Chapter 8
If you love them and they love you, they will always find you.
– Mary Margaret, Once Upon A Time
"Hey." You breathe. "I was looking for you. I wanted to give you something before you leave."
"And what would that be?" Chloe raised an eyebrow.
"Here." You hand her an usb stick. "Don't listen to it before you get on the plane."
"Beca" Chloe eyed you suspiciously when she accepted the gift. "Is this what I think it is?"
"Well, I don't know what you think, but I do know that it contains all of my new mixes, including some song ideas for the Bellas."
"Woah, Becs I- I don't know what to say." Chloe looked surprised for a moment but her eyes were soft. "Thank you."
"No problem. I just wanted you to have something to be occupied with on your flight. It really is no problem."
"Well it means something to me." And she pulled you in a hug.
"When do you have to leave?" you ask her once you both let go.
"In a few hours. I'm almost done with packing."
"Let me help. We can hang out after? I'll even drive you to the airport." You don't know where this sudden kindness comes from, but you ignore it. Chloe is literally buzzing and bouncing on her feet, like a little kid expressing its happiness.
"How could I ever refuse such an offer? Let me order pizza!"
"Eugh, you always seem to read my mind."
Xx
The pizza arrived when Chloe was halfway done with packing. It wasn't that the pizza took so long to arrive, it was Chloe who took so long to pack.
– "Okay Becs, what about this dress?" "You look fine, Chlo." "You said that with the last three dresses…" "That's because you do look good in it. How many times do you plan to go out anyways?" you laughed. "The dress you are wearing right now. Take that one with you. You look the most beautiful in this one. Not that you look less beautiful in something else." You blush. Chloe blushed too, but the comment did earn you a peck on the cheek. –
"Okay, let's go to my dad's." you say when Chloe is done and the pizza was consumed.
Chloe looks weird at you, so you explain further. "I'm dropping you off at the airport remember? I can borrow my dad's car."
Chloe makes a look of realization. "Well let's go then."

After Beca dropped me off at the airport – not before giving me a hug and telling me to behave myself – I got ready for my plane, which boarded in half an hour. Unfortunately, Beca already had to leave by then. Jesse had texted her a reminder of their weekly moviecation. So, I was on my own for now. I felt in my pocket to make sure the usb stick Beca gave me was still there. I smiled at the thought of Beca making me a usb with all her new mixes on it. The butterflies escaped from their cage inside my stomach and I had to take a deep breath because I felt so fuzzy.
It was certainly my most favorite gift that I had ever received.
Beca knows how much I appreciate her music, as I have told her a bazillion times before. I actually felt so honored when she told me I was the first person she ever showed her music to. Not even her parents, she said. Beca isn't really close to her parents.
Beca even told me she was working on some original songs and beats, if she ever got a job as a DJ. She said that she was just messing around and experimenting and it was nothing serious yet, but seriously. It already sounded amazing. Yes, she showed the originals too.
The voice through the intercom pulled me back to the present. The plane to Tampa was planning to leave and all the passengers should head over. I gathered my stuff and left.

Chlo-bear: Hi. Just wanted to let you know I landed safely, in a cab rn xo
Munchkin: Awesome. How was your flight? Xx
Chlo-bear: it was ok. No turbulence fortunately. Just listened to your music. ITS SO GOOD BECS
Munchkin: My number one fan :) guess you liked my gift ? haha glad everything went so smoothly
Munchkin: It's not even one day and it's already boring without u :(
Chlo-bear: awh becs I miss you too :)
Munchkin: whatever chlo :P I should probably stop texting, u are with your family and I'm with jesse, he's getting sad because his favourite character died -_-
Chlo-bear: u guys watching a movie?
Chlo-bear: have fun hehehe :)
Munchkin: byeeeeee chloeeeeeee
Munchkin: tell your family I said hi!
Chlo-bear: will do! :D
Jesse delivered me serious mood swings. I tried to play it cool, just so that Beca didn't notice, but it wasn't easy. The last time I slipped she thought I was jealous of her. That's hilarious because it's the other way around. I don't want Beca to think that I like her boyfriend or something. He is disgusting, with his dumbass smile and clingy flirting. For serious, who says to a girl that they are going to have children together when it's only the third time they meet?
But who jumps stark naked in somebody else's shower when it's only the second time they meet?
Touché Chloe.
Well, it is not the entire truth. I did jump into that shower, but it wasn't to flirt. Okay, maybe that is not true either. I mean, winking?
But, despite the many glances, I didn't make a move on her.
Maybe I should have.
Go fuck yourself Chloe.
The past is the past and you can't change that.
I thought about my deal with Aubrey and sighed because I know I still had to tell Beca about my feelings.
I thought about what I thought to myself when we made the deal.
You can't break a heart that's already broken.
When I'm going to tell her is still an unanswered question, but I'm not backing down.

"Mom! Dad!" I exclaimed as soon as I saw them. The door was hardly open when I pushed my way into the house and scooped them up in my bone crushing bear hug.
"How are you Chloe?" my mom asked as we made our way into the living room.
"I'm okay. Not great to be honest, but okay. I'll be fine." Knowing my parents, I could always talk to them to get something off my chest, but I don't really wanted to talk about something today. That something being the Beca-thing.
"Oh, honey, what happened?"
"It's okay mom. Just tired. Competitions tire you, you know?"
"Yes! Congratulations Chloe." My dad complimented me.
"Thank you dad. The girls were amazing! But we couldn't have done it without Beca, she created the set list. I say she's a legend, but she just won't believe me."
"Who is this Beca-girl?" my mom asked out of curiosity.
I ignored it, not wanting to get deeper into the subject. Fortunately, we were interrupted my younger brother.
"Chloe c'mere you Acapella girl!" my younger brother came down the stairs with much noise. He is 17 after all, so I suppose that's normal.
He also received a bone crushing bear hug. We all sat down again and started to catch up.

"Good morning guys." I greeted them as I walked into the dining room with my head still in dreamland.
"Good morning Chlo." my brother greeted me back.
"You slept in quite late, dear." My mom remarked. "Are you tired?" I nodded. "Not anymore. Sleep really does wonders."
Dad chuckled. "Knowing you, normally you don't sleep that much." That's true. I am a night and morning person. Sometimes not the best combination.
Just as I sat down, the doorbell rang. "Are you expecting someone?" I ask.
"No, not that I'm aware of." My mom replies. She leaves the dining room to open the door.
"Hello, can I help you?"
"Hi. Are you Mrs. Beale?"
A/N: uh oh. What do you think will happen next? Let me know!
