Won't go home without you

It's late

//I write this story with a friend\\

..........................................................................

Beca let out a deep sigh as she parked her car in their garage. She checked the time hoping that her wife would understand because she was supposed to have a dinner date with Chloe but she got caught up with work.

She took out her keys from her pocket as she made her way to the porch. She opened their front door and she was met with dead silence. First she thought Chloe was fast asleep but then she heard footsteps coming from the living room.

There, standing in front of her was Chloe who looked like she had been crying. She was wearing a flowy black dress and her hair was messy. Beca couldn't help but feel guilty.

"I'm so sorry that we had to cancel. I just got busy with work and my boss-"

"Beca, do you still want to be with me?" Chloe cut her off.

Beca felt her heart skip a beat. She wasn't expecting those words would come out from her wife. Sure, they had been having fights every now and then. Beca's time management was the main issue. But this was something new.

"Chloe, please not tonight. Emily is asleep."

"I left Emily at Aubrey's for tonight because I thought we were going to spend some time together." Chloe stated. She crossed her arms and glared at the brunette.

"Look, I'm-"

"Beca, I know what you're going to say. Please stop making your work an excuse."

Beca quirked her eyebrow and slightly rose her voice "What am I supposed to say? I'm trying my best here!"

"Your best?Beca, you missed Emily's 1st birthday party because your boss wanted you to be at HIS party!" Chloe's fists were now on her sides.

Beca let out a frustrated sigh as she ran her fingers through her hair.

"Chloe, My job was at stake there."

"Jesus Christ, I knew it! Your job is way more important than your family." Chloe shook her head and scoffed.

"That's not what I'm saying!" Beca retorted.

"You know what? Sometimes I think you regret having Emily. I'm sorry if you think I forced you to having a kid."

"Hey, when I said I wanted to start a family I meant it." Beca shot her a glare.

"Yeah? Ok. Aubrey is inviting us to her beach house this weekend. Are you coming?"

Beca wanted to say yes but then she remembered her boss told her about an important meeting this weekend. She hesitated for a moment.

"I..." She sighed and looked away from her wife's glare.

"I thought so." Chloe said in a cold voice and started walking away. She took her car keys from the coffee table in the living room and walked past Beca.

Getting worried, Beca asked "Where are you going?"

"I just need to get away from here" Chloe replied, not making eye-contact with her wife, as she opened the door.

"Chloe, please-" Beca begged as tears started to stream down her face.

"I need to be alone, Beca."

Before Beca could even speak, Chloe had already shut the door. Beca couldn't help but cry. She had messed up...again. She knew her wife just needed a drive and everything would be okay the next morning. It had been part of their "routine". They never sat down to talk about their problems. One of them would run away and usually it was Beca.

She took out a bottle of wine and sat on the couch. She thought about how to fix things with Chloe, hoping that the redhead wouldn't give up on their relationship.

....................................

It's already 1 am and there's still no sign of Chloe. Beca was starting to get worried, wondering where her wife was and why she hadn't come back yet. It had already been 2 hours since she drove away. Chloe should've been back an hour ago. With that, Beca knew something was wrong. She felt somewhat uneasy so she paced around the living room to relieve some tension.

The brunette waited for a call from Chloe, scratching the back of her neck with one hand and holding her phone with the other but she knew the redhead wouldn't call her. So she decided to call the only person Chloe could run to right now. She stopped her tracks when the person on the other line answered.

"Aubrey hi, is Chloe there?" Beca asked, trying to sound calm as possible.

"What? Chloe? Why?" Aubrey replied, confused. "I thought she was with you, you were having a date, right?"

"Yeah...Things didn't go well then she left and I can't reach her," Beca paused for a moment, "Just take care of Emily and let me know if you know anything, I'll do the same."

"Beca, wait! What happened?" Aubrey said, worried.

"I screwed up again. She just needed some time to be alone and I think she must be driving back. Otherwise she will call so we should hang up," Beca answered running her fingers through her hair.

"Yeah ok. Let me know when she's back."

As soon as Beca pressed the red button on the screen, her phone rang with an upcoming call. The number was unknown but she picked it up quickly.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Mrs. Mitchell-Beale?" A man answered. Beca didn't like the tone of his voice.

"Yes? This is her." Her voice was slightly shaking. Judging by the tone of the man's voice on the other line, something bad happened. She was just praying to God nothing bad happened to Chloe.

"I am calling from St. John's Hospital. Your wife has been admitted here, she had a car accident."

Beca stopped breathing for a moment as she let those words sink in. Her heart was racing, her hands were sweating, her legs were shaking. She covered her mouth with her free hand and tried to talk, but the man on the other side talked first. She took deep breaths as she started to cry.

"Please Mrs. Stay calm. She is unconscious but stable right now."

"I'll be there soon." Beca snapped, finally able to talk. She grabbed her car keys and stormed out.
