Beca couldn't run from this? Pregnant?! Seriously? Beca was the least maternal person in the world. She couldn't tell Jesse, he'd be supportive of course, it was Jesse. But his career had taken a huge step, and Beca didn't know if she wanted kids, like ever. Jesse and her had briefly discussed marriage but never kids, Jesse knew Beca didn't even like kids. In normal circumstances, she would call Chloe and she would ask for her thoughts, but they weren't speaking, and Beca didn't even deserve to be in Chloe's life. She ruined everything, why would Chloe want to speak to her anymore? If the roles were the other way round, Beca would never speak to Chloe. But she had to take the chance, she needed to go back home, she needed to attempt to fix things. She quickly threw the pregnancy test in the bin, went back to her laptop and book a flight back home. Jesse came through the door carrying the takeaway, and saw his girlfriend pack.
"Where's the fire?!" he said
"I need to go home, I need to fix things with Chloe, plus I need to pay rent," Beca said
"At least, eat, first," Jesse said, he was quite happy that Beca wanted to fix things with Chloe. He was good friends with Chloe.
"I will, my flight isn't til tomorrow," Beca said, scoffing down noodles. She wanted to tell Jesse, but she knew that if she told Jesse, he would want her to stay, and she couldn't stay. Selfish, she knew, but Jesse was due to come back soon, she would tell him then. They could think about what to do next.
Chloe came back from her work, she did a few shifts at a club with kids, teaching them to sing. Something she wanted to do, and it defitnely took her mind off Beca. She wished she was a child again, no feelings, and the only biggest worry was not getting cooties from the boys and girls in the playground. She unlocked the door, and was met by someone very familiar.
"Beca?" she said quietly, Beca sat in silence, worry all over her face. With that, there was a moment of silence, before Chloe raised her hand ready to slap Beca across the face
"I'm pregnant," Beca said, with her eyes half closed. Chloe standing there in shock
"Fuck," Chloe said,
"Yeah," Beca said. Chloe sat across the way from Beca, she wasn't ready to be best friends again. Not even friends.
"How? I mean, it's only been a week," Chloe said "Also, this discussion does not mean we are friends okay, I just don't want a baby in my apartment yet," pure lies, Chloe loved babies.
"Fine,"
"Fine," Chloe said
"Well, when Jesse and I-you know, in Paris. We didn't really think about protection, it was kind of a rush, I went off the pill as we were long distance, I would have gotten the morning after pill, but, um-, also my period didn't happen" Beca said
"Right," Chloe said "You been to the doctor?"
"Nope, I found out yesterday,"
"And Jesse?" Chloe asked, Beca looked down
"He doesn't know," Beca said quietly. Chloe scoffed
"Unbelievable, he should have been the first one to know. Beca, you are a bitch!" Chloe said, in an angry tearful voice
"You're also a really shit friend, and I deserve much better," Chloe said
"You do," Beca said, "Then why do we keep coming back to each other?" Chloe looked at her, and sighed.
"I don't know," Chloe said, tears falling down. They sat in silence,
"Beca, I think you should take another test, then, you need to call Jesse, and discuss what you need to do," Chloe said "Then, you need to move out, okay, because I can't do this anymore," Beca nodded, and headed out the door to the grocery store.
Chloe stood outside the bathroom, waiting for Beca to come out, she had been in the bathroom for ten minutes. Chloe was nervous, she was going to lose her best friend the minute she walked out the door. The door opened, and Beca came out
"False alarm," Beca said,
"Really?"
"I took two more tests, both negative," Beca said, they both mutually sighed. And without thinking, they gave each other a hug
"That was so scary," Beca said, Chloe rubbing Beca's back before immediately pushing her away.
"You want to slap me now?" Beca said
"No, I think the pregnancy scare was enough," Chloe said, walking away.
"Can we actually talk about this fucking mess?" Beca asked
"Its too late, Beca, I'm done," Chloe said
"Chloe, please," Beca said, Chloe stared at her. Before sitting down, waiting for Beca to explain to her.
"I'm sorry," Beca said
"Seriously? that's all you can say?!" Chloe said
"Chloe-"
"No, you can't just fuck me and then leave, you know how that made me feel, dirty, disgusting, when Jesse came back, I felt like a dirty little secret. You were the one who wanted to have sex with me! All this was your fault!" Chloe shouted
"Do you not realise how hard this was for me? I let you in, Chloe. I don't let anybody in, it took me ages to even consider something with Jesse, how hard it was for me to be apart of The Bellas, how hard it is for me to be around you. I've felt something for you stronger than Jesse, that makes it harder! And no matter how much I want to push you away, You notice that those weeks without Jesse, I was fine, but in that week I was away from you, it was the hardest time of my life, I stayed and slept with Jesse because I wanted my feelings towards you, change onto him, and it didn't work," she sobbed, her voice getting higher
"I'm lost without you," Beca cried, Chloe started to cry.
"And you hating me is completely understandable, just don't hate me forever," there was a silence before Chloe broke it
"I wish I could hate you," Chloe said, the two exchanged a sad smile
"Oh god, I thought you were gonna quote 'Brokeback Mountain,' for a moment," Beca said, wiping her tears, the two chuckling.
"I need to go back to New York," Beca said, "I'm going to tell Jesse the truth,"
"Okay,"
"Are we okay?" Beca asked
"Not really, but we're getting there, okay? I'm still not completely ready, just don't bother moving out, okay?" Chloe said
"I'm just gonna book my flight,"
Okay, it may seemed like Chloe took Beca back too easily, but that's why I put the bit of humour in, it's going to take time between them. Props to whoever guessed it was a false you guys for the love xx
