"Since you've been gone!" Jesse ends his audition strong. And everyone in the auditorium applauds.

"Damn Bree, didn't know your boy can sing." Chloe smirks, whispering to Aubrey.

"I didn't either. His voice was amazing." Aubrey states smiling at Jesse.

"Uh oh."

"What?" Aubrey turns to Chloe.

"What are you gonna do about the Treble rule." Chloe asks.

"Even though Jesse, will probably be a Treble, he doesn't count. I started dating him, before he even came to this school." Aubrey shrugs.

"And if any Bella has a one night stand with any douche bag called a Treble, then they will be kicked out." Aubrey adds, causing Chloe to chuckle.

Chloe sighs, "What's wrong?" Aubrey asks.

"Beca didn't show."

Chloe looks down at her lap.

"Okay, that is..it. Not really that impressed this year guy-"

Chloe looks up and sees Beca in the side wing.

"Oh, wait! There's one more."

Everyone looks at Beca, eye-wide, jaws dropped, and in shock.

"Hi. I uhh, didn't know we had to prepare that song."

"That's okay, sing whatever you want." Chloe smiles.

Beca gets on her knees, exposing her cleavage to the co-leaders. Chloe couldn't get her eyes off it, until Aubrey kicked her leg under the desk.

"Stop staring." Aubrey whispers, causing Chloe to blush.

Beca soon plays a rhythm with the plastic cup.

I got my ticket for the long way run

Two bottle of whiskey for the way

And I sure would like some sweet company

And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do ya say?

When I'm gone, When I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me by my hair

You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Beca ended the song with hitting the cup on the floor, giving the two a half smile.

Chloe smiles brightly, while Aubrey has an intimidating glare on her face.

Beca stands up, and everyone applauds as she leaves, asking for autographs and pictures. Beca runs to her dorm before anyone can catch her.

Suddenly Beca's phone rings, "Hey man, where'd you run off to?" She hears Jesse on the other line.

"Tell Chlo and Aubrey I said sorry. People started to crowd. That's another reason I try to stay in my dorm sometimes." Beca sighs.

"It's cool, bro. Wait, hold on." Beca puts her phone on speaker, and sets it on her desk as she changes into a loose t-shirt, and sweats.

"Hey Becs!" Chloe says on the other line.

"Hey Red. I'm sorry, I would've stayed longer, but they-"

"It's fine." Chloe cuts Beca off.

"Do you have any classes today?" Chloe asks.

"No, why?" Beca replies.

"Oh its, nothing."

Beca knew Chloe was hiding something, but she let it slide.

"Again, Chlo. I'm really sorry, for being late, running out, and being unprepared. Just that message is for you and Aubrey."

"Becs, I already told you, it's not a big deal. You were fantastic. And I don't care if you were late or anything, I'm glad you showed up." Chloe said sincerely.

"Well I gotta go. I'll see you later." Chloe says.

"Alright, bye Red."

"Bye."

8:00 that night:

Beca's sitting in her swivel chair working on a mix, when a bag slips over her head. She grabs the two arms that were around her and they fall on the ground, leaving Beca on top of the kidnapper. Just as Beca was about to punch the person's face, "Becs! It's me!" Chloe yells, pulling the cloth off of the brunette's head.

"Chloe? What the fuck!"

The two stared at each other and instantly started laughing.

"I didn't know such a small person had that much strength." Chloe smiles.

"Never know when to be prepared, you know. And explain why you were doing this before I file a restraining order." Beca says.

"It's part of the initiation. Every new Bella we kidnap, and you were the last Bella. The girls usually don't fight back, considering their lack of strength." Chloe says making Beca laugh.

Beca soon realizes their position and gets off of Chloe helping her up.

"As long as you weren't going to rape me, then kidnapping me with no explanation is totally fine by me." Beca states sarcastically.

Chloe rolls her eyes, "Get dressed," Chloe says, handing her clothes.

"Ohh! This is so cute, wear it." Chloe says handing her the jacket and shirt with her combat boots.

Beca stands there awkwardly waiting for Chloe to leave.

"Beca, I've seen you butt naked before, you should be used to this by now." Chloe states making Beca roll her eyes.

x-x-x

On the walk to the practice room, Chloe started to shiver.

Beca didn't let that go unnoticed.

"Here," Beca says taking her jacket off, putting it on Chloe.

"Becs, it's fi-"

"No, it's not. I don't need you to get a cold. If anything, I'd rather get sick, than letting you have a chance of a cold without doing anything to prevent it." Beca says as they walk.

Unexpectedly, Chloe intertwines their fingers. Beca's tense at first, but relaxes after several seconds.

This doesn't mean anything. She doesn't know the meaning of personal boundaries. I mean, she barged into your shower for Christ's sake. Holding hands is just another perk of being friends with Chloe Beale. Beca thought.

"You're gonna have a fun time, tonight Becs. I promise."

"Becaw! Becaw! Do my eyes deceive me or are you a Barden Bella?"

"Yeah, uh huh. You're pretty drunk right now, dude. Do you want me to call blondzilla over?"

"Very funny." Jesse says downing his cup.

"So you're a treble, huh?"

"And you're an aca-nerd. If I don't recall, you said acapella was lame."

"I only audition, cause I had to."

"More like Chloe wanted you to."

"What are you talking about?"

"You like Chloe. Don't try and deny it, dude. If I barged into your naked, you'd probably stop talking to me all together. Chloe has become your first priority. You always put her first before anything now."

"That's not true." Beca defends.

"Dude, Bree told me how Chloe said she was a little cold, and you gave her your jacket cause you kept telling her you'd rather get sick then letting her."

"I was being a friend."

"Who likes Chloe." Jesse smirks.

"Whatever."

"You need to loosen up. I'm gonna get you a drink."

"I already have one."

"How many have you had?"

"This is the first."

"Then you need a second." Jesse says.

He leaves the sober Bella as he notices Chloe coming over to Beca.

"Hey Becs!" Chloe says.

Beca sets her drink down on the seat, to put her hands in her pockets. But before she can, Chloe grabs both her hands, pulling her closer than ever. Their lips are less than an inch away from each other, and Beca can't help the situation as her cheeks become flushed.

"Why are you so nice to me Becs?" Chloe asks.

"Is that a bad thing?" Beca smirks.

"No, silly." Chloe sighs before continuing, "Who would've thought I'd be friends with THE Beca Mitchell."

"Who would've thought I'd be friends with the adorable, funny, beautiful Chloe Beale?"

Chloe blushes at the compliment.

"Who would've thought the 'badass' DJ B-47 isn't so badass after all?" Chloe smirks.

"Hey! I am to badass!" Beca defends.

"Okay, sure." Chloe rolls her eyes.

"I'm gonna go get another drink." Chloe says, walking away.

"This ginger needs her jiggle juices!" Chloe wiggles her butt right before she bites her lip, and slaps her ass.

Jesse walks up again.

"Dude, I just got a pic of you and Chloe together. And it looks like you two are about to kiss." Jesse says, showing the picture.

"I'm gonna send it to you." Jesse smirks.

x-x-x

"Get off me!" Beca hears, two hour later.

Is that Chloe? Beca thinks as she tries to listen for the voice again.

"You shouldn't even be here!" She hears the same voice.

Beca looks away from the party and sees Chloe trying to push some frat boy off of her.

Beca runs over, pushing Tom down.

"Dude, she said get away."

"Like you're the boss of her." The boy says.

Beca makes a fist, but Chloe stops her.

"Beca, don't." Chloe puts her hand on Beca's.

"Beca? As in Beca Mitchell." He asks.

"Yeah."

"Wow, the rumors are true. Who would've thought a slut like Chloe would be friends with you?" He says.

Beca immediately threw a punch directly to his face. The frat boy instantly fell to the floor, dropping his things. The brunette saw that his name was Tom, because of his ID falling out of his pocket.

"Don't talk to Chloe. Ever again. She's not some doll you get to fuck whenever you want. And if you try to take advantage of her, I'll make you blind." Beca says, pulling Chloe away.

"Can we go?" Chloe asks.

"Sure, if you want to."

Beca noticed it was already past midnight. Chloe wasn't exactly stable anymore. Beca carried her back to their dorm. Chloe fell asleep halfway.

When they got to the dorm, Beca walked over to Chloe's dorm, but Chloe stopped her.

"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Chloe asks.

"It's alright." Beca says, walking to her room.

Beca sets her on the bed, taking her shoes off. Chloe already fell asleep again. Beca unclothed the ginger, and put her in one of her t-shirts and some sweats.

Beca changed and got in bed.

She kept a respectable distance between her and Chloe. But that broke in seconds, when Chloe moved closer, and wrapped her arm around Beca's waist.

She put Beca's arm around her, and snuggled into the crook of the brunette's neck. Beca felt Chloe's hot, steady breath on her, and couldn't help but get goose bumps.

Soon, Beca fell asleep with Chloe.

The next morning, Chloe woke up to a killer headache, an empty bed, different clothes, and a different room.

Fuck. Chloe thought.

But soon felt a sigh of relief when she saw Beca's equipment in the corner desk.

"Morning sunshine." Beca came in, teasing Chloe of her bubbly personality.

"Here, I got you Advil, and orange juice. Also I just finished making pancakes and eggs." Beca says, as Chloe took the pills.

"Wait, Bella's rehearsals!" Chloe panics.

"Relax, that doesn't start for another two hours." Beca states.

After a moment of silence, "Are they chocolate chip pancakes?" Chloe asks.

"Specially made for the one and only Chloe Beale." Beca says.

Chloe smiles, too tired to be her bubbly self.

Beca brings their breakfast into the room, so Chloe doesn't have to stand.

As they're eating, "Woah, Becs. Your hand!"

Chloe stops eating as she takes Beca's bruised, cut hand into hers.

"What happened?" Chloe asks.

"I defended you." Beca quietly says.

"Can I get a recap?" Chloe says running a hand through her hair.

"It was nothing really. Some frat dude kept trying to take advantage of you. And you were really drunk. You kept telling him to back off. And so I told him again, to leave you alone. And he said some things, I said some things. He pushed me over the edge. And I punched him. After, I carried you back here and you asked if you could sleep with me tonight, it wasn't a big deal. I dressed you in some of my pajamas, and well now we're here. Nothing too bad." Beca says.

Chloe sighs, "You didn't have to do that."

"I didn't want him hurting you."

"He won't. But I don't want you getting hurt, because of me."

"I'll take the consequences."

Beca smiled lightly and they continued on with their breakfast, before getting ready for rehearsals. The relationship-like conversation didn't go unnoticed by Beca, nor Chloe. But both girls decided to beat around actually confronting boundaries, letting their new feelings continue to build up.
