Unclosed Desires

Chapter 24: Haunt You Everyday

Beca walked around her bedroom getting everything that she needed for today whilst Chloe just sat on the foot of the bed and watched her after just failing to convince Beca that she shouldn't go back to work today of all days.

"Why can't you just wait it off until tomorrow?"

"I having been waiting it off for nearly two weeks, Chloe. I've been home and well for three weeks" Beca stopped and looked over to Chloe, standing in her bra as she had her shirt in her hand "My brain recovered whilst I was in hospital hence why I was discharged and with proper lubrication and being under the right medication I am more than well enough to work with my gunshot wound-"

"You have been off for emotional recovery do you really think going back to work on the day a film crew is coming to do a documentary is wise?"

"I really don't care I am going crazy in this apartment. I can't go for a run because it hurts and even if it didn't hurt I still wouldn't go but that isn't the point the point is-" she paused as she put on her shirt and then whispered as she leaned forward to her "I can't take it anymore"

She pressed her lips against Chloe's for a brief firm moment and let out a hum as she pulled back and said once turning to crab her coat "Besides. Callie has only agreed to put me on her service if I agree to take it easy. I'm basically going to be her chart girl today, who's be scrubbing in for me?"

"I'd rather not say"

Beca slowly turned to her and nodded her head at the redhead before taking one step closer "Who?"

Chloe sighed and let out a long shrug "Kepner"

" Kepner ? The girl who caused my brother to get shot?"

"She didn't cause him to get shot, Becs. it wasn't her fault"

"If she hadn't of walked out the office with her damn mouth-"

Chloe stood up and stated as she put her palms against the back of her waist as she just stood in front of her "Derek was going to get shot anyway and those are his words. She's harmless and riddled with guilt over it, she was already terrified of you before all of this just cut her some slack she was scared"

Beca just tightened her lips in thoughts of what she could say as an argument back but Chloe then added before she even had the chance "And you're only pissed because it was your brother else you would be agreeing with me"

Chloe could literally feel Beca's brain burning as she tried even harder to think of a comeback but ultimately she couldn't "Damn it" she put on her jacket in a more vicious manner and just walked out the bedroom with Chloe and her giggles trailing behind.

Arizona had hung back from going into work because she too just wanted to make sure that Beca was sure in going back to work on this particular day especially. And before she could even open her mouth, Beca held her finger up "Yes I am sure that I want to go back. I am ready and I am fine. The shooting was over two months ago"

Arizona took in a breath and said in a mumble as she handed over Beca's travel mug which was filled with her coffee "It's been less than that to you given the coma"

Beca just stared at her, giving her the look which Arizona knew better than to push down on so she decided to leave it for her own wellbeing. But it seemed Chloe didn't as she said once they began their journey to the front door "You know they're gonna want to ask you questions? They were asking about people who were hurt and your name came up-and with you being Derek's sister"

"You know" Beca stopped and turned to her for a moment "I love your concern for me and the way I'm going to get through this but I'm already sure, my mind is already made up now can we get to the car without having to stop to have another conversation about this?"
