I Will Never Stop Loving You
Chapter 6
4 weeks later Beca and Chloe went back to the hospital, hand in hand, to get her cast removed. After they were walking towards a cafe, they were happily chatting about how much Beca can now do with her hand free from the cast prison. They stopped outside an independent coffee shop and looked inside
"It's quite busy… Do you think they have any tables?" Beca questioned. She turned to the red head looking expectantly. Beca felt a tap on her shoulder, she turned to find herself opposite a girl just shorter than her (which is quite a feat) who looked about 14.
"OMG! IT'S YOU!" the girl screamed, jumping up and down, shaking her hands
"Can I help you?" Beca asked carefully, slightly scared at the reaction of the young girl
"Beca! I am literally your biggest fan in the world ever oh my god i can't believe it i love you so much…"
Beca looked at Chloe wide eyed, she turned back to the girl "Thank you, that means a lot"
"Can I please have a picture?"
"Yes, yes of course" Beca smiled for a photo with a girl before she went on her way.
"Well… that was an experience…" Beca said, still in a bit of a daze
"Becs! That's so exciting! You just got recognised!" Beca blushed and bowed her head, she took Chloe's hand and pulled her inside the cafe.
"Come on…"
A few days later Chloe left for Las Vagas. Kissing Beca at the door
"Call me whenever you're free" Beca said
"Of course Becs, talk later" Beca continued to wave until she couldn't see the taxi anymore. She turned back inside and looked at the empty room, everything seemed so much sadder when Chloe wasn't around.
Beca trudged into her office and sat staring into space, thinking of Chloe. Her phone rang, jolting her back to reality.
"Beca Mitche.." She started miserably, before being cut off
"BECAWWW!"
"Oh, hey Jesse"
"Why so glum, chum?"
Beca sighed "Chloe's gone"
"WHAT? WHERE? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? BECA!"
"Jesse! Chill out! She's in Vegas filming"
"DON'T DO THAT TO ME!"
"JESSE STOP SHOUTING"
"Sorry… But you're speaking like she'd died… she's not…"
"NO! Stop being such a drama queen… she's been gone for two weeks and we barely speak because we are both so busy…"
"Stop making excuses"
"What?"
"If you want to be with her… go be with her…"
"I can't just go out to Vegas…"
"Yes you can… Do it… Just drive out there…" Beca was seriously considering the idea, before she could say anything Jesse continued
"Listen, Beca… you're not going to do any work today anyway, cancel your meetings, pack a bag and drive out there"
Beca was silent, then her mind drifted to Chloe's smile as it often did, Beca thought about when Chloe wears that one lip gloss and she…
"BECA! You're thinking of her again… GO"
"Ok, I'll do it… oh wait, did you call for something?"
"Don't worry, now go get your girl!" Jesse called
"Such a drama queen!" Beca said as she hung up, shaking her head.
Beca looked at her calendar, she saw that she had 2 meetings and 1 studio session with some new artist. She decided to call them later, she picked up her bag and ran out of the office. As she went past Kelly the receptionist
"Hey Kelly, I'll be out all day"
"Ok, no problem Beca. See you tomorrow."
"Oh, yeah… um… I might be out tomorrow too… I'll email you. Sorry I'm in a rush… See you later Kelly" Beca waved as she speed walked out to get back home. Beca packed the essentials: laptop, headphones, phone then, you know, some clothes and stuff. She shoved it all in the first bag she saw. Just before she left the flat, she heard Chloe's voice in her head
Have you turned off all the switches and lights? Are all the windows locked?
Beca turned back inside and turned everything off and locked all the windows she then went to the car threw her bag on to the backseat and set off.
2 hours in, Beca stopped for coffee and fuel. She sat for a moment and took put her phone, she was about to call Chloe, but decided against it, to not ruin the surprise, so she continued to drink her coffee, looking at all the cars in the petrol station watching different people come and go, she thought about how they all had their own lives, going to their different destinations meeting their own loved ones. Beca finished her coffee and went back to her small Volkswagen. She got back on the road, she checked the time, she had about another 2 hours to go so she would arrive at 4:30 ish, then she could surprise Chloe at her hotel and then take her out for dinner. They had previously agreed to Skype at 5:15, so as long as she was there before that it would be a great surprise, any time after and Chloe would know something was up.
All of a sudden the car started spluttering and coughing, she was in the middle lane of the motor way, so she quickly pulled over to the hard shoulder just before the engine cut out completely. She tried to restart the car with no success, she got out and then opened the bonnet and stared at the engine, it all looks so complicated she thought what do I do now? Ugh Chloe would know what to do… Beca looked around then got out her phone and called Jesse
"Wow! Are you there already? What did she say?"
"What? No Jesse, my car has just stopped"
"What do you mean stopped? Like, you've broken down?"
"Yeah, I was driving along and then it stopped"
"Well, what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything!"
"Ok! Umm… are you an AAA member or something?"
"I don't know! Why would I know something like that?!"
"Ok! Calm down! Chloe would know, why don't you call her?"
"Because what if she asks me where I'm going? How would I answer that?"
"Make something up… Say you were going to Taco Bell… I mean that's typical you!" Beca could just hear Jesse laughing on the other end of the phone
"Oh! Thanks! You are SO nice! Speak later" then Beca hung up.
Beca thought for a minute, before she decided that she would have to call Chloe.
"Hey Babe!"
"Oh, hey Becs, I'm really busy, but we're Skyping later, yeah?"
"Of course! but umm… I just need to ask you something…"
"Babe, where are you? Is that traffic in the background?"
"Yeah, I've broken down…"
"Broken down! Where were you going?"
"Err…Taco Bell…" Chloe started giggling
"Oh babe! What were you going to ask?"
"Umm.. do we have an AAA membership or something?"
"Yeah, look in the glove box, all the paperwork should be there"
"Ok thanks babe, we'll talk properly later"
"Yeah, see you then, I love you"
"I love you too"
Beca called the break down recovery and waited for 45 minutes for them to arrive, then they had to fix the car, something had blown so it was 'an easy repair' that they could do on the side of the road, that took another half an hour, so by the time she was back on the road she was about an hour and a half behind schedule, which didn't give her much time to get to Chloe's hotel before the Skype call.
For the rest of the journey Beca drove a bit faster than usual, trying to get some time back. Luckily, there was not much traffic, but she was cutting it close. Trying to find a hotel in general is a nightmare, in Las Vegas, the flashing lights are very distracting which also makes it harder, and also Beca was in a rush, so it would obviously take double the time. Just as she found the hotel, her phone started ringing, showing Chloe's name, she quickly parked before the phone started ringing again. Beca couldn't resist, she just couldn't leave her phone to ring. She picked up
"Becs! Where are you?!" She heard a frustrated Chloe on the other end
"I… Ummm… Just trying to find my laptop… I won't be a minute…" Beca stuttered out
"Ugh… I've been waiting for this all day!"
"I know baby… I'll be with you in 2 minutes" Beca hung up and laughed at how literal that statement was. Beca left her bags in the car, there was no time for that now. She then ran up to the lift, took it to the third floor, and looked along for 347, Chloe's room. 345, 346, 347. This was it. Beca knocked on the door, and took a step back. She could hear Chloe's footsteps from inside the room, the lock turning. As the door opened Beca could smell Chloe's perfume, then Chloe started to say something before she looked up.
"I'm really…" Their eyes connected
"Holy shit! BECS!" Chloe surged forwards into a bone crushing hug
"Ooph! I did say I'd be with you" Beca said grinning
