Beca Mitchell's life

Beca's POV

I wake up with a horrible pain in my body and leg. My eyes flicker open and I see that I'm in a hospital bed. What the fuck?

I look to the side to see Chloe sitting on a chair holding my hand so I squeeze her hand and her head shoots up. "You're awake." She whispers with tears in her eyes.

"What's going on?" I ask looking around the room to see Jack asleep on Aubrey who's asleep leaning on Stacie and Mom asleep with Liz asleep next to her.

"You punched Aubrey, threw up, died and came back to life." Chloe says and I roll my eyes with a small laugh. "You gave us all a huge scare."

I laugh a bit too loud and Jack wakes up. "BECA!" He screams waking everyone up.

Moms head flies up and she's got an unreadable look on her face. "How are you feeling?"

"In pain." I mutter and she nods. "Why am I in pain?"

Mom looks away before looking back. "They done the surgeries otherwise you would have died and they wouldn't be able to bring you back."

I look at her with a frown. "They cut my leg off?"

She nods giving me a sympathetic smile. "Just under the knee."

I just lay there with my hands covering my face. "What the fuck." I mutter over and over trying not to cry. "Can you all leave?"

I hear them all agree and I open my eyes once I hear the door shut to see Chloe holding out my phone. "Call me if you need anything."

I shake my head. "C-can you stay?" She nods and goes to sit down but I stop her. "Can we- ah cuddle?"

Her eyes go wide. "I don't want to hurt you."

After a while Chloe agreed so she's been sitting up behind me with her legs either side of my body and my head on her chest. We've just been sitting in silence for the past 2 hours and she's been braiding my hair.

The doctors have come in a few times and put me on more meds so I'm only in a little pain currently. "How are you feeling?" The ginger asks placing a kiss on my head, I just shrug. "Do you wanna see your leg? It's all bandaged up." I shake my head and she just nods.

"I'm scared." I croak out as I turn to look at her, she nod and wraps her arms around my body being careful of my abdomen where they cut me open. "I'm missing half my fucking leg what the fuck?" I say and start laughing.

Chloe giggles a little but looks worried as my laughing turns into sobs. She holds me tighter while I just cry. "You're gonna be okay, baby." She whispers.

"I don't want to be like this." I whimper once I've calmed down. "I get fucking bullied enough without being the kid with no leg who has fucking cancer, Chlo."

I've been in hospital for just over a month now and I'm fed up. Chloe's stayed here with me most nights even though I've told her she doesn't have to but she has and it's really sweet.

I get snapped out of my thoughts by a knock on the door. "Yeah?" A guy walks in and I frown. "Sorry can I help you?"

"Beca Mitchell, right?" I nod. "Ah good, I'm Theo Davies from Republic Records. I heard your demo and it was amazing, I've been trying to contact you about a deal but you haven't answered your emails so I tracked you down."

I hum. "Yeah I haven't really been looking at my emails recently."

Theo nods and points to one of the chairs, I nod and he sits down. "Would you be interested in a record deal with us?"
