Bechloe Week 2

Day 3 - Part 2

Beca was sitting on the sofa, her brows furrowed as she bit her lip when Chloe found her.

"Hey," Chloe said, causing Beca to look at her.

"Why are you here?" Beca blurted out. "I mean you could have gone home to your folks, or even to Aubrey's. Why did you come here?"

"Wow, she's angrier than I thought," Chloe thought. She cleared her throat and said, "Um, do you mind if I sit?"

"Go ahead," Beca said, waving her hand at the sofa.

Chloe sat and faced Beca. She took a deep breath and blurted out, "I broke up with Chicago."

"I'm aware of that," Beca said. "Aubrey already told me. But that wasn't my question. Why are you here? In L.A.? In my house?"

"Because you are kind of one of the reasons we broke up," Chloe said.

"Me?" Beca exclaimed. "I haven't even spoken to you or been around you for a year. How can I be the reason you broke up with him?"

"Just because I haven't seen or talked to you," Chloe said sighing. "Doesn't mean you weren't still present in my mind. And I'm not really blaming you; you were just part of the reason."

"Sounded like you were blaming me," Beca grumbled.

"I wasn't, I swear," Chloe said quickly. "Okay, so the first few months with Chicago were good. Then your song Freedom came out and I couldn't stop talking about it or you. Then when you did that video for the Cups song, it got worse. I missed you and was so proud of you, Beca, I couldn't help but talk about you. I guess Chicago got tired of hearing your name, and after a while, all we did was argue. Not about you, but about everything. I wasn't happy, he wasn't happy. He started to stay out late or not come home at all. I couldn't do it anymore so I told him I was coming home and he didn't do anything to stop me."

"Did he cheat on you?" Beca asked.

"I honestly don't know," Chloe said with tears in her eyes. "But, I think he did. That's the main reason I decided to come home. I couldn't trust him anymore."

Beca sighed as she watched a tear fall down Chloe's cheek. She slid over and wrapped her arms around Chloe. Beca held Chloe and let her cry it out.
