The Story So Far | Chapter Five
Beca's POV
"Beca!" I heard someone yell. Turning around, I saw Chloe running towards me. "I told you that I want to hear some of your original music."
"Now? I don't think it's a good idea to do it now. Maybe next time, I guess? When you're not drunk?" I told her while she shook her head.
"Please," she pleaded while I sighed heavily.
"Fine, come on. I wanna go to sleep," I said while she just snickered. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing, nothing. It's just –" and with that Chloe threw up on her shoes.
"Shit!" I cursed. "Are you alright? I told you now is not the good time."
"I'm fine," she said. "At least take me home?"
I rolled my eyes, "Can't you go by yourself?" She didn't say anything instead she shook her head. "Fine. Where's your dorm?"
"I – I forgot."
"You're not serious."
"I am."
"Come on, Chloe. Just tell me where your dorm is please?"
"I can't. I still want to listen to your music though."
I sighed heavily, drunk Chloe was getting on my nerves. "Come on, let's go to my dorm." And with that I had to grab her arm and walk her to my dorm. "Just be sure to not talk loudly, my roommate kind of hates noise."
"Okay," she replied as I opened my dorm room.
"Hey, Kimmy-Jin," I greeted with a fake smile. She just glanced at me with her usual unfriendly stare and came back doing something with her laptop. I shrugged it off and guided Chloe to my bed. "Are you sure you're not sleepy? Because it sounds like you are."
"No, no," she yawned. "I can stay up late to listen to your songs."
"Alrighty then," I said while I put headphones to her ear. "Okay so this was our attempt song when we joined the Battle of the Bands."
"You joined the Battle of the Bands?" she instantly asked with excitement.
"Yeah, didn't I tell you that?" I asked while she just gave me a confused look. "Right."
"But anyway, this song is called Hit or Miss," I told her then I hit play. Watching her listen shines up my day. She was slightly head banging, beaming at me every 30 seconds of the song and giving me thumbs up. I couldn't help but to stare at her mesmerizing blue eyes.
"This is real good," she told me. "Do you have more?"
"I do have one more song that you may already heard off but you didn't hear it all," I winked.
"Dressed to Kill? Please let me hear it," she pleased.
"You're already sober?" I asked.
"I think so, yeah." She nodded while I shrugged and hit play.
"And you're, you're not here. And I can't stop pretending that you're forever mine," she sang. She may be our first real fan.
"You memorized the best lyrics in the song," I said while grinning.
"It's that good, if I hear a good catchy song, it's already stuck in my head. You have an amazing band, Beca," she complimented while she touched my hand.
I kind of blushed while she touched my hand so I felt awkward and removed my hand which she gave me a disappointing look.
"I-I'm sorry," I stuttered. "I'm not comfortable with people touching my hand or something."
"Oh okay, I'm sorry. It was a friendly gesture anyway."
"I – uh, okay."
I waited for her to finish the song and when she did, she gave me back my headphones and gave me a smile.
"I'm getting sleepy," she yawned. "Can I sleep here? I'm too lazy to go to back in my dorm."
"Uh. Seriously?" she nodded. "Wow, okay. Um, how do we sleep together though?" I blushed as I said that. "Not in that way. I mean the, um, friendly way."
She laughed, "You're so weird. Though I like sleeping alone but I guess I could try not to sleep alone."
"Are you sure about this? I told you I'm uncomfortable when—"
"I insist, Beca."
I sighed. "Fine, just don't touch me, okay?"
She chuckled, "Yeah, don't worry. I'm not a pervert."
"Or are you?" I smirked. "I don't know how to sleep beside people."
"You like sleeping alone too?" she asked while I shrugged. "C'mere."I went beside her while she didn't even bother to hold or touch me. "This isn't too bad, this feels okay."
"It's not," I replied as Chloe glanced at me. "Just kidding. Okay, it's worth a try anyway." She closed her eyes while I tried to stare at the ceiling. I didn't even try to sleep at this second all I can think about now is that there's someone beside me when I'm sleeping which makes me uncomfortable but it kind of makes me comfortable because it's Chloe. What?!
"Hey Chloe," I called thinking that she's already sleeping.
"Yeah?" Guess not.
"Your shoes smell so freaking bad," I snickered. "Should we leave it outside?"
"Nah, I'm used to the smell of vomit," she told me while I made a bewildered face. "Sleep now, Beca. Let us sleep."
"I seriously knew your name just today and now we're having a sleepover? Wow, we are really gonna be fast friends."
"Told you," she said as she didn't speak another word. "Sleep please. I bet your roommate is irritated by our conversation."
I groaned and tried to close my eyes and with that, I drifted to sleep.
After the set of Tomorrow I'm Gone, it was our turn. Our turn to make history. I silently prayed that we would win this year's Battle of the Bands. Last year, the Root Knots were a country rock band which the audience didn't really like because it wasn't their taste.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Pop Punk band, Turpitude!" the emcee announced while the crowd erupted with cheers.
We set up our gear before we start the song.
I held the mic and started to talk to the audience, "Okay guys, this song was such an amazing and a sad experience at the same time. It took time for this song to be written but now, I did it. I had mind block for so many months but someone changed that mind block and made my songwriting mind to work all over again. I dedicate this song to that special someone-"
"Beca!" someone yelled while I blinked a few times and saw that it was Chloe.
"Chloe. You're still here?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes.
"Yeah, I just woke up. I heard you talking in your sleep. About a song or something," she said.
"Yeah, yeah it was nothing. Don't worry about it, I get weird dreams every time."
"I don't think it was weird," she said with a half smile.
"It was," I swear. "It was my dream anyway."
"What's that song?" she asked.
"I don't know yet – I've been trying to find an idea for a new song but I can't experience anything. I've never been in love-"
"That's why, most good songs are made from experience. Don't worry, I feel that you're gonna experience something," she grinned. "Anyway, there's a Bella rehearsal today, I suppose that we should go now and take a shower."
"I don't wanna go to the shower with you!" I told her while I laughed.
"I won't do that again except if you sang again," she winked then I feel like my cheeks were warm. Why is this girl making me nervous? "Come on, Beca! Double time!"
I rose up and groaned. "Where's Kimmy-Jin?"
"Oh she just left, I don't know where though. Now, come on!"
"Where's your clothes?" I asked first.
"I'm coming over to get them. Wanna get them with me and let's proceed in the showers?"
I didn't answer instantly instead her words are giving me shivers. "Uh, yeah sure."
"Let's go," she said as we walked outside. "I kinda liked our sleepover."
"I don't think that was a sleepover, I mean we didn't plan you just got too lazy to go back to your dorm," I responded and smiled.
She pushed me playfully, "Even though, again, I like to sleep alone well it was nice."
Soon we arrived at Chloe's dorm and Aubrey was there, sleeping. Chloe tried her best not to wake her up with her steps.
"Chloe?" I heard Aubrey groan. "Beca?" she glanced to me. "Am I dreaming?"
"Nope," I replied to her.
"Where have you been, Chloe?" she demanded with her husk voice.
"Um, I slept at Beca's dorm," she innocently said while she was getting clothes from her closet.
"What?" she asked.
"She got too lazy to go back here after she listened to my songs," I chimed in while she glanced at me.
"You had me worried sick, Chloe," she scoffed.
"Sorry, Aubs," she said as she already grabbed her clothes. "There's a Bella rehearsal today, right Aubrey? We have to go. We're going to the showers."
Aubrey looked like she just realized that there was a rehearsal today, we left her alone in the dorm while Chloe and I walked to the showers.
A/N: In case you're wondering, this story is just a fluff story there's not gonna be dirty bits because I don't know how to write those so the rating is in T because of major swearing and mention of sex. So I think this is the first really fluff chapter in the story so far. Dammit, I have to stop doing that. Haha, anyway thank you guys for the Rates and Reviews. Again, please R&R it would mean a lot to me. See you in the next chapter! The story would probably end on Chapter 15 above or lower, I don't know.. I feel like this story is gonna be short as heck so anyway guys, I hope I don't have writer's block ever. Thank you again!
