BECA'S POINT OF VIEW
Girlfriend? I have a girlfriend? I mean, I have a pretty hot girlfriend, but.. girlfriend? Scratch that, I have a smoking hot girlfriend. Last relationship I really remember is this one I was in in high school? That guy was weird..
"Uhm, yeah.. You have been for a while.. kind of.. we've been together for a little like a year?" The redhead replied to my questioning statement.
"Oh... I.. uh.. I'm sorry I don't remember.. I wish I did."
"I do too.." She whispered, "But it's okay, Beca. We- we can do this. We can get through this."
I like this girl. I smiled a little when I heard her say we could get through it. She believes in me, which is nice. I don't even know if I believe in myself right now..
"Thank you, Chloe."
Chloe smiled back at me. Her eyes are really.. distracting.. so is the rest of her.. Dang.. Okay, maybe I am lesbian? I mean, look at this girl.. Geez.
"Okay, Beca, what do we do now?" The ginger asked.
"Uhm.. I guess.. tell me how we met? And why I live in Miami? And why I drove into traffic?" I replied, just wanting to hear her talk some more.
"Ha, okay, well, may I?" She asked, motioning to the empty space on my bed.
"Haha, yes, you may." I said, sitting up. She sat down next to me.. something about this girl.. it was just so familiar. It was frustratingly familiar. The red hair, her voice, even her scent, I knew what all of it was, but I just couldn't remember. Chloe cleared her throat. She never broke eye contact with me. She looked into me, not at me.
"Well, we first met at an activities fair," She smiled softly to herself, "I remember you. You were stunning. Aubrey.. uhm, one of our friends. She told me not to talk to you because of your ear spikes and tattoos.. but I couldn't help myself. Ha, I had to know you, be close to you. I tried to get you to join our acapella group, but you, being stubborn, tough girl you, said no.. A few days later.. I heard you singing in the shower and I uh.. haha.. I walked in on you." I swallowed really hard, because I pictured Chloe naked. "At that moment, I knew.. haha, I knew you were smoking hot," Chloe joked, "Then, we sang together, naked, in front of each other. We sung Titanium.. You were perfect. I was pretty positive that I fell in love with you at that moment. I think that's when I convinced you to audition for our group.. Everyone sang Since You've Been Gone, but you.. First of all, you showed up late, but it was okay. Then, you sung this song with a cup and I melted. Aubrey, our friend, she fought me for days. She thought you wouldn't fit in and were too alternative, but after begging and pleading and bribing, she finally let us take you... best decision ever. You used your music skills to lead our acapella group to victory like 5 years in a row."
I stopped her there. "I really joined this group? Me? Are you sure? And this Aubrey person, I assume me and her aren't that good of friends?" I asked, looking into her bright, blue, sparkling, gorgeous eyes.
"Haha, yes, Beca. You joined us. Also, no. You and Aubrey are like sisters.. Anyways, somewhere along the way of all of this, you and I.. we got close. There was always someone in the way though.. This guy named Jesse. You and him were together for 4 years, I think?.. You'd think after 4 years I'd give up on chasing you, but, I don't know. I just couldn't. I knew I had to be with you."
I stopped her again, "Jesse?"
"Uhm. Yeah." She smiled to herself again, "You left him to be with me... It was a.. messy situation.. Our relationship, hurt a really good guy, one of your best friends, but I don't think you ever regretted it... Flash forward, we had a bit of a rough patch, but we worked it out. Uhm, you moved to Miami to work and to be with me.. You grew into this A-list celebrity music producer and I'm maybe the proudest girlfriend on the face of the planet.."
I stopped her again, still a little confused, "Okay, I get the whole acapella, I've always loved music thing. I get the whole loving you and leaving Jesse thing. I get the moving to be with you and following my dreams thing.. But I don't get this.. If we both live here and we're all 'in love' and stuff.. Then why did it take you so long to get here? And where was I even going when this accident happened? Where were you during all of this?"
I watched Chloe's expression change. It went from this normal look to.. disappointed. I started to feel a little sick, I knew something was wrong..
"Look, Beca... We- we... You and I weren't... Beca, we..."
