I. AM. SO. SORRY. Holy moly guacamoly. Has it been a MONTH?! No words could describe how sorry I am for not uploading.

I hope that this chapter makes it up for the long wait ;)

Chapter 10

Under the moonlight / within your warm embrace / I feel so safe here / you were worth the wait / I picked the wrong kind time after time / but you're all right / I've seen the light / so take me in your arms / take me for all I have / 'cause I'd give my life for one of your belly laughs / the war has been won here / under your moonlit gaze / I know that I'd take one million bullets babe / one million bullets could come my way / how many would you take? / 'cause I'd take one million bullets babe - Sia

Tom: Hey there Chloe. I know we haven't spoken in a while but I wanted to let you know that things have worked out well between me and my girl.

Tom: yes, you read that right, she's officially my girl now.

Tom: how are you and Beca? Progress?

Chloe: Nice Tom :) Glad it worked out! Sorry we haven't talked for a while, lot on my mind rn :( Beca is actually here rn, in Tampa. Surprise visit :)

"Who are you texting?"

Chloe: Sorry it's Becs, I have to go

"Chloe! Who are you texting?" Beca sounded more urgent now.

"Becs, it's just Tom." I say.

"Why were you smiling like an idiot then?" Does somebody sound jealous? I shrug it off.

"Because he finally got his girl!" I let out an excited squeak. And because the conversation was about Beca.

"That's cool. Congratulate him for me?"

Chloe: Beca sends her congratulations!

Tom: have fun :) tell her I said thanks

"Tom says thanks."

"How is Jesse doing?" ugh, I hate being polite. Do you really think I'm interested in if the fucker is doing alright? Please.

"He's okay. Speaking of Jesse, I still have to text him I'm here."

"What, he doesn't know?"

"No… I kinda left in a whim."

Beca pulls out her phone and sends a text.

Girlfriend: hey jess, not to make you scared or some shit, I'm actually in Tampa rn

Jesse: BECA WHAT THE HELL

"He's losing his shit." Beca announces.

Jesse: BECA?

Jesse: you don't have family in Tampa so why the sudden leave?

Girlfriend: yeah I don't have family there but chlo does

Girlfriend: relax I'll be back in a few days

Jesse: why are you with Chloe?

Girlfriend: jess, she's my best friend

Jesse: a best friend still can fancy you

Girlfriend: what's that supposed to mean?

Jesse: it means that I know what she's up to

"Becs, are you alright? You look red…"

"I'm fine. Frustrated but fine."

"Eugh, Jesse is calling. Wait a sec." Beca picks up her phone. "Jesse, stop saying shit. It's not true." Beca points to the bathroom, indicating that she continues her conversation in there.

What was that all about?

xx

"It very is true. Don't think I haven't noticed the way she looks at you."

"Jesse for fucks sake what is your problem?" you ask very irritated. You swear the boy is paranoid.

"Why do you keep defending her?"

"Because she isn't up to something! I know her Jess, when she's up to something she acts different. This is just Chloe being Chloe."

"Yeah well maybe that's the problem."

"I don't want to talk to you right now Jesse. Come back when you think you can behave mature enough."

"Fine. We're over then."

A beep indicated that the call was disconnected. You need to lose your frustration, so you kick against the bathroom door. Chloe's knock is heard in an instant, her light voice could be faintly heard through the door.

You open the door for her and she finds you with a beet red head full of frustration and clenched fists.

"Oh Beca sweetie." She drapes her arm around you and guides you to her bed.

"He broke up with me." You say numb. Chloe squeezes you tighter against her. You feel the sudden urge to lay your head on her shoulder, so you do just that. Chloe immediately combs her fingers through your hear. It feels nice and your eyelids start to droop.

"The weird thing is that I don't even care. I don't regret having that conversation with him."

"Why not?"

"He was saying shit about you. I told him to back off and that he could come back when he was mature enough. Then he broke up."

"That asshole." Chloe said. "You deserve better, Becs."

"Come on, let's watch a movie." You suggest.

"But-" Chloe tried to protest.

"Ah, no buts. I don't mind watching them with you, remember?"

Xx

"It's stupid actually that in movies the guy always gets the girl."

Chloe chuckles. "You think so?"

"Yeah." You say. "Maybe it's time the girl gets the girl." And with that, you capture Chloe's lips in a kiss. It took a moment for Chloe to respond, but then she's kissing back just as fiercely.

You pull away after awhile when you both run out of breath.

"Chloe, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that."

"Becs –"

"I know we agreed it wouldn't happen again and I'm so sorry."

"Becs –"

"I don't know what is happening to me, but I feel things when I'm with you that I really shouldn't and –"

"Beca! It's okay, I'm not mad!"

"Oh." You say once you realize you have probably said too much. "I have to go."

"Beca, wait! I said I'm not mad!"

"I know and it makes this situation ten times better, but it's the second time I kissed you and I don't know when will be the last."

Goddammit Mitchell, keep your fucking mouth shut for once in your life.

"I'm going for a walk." You say before you storm downstairs. The last thing Chloe hears is the front door falling shut with a loud bang.

Xx

I panic, because Beca is gone. Going for a walk, but where? She doesn't know the area. She could be lost. I know that I have to give her space, but I have to call her. I just want to know if she's okay.

Somewhere in the room, I hear her ringtone.

Great. Beca forgot her phone.

As I step out of the house, a heavy summer rain is pouring down. I didn't grab my jacket. And honestly, I didn't care one bit about that.

Xx

You wander around, really not knowing where you are going. You consider calling Chloe – and sucking up your pride – when it begins to rain, but you came to realize you left your phone at her place. And the rain isn't the only problem now. You have been wandering around for so long now that you are lost. Completely, utterly lost.

You look around you and you see a lake. You didn't even know you were out of town. You lean your back against a tree, at least you get some protection against the rain. You watch as the raindrops hit the surface of the lake. It's really satisfying to see and you get lost in your thoughts.

Jesse broke up with you. You sought comfort, you needed comfort. In that moment, Chloe was the only one to give you that comfort. She is the only one you wanted comfort from. So you sought that comfort from her.

But did you kiss her because you wanted to, or did you just needed the comfort ?

Isn't that the same thing?

You said it yourself, Chloe is the only one you wanted the comfort from.

Shit…

You wanted to kiss Chloe.

Xx

It has been hours and still no sign of Beca. I don't know where to look anymore. It hasn't stopped raining and it's going to be dark out there soon, but I don't want to go home. A small voice in my head says that maybe Beca is already home, but a feeling in my gut tells me otherwise. I just need to think for a while. I know one place where I always used to go when I needed to think. It was like my own getaway.

As I walk, my mind starts wondering. Why did Beca kiss me? Not that I'm complaining, but why? She just broke up with Jesse. My thoughts are cut off by my sight. Because there is somebody here, in my thinking place, where no one has ever come before. I walk towards the figure, sitting on the ground.

"Hey." I say as I approach them.

Xx

"Hey."

Your head whips around and somebody stands next to you. You could recognize that voice anywhere.

"Chloe?" you sound surprised.

"Becs?!" Chloe gasps. The next thing you know she is also on the ground and hugging you like crazy.

"God I was so worried! I knew you would be lost! How did you get here?"

"I needed time to think, and I just came here by accident…"

"No way! Becs, this is like my getaway, I always used to go here to think!"

"And now you found me…"

"Yeah, and we need to talk. Like I said, I'm not mad at you. I just want to know why?"

"Okay. If this doesn't turn out well, then I need you to stay with me? Please don't go anywhere. I can't lose you." Tears are welling up in your eyes and you can't help it.

Chloe nods. "I promise." Chloe doesn't question you further, but you know that she took it seriously.

"I needed comfort. You gave me comfort. I wanted your comfort. So I sought it."

"Are you saying that you wanted to kiss me? Is that why you did it?"

"Yeah, I-I think so."

"Can I tell you something, Becs? I'm glad that you kissed me because… maybe… I wanted you to kiss me too."

"Seriously?"

"Yes. I know you just broke up with Jesse, but I like you. Like a lot."

You smile and peck her on the cheek. Then you blush as Chloe giggles. "You are so adorable." She giggles.

"So what does this mean?" you ask.

"It can mean whatever you want it to mean."

"Well I just got out of another relationship. A crappy one, but still. Can we take it slow? I don't want to make the same mistakes as I did with Jesse."

"Don't worry Becs. You won't" as to prove her point Chloe wraps you in another hug and kisses you on the top of your head.

"Let's go home." She says.

As you two stand up and walk away with your hands locked together, you can't help but think: 'yeah, maybe this is what I needed all along.'

This is NOT the end.
