Falling In Love

Choose okay?

Beca's POV

It's the next day and I go to my locker. "Hey! I got your voicemail and congrats! Sorry I've been busy" she says. "Yeah! So busy, but you have time to suck on my brothers face" I glare at her and slam my locker. "Wanna explain?" I ask. "Beca, it was a one time thing and it just happened. I mean he is hot" Chloe smiles a bit. "Listen, I have a sister who I need to take care of and I have a lot of shit to do. So I don't wanna play your stupid fucking games Chloe. You made me believe that you liked me. Can't believe I'm saying this, but it's me or my brother" I cringe at the end of that and walk off.

I sit outside to eat my lunch and someone slams there lunch on my table. "Are you out of your fucking mind?" James asks. "Huh?" I ask. "I told you to let her choose not to fucking yell at her! She just came to me crying" he says. "Okay" I shrug. "I don't wanna play games. I have shit to do and someone who actually needs me" I say. "What shit do you have to do? You're always saying that but I think you're all talk" he says. "I can't-" he cuts me off. "I'm your brother you can trust me" he says. "Can I? Because you are stealing the one girl who I'm falling in love with" I say and walk off.

Finally the end of the day. I go to my locker and put my stuff in my locker. "Wanna actually talk and not have an outburst on me?" Chloe asks. "Well could you blame me? I mean you ignore me for a month and then fuck my brother so" I say and throw the bag over my one shoulder. "We have Bellas rehearsal and then I go home because I have to help Dylan with her math" I say. "Jeez can you leave the kid alone to do it herself?" she asks. "You don't understand" I say. "What don't I understand?! What I understand is you're an overprotective sister of a 15 year old!" Chloe nearly yells. "The reason I'm like this is because what i said I'd tell you another day. I'll tell you now. Ever since our biological mom died she went mute. I was fucking scared out of my mind because my sister never talked. Then my dad met the stepmother and next thing you know they abused her. Physically and mentally. They did it to all three of us, but mostly her. Now she has struggles and well James is now mainly worried about fucking you and football that I always make sure shes okay. So no you don't understand" I say and walk off to the gym for rehearsal.

Chloe's POV

After rehearsal I go to see James. "Hey" he smiles. "Hey" I smile and hug him. "You still coming for dinner tonight?" He asks and I nod. "Can we talk?" I ask and he nods. "So what's up?" He asks. "I talked to Beca today and she told me your guys past" I say. He sighs and runs his hand through his black hair. "Sounds rough" I chuckle. "A bit" he smirks.

We talk and then go to his house for dinner. We walk in and I look over to the dining table. "Sorry it isn't set yet" The lady says. "The kids are doing homework" she adds. "Okay go get ready for dinner!" The other lady says and Dylan and this other kid leave the table. The two ladies introduce themselves as Anna and Macy.

I help them set up the table and then we sit. "Someone get Beca from her room for dinner please" Macy says. "Got it!" Dylan says and rushes upstairs.

Couple minutes go by and she comes downstairs. "Sorry I was working on a...mix" she says as her eyes catch mine. "I didn't know we had a guest" she says and sits down at the other end. "Yeah your brother wanted to bring his girlfriend over" Anna says and I notice Beca looks more hurt. "Oh how nice" she mutters.

Everyone talks and ask questions about me and James. "When did you guys make it official?" Beca asks and glares at me. "Yesterday actually" James smiles. "Can I be excused back to my room please?" Beca says. "Yeah you alright babygirl?" Anna asks her. "Yeah I just feel sick" she says and gets up then goes upstairs. After a couple minutes I excuse myself to the bathroom upstairs.

I find her room and open the door. "Longer than I expected" she says as she sits at her desk. "Shut up" I say. "You made it official" she says with her voice breaking. "He did! Not me" I defend. "Why did you choose him?" She asks. "Because, because I'm scared okay? My last relationship had no meaning and it was a fling!" I say. "And I think that I actually love you" I say.
