Naah, I'm not so satisfied with this one. Honestly I wasn't so sure how they could talk or well start to talk, but well it is what it is. Hope you still like it. Sorry for possible mistakes. Thank you for all the favorites, followers and reviews!
I listened to all of the songs and love them, thanks for that!
Enjoy the reading :)
Again, I don't owe anyone here
Chapter Three
The auditions went good so far, but they weren't finished yet and even when Chloe didn't wanted to admit it, she waited for Beca to appear. Aubrey kept stopping her leg from a nervous bouncing up and down and rubbed her arm reassuringly whenever someone new walked on the stage who wasn't Beca.
Slowly the red head lost hope that the tiny brunette would walk on the stage. Her blonde friend looked down at the papers to see if anyone would come, but there was no one left. She was scared to tell her favorite ginger that Beca probably won't show up. But then the brunette surprised everyone again with showing up.
She looked beyond nervous and fiddled with her hands. "I didn't knew that we had to prepare anything", Beca said unsure, looking around, not knowing what to do.
Aubrey felt her best friends leg bouncing again and decided to help the small heart breaker. "Don't worry, just sing anything you want", she told the brunette, smiling slightly. Actually she was a bit surprised, she hadn't expect that Beca looked so... different, for lack of a better word.
"O-Okay", the brunette stammered, glancing at Chloe, before sitting down on the stage and asking for a cup which stood on the small table where Aubrey and Chloe sat. Aubrey nodded her head at Beca and gestured for her to go on. Taking a very, very deep breath she started to make a complicated mix of clapping and tapping the cup, creating a very nice rhythm It sounded actually really good and Aubrey was even more surprised when Beca started to sing.
"I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow. What d'you say?
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers
It's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone"
Beca sighed when she finished looking at Aubrey and Chloe with hopeful eyes. The blonde nodded at her. "We're going to think about everything and let you our decision know." "Sounds good", the brunette said, barely audible, nodding too. The two girls got up and tried to walk away, but Beca stopped them. At least one of them.
"Chloe, can we talk for a second?", she asked, again the desperation all present in her voice. The red head sighed, looked at Aubrey and then nodded.
"Yes, okay. But not here."
"There's a nice cafe, you should go there", Aubrey chimed in, which caused Chloe giving her a glare.
They went there anyway and Aubrey was right, the cafe was nice. Really cute. Both of the girls sat down, ordered a coffee and fell into a awkward silence. "So, how have you been?", Beca asked nervously. Chloe looked at her with a disbelieving expression and shook her head. "Okay, no small talk then." "Right."
"Well, I guess I owe you an explanation and a apology", Beca tried again. She felt very uncomfortable and the cold side of the ginger didn't helped at all. "You're damn right." She sighed, taking a sip of the hot liquid in front of her, slightly burning the tip of her tongue.
"First off, I'm so sorry how things worked out. I know that me and my behavior was the cause for our break up and I felt horrible after it and for it. Back then I was too proud and stubborn to follow you to your car and apologize right then, but now I know that it was my fault and over the months I learned that I have to apologize for my mistakes. Well, that's at least what my therapist told me", the brunette confessed, laughing softly.
Chloe's head shot up at the word 'therapist'. "You talked to a therapist?", she asked surprised.
Beca shifted uncomfortably in her seat, but nodded. "After you got back into your car I stormed off, just walking around, but eventually I went back home. I told my dad what happened and what I did the months before. He was actually pretty shocked that he never noticed anything and felt horrible that he wasn't there to help me. I also told him that you said that I needed to grow up and that I wanted to do that.
So suggested for me to go to college, but I declined, knowing that my grades were far too bad for college. Dad insisted to get me into the college he worked in, I explained that I wanted to go back to high school so I could get better grades. He actually thought it would be a very good idea."
Again Chloe found herself surprised at Beca's doing. She knew that Beca hated high school.
"Even when I'm pretty surprised, that doesn't explains the therapist", she pointed out.
"Oh yeah, right. Well I knew that just going back to school wouldn't help me and especially not when these losers who dragged me into this shit, were around. The whole night I searched for a clinic where I could go into rehab. I found one here in Baton Rogue and a nice school. The only thing was that I had to convince my dad to move here, which was surprisingly easy. He agreed and searched for a job here, he got the one as a philosophy professor.
Anyway, the rest of the holidays I spent strictly only in the clinic and after it I started my new school year. During it I still went to the clinic for meetings with my therapist. This time my dad said that he wanted me to go to Barden, I agreed and here I am", Beca smiled slightly, gesturing at herself.
"Why did you went to a rehab?", Chloe asked.
"You told me to stop all of that shit, stop to run away and growing up. I did. I don't drink, I don't take drugs, I don't get into fights anymore, I faced my problems and worked on them and I grew up. Maybe you don't believe me, or trust me, which I can understand, but I'm saying the truth. Give me a chance to prove myself", the brunette pleaded.
The red head just sat there, listening. She didn't knew what to say or what to do. Why couldn't Aubrey be here? Telling her what to do? Not knowing what got into her, she sighed, got up and left the cafe without looking back. She only could imagine how shocked Beca must have looked. But she didn't turned back. Completely numb she walked to her dorm room, closed the door and sat on the floor, waiting for Aubrey.
After a few hours, Chloe could tell it was a few hours because it got dark outside, Aubrey finally came home. The blonde shrieked when she saw Chloe on the floor.
"Didn't went it well?", she asked concerned, sitting down next to her friend.
"She went to high school again. To rehab. Talked to a therapist to work on her issues. She said she grew up", Chloe said, without any emotions.
"And that isn't good?"
"It is, it is... I'm just not sure if I can trust her. Beca said she wanted a chance to prove herself."
Aubrey smiled brightly at that. "I already picked some new girls and Beca is one of them. Of course you'll look if you think the same, but this way Beca can prove herself. You can see her during the day and see how she's acting and stuff. Maybe she did indeed grow up."
"I trust you with the girls, but do you really think the idea with Beca is a good one?", Chloe asked worried, finally looking at Aubrey.
Her best friend never saw so much insecurity in the red heads eyes, neither did she did she ever saw her so vulnerable.
"Yes, I think it's a good idea. Chloe, what's holding you back? Yesterday you told me that you needed to talk to her and now? If you don't want this, please tell me."
"I want that, really, I'm just... nervous, I guess", Chloe confessed, looking at her fiddling hands. Softly Aubrey grabbed her best friends hand and drew calming circles on the back of it.
"How about you'll get her now and then we see how things are working? I still can kick her out if she doesn't behaves herself", Aubrey smirked at the end and Chloe smiled.
"Sounds good. I'll better get going then, huh?"
"Good luck ginger", Aubrey smiled and handed Chloe one of the black hoods.
Beca sat in her room working on some sheets for class. Frustrated she threw her pencil away, letting her head fall. She was almost 100% sure that she would never see Chloe again after what happened earlier in the cafe.
In a complete shock she sat there for almost 20 minutes, before she could move and go back to her dorm.
Because of her earphones she couldn't hear that someone sneaked into her room, but like someone planned it, she put them out, just in the moment someone brushed a dark hood over her head. Her hands shot up to grab the person, but soft hands grabbed hers first, putting them down again, holding them. Who was that?
"Prove yourself", a voice husked into her ear. A voice which made shudder and frozen at the same time.
Chloe.
Even when doesn't shows all of the reviews, I see them so please don't stop making some!
I really appreciate them and they help me :)
