Meant To Be

Author's POV

"Girlfriend?", Aubrey asked. "Mhm, nice place you guys have here", Chloe walked in with Alice in her hand. "What are you doing here exactly?", Stacie asked. "I ju-", before she could finish, she heard footsteps and small bell ringing down the stairs. "Max, baby!!", she knelt down and pet the dog who's giving her many kisses. "Look at how big you got", Chloe said. "Need to go to work", Beca let out and walked to the door. "Not even a hi?", Chloe asked. Beca just ignored her and walked out.

"I'm sorry, Alice, but can we steal Chloe away from you for a while?", Stacie and Emily stood infront of them. "Sure!", Alice smiled. They all walked to Emily's room. "What the fuck are you doing here?", Emily said with frustration. "What?", Chloe answered. "Let me just paint a picture for you, two women fell deeply in love before the other one just up and leave without a goodbye, sounds familiar?", Stacie explained. "I didn't think it would matter to her, plus I had to do it. You guys understand", Chloe said. "Oh, I understand. I understand that after you left, Beca got addicted to drinking, she got suicidal, she attempted three times and it's all-", Emily cried. "What?", Chloe asked.

"It's not fair! So she thinks she can just leave and them come back all happy with her new girlfriend? It's not fair, Mom", Beca eyes teared up. "I know, sweetheart", she ran her hand up and down her daughter's back. "What am I supposed to do?", Beca asked. "You, are gonna be the bigger person. Forget about her. Show her that you're better without her, that you don't need her and make her regret leaving you", her mom advised.

Beca toughened up and drove back to the house. She walked in to see Chloe and Alice on the couch. "Hey... Becs", Chloe gave a small smile. "Hey", Beca replied bluntly. "Did Rose leave?", she asked. "No, haven't seen her", Emily replied. Beca ran to her room to see Rose still sleeping on the bed. "Hey, you need to leave. I have to deal with something, Luke's gonna give you a ride", Beca softly nudge her shoulder.

Once Rose was gone, Beca grabbed her headphone and got into a more comfortable outfit. She walked down to the living room where she was stopped. "Beca?", Chloe's voice gave her goosebumps. "Can we talk?", she asked. "Can't, need to work out", Beca replied and walked into a small room where they places a bunch of gym equipments. She blasted loud songs into her ear and let out her feelings on the punching bag.

She locked herself in the room for about an hour or two and got out all sweaty wuth ni traces of Chloe anywhere. "Beca, you smell!", Emily yelled out. "What? You don't like it?", she went and tried to give her a hug and failed miserably. "What are we having for dinner?", Aubrey asked. "Pasta?", Stacie replied from the couch. "Yeah sure, I'll come down in a bit", Beca went up the stairs to her room and passed the guest room where Chloe and Alice were staying. She shook it off and walked straight to her room.

"What are you doing?", Beca asked when she found Chloe holding a framed picture she has on the bedside. "The Paris trip", Chloe smiled. "Still not a big fan of privacy, I see", Beca chuckled. "I was looking for some towels and Fat Amy said you have some extras", the ginger replied. Beca walked to her wardrobe and opened up one of the drawers before passing Chloe a new towel. "Anything else?", Beca asked. "I wanted to say I'm sorry", Chloe sighed out.

Chloe's POV

I looked at the girl standing infront of me and I couldn't recognize her. She wasn't the Beca I knew. Her knuckles all red and bruises and she wasn't... happy. "I know when-", I got cut off with the door opening. "Babe, what's taking you so long?", Alice came in the room. "Sorry, here, I'll be there in a sec", I said. "But I already drew us a relaxing bath and the water's gonna get cold", she smiled. "Go", Beca said. I gave her a soft smile and left the room.
