Chloe was getting ready for bed since she needed to be at the office early the next morning. She was brushing her teeth when her phone pinged with a text notification. She didn't have the number saved and was curious who texted her. She opened the message, and her jaw dropped seeing it was from Beca.

She honestly didn't think Beca would ever message her, since it had been a month since she saw Beca. Her thoughts drifted back to that day that both made her heart smile and break. She was so thrilled to just have seen Beca that her heart soared. But with Beca's reaction to see her and the way she ran out of the door, her heart broke. She knew she had nobody to blame but herself for the reaction.

Chloe read the message again and went to look at her calendar. If she was being completely honest with herself, she wanted to see Beca tonight but knew that was too last minute. She saw that after work tomorrow she was off the next two days. So, she quickly wrote out a response.

[To Beca]

I work tomorrow but the next two days after I am free. We can meet up for coffee if you want.

Chloe hit send and went back to getting ready for bed. She was excited and nervous about what Beca responding to her. She was also nervous with how she was going to explain this to Beca. She can't help feeling like a complete asshole when she remembered that she accused Beca of raping her. She knew Beca would never do that in a million years.

Tears sprang to Chloe's eyes as that night and the past couple years went for her crossed her mind. She just hoped that Beca would eventually forgive her, but also knew it was a long shot. Chloe wiped her eyes and got into bed. Before she turned off her phone, she received another text from Beca.

[From Beca]

Sunday it is then. Meet met at Urth Caffe at 1pm.

Chloe replied with an "I'll be there." And then went to bed.

Beca decided to take Stacie sightseeing at her favorite spots in LA on Saturday. They were out and about all day that Beca just wanted to stay home on Sunday. But unfortunately, Stacie reminded her that she needed to meet up with Chloe to get the closure she needed.

Beca still didn't believe she needed the closure because she has moved on with her life. At least she kept telling herself that, but now they both were on the way to the coffee shop. Stacie wasn't going to stay home while Beca dealt with this, she knew she needed to be there whether Beca liked it or not.

They parked the car and headed inside. Beca spotted Chloe sitting at a table towards the back, so she made her way over to her. Chloe was playing a game on her phone and didn't see Beca walk up to her. Beca cleared her throat to get the redheads attention. Chloe's head snapped up and she grinned.

"Hello Beca, please take a seat. I was just waiting on you to get coffee, what would you like?" Chloe answered sweetly. "Chloe, you don't need to get me a coffee but if you are offering, I will take a caramel macchiato." Beca answered Stacie was watching the two from the other end, wanting to give them some privacy. She also wanted to call Aubrey, so it was a bonus for her to be at a distance.

When Chloe returned, she handed Beca her coffee and sat across from her. Beca took a sip then looked Chloe in her eyes. Beca forgot how beautiful Chloe's eyes were, she shook her head and said "Well, Chloe you wanted to explain what happened go right ahead." Beca said trying to not give away how she was feeling right now.

"Right, so uh I guess the best place to start is the beginning." Chloe said nervously, she was hoping they would have small talk, but it seemed Beca just wanted to jump right in. "That night after the show when we went back to your hotel room, I felt like I was on cloud nine. I missed you and just spending time with you always made me feel better. We started drinking and then as I was about to leave, I kissed you." Chloe was starting out with the basics.

"Cut to the chase Chloe, I already know that stuff, in case you forgot I was also there." Beca said harshly. She couldn't help herself; she didn't want to relive that part because it was the worst night of her life. She said how her tone hurt Chloe and she back peddled. "Chloe we both know that we had sex, can we just get to the part of why you called me a rapist?" Beca said a little more quietly.

"I regret ever calling you that. You have never taken advantage of me, and there was no reason you ever gave for me to even think that about you. The truth is I was scared and confused." Chloe took a sip of her coffee before she continued. She stared into Beca's beautiful midnight blue eyes and continued.

"I was scared because when I was a little kid my family looked down on being who were gay. They thought that those people were the scum of the earth, and they couldn't believe society allowed them to live. They were despicable people, I grew up around people like that, but my parents weren't like that. They taught me to accept everybody, but I spent more of my childhood around all of my family." Chloe was crying as she kept talking.

"So, when I was a teenager, I had a friend who was gay I didn't know this at the time. I also didn't know that they had a crush on me and kissed me. I was so caught off guard that before my brain could process what was going on my cousin pulled her away from me. I got berated from my cousin and they told my whole family what happened. The girl I was friends with was bullied so bad she committed suicide. While I was beaten, even though I wasn't gay and I tried explaining it to them, they still wanted to make sure I never would be. So, I got beaten up a lot as a kid that it scared even the thought of being gay out of me.

So, I finished high school there and went to college close by, everything was going great I was seeing Tom, but then I met you. We became best friends, and I just wanted to spend time with you. It wasn't until you didn't answer me after the USO tour that I started to get confused with my feelings. I had sexy dreams about you, I got jealous when I saw a picture of you and Jesse together. But at the time I wasn't sure what I was feeling. I just thought something was wrong when you didn't answer me, and that Jesse would hurt you again.

But that night when we slept together, I felt so alive. Even though I was drunk I remembered everything that happened. We fit together so well, and it was like we were one person, our souls were connected. I have never experienced that with anybody in my entire life. But when I woke up and saw that we slept together, all the memories from my childhood came back. I didn't want to get beaten up again, or worse if they knew I slept with a girl.

Beca I am so sorry I every accused you of raping me. I saw a therapist a little over a year after the incident. But during that time, I was failing school, and I would get drunk and sleep with any man who wanted me. My life was falling apart but I didn't know how to get it back. All the guys I slept with were never as good as what we had. Aubrey then convinced me to see a therapist and I agreed. It took about a year a therapy before I finally understood that I was in love with you. That I had been in love with you since I first met you.

I have been working on myself to be a better person. I cut off all ties with my family once I realized how toxic they were, and I never looked back. I went back to school and turned my life around and ended up getting a job out here. My life has been quiet, but I always wanted to find you. I never stopped thinking about you. Beca, I want to be in your life again because you are the one person who just gets me like nobody else." Chloe finished as her mascara was running down her face from all the tears she shed. "Beca, I want to be your girlfriend, I want to be your everything." Chloe said aloud.

Beca sat there stunned of the story she just heard. She just felt completely overwhelmed she wasn't sure what to do. She heard herself finally say "Chloe, I am in a healthy relationship with Ross. I love him, and as much as I appreciate you telling me your side of things I don't know if I want you in my life." "But are you in love with him?" Chloe asked with some hope in her voice.

"Frankly that isn't any of your business." Beca commented back, so what she wasn't in love with Ross. She did love him though, just not as one should if you're together. "Beca, I know you might never forgive me, but I believe we are real soulmates. I know in my heart that one day we'll be together. I am telling you now that I will wait for eternity for you." Chloe said.

"Chloe I just can't do this with you. It's getting late and I am grabbing dinner with Stacie." Beca said as she got up and pushed her chair in. "Take care of yourself Chloe." With that Beca turned and made her way out the door with Stacie following behind her. Chloe just sat there not sure how to process this whole thing. One this is for sure though, Beca at least stayed the entire time to hear what she had to say
