"Ok, will you be ok getting your prescription? I have to run and grab a few things."

"What do I say?

"Hi, I have a prescription for Chloe Beale. Easy."

"Ok. I think I can do it." Chloe took a deep breath.

"Alright. I'll be right back." Beca reassuringly squeezed her shoulder and walked away.

Chloe walked up to the counter. "H-hi. I h-have a pre-prescription for C-Chloe Beale."

The pharmacist smiled. "Ok, we'll get that for you."

Meanwhile, Beca was on the phone trying to get ahold of Nick. He finally picked up.

Uh..hey Beca.

Hey, so um Chloe hasn't seen you in like 2 months and I'm beginning to wonder what's up because usually you'd make an effort to talk to her and shes kind of upset.

She is?

Yeah, her memory came back. She remembers you, she remembers your first date. She is also adopting a little girl but you wouldn't know because you guys haven't talked in so long.

Listen, Beca, so I haven't talked to her because I moved away. I couldn't break her heart.

Where?

I'm in LA now. My job got transferred and I couldn't find a way to tell her. I was kinda waiting for her to say something.

She was worried you left her...I guess you did....

I'm sorry Beca.

Just...don't ever talk to her again. You don't deserve a girl like her. She's amazing, she's strong, she's beautiful. You don't deserve it.

Beca hung up the call and went back to Chloe. "I'll be out in a second. Can you meet me in the car?"

"Yep!" Chloe said.

Beca ran back to the candy section and got Chloe 3 Musketeers. Then she got 2 tubs of brownie batter ice cream, bacon jerky, vanilla mint lip balm, and bubble gum. She went to the checkout. The cashier smiled. "Is this for someone special?"

Beca laughed. "Well I guess. She's my best friend and her boyfriend left and he told me but not her so I have to tell her..." She trailed off.

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that." The cashier handed her the receipt. "Good luck."

Beca thanked the cashier and went to the car. She threw the bag in the backseat as the got in the car. "Ok, so we'll walk around a bit, find a place to eat, then we can walk to Magnolia."

Chloe smiled. "Let's skip cupcakes and go shopping. I want something to wear when I meet my daughter. Plus I'll be full from lunch."

"Ok!" Beca pulled into a parking garage and found a spot. She got out and helped Chloe out of the car. "So if you're gonna be ok, I wanted to walk around that candy store...Dylan's Candy Bar?"

"I don't know..." Chloe started hesitantly. "It's really crowded there..."

"It'll be ok. I'll get you some chocolate..." Beca smiled.

"Alright fine." Chloe smiled and she walked into the elevator, her hand linked with Beca's.

Beca distractedly pushed the down button. "Oh, I gotta talk to you later." She nervously played with the buckle on her purse.

"About what? Is everything ok?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah. Just let it go for now." Beca gave her a reassuring smile.
