I Will Never Stop Loving You

Chapter 4

TW: Blood and Violence

2 Years Later

Chloe was driving back from her first table read. She was so excited to finally be in an actual film! For the past two years she has been rejected over and over again, sure, she's been an extra here and there, but it's not real acting. But this is it, this is her big break. She was stuck in traffic, driving though LA was a nightmare! Chloe put the radio on to KIIS FM, her go-to radio station.

Beca had been really busy recently. She up to about 3 months ago, she had been stuck with the artists nobody else wanted, and they were all so stubborn and wouldn't let her change their songs. But then Taylor Swift, that's right, TAYLOR SWIFT, wanted help with a new song, a fresh angle, Beca sent her some ideas and demos and apparently she loved them. So they had been working on a song for ages. Which is great, and Chloe is so happy for her, but it means late nights and she just doesn't see Beca as much.

Traffic was at a stand still, Chloe was daydreaming about the bath she could have when she got home, but then the presenter on the radio caught her attention and she turned it up.

"… BRAND NEW TRACK from the one and only Taylor Swift and a new and upcoming producer Beca Mitchell…" Chloe full out screamed and immediately pulled out her phone and called Beca.

"…I've heard the song and I think it's incredible… so here it is… Haunted Dreams" the DJ continued. The song started and finally Beca answered.

"Babe, I'm really busy right now…" Beca began

"Becs! Shut up! You're on the radio!"

"I'm what?!"

Chloe turned up the radio further and held her phone to the speakers.

"HOLY SHIT! CHLO! I'M ON THE FUCKING RADIO!" Beca screamed

"Chlo, what station?"

"KIIS FM" Chloe then heard the radio on the other end of the line.

"Can you have the evening off, then?" Chloe asked, getting her hopes up

"I think that can be arranged" Beca replied

The song ended, "aaaannndddd that was Haunted Dreams by Taylor Swift and Beca Mitchell, I think we're gonna see a lot more of these two"

Beca screamed again, she was jumping up and down.

"Where are you right now?"

"Stuck in traffic"

"Ok, I'll get the champagne and meet you at home"

"Sounds good see you in a bit"

Chloe arrived about half an hour later to their VERY small apartment.

When they first moved they had barely any money, in debt up to their eyeballs. So their apartment was pretty much the only one they could afford, and they have never moved, even though now they have more money, they don't want move, they have made a home for themselves. Chloe stepped though the door to see Beca placing two plates of stir fry on the breakfast bar next to two glasses of champagne. Beca looked up at Chloe, she then leaned against the bar and flicked her hair behind her shoulder.

"Oh, hi there, I'm Beca Mitchell, hotshot producer, Taylor Swift phone number owner, and second sexiest person in the world"

Beca walked towards Chloe, grabbed her by the waist and pulled her flush against her body

"and you must be Chloe Beale, red carpet actress, Beca Mitchell phone number owner, and number one sexiest person in the world." Beca smiled and pulled her closer in to a kiss.

"That was smooth… but did you really just compare yourself to Taylor Swift?"

"Yeah! We're pretty much on the same level now"

Chloe traced Beca's jaw line with her lips, then whispered into her ear

"Did you cook this?"

"Well… I took it out of the takeaway boxes and put on real plates… so I'm gonna say, yes, I did cook it"

Chloe giggled, "I don't know if I count it but alright"

They sat down and ate the meal, and just talked about their days, afterwards Chloe put on some sappy movie but immediately ignored it, instead she tuned to Beca

"So. What's next for miss big shot producer?"

"Well, my boss really liked the track, so I'm hoping he's going to put me on to some bigger projects"

"Becs, that's great!"

"What about you, Chlo?"

"Well filming for the movie starts in a few weeks, it's going to based in LA, but we're going out to Las Vegas for a bit, I don't know how long"

"When will that be?"

"Oh, probably in a month or two"

"because… theres a big shot party I'm invited to next weekend… wanna be my plus one?"

"YES! That sounds so cool!"

The rest of the night unfolded like normal, Chloe would half watch the film while Beca snuggled closer and closer into her, then fall asleep on her shoulder and Chloe would continue to play with her hair.

The next weekend, Chloe and Beca were going to the party, they had both bought outfits especially, Chloe was wearing a skirt, Beca was wearing skinny jeans. It was at a new club and so they felt very important when they skipped the line, walked right up to the big guy with the clipboard and were let straight in and lead to the VIP room, which was filled with famous faces. They quickly got their drinks, and stood at the bar for a moment, soaking in the feeling. Soon after Beca's boss came up to them and introduced himself to Chloe, they made polite conversation for a few minutes. Then he took Beca to meet some new artists leaving Chloe at the bar. As she walked away she turned to Chloe and mouthed sorry, but Chloe didn't mind, she knew Beca needed to go to get her face out there and meet more people.

Chloe had been sat there for quite a while, she was well into her third drink, and was actually quite enjoying watching other people, move around. She was slightly missing Beca, when her thoughts were interrupted.

"Hi, excuse me" Someone was tapping her on the shoulder, Chloe turned to find her self face to face with Taylor Swift. Her mind went into overdrive, stay calm, do not freak out, she thought. She couldn't hear anything but could just see Taylor's lips moving, then they stopped and Taylor looking at Chloe expecting a reply.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"I said, you're Chloe, Beca's girlfriend, aren't you?"

"Yes, yeah, hi, nice to meet you"

"You too, I've heard so much about you."

Chloe relaxed a bit "Oh no! What has she said about me?" She asked concerned

"No, nothing bad! Just that you're an actress and can't resist a cuddle!" Taylor laughed

"Well… that's true!"

They continued to talk, they got on really well. Then Beca found her way back to Chloe.

"Chlo! Babe! I'm so sorry! That too way longer than expected… Oh Taylor! I didn't see you there"

It was obvious to Chloe that Beca was a bit drunk, because she became a lot more touchy feely when drunk, and she already had her arm around Chloe's waist.

"That's ok. How have you been! Chloe and I have been talking" Taylor answered

"What has she said?" Beca said to Taylor while looking into Chloe's eyes and smiling

"Not much just how excited you were when you heard our song on the radio"

"Yeah! I almost pissed myself I was so excited" Chloe rolled her eyes at that comment and Taylor giggled.

Beca had just ordered another round when Titanium came on, Chloe screamed and automatically grabbed Beca by the wrist and dragged her to the dance floor, while shouting back to Taylor

"Sorry! This is our song!"

Chloe immediately started grinding on Beca while their breathing got heavier and Beca held her close. When the song reached its climax, Beca pulled Chloe into a scorching kiss, they felt like they were the only ones in the whole club, their moment was ruined, when a guy purposely walked into them and growled "Fucking dykes". Chloe felt Beca's skin get hot, Beca was about to got after the guy, but Chloe takes her by the hand off to a quieter section.

"Chlo! We can't just let that douchebag walk off like that!"

"Becs calm down, it's alright, ok, you just need to breathe" This sort of thing has happened before, but one time Beca went after them and almost got arrested, again.

Beca's rage was growing "Babe, these sort of people need to learn some fucking respect" she shouted "They can't do that! They need to know what it feels like!"

Beca was singled out as 'the dyke' all through high school, so it really gets to her. She promised herself to never feel like that again, so when people make comments she gets angry, very quickly.

"Becs, don't worry about it, don't let him win. Don't give him the satisfaction of getting a reaction. Don't waste your time on low lives like him. Ok? Just chill out a little." Chloe said a calm voice. Beca went quiet, she had to blow off some steam so she paced back and forth until she was ready.

"Thanks Chlo, I love you" Beca pulled her into a hug

"I love you too. You good?"

"Yeah, I'm good"

Chloe took her by the hand back to the bar to get more drinks, by this time Beca was fairly drunk and Chloe was tipsy. Beca sat on a stool and pulled Chloe between her legs, so now there was no hight difference.

"So… where were we?" Beca put a finger under Chloe's chin and pulled her into a kiss. There was a tap on Beca's shoulder, but she chose to ignore it as things with Chloe were starting to get heated, but the tapping was persistent, so Beca held up one finger to the source of the tapping. Then she heard a deep voice.

"Mitchell! This is important!" Beca broke away to see her boss staring at her

"I can see you're… *cough*… busy… but Taylor's been looking for you, Ed's with her and he wants to meet you"

"Oh my god!" Beca turned to Chloe "I'm really sorry babe, but this is actually really important… and I know I say that a lot recently… but…"

"Becs, don't worry, I get it"

"I'll make it up to you" Beca replied with a wink, with that and a peck on the cheek, Beca walked off.

So Chloe was at the bar, a little drunker than she would admit, but Beyonce was playing so she was quite happy just singing along, harmonising, naturally.

"Wow! You have a fantastic voice." Chloe would've been flattered, if it was Beca saying that, but it wasn't. She turned to see a tall guy with huge muscles and, honestly, a bit of a tiny head.

"Oh, thank you" Chloe replied politely, nervously looking around to try and find her knee-high girlfriend.

"I bet it would sound better later, screaming my name" he continued confidently "I'm Jim" he held out his hand.

"Sorry, I'm here with someone"

"What kind of guy leaves a pretty girl like you at the bar"

"Oh, just my GIRLfriend" Chloe stressed

"I'm sure we could change that, you just haven't been with the right guy"

"No, fuck off " Chloe stood up and turned to find Beca

"I'm not done with you bitch" He drunkly grabbed Chloe's wrist and pulled her back, Chloe screamed.

Beca's head perked up, she wasn't too far away and instantly felt like something was wrong.

"What do you think?" Ed asked looking eager for an answer

"What? Hang on. I've got to find Chloe" Beca said, jumping over the sofa they were lounging on, she pushed through the crowd achieving some complaints. She came out to the bar to see some guy pinning Chloe to the bar, where the barman couldn't see.

"OH! HERE COMES THE FUCKING DYKE! WHAT DO WANT FAGGOT?"

Beca walked straight towards him, looking at Chloe to check if she was hurt, this made him step away from Chloe, shoving her in the process.

"DYKE. I ASKED YOU A QUESTION."

Beca saw red. He leaned down into her face, Beca balled her hands into fists. Knuckles going white.

"Becs! No! It's fine!"

"Yeah BECS, go back to your whore girlfriend"

That was it. She had gone past the point of no return. She took a step back, then quickly threw her right fist with all the weight of her body into the man's nose, a crack was clearly heard, and the guy yelled out in pain.

"ARGH! YOU BITCH!"

In a blink of an eye, he lunged back at Beca, punching her in the ribs and face, Beca got another swing at him in the jaw, although it probably hurt her more than him, shooting pains went though her hand. He kicked her in the ribs ad she fell to the ground, before he could get to her again the bouncers were holding him back.

Chloe helped her up and sat her on a stool, she got some ice from the barman and put it on her hand which was swelling up alarmingly fast, and dabbed her bleeding face with a napkin. Chloe sighed,

"Do you think you can walk?" Beca couldn't look her in the eye, she just nodded slowly. She took Beca's arm and took her to a cab, through the crowds of people looking at them

Beca broke the silence "I'm really sorry Chlo. I just couldn't… I was almost fine when he was shouting at me… calling me those things… but you… he called you…" Beca choked, a single tear fell form her eye.

"Babe, I know… I just wish… I wish you could just step away" Chloe said wiping the tear away with her thumb. Beca knew it was more than that, but didn't know what to say. They arrived at the hospital, and they sat in the waiting room with a fair few other people who seemed to have been in fights. They eventually got called, and Beca had multiple X-rays. She had three cracked ribs, and had broken her right hand in some way, other than that and a lot of bruising she was all good. She had to get a cast for her hand and a stack of pain killers then she was free to go.

It was really late by the time they got home. She looked at her phone which had 13 missed calls and 7 texts from her boss, but she threw her phone on the sofa, unwilling to unleash his wrath tonight. She walked into the kitchen, Chloe was facing away from her, holding a glass of water.

"Chlo, Babe?" Chloe turned around, her eyes rimmed with tears. Beca reached out her good hand to hold Chloe's.

"I'm sorry I wasn't with you all night, and about you know… I just… I don't know…"

"Becs… I forgive you… I'm just glad you're ok… I mean… you could've come out a lot worse than that"

"I know… I will try my hardest to not let it happen again… I love you."

"I love you too… Come on let's get you cleaned up."

Beca sat on the side of the bath as always, and Chloe washed the blood from her face, then lead her to the bedroom and gently undressed her, gasping when she saw the blooming blue and purple bruise on her ribs, Chloe brushed her fingertips over Beca's abs and ribs, resulting in a hiss out of Beca, who still had her head to the floor. Chloe put one finger under Beca's chin, pulling her head up.

"Becs… look at me" Becs dragged her eyes to meet Chloe's, they stood for a moment just looking at each other, Beca closed the gap between them, into a searing kiss, shoots of pain went though Beca's split lip, but it was worth it. Chloe gently lay Beca down, she went back to the kitchen to get some more water, when she got back to the bedroom, Beca was fast asleep. Chloe got changed then slipped in next to her girlfriend, Beca unconsciously cuddled up to her, Chloe quickly followed the brunettes lead and fell asleep with Beca's head in the crook of her neck.

A/N: Thank you for reading! Please review, tell me any ideas you have.

I don't condone violence, I just like the idea of Beca being protective.
