Notes: So this was a silly prompt that obviously got out of hand. You guys should know me by now. Hope you enjoy this one. Here's my entry for day 2: bed sharing / one bed.
Summary: Beca, Chloe and Amy somehow find themselves sharing an apartment in NY. Beca didn't expect to be sharing a bed with Chloe but what she really didn't see coming was having a girlfriend at the same time.
***
Their first few months had been hectic. They were all getting used to their own jobs. Chloe was planning to enroll in vet school early next year so she's currently working as a vet's assistant. Beca was starting out as a junior producer and no one's really sure what Amy's been up to.
Beca felt like she was only living with Chloe and she didn't mind that. Amy always had her own thing going on. She would be in and out of their apartment but they would all sometimes go out on the weekends. Most of the time it was just Beca and Chloe.
Four months in Beca made a confession to Chloe. It wasn't easy for her to open up but this was Chloe and she couldn't keep it from her any longer.
In one of their nights in, Beca decided it was time to tell Chloe. They were already in their pyjamas getting ready for bed. Beca's been antsy about this the whole week. She wasn't sure if Chloe noticed but as always Chloe was patient with her and waited for Beca to talk to her in her own time.
Beca found courage once the lights were turned off. Amy was out with who knows who and it was just her and Chloe.
Chloe had her back turned to Beca and she thought it was now or never. "I have something to tell you." She said in almost a whisper.
Beca could feel Chloe turning to face her. She didn't dare look because she might chicken out.
Chloe was facing Beca now using her tucked arm to hold her head up. "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah. Everything's great." Beca said but she didn't sound great.
"Okay..."
"I'm seeing someone."
Chloe doesn't say anything. She knows Beca had more to say after that.
"Her name's Charlie. I think you've met once or twice. I work with her. We've been talking and hanging out a lot and last week she asked if I could be her girlfriend and I said yes."
Beca doesn't understand why she was feeling guilty or embarrassed. It was almost as if she felt like she was cheating on Chloe.
"Oh." It was all Chloe could say. She wasn't sure what to feel about it. She figures she's seen it coming. Beca had been busier with work. The past few weeks Beca's been coming home late and had to cancel a few of their lunches and dinners together.
When Beca didn't say anything more, Chloe knew she had to say something more than 'oh'. But she couldn't. She didn't trust her voice at the moment and she was blinking back tears she wasn't expecting to be there. She was thankful they were having this conversation in the dark. She kept her eyes on Beca's silhouette and her heart broke. She always thought it was going to be her and Beca in the end.
"So yeah. There's that. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
Chloe was finally able to recover. "Don't be silly Bec. Are you happy?"
Beca looked at Chloe for the first time and Chloe's breath hitched when their eyes met. She wasn't sure if it was her seeing things but she couldn't read Beca's expression.
Beca sighed then turned back to face the ceiling. "Yeah." She said but she wasn't convincing anyone even herself. Beca thought she was happy. She should be, right? Why wouldn't she be happy?
