*Next morning*
I wake up to the sound of the doorbell ringing. I crawl outta my bed as I hear my parents opening the door. I get out of my room just to see Tom asking my mom if he can talk to me. As the memories of last night play in my head I get a little scared. My mom steps aside to let him in and when he sees me he looks both sorry and shy.
"Hey... Can we talk ?" he asks, looking down when I don't return his smile. I cross my arms over my chest so he knows that I'm beyond mad and nod before I move to the living room. I close the door behind us but don't sit down because I don't want him to get too comfortable.
"Talk." I demand in an ice cold tone.
"Hum... I just... I'm sorry about last night... I know it doesn't excuse everything but I was drunk, and hurt that you'd run away from me after I gave you my heart... which by the way still stands... Will you please forgive me and give me a second chance, please ?" he asks pleadingly. Okay, I'll admit it was not fair of me to run away like that.
"I forgive you." I state simply, looking for a way to turn him down then but I don't have enough time to open my mouth before I feel his lips crashing onto mine and his arms around me. I don't kiss back because it feels wrong, froceful, so I just push him away, now angry with what he's just done. "That doesn't mean I wanna get back with you !" I yell which makes him flinch as his face falls.
"What ? Why ?" he asks confused. I calm down a bit.
"Because... it just doesn't feel right... That's what I was going to tell you in your car before you... Look. I'm sorry, I just don't feel it." I explain and I really am sorry ! That is until I see his fists clenching and unclenching as his jaw tightens.
"There's someone else, isn't there ?" he asks through his teeth. How does he know ?
"What ? NO !" I try to lie but it comes out in a high pitched voice, making every ounce of credibility go away.
"DON'T LIE TO ME !" he yells, his face growing red. "It's this Donald dude isn't it ?" he asks.
"No, there's no one. I just don't want to be with you anymore. Especially now that I've seen this violent side of yours." I say as I open the door. "Now get out." I tell me, not looking at him once.
"Chloe... I'm sorry I didn't mean..." he starts but I cut him off.
"GET. OUT." I demand more firmly this time and pointing towards the exit. When he opens the front door he turns back one last time to look at me.
"Goodbye Chloe." he says with tears in his eyes. I don't respond and storm back upstairs into my bedroom to collapse on my bed and burry my face in my pillow to be able to scream quietly.
"AAAAAAAAAAH!" I let out. I turn around and grab my phone.
Beca's p.o.v.
I'm awaken by my ring tone. Once upon a time I used to be woken up by my phone ringing when I was still working. The last time it happened was on my last mission. My very last one. I was 18 years old and they required my youth for credibility...
FLASHBACK
Gosh what time was it ? I shifted in my bed to look at my alarm clock. 8:30 am. Boy, who calls at 8:30 am on a saturday morning ? I groaned and grabbed my phone. Luke.
"What's the word, early bird ?" I asked in a sleepy voice which made Luke chuckle.
"Not much of a morning person huh ?" he said.
"I'm 18. Can you blame me ?" I answered.
"No, I can't ! But, I can wake you up ! Look Beca, today's the day you're meeting Alfonzo, and we need to check if you're all set." he stated.
"Okay... just let me take a shower first... Oh crap !" I exclaimed as I heard the water running already in my bathroom.
"What is it ?" Luke asked, worried.
"Bridgit slept over last night. She's in the shower. And I still haven't found an excuse as to why she won't be able to come over for quite a while..." I answered.
"Uh... Okay, we'll hire some technicians to go in and out and... pretend it's some kind of renovation." he stated.
"Okay, thanks, you rock ! When do you wanna meet ?" I asked.
"Well, about an hour before you go to meet him so let's say... 2 o'clock." he said.
"Alright, see you then." I replied and hung up as Bridgit came outta the bathroom. "You're up early baby !" I said as I walked towards her and kissed her bare shoulder.
"Happens !" she replied as she dropped the towel that was covering her body. I'd seen her naked like, a thousand times, but it still provoked some tingling between my legs. I gulped and looked away. She faced me, chuckling, and raised an eyebrow as she stepped closer to me, slowly. "Am I making you uncomfortable, sweet heart ?" she asked in a husky, sexy voice. I wrapped my arms around her neck.
"Oh, you don't know, the things that you do to me..." I said in a desperate tone before kissing her lips softly. Soon the kiss became more lustful and heated, and Bridgit moaned against my lips.
"I want you..." she whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. I pulled back and looked at the clock. 9am. 5 hours before I was off to see Luke.
"I gotta see my cousin at 2pm, but you can have me until then babe..." I told her and off my clothes were taken...
*At 2:30 pm*
"... and really, no contact with your parents, alright, Alfonzo is well known to be very suspicious and on edge. If anything hints at the fact that you're not really Alicia Brant, it's gonna be genuinely bad. Get it ?" Luke asked, looking at me with the most serious face ever. I just nodded my head firmly. "Good. Did you tell Bridgit not to go over to your house ?" he asked.
"Yeah, yeah she knows, so she wanted me to stay at hers all the while but I told her I'd stay at yours." I informed him.
"Okay, you did well. Now are you ready ?" he asked.
"Yes. I'm a badass girl, with an attitude and quite the temper. No family. I'm ready. More than ever." I replied confidently and he chuckled.
"You know, minus the family part, you did just describe yourself ! Haha, anywayyyy good luck Beca. Try not to get hurt." he told me as I headed to the door.
"Will do !" I replied and off I went...
END OF FLASHBACK
I should've listened to him... I groan as I try to put the memory aside and grab my phone on the nightstand to look at the caller. Chloe. I smile and answer.
"Goodmorning sunshine !" I greet her happily.
"Wow. It's crazy how you can make me feel better with two words." she answers. Feel better ? Meaning she was feeling down ?
"Babe are you okay ? What happened ?" I ask, worried. She sighs.
"Tom came by. I broke up with him. Now he thinks there's someone else." she explains.
"Details. Now." I demand and soon she tells me everything. "Oh, honey, just ignore him he was just hurt, you did the right thing..." I say to comfort her.
"I know, I just needed to hear it. Let's not talk about it anymore." she says and I couldn't agree more.
"Okay. Soooo, I was thinking... Would you like me to take you out on a proper date now that you're free ?" I ask, suddenly shy.
"No." she replies and I instantly feel my heart sinking down.
"What ? But I thought -" I am cut off.
"Baby don't panick, I said no because I want to be the one to take you out on a date..." she explains and I sigh, relieved.
"God... You had me worried for a moment." I say which makes her chuckle.
"I'll need time to set it up though so you'll have to wait till next friday !" she tells me.
"Arrrrh, you know I'm impatient !" I whine, frustrated.
"Well you'll make an effort because you love me !" she says, matter of factly.
"You're lucky I do." I reply. We stay on the phone for about half an hour, talking about random stuff and eventually hang up. The rest of the day goes by real slow without Chloe by my side so I decide to do my homework, which I usually don't do but I need to get my mind off of her, off of the past. I need distraction.
*Monday Morning*
Errr... Math. Yay ! I had never liked school. Not for real. Not for cover. But I get to see Chloe again ! Like, yes we have agreed not to go public yet, and it's going to be hard to keep my hands off of her but just the sight of her... Her smile, that would make me happy. Happy again. Like I used to be 3 years ago.
Chloe enters the classroom after me and I'm already settled. When she sees me she smiles, but then looks down and blushes when I wink at her. Oooooh this is going to be FUN !
We are halfway through the hour and I'm utterly bored, but like, really, really bored, so I decide to have a little fun. Chloe's doing her exercises and calls the teacher over for a question. That's when I decide to act. I put my hand on her knee first and wait for her reaction. She tenses up a little bit and a smirk appears on my face. Let's make this interesting. I move my hand further up, my nails slowly making their way on her thighs. She swallows hard and is stuttering and blushing when I reach her inner thigh and go back down.
"O-okay, t-thanks." she says to the teacher.
"You're okay miss Beale ?" the teacher asks, confused.
"Y-yeah !" she replies, wide-eyed as I run my nails back up. The teacher obviously doesn't really buy it but goes away anyway and I take my hand off of her. She glares at me before speaking. "You bitch..." she says and I smile innocently. "Oh no. Don't think you'll get away with this that easily. It's SO on." she warns in a defying tone. Well if she wants to play, I'll play along, I'm so up for this, and I'm so gonna win.
"You don't stand a chance Beale." I reply, confident.
"We'll see about that !" she winks and turns back to her exercises.
Okay, I know I said I'm up for it, but there are only 2 hours left and Chloe still hasn't made a move, so I'm starting to get a little worried when I enter the changing room before P.E.
I don't even have enough time to take one clothe off that Chloe is in front of me. In her underwear. I can't help but check her out, which makes her smirk, knowing that no matter what next her move would be, she'd get her revenge. She has a sport bra in her hand and comes closer.
"Rebecca, could you please unclasp my bra ?" she asks with an innocent tone, though the look on her face is anything but innocent. Oh dear Lord. My heart is pounding hard in my chest and as I get up to do as I'm told, I feel my cheeks reddening. I bring my shaky hands to her back and push her hair aside. I carefully try not to make too much contact between my hand and her skin, and unclasp it in a second. Yeah, I'm that good with my fingers ! I sit back down and can't stop myself from staring while she takes off her bra and puts on her sport bra. "Thanks Reb !" she says, happy with my reaction. She then bends over to grab something behind me and whispers in my ear. "I know you wanna touch me... Gotcha !" she says and runs back to her changing spot, smiling. Oh I'm sooo going to kill her. And with that begins a whole week of teasing and revenge.
Chloe's p.o.v.
Friday arrives. I've spent my all week teasing Rebecca. Well I've had my fair share of being teased myself but... I'm pretty proud of what I've done, to be honest. I've had an awesome week so far, between the fun of teasing, the make out sessions with Reb in the bathroom... I'm just happy.
I'm at my locker, smiling at my thoughts when I hear someone clearing his throat next to me.
"Hey ! Donald is it ?" I ask since I havn't talked to him much.
"Yeah... Well I was there last saturday night, you know when Tom..." he states shyly.
"I know what you're talking about." I assure him.
"Right... I just wanted to know if you were okay you know.." he says, reddening.
"You're sweet. Yeah, I'm okay ! I broke up with him on sunday morning." I inform him.
"So you're free ?" he asks, smiling.
"I knew it." I hear somebody growl and turn around to face... Tom. Dang it.
"You knew what ?" Donald asks, confused.
"That she dumped me for you !" he replies, obviously angry. Donald smiles as he turns to me.
"You did ?" he asks. Oh FUCK ! This is getting really annoying.
"No, I didn't." I say to Donald and then turn back to Tom. "I don't wanna date Donald, never have, never will, but let's say I did, that would be none of your business so back off !" I snap. Donald seems hurt but right now I don't care, I just wish Rebecca was there.
"Of course it's my business ! I deserve to at least know why you ditched me !" he yells back. I really don't like his attitude, so I sigh and try to walk away but he blocks me. I want to ask Donald for help but he is already gone. Tom is now inches from me, bending down so his eyes meet mine as he points a finger at me. "It might not be Donald, but I know there's someone, and when I find out who that is, I'm gonna rip his head off." he threatens through his teeth. Who the hell does he think he is ?! I feel so much anger boiling inside of me at this very moment...
"You're right. There IS someone. And if you ever lay a finger on that person... You'll regret it." I say coldly and as menacingly as I can manage. Obviously not much because suddenly I'm pined on to the wall violently, Tom's hands on my shoulders.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME ?!" he yells. He's about to push me harder against the wall when the weight of his body goes away and he flies on the floor until his back hits the trashcan. Rebecca. I am so relieved to see her.
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM HER !" she yells, red with anger. Tom gets up and walks back to her. He throws his fist at her but she avoids it and pushes him down again. I'm amazed by her rapidity and strenght. Like, how can an average 17 year old girl manage to bring down a guy of twice her size ? Well, it must have been an adrenaline rush due to her anger... And I have to admit that it's kind of hot too... Before he has time to get up, a teacher gets out of a classroom. He doesn't see Tom on the ground but Reb and I just quickly follow him outta the building to her car. Once we are in she's still fuming.
"Baby..." I starte, she looks at me.
"You know he's lucky that teacher got out because I would've kicked his ass, and I'm wearing my doc martin's." she says. The last comment makes me laugh and after a second, she laughs with me.
"Drive." I say and she starts the engine down the road.
Beca's p.o.v.
Stupid stupid stupid ! Like, I couldn't have let him hurt her though right ? I had to do something ! Even if it showed my skills, I just couldn't control myself.
"Drive to your place." Chloe says, breaking my train of thought.
"What ? Why ?" I ask, confused.
"Because I'm gonna borrow your car to go home, you're gonna change into something comfortable but still classy, and I'll pick you up at 6." she states firmly. Wow. I wasn't used to her giving me orders... But it's kind of a turn on.
"Yes ma'am !" I answer, happy that she doesn't seem to be suspicious of anything concerning my outburst, and park in front of my house. We get out of the car and meet in front of it. She takes my hands and pecks my lips. I'll never get tired of this feeling...
"Don't miss me too much !" she says with a wink.
"You neither !" I reply, watching her get into the driver's seat. She waves bye and drives off. Okay, it's 4 o'clock, therefore I have two hours to get ready. I go inside and my mom is there, smiling wide. "What now ?" I ask, frowning.
"Chlo-chlo and Reb-reb ! Making out on a plaid !" she sing-songs and I roll my eyes at her.
"Mom, you know it doesn't work with my real name right ? Besides, I swear you're such a kid sometimes, seriously, how old are you ?" I ask rhetorically but she answers anyway.
"15 ?" she guesses.
"You sure ?" I ask again, raising an eyebrow while taking off my jacket.
"10 then ?" she replies.
"Yeah, that's more like it. Anyway, I have to go get ready, Chloe'll be there in two hours !" I inform her.
"And what will you guys do ?" she asks, genuinely interested and not just teasing, for once.
"Hum... I don't have a clue actually. She's taking me out on a date but she won't tell me anything about it !" I reply truthfully.
"Okay then, I hope you have fun !" she says.
"Thanks mom ! I love you !" I exclaim.
"I love you too honey." she replies as I give her a quick hug before climbing up the stairs.
I never leave my mom without a hug, afraid that something bad might happen again. I wouldn't leave her without saying I love you since...
FLASHBACK
I was on my way to my 'appartement' when my real phone went off. I was not supposed to pick it up but the ID said it came from the hospital. What the hell ?
"Hello ?" I answered cautiously.
"Hello miss, I wish to speak to Beca Mitchell, please." A male's voice asked.
"This is she." I replied, worried.
"Alright, I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you but your mom was in a car accident. She's in a stable state at the moment, she just woke up from a coma she'd been in for two days..." I cut him off
"Why didn't you call me then ?" I asked, pissed.
"Well as I was going to say, she didn't have any ID so we couldn't reach out to anyone until she woke up. Sorry." he explained in an apologetic tone. I sighed worriedly. I knew I shouldn't but I had to see her... make sure she was okay.
"What hospital ?" I asked, finally making up my mind. The man told me the adress and I hung up, not bothering to reply. I jumped in my car and drove over there as fast as I could.
When I finally got there I asked for her room and headed towards it. 302. There it was. I knocked.
"Come in..." I heard a weak voice responding. I entered quietly and as soon as she saw me, my mom's eyes opened wide. "You shouldn't be here, Beca !" she said, worried.
"I know but I had to make sure you were okay..." I replied, rushing over to hug her. She hugged back before speaking up again.
"Beca, you need to go now... it's not safe for you to be here. Who knows if they aren't watching your every move ?" she warned and I sighed.
"Okay, I'll leave. I love you mom. Take care." I said, opening the door.
"I love you too sweetie. Be safe." she said.
"I will." I promised and left. I knew I shouldn't have gone there, but my mom, she was my everything. Aside from Bridgit, my girlfriend and one true love, she was the only person I had in my life. Well, there was my step dad but... She had raised me alone. She was my world and I didn't know how I could live without her, which was why I had needed to see her.
END OF FLASHBACK
I know she's fine now, but you never know what to expect from life... Although going to see her had been the biggest mistake of my life... Anyway ! I run into the shower and smile as I let the hot water run down my body, thinking about how lucky I am to be able to call Chloe mine. And my mom is so supportive ! Always has been. She's the best mom ever. I get out of the shower and decide to straighten my light brown hair and hang a strand of it behind my ear with a clip. Alright, done. So, something comfy and classy... I pick out some black skinny pants and a large white sleeveless shirt that shows the top of my bra, but not in a slutty way. I put on some black boots with high heels and a black leather jacket. I look into the mirror. Something's missing... Ouh ! Jewelry ! I decide to wear a long necklace that falls on my chest and reads 'rock on'. I pick out 3 silver colored rings : a large one on my right thumb, a thin one on my right middle finger and another one with a dragon on it on my left hand. I take about 20 silver colored bracelets that I put on both wrists. Better ! Now make up. I put on some red lipstick, black eye shadow and mascara. After all that I still have half an hour left so I decide to apply some red and black nail polish, only my middle finger in black, like Megan Fox in Jennyfer's body. She'll be there in 10 now. I look in the mirror one last time before going out for a smoke. I look pretty good yeah... Ain't used to straight hair but I just hope Chloe will like it...
