Beca had no idea how this party was going to pan out. All she knew was if she drank too much her hands would like to roam. From the looks of it, her hands had one person in mind they wanted to touch.

"Fuck, Beca!" She screamed at herself in the mirror while putting on her clothes for the party. She was not ready for this. Not ready at all.

A buzz from her phone made her lean over and look who was texting her.

Party party party! Are you excited for tonight? There may be some bad boys there ;)

Chloe please dont start setting me up with every guy you see. I'll kill you.

You would miss me too much if you did.

Ehh, not really. Me and Aubrey can become friends.

What?! Have you already been drinking? You and Aubrey friends?

haha no. Speaking of, will there be drinking tonight?

Duh. We aren't lame you know. I plan to be tipsy right away. Why are you against drinking or something?

Beca wondered what kind of a drunk Chloe would be. With her luck she would become a flirty lesbian and make it unbearable for Beca to keep her hands off her.

No, just wondering. See you soon.

See you soon hott stuff!

Beca got up from her desk as she heard three knocks on her door. She opened it and immediately fell into a daze. There was Chloe in those shorts and shirt that made her body look even more amazing, if it was even possible. But, this time, her hair was in a messy ponytail and all Beca could see was her collarbones perfectly sculpted and her blue eyes sparkling back at her.

"You're beautiful." shit. Did Beca say that out loud?

"What?" Chloe for the first time since Beca had met her looked like she had nothing to say.

"Um, yeah. I mean you look really great tonight. Sorry, didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." She mentally slapped herself.

"No, no!" Chloe grabbed her hand. "I just don't remember the last time someone called me that. It just felt really nice." She let go of her hand and looked down, obviously embarrassed.

"Hey, Hey. Look at me." It was Beca's turn to be the talker. "I know I don't know you very well yet, but if there is one thing I do know it is that you are beautiful. Inside and out Chloe." When the hell did she turn into some sap? Not a good look Beca, not a good look.

"Thank you." Chloe pulled her into a hug and Beca for the first time didn't feel uncomfortable.

"Anytime. Don't be putting yourself down. Lets go get some drinks in us huh?"

Chloe's smile returned and she led them out to her car.

They pulled into a driveway and Beca could hear the music coming loudly from inside the house.

"Who's house is this?"

"Some kid name Donald on the Trebles. Come on, lets get inside I'm freezing!" Chloe grabbed her hand and pulled her to the front door.

"HEY!" Everyone at the party said in unison when they walked in.

Aubrey quickly pulled Chloe away into another room and Cynthia Rose took Beca in the kitchen to get a drink.

"So tell me," Cynthia Rose poured a glass of whatever she was drinking and one for Beca

"Tell you what?"

Cynthia Rose looked around to make sure they were alone

"You're gay right?"

"What?!" How the hell did she know?

"I mean I'm not 100% sure, but I had to ask."

"Yeah, I'm gay. But please don't say anything. I'm not ready to just have to explain it all to the Bellas yet."

"You know, I'm gay too and all the Bellas know. They don't have a problem with it, even Aubrey."

"What about Chloe?"

"Chloe? That girl probably wouldn't care if I said I wanted to date birds. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met."

"Okay good, I was worried."

"About what? Oh. Shit." A smirk playing on her face. "You like Chloe!"

"SHHHHH! Keep your voice down damn! And I do not like Chloe."

"You totally do, and I get it. That girl is so good looking it almost makes me sick."

"Whatever. I see you look at Stacie."

"Oh, I don't try to hide that. Even Stacie knows. I'm pretty much in love with her at this point."

"What? In love with her? Kind of didn't see you like that."

"Like what? Someone who can like someone a lot? I know I may seem all tough but that girl has me weak at the knees."

"And she's straight?"

"Ehh, its debatable. I'll win her over. I know it." She raised her glass in triumph

"Good, I hope you do."

Suddenly Beca felt two arms wrap around her.

"BECAWWW."

She turned around and punched Jesse's arm. "Dude!"

"What?! I can't say hi to my friend?"

"Keep calling me that and our friendship ends."

"Pshh whatever. Can I ask you a question?"

"I'm gay, I won't go out with you."

"I know, it still kills me, but no that isn't my question."

"Shoot."

"Can you hook me up with Chloe?"

Beca coughed up her drink "Excuse me what?"

"Chloe, your friend. I know you said no Treble rule but that girl is so hott it will be worth the risk."

"No way. No no no."

"You like her don't you?"

"What?! No, everyone stop saying that."

"Then hook me up! Beca come on, I'm a good guy you know that."

"Whatever." Beca walked away and into the living room. Maybe he was right. He is a good guy, Chloe is a good girl. And maybe, Cynthia Rose was right she did sort of like Chloe. She was trying hard not to though. Chloe likes guys, she doesn't know Beca is gay, and Jesse likes girls. Why try to prevent them from getting together? And maybe, if Chloe and Jesse got together, this little "crush" would go away.

"Chloe!" Beca yelled out across the room.

"Hey best friennnnnd." Chloe was obviously drunk

"My friend Jesse over there wants to talk to you, you should go hang out with him. He's a good guy I promise."

"What about you? Why aren't all the boys trying to get with you?"

"Don't worry about me Chloe. Go see Jesse."

"Fineee. Come see me in a few? I miss youuu."

Beca laughed and pushed her towards Jesse. If she just did a good thing for both of them why was she feeling so bad?

"Did you just hook Chloe up with Jesse?" Came Cynthia Rose's voice from behind her

"Uh yeah, he likes her."

"So do you! Don't try to hide it from me either."

"So?!" She turned around suddenly growing angry "So what if I do? She's straight! She's not into me. I don't do these crushes and lovey dovey stuff. I'm not like you and can just say I'm weak in the knees for her. I would hurt her and I'd be the complete fuck up."

"Woah, girl calm down. I'm just saying don't give her a reason to think you aren't interested. You're not a fuck up either."

"Whatever. I'm going outside to get some air."

"Wait Beca!" She turned back to Cynthia Rose.

"You want to know what a drunk Chloe said to me earlier?"

"What?" Beca was growing impatient.

"That you called her beautiful today and that she wants you to know you're beautiful too."

Beca looked over sadly, Jesse and Chloe who were now huddled in the corner, their faces inches apart. Hurt and angry she continued to head back out to the front door. "Fuck this."

It had been a good 20 minutes Beca thought that she was out there. She was freezing but the numbing feeling of the cold fit perfectly with her mood. She kicked rocks and closed her eyes to feel the wind only to be startled by Cynthia Rose running into her.

"Beca! Come inside I think your girl needs you"

"What?!" She quickly got up at the sound of the worry in her voice. "What's wrong?!"

"When Jesse got up to get them both drinks, some frat guy came and talked to Chloe and brought her out back. There is a bunch of land out there and they haven't seen Chloe or this guy Tom. He wouldn't hurt her, but she is really drunk and he looked like he wanted in her pants."

"What the fuck?!" She ran through the house and out the back. This wasn't happening.

"CHLOE!"

"CHLOE!" Her heart pounding in her ears as she got out her phone to get some light.

"CHLOE!" She didn't realize she had tears running down her face until one fell onto her phone's screen.

"Shit. CHLOE!"

"Beca?" came a soft whisper to her left. She turned quickly to see Chloe sitting against a tree with her face in her hands.

"Oh my god, Chloe. Are you okay? What happened? Where the fuck is that prick Tom? I swear to you he is dead."

"Shh stop. Please just stop. He brought me out here and started making out with me. I was enjoying it at first but his hand started to go up my thigh and under my shorts and I told him to stop. I wasn't into him like that. He tried to tell me how hott I was and that we would be great but I told him to go. He pushed me off and called me a slut and a tease and got up and left. I feel so stupid."

"Chloe, god you are not stupid. Shh. You scared the crap out of me, come here."

She leaned up against the tree and brought the taller girl into her lap and held her for a few minutes.

Chloe pulled back to look at Beca and ran a thumb across her cheek. "You're crying?"

"You scared me Chloe. No one knew where you were."

"I'm happy it was you that came and found me." She half smiled through tears

"Why is that?"

"So I can personally tell you, you're beautiful."

It took all of Beca not to kiss Chloe right there. But, she knew she shouldn't. With the night they both just had she didn't feel it was appropriate and there was so much they needed to talk about first. She opted to kiss her cheek and rub her back as Chloe collapsed back into her. She was so thankful she was the one that found Chloe. The feeling of being here to protect her was enough to send Beca to the moon.
