Beca was sitting at her desk in her room, slaving away at a new project she was working on. It was currently 2 in the morning and something still wasn't quite right with it. She felt her eyelids becoming more heavy by the minute, but she couldn't give up just yet.
"God damn it!" Beca whisper shouted, banging her fists against the desk as she realized she had made another mistake in the track.
"Beca?" Chloe's voice came from her doorway. She turned around slowly to see the ginger staring at her.
"Oh, hey Chlo." Beca yawned.
"What are you doing up this late?" She asked, walking over to where her friend was sitting.
"Trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with my song." Beca grumbled, going back to face her computer and began to press some keys, "Why are you up so late?"
"Couldn't sleep." she said, looking over Beca's shoulder at her computer screen. "Becs, I think you should go to bed. You've yawned about 4 times since i've gotten in here." She said, resting a hand on the girls shoulder.
"I can't rest until this is done, Chlo. I need to finish in time." She grumbled, still trying to figure out why her track sounded off.
"Well, when does it have to be done by?" Chloe asked.
"Tuesday." was the brunettes response.
"Beca, that's three days away. You have plenty of time to do it during the day." She said softly, spinning Beca's chair around so she was facing her.
She took a moment to take in Beca's face. Her eyes were hardly open with bags underneath them, her face was slightly pale, and she was slumped in her chair.
"Beca," Chloe started, grabbing the brunettes face in her hands, "Why are you so worried about this?"
"I just-" Beca started before lowering her voice to barely above a whisper and averting her eyes to the floor, "I don't want to be a disappointment again. I- can't- be one again."
"Oh Beca." Chloe said, crouching down to the floor so Beca was looking at her, "Sweetie, you're not a disappointment. You never have been. I know you want this to be perfect, but it's your first single. You're going to make mistakes on it, and that's okay. But right now, I don't think you're okay enough to continue working on it until you get some sleep." She said softly, stroking Beca's cheek as she talked.
"But Chloe I-" She started, being cut off by a finger pressing against her lips.
"But nothing," She said softly, still cupping her cheek, "Beca I can see how exhausted you are. You can barely keep your eyes open right now."
"I can't disappoint though Chloe." Beca said, her voice slightly wavering like she was going to cry.
"And you won't. Your mind will feel so much better if you just get some sleep. I can even help you in the morning if you'd like. But right now, your mind isn't in any state to be working." She explained, eyes still locked on Beca's watery blue ones. "Stop fighting it, you need sleep."
Beca averted her eyes for a moment, processing what Chloe had said to her. Maybe she was right. She had spent over 9 hours working today and her mind was getting foggy. Maybe when she woke up, her mind would be fresh again and she would be okay to finish. And help from Chloe would be amazing.
"Okay." She all but whispered, looking back into Chloe's eyes as she said it. A small smile creeped on the redheads face.
"Okay," Chloe said, standing up and grabbing Beca's hands, "Let's get you to bed."
Chloe lead her over to her bed, untucking the sheets and allowing her friend to get underneath them before slipping into them herself.
"What are you doing?" Beca asked, as Chloe had never slept in her room with her before.
"Sleeping with you. I need to make sure you don't get up and start working when I leave." Chloe said, knowing the brunette all too well.
"Thank you." She whispered, facing Chloe, "Please, never stop arguing with me about working. I need to get better at not overdoing it."
"I'll make sure you don't overwork yourself. Just get some sleep for now, we can worry about that later." Chloe said, wrapping her arm around Beca's waist and snuggling her head into her neck.
Beca wrapped her arm around Chloe as well and tangled their limbs together, sighing in relief as she finally let her body rest.
