Chapter Six
Chloe stood in the hallway of Beca's building, stunned. She couldn't move either could she progress what just had happened. Did Beca just tell her that she still loved her? Or did she just imagine things? A voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Could you please just leave? You're pretty loud", I female voice shouted through the hallway, annoyed. Confused Chloe looked outside and then back to the direction where the voice came from. "What? I didn't-", she tried to say, but she got cut off by a sharp 'shh'. The young woman sighed and left the building.
Honestly, she didn't know if she should be happy right now or terrified. Still she wasn't so sure if she just imagined things. Slowly she strolled over the campus, back to her dorm room. She wished that Aubrey was still awake, it would help her if she could talk to her now.
Chloe opened the door softly to check if the lights were still on, but no, they were turned off. That meant that her blonde friend was already asleep and who was she to wake her? They had Bella's practice tomorrow morning anyway, Chloe could tell her then. She jumped into a loose shirt and some sleeping shorts and fell asleep. With Beca on her mind.
The next morning was in a blur. Aubrey woke her roughly, probably still pissed because the red head acted like a jerk and left earlier. Chloe dressed and left the room too. When she reached the auditorium she saw Aubrey looking through some papers. "Bree?", she asked softly. The blonde didn't turn around but answered her. "Yes Chloe?", her tone was firm, not warm or friendly. Like she would talk to a stranger.
"Why are you exactly mad at me? I mean, I didn't really harmed you. I was being an ass to Beca and in some kind of way to me, but not to you. So, why are you mad?", Chloe asked unsurely. She really did hope that she didn't forget anything. Aubrey sighed, turning around, facing her best friend with worry in her eyes.
"I am not mad at you, just a bit... shocked, I guess. I never guessed you would do stuff like that Chloe. It's just awkward, it was like you switched personalities the past few days. Once you were a sobbing mess, then you turned into a cold-hearted player or something and then you're the unsure young girl I met a year ago. The whole time I was wondering where the real Chloe is? The nice and sweet and caring Chloe. What happened?"
Chloe looked over to the entrance, checking if anyone would come in, before walking over to her best friend, lowering her voice.
"I guess the whole thing with Beca, her being back in my life, just messed a bit with me. This was very overwhelming and my head just wanted completely different things then my heart wanted and that you messed my emotions up. I'm sorry if I shocked, I don't plan on doing it again."
Aubrey nodded and hugged her best friend tightly. "Just remember you can always talk to me, okay?", she whispered into the ginger's hair before releasing her, "Did you two talked everything out?"
Chloe nodded, smiling. "Yeah, we finally talked over our feelings and told each other how sorry we are for what we've both done. There's something I don't understand, tough."
"What is it?", the blonde asked curiously while she looked through the papers again.
"Before we really talked, I told her that there was one emotion in her eyes that I couldn't put my finger on and when I left, she said it was love. But we settled on being friends first, she seemed really into it, so I'm not sure if I imagined things", Chloe explained, frowning.
Turning back to her friend Aubrey smiled warmly. Ah, Chloe missed that.
"Maybe she is just happy to be anything with you. Even when it's just being friends. Did you told her that you still had feelings for her?"
"Well, honestly, I was the one who suggested the whole 'being friends' thing", the other woman bit her lip.
"Oh god Chloe, of course, she would accept the offer", Aubrey laughed, but her laughter died down when the first girls entered the auditorium.
"Hello girls", she greeted. One of the girls sent her a seductive wink and the blonde blushed furiously and quickly looked away. Chloe made a mental note to herself to ask Aubrey later about that. Eventually the rest of the girls walked in too, including Beca. The tiny brunette sent her a shy smile and settled down.
"Okay, Chloe is handing you now the song list of the past years, then we practicing the choreography and the singing. Cool with you?", the blonde asked, looking around. Everybody nodded and accepted the papers Chloe gave them.
Then the red head reached Beca the girls smiled at each other almost lovingly. Their fingers brushed against each other when Chloe gave Beca the papers and her fingers lingered a bit longer. Someone cleared their throat behind them, turning around Chloe saw that it was Aubrey, sending her a stern look. When she walked back to her friend, Aubrey leaned closer. "As much as I appreciate it that you two finally talked everything out, try to stay professional during practice." Even when Aubrey winked at her at the end of the sentence, Chloe knew she was serious, so she nodded and blushed slightly.
"Aubrey? Can I say something to the set list?", the tiny brunette asked, all eyes on her.
Oh no, Chloe thought.
"Um, sure Beca. What's the matter?"
"None of these songs is from this century." A few girls nodded and smirked.
"Maybe... But it's Bella's tradition, so they stay."
"But-" Aubrey cut the brunette off.
"They stay Beca." Beca sighed but nodded.
She couldn't start a scene, not with Chloe's eyes on her and especially not with Aubrey since the blonde was so nice to her.
They went through the songs and the choreography like Aubrey said. In the end, the blonde told them that they had to do some cardio at the next rehearsal, which caused Fat Amy to complain loudly and a few groans from the other girls.
When everybody left Beca stayed behind. She wanted to talk to Aubrey about the set list. Beca catches the blonde before she could leave.
"Hey Aubrey, can I talk to you for a second?", she asked.
The blonde turned around, with a terrified expression on her face. "Uh no. I won't be your wing man or whatever. Sort out your feelings for Chloe by yourself."
Beca laughed, shaking her head. "No, I wanted to talk to you about the songs."
Aubrey sighed. "Beca, as much as I appreciate your enthusiasm, I told you the songs stay."
"Yeah, I got that, but maybe just one or two new songs?", Beca pleaded.
God, that girl was persistent. "I think about it, okay?"
"Okay, great", Beca said excited,
"Oh and Chloe... Do you think she still likes me?"
"Do you ever listen to what I'm saying?", Aubrey joked.
"I try to, but it's not always working. But there's another brunette who's pretty interested in what you're saying", Beca smirked at her new friend.
Again Aubrey blushed furiously. "Stacie?", she managed to croak out.
"Oh, actually I meant Cynthia Rose, but Stacie, huh?", the brunette joked.
"God damn it Beca. You're killing me", Aubrey laughed awkwardly.
"How about I'm helping you with Stacie and you're helping me with Chloe?", Beca asked hopefully.
"No way Mitchell. I told you to sort that stuff out on your own", with that the blonde left Beca alone.
The brunette sighed and tried to think of something how she could find out if Chloe was still into her. She came up with something so simple that she had to laugh at herself for not thinking of it earlier. So the tiny brunette grabbed her bag and head over to class, deciding that she would search for the red head later.
Class went pretty good. It was boring, though. The teacher ended it with a compliment because he was pretty impressed that most of the students were still awake. Beca had to laugh at that and decided that she would maybe like that teacher. Quickly she grabbed her stuff and head out to find Chloe. She spotted her sitting under a tree. Slowly she approached the girl.
Little did she know that Chloe had earphones in so she nearly died when she noticed the brunette next to her.
"Beca! You can't scare me like that!" Beca laughed softly.
"Can I ask you something, Chloe?"
"You already did Becs", the red head winked and Beca shoved her a bit.
"Are you into me Chloe?", Beca blurted out.
