphones off of Beca and the said girl was then cured from her trance like state.

"Hey Red...Been waiting long?" Beca smirked. Chloe melted a little bit more inside. Why was this happening to her. She needed to get herself together.

"Nope!" Chloe smiled brightly. Almost blinding Beca with how bright she can make a room with her mega watt smile.

"So...How do I look in your clothes Becs? Hot I hope?" She continues, giving the younger woman a playful wink as she twirls for her friend.

Beca's breath was caught in her throat. Chloe looked really sexy. Those legs looked like they could go on and on. She was eyeing the redhead up and down and it didn't actually register in her mind that Chloe was very much aware of Beca's wandering eyes. Chloe was not stopping her. In-fact Chloe loved seeing the brunette looking at her like that. It wasn't just lust filled like Tom. There was something else in Beca's eyes.

"So..." Chloe said dragging out the word snapping Beca back to reality.

"Right. Let's go hot stuff!" Beca said winking at the redhead while grabbing her hand and dragging her out of her dorm. They continued walking hand in hand towards a small cafe close to Beca's dorm. They'd go here sometimes if they were too lazy to head to Doinky's or to the redhead's other favorite cafe just a little ways outside of campus. They sat in a booth at the very back of the cafe.

"Why'd you leave? I mean I get that Stacie wanted you over and all that...but I guess I dunno...never mind..." Chloe said in a near whisper. They were looking through the menu and the redhead couldn't help herself.

"I didn't want to. Believe me. I really like waking up next to you...I-I-I- just meant that you're so warm and stuff that I sleep easier when I have you as a sleeping buddy ya know?" Shit that was close I just hope she believes the whole pathetic cover. Beca mentally slapped herself.

"I really like waking up next to you too Becs. Can I be honest with you?" Chloe's leaning closer towards the brunette now. "You make me fe-" Chloe was cut short when she saw a familiar looking face enter the Diner. Tom. Shit what the hell is he doing here? I thought that he had a class right now?

Beca noticed Chloe tense up and looked to where the redhead was starring at. She saw Tom. They both also saw another girl enter right after him. He put his arm around the girl' shoulder and held her close to him. Beca kept averting her eyes back to Chloe trying to gauge her reaction.

Tom entered the diner with one of his booty calls so to speak. He was pretty confident about not getting caught 'cause let's face it he never did get caught by the redhead since she was all too trusting. What he didn't count on was that the redhead would also be there. He didn't notice them. He just flirted and kissed and practically made out with the girl while they sat down at a booth. It wasn't until Chloe decided to just stand up and walk towards his table that he noticed that the redhead was there and he knew he was about to get shit handed to him. He was too stunned to move.

Chloe had enough. She put down the menu she was gripping tight in her hands. She motioned for Beca to give her room to stand and she headed towards her soon to be ex-boyfriend. Beca followed Chloe closely behind. She didn't want the redhead to face this all by herself but she felt that she needed to at least make a stand on her own at first. She'll swoop in if necessary.

"What the hell Tom?" Chloe said in a tight, calm and collected voice. This was never a good sign. Beca winced at the tone.

"Chloe babe! I can explain!" Tom tried feebly.

"No. I heard the rumors. I was warned by my friends. Even shown pictures that I made myself believe that were just photo shopped. We're over Tom." Chloe then made a move to head out the door but Tom had stood up and grabbed her by her wrist.

"You don't get to break up with me you slut. The only reason why I felt the need to hook up with other girls was because you never put out as much as they do. You're too picky to when you want to have sex and you always want it slow. 'Making Love' as you prefer to call it. You're a tease Red. No guy wants something like that. You're too much of a -" But he was silenced by a mean right hook by a tiny brunette woman.

"Dude seriously. You're so not painting a good picture of yourself there. So just shut the fuck up you idiot. You fucked up big time. Chloe is way better of without you. She deserves someone better."

"Oh yeah? Someone like you maybe you little dyke? Yeah I hear stuff too. So Chloe tell me. You'd prefer a dyke rather than a dick then? Does it feel better?"

*Crack*

Tom held onto his face where his nose was bleeding out bad. He was glaring at the tiny brunette.

"I told you to shut the fuck up."

The girl tom had with him was clearly thinking straight now and struggled with helping Tom out of the diner. Beca's hand was beginning to bruise now. She hadn't needed to beat someone in a very long time. She felt soft hands enclose her bruising ones. She looked up to Chloe.

"Becs..." Chloe was close to tears. Bega tugged her closer to her and hugged the redhead around her waist. Chloe rested her head against Beca's shoulder and began crying. Beca could feel the tears drop onto her clothes and she moved one hand to rub soothing circles around the seniors' back.

"Shhh...It's okay Chlo...Come on...Let's just head back yeah?" Beca whispered into Chloe's ear. The redhead only nodded in approval. Beca created a little bit of space between them. She cupped Chloe's face with both hands and tried wiping away the tears that were still flowing freely down the redhead's cheeks. Her brows were furrowed in concentration trying to get every tear trailing down and Chloe couldn't help but smirk at how adorable Beca was being. Beca saw the small smirk. Well my awkward idiocy is working i guess.

"Let's see that mega watt smile now eh Red? Put the sun in sunshine? Too cheesy?"

Chloe giggled softly. She looked into Beca's eyes. There was that spark again. She could feel the butterflies fluttering again. Why does Beca have this effect on me? She just nuzzled once more into Beca's shoulder squeezed her tight one last time before gathering up her wits and then leading Beca out of there and back to her dorm. When they got back inside Beca's dorm Chloe took off her shoes and crawled underneath Beca's blanket. Beca followed her.

When Chloe felt the dip in the bed she turned to face Beca. She once again saw that spark in Beca's eyes and she's pretty sure she could see the same mirrored in her own but what was this? She had thought that love wouldn't feel this complicated. This conflicting. Maybe because she never felt like this for a girl before. Maybe this was because of how uncertain she was about how her parents would react. They were church goers after all.

"I can feel the cogs turning in your head red...What's on your mind?" Beca said while stretching her arms out inviting Chloe to cuddle.

"Nothing..."Chloe lied. Beca knew it but she wouldn't push the redhead after what she's been through today. Chloe snuggled into Beca's warm embrace. They didn't know how long they had stayed tangled in each others' embrace but soon enough their breathing evened out and they were sound asleep.

*Grrrrrr...*

Chloe stirred. There was a gurgling sound coming from somewhere.

*Grrrrrrr...rrrrrr...*

Chloe the strained her ears to try to follow the sound. When she found that it came from Beca's stomach a fond smile formed on her lips. She positioned herself so that her head was resting on the brunettes chest. One hand was stroking the freshman's' stomach while the other was playing with her fingers.

"Becs...?"

*Silence*

Chloe then shifted herself once again. She was now lying down sideways. She was stroking Beca's soft brown locks. Alternating between that and tracing lines along her jaw.

"Beca..." Still nothing.

Chloe leaned down to place a kiss on the corner of Beca's lips. Beca's eyes began to flutter open. Once again Chloe felt that this was right. This felt so right. Unbeknownst to her, Beca was feeling the same thing.

"Hey there sleeping beauty...We should really grab a bite...Your stomach woke me" Chloe said with a big smile plastered on her face that even she wasn't aware of.

"Hmmmm...What time is it Chlo?" Beca asked rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

Chloe checked her phone and saw that it was 8:00 in the evening. they haven't eaten anything since their day began. No wonder Beca's stomach was in a riot. She stretched and showed Beca the time on her phone. Upon seeing the time the brunette scrambled out of bed and practically carried the redhead to her car and they drove off to Doinky's Cafe. The redhead was giggling all throughout the little debacle. Once they got inside they were showed to their usual table and had just placed their orders. They needn't check out the menu. They knew what they wanted. Their orders arrived shortly after. Chloe ordered a club sandwich and a strawberry milkshake while Beca ordered a double cheeseburger with a side of extra fries and a vanilla milkshake.

"Becs..."

"Hmmmm?" Beca was munching on her fries and looked up to Chloe. She could see that Chloe was struggling to say something and knew that this wasn't very characteristic of the redhead so she reached out to hold the redheads' hand. The song playing in the background right now was Ill be by Edwin McCain. This will forever be tattooed in Beca's heart, mind and soul. She began rubbing circles on the back of the redheads hand in comfort and reassurance.

"Thanks...Th-Th-That's all...I- No That's it." Chloe wasn't looking at her. She knew there was something else the redhead wanted to say. They were almost both done eating now. She nodded her head let go of the redhead's hand and she stood up asking Chloe to wait for her for a bit. She didn't wait for a response. She went to the cashier and paid for their meal. They were the only ones left in the Diner now. She asked if they could dim the lights a bit and turn up the music. Before the song could end Beca reached her hand out to for Chloe to take.

"Come on red. I know you love to dance. I just prefer these slow things since I have two left feet." Chloe smiled and accepted Beca's offer. They were soon swaying slowly even long after the music had ended. Chloe sighed into the younger woman's shoulder.

"Come on red...tell me what's on your mind. You're terrible at keeping stuff locked up and you know you can tell me anything."

"Catch me Becs..." Beca and Chloe were now looking into each other's eyes. They were leaning in slowly. They both wanted this to happen for so long now. Beca felt her lips brush against Chloe's for the first time and it sent electricity shooting through her spine. Her hands moved to cup Chloe's face and to hold her neck to bring her closer. Chloe's lips parted and Beca swiped her tongue on Chloe's lower lip. Asking for permission to enter. Chloe moaned softly at the contact and parted her lips a bit more to allow Beca access. Their tongues danced around. Not in the ridiculously overly gross way but in a sweet sensual manner. They only parted once they needed to breathe.

"You know I will...over and over again if I have to..."

Chloe smiled and leaned in to give Beca another kiss. She stopped abruptly though. She just broke up with Tom. She shouldn't be doing this.

"I know what you're thinking Beale. Don't you regret this for one second. If I need to wait then I will. I know this was too fast and all spur of the moment and you probably don't even-" She was silenced by another kiss.

"Sssshhh. You're right in what I was thinking but if you think that I don't feel anything for you then you're wrong. You made me feel something and it feels great, I swear but this IS going too fast. Whatever this is. I like it. No wait I LOVE it. Just...give me time...please...this is all new to me." Chloe leaned her forehead against Beca's.

"Anything for you Chlo..."

Beca then lead them to her car and she drove Chloe to her and Aubrey's apartment. Once Chloe was safely inside her place Beca drove off back to her dorm. She went in her room got changed for bed and slipped under her blanket. She glanced towards Kimmy Jin's side and was unsurprised to not see the Asian girl there. She sighed and tried feebly to get some sleep. She was tossing and turning. 20 min had passed since she got back and yet she still couldn't sleep.

*knock*

I wonder who this could be at this time. Jeeze if this is Jesse for another moviecation then I'll-,

"Chlo? What are you-" Chloe shut her up by placing a finger on her lips.

"I couldn't sleep. Do you mind if I..."

"No! Not at all! Come here you before I change my mind." Beca said playfully. She interlocked their fingers as she lead Chloe to her bed. She wrapped her arms around the seniors waist and pulled her flush against her body and in an instant sleep overcame the two of them.
