Hello lovely people! First off, want to thank everyone for their feedback :) I take it all on board and it all means a lot! All the follows and favourites are amazing. I had a suggestion so I'm going to try a new approach. Stick with me the story is getting there. Hope you enjoy…
Chloe's POV:
I've gotta see Tom
Chloe thought to herself as she walked out of the restroom doors. It took every bit of strength in the ginger not to turn around and scoop Beca up in to her arms.
As she walked back out on to the side of the bar, she quickly made her way over to the table where Tom was sitting at. Taking a deep breath she planted a smile on her face and sat down opposite the dark haired man.
"Hey baby, can we go? Getting a bit bored of this scene" Chloe asked as she downed the rest of her white wine that was sitting on the table.
Tom nodded as he smirked at his fiancée
"Sure, come on let's go" Tom stood up and made his way through the bar, he grabbed the red heads hand and entwined his fingers around hers.
Chloe looked down at their hands and couldn't help but feel a pang on guilt in her stomach. Not guilt for the fact she had just had a very heated kiss with Beca, but the fact she was now holding hands with Tom.
It's like I'm cheating on Beca
Chloe knew what she had to do but didn't know if she had the courage to go through with it. The two hopped in to a cab and made their way back to Tom's house.
Chloe had been the one to suggest this, clearly the red head and Tom had very different ideas about what was going to happen when they get back, judging by the smirk on his face.
The two made their way in to Tom's flat, Chloe instantly checking her phone to see if Beca had text her.
Of course she hasn't, you just left her standing there, with no explanation
Chloe's heart sunk at the thought of Beca hating her, she wanted more than anything to stay with her. But she needed to do this. Not just for her, but for Beca and her.
"Hey Tom can you come sit for a minute?" Chloe asked softly as she patted the seat next to her on the couch.
He made his way over and slung his arm around Chloe's waist pulling her closer to him, the red head frowned at this and struggled out of his grasp.
"Babe what's wrong? Do you wanna go to my bedroom?" Tom asked as he tried to reach for the red head's hand, only to have it swatted away.
"Tom we need to talk" Chloe stated bluntly, this time she didn't have fear in her voice, but a determination.
"Right…go on then" Tom beckoned her to reply.
"I…I don't really know where to begin, or what to…what to say" Chloe's hands were now both placed firmly on the side of her face. She was struggling to find the words but she knew she had to carry on.
"Tom this…this. Us. It's not working, I just can't do this anymore. You know I love you and we have been together for a long time now but…I'm not IN love with you. You proposed and instead of feeling swept off my feet, I felt empty. Like this was all just something that we were expected to do. Please understand you will always be a part of my life but…I can't be with you anymore. It's…its over" Chloe had been looking at Tom's face the whole time throughout the speech.
She noticed that his expression was frozen, distant almost as the red head tried to explain her feelings without upsetting him.
Chloe was becoming more and more anxious the longer the silence dragged on for, she felt relief for telling him finally but couldn't hide her nervousness at the fact he had just remained still.
"Tom…are you gonna say something?" Chloe questioned delicately, scared that he was about to verbally lash out at her.
"Yes I am. Get out" Tom replied bluntly, he spoke staring right in to the red heads eyes, Chloe hadn't seen that look before.
"W…wait what, don't you want to talk about this?" the red head tried to steady her voice but the shock of Tom's words had thrown her off.
"Get the fuck out of my flat. That is the only words I want to talk about tonight" Tom was still staring at Chloe, not wavering his expression from anger.
Chloe slowly rose to her feet, she debated whether or not to try and speak to him again. She chose not to as she picked up her bag and walked out.
As Tom's door closed the red head felt a range of emotions
Sadness at losing someone who was a big part of her life.
Anger at how Tom had just dismissed her like that, without so much as a why
Relief that she had finally done it, from months of debating when the right time was.
Excited at the thought of seeing Beca and telling her what she had done
I've got to see her now
Chloe quickly made her way downstairs as she pulled her phone out to text the small brunette, she decided it would be better to surprise her first thing tomorrow.
Chloe went to sleep that night, managing to subside the sadness she felt for Tom as the feeling of completion crept in when she thought of Beca.
Stretching Chloe woke up, before doing anything else she quickly grabbed her phone off the bed side table and checked for messages, only to be disappointed.
Come on Becs
The red head quickly gave herself a shake and decided to stick to her original thoughts of going to surprise the small brunette this morning, eventually telling her how she had ended things with Tom.
On her way to Beca's, Chloe became anxious fast, coming up with lots of different scenarios in her head.
Come on, It's Beca. The kiss last night was enough to prove she liked you back
Chloe was now stood outside the brunette's door, she took a deep breath before slowly reaching up to knock on the door.
Beca answered clearly expecting someone else as she mumbled something before cutting herself off while she stared at the red head.
"Morning Beca…" Chloe couldn't help but notice the brunettes appearance. She was wearing the top she wore to the bar last night, and that's it. Literally nothing else.
"Um Hey, what are…what are you doing here?" the brunette asked Chloe
Isn't it obvious?
Chloe tried to ignore the awkward tension between the two and put on her best cheery voice
"To see you obviously" the red head was now worried that Beca hadn't invited her in yet.
Almost seconds after that thought, Chloe looked up to find the reason. There stood Amber, she was wearing next to nothing and seemed more at home than Beca did in her own apartment.
The red head swallowed the lump that was now forming in her throat battling to hide how distraught she is to witness this.
They've slept together, you've messed this up. How could Beca do that after what we shared?
Thoughts were swirling around Chloe's head as Beca turned back around to look at her, the brunettes eyes were full of fear.
"I'm such a fucking idiot" Chloe muttered to herself, everything was now swirling around in her head.
Beca was talking but the words weren't processing in Chloe's head, it was all too much for her to take in. All she could do was try and bite back with a comment about Amber and how much of a mistake this was.
Hearing Beca's angry rant about how Chloe is engaged and she feels as though she has been fucked off, the red head was speechless.
Chloe thought about explaining about Tom, about how she had finished things with him for Beca. But it was pointless, before Chloe could begin her explanation she shut her mouth.
She couldn't stand it, the thought of Beca with Amber, the girl who broke the tiny DJ's heart, Chloe knew she had to get away.
"Actually yeah, you're right Beca, you are 100% right. I have no right at all. Do whatever you want, fuck whatever you want, because I'm done"
Don't turn around, don't turn around
Chloe felt Beca's arm reach out for hers, Butterflies erupted in her stomach even with the slightest touch. After giving the brunette the opportunity to fight for her, she finally gave up. Beca was silent and had no words to declare to Chloe.
Does she really not give a shit, about me? About the kiss?
"It's good to know the kiss meant nothing to you. Makes it easier" Chloe couldn't help but get this comment in about their kiss. It had literally changed her life, finally giving her the courage to leave Tom. Apparently the same wasn't for Beca as she jumped in to bed with her ex.
As Chloe left Beca's building she grabbed her phone and put it to her ear
"Hello?"
"Aubrey…it…it's me. Please come meet me…I need you" Chloe spluttered out through her tears. If anyone was always there for her it was Aubrey, no matter what she was doing Aubrey would drop anything for the red head.
Chloe arranged a place to meet with her best friend as she carried on walking down the street, wiping her tears away from her cheeks on to her sleeve.
Beca's POV
Beca couldn't move, had the red head just finally declared she didn't want to see her again. The brunette shut her door and walked slowly back in to her kitchen, she placed her elbows on her worktop as her head collapsed in to her hands.
This is so messed up, she hates me. The fuck am I gonna do
"Becs…" a timid voice woke Beca up from her thoughts, as she lifted her head and elbows off the work top.
"I'm so sorry, if you want I will call her and explain nothing happened" Amber offered her.
"No it's fine, It's my mess I'll sort it" Beca replied with a smile of gratitude towards the blonde.
"Okay well I better get going anyway, thanks for last night Bec. I'm so glad we can still talk to each other. You were and always will be a big part of my life, text me later" Amber hugged the brunette as she walked out of her apartment.
Beca's thoughts were still on Chloe as she got dressed, it surprised her how little she was focused on Amber, seen as they had just kissed and slept in the same bed together
That kiss was the biggest mistake ever
Beca sipped her coffee as she tried to make sense of the situation, Chloe looked so cut up yet she is supposedly happily engaged.
The DJ's phone vibrated next to her, it was unknown number. Last time she received this it was
Aubrey…shit
Becca let it ring, the last thing she wanted was a lecture from her
'Beca answer your phone now or I will come over and kick your stupid tiny little ass'
How does she know I know who it is
Again Beca's phone lit up with unknown, reluctantly she swiped it and answered the phone.
"Hello…"
"What have you done Beca?"
"Huh?"
"Don't Huh? Me. Chloe has just spent the last hour crying on my shoulder and now she's gone"
"Listen I don't know what she's told you but nothing happened with me and Amber. PLUS she is engaged Aubrey, why does everyone keep forgetting this? Why should it matter to her any way. What do you mean by gone?"
"Wait…she didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?" Beca's voice was now nervous with the blondes last question
"Oh my god, Of course she didn't because that would be too simple"
"Aubrey, what didn't she tell me?"
"She left him Beca…she left him for your tiny smirf ass! And you went and slept with your ex. Nice move Beca"
Beca didn't know if she was being serious, of course she was why would she make that up
Chloe left Tom for you…and you answered the door with your ex in your Pj's
"Helloooo hobbit you still there?"
"Yes I'm still here I…ah…Aurbey where is she?" Beca was panicking now
I need to see her, I need to see her now
"Andddd we're back at the start. I told you she's gone, she has just taken off Beca. I swear to god If anything happens to her" Aubreys voice was now at her threatening tone, which Beca was all too familiar with.
"I didn't sleep with Amber! Look Aubrey I think I know where she is…I'll call you if I find her" Beca had an idea of where the red head could have gone.
"Wait Beca where do yo" Beca quickly cut off the phone to the blonde, she didn't have time to explain. More than likely Aubrey would want to tag along, this was something Beca needed to do herself.
The brunette quickly grabbed her coat as she went charging through her front door, Beca was met with another body, colliding together.
"Whoaaa, why the hurry?" It was Jesse, of course he would turn up just as things were getting intense.
"Long story…but I could do with a ride while you're here?" Beca asked hoping Jesse wouldn't ask too many questions before giving her a ride.
"Come on then, it looks exciting whatever it is" Jesse replied as he threw his car keys in the air catching them as he led the way out to his car.
On the journey over Beca briefly filled Jesse in, of course leaving some of the details out. Beca was too busy thinking of Chloe to give a full story to him.
"Sooo, I need you to take me to here" Beca requested as she lifted her phone with a map on it, to Jesse's face.
"Got it" Jesse replied as he started to increase speed.
As they were pulling up, Beca could see a figure sitting alone.
Red hair
It was Chloe, not only because of the hair. Beca felt some kind of gravitationally pull whenever Chloe was near her, she couldn't explain it.
Beca thanked Jesse as she got out of his car and closed the door gently, she waved at him as he slowly reversed backwards.
It was just Beca and Chloe, the brunette slowly made her way over to Chloe sitting on the beach by the sea. Becca couldn't help but smile at the memory of when Chloe took her here, it felt so special.
Beca shoved her hands in her hoodie pockets as she carried on walking, taking a deep breath as she tried to think of what to begin saying.
Chloe was still yet to notice, Beca was here. Until of course she felt the same gravitational pull as Beca did. She slowly turned around locking eyes with Beca, her face was unreadable as the brunette braced herself.
Ahhhhh sorry to end it there…next chapter should be up tomorrow :)
