Beca woke up to a blinding light in her eyes. The curtains on the window were open, the brunette groaned. She was about to stand when she realized a certain redhead was clutching onto her body. Chloe's arms were wrapped around the girls waist, Beca's chest being her pillow. Their legs were fit together like a matching puzzle piece. The brunette chuckled lightly. She made her way to get up, slowly detaching Chloe from herself, only getting a groaning redhead along with a tighter grip.
"Chlo, I need to pee." Beca whispers, kissing Chloe's forehead - still trying to get out of the ginger's grip.
"Then...go pee." Chloe says.
"I can't." Beca chuckles.
"And why is that?" Chloe says letting go of Beca, propping herself up on one elbow. The brunette rolls her eyes, moving for the bathroom until Chloe stops her actions. Beca looks back at Chloe, who's hand was wrapped around Beca's forearm. Suddenly, Chloe puckers her lips innocently. Beca couldn't resist, giving Chloe a small peck. Chloe let go of Beca. As Chloe saw Beca heading for the door, she stood walking to Beca's desk, until out of know where she was picked up and tackled to the bed. Beca peppered kisses all over Chloe's neck, shoulders, collarbone, and face - avoiding Chloe's lips.
Beca looks into Chloe's eyes with pure love (not that she'll admit it yet) and adoration. "Good morning, beautiful." Beca finally presses her lips to Chloe's, pulling the girl into a soothing kiss. Chloe's legs wrapped around Beca's waist, her hands cupped Beca's face.
"Beca Mitchell, I swear. You're going to be the death of me." Chloe giggled.
"And you mine. I wouldn't mind it, though." Beca says.
"Why?" Chloe asks confused a little.
"Because," Beca kisses her lips one more time. "At least I'll die happy."
*SNAP* Chloe and Beca hear a camera phone go off, both girls looking toward the door. A sleepy Jesse leaning against the doorframe - phone in one hand, his other arm wrapped around Aubrey - smirking.
"So...I'm guessing that date last night went well." Jesse breaks the silence.
"No, Jess. It was awful. I'm giving red one last kiss before I kick her out of my room." Beca teases, "Ow!" She adds after several seconds when Chloe hit her heal of her foot against the back of Beca's thighs.
"Now, I hope this means you two are in a relationship. I don't think of friends when I see this pic of you two." Aubrey says, looking at the picture Jesse just took.
"My intentions were to go to the bathroom! I really need to pee!" Beca says as she looks at her and Chloe's position, trying to save herself from the situation.
"That explains why you're on top of her." Jesse smirks.
Beca untangles herself from Chloe, punching Jesse on her way to the bathroom. The three laugh lightly as they here Beca mutter, "Finally" before closing the bathroom door.
"Anyway, we were wondering if you two wanted to hang out with us today. Probably go to the mall? I can get more details about what happened last night." Aubrey says.
"Yeah, totes. I'm up for it. I'll go shower now, tell Becs to get ready, and we can head to the diner to get something to eat and head out for the mall after?" Chloe says.
"Aca-awesome. Okay, I took my shower last night, I'm gonna get dressed." Aubrey says.
"Yeah, I'm gonna head back to my dorm, get ready. I'll be back in like twenty minutes." Jesse says.
Chloe leaves for her bathroom, and Jesse heads to his dorm. Beca comes out of the bathroom, "Hey, where'd everyone go?" Beca asks Aubrey.
"We're all gonna head out to the diner, then the mall. Chloe told me to tell you to get ready." Aubrey says.
"Alright."
"How'd the date go last night?"
"Better than perfect." Beca says, smiling to herself. Aubrey was happy for the two, she wanted both girls to be happy. Her friendship with Beca wasn't the best, but they were working on making it less uncomfortable. Aubrey leaves to get changed, and Beca heads for her shower.
Half an hour later, Beca and Chloe come out to their living room to Jesse and Aubrey on the couch, watching tv. Jesse's wearing a loose button down shirt with some khakis and his sunglasses resting on his head. Aubrey is wearing a white loose shirt with relaxed shorts and ballet flats. Chloe wears distressed shorts, a grey shirt - lightly revealing her light blue green strapless bra, matching her sandals. Her shades resting on her head. Beca is wearing (surprisingly not her signature plaid shirt like everyone expected) a black somewhat oversized tshirt, with a black loose blazer over and ripped jeans. Chloe had always loved Beca's fashion as seen in magazines and social media sites. It was so professional, yet casual and trendy.
"We'll take my car. You guys ready?" Beca says.
Everyone nodded in agreement. All heading out of the apartment, Beca laced her fingers with Chloe's, smiling when Chloe gave her a kiss on her cheek. They walked to Beca's car. Beca and Chloe sat in the front, while Aubrey and Jesse sat comfortably together in the back. "Everyone ready?" Beca says, starting the car. She turns the radio on and it happens to be one of her songs playing. She groans, changing the station.
"You act like you hate your own music." Chloe states, looking at Beca.
"I don't hate it. I just- It feels weird to hear your own music play everywhere you go. I'm proud to know that people like my music, but it's not something I would listen to. At least not the songs I make. I just feel so awkward." Beca chuckles.
As they reach a stop light, there is a homeless man holding up a sign: Need money for food. Please. Any change. The sign said, written on a cardboard box. He looked like he'd been crying, so many cars would pass him, and people on the streets would laugh at rolled her window down. "Sir!" She called out.
"Beca, what are you doi-" Chloe stopped mid sentence when Jesse touched her arm and gave her that look to not say anything. Beca takes out her wallet as the man approaches.
"Good afternoon, Miss. I'm sorry to bother you." The man says, his words slowly drifting off. "Listen, you may not be in the best state right now, but promise me you won't give up on your life. Don't settle for this. Find a job. It hurts me to see you in such a horrible lifestyle. Here," Beca hands the man $40. His expression is eye wide.
"I can't take this. It- it's too much-" "I want you to have it. But please, don't give up." She smiles sadly. The man has a tear run down his face. "Thank you. Thank you so much. God bless." "You too." He walks away as the light goes green. Beca rolls her window back up, feeling proud of herself. When Beca wasn't looking, Chloe took a picture of Beca talking to the homeless man, posting it on Instagram. My day has been officially made with seeing such a bright smile on this homeless man's face when becamitchell was generous enough to give the man some money and words of wisdom while so many people laughed at him and gave him dirty looks. Truly amazing and beautiful, she is. Chloe posted the picture and within seconds, her Instagram was getting spammed with likes, follows and comments ("are you two dating?!" "the feels" "dead" "BECHLOE"). Beca noticed her phone constantly going off, and saw on her own phone that she was tagged by a certain ginger. She tossed her phone to Chloe, letting it fall in the girl's lap. "Open it for me, red." Chloe rolls her eyes, and reads them what she posted.
"Isn't someone 'insta-famous' now." Jesse jokes.
"You should read these comments. They're hilarious. Bechloe? OMG the feels? What? Feels? What the hell?" Aubrey says, causing everyone to laugh.
"Here, Chlo. If they annoy you, just go to your settings and enable the notifications. That way, you only see what you're notified from people you follow." Beca says. She parks the car outside the diner. Immediately, opening the door for Chloe. Teenage girls see the four and follow them into the diner. All four can hear, "Oh my god. It's Beca Mitchell." "Look it's Chloe!" "Bechloe is true!" "We should ask for an autograph." "Look at the picture Chloe just posted on Instagram." Beca starts to chuckle. Right before they can sit the girls confront them. "H-hi. Can we get a picture with you guys?" One girl speaks up, her voice barely audible. "Sure sweetie." Beca says. Aubrey and Jesse bud out, not wanting to interrupt them. Chloe and Beca have the three girls take individual selfies with them, until all four girls take a group photo. "Thanks!" One girls says as they leave. Beca and Chloe sit down, looking through the menu.
"Sorry about that." Chloe says, giving Aubrey and Jesse an apologetic look, but they didn't mind.
Beca purposely coughs before muttering, "Insta-famous."
"Okay, we have two options." Aubrey says. "We can ALL hang out together, and go to every store we pass." Both, Jesse and Beca groan. "Or... We can split up. I can go with Aubrey, have some girl time. Becs, I feel like you wouldn't be very fond of trying on dresses, so you can go with Jesse if you want. Or we can shop individually. It doesn't matter." Chloe says.
"Well, if you two want your 'best friend' time, you can. I'll have my 'lesbro' time." Beca winked to Jesse. The girls laughed and they split up, Chloe and Aubrey and Chloe immediately going to Forever 21. While Beca and Jesse headed to Hollister.
x-x-x
4 hours later, Aubrey and Chloe approached Beca and Jesse who were sitting at a small table surrounded by bags from Hollister, American Eagle, Urban Outfitters, and Pacsun. Chloe and Aubrey both were drinking caramel frappuccinos from Starbucks while their other hand was occupied with Forever 21, Windsor, Urban Outfitters, and Tilly's bags.
"I see you two are tired." Chloe teases.
"Very." Beca responds, and winks.
"Okay! Time to head home, I wanna show you the clothes I bought." Chloe says, as Beca and Jesse grab their bags to stand. Beca takes the bags from Chloe's hand, before the ginger could even get them back. Beca mutters, "Let me." "You're too sweet." "Never speak of it." Beca whispers, causing Chloe to giggle.
"Can you two please discuss your plans of sex later? I mean, we're in public for Christ's sak-" Aubrey is cut off.
"First of all, we were never talking about sex. What we will be doing later is our business. Most likely, a private fashion show from Red, which probably will lead to sex-" Beca was swatted on her arm. "Ow!" Beca dramatically pouts.
"Awe! Did the baby get hurt? You want me to kiss the boo-boo?" Chloe grins.
"Ha ha." Beca sarcastically says.
"B, you want me to drive? You seemed pretty tired." Jesse says.
"No it's fine, dude."
"Nope, not taking no for an answer." Jesse and Beca argued until they got to the car, as Beca was putting the stuff in the trunk, Jesse took the keys. He held them up as high as he can, Beca being too short to even reach it, sighed in defeat, before muttering a "thank you". The drive was silent, but a comfortable silence was filling the area. Aubrey and Jesse were holding hands as he drove. Chloe resting her head on Beca's shoulder as Beca looked out the window, thinking. Chloe looks up and notices Beca's sad expression. She taps the girl's hand lightly, causing Beca to look down at her. "You alright?" Chloe whispers. Beca nods, followed with a sigh. When they got back to Barden, Chloe and Beca took Aubrey's bags with them while the girl walked with Jesse to his dorm. Beca and Chloe put their stuff down, and Beca sat in the living room, watching Chloe bring out her bags.
"What are you doing?" Beca asked.
"Giving you that fashion show you wanted." Chloe says stripping off her clothes. Beca chuckled, her full undivided attention on Chloe. The brunette put on some runway music, and Chloe giggled. The girl showed Beca around 5 or 6 different outfits. Finally over with, Beca pulled Chloe by her shirt closer to her. Chloe kneeled on the couch, her legs in between Beca's. Beca wrapped her arms around Chloe's waist. Chloe cupped Beca's face, connecting their lips. "You're more beautiful than any model out there." Beca mutters into the kiss.
Chloe chuckles, "Shut up. No I'm not." Beca shakes her head. "Why are you doubting me? You are absolutely gorgeous, Chlo." Beca pouts, and Chloe half smiles. Chloe's upfront to everyone is that she's always happy, and that she's 'confident about all this'. But there's more to her than meets the eye.
"What's wrong?" Beca asks. Chloe shrugs. "There's a lot you don't know, Becs. Yeah, I seem confident all the time, but that's what I want everyone to think. You know? Like I'm always happy, so others around me won't worry."
"Then, what do you feel?" Beca knows not to force Chloe to answer anything she isn't comfortable with, not pressuring her. Chloe sighs.
"Through out my middle school and high school experience, I was bullied a lot. Especially about my physical appearance. Aubrey was there at times to help me when I fell, but I didn't want to make my problems hers. There was this girl, who was like the most popular girl in school. She always had a trail of boys and a group of friends to keep her company. She used to call me fat, ugly, nerd... nothing. And everyone started doing it to me- it just sort of caught on. I was so depressed, I couldn't eat, or sleep. I'd wake up in the middle of the night, and I'd feel so helpless. Around sophomore year, I became anorexic and bulimic. People laughed about it. I went from 114 pounds to 87 in two weeks. Around that time, all I had was Aubrey. My mom and dad were always too busy, unless it had to do with my medication or grades. I guess college, and moving away just made everything better. I needed to get away. It was too hard, and I just wanted to give up. I -I-I." Chloe stuttered, as tears rolled down her face. Her grip on Beca was unbreakable. Beca was in pain, but didn't care one bit.
Beca sighs, standing up. Pulling Chloe to her bedroom. "You trust me?" Beca asks, looking into Chloe's blue orbs. Chloe nods, confused a bit, wiping the tears. Beca starts to remove Chloe's shirt. Chloe tenses up a little until Beca whispers, "Relax, just- let me." The girl removes Chloe's bottoms as well, leaving Chloe in her matching blue underwear and bra. Beca pulled Chloe to her full body mirror, and stood right behind her, wrapping her arms around the ginger's waist. They looked in the mirror. Chloe still had no clue why Beca was doing this.
"Look at you, Chlo. Every thing I see in this very mirror- there is only one word to describe it: beautiful. Those people in the past- they stay in the past. Their words should NEVER matter to you. I don't see you as nothing. I see you as a young, talented, beautiful, smart, funny girl who I can never let go of. The dumbest mistake I could ever do is let you leave. Leave me. I'm glad you trust me enough to open up to me. I want you to know that I don't see any imperfection on you. I love your smile. I love your laugh. I love the way you bite your lip when you're thinking, or lip your lips before you speak. I love the way you make me feel. Li-like I'm not alone.. Or like life's worth it." Beca smiles, kissing the girl's cheek.
"Let's go to bed." Beca says after a comfortable silence fills the room. Chloe nods, going to Beca's drawer and putting on a t-shirt. Beca takes off her shoes, and changes into a more comfortable attire. They two lay in bed, facing each other. Beca hold's Chloe close, looking in her eyes as she whispers sweet nothings into the girl's ear. They're not tired. They just lay there, letting time pass.
