A/N: I'm not going to lie, this chapter had seen some edits because sometimes the plot just sort of goes its own way and I made some small changes here and there, incorporating some requests too. But yeah, like I said in the earlier chapters, I actually wrote this one ahead of time (starting from Chloe's second POV) and minus some minor changes, it's pretty close to the original that I wanted. Sorry for keeping you guys hanging. More romantic cheesy stuff in the next chapter!
But, for now, here is chapter 27 with last minute pranks, one last interruption, and wedding number 2 (guys, we have one more and like 3 chapters left!? XD) It also features two amazing songs namely 'Need the Sun to Break' and 'Scars' by James Bay and 'Smack/Smash into you' originally by Jon McLaughlin ('Smack into You' was his original version but it got scrapped off his first album) before it became an amazing addition to Becyonce's 'I Am… Sasha Fierce' album becoming 'Smash into You'. Both versions of the song are just amazing, give them a listen to. I promise you won't regret it (actually just listen to the whole Beyonce album - which, I don't think I really need to tell you guys - and give a listen to pretty much Jon McLaughlin's albums because his lyrics are just on point).
Enjoy.
I don't own pitch perfect.
It was a lovely place. Chloe couldn't help but be lost in the beauty of it. Aubrey and Stacie found an old castle turned vacation place to rent – as grand as the Biltmore castle but not that far off – for the wedding. It was like a little treasure of a place not many really knew of, private and secluded.
And in truth magical.
It was the night before the big day. The two families were gathered for the rehearsal dinners, in-laws getting to know each other really. While the party was in full swing, Chloe didn't really feel the need to stay. In truth, most of the Bellas decided to take an early night in.
Well, most.
Lilly, Amy, Jessica, Ashley, and poor Emily who got dragged along, decided to explore the surrounding woods a bit. Amy had claimed that she saw a lake not far from the main grounds and that there was apparently a trail that led there. The invite was also extended to Chloe of course, but in truth, Chloe knew that there were about a hundred and one ways that whole plan could go wrong.
Chloe found herself on some grand balcony just outside the hall, staring into the night. A lovely place with a lovely view. With all the stars in the night to greet her. She was alone, yes, but the faint music from the hall where Beca truly outdid herself – Aubrey wanted good music and as a wedding gift, Beca invited the artists themselves to provide good music for the entire event – and the party went on and on.
I'm halfway gone, sleepless I'm battle-worn
And you're all I want, so bring me the dawn
Chloe sighed. As much as she was alone, she knew she wasn't. So many thoughts were buzzing in her head. The other night, during the bachelorette, it seemed that Beca had been trying to tell her something.
Thinking back, Beca had been trying to tell her something so many times in the past but they kept getting interrupted. Chloe always thought it was something not important, or maybe it was just Beca trying to ask, get clarity on where they stand.
But the other night, she said, Chloe was sure Beca said, that she needed to know something.
I need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart
I'm shaking, oh my luck could change
Been in the dark for weeks and I've realized you're all I need
I hope that I'm not too late, and I hope I'm not too late
But Beca hadn't brought it up during the trip again, so it remained to be seen.
Besides, there was still so much more.
She hated it, seeing Beca with someone else, even when Beca wasn't exactly with someone else. She hated other people trying to charm her, win her, and Chloe almost just lost it with Amber. The woman drove her insane, worse than Kommissar ever did. And while she's gone now, Chloe couldn't help but reflect on what has happened, what she felt. She wanted Beca, she wanted to just give up the space between them and just end it, tell Beca that she can stop now, all was forgiven and they can be what they were again.
But that would be a lie.
Because they have made so much progress from the way they were before.
And while Chloe knew, the things that kept them apart weren't anyone's fault, even when she knew she loved Beca, there was a part of her holding her back.
A part that was still scared of getting hurt.
But she wants to, oh how she wants to. Because she's done waiting for forever.
Back of the room, how come my friends already know you?
Feel like a kid, too shy to speak up so I keep it hid
Oh butterflies, you steal my sleep each night
"Penny for your thoughts?" she heard Beca ask as she leaned on the railings, standing next to Chloe.
Chloe smiled lightly. "Shouldn't you be in there? You were the one who invited famous people for a wedding of people they don't even know."
"That's not entirely true." Beca said as a matter of factly. "Jon has met Stacie and Aubrey and Amy too. Plus he's gotten to know the Bellas during Amy's wedding. As for James, he ran into me and Stacie once in New York at our favorite bar and drank with us a bit. So really, not complete strangers."
Chloe chuckled. "So you're not leaving them to the sharks then?"
Beca shook her head. "No. Besides, they have their people here too."
I need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart
I'm shaking, oh my luck could change
Been in the dark for weeks and I've realized you're all I need
I hope that I'm not too late, and I hope I'm not too late
Chloe nodded, accepting Beca's answer. "So, do you want to get out of here for a while?" she then heard the DJ ask.
"And where on earth will we go?" Chloe asked in return.
Beca smirked. "Well, I for one overheard Luke talking to Benji, Jesse, and Bumper. The boys seem to be planning a prank on Amy and the girls who went to the lake. What say we up the ante and scare the wannabe pranksters instead?"
"That is entirely devious of you." Chloe noted with a chuckle.
"Yeah, but it would be fun." Beca replied, her smirk turning into a grin.
Beca was all but laughing as they ran back to the castle. Luke, Benji, Jesse, poor ol' Bumper who got trampled on by the scared Bellas, Emily, Amy, Jessica and Ashley, were all running after her and Chloe.
Except for Lilly. Somehow Lilly realized they were the true masterminds and switched sides.
Chloe called it her getting even plan for all the times they sneaked up on them and tried eavesdropping on their conversations. Sure, not all the Bellas were there, some were innocent too. But it was fun.
Amy and the girls were all happily hanging out by the lake, telling scary stories with each other when Luke and the boys were plotting to scare them. Apparently it was Bumper and Amy's secret plan, something Bumper had told the two other former Trebles and Luke. Beca and Chloe had overheard them talking while hiding form them behind the thicket of trees that surrounded the lake.
In retrospect, the whole plan was just begging for trouble really.
That's when Beca and Chloe conceived of a plot the scare the guys. Lilly noticed them, snuck away from the group, and helped them out.
A bit of mischief with natural props, a scary Joker laughing app, and pocket laser lights from Lilly, and the boys were running towards the safety of the girls.
And a bit more mischief later and everyone was ready to dive into the lake or run and hide.
Until Beca dropped one of the said props and they got discovered.
Hence the running.
The party was still on its way when Beca grabbed Chloe, open the nearest storage closet near the ballroom/dining hall, and shoved both of them inside. They could hear faint chatter of guests passing by and the music from inside.
Beca placed a finger on her lips, asking Chloe to try and contain the giggles, but Chloe didn't seem to need it.
The cramped up space pressing their bodies close together was enough.
We grow apart
I watch you on the red horizon
Your lion's heart
Will protect you under stormy skies
And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears
It was a bit awkward, if Beca was honest. For a minute or two they were just staring into each other's eyes and Beca had to fight the urge to just go ahead and kiss Chloe, her eyes flickering between Chloe's and the redhead's lips.
But she did.
Because all the words that still needed to be said hang in the air and Beca didn't want to cross a line Chloe wasn't ready to cross just yet.
And as soon as I can hold you once again
I won't let go of you, I swear
"Chloe…" Beca started to say in a hushed tone. She figured that this might actually be the moment she needed, hiding away from the Bellas and all. It might not be ideal, but one must make the best out of a given circumstance.
"What is it?" Chloe asked in an equally low tone.
"Chlo, I... I know this isn't the most ideal place to have a talk, but I really need to tell you, you really need to know…" but Beca couldn't even finish her statement.
Because it looked like Chloe was about to lean in, and it could totally just be the redhead trying to adjust with her position to be more comfortable.
Not like Beca ever did find out.
We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
We can't leave us behind anymore
It was as if if Fate had been testing them, really because as soon Beca decided she would power through and she ready to say the words, Amy yanked the door of the storage closet open. "Aha!" she exclaimed.
"Oh for the love of God!" Beca then cried out as she and Chloe slowly – begrudgingly for her – out of the closet.
But before anyone else could say anything about the prank, Aubrey and Stacie stepped out of the hall and stumbled upon them. A group of former Trebles, and Bellas, and Luke completely out of breath. Beca annoyed about something, and Chloe just being a bit lost on what Beca was trying to say.
"What on earth are you all up to?" Aubrey asked. "Should I ask or will you act your age, considering we're not in college anymore?"
"The latter, definitely the latter." Amy mumbled and that was that.
Beca sighed. Another moment gone.
"Chloe." Beca called out after the redhead.
But she was gone.
Chloe smiled at Aubrey, who was beaming shyly at her. Jessica and Ashley had just left the room, with a squealing Emily close behind them. Even with the insanity that was what happened the night before, the Bellas looked like they were always ready to look all glammed up for the wedding. But Aubrey, she looked like she's been born to where the rather gorgeous wedding dress she had on right now. "You look immaculate Bree." she said, happy for her friend.
"I always thought white was my color." Aubrey replied with a shaky breath as she turned to check her reflection in the mirror for the umpteenth time. She was visibly nervous, but in a good kind, and for once since all that had come to turn her life inside out had passed, Chloe thought that she'd get to go to a wedding where there were no last minute back outs, cancellations, or out of nowhere proposals that didn't end so well in the end.
Today she was going to see her best friend marry one of her best friends and the love of her life.
Actually, she gets to see two of her best friends do exactly that.
Chloe smiled sadly at the memory of a wedding that never happened, one between two best friends too. Love can be a funny thing, and sometimes, it can be quite painful too. The bittersweet memories lingered in her thoughts over and over during the past months, years really, it was like something she just couldn't escape.
Especially when the possibility of a future from that broken past still hung in the air. When a broken vow had a chance to be made true.
"What is it Chlo?" Aubrey asked cautiously, part of her knowing what had caused the sudden silence between them.
"Just thinking." Chloe replied looking a little pensive. She recovered in time of Aubrey taking a step closer to her. "You know, counting my debts and all. I mean, if you ever change your mind, I owe you like, what? One wedding? I mean I said no to my other psycho ex although if you want to count that revenge plan we both pretend you didn't enact, we can make that two." she then said, trying to adopt a nonchalant tone...
...which was epically failing her…
Aubrey shook her head with a chortled laugh. "Not funny." she muttered with a slap on Chloe's arms before adopting a more serious tone. "Chlo, I didn't say anything, you know that. I didn't say much when, well, when you'd fall in and out of the steady rhythm of your life that was Beca, when you decided to move on from the inescapable, when you thankfully realized you were making a mistake with Eli, all that. I let you figure things out because you needed to and because I knew you needed space and you'd eventually speak up if you needed to. Also, partly because no one seems to know how to figure out love, Stace and I navigating through our own relationship blindly for the most part of the last few years too. But today I'm saying something, it's my wedding and you can't say no."
Chloe rolled her eyes dramatically, "We both know that even when you didn't say anything you were silently giving me a lecture all the time in that head of yours. Besides, you've been quite outspoken lately."
"Are you going to listen or not?" Aubrey replied, quirking her an eyebrow.
"You made it clear I didn't have a choice Bree." Chloe replied with a defeated smile.
"Damn right you don't. I'll make Lilly my Maid of Honor if you do." Aubrey then said, prompting a 'Hey' form Chloe before shaking her head yet again. "But in all seriousness. Chlo, you're in love with Beca Mitchell. You always have been, you never, not for even one second, did dare stop. You stopped fighting to be with her, yes, and maybe you needed time to heal, a space to grow or something, but don't fool yourself into thinking that you were actually able to move on from her. And you never will. So, please Chloe, I'm begging you, I don't care how things are now, or whatever fear or insecurities taken a hold of you. Get your damn head out of your ass, it's not a hat, and go get your girl."
"But Bree…" Chloe tried to argue, how could she? Maybe what Aubrey said was true, a part of Chloe always knew it was, but she keeps having her reservations. Not that Beca hasn't been perfectly clear with her intentions. It's just that she got burned, badly the last time. And the hurt? The pain? They were ll too much. She wasn't lying when she told Beca that she wouldn't be able to handle it if she breaks her heart again. No, she won't definitely make it this time.
And that was holding her back. All the possibilities, all the new ways this can go down wrong for them.
Beca was living a life far different from her now, her simple dreams had come true. Could there really possibly still be room for her life for Chloe?
Chloe knows Beca was doing everything to show her, prove to her that there was.
But…
"No buts." Aubrey replied adamantly, as if she was reading her very thoughts. "I don't have all the answers Chloe, I don't know why love is messy, or why it makes me question everything I've ever known sometimes. I just know that if it's real, if it's that one true love people keep looking for, it will last forever. No matter how long it lasts. Look, Chlo, I just know that love is love. You love her, and whether or not the munchkin is aware of it – funny how that's become the age ol' question between us Bellas now – she loves you, she loves you like you're her whole world, like nothing else matters but you. She's not just in love with you, you are the very meaning of love for her. All I know is nothing in this world is more unnatural that taking two people who are supposed to be together and pulling them apart, you know? Not being with the person you love, I think that's the worst crime ever. All I'm saying is fight for her. Please fight for her and for your happiness. Just like she's clearly fighting for you now. Don't let your fears weigh you down. Trust a little again, be the old Chloe who wouldn't dare give up on Beca when I was wrongfully making assumptions of her. Let that be your wedding gift to me and Stacie."
Chloe was left speechless by what Aubrey had just said.
What else was left to be said?
Aubrey summed things up pretty well.
Chloe wasted no time and pulling her best friend for a quick hug.
She had been a tiny bit foolish, waiting for something, like some clear sign from the heavens to wake her up and make her jump into the uncertain depths with Beca again.
She didn't realize that all the signs she were asking for were already there.
She just needed to wake up and see it.
Beca chuckled. Something that neither Amy nor Stacie missed.
"What is it Shawshank?" Amy asked curiously. "Is there something wrong with Stacie's dress? Make-up? More importantly, is there something wrong with my dress!?"
Beca shook her head as she watched Amy turn her attention to adjusting minor details in Stacie's dress to check her own reflection in the mirror. Stacie stared at her curiously, trying get a read on her.
Stacie looked beautiful in her dress, and undoubtedly Aubrey too, and it's only just begun hitting Beca that this was actually happening. That Stacie and Aubrey were actually getting married.
"Amy relax. It's just, I never thought I'd see the day Posen will get married. For that matter, never really thought I'd see Stacie in a wedding gown and all and get married to Aubrey." Beca finally said. "And you look so relaxed too, Stace, like marrying Aubrey is the easiest thing in the world to do."
"It kind of is really." Stacie replied. "It's like why haven't we done this sooner? You know?"
"Ah, isn't it wonderful? Love is in the air, Beca's been calling Aubrey by her last name again, the Bellas are all slowly getting hitched and soon we'll all have little Bellas-to-be. Hopefully Beca can get Chloe alone soon too, and fix whatever needs to be fixed, get the wedding we've always wanted, and not get any more accidents. Like seriously, if you lose your memories again, Shawshank, I'm really hitting you in the head with a frying pan. "
Both Beca and Stacie couldn't help but laugh at Amy's comment. It's true, they've grown up so much that it's hard to imagine they used to just hang out in a dorm room and share dinner every Thursday night, or slave away through rehearsals for the ICCA. And everything seemed to have slowly been falling into place again. Beca smiled lightly to herself before looking up at Amy who was already married to Bumper, the days of her sneaking off to meet one of her men already gone, and then to Stacie whose smile had dropped when she saw Emily all wide eyed and staring at Beca as if she had just realized something big.
Beca turned and looked at her slightly alarmed, afraid that something was wrong or that Stacie had forgotten something important. As soon as Amy had dragged Emily inside though and shut the door behind her, she realized why.
Not again, not another one.
She was supposed to tell Chloe first!
And as much as she loved Emily, the youngest Bella of the group could never contain her excitement of something as big as Beca's current secret.
"No." Emily said in a whisper, a result of the shock, before turning to Amy, Stacie, and back to Beca, her eyes conveying so many emotions at once. "You… you're calling Bree by her last name again. After the accident, you never… and Amy said… Oh my God, Beca… oh my God, Amy said lose your memory again…"
"Ah. Yeah." Beca replied, not really knowing what to say, things just kept unravelling.
"Beca… ho-" Emily continued to say to say but she couldn't finish, the realization leaving her speechless. But from the way her body was shaking, Beca was sure she was going to pop out the room screaming her happiness about Beca's memories being back.
"Yeah." Beca then said with a sigh. "It's still a bit splotchy and spotted really. I'm more of a fill-in-the blanks kind of girl for a few things right now. Still a few gaps. But yeah."
"When?" Emily asked still dumbfounded.
"When I thought I lost her for good." Beca replied in a murmur. "It came slowly, like when it's about to rain. It starts with a few drops from the sky, and then it's torrential downpour."
"Why haven't you said a thing to us?" Emily asked before realizing that Stacie and Amy knew. "I mean, clearly…" she then said, pointing to the two. "Luke knows too, doesn't he?"
"He was kind of there when it all came back." Beca replied.
"The river incident…" Emily then said, realization dawning on her as she connected the dots. "But why haven't you told Chloe?"
"Gee, I don't know Ems, why do you think? I mean it's not like you guys kept popping up with that uncanny ability you all have of dropping in on key moments." Beca deadpanned.
"Oh." Emily replied. "Oh, gosh! Beca, I'm sorry!" she added. "That's what you kept trying on saying!"
"Yeah, in that regard, I that was mostly my fault Shawshank. I wanted to get a firsthand experience of seeing Chloe's face light up when you tell her. At least during the bachelorette and you were all alone. All other times, they were accidents, I swear!"
"Will you tell her now though?" Emily asked.
"I don't know Ems. Things are a little crazy, besides, it's Aubrey and Stacie's wedding."
"Oh, by all means Beca, go tell her now. I'm pretty sure Aubrey would agree with me that it would be a great wedding gift for the two of you to just get back together already." Stacie then replied. "Besides, I don't want her to be talking about the two of you and how to get you two back together during our honeymoon."
"Yeah, but…" Beca started to say.
"But what?" Stacie asked, cutting her short. "What if Chloe realizes that she doesn't want to be with you anymore, what if that's why she hasn't even agreed about going out on a date with you? Why you feel like you're hitting a wall? What if you already lost and all of this is just you trying to cling onto something? To be honest Beca, I think it didn't really matter if you already lost or not. Somethings are inevitable." Stacie replied with all of her wisdom. "Look, Chloe's allowed to have her doubts and fears, just like you do. But that doesn't mean she doesn't love you anymore, and you know that. So why don't you just put all your cards on the table, tell her the truth, tell her everything, peel of the band aid and see where things go? I mean, you are sure you still love her, right?"
"I love her Stacie." Beca replied before Stacie could even finish the question. "Loving her was the easiest thing I've ever done. Letting her go the hardest. But I know the greatest struggle is in winning her back, I've hurt her too much. And I'm trying, I'm just, I don't know how. Somedays I'm not sure if it's enough. She deserves the world Stacie, I don't think I can give her that. I don't even know what words to say, or what to do. It's always been easier when she would just read me like an open book, but so much has changed that I think, I think that if I used to be terrified of what she made me feel, then she's more scared than I am now."
"Yeah, but you would've hurt her then too if you stayed. You said it yourself before Beca. You weren't you, and you needed to figure out who you were on your own. Chloe needed the room to breathe too." Amy then said. "Everything that's lost is found, anything that leaves also returns. And I think Red's never stopped loving you Shawshank. That much is true and as clear as the sky is blue. Besides Beca, no one ever knows what they're doing either, at least when it comes to love. You should know that by now. Don't let your fears fool you, trick you into giving up. When the two of you look at each other, it's like the whole world lights up. That's love. And you never have to stop fighting. You have to hold onto that."
"Yeah, and weren't you the one who said you're going to woo her socks off?" Stacie asked with a chuckle.
Beca laughed. "I'm never going to escape that now, am I?"
"Nope." Stacie replied.
"We won't let you."
"If anything, we're always going to be here to support you. Although I'm still upset I wasn't brought into this." Emily said.
Beca smiled, exchanging looks with both Amy and Stacie. "They weren't supposed to know either Ems."
"Somethings never change Beca." Stacie then said. "We'll always be here to help you woo Chloe everyday of your life though, so don't ever feel weak. We'll help you with the fight."
Beca chuckled once again. "So we're back to calling it 'wooing Chloe', huh?"
"You started it, Mitchell." Stacie then said. "Now come on, and quit making me emotional and sentimental. I need to meet my bride at the aisle."
Amy then whistled. "Then we better hustle or we'll be late."
"Right, something really never changes then." Beca commented and Amy and Stacie turned to her with a questioning glance. "What? I'm always late. Late at rehearsals. Late at Amy's wedding. Late at realizing my feelings. Always."
"Not a funny joke Mitchell, but they do say better late than never." Stacie then commented.
"Yes, but that rule doesn't apply to Aubrey so get your cute butts out of the door. We don't want to upset the Aca-Nazi on her biggest day." Amy then said as she started to usher them out of the room.
Head down, as I watch my feet take turns hitting the ground
Eyes shut, I find myself in love racing the earth
The day had been perfect. The sun shining bright on them in the garden of the castle where they were having the wedding. Stacie had gone first, walking with her dad. With her, Aubrey took a deep breath, her dad by her side.
The walk down the aisle felt like it lasted forever. She knew, it wasn't her wedding day, it was Aubrey's. But it still gave her goosebumps that she couldn't imagine.
And I'm soaked in your love
And love was right in my path, in my grasp
And me and you belong
It was picture perfect. The look on Stacie's face undoubtedly as she saw Aubrey walking in behind her was priceless. If there's anything Chloe could say about it, it was love.
Written all over their faces.
Upon reaching her spot, she took a deep breath and looked up to where Beca was standing, right across where she stood.
I wanna run (run)
Smash into you
I wanna run (run)
And smash into you
And Chloe found herself smiling back.
Ears closed, what I hear no one else has to know
'Cause I know that what we have is worth first place in gold
Beca knew. It was Aubrey and Stacie's day. But just as Stacie's jaws nearly dropped upon seeing her blushing bride, Beca couldn't help but imitate the look on her best friend's face upon seeing Chloe. The lilac gown was just perfect, making her blue eyes pop.
It was enough to take her breath away, really, that Beca had to remind herself to breathe.
And I'm soaked in your love
And love is right in my path, in my grasp
And me and you belong, oh
Chloe stopped, standing right across where Beca was. Beca gave her a smile and she smiled back. If she didn't know any better, she would think that Stacie and Aubrey did this on purpose just to see how she the two of them would handle it.
Well, for sure Beca was already losing the fight. When it comes to Chloe, Chloe would always win. Proof? It didn't matter how long they've known each other, how long she's been in love with Chloe, and what happened in between. One look from the redhead and Beca could feel the full force of the butterflies from her gut, taking her over and knocking the wind right out of her lungs. She turned to steal a look at Chloe once more, Beca finding Chloe sneaking a glance at her too.
I wanna run (run)
Smash into you
I wanna run (run)
Smash into you
Smash into you
Oh
And Beca found herself smiling nervously throughout the whole thing.
Head down, as I watch my feet take turns hitting the ground
Eyes shut, I'm in love and I'm racing the earth
And I'm soaked in your love
And love is right in my path, in my grasp
And me and you belong
It never ends really.
The way Chloe makes her feel.
And that's when Beca realized, she doesn't need to find the perfect time. Sure, she and Chloe need to talk about it, but she really just needs to tell her.
Because Stacie was right. Amy was right. Luke and Emily too.
Sure, it felt like no matter what she did, Chloe might never give her the chance, but if she ever dared give up, she'll never see the day when Chloe finally gives her that second chance. And Beca knew, she only had to fight even more.
Fight even when she has her back.
Never stop, not one single day.
It doesn't matter anymore. All the fears were real. But none of them can ever compare to a life with Chloe.
Oh, I wanna run
Smash into you
I'm willing to run (run)
Smash into you
Beca stole Chloe one last look and she knew, she'll be damned if she lived another day without her.
Chloe felt Beca's eyes on her, making her blush and smile uncontrollably. She dared look back and saw the DJ smiling once more, before dropping her eyes low and tuning into Stacie and Aubrey exchanging vows.
And Chloe knew she should probably do the same, but she couldn't take her eyes off Beca.
She just couldn't.
Because she felt light, she felt easy.
Like all the things trying to hold her back had disappeared. The fears were there, true, along with the uncertainties.
But she knew for sure that never knowing what the answer was because she let all the fears and uncertainties get in the way was not living.
Especially when she knew for a fact that for her whole life she will never stop loving Beca.
I'm ready to run, run, run, run
I'm ready to run, run, run, run
Chloe finally managed to take her eyes off of Beca, and focus on her best friends. With one last a deep sigh, all of it, the nerves, the fears, the uncertainties, the pain of the past that she kept holding onto, they were gone.
Released in that one breath.
I wanna run, run
And smash into you
I'm willing to run, run
And smash into you
Chloe stole one last look at Beca, and she knew. She was ready.
