Chloe
It was like watching a slow-mo metaphoric car crash happen, we heard her padded slippers on the tile floor and squeak to a stop in-front of us with an arched eyebrow up. Head tilted she looked at us questioningly and I honestly couldn't wipe that smile off of my face. I should've taken a leaf from Jesse's page and avert my gaze. Yet, I couldn't find myself to look away, I totally knew it! My aca-radar has never failed me.
"You sang my lady jam! How high can your belt go" Reverting to Bella mode. Beca's eyes widened briefly and her face pinked, while in the corner of my eye Jesse was making hand signals to change topic. Seeing as Beca was unable to formulate a response, Jesse spoke up.
"I'll just escort Beca back to her room, before my visitor time is up. Bye Doc." Beca whispered something to Jesse as he made his way towards her, he nodded and waited for her further down the hall. After Jesse was out of hearing range, her electric blue eyes connected back to mine.
"Um if you can stop by, I have something for you as a thank you." She said in a low voice. Watching them go, I checked the patients list and their health statuses on the tablet. I noticed that Beca's heartbeat sped up a minute ago and Mr. Garcia had to be checked on.

After watching the movie at the visitor lobby room, I decided to use the showers near the physical therapy section across from us. My thoughts wandered to today's events as I softly punched the button on the wall to start the flow of water. It felt good, to wash away what transpired. Yet, it didn't stop a negative thought slip through What the fuck happened back at the store.
Taking a deep breath, I recalled the last relapse and couldn't help but sing it back. The song she sang to me.
Feeling the last of the tension leave my body, I hit the button again and stepped into sterilized hospital slippers. Grabbing a clean bathrobe from the folded piles, I walked out still in slight peaceful content.
Right out of the door, 'lo and behold was Jesse and Chloe. Jesse snapped out of his stupor with a bit of drool on him, but Chloe...Chloe looked at me with such appraisal.
Did I miss a joke, while I was out? Waiting for a punchline, I started to feel conscious with the way she was looking at me.
"Hey, Bee. I'll be leaving in a bit, can I take you back?"
"Yeah sure, can you wait up for a bit?" My eyes landed on the red head as she was watching our exchange, she looked more energized and happy. For some reason, she looked the way I remember her in dream mode. The mermaid with those eyes and chirpy voice that would get excited about things. C'mon, Beca just tell her that you have bubbles for her or something...she's waiting.
After saying what I had to say, I went to Jesse with his hand reached out with a soft smile playing on his lips.

After hours of my shift, I received notice that Beca can be released in tomorrow since her mother was able to find a place for them to stay in. I knocked softly on Beca's door, wondering if I interrupted her sleep. A few moments later the sound of shuffling of slippers and a door knob turning: I was met with expectant blue eyes from a short brunette.
"Hey Beca, sorry for waking you-"
"I wasn't asleep, I was just..." She opened the door wider to show me instead. On her bed were notebooks and two pencils. "Thinking of a playlist and I was waiting for you."
"Sorry to keep you, but I have some good news. You'll be released back out into the wild in tomorrow. We can tell you the schedule with the therapists and checkup deets later. Now where's my present, Bec?" I jokingly said as she tried not to show her smile.
"I know that Doctors can't actually receive gifts from patients, but this isn't really yea..." Beca shuffled towards her desk and pulled out a small package. "You can open it now, so I can see the look of disappointment."
"I'll have you know, that I Chloe Beale value the thought behind the gift even if it can be disappointing." I laughed out as she shrugged her shoulders as if to say go-on-with-it. I was going to tease her by opening the packaging slowly, but my excitement got the best of me and I ended up unfolding the wrapper quickly.
"See...I told you that you'd be disappointment" She said, mistaking my quiet internal happy screams at the sight of Mr. Bubble's canister in my hand as a negative sign.
"No, its perfect! I know a place we can go to set these bubbles free." I checked the time from my watch and looked back at her conspiratorially. "We're going to have to dodge cameras, can I trust you?"
Beca gave me an exasperated look, but nodded ready to break rules. Pulling out my tablet to see the positions of the cameras and locations of staffs - plotted our route.

I honestly enjoyed seeing this carefree side of Chloe. On the way to wherever place she had on mind, she would giggle with a pseudo doctor evil laugh. There were a bunch of close calls, but we were able to make it up to a fire exit staircase. Heading up she opened the door and the view was amazing.
We were on the roof of the hospital with a pack of bubbles and a view of the city lights competing with the stars. We used our wands and blew bubbles. Sometimes Chloe would go on about her Bella days when I didn't want to talk, it was like when I was asleep...except this was real. She was dancing around with her bubble wand, watching her little round minions float around her. I know this is reality because she is a doctor in this one. Yet ...night sometimes can blur dreams and reality.
"Are you real?" Chloe stopped spinning and looked at me worried, so I continued before she can think that I have to stay longer here."Because the first time I saw you, you were a flight attendant with a weird scarf...then a mermaid. Now awake, you're like some kinda all around person"
"I'm not any of those amazing things...just Chloe even when you're awake." She said softly. We walked towards the railings and stood slightly apart, watching the blue crisp morning yawn. At this moment...I kinda appreciated the stillness. To make it last a little longer...I did what I thought I can do...I held her hand.
