A/N: Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope you all have a great holiday this week and enjoy this chapter, its not my best. Thanks for all the reviews and follows guys, it really makes my day :)

That following Monday, Jesse and Beca were on their way to school while Jesse was rocking out to the radio, singing like an idiot to Break Free by Ariana Grande. Beca was really excited to see Chloe today, just like any other day really, but today especially. The feeling she gets around this girl is unexplainable but amazing. She feels like this could be the start of something beautiful.

They got to school, parking in their normal space in the senior parking lot. They got there a little early so Beca sat down against one of the tree's out front and finished up some math work she never got to doing over the weekend. When she finished she just lied back, head on her bag listening to music, getting lost in her thoughts.

Time went by and soon enough the bell rang signaling its time to start the day. She made her way to her locker to get her things for the first couple periods. As the day went by, the time came to go to third period, meaning she was going to see her favorite redhead and she couldn't help but show up a little early to get as much conversation with the ginger as possible before the lesson actually started.

When Beca got to class, she was playing around on the computer for a while waiting for most of the class to get there. Jesse showed up, again right before the bell rang and plopped down right next to Beca.

"Look who's late again."

"Uh, I am not late. I got here just before the bell."

"It rang just as you were coming in, aka you're late. You really should work on that."

"Okay mom." Beca laughed.

"Where's Chloe?" Jesse asked. "It really isn't like her to be late."

"I'm actually not sure. Maybe she got caught up finishing a test last period and is coming late. I've done that plenty during finals week."

"We'll find out I guess."

Class continued on, doing an assignment that took them the whole period and before they knew it the bell rang. Beca wondered why Chloe didn't make it to class today. She just brushed it off and figuring she would see her in seventh and went on with the rest of her day. Beca made it to fifth period lunch. She sat with Jesse, Benji and Emily at their usual table. They ate while making plans to see what their plans were for after school.

When lunch was over, the four of them walked down the hall to their next class, which unfortunately they all had apart. They made plans for where to meet after school was over, seeing none of them had classes with each other the rest of the day. Later on in the day it was time for the last period of the day. Beca hoped to walk in and see Chloe already in her seat. But when the brunette walking into Anatomy, there was still no sign of the ginger.

Beca took her seat and waited, the late bell rang once again with no Chloe for the second time today. Now she was worried. Beca has not shown up for class before due to staying late to finish a test, doing something for the teacher, or maybe even being in the office and coming late with a pass. She didn't think anything of it when Chloe didn't show for class. Now things were going through her mind. Did she not show up today because she was sick? Or an emergency came up? Mrs. Stark took attendance marking Chloe absent.

She got through the day collecting the assignments Chloe missed. She met up with everyone else where they said they would be. Beca, Jesse, Benji and Emily got in the car to go back to Jesse's house. On their way back, Beca checked with Benji if Chloe showed up to the class they had together and he shook his head. She pulled out her phone to text the redhead.

"So I was really excited to go into third period today and see your sweet face. Imagine my disappointment when you didn't show up :( are you okay? I'm worried about you. Text me when you get this."

It took about twelve minutes until she heard her phone chime with a reply from the bubbly ginger.

[Chloe 4:01PM]

"Hey :) Don't worry, I'm okay. Wasn't feeling too well. I think I have a head cold. I'll get over it though. Thanks for thinking of me :)"

"Its crazy. I find myself thinking about you all the time now. I have some work for you that you missed today. I know that's probably the last thing you want to think about when you're not feeling well. But I could bring it over to you? Maybe help you with some of the Anatomy stuff. That way I could see you and catch you up on everything."

[Chloe 4:07PM]

"Yeah that's actually a great idea. I was just thinking about how I didn't want to be behind on anything. I hope its not a lot."

"Not at all, you didn't miss anything really in computer graphics but there's a packet she gave us today in Anatomy that she gave us time during class to do. The first three pages are for homework. I can come right over and bring it to you if that's okay?"

[Chloe 4:10PM]

"That would be so great Becs. Thank you. You are so thoughtful :)"

"Anything for you :) I'll gather everything and be over soon okay?"

[Chloe 4:15PM]

"I'll be waiting :)"

Beca smiled at that last message. As the four of them got to Jesse's Beca announced she was going to go bring Chloe some of her work because she was sick and missed it. Jesse smirked knowing very well how much she likes this girl. She has never dropped plans with them or anyone for a girl. If Chloe needs something, Beca seems to be on it right away, if she is sad, Beca wants to be the one there for her, to make her feel better. Chloe is bringing his cousin joy he has never seen in her. She has never been this happy or excited over anyone and he is glad she gets to experience such a beautiful feeling of falling in love.

Beca finished collecting thing things she needed to bring to Chloe as well as a few things to make her feel better. When she got to Chloe's house she expected her parents to be there but when she rang the bell nobody seemed to answer. She texted Chloe she was outside and she came down to let her in. Even with her in sweatpants, hoodie, no makeup, she still was beautiful (at least Beca thinks.) They walked upstairs to Chloe's bed room where there were a bunch of tissues scattered on the night stand, with some that fell to the floor and more blankets than usual on her bed.

"Sorry about the mess. I just didn't have the energy to clean everything up." She said a little embarrassed.

"Hey, don't apologize. If I was sick, it would be messier." She winked. "So I brought you everything you missed and a couple other supply's that are essential to me when I'm sick." Beca pulled out some cold medicine, a box of tissues (which she seemed to have plenty of), Gatorade, a couple of movies, and last not not least, a container of chicken soup.

"Wow, you really know how to make a girl feel better." Chloe smiled.

"I try. Being sick is not fun so I'll do what I can to make it a little more enjoyable for you if even possible."

"You're very sweet, you know that. I don't know what I ever did for you to be so good to me." Beca blushed.

"Like I said before, I'm very fond of you. You are special to me and I like having you around, you make me feel better without even realizing so I want to do the same."

Before Chloe said anything else, she pulled Beca into a tight hug. Beca was a little taken by this action, not expecting it but as soon as she realized what was happening she hugged back with just as much force. The two girls sat there on Chloe's bed hugging for a while, breathing in each others scent. Beca started to rubs circle on Chloe's back and she relaxed into it, already feeling better into the brunette's embrace. After about six minutes of hugging, Chloe decided to pull back, breaking the hug. Beca was a little disappointed but smiled again when Chloe sat back and patted the space next to her.

Beca climbed up the bed and laid down next to Chloe. Chloe was lying on her back and Beca propped herself to the side to face her, putting her weight on her elbow. Beca was taking in Chloe's feature just like she had before. Her perfect tanned skin, nice jawline, sparkly blue yes which seamed to dim due to being a little ill. Beca took another brave step and put her hand on top of Chloe's which rested, intertwined on her stomach. Chloe seemed to jump at the action but then relaxed to Beca's touch. She traced her fingers over her knuckles.

"So, where are your parents?" Beca asked not liking the fact that Chloe was alone all day. She could have needed something and nobody was here to help. She wishes she knew earlier; she would have blown off school just to spend the day taking care of her. Still a little surprising herself at how much she seemed to want to be there for Chloe, all the time, never doing this for another girl before. Like she said, Chloe is special.

"They both work. My mom wanted to stay to take care of me but I told her work was more important, besides I was fine. I took some medicine and slept most of they day." Beca felt better at the fact it was Chloe's choice to be left alone, not that she didn't doubt her parents wouldn't be here for her, she just thought they had to leave her.

"Did the nap help you feel any better?"

"A little. I was tired, still am a little tired. But anyway, lets see the work I have to complete."

Beca reached into her bag and pulled out her folder and Anatomy book. "Alright so, we are learning about the muscular system this week." She laid back against the headboard of Chloe's bed with both of their packets. "On the first page, we have to match all the types of muscles with their definitions. Like tendons which attach muscle to the bone or ligaments which attach bone to bone, muscle fiber, fascicles, perimysium, things like that. I already finished my three pages if you want to copy. I'll be your cheat sheet." She winked.

"Thanks genius, but I think ill do this on my own. What other way am I gonna learn if I don't do it for myself?"

"What a good student. Following the rules like a good little teacher's pet." She started a slow clap "Chloe Beale, ladies and gentlemen."

"You are such an idiot." Chloe laughed.

"Not all time time, but occasionally I have my idiot moments."

"Okay, lets just get this done so I don't have to think about it later. You can help but no giving answers away." She gave a serious look. Beca pretended to be scared at the way Chloe looked at her earning a giggle from the redhead.

"Okay so what's the answer to number one?"

"You just said you didn't want help." Beca said incredulously.

"KIDDING. I was testing you. Congrats you passed."

"Oh." Beca laughed. "Good one, your tests are easier to pass then her tests."

"Do we have a test?"

"We might, I think after we do this packet she'll give us a test on it."

"I like that."

"You like that were having a test?!"

"No, I like how she is going to test us based on this packet. It helps me learn after I do packets that are made easier like this, it sticks to my brain better."

"Me too. I like her teaching style. I was happy to see her on my schedule again this year because I ended up doing so well last year."

"That's my favorite class, you know."

"Is it because I'm in it." Beca said batting her eyelashes. Chloe laughed.

"No, dork. I just love science, its my favorite subject. I don't know what it is but I just love everything about it. The different kinds, biology, chemistry, environment science, earth science, which was my favorite science class I ever took."

"I really liked earth science too, that was cool, I liked when we learned about the solar system."

"Me too! Science is awesome."

Beca smiled at how much enthusiasm she spoke about science. "Nerd." Beca added.

She nudged Beca. "Hey, don't be rude. I just love science what can I say and if that makes me a nerd then I'm okay with that." She smiled "Okay enough talking I have to finish this! Just sit and be quiet."

"Yes ma'am." Beca saluted.

It took about an hour or so later to finish the three pages Chloe had to do. They kept getting off track talking and giggling about random stuff, even with the instructions from Chloe for Beca to be quiet. She didn't listen and Chloe was kind of okay with that because she enjoyed Beca's company and was happy to have her here when she wasn't feeling too great. Beca made her feel better by just being there, talking and laughing.

After they finished doing the pages that needed to be done, Beca heated up Chloe's soup and got a movie out. Chloe was happy Beca was here taking care of her when she didn't even ask, Beca wanted too, she enjoyed Chloe's company as much as she did and that made the warm feeling she has towards Beca, grow even more.

Chloe sat up and had her soup. Beca smiled, finding it adorable when some of the broth dripped down from the bowl onto her chin. Beca grabbed a tissue and cleaned it up for her every time it slid down to her neck.

"I'm sorry I'm such a mess, drinking soup." She said a little embarrassed.

"Don't be, it happens to me every time I have soup too. But it doesn't look as cute on me as it does on you." Beca smiled.

A blush creped on Chloe's face. "You think I'm cute?" Chloe challenged.

"The cutest." Beca responded slyly.

Chloe smiled. "You're pretty cute yourself Mitchell."

"I am not cute. I'm too badass for that word."

"A cute badass."

Beca rolled her eyes. "Lets watch this movie, weirdo." They both laid back against the headboard of the bed. Blankets over them, pillows behind them. They were watching a movie Jesse suggested. Taken. As much action as there was Chloe started to get sleepy she turned her head to look at Beca, who was looking back at her smiling. They both stared at ach other for a while getting lost in one another's eyes. After a while of staring Beca spoke up.

"You're very beautiful." Chloe smiled.

"So are you."

Beca cupped her cheek and rubbed her thumb soothingly across.

"I really like you, you know."

"Well, you're in luck cause, I like you too."

Chloe started to get sleepier by the minute. Maybe it was Beca's dark stormy eyes gazing into hers or maybe it was the way she gently rubbed her cheeks or maybe it was the warmth of how close their bodies were. After a while Chloe fell into a peaceful sleep leaning into Beca's arms. She wrapped them around the redhead pulling her closer. "Goodnight, Beautiful. Sleep well." Beca whispered into her hair and eventually, fell asleep with her.
