Bechloe - Love Me or Leave Me

Chapter 12 - Studying

Two weeks after Beca and Chloe's trip to the Golden Gate Bridge and things between them were fine. Chloe was always round her house, not seeing her, but seeing the guys. She was smiling, Aubrey and Emily were loving seeing Chloe smile. Of only they knew the reason behind her smile.

The pair of them only met up once after that but messaged a few times. They were still friends, friend who had kissed a couple of times. They'd not kissed since the bridge neither of them were initiating it, they just hung out and got to know each other a bit more.

Chloe felt guilty. She'd not spoken to Chicago properly for a week, he was getting busy with school and football. He messaged when he could, but football would go over and by the time he'd gotten home, showered, and eaten it was late and he was tired. He would send a text ever night, but he wouldn't get a reply until the following mornings. Chloe messaged him as well but of course with him being busy she knew he wouldn't reply any time soon.

Her schedule was getting busier, in the last few days she'd started to get work to do as well as a test that had to be done online and handed in by Sunday night.

It's Thursday night, and Chloe's in the library just doing a bit more studying for the test. She felt like she was nearly ready to do it, just wanted to go over a few more things, so her plan was to revise and them do it tomorrow.

Bree 18:35: Karaoke bar tonight? 2 for 1 on drinks starting at 8!

Em 18:41: I'm in! X

Chloe knew that Aubrey had been trying to get her to go to the bar, but 2 for one on drinks? She couldn't say no, but she wanted to make sure that she was prepared for the test.

Chlo 18:42: 2 for 1 sounds good, but I have a test due on Sunday, I need to revise ☹

Bree 18:43: Ohh ok, boo. I get it though, promise next week? X

Chlo 18:46: Absolutely, as long as it's the 2 for 1! I know what you're like, I need alcohol before anything like that!

Bree 18:51: Alright, I'll hold you to it! IF you change your mind tonight, message and I'll say if we're still here or not. Em, want to have pre's with Jess and Benj? Amy's tagging along too! X

Em 18:57: Good luck on the test Chloe! Aubrey, give me 5 and I'll be there! X

Chloe put her phone down and looked back at her laptop screen, carrying on where she was.

What felt like a long time, Chloe looked over at her watch, seeing it was one half 9 she was ready for the test and if she didn't do well she did have another attempt to do it.

It was a quick 30 question test and only took her 20 minutes to do. She got her percentage straight away getting 91%. She sighed loudly and shut her laptop down. She didn't expect to get a high grade the first time, but she wasn't going to do it again, she was just going to head back.

Chloe didn't remember instantly that the girls were all out. It slipped her mind. the only reason how she remembered was looking at her phone and walking through her door and Emily wasn't there. There were a couple of messages in the group chat, but also one from Beca.

Beca 21:02: Wish you were here, Beale. Least this wouldn't be too bad 😉

Em 20:58: Shame you're not here Chlo, you'd beat us, drinking. Have a picture :P x

'I mean it isn't even 10 and it ends later. I'm not tired, I could go out' She thought back and forth reasoning with herself that maybe going to bed should be better. Surely she can have fun, right? "Fuck it, I'll call Aubrey" she said out loud.

*Ring ring*

"Chlo? You okay? It's really loud"

"I take it you're still there?" Chloe laughed.

"Yeah, we're next"

"Alright, but there better be a tequila with my name on it, Bree"

"YOU COMING?" Aubrey shouted down the phone.

"No need to burst my ear drum, but yes, I'm just changing and then I'll be there. Is it the one you showed me the other week?"

"I'll text you the address, oh, and I'll make sure that there's a tequila here"

"Awes, I'll see you in a bit"

Going in her drawers, she picked out a white top and a pair of black skinny jeans. She grabbed a plain black hoodie and sat on the bed putting her vans on. 'Should I text Beca?' She thought. 'There's no harm, just to see if she's still there'.

To Beca 22:03: Hey, you still there? Assuming you're with everyone?

Beca 22:04: Yeah, Amy dragged me out. Heard you're coming down? How was your test?

To Beca 22:05: Yeah I am. It was good, finished it easily. I'm leaving now.

Beca 22:06: Ok, do you want me to come and meet you? Could do with the air?

To Beca 22:06: I'll be there in about 10, but sure, why not?

Chloe grinned, she was genuinely looking forward to seeing Beca, and the fact that she was going to come and meet her. She put her phone in her pocket and left her room. She knew that she would feel it in the morning, drinking, and having to get up for a 9am lecture would be challenging, but oh well, you're only at College once and she has been working hard. She's allowed a bit of fun.

On the walk her phone vibrated. She looked at her watch to see what or who it was. Smiling again seeing Beca's name.

Beca 22:12: Let me know when you're by Nelly's and I'll come and grab you.

To Beca 22:15: Nearly at Nelly's

Beca saw that message come through and said to Stacie and Amy that she was just getting some air. Both of them nodding, asking if she wanted another drink for when she came back, which she gladly accepted before saying that it was the only reason she came out.

"Hey you"

"Hey yourself. I'm ready to get drunk"

Chloe hugged Beca. It wasn't like she was going to do anything, just the next thing her arms were out and Beca accepted.

"What was that for?"

"Just felt like it"

"Wierdo. Please don't drink too much, I have no idea what kind of drunk you are, but I bet you are one who needs help walking" Beca sniggered

"Shut it" Chloe shoved her. "I'm just ready to make some bad mistakes"

"Oh yeah? What would they be?" She smirked.

"Drunk, and singing karaoke with Aubrey, but also you, if you were up for it?"

"Hmmm, maybe. Buy me a drink and we'll see what happens"
