A/N: Thanks for all the follows, and favorites guys, way to make a girl feel special :) Well this chapter sort of came to me and I had to write it down before I lost it. I know where I want to go with this story I just don't know who to get there just will be some major angst in the near future, but this is also a Comfort story so not all bad things will happen.
Also the bold italics are Chloe speaking on the phone. Hope you guys enjoy. And just italics are memories.
Beca hears a sigh and some noises in which she can tell Chloe is crying when her wife finally speaks " Beca we need to talk."
"What is it Red? Do you want me to come get you, or are you on your way?" Beca asks rapidly just wanting to see her wife.
"Beca."
"Okay, sorry I know you wanted space, but babe its been a week. What going on? I just want you back home so I can help you. We can overcome this babe."
" I… I can't do this right now Beca. I am gonna go to Florida for a while and stay with my parents. Please just understand it was nothing you did, sweetie. I just need to get out of the city, I am tired of being afraid." Chloe responds trying to fight the tears.
"Chloe baby, what do you mean you're leaving? You don't have to be afraid, I am here. I can protect you." Beca says hoping to get through to her lost wife.
"Beca. I'm sorry. I am truly sorry but I just can't be here."
" Well I am not working on any records right now so I could come with you, I could use some time away from the Big Apple, too. Make it like a mini vacation." Beca says hoping her wife will agree to this. But knowing Chloe she would not be suggesting something this drastic without thinking of all other possibilities.
"No. I can't, you can't-"
"But I want to. I will do anything for you Chloe you are my life. I would give anything to help you."
"I won't let you do that Beca. I love you. God I love you so fucking much it hurts, but right now I am hurting and I can't let that hurt you."
"I love you too, Baby but like I told Jesse that night in the hospital I would have rather it been me. I can't see you hurting, I would give anything to have you happy."
Chloe sighs knowing the hardest part of her life was coming up. "Baby, you keep saying that you would give anyth-... do anything for me. If that is true, and I know it is because you would not lie to me I need you to do this. I need you to let me go. I need to help myself right now."By now Chloe could not stop the tears from flowing.
"But, Chl-"
" Please Beca just let me do this. It is not forever, it will only be for a few weeks. I promise. I would never do anything like this if I didn't think it was best right now."
" Okay, baby." By now Beca was crying too, trying to think of a reason as to why her wife would leave.
"Thank you Beca. Like I said this is not forever, just until I get myself better,okay?"
"When do you leave?" Beca says between her tears hoping to get sometime with her wife before she leaves.
"I am at the airport, my flight leaves in an hour."Chloe knew this wasn't the best way to do this but she also knew if she looked into her wife's beautiful eyes, she would never leave.
"What, I won't be able to make it to the airport in time to see you. I am not even able to give you a proper goodbye." Beca says no longer trying to hide the fact that she is sobbing like an infant.
"This isn't a goodbye Beca, just a short trip away. It's not a goodbye I swear,it's an "I'll see you later."Okay?"
"Okay. I love you Chloe. It will be okay, I promise."
"I know Beca, I know. I love you too. Thank you for understanding."
"I don't understand, but if you think this will help then I will give it a try. Will you at least call me this time?"
"I don't know if I can, but I wi-" Chloe stops talking and Beca hears the final call for the flight being called over the loudspeaker.
Beca begins crying again "I guess this is time to say goodb-"
"Don't say it Beca. I love you."
"I love y-" Chloe cuts her off by ending the call knowing if she doesn't leave now she never will. She quickly contemplates the latter before she decides she needs to do this and picks up her carry on and heads to the terminal.
Just as Beca realises Chloe ended the call she gets a knock on her door. She doesn't want to answer so she turns to walk away when the door slowly opens. She turns around just in time to see her best friend Jesse Swanson there. She immediately runs to his open embrace and lets herself go. As she cries she tries to speak but nothing comes out.
"I… I, I didn't even… I didn't even get to say goodbye, Jesse." she sobs. "Why would she go? Did she say anything to you?" Beca asks. Jesse fights back tears as he sees the hurt in his friend's eyes. He really wants to make everything better for her but right now there is only one person who can help Beca, and that bubbly redhead is currently on a plane traveling a thousand miles away.
Meanwhile:
Chloe is in her seat crying as the flight attendant informs everyone where the exits are. Once the demonstration is complete she hears the captain begins to speak, "Hello Passengers I am your pilot, Derek Shepard. I would like to personally thank you for using Mercy Grace Flights. And remember it is a wonderful day to fly."
With that a different stewardess walks up, "Excuse me miss, I couldn't help but see you were upset if there is anything I can get for you please just let me know."
Chloe wipes away the tears in her eyes and offers a small smile, "Thank you. I think I will try and take a nap, but could you possibly bring me some water."
A few minutes later the flight attendant returns with her water. "If you want to talk I will be in the back behind those curtains. Feel free to come back if you need too."
Chloe quickly thanks her and uses the water to take the pills the doctor gave her last week to help her with the nightmares so she can sleep.
Back in NYC:
Jesse is on the phone with his fiance, with Beca cuddled into his side finally asleep. "Babe I don't think I will be able to come home tonight. I just got Beca to calm down and now I am being used as a body pillow."
"Awww, but you're my body pillow" jokes Aubrey. "It's okay Jesse, Beca needs you I get it, trust me I was just needed for a week." Aubrey sighs into the phone.
"What's wrong Bree?" questions Jesse knowing something is bothering his fiance.
" I know things are hard for them and I understand they need our help, I just wish I could spend more time with you."
"I could put Beca to bed and come home if you really want." Jesse suggests.
"No it's fine, she is gonna need you when she wakes up. I just hope they get things figured out. I can't see them suffering like this for much longer. As much as I hate to admit it they are the cutest aca-couple from Barden and they have to stay together. They are the couple that gives everyone hope, y'know?"
"Yeah, I know. I will call you in the morning. There is no point in me staying up all night watching her sleep. I think she will be out for a while though, she cried so much I'm sure she is exhausted."
"Okay, sweetie I love you."
"Love you too, angel. Sweet dreams."
Beca begins to stir as Jesse hangs up the phone, worried that he may have woken her up Jesse doesn't move. When Beca settles again Jesse just looks at his best friend and recollects the past weeks events.
It is then that he cries for the first time since that horrific night. He cries not just for the Chloe and Beca because of what happened, but for what Chloe now thinks of herself, and how it will crush Beca when she finds out. He finally calms down and just as he is about to fall asleep he remembers the conversation he overheard just nights ago.
*Flashback*
On his way back to the living room as he passes the bedroom Jesse overhears crying, which isn't out of the ordinary right now but what he hears next is what stops him dead in his tracks.
"Chloe what do you mean you're leaving?" Aubrey whisper yells.
"I can't be here right now Bree. I can't fake the look on Beca's face everytime she looks at me."
"What do you mean, she doesn't look at you any differently?" Aubrey questions honestly confused.
"You don't get it, Beca isn't going to want me anymore. Not now that I am garbage." Chloe responds crying.
Hearing this nearly breaks Aubreys heart and Chloe can see that but doesn't care. What she doesn't see is that it is also breaking Jesse's heart, "How can she think Beca won't want her? Beca is and has been in love with Chloe since freshman year at Barden." Jesse thinks to himself.
"Chloe you can't honestly believe that can you? Beca loves you more than anything."
"She might have before, but not now. Not after this!"
"Chloe that is never going to change, that girl loves you more than Fat Amy loves cheesecake."
Jesse snickers at his wifes analogy knowing she is just trying to lighten the mood. But Chloe doesn't see it that way. "DON'T YOU GET IT BREE? I WAS RAPED! BECA ISN'T GOING TO
WANT SOME USED UP PIECE OF GARBAGE LIKE ME! And I won't force her into it either. I know she married me but I am going to give her the out. I know her, she is gonna want to leave me. So instead of having to make her feel like she is responsible, I am going to go. I will stay with my folks for a while and see where I end up."
"What? You can't be serious Chlo?"
"I am serious I already called my mom, and booked my flight. I leave in two days and my brother will be picking me up from the airport when I land."
"Well are you going to go see Beca to say goodbye at least?" questions Aubrey, knowing how much this is going to hurt the little brunette she has come to love.
"No. It will just hurt too much. I will call her at the airport." And with that Jesse hurried to the living room hardly able to breath. Chloe left Aubrey's room and went to bed shutting the door to the world for the next two days.
Later that night while lying in bed Aubrey begins to tell Jesse what happened. " I know, I heard."
"What are we gonna do Jess, this is not the way for them to fix things." Aubrey says in tears cuddling into Jesse's side.
"I don't know, but I do know we need to let them work things out on their own."
"You do remember it took them two years to get together right, we don't have the time to let them be in control of this."
"Okay fine, but we need to let them do this on their own first. How about after a month if things don't get better we help them." suggests Jesse.
"Okay, fine one month no more." responds Aubrey as she kisses her fiance and falls asleep.
Present Day NYC
Jesse looks at his distraught best friend and thinks to himself, "This month thing is gonna be the longest of my life. I don't think I will be able to see that through." Knowing he can't see two of his best friends hurt for very much longer.
"What are we gonna do to get her back Becs?" say Jesse to no one as he slowly drifts to sleep.
A/N: Poor Beca! Finally for those of you who were hoping for the best got the definite answer of what went down that night. I know this chapter kind of sucks but don't worry things pick up. Coming up: Chloe and her brother have a heart to heart. Jesse and Aubrey plan how to meddle, and depressed Beca. Maybe even a surprise visit.
P.S. The pilot was for all my Grey's lovers out there!
Anyway I know another quick update but the ideas keep flowing. Wrote this out last night, figured I'd drop it before and come home to a ton of new reviews.
Please Review!
I love all yinz'
