Remind Me I'm Alive (Bechloe)

Airplane in the Night Sky

Cora had never been so frustrated in her entire life. After everything they had been through, Chloe chose Jamie over her, her own sister. She wasn't sure why she was so surprised. Chloe always chose him. But Cora couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't sit there and watch him control his sister's life. For the first time in her life, Cora was on her own with nowhere to go.

Not knowing what else to do, the redhead went back to the club, hoping to drink the night away. However, when she got there, she was surprised to see Beca. The small brunette was all alone at the bar drinking. It wasn't like her at all. Beca was a recluse who never really went out.

"Hey," Cora said, sitting down next to the smaller woman.

"Heyyyy you.." Beca said, slurring her words, as she hugged the other woman. "I was just thinking about you... Like why weren't you here? I wanted you here, and now you are here. Crazy huh?"

"Beca, you're drunk," Cora said.

"Am not..." The brunette said, picking up her glass.

"Jesus Christ," Cora sighed.

"Hey, is he here?" Beca said, looking around, causing the redhead to shake her head.

"Come on, let's get you home," Cora said, helping Beca to her feet.

"But what about Jesus?" Beca said, barely able to stand.

Cora had never seen Beca like this. For someone who was usually in a bad mood, Beca seemed to be a happy drunk. Cora had never seen her this giggly before, and she was worried that the smaller woman would do something she would regret tomorrow if she stayed here. Her fears were confirmed when a tall, handsome man with black hair approached them as they were leaving.

"Hey, pretty girl, where are you going?" The man asked Beca.

"Hey... you... This one is making me go," Beca replied as if she knew the man.

"But we were going to do shots, remember?" the man said, putting his arm on Beca's.

"Look bud, we've gotta go," Cora said, pushing his hand away from her.

"Please, can't we do one shot?" Beca wined.

"No," Cora snapped.

"Hey, let her do what she wants," the man said in a tone that made Cora want to bash his teeth in

"Look, cock sucker, I've had a long day. I'm taking my sister home, and if I ever see you touch her again, I will cut your nuts off. Got it?" Cora snapped, causing the taller man to back off.

"Haha, nuts," Beca laughed as Cora led her out of the bar.

God, it's like you are a five-year-old, Cora thought as she dug through the older woman's purse, looking for her car keys. Cora didn't have a driver's license, but there was no way she was going to let Beca drive home. Once she found them, she helped the older woman into the car.

"Look, I'm still on probation. So, if we get pulled over, I'm going to jail," Cora muttered as she started the car. Their ride was strangely silent. The younger redhead looked over occasionally to see Beca just staring out the window, deep in thought. Even when they reached Beca's house, she was mostly quiet. The younger woman helped Beca in as she stumbled into her bedroom.

"Do you need me to help you get ready for bed?" Cora asked. The smaller woman nodded yes. So, Cora helped her sit down on her bed and then started to look for something that the smaller woman could sleep in. She found a pair of sweats and an old t-shirt in her dresser and decided that was good enough.

"Can you stand up for me?" Cora said, helping her to her feet. As she stood up, Cora saw a strange look in Beca's eyes. The brunette gave her a soft smile, and it made Cora feel good to see her happy for once.
