Stacey chased Beca out the front door. "Beca wait!" But Beca didn't stop, she reached her car and doubled over trying to keep her emotions in check. How could I have been so stupid! Stacey reached her placing a hand on her back.
"Don't! Just don't!" Beca yelled trying to push her away but Stacey hugged her tight.
"Beca just wait! Listen to me." Stacey waited until Beca stopped trying to fight her before continuing. "There's something you need to know."
Aubrey found Tom and Chloe in the kitchen just as Beca said. She pulled Tom off of her. "What the fuck?" He yelled and as she figured Chloe could barely stand up. "We're kind of busy here!"
"What did you do to her?" Aubrey asked looking at Chloe. Her eyes were bloodshot and barely open. She knew that Chloe hadn't had anything alcoholic to drink since last summer. "What did you give her?" She looked at Tom.
"I didn't give her anything." Tom scoffed and walked away. About that time Fat Amy and Donald walked in.
"Chloe what did you drink?" She tried but didn't get an answer.
"She just had some water." Donald answered causing Aubrey to look at him. By this time Amy moved beside her and was pretty much carrying Chloe.
"Who gave it to her?" She asked looking around for the bottle.
"Tom did. Why, what's wrong?" She looked in the trash can and found the half empty bottle. She grabbed it and looked at Amy.
"Amy help me get her to the car." Amy nodded picking a drugged Chloe up bridal style. They made it outside and Beca followed by Stacey came running up.
"What the hell happened?" Beca still looked like she was about to puke.
"I think Tom drugged her." Aubrey said looking at her car.
"I'm going to fucking kill him." Beca started walking but Aubrey quickly grabbed her.
"Leave him, my car's blocked in. You need to drive us to the hospital." Beca nodded and helped fit Chloe in the back seat. Aubrey climbed in the back with her and Stacey climbed in the front seat with Beca. Beca peeled out heading to the closest hospital.
"I'm going to fucking kill him!" Beca yelled again speeding around the corner.
"Not if you kill us first!" Aubrey was trying to keep them from sliding all over the backseat. "Slow down or the hospital will have four patients instead of one."
"Sorry I'm just so fucking pissed off!" Beca slowed down a little. Stacey turned to Aubrey looking slightly guilty.
"I told her about last summer." Aubrey looked at her girlfriend disapprovingly.
"Stace you shouldn't have done that."
"It was the only way I could think of to get her to stay."
Aubrey shook her head. "Doesn't matter, Chloe would've told her eventually." She checked on Chloe who was pretty much passed out at this point. "Beca you're the first person she's liked in over two years just so you know."
"That just makes me feel even more like a dickhead, I was just going to leave her there with him."
"It's not your fault, you didn't know." Aubrey told her but it still didn't make her feel any better. I should've checked on her instead of assuming the worst. The rest of the ride was in silence. They arrived at the emergency room about ten minutes later. Stacey went to get the hospital staff as Beca and Aubrey got Chloe out of the car. By the time they got her out Stacey and a nurse came running out with a gurney. A few more staff members met them at the doors.
"What did she take?" One of them asked.
"We don't know. Someone drugged her with whatever's in this water bottle." She handed it over. One of the nurses took the bottle and left, presumably to get it tested. They wheeled her through double doors and one of the nurses hung back.
"You three have to wait here. Don't worry she's in good hands. Now come sit and answer some questions." The nurse took them into the consult room just around the corner.
"Can't we just go back and wait outside the room?" Beca asked as the nurse closed the door.
"First we have to treat her. Now has she had anything alcoholic to drink tonight?"
"No, she doesn't drink." Aubrey answered.
"You're sure?"
"Yes! We've been with her all night. She was alone for fifteen minutes and when we found her she barely had her eyes open." They gave the nurse all the information they had and told her about Tom. The nurse decided that she should call the police and Chloe's parents. Aubrey explained that they were out of town but she would try to call them.
An officer came to take their statements as they waited to hear news on Chloe. The nurse came to tell them that they pumped her stomach and that she would be ok. Beca was getting antsy, she was angry, and she wanted revenge. "What are we going to do about that fucking douchebag?"
"We are not going to do anything."
"What do you mean?" Beca stood and started pacing. "There's no fucking way he's getting away with this!"
Aubrey tried to be the voice of reason. "As soon as something happens he's going to blame us."
"Beca don't worry, Amy just sent me a message that said she was going to unleash the kraken?" Stacey said reading the message. Beca stopped pacing.
"What does that mean?"
"It means we don't ask and she doesn't tell." Aubrey answered.
"You know those stories she tells about her family being part of the mob in Tasmania. Well we think it's true. Because whenever she says that bad things always happen." Stacey shivered. "It may not happen right away, but it always happens." She said in an ominous voice. Beca looked terrified. She didn't know what to do with that information. That is until Aubrey busted up laughing.
"Baby you need to stop she's actually believing you." Beca looked at them disbelievingly.
"You guys are assholes." Beca sat down and actually for the first time since she saw Tom kissing Chloe she actually chuckled.
"Really it means that more than likely she's going to send one or more of her boyfriends to probably beat the shit out of Tom." Stacey corrected, "But you needed to loosen up. Chloe is going to be fine." About that time the nurse came in.
"Miss Beale is awake now and is asking for you. We're going to discharge her but she needs someone to stay with her since her parents aren't home. I already spoke to them and they are ok with whoever stays."
"I'll stay with her, don't worry." Beca volunteered before anyone else could. The nurse nodded.
"Make sure you call if she worsens throughout the night. You can go see her now and I'll have her discharge papers soon. She's in room 22." The nurse walked out and the three girls followed walking down the hallway.
"I would have stayed Beca, you don't have to." Aubrey said, she was used to being the one that was protective over Chloe.
"I know but if I'm not there with her you can guarantee that I'll be out hunting that bastard down."
Upon entering they saw Chloe hooked up to an IV bag to get some fluid in her, she saw them and sat up more in the bed. "Hey guys."
"Hey how are you feeling?" Beca asked sitting in the chair by the side of the bed.
"Like my head has been kicked repeatedly and my stomach has been pumped." Chloe smiled trying to make light of the situation. "What happened? The last thing I remember is dancing with Beca." Beca looked away to Aubrey to let her explain the situation, she was still trying to erase the image of Tom kissing Chloe. Aubrey took the cue and went to the other side sitting on the bed.
"You were drugged." She took Chloe's hand in hers. "We think Tom did it." Chloe vaguely remembered he gave her a bottle of water.
"Drugged me with what?"
"The nurse said there was enough roofies in that water to knock out a horse."
"The date rape drug? Did he-"
"No, no." Aubrey interrupted, "You were only gone about fifteen minutes before we found you." Aubrey paused looking at Beca then back to Chloe.
"Where was I? Who found me?" Chloe asked she really didn't remember a thing. Aubrey shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "Aubrey what happened?" Chloe asked again, Aubrey cleared her throat and answered her.
"Chloe, Tom had you pressed against the kitchen counter and was kissing you." Chloe immediately turned to Beca who had leaned forward in the chair with her arms on her legs and her head hanging down between them.
"Did you see?" She asked
"Chloe it wasn't your fault." Aubrey interjected, but Chloe ignored her.
"Beca did you see?" She asked again.
"We'll leave you guys alone." Aubrey and Stacey took the opportunity to leave the room. Once the door closed Beca spoke but didn't move.
"Chloe it wasn't your fault." She stated quietly.
"That's not what I asked?" Her voice a little bit harder than before. This time Beca looked up with tears in her eyes and that was all the answer Chloe needed. "Beca I'm sooo sorry." She barely got it out before Beca was standing up cupping Chloe's face with her hands.
"Don't. It's not your fault." She kissed Chloe's cheek, "Yes I saw. I came back into the house," Beca started pacing around the room. "And I saw…I saw him kissing you and I wanted to throw up." Beca's voice had an edge at the end. "I was going to leave you there." She was angry with herself, "I was just going to fucking leave you. If I hadn't run into Aubrey there is no telling what he would've done." She finally turned back to the redhead. "I'm sorry Chlo, I'm so so sorry. I was just so fucking pissed off," She shook her head. "I am still pissed off. I'm pissed off at him for thinking he had any right to touch you. I'm pissed that he could even think about doing something like this. But mostly I'm pissed off at myself."
"Beca." Chloe tried to interrupt but Beca was on a roll.
"I so fucking pissed off that I could have just left you. Left and he could've…"She couldn't even finish the thought.
"Beca, come here." Chloe tried again, finally Beca stopped pacing and sat on the edge of the bed. "It's not your fault. He's the only one to blame. Ok?" Beca nodded. "Now" Chloe grabbed her hand pulling the brunette towards her. "Just to be clear" Chloe sat up as well moving her hand behind Beca's neck pulling her closer. "The only one." She whispered, their lips inches from each other "I want to kiss…is you." Their eyes closed moving in as their-
"Okay we have your discharge papers here." The girls jumped apart as the nurse came in moving the curtain back. Beca hopped off the bed rubbing the back of her neck trying to hide her blush and avoiding eye contact at all costs. The nurse started removing the IV off Chloe's arm. "Now Chloe you're free to go but I want you to call if you start feeling worse. You'll probably have headache until your body properly rehydrates." She continued on giving after care instructions not having any idea what she just interrupted. "Now you're friend here is going to stay with you tonight and we've already notified you're parents. So as soon as you get ready we'll get you a wheelchair and get you out of here." She finished handing Chloe a bag with all her clothing in it.
"Thank you." Chloe replied sitting up and the nurse walked out. She looked at Beca. "You're staying with me?" Beca nodded.
"I kind of beat Aubrey in volunteering."
"And she let you?"
"I told her it was either that or I'm finding douchebag and putting him into the hospital." Chloe smiled at Beca protectiveness. "I'll let you get ready." She started to walk out of the room.
"Beca!"
Beca turned around, "Yeah?"
"Where's my hug?" Chloe asked smiling. Beca rolled her eyes going to Chloe giving her a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"I'll see you outside." Chloe nodded and Beca left for her to change.
