It was midnight and Chloe still wasn't asleep. She was avoiding nightmares but the voices were getting worse and worse. After 10 more minutes of laying there hopelessly, she finally decided to call someone for help. "Beca?" She asked when she heard someone pick up she really hoped Beca wasn't annoyed it was so late.
"Hey Chlo," Beca said groggily. "What's up?" Beca was trying her best to make it seem like she hadn't been asleep. She knew Chloe would feel bad if she woke her up.
"I'm so sorry it's so late, Becs, I'm hearing voices and they won't go away. I just needed to hear your voice." Chloe nervously paced around the room as she talked to the brunette. "I hope you're not mad."
"No, of course not, Chlo, I told you to call anytime you needed, day or night." Beca smiled at how cute Chloe's voice sounded through the phone. "Do you need me to come over?" Beca asked, secretly hoping Chloe would say yes. She finally came to terms with the fact that she might have a small crush on Chloe, she just couldn't admit that because of her contract, which stated that there could be no personal relationships with patients. "I wouldn't mind if you need it."
"I'll be ok, I just needed to hear your voice, hearing a voice other than the voices in my head is so much easier." Chloe paused, thinking of how terrified she was to fall asleep. "Can you maybe come-never mind Becs, I'll be alright." She didn't want to risk losing Beca as her therapist. She knew Beca couldn't break the rules of no personal relationships with patients, but something was different about Beca, and she really liked her. She wouldn't say it was on the "crush" level just yet, but Beca was the first person outside of Chloe's family that the redhead was truly comfortable with. And it had only been 2 days. Surely Beca and her would grow even closer for the next month Chloe was in the mental health facility. Chloe was just concerned at how close they could get before their relationship got a little bit awkward.
"I can come if you need it, Chlo, I'm just not sure they'll allow it." Beca got out of bed, preparing to go over and help Chloe, even though they probably wouldn't allow her.
"It's alright Becs, I just have to figure it out," Chloe took a shaky but brace breath, expecting Beca to argue with her and come anyway.
"Ok Chlo, hey, try to listen to some music to drown out the voices. I'll be over in the morning, ok?" Beca realized Chloe wasn't going to let her come out of embarrassment. She knew Chloe was embarrassed by her condition and didn't want to draw any more attention to herself than she already did.
"Thanks Beca, I'll see you in the morning." Chloe put her headphones on and blasted her music really loud, hoping it would relax her brain enough to get some sleep. She slowly began to doze off, and to her, it was the best feeling in the world. She wasn't afraid anymore and she was so happy to get some sleep for the first time in weeks.
********************************
Chloe woke up the next morning, finally refreshed from a good night sleep. After eating some breakfast, she showered and put on the nicest clothes she had, hoping to impress Beca. The first time they had met, Beca had been wearing a beautiful blue sundress and Chloe had been wearing sweatpants, a t-shirt, and no makeup. Chloe wanted to make a good impression on Beca. She wanted her to think of her as a person, not just a patient. Little did she know, Beca had already thought that the day they met, and maybe that's what was so different and amazing about Beca. A few minutes later she heard a knock at her door and got up to answer it. "Hey Chlo!" Beca said excitedly. "How did you sleep?" Beca was so excited to see Chloe since she wasn't able to come over the night before.
"Really well actually, thanks so much for talking to me last night, it really helped." Chloe looked into Beca's midnight blue eyes and saw so much excitement and joy in them. She smiled brightly at the tiny brunette standing in front of her.
"Anything to help you out Chlo," Beca replied with a smile. She looked at the beautiful blonde and noticed how cute her outfit was. "You look so pretty today, I love your dress." Chloe was wearing a dark pink skater dress and her hair was pulled into a bun.
"Thanks so much, you do too!" Chloe replied to the brunette. "What lipstick do you use? The one I use sucks, and I need to get a new one. Reds not my color but I love pink shades." Beca's makeup was seriously gorgeous, especially her bright red lipstick.
"Oh I got it at Mac, thank you! I can definitely get you one sometime! They're super expensive but they work really well and last a long time. Yours still looks really pretty though where is yours from?" Beca asked. Chloe was wearing a deep pink lipstick that looked really pretty on her, even if it didn't work that well.
"Oh CVS I think," Chloe replied with a light laugh. "It was like $5 but I liked the color. It gets everywhere though." She paused awkwardly, hoping Beca would say something, but she didn't. Chloe hated awkward conversations; they made her more anxious than she already was. "Ummm thanks so much for being there and caring so much, you're the first person who has ever done that since I got diagnosed and it means a lot. I really appreciated it last night when I called you, you actually helped me be able to sleep last night and that meant a lot." Chloe gave a small smile to Beca, who had the biggest smile on her face.
"You're so welcome Chlo! I'm so happy I was able to meet and get to know you because you inspire me and you've taught me so much in the 3 days I have known you." Beca smiled and hesitantly asked Chloe another question. "I know you're not very comfortable with me yet, but would it be ok if I gave you a hug?"
"Of course Becs," Chloe replied with a smile, embracing the small girl and thinking about how great it was to have Beca in her life.
