3 weeks after Harper came home, everything was pretty much back to normal. Beca and Jesse were still living with Chloe in hopes of finding a house close by.
One night, Chloe decided to go out to a club to try and meet people. She had yet to find a boyfriend, and she felt that since she was already 31, it was about time to start. Beca stood on a step stool, curling Chloe's hair. "Ok, don't stay out too late and don't get too drunk. I'll give you a ride home if you need it. Text me if you need anything."
Chloe rolled her eyes. "I'm not gonna get drunk. I'll try not to stay out too late either. I promise I'll call when I'm about to leave. You'll be up right?"
Beca laughed. "Oh yeah. Jesse wants to get back to my moviecation, so I'm probably gonna be up all night. You look gorgeous ."
Chloe hugged the smaller girl. "Thanks so much. I'll see you later."
After Chloe left, Beca tucked Harper into bed. It was eight o'clock, and she still had to work on mixes. She couldn't really concentrate, though. She was worried about Chloe. Chloe wasn't the party type of person, and she was easily persuaded into bad decisions. She managed to push her worries aside when Jesse wanted to start their first movie, The Longest Ride. Beca thought it was a nice movie, and she and Jesse may have had a little sex during the sex scenes in the movie. She had fallen asleep right around the end before she got a text from Chloe.
Can you come pick me up?
Yeah, of course. Accidentally get too drunk.
Yeah...
Be there in 20.
Beca got out of bed and woke up Jesse. "Jess, I'm picking up Chloe. I'll be back in an hour."
She made herself a coffee and got going. It was 2 in the morning, and she knew she probably wouldn't fall back asleep.
When she walked into the club, Chloe was sitting in the corner, on her phone. Beca walked over to her. "Hey, sweetie. Let's go home."
"But, Becs, I need another drink," Chloe said, her words slurred.
Beca thought about the coffee in her car. "I have something for you in the car."
Chloe stood up and walked with Beca to the door. She was still walking ok, until the cool air hit her and she nearly fell over until Beca grabbed her waist and held her up. Chloe stopped. "Beca, why are we spinning?"
Beca rolled her eyes. "We're not honey. Get in the car." She tried to be nice, but she was getting impatient and she wanted to go back to bed.
When they got home, Beca made Chloe sit at the breakfast bar and she made her a cup of coffee. "Chloe, sober up. We have to go shopping tomorrow, and you can't be hungover."
Chloe took a sip of her coffee. "I met a guy, Beca. And we had sex."
Beca was shocked. "Oh my god Chloe. Do you know his name?...or anything about him?"
"His name is Erick."
"That's all you know? Chlo that's not good?"
"Becs, I'm sorry. He got me really drunk, and I couldn't stop."
"Chlo, it's ok. I know how you are."
Chloe finished her coffee, and Beca put the mug in the dishwasher. "You sober enough to go to bed?"
Chloe got up from her chair. "Yeah, thanks so much, Becs."
Beca gave a hug to the redhead. "No problem. Now try and get some sleep."
Beca tucked herself into bed and went back to sleep for what felt like 30 minutes. Jesse woke her up because he had made breakfast for her. After another hour, she decided she should wake up Chloe. "But I don't wanna get up, my head hurts."
Beca pulled her friend out of bed. "Come on. It's Anna's birthday and we have to go shopping and set up the surprise."
Chloe dragged herself out of bed. "Now I know what you feel like every day."
Beca playfully punched her in the arm. "I do NOT feel hungover every day."
Chloe laughed. "I need coffee."
Beca rolled her eyes. "You're turning into me. Just get dressed and we'll go to Starbucks."
When they got to starbucks, Chloe got the biggest size coffee with an espresso shot in it, and Beca got a mocha frappuchino. Chloe looked at Beca, who was slurping the last bit of her frappuchino. "Becs, how drunk was I last night?"
Beca sarcastically smiled. "Well, you wanted more drinks, you almost fell because of the air, but I caught you, you threw up, and you thought the room was spinning. You were also deliriously laughing and you made up some bullshit about this guy you had sex with."
Chloe had a dead serious look in her eyes. "I did, Beca. It was an accident. He got me really drunk."
"DUDE! Chloe, thats not good. This could be really bad, Chlo. You could get pregnant, and you have no idea who he is or where he is."
Chloe suddenly got really upset. "Beca, oh my God. What am I going to do? I didn't even think about that."
"It's ok. We don't know anything yet. Don't freak out until you know anything. You'll find out if you are in probably 3 weeks." Beca was holding her friend's hands. She felt bad for Chloe; Chloe was really scared. Sure she had enough experience to raise a child; she helped Beca out with Harper, but she didn't even know Erick's last name. Her child would grow up without a dad.
Chloe managed to keep herself together ok. "You're right. I shouldn't worry for now. But it's just so worrying."
"It will be fine." Beca pulled her friend into a hug before they walked into the mall.
After awhile, Beca's knee started to hurt, so she sat down. Even though it had been 3 weeks, it was still bothering her so she left the brace on. Chloe helped her stand up after a while. "You should probably go to the doctor, Becs. Anna's party isn't until 7."
Beca rolled her eyes. "I'm fine, Chlo."
"I don't think you are, Becs. It's been three weeks and you're still limping." Chloe was really concerned.
"Fine," Beca reluctantly agreed.
