Call Me Crazy (A Bechloe Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

After dinner, Beca and Chloe headed out to go shopping since they had a few hours to kill before going to the club. Chloe didn't really like the mall that much, it was really crowded and crowds gave her terrible anxiety, and anxiety triggered a lot of the aspects of her schizophrenia. She was basically clung to Beca, holding her hand really tightly, and Beca knew something was up. "You ok, Chlo?"

Chloe nodded. "Yeah, it's just the crowds, it gives me anxiety."

Beca could see the fear in Chloe's eyes and hated herself for agreeing to go out. Her job was to protect Chloe, and even though she wasn't the one who came out with the idea of going out, she felt awful for agreeing to it, especially knowing how Chloe was around people she didn't know. "Hey, I'm right here," Beca said, wrapping her arm around Chloe's shoulder. "We can go home if you want."

"No, I'll be fine," Chloe replied, taking a deep breath. "I was the one who wanted to go out, so I'll push through it. I can't spend my entire life stuck inside because of my schizophrenia."

Beca smiled. "You'll be fine, just take deep breaths and remember I'm right here next to you."

"Thanks, Beca," Chloe smiled back. "We should hang out with Allie sometime too. She's so glad that I met you and to see that I'm doing better. That's all thanks to you, ya know."

"Aww Chlo that's so sweet," Beca replied. "I'm so glad I was able to help you, you're the nicest person I've ever met, and you've smiled through every challenge you've been through. I'm so glad that I met you too, Chlo!"

Chloe smiled. "You've done so much for me, thank you After the mall, they decided to go out to the club. Why they decided to take Beca's car instead of a cab, they didn't know, but Chloe was just hoping that one of them would stay sober enough to remember tonight.

Beca had already taken three shots and was on her second beer, and Chloe was still drinking her vodka and coke. She felt like the responsible one for once, which felt good. "Hey Becs, you want some water?" She asked, gently grabbing her hand.

"I'm good," Beca slurred. "You want something else? I'm going to get another shot."

"Uh Beca I think you should lay off the alcohol. Maybe get some water."

"I'm fine," Beca slurred again.

"Ok fine, just get me a beer," Chloe finally agreed. When Beca walked away, Chloe pulled out her phone and called her sister. "Hey Allie."

"Hey, where are you? It's really loud."

"Beca and I are at the club, can you come pick us up in like an hour?"

"Are you ok? Do you want me to come now? Did you take your meds?"

"We're fine Allie, relax. I just don't know how much more alcohol Beca can take and I don't feel sober enough to drive. I took my meds and I'm fine, can you just come in an hour?"

"Of course," Allie said gently. "How are you feeling."

"I'm fine, Al, I swear," Chloe sighed. Could anyone treat her normally?

"Ok, what club is it?"

"I don't know what it's called, but it's the one like five minutes away from Barden."

"Oh ok, I know where that is. Is Beca ok?"

"Yeah, I'll get her to drink some water soon," Chloe replied. "See you in a little bit."

Beca came back with a beer for Chloe and 3 more shots for herself. "Let's go dance!"

"Beca I think you should sit down for a little bit," Chloe said.

"I'm fine Chlo! Let's go dance!" Beca said, pulling Chloe up and leading her to the dance floor. "This is my favorite song!" She screamed. Drunk In Love by Beyonce was playing and Beca was clearly very excited.

Chloe smiled at the tiny brunette. "Yeah?"

"Yeah! It reminds me of you!" Beca said sweetly.

Chloe finally realized it. "Beca liked her back! But then again, maybe only drunk Beca liked her back. "That's nice," she replied distractedly.

Beca grabbed Chloe's hands and twirled her around before pulling her in for a kiss. Chloe stayed in for a second before pulling away. "Beca you're drunk, you're probably not going to remember any of this," she said sadly. "Why don't we get you some water honey?"

"Ok," Beca slurred, following Chloe to their table.

Chloe handed Beca her glass of water and helped her find the straw. "How ya feeling Becs?"

"My stomach hurts," Beca replied rubbing her eyes. "I feel like I'm gonna be sick."

"Ok sweetie we're gonna go outside and get you some fresh air," Chloe said, helping her stand up.

Beca nodded and followed Chloe outside. Chloe had been holding her her hand but grabbed hold of her waist the second Beca started stumbling. "It's ok Becs," she said softly. "Just sit down right here."

Beca sat down on the curb next to Chloe. "Why are we spinning?"

"We're not honey, it's just the alcohol," Chloe replied with a soft laugh. "Allie's gonna be here in a little bit to take us home because neither of us are in condition to drive."

"Oh," Beca replied. "Chloeeee my stomach hurts," she whined again before standing up and stumbling over to a nearby bush, emptying the contents of her stomach into it.

Chloe stood up and pulled her hair back. "It's ok honey, let it out," she said, rubbing her back. Beca finally stood up straight again and Chloe tied her hair up with the ponytail holder she had on her wrist. "Just in case you get sick again," she said.

"Thanks," Beca grumbled. "When is your sister getting here?"

"In a few minutes," Chloe replied. "How are you feeling now?"

"Better," Beca shrugged. "Everything still feels like it's spinning."

"I know," Chloe replied. "Oh here's Allie," she said, pulling Beca up and helping her walk to the car. She got Beca buckled into the back seat and climbed in the front. "Hey."

"Hey Chlo, how was it?" Allie asked.

"It was ok I guess. I was just really anxious all night," Chloe shrugged. "Is she asleep back there?"

"Yep," Allie said with a laugh. "How much did she drink?"

"A lot," Chloe said. "I lost count after awhile. I just hope she's feeling ok by tomorrow."

"She'll probably be hungover, but she should be fine," Allie said. "Here we are! Do you need help getting her inside?"

"I'm good, thanks so much Allie."

"No problem Chlo, text me tomorrow."

"I will." Chloe helped Beca out of the backseat and brought her inside. "Ok honey, we're gonna get you to bed."

Beca looked up at Chloe and pulled her in for a kiss. When she finally pulled away, she gave Chloe a soft smile. "I've been waiting to do that since the day we met."

Chloe stood, staring into space for a minute after Beca walked away. She knew Beca was drunk but she could see the sober Beca in that kiss too. Could that be how she really felt or was it just the alcohol speaking?
