Sorry Guys.
I know it's been hecka long but I have bad news. So I was involved in a small accident with a friend where I broke my arm and got a mild concussion. Nothing to major but updates might be a little slow because it's hard to type with one hand lol.
So thanks for all the positive respond for the last chapter.
This is a 2 part story and this is about snowboarding which I am no expert in but I did my best with the small amounts in it. It's also a soul mate story which I love.
So all mistake are mine, hope you like it.
Enjoy.
Snow Mate:
Chloe was the kind of person to believe that there was a perfect person for everyone, a soul mate. She would have thought that no matter what, but it was also a common fact around the world.
Everyone was born with a certain half circle on them, it's like a tattoo that's almost right one top of the heart. But no half circle is the same, never in history; and there is only one of each and only one that can connect to it.
How can you tell if they will connect? Well at the age the age of 16, the tattoo stops growing with you and a layer of soul mate flesh is devolved under it. No one knew how to describe it but after that certain flesh grows under it a machine can pull the soul mate flesh in the same shape of your half circle out of you and into a necklace. Sounds cool, right?
It gets cooler.
After it's pulled out of you, it takes a silver or black color and turns into a metal. It turns black if the person who's your soul mate doesn't have a necklace yet and it turns silver if they already have it or whenever they get. Then once you meet someone you think could possibly be your soul mate, you can try to fit your necklaces together and if they heat up quickly, turn into gold, and stick together, unless forced apart, then that's when you know you found your soul mate.
Chloe had her necklace made as soon as possible and she always wore her necklace above her shirt or jacket; she was always on the lookout. After seeing how happy her parents were as soul mates, she couldn't wait to find hers.
But at the same time she's scared, most people never connect with their soul mate, more than 60% people never connect with their soul mate and Chloe fears that will be her.
Her heart always hurt whenever she looked at her black necklace.
She had thought everyone had the same thought on soul mate as her, the joy and fear, till she met a certain person.
Beca Mitchell. She hated the idea of soul mates and she was the only person Chloe knew who was of age to get a necklace but didn't.
Chloe had first met Beca Mitchell at a beach party the summer after her senior year of high school, but she had heard of Beca way before that.
Chloe was a snowboarder, still building up her name.
While Beca had been a snowboarder and labeled the next big thing for snowboarding at only 12 years old, till she suddenly stopped when she was 16 years old after a killer X games where she won gold in everything she competed in.
Chloe had looked up to Beca and was as surprised and disappointed as everyone else when Beca released a statement saying she wasn't going to be riding for a while.
That was 2 years ago and Chloe hadn't heard her name again till Beca was introduced to her by Cynthia Rose at the party.
After spending a good amount of that party chatting and then the next day as well after running into each other in the morning at a coffee shop, Chloe and Beca had exchanged numbers and become friends.
But it wasn't till about 2 months after they started hanging out that Beca finally opened up to her about why she didn't snowboard anymore and it also connected to her hatred for soul mates.
Chloe had held Beca's hand as she told the story of how her parents at divorced when she was 15 and her mother went onto commit suicide when she was 16, 2 weeks after her legendary X games.
She blamed soul mates for her mother's death, stating that if they had been right, her parents would still be together and her mother would be alive. She stopped riding after that because it reminded her of her father, who had shown her the sport and coached her till he walked out on her family.
That had been last night and it was all Chloe could think about the next morning as she looked down at the sleeping brunette in her arms. She would do anything to take away the pain that was in her voice as she told her story yesterday.
After watching Beca sleep for almost 20 minutes, she finally slipped out of the younger girl's bed and set to work on making breakfast.
Breakfast was almost done when Chloe heard the bed room door open 30 minute later.
"Food?" Beca was a moving cocoon as she came into the kitchen with the blanket still completely pulled around her and dragging her feet, still half asleep.
Chloe had to bite back a swoon at how cute Beca looked at the moment, "Figured you would be hungry, plus I have practice later so I should eat."
"Practice? Oh are you guys joining the Shredder contest?" Beca sat down at the talk and gave Chloe a smile and a 'thanks' when she set a coffee down in front of the still half asleep.
"Yeah, Aubrey, Jesse, and I are going to be a team. I'm going to do the girl's snowboarding events, and Jesse guy's, while Aubrey does the overall field. I think I can win the girls but I think the hard one will be for Aubrey. Some of the best snowboarders from around the world will be competing in that one. Then Jesse just needs to try and finish in the top 3 so we have a chance at winning", Chloe explained as she put a plate of food down in front of Beca and took her seat with her own plate.
"What events again? I forget", Beca asked as she quickly dug into her food.
"Only 3, Slope Style, Half Pipe, and Snowboarder X. You should now this Mitchell, you used to win this all the time", Chloe gave Beca a small smile.
It was true, every year Beca had competed in the Shedder contest her team won first and she won the overall score. She always won the overall section, which Aubrey would be in.
"Feels like a life time ago", Beca admitted.
They enjoyed breakfast together joking around and making conversation.
Near the end, Chloe noticed as Beca slowly turned shy and started poking at the rest of her food, she nudged the girl with her foot, "What's on your mind?"
Beca poked at her food a little more before speaking, still not looking at the red head, "I think I'm going to go talk to my dad today… I don't know. Talking last night… it felt good so maybe I should talk to him I guess."
Chloe reached over and took Beca's hand in hers, "Becs that's great. Remember you can always talk to me, I'd be happy to listen."
"Thank you Chloe… for last night too. You're actually not half bad", Beca ducked her head again with a smile smirk.
"Excuse you, I'm amazing", Chloe huffed jokily but couldn't stop the butterflies in her stomach from Beca's response.
"Yeah, you really are. Never doubt that", with that Beca grabbed her now empty cup and went to get a refill with a blush.
Chloe was a pile of muss for a second, has she mention that she kinda really likes Beca? Like a lot, falling in love style (she actually might already be in love but she won't accept it).
But what could she do when the one girl she's falling for doesn't believe in love.
Just her luck, falling in love with someone who won't love her back and a black necklace.
LINEBREAK
Chloe has only slept for around 5 hours the last 3 days; she was too worried to sleep.
No one had heard from Beca in 3 days, her dad being the last one to see her that day Chloe had slept over.
The sad thing is Chloe had been so excited that evening as she texted Beca, which was the last text that Beca had read.
Chloe's necklace had finally turned silver.
But Chloe didn't even care since all her attention was on finding Beca after a frantic call from Beca's dad.
Apparently he had finally told Beca the truth to a lie that she had thought true her own life.
Her mom and dad weren't soul mates. Beca's step mother was his real soul mate.
Beca had stomped out of the house after that and no one had heard from her since.
Chloe had a hurricane of emotion in her, she was super worried, she was angry at Mr. Mitchell for lying, mad at Beca for running away, but mostly she was scared for Beca's wellbeing.
She was currently sitting in the corner booth at a bar her and Beca frequented a lot, a bunch of their other friends were there but the mood was really gloom with the unknown whereabouts of Beca. She was hoping Beca would show up since they had planned this last week but she was quickly losing that hope.
"I know she's okay where ever she is, Beca has street smarts", Stacie, another snowboarder, said as she saw Chloe lost in thought looking at her drink. Everyone else was over at the pool tables or looking at the karaoke song book.
Chloe gave Stacie a sad smile, "I hope so."
Stacie suddenly saw something and decided it would be a good time to change the topic, "When did you meet your soul mate?"
Chloe looked up at Stacie confused and looked down at her necklace.
She gasped.
Her neck lace was gold.
What the hell? When did that happen?
Chloe opened and closed her mouth a few times and she had trouble processing anything, "What… I don't understand… what the hell?"
Stacie didn't know what to say as she saw the red head struggling for words.
She was saved of saying anything as a voice rang out through the speakers.
"Hey guys, so a really bad thing happened to me the other day and a really good thing happened to me today. I'm a pretty crappy person since I disappeared for a few days. I thought about staying away but there's a girl here, that well… I just can't be without", Chloe gasped as she saw Beca on stage with a guitar, looking right at her.
"You see I used to think soul mates were dumb and wrong but I get it now. My necklace turned gold today and I think she just realized hers turned gold too", Beca gave me that one smile she only directs at the red head and she swears she almost exploded in happiness.
She was her soul mate.
Beca Mitchell was her soul mate!
It took everything inside of Chloe not to run up to the stage and either smack or kiss Beca, probably both honestly.
"I'm not the best singer or guitar player but this one's for you Chloe", with that Beca took a deep breath before starting.
(Crazy by Shawn Mendes)
Think I don't need a watch to tell the time
Think I don't need the sun to help me shine
Think I don't need a girl to be alright
Guess I didn't know
That I didn't need shoes on my feet
That I didn't need a bed to fall asleep
That I didn't need love to be complete
Guess I didn't know
That I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me, for me
You're all I think about when I'm awake
Part of every night and every day
And everything's a mess when you're away
Now I know
All of this is getting really old
I'm having trouble sleeping on my own
Feeling like a house but not a home
I want you to know
That I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me, for me
Guess I need a watch to tell the time
Guess I need the sun to help me shine
And I really need you in my life
Now I know
That you give me this crazy feeling
And you won't have to wait no more for me, for me
And I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me
Chloe had tears streaming down her face as Beca played the chord before giving the crowd a shy smile as they went crazy for her, "Thanks for listening."
It quickly got quiet as Chloe stood up and started walking towards the stage, where Beca jumped down and waited with a half-smile. Every eye in the place was on them.
"I'm sor-"
Chloe swallowed whatever Beca was about to say as she crashed her lips onto Beca's as soon as she could.
The rest of the world faded away as Chloe felt a fire like never before sweep through her, she decided in that moment that she could kiss Beca forever.
As they pulled back she finally registered the clapping all around them as the crowd when wild, their group of friends being the loudest.
Chloe leaned her forehead against Beca and grabbed onto the shorter girl's jacket before pulling in a little, "Never do that again, you had me worried sick."
"I'm sorry, I just had a lot to think about", Beca cupped Chloe's face and wiped away the few tears that had been there still.
"I know, I spoke with your dad. I yelled at him a little too", Chloe admitted causing Beca to smile before Chloe looked again, "Come on cutie; let's go somewhere more private so you can tell me why you never told me you have such a beautiful voice."
"Sounds great ", Beca smiled and couldn't resist leaning forward to kiss Chloe quickly.
Once in private there was some talking but it was mostly making up for all the times they had wanted to kiss one another but couldn't.
They didn't return that night.
LINEBREAK
Chloe groaned as she felt on her butt again trying to land a backside triple-cork 1440. She had never landed one in practice but she knew if she wanted to get first in women's Slope-style she had to nail it in competition.
She could hear Aubrey yelling something but just ignored it as she sat there for a second. To her surprise, she felt someone sit down next to her.
"Hey beautiful, looking good out there", Beca smiled at Chloe as she sat down next to her.
Chloe lit up seeing her girlfriend, her previous disappointment and sadness gone, "Babe! I didn't think you were getting home till tomorrow."
Chloe quickly flung off her helmet and reached forward to kiss her girlfriend of 2 months now that she hadn't seen in 6 days with Beca going out of town to visit her Aunt. Beca groaned as Chloe forced her to fall back into the snow.
"I missed you too god damn much to stay away. And you're fucking freezing", Beca rolled her eyes and moved back a little as Chloe tried to nuzzle her cold nose into Beca's neck area.
"Get off your asses and Beca stop distracting her we have the contest in 2 weeks, she has to perfect the trick", Aubrey yelled at this from next to the ramp.
Beca rolled her eyes and gave Aubrey the bird, which caused the blonde to huff and stomp away carrying her board, before she stood up and held her hand out for the red head.
Chloe smiled as she picked up her helmet with the hand not holding Beca's and Beca grabbed her board for her, the taller girl quickly leaned down and dropped a kiss to her soul mate's cheek, "I missed you."
Beca smiled and stopped to lean over and give her girlfriend a proper kiss, "I missed you too. It was weird waking up without Disney music blaring through my room."
"Shut up, you love it", Chloe fake shoved Beca as they walked to Beca's snowmobile.
"So did I miss anything?" Beca put Chloe's board into its spot before getting on and holding out her hand for her red head.
"Another person was airlifted to the hospital after trying Mont. Bruno and Amy dumped a smoothie this guy named Bumper 2 days again, he's a jerk who flew in for the competition", Chloe used the hand to get on behind Beca and wrapped her arms around Beca.
Mont. Bruno was a huge mountain about 10 minutes away from them that had never been ridden down completely with its crazy drops and tricky, steep slopes. Many have tried and it was named after the first guy to die trying to going down it, Bruno Fields.
"People are idiots for trying it", Beca scoff before she started up the hills towards where Aubrey and Jesse were standing at the start of the Slope-style course.
"I have had to stop Aubrey from trying it twice, people coming in for the competition keep challenging her and she never backs down. But I think I got through her last time, she actually looked scared of me", Chloe had a worried look on her face as she thought back on it.
"She's smart, she won't actually try it, or at least she seems smart", Beca teased at the end as she turned off her snowmobile and they got off.
"Becaw! You're back. How was sunny California?" Jesse went in for a hug and his smile didn't slip as Beca dodged it.
"Hot and way too sunny for my pale ass. And I told you to stop calling me that", Beca glared at him, "But it was nice seeing my family, I guess."
"Great now that we're all caught up, we can get back to work", Aubrey went straight back to dictator mode, "Chloe you have to nail that move, why can't you land it?"
"I need more speed and lift I guess, my first 2 spins aren't quick enough so I can't get to my last one", Chloe shrugged, looking down at the ground, she was frustrated she couldn't land it.
"I was watching and you need to start earlier with your body twist before you even get big air. And you stand up too straight; I think the speed throws you off or something because you were bending your knees more on your other jumps but not that one. Just some things I saw", Beca said not really thinking about it. She had done that trick a lot of times.
They looked at her in surprise; they hadn't hear her talk snowboarding in forever.
"OMG! Becs! You should totally coach us!" Chloe squealed excitedly as it made sense in her head, Beca was one of the best riders she had ever seen, or at least in her prime.
"Dude that would be awesome!" "No way in hell."
Those came from her teammates and you could guess who said what.
"I don't think that's a good idea", Beca grimaced, she wasn't sure if she was ready.
"Well… okay I might have forgot to tell you and Bree something. So Beca is going to with us anyway because as I kinda put her down as our alternate…", Chloe admitted with a guilty, an alternate was the person who would ride in case of injury.
"What?!" "Why didn't you tell me?! I am the leader of this team!"
Beca and Aubrey seemed to agree on one thing finally.
"Calm down, it was just a quick decision that probably won't matter in the end. Don't be mad", Chloe pouted as Beca moved out of her reach for a second.
"Okay, how about we talk about this later and just finish practice for today okay? We were going to practice Snowboarder X? Right?" Jesse tried to keep this from escalating.
Aubrey looked at all them for a second before huffing and nodding, "Fine but this conversation isn't over."
But when Chloe set her mind on something, it was hard to change, which they realized later as Aubrey and Beca agreed to Beca coming on coach like figure for them, even though they both didn't really like the idea completely.
Those damn puppy eyes and pout.
LINEBREAK
Today had been an interesting day for Chloe, and not in a good way. The contest was in 3 days and people were flying in from all over the place. This was also the 6th day in a row that Chloe had woken up super early to be at the café near the Half-Pipe to watch a rider do a morning workout.
They were amazing, like gold medal in the Olympics good.
And it scared her because she knew that whoever that was could possible prevent her team from winning. But as a fan of snowboarding she just couldn't help but watch.
Aubrey had found her in the café as she was about to leave and had ranted to Chloe for 20 minutes about Bumper apparently talking trash to her, again bringing up Mont. Bruno. Chloe made the mistake of dismissing what her best friend said, thinking that after she ranted she would move on.
That was not the case this time.
Beca and Chloe had been chilling in the café on the couch, cuddled up in front of the fire and enjoying a hot chocolate when Jesse came running in, looking completely white.
"Aubrey tried Mont. Bruno and they can't spot her on the mountain! Frank is circling around by they can't find her!" Jesse rushed out almost in tears.
Chloe gasped and her eyes started filling with tears as she gripped Beca's arm to stable herself.
"How long ago did Frank drop her? Why the hell would she do this?! God I told her it was idiotic! We have to go help! I'll ride down the mountain and find her or something", Chloe said in between tears as Beca rubbed her back as they both stood up and started towards the door with Jesse.
"No way in hell you are going down that mountain. What help would 2 injured riders do?" Beca felt the panic in her chest at just the suggestion alone.
"Then what the hell am I supposed to do Beca! Just sit on my ass as my best friend is out on that mountain possibly hurt while we wait for more search and rescue planes?! Sorry but I can't do that", Chloe turned angry at Beca and regretted it the second the words left her mouth, Beca seemed to realize it.
"I have an idea, you guys get some flares or something, extra blankets, and food and water then throw it all in a backpack. Also get yourself some snowmobiles and meet me at the helicopter pad. Hurry!" Beca gave Chloe one more kiss on the head before she took off in an opposite direction.
Chloe was left grasping at air as she watched Beca run away, god she hoped whatever she had planned would work, who knows how bad Aubrey could be at the moment.
It took Chloe and Jesse 10 minutes to get the bag and get to the pad where Frank, the main helicopter flyer around, was waiting for them.
"There you are, Beca said for you give me the bag. Go to pad B and Jack will fly you around to search", Frank explained with a panicked look on his face.
"Wait, do you know what the plan is? What's happening right now?" Chloe asked franticly.
Frank paused for a second before responding, "Beca got someone who used to be one of the best mountains boarders, they're going to try and find her so we can get her location."
"Do you think they can find her? Are they good still?" Jesse asked the fear obvious in his eyes.
"If anyone can, they can. Now hurry to Pad B", Frank shooed them as he turned and threw the backpack in the helicopter.
As they turned and started rushing to their copter they saw someone with their gear on and their board running towards Frank.
Chloe let out a sigh of relief and turned to catch up to Jesse. Right as she was about to get in the plane she got a call. She was going to ignore it but saw it was Beca's dad and for some reason she answered it.
"Chloe? Chloe, please tell me Beca is with you? I heard about what's happening with Aubrey", Mr. Mitchell asked franticly.
"No she isn't with me, why? Is something wrong?" Chloe asked now worried for her soul mate as well.
"I'm scared she'll do something dumb. She hasn't been on a board in years but she used to be also be a mountain rider in her prime, the best for her age group…"
Chloe dropped the phone and turned to see Frank already taking off with a rider in the back.
Beca.
By the time Chloe had picked up her phone, she couldn't even get words out to Mr. Mitchell. Just saying she had to go before hanging up and running the rest of the way into the copter.
Jesse looked at her worried as he saw the paleness that had taken over Chloe, "Chloe? Who called? What did they say?"
"Beca… she's… she's the one who's going to ride the hill. Fucking hell, she hasn't ridden in 2 years, she's going to die. Get us in the air now", with that Chloe collapsed into Jesse's arms sobbing.
Jack didn't say anything else as he shut the door behind them and jumped into the driver seat, quickly getting them in the air.
They got to the top of the mountain just in time to see Beca drop out of the plane but not yet drop to start riding as she fixed the backpack on her back.
By this time the news had made it there and was recording but Chloe barely looked at them as she looked at her other half, about to risk her life.
It's almost as if Beca felt her eyes on her because she turned her head towards Chloe, Chloe couldn't see where Beca was looking due to her helmet but Beca made a heart with her hands in her direction and Chloe felt her stomach drop.
Is that Beca's way of saying goodbye?
Chloe didn't have to dwell on it as her heart dropped at the same time that Beca dropped in.
Half Time.
The song was Crazy by Shawn Mendes.
