Bechloe - Love Me or Leave Me

Chapter 8 - New Feelings

Chloe looked around Beca's room and didn't expect it looking the way that it did.

She had her laptop on her desk, a book shelf on top and another bookshelf to the right of her door. Her bed was by the window, with a bed-side table with has a bed-side lamp, her charger, and a clock. The radiator was along the wall to the left of the door. The room was blue and had a few posters of bands, Chloe's assuming that these are her favourite bands. She stopped looking when she looked at the bookshelf, seeing a lot of books. She smiled at the books, a lot of which she had the same, but there were some that she didn't have.

Chloe didn't expect to see a good amount of books, both normal and clearly for her studies.

Beca silently walked past her as she was scanning the bookshelf. She picked up a book that was on her bed and quietly spoke "people who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are."

Chloe turned around and look at Beca and gave a look of confusion.

"A quote from this book, Call Me By Your Name" Beca showed Chloe the book. "It's not your typical woman-man romance, but I remember reading this is my junior year at school, it was recommended by a friend at the time. It's got sex in it, heads-up, but I just thought you might want to read it"

"Is this you actually being nice?" Chloe smirked.

"Hey, I can be nice"

"Just not to Emily"

"It's complicated. Read the book, or don't. I just thought"

"It's nice, thank you, Beca. I'll read it and get back to you" Chloe smiled and was about to walk out until Beca gently grabbed her arm.

Chloe looked at Beca and she doesn't know what happened, just all of a sudden she felt a pull towards the girl.

"Wait, please. Can we like restart? Go back to the first day we met. We got off on the wrong foot"

"You can say that again"

"We got off on the wrong foot"

Chloe gently smacked her arm. "Here I thought you would get sarcasm, after everything Aubrey said about you"

"Oh, I knew, I was just messing"

Both of them chuckled.

Beca was looking between Chloe's bright blue eyes. She took all of her features in, her long red hair that was down, her slight smile, and the scar on her forehead, how tiny her nose was, the fact that she didn't need make-up to look beautiful.

Chloe was just staring at Beca, staring between her blue eyes and lips. In that moment right there, she wanted to kiss Beca. She wanted to feel what it would be like kissing her. Beca started looking between her eyes.

Chloe put the book on the shelf and held out her hand for Beca, to which she gladly took.

Even though Beca's door was shut and no one else was in that room, to Chloe it felt like in that moment, that they were in their own little world and it was just the two of them. Beca moved closer to Chloe and there was a smaller gap between them. She moved a bit of hair out of Chloe's face and tucked it behind her left ear. Chloe licked her lips staring at Beca, smiling at the contact.

Neither of them realised that they were both leaning in until it was too late. There was no gap between them anymore. Chloe was kissing Beca Mitchell on the lips, it was a light kiss, but light enough for Chloe to smile, as she smiles, Beca very quickly snuck her tongue into the mix and smiled. Chloe felt fireworks as she kissed Beca. Beca moved both of her hands so that they were behind Chloe's neck and pushed them closer together.

After a minute of kissing, Chloe pulled back slowly but put her forehead on Beca's. She whispered 'wow' and both of them were smiling.

"I agree" Beca quietly said.

As Chloe thought about the kiss again, she had butterflies. She never really had that with Chicago.

Shit. Chicago.

Just as Beca was about to reconnect her lips, Chloe stepped back.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't, I can't be here"

"Wait Chloe, please"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kissed you. I have a boyfriend, and this shouldn't have happened" She walked out of Beca's room and Stacie saw Chloe leave Beca's room and go into where the boys where.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm going to go. I hope you don't mind" Chloe said to them.

"Chlo, you okay? You look pale?"

"Yeah, no, I just feel a bit sick, I'm going to go to bed. You guys just have a great night, and I'll see you all tomorrow. I am sorry" She didn't give them much time to answer before leaving the room.

"What was she doing in here, Bec? Did you sleep with her already?"

"What? No. I was giving her a book to read and we kissed, that was it"

"Oh yeah, how was it?"

"It was okay, I'm going to win this bet easily" She smiled. "Now come on, we've got to get to Jamie's. Are you ready?"

"That's what you think, but yeah, let's go"

Beca wasn't going to tell Stacie that she liked it. Beca's isn't for commitment, she's just for fun, and this bet is just for fun.

Once she was out of the house she had tears streaming. She just kissed Beca and cheated on Chicago. She would never cheat on anyone. She can see how much it hurts when people get cheated on, and she just did it to Chicago. How was she going to explain this? She can't, she just can't tell anyone, she can't even tell Aubrey because she knows how much she hates the girl.

Beca and Stacie saw Chloe practically rush out of the house. Not really thinking much of it.

Chloe got changed into her pj's, brushed her teeth, and got straight into bed. She just cried herself to sleep.

The next morning she woke up and her eyes felt so soar. She looked over at Emily's bed remembering that she didn't hear her come in, and she wasn't in her bed. She turned her phone on and saw a few messages. One from Emily saying that she was staying with the boys. There were also a couple from Aubrey, one from Beca and one from Chicago. She couldn't read either Beca's or Chicago's. She didn't have the strength to message them, so she just left those notifications as if she hadn't read them.

Bree<3 21:02 – How are you feeling? You left pretty quickly x

Bree<3 22:21 – I take it you're asleep, we're going to meet at the diner in the morning, 7, if you're up for it before lessons. Let me know in the morning x

Em 21:28 – Hey, hope you're ok. I'm staying out tonight, so you can sleep. Hopefully see you at Denny's?

Beca 23:08 – You left quickly earlier, just checking in.

Chic<3 06:19 – Hope you had a good night Chlo! I'll FaceTime you after football. Have a good day xx

She looked at the clock and saw it was nearly half 7. Her first lesson wasn't until 10, so she just decided to go back to sleep. She was tired after all the crying, so just changed her alarm to make sure it'd wake her up for 9, least then she'd have time to get ready for a day of lectures.
