Monday came and per usual Chloe was walking with Aubrey to Pre-Cal. They hadn't really talked besides a short phone call on Sunday where Chloe assured her she was okay. And by the smile on Red's face Aubrey guessed she was more than okay.
"What did Beca do to make you smile now?" Aubrey asked bringing Chloe out of her thoughts. After leaving Sarah's Saturday night they stopped at Chloe's to get Patches before going to Beca's house since Chloe left her car there the night before. Beca had told her she could stay all night since her parents weren't home which the redhead was glad for. She hated staying in the large house by herself, even if she was seventeen.
"She's amazing Brey." Chloe sighed whimsically linking their arms. "She cuddled me all day Saturday while we slept. Then we went over to her sister's to watch Kayden. She is so good with her." Chloe smiled as she remembered the night. "We acted out and sang all the songs in the Wizard of Oz. She was sooo cute singing the lollypop Guild and King of the Forest." Aubrey started laughing. Hard. So hard she had to stop walking as she doubled over.
"Oh my God, I wish I could have seen that! Please tell me you recorded it on your phone."
"No she was already embarrassed enough." They started walking again. "I kissed her." Chloe blurted out.
"What!? You're just telling me this now!" Aubrey pulled her to the side. "Details. Now." She demanded and Chloe was wearing a megawatt smile.
"It was incredible. I thought my heart was going to explode out of my chest."
"Wow, you really like her don't you?"
"Brey I've never felt this way before." She started walking towards the classroom. "I spent the night Saturday night with her and we stayed up all night talking. It was one of the best nights of my life." She stated as she sat down at her desk. "And she kissed me before I left Sunday evening. She's taking me on a date Saturday." At this point Chloe had a dreamy look about her.
"I hope it works out Chlo, you deserve to be happy." Aubrey said before turning around as the teacher came in.
Beca was walking back to her locker between second and third period when all of a sudden she was shoved against them. "What the fuck did you do to my car!?" Tom yelled keeping Beca against the lockers.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Beca claimed ignorance and removed his hands from her.
"You fucking smashed the hell out of my car. I know it was you!" Tom's face was red with anger, but Beca still kept her cool.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't do anything to your car." She tried to walk away but he slammed her against the lockers again. I'm really starting to lose my patience fucker! Beca took a deep breath trying to calm herself. Don't do anything, don't do anything. She repeated to herself.
"Fuck you! I know it was you bitch!"
"Hey! Let her go!" Jessie appeared behind them and pushed him away. Thank you Jessie! I was about to rip his fucking head off.
"Stay out of this." He pushed Jessie down, by this time there was quite a few people gathering in the hallway. Conveniently none were faculty. Beca helped Jessie up to his feet and before she knew it she was being spun around and punched in the face. She fell to the ground and that's when all hell broke loose. Jessie swung at Tom but he was too quick and blocked it punching Jessie in the nose making it bleed. Tom tried to lunge at Beca who was getting back to her feet. Luckily before he made contact again Donald came from the side and cold cocked him effectively knocking him out. Donald bent down to make sure Jessie was ok and about that time a Coach Blair showed up. She took in the scene, a knocked out Tom on the floor, Jessie with a bloody nose, and Beca with a quickly swollen eye.
"What happened here?" She asked, the crowd quickly dispersed leaving the four in the hallway. Donald stood up having witnessed the entire thing before getting involved and explained the situation.
"You see Coach, Tom here shoved Beca against the lockers and was yelling at her and when Jessie tried to intervene. Tom pushed him then punched Beca. Then tried to attack Beca again and that's when I stepped in and punched Tom." He didn't even feel guilty for knocking him out, in fact quite the opposite. Coach Blair let them go since they obviously were just defending themselves. She sent them to the nurse's office to get looked at while she woke Tom up and helped him get to the principal's office. By the time lunch rolled around everyone knew of the fight. The lunch bell rang and Chloe ran in search of Beca. There were a range of emotions going through the redhead. Worry for Beca was definitely the number one emotion, followed by rage and fury at a close second. She saw Beca putting her books in her locker and ran even faster towards her.
"Oh my god Beca!" She said as she saw the brunette's eye that was almost swollen shut. She cupped the brunette's cheek careful not to touch the black eye. "That fucking jerk. Are you ok?" Beca nodded grabbing Chloe's hand that rested on her face.
"I'm fine Chlo." She kissed the back of Chloe's hand. "Come on lets go get some lunch."
They all sat around the lunch table talking about the fight. None of the girls got to see it at the time it happened. "So he punched Jessie and was trying to come back for me when Donald all of a sudden knocks his ass out." She looked over at her step-brother who was sitting with Donald, rather closely. Chloe noticed this as well.
"Looks like Donald may be into Jessie after all."
"Sure looks that way." Chloe snuggled up to Beca laying her head on the brunette's shoulder.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Chloe asked for the umpteenth time making Beca smile.
"I'm fine Chlo, it's going to take a lot more than a black eye to hurt me. Besides it makes me look more badass." She said making Chloe giggle. "I wanted to kick his ass as soon as she shoved me but I had you're voice in my head telling me to keep my cool."
"Yeah if you would've thrown the first punch you would've probably been expelled." Aubrey said to her. "Luckily though now that honor falls to the douchebag." She added causing Beca to smirk.
"I think I'm rubbing off on you Aubrey, I thought I was the only one who called him that." Aubrey shrugged.
"I'm treating it kind of like Voldemort. I'm afraid if I say his name he will appear." Everyone laughed and enjoyed the rest of their lunch. Beca was definitely enjoying the attention she was receiving from Chloe. She had kept in contact with her in some way or another the entire lunch period. She was currently drawing patterns on Beca's thigh with her fingertips driving Beca crazy.
"You coming to the game tonight short stuff?" Fat Amy asked bringing Beca out of the Chloe induced haze.
"Huh? Yeah of course, wouldn't miss it."
"You mean you wouldn't miss Chloe in those shorts?" Aubrey teased making Beca smirk and look at Chloe.
"Well that's definitely a bonus." Making Chloe blush. "But I want to be there to cheer all of you guys on. You all have quite grown on me."
"Awe, we like you too short stuff." The bell rang and they all made their way to their next class. But not before Chloe gave Beca a chaste kiss and whispering in her ear.
"I'm going to make it very difficult for you to concentrate on anything else but my ass tonight."
"Tease." Chloe smirked and made her way with Aubrey to her next class.
"You guys are so cute together." Stacey told Beca as they made their way to History. "Have you made anything official yet?"
"Not yet, I was thinking of asking her to be my girlfriend on our date on Saturday." Stacey squealed. "Do not tell anyone though!" Stacey nodded. "I mean it not even Aubrey. I want it to be a surprise." Stacey acted like she locked her lips and threw away the key. "Think she'll say yes?"
"Are you kidding, of course!" She answered. "By the way sorry about the eye, I mean we all kind of had a hand in vandalizing his car." Beca just shrugged.
"Still worth it. I mean he got expelled and I got some Chloe attention."
"Yeah she couldn't keep her hands off you at lunch."
Beca smiled. "No complaints here."
