Just one look

~039~

Beca's point of view:

,,So which song should I pick?" I look towards Aubrey and the girls. Chloe isn't here right now and I don't want to. Don't get me wrong, I love to be around Chloe, but now she cannot be here. Its been a year and Chloe and I are happy, well more than happy actually. We heard nothing from Tom. No threats or murder attempt. He still wants to kill me, but it's been quiet. That scares me a little bit, because he can do it every minute of the day. Last night I called Aubrey without Chloe knowing of course. I just explained everything to the girls and there happy for me. Aubrey had to think twice about my plan, but agreed with it.
,,I think Chloe love all these songs, so it doesn't mind." Aubrey say.
,,I just want her to say yes."
,,And she will. Beca, she loves you very much. She only talks about you and lets be honest, you two have sex every night. You can't doubt about her love for you anymore."
,,Yeah that's true. This has to be special, I want to surprise her."
,,Don't be so insecure short shank." Amy pulls a arm around my shoulder. ,,Chloe loves you. Everyone can see that she has a toner for you."
,,Is it true?" We turn around and see the Trebles standing there, with Jesse and Bumper at the front. They walk towards us and stop before us. ,,Are you going to ask Chloe the big question?"
,,Yeah, I am. We've been together for one year now and I can't imagine my life without her. It's worth a try right?"
,,Do you think she's going to say yes?" Bumper looks at me.
,,I don't know. I just hope she will, I have planned a lot, I don't know which song yet."
,,Song?"
,,Yeah, I want to sing a song for her and after that..."
,,Which songs do you have in mind?" Jesse looks at me.
,,A lot. Can nobody think of one song right now? It really help me right now. This needs to be perfect! She needs to say yes, otherwise I won't survive."
,,Relax Beca." Jesse put his arm on my shoulder now too. ,,Chloe loves you and she's going to say yes, I know for sure." A big smile comes on my face. If Aubrey tells me that Chloe's going to say yes, than I have faith.
,,I think you should do "Marry me" from Jason Derulo. Then you are giving her a little hint already." Stacie set a line beneath the writing. The rest of the girls just nod. So "marry me", will be the song I'm going to perform. Than I need a piano and of course the girls.
,,Are you going to stay with me?"
,,Duh, we don't want to miss this!" Amy yell.
,,Yeah she's right. You only going to propose once right?" Aubrey looks at me. I nod. I'm not planning to dump her after a year. I want to be old and gray with her. I want to sit on the porch when we are eighty and our grandkids running around. I want to hold her hand and make love to each other until I'm dead and burried.
,,Yeah." Aubrey and the girls help me setting everything up.
,,When are you going to call her and tell her she needs to be here?"
,,Now, because everything is set." I grab my phone and dial Chloe's number.

Beca, were the hell are you? It was cold when I woke up.
I'm sorry babe, I just needed to do something in the auditorium with Aubrey and the girls.
A Bella's rehearsal?
No, something different.
And you didn't need me?
Well, that's why I call you right now. Can you come to the auditorium?
Right now?
No tomorrow, ha ha of course now. I have a surprise for you.
You are not standing in lingerie right?
No, don't worry. Can you come?
Of course, I'll be there over about an half hour.
Okay, I'll see you then. I love you.
I love you too, babe.

,,She's coming!" I jump up and down and the adrenaline is going through my body right now. I'm tensed. A lot of thoughts are going through my mind. What if she's saying no because she thinks it's too early? What if she's doubting? What if Tom arrives?
,,Beca, chill! Chloe's going to love this." Aubrey grab my hand and then we are going backstage. I take my seat behind the piano and we just wait for Chloe.

Chloe's point of view:

What is Beca up to? Aubrey and Beca planning something? That can never work. Aubrey has accepted the fact that Beca and I are together, but she still doesn't like her very much. I'm happy though. Beca and I are together for a year now... well, actually more than a year, but Beca still doesn't remember the two months before the shooting. I have been thinking about a marriage, but I don't want to rush things up. Tom has seen us everyday, but he hasn't done anything to Beca and I'm so happy with that. I'm also a little bit afraid. He can do anything to Beca, at any time. Maybe he's planning something big? A kidnapping or something. Stop thinking like that! I walk into the auditorium, but I don't see anyone.
,,Beca?" I call her name, but no response. Weird, she told me to come here right? ,,Aubrey?" Still nothing. ,,Stace, Amy, Jessica... is anybody here?" Now a spotlight goes on and Jesse steps forward on the big stage. ,,Jesse, have you've seen the girls? Beca called me to come here."
,,I have seen them, but you have to sit right there." He points towards the chair Jessica just put. I do what he's asking, but I don't know why. Now all the other girls are come sit next to me, except Beca.
,,Where is Beca?" I ask Aubrey and then she's on stage, behind a piano and she starts to play.
