Titanium


Chloe

Walking along the corridor doing her rounds, a red light from her watch alerted a change in a patient's heart monitor. Pulling out her tablet from the medical sling, Chloe spotted the room number and ran back. Blue scrubs were in the room before her, trying to calm down the occupant and preparing a sedative just in case. In the middle of the scene a young woman was frantically trying to keep them away.

"c-c-chloe?" Beca choked out spotting the doctor arriving into the threshold, the sight of red hair and blue eyes calmed her down enough to slacken her muscles momentarily.

"Dr. Beale. We tried to calm down the patient, before you arrived -"

"I'll take it from here, thank you Cindy and Chad." With that the two nurses nodded towards Chloe, glancing behind to make sure that Dr. Beale would be safe to leave with the patient.

Making sure the door was closed, I returned my focus to Beca. Her electric blue eyes shifted around the room randomly, before settling them onto me. While my hand reached out, my feet were bringing me towards her. Yet, each step was counteracted with a step-back.

The blue electric beams focused on me, giving me the urge to turn away or be completely mesmerized by the sheer intensity. I was afraid that if I redirected my gaze, the link would be gone. At the same time, the rawness of it all made me feel conscious.

Beca's breathing was coming out jagged, her hair in disarray and the sweat clung to her giving her the appearance running through a shower. Realizing that if I kept this cycle up, Beca would still retreat away from me.

I had to change my perspective, Kommissar was right.

Chloe's hand dropped to her side, racking her mind...she decided what to do. So she began to sing.

"You shout out loud, but I can't hear a word you say. Talking loud not saying much " Chloe inwardly smiled as Beca started to visibly calm down, inching away from the corner to get closer to the music. While Chloe continued to sing, she wondered how Beca's voice would sound like and how high would her belt go.

Beca

I felt naked being caught during a freak out. I was okay sometimes in keeping in check during the day, but the night is when I slip and blur the realities again. I tried to do what the therapist said to do: regulate my breathing, get reacquainted with the surroundings and root myself down with what I know are facts.

I was only on the breathing part, when two people I didn't know walked into the room. I didn't know them, were they something my mind made up? Am I still asleep? How the fuck am I going to focus with all these noise going around me. I have to get them away from me.

They advanced towards me with what I assume would be soothing tones, but came out as buzzing noises. I frantically tried to tell them to stop where they were. Use words Beca, c'mon now. I angrily berated myself as I started to yell without anything being coherent.

Someone new entered the room, shifting her eyes from the two - she noticed Chloe. I'm awake...this Chloe is a doctor. She's the doctor in reality, not a mermaid.

"C-c-chloe?" That's the only thing that got out from the garbled mess...but it reached her. She acknowledged my sound with eyes that understood.

Chloe stopped the nurses, while I started to look around trying to get my bearings.

Jesus, she'll probably think that I would have to go back to day one with therapy. Why couldn't I just recover faster. I continued to stare into her eyes to see if she would sentence me to a restart, lie, or worst...to catch the emotion of pity.

Her hand was reaching out to me, but I could see doubt and worry in her eyes. She would step forward and I would step-back we were locked in an awkward dance of give and take. Chloe's hand lowered and it was as if a flip switch was turned on in her. She began to become lighter, the worry and doubt dissipated.

Curiously all the background static noise was gone and all it left was a crystal clear sound. She was singing Titanium...


End notes: I know this is short, I'm on a borrowed laptop. In case you missed it-

My updates take longer to post because of training and I'm also working as a part time so that I can save money to join a program and surprise my parents.

I won't abandoned this story because it's a gift and I want it to be completed for someone at the same time I would like to make sure that I can move people and entertain you. Thank you to everyone whose ever read this, I didn't really expect more than 4 people to actually read this story.

Oh and I can't put full lyrics, so i have to alter the scene of cups (which is a future chapter that the title & story is based on), since I was reported and it was in ze rules. Which I understood xD because i thought that it only meant posting the fully song without saying it was made by.

My side goal is to update this story atleast once a week or every 2 weeks.
