It was in the evening that Chloe found herself outside Beca's door. She misses her. Taking a deep breath, Chloe barges in without knocking.

"Are you leaving us? " Chloe throws out straightaway as she stands at the doorway of Beca's room, blocking any possible exit Beca has of running away from her. Her heart is pounding and she's afraid . But she's Chloe Beale and this is what Beales do, they tackle the problem and issue head on, the direct opposite of Beca.

"You've moved out of the room. Our room. You're distant,you're avoiding us... What are you planning Becs? Are you..." Chloe doesn't dare ask again, she's scared. Afraid that another person in her life is gonna walk away and never come back.

Beca knows exactly what Chloe is insinuating. How could she allow Chloe to think that? What kind of girlfriend was she to do that to her? 'Chlo baby - it's not like that. Listen, can you just -' she stops suddenly, and makes a noise of frustration. Beca doesn't know how to explain it. She can't. Chloe's better off not knowing .

You're probably better off not knowing what she might have been about to say, yet you find yourself wanting to know the end of that sentence. It feels like you've been waiting for it for a while.

'Can I just what, Beca? Not worry? Sit there and assume everything's gonna turn out fine? Just let you do your thing? Whatever it is. Let you get yourself killed?!" Chloe rants, anger taking over her fear.

She meets Beca's glare full on. Her jaw shifts, words forming at her lips. That almost makes Beca tell her everything she's planning, she seldom saw Chloe angry and never could bear it. Chloe thinks Beca might actually spill and her shoulders start tensing in wait for it.

But once again, Beca just shuts down. 'Nothing,it's nothing. Stop worrying it's nothing serious' she says on an exhale, and turns to face the wall, not daring to face Chloe.

Beca knows she's doomed but yet she can't bring herself to look at Chloe in the face. Chloe would keep her locked up in the room if she even had the slightest clue of how she was going to get the money, and she can't let that happen. So Beca just lets Chloe go, watches her as she seethes and stomps out the room and down the stairs on her own. Her jaw clenched so tight it feels like her teeth might break. There's a part of Beca that wants to run right after Chloe, wrap her arms around her and beg for forgiveness, that everything will go back to the peaceful state they had before. But her mind is made up, nothing's gonna stop her now.

Downstairs, Chloe fumes. She's upset , she's angry, she's worries. She knows Beca's going to do something stupid again she knows it! But she's so goddamn infuriating it's maddening!

Chloe feels a hand on her shoulder. It's Aubrey.

"You want me to go talk to her?" Aubrey asks smiling sadly. Aubrey's upset too, she thought the 3 of them were unbreakable, that they were good. But Beca chose to run away from them . Again . Even moving back to her own bedroom away from them and it hurts. Everything hurts.

"No.." Chloe says holding Aubrey's hand for comfort.

Unbeknownst to them , Cynthia Rose has been watching all these unfold from the kitchen and she hates herself for causing a rift in their relationship. The guilt inside is eating her up and she tries not to cry as she hides her whimpers in the kitchen, praying they don't notice her.

Beca lies still in her bed. If one were to walk in, they would think she's asleep, unknown of how fast her heart is beating, her nerves getting the best of her. Her hands are shaking slightly and her blood is pumping with adrenaline. She can do this. She can and she will.

She can't believe she's going back there . Days ago Beca has called so many people she swore to never talk to ever again. Digging up information , places, making deals. Dressed in all black with her black hoodie over, Beca is nervous exited and scared all the same. Minutes feel like hours and she's counting down. Time passes so slowly. So so slowly and Beca feels that this is torture itself. The wait is killing her. But she forces herself to have patience. Has got to ensure that all the Bella's are in deep sleep when she sneaks out. She's so ready for it, mentally prepped for it, her face determined.

2.30 am.

2.45 am.

2.50 am.

2.55 am.

2.57 am.

2.58 am.

2.59 am.

It's time.

After spending the rest of the day comforting Aubrey , Chloe had been intending to just to go to bed and scream into a few pillows after , – but on her way to their room, she passes Beca's. And she can't help but pause. Some strange force takes over her legs and leads her to her room – Chloe yearns for Beca's touch. She's always been more for physical touches. Slowly, she pushes Beca's door open, careful not to wake her. She sees a lump on the bed and smiles to herself. Oh this was too easy. Slipping off her bedroom slippers, Chloe slowly crawls into bed to cuddle with Beca. Feeling a slight remorse for leaving Aubrey out, yet there was no body warmth she felt. Instead, it was a lump of pillows and Beca's bolster.

In her shock, Chloe screams.
