Title; Its You?
Summary; Beca & Chloe met when they were both 10'year olds. Beca promised Chloe that one day they would get married. Years later fate brings them back together in the least expected way.
Beca held Chloe's hand and intertwined their fingers, and smiled as she saw Chloe's tears are gone. She kissed the back of Chloe's hands "Are you feeling better?" she asked.
"Shouldn't I be the one to ask you that? Beca I'm sorr-" she was cut off when Beca placed her finger on Chloe's lips.
"It's fine, I kind of wished it was going to happen."
"Why?" Chloe asked.
"Because.. I never really loved Dana. I thought love will come within years of being married to each other but I guess I was wrong." She started driving back home. I need to tell her how I feel. Maybe soon Beca thought.
The next morning they got ready to go to Chloe's parent's home. On the way they made small talk about work and life.
"Chlo? Would you like to smoke a cigarette as well has have some cake and coffee?"
"YES PLEASE BECA" Chloe whined and Beca laughed.
"Okay Chloe we'll do that but on one condition."
"Okay Beca you will pay" Beca threw her fist into the air "YES SHE FINALLY UNDERSTOOD!" and continued in her laughter.
They reached to a small coffee shop and ordered coffee and 4 types of cake. Chloe noticed that Beca liked the vanilla cake because she ate half of it.
"Here eat this." she handed her the rest of the vanilla cake.
"No, it's okay, you can eat it if you want."
"No Becs, take it you ate 4 bites from it so that means you liked it the most because you only took a bite from the others."
"Wow, you noticed?"
Chloe nodded. " I notice everything Becs, how you take your coffee and how you drink your wine." she winked.
Beca blushed, none of the girls she knew did that to her.
" Let's get going?" Chloe nodded and said " I don't need to have a lecture from my dad"
" Mr. John" Beca greeted.
"Ah, Beca and Chloe you made it, we're starving come on, we will eat and then I need to talk to the both of you."
They sat on the table, but Beca excused herself to go to the kitchen to get water. When she saw Chloe's mother Clair enter behind her.
"Oh Mrs. Clair, do you want something to drink." Clair shook her head and thanked her.
"Beca, I need you to promise me to protect Chloe." Beca was taken aback from the statement.
" I promise, Chloe is a very important person in my life. Is something wrong?"
" I need to make sure that Chloe is safe with you." Clair knew why her husband wanted the meeting. He wanted the lake house her parent's gave to Chloe. He has been asking for the house for a very long time.
" As long as she's with me no one and I mean no one will hurt her."
"Becs, Mom where are you?" Chloe yelled from the dining room.
"Coming Chlo!" Beca said and looked at Clair and continued. " I promise nothing will ever happen to Chloe." and with that she left the kitchen
Beca and Chloe were sitting in the living room waiting for Chloe's dad to start. Chloe was afraid, Beca sensed it and wrapped an arm around Chloe's waist and brought her closer.
" Very well then, I will cut to the chase and say it once. I want your grandparent's house, your not living in it and I want to give it to one of your brothers."
"Dad we already talked about this! I am not giving up the house! All my memories are in that house!"
"Chloe! don't dare and speak with me in that tone!" John warned.
"I WONT GIVE UP ON THE HOUSE!" Chloe yelled.
John stood up and made his way to were Chloe was sitting but Beca stopped in front of him. "John calm down please and sit down, let me understand what's going on" John nodded and sat back in his chair, Beca also made her way beside Chloe. She saw the tears in Chloe's eyes, Beca tugged a stray of her behind Chloe's ear and wisphered " I'm here, nothings going to take anything from you, your wife is a good lawyer." she kissed her cheek and looked back at John.
" I want the house and it's final!"
" May I ask a question?" Beca asked Chloe who nodded.
" Is the house written in a contract that it's for you? I mean did your grandparent's signed it to you as an inheritance?"
Chloe nodded. " I was 18 at the time, my grandfather made me sign on papers which I didn't know what they are he just told me to sign them, and I did. 2 years later he passed away and I found out he left it to me."
"So is the contract more than 8 years?"Chloe nodded again.
" Then I'm sorry to inform you John but legally you can't do anything about it." John looked furious he wanted to speak but Beca spoke again. "Chloe would you mind starting the car? I'll be out in a minute." Chloe nodded and left again.
As soon as Chloe was out of her earshot Beca said " John, Can I pass by tomorrow? I will discuss it with Chloe maybe she can give you the house without any problem." John nodded and said " I will be waiting. See you soon" and with that Beca left making her way to the car.
On the way back Chloe was very quite, she couldn't believe what was happening, the lake house was the only thing she had to remember her grandparent's and her dad was going to fight her for it. Tears started rolling on her face. Beca's heart broke at the sight.
" Chloe I'll always be by your side. I won't let him take it I promise." Beca said softly.
" I can't let him take the only memory of my grandparent's!" she started crying again.
" Chloe may I ask a question?" Chloe nodded.
"Why did you never live in that house?"
"Because, I vowed to myself I will enter that house only when I'm married and I have a kid. I want my kid to be raised in the house I was raised in."
"Well we are married why you never took me?"
"Well, with the divorce I thought there was no need, you know because umm because we won't stay married for long and then I-I.."
Right, the divorce. I don't want to have a divorce. Beca thought. " Uh y-yeah, good point."
That night Beca couldn't stop thinking about the divorce. She wants Chloe she needed her, she couldn't remember her life before Chloe. She texted the only person she knows.
[Beca - 10:30 PM] Bree, I need your help, I'm lost. I broke up with Dana. She cheated on me with Tom Davis. And my feelings for Chloe are getting stronger every day.
[ Aubrey - 10:32 PM] Tell her, take her on a date and tell her Becs, AND I WILL DEAL WITH THAT BITCH!
[Beca - 10:37 PM] I was thinking taking her to a club with like all of us by next week? and as for Dana, leave it Bree she's not worth it.
[ Aubrey - 10:40 PM] Okay sure Becs, try to get some sleep please. Night Beca
The next morning Beca woke up a little after 8 AM, she was in the kitchen making coffee and thinking how to convince John to let go of the house. She had a plan she just hopped it would work. Seconds later Chloe entered the kitchen.
" Morning Beca." She said through a yawn.
"Morning Chloe, how are you feeling?" she could see that Chloe's eyes were puffy from crying.
"I'm okay, What are your plans today Becs?"
"Well I umm I have somewhere to be but as soon as I get back I'm taking you out how does that sound?"
"Are you asking me out on a date Mitchell?" Chloe teased.
"Maybe I am, Maybe I am not" Chloe laughed. and said "I'd be happy to go anywhere with you" she winked.
Beca blushed. "Damn Chlo, if you want me in bed just say so"
It was Chloe's turn to blush, images of her and Beca making love went through her mind.
"I'll go get ready, don't work today Chloe it's a Sunday." Beca warned and left.
Beca made her way to John's house, the whole ride she was debating with herself if she should tell Chloe about her feelings. She had two scenarios in her mind. 1) Chloe also had feelings for Beca or 2) Chloe would reject Beca and continue with the divorce. 20 minutes later she was knocking on John's house.
"Good morning Beca, come in"
"Good morning John" she sat in front of him in the living room. "Lets get straight to the point shall we?" John nodded.
Beca took a deep breath and said. "Look, I know you want that house, I don't care for what reason but legally speaking you can't have it. Plus your going to sell the house am I correct?" John nodded. "Alright, the house means a lot to Chloe, and I hate seeing Chloe sad, I'll pay 1.5 million dollars for the house."
"Nope."
"2 million."
"No!"
" fine 5 million dollars." she said as she wrote the check and gave it to him.
John was speechless, Beca was willing to pay 6 million dollars on a house that doesn't cost more than 1 million dollars. John took the check and tore it.
" If you are willing to pay that amount just to make my daughter happy then why would I take the check? I love Chloe but .. In my family having a girl was a disgrace. That's why I sent her to live with Clair's parents. The moment I held Chloe in my I knew I wasn't going to be able to give her the love she needed. If I'm hard on her it's just because that's what I was raised upon, but deep down I would die for Chloe. Beca I tore the check and today you showed me how worthy you are of Chloe."
"I'm really glad you talked to me about it. Chloe just hates the way you treat her, I love your daughter John. I'd do anything to see her smile."
" Tell her the house is for her, I won't take it anymore." Beca nodded. " Thank you John."
"No thank you Beca, you showed me how truly blind I am to be treating Chloe like that."
" I should go, Chloe's waiting for me and I have another thing I have to get to, We'll visit soon." And with that she left.
Unbeknownst to John and Beca, Chloe's elder brother heard the full conversation, and he was determined to take the house from Chloe, no matter what was the cost.
Dan, Chloe's eldest brother made his way to Beca and Chloe's house he knew the address from his father. He took the opportunity to go when he heard that Beca. He knocked on the door and Chloe opened the door. She was surprised that Dan was here.
"D-Dan hi. What are you doing here?"
" I came to talk to you about something."
"S-sure"
" Give the house to dad Chloe." he said firmly.
Chloe sighed. I thought he came because he missed me. " Dan, It's between me and Dad."
"No Chloe that house should've been OURS not yours!"
"What do you want DAN? Nana and Papa gave me the house because they knew I wouldn't sell it!"
SLAP!
Dan slapped Chloe on the face she fell back on the Sofa. He put his hands around her neck attempting to choke her.
" GIVE THE HOUSE TO DAD!"
"DAN GET OFF ME PLEASE!" Chloe pleaded, crying.
" GIVE THE HOUSE TO DAD YOU UNGRATEFUL-" He was cut off when he heard the house door slammed.
It was Beca.
Dan backed away as he saw Beca approaching.
She was calm.
She bent down to Chloe's side saw her face and neck red. She was fuming.
Despite being tiny, she was very strong. She punched him in the stomach making him fall to the ground, then she held him from the collar of his shirt.
"If you ever, put your hands on her again I will end you! do you understand me?" he didn't respond, she punched his face, " DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND ME DAN!"
Dan nodded.
" You see Dan just because I am a girl doesn't mean I can't hurt you. If you want to play dirty fine by me, but be prepared for the hell I am going to give you. Now I want you to get the hell out of my house, stay away from Chloe within a 100 meter understood?" He nodded, and she continued. " IF YOU EVER HURT MY WIFE AGAIN I WILL END YOU DAN!" She made him stand up and and dragged him to the door and pushed him out.
Beca made her way to Chloe who was speechless.
"Chlo? Chlo dear look at me." she said softly.
Chloe started crying as Beca held her between her arms whispering calming words.
" Do you need to go to the hospital? are you hurt?" Chloe shook her head and whispered. "Hold me" Beca nodded. "Lets go to my room." Chloe nodded and followed Beca. They both laid on the bed Beca opened her arms and Chloe rushed to the embrace. She was safe. "Calm down Chloe, I'm here now."
Chloe hugged Beca like her life depended on it. Beca was stroking Chloe's hair attempting to make her sleep. " I'm falling for you Chloe" she said as the redheads breath evened out. "I'm falling for you too Beca" Chloe thought.
Too Much Drama I know.
