Beca got to the park and there was no sign of Chloe. She was worried about her ginger girlfriend. She's never known her to cry on the phone. She just went to sit on the swings when she saw a figure in the dark with long hair. She knew it was Chloe straight away so walked up to her and gave her a hug. Chloe gave her a hug back and kissed her cheek.
''Chlo, please tell me what's wrong, you're not like this"
"Are you really ready for this? Just promise me one thing though"
"Yes, I am babe, i'm worried and anything, i've promised since we first met that you can tell me anything''
"If you can't deal with what i'm about to say, don't say anything, just walk away..."
"I could never walk away from you, just take your time, come on, we'll sit down"
Beca took Chloe's hand and they say by their usual tree and just talked. Chloe knew Beca knew a bit, things about her mother, her dad, her dad's anniversary of his death and a bit about alcohol. The only things she didn't know was what was going through her girlfriend's head, the cutting, more alcohol and the drugs. Chloe blurted everything out and Beca. Beca just sat there with tears and didn't say anything. She was scared by what Chloe would do, she didn't want to loose her. Chloe was crying and was a mess.
They were out and talking deeply for about an hour. Beca needed to ask her this question.
"How long's this been going on for?"
"Over a month..."
"Why didn't you say anything sooner?"
"I was scared, I didn't want to freak you out, I wanted to protect you"
"Don't be scared to tell me things baby, I honestly wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that you're doing this to yourself and I didn't know"
Beca wrapped her left arm around her girlfriend and carefully pulled her into her shoulder. She kissed her forehead.
"I promise you Chloe that i'm going to help you through this, it's me and you against the world, ok? I'm never going to leave you"
"Becs-"
"Just hear me out gorgeous"
"Whenever you feel low, I don't care what time it is, you text/call/come see me ok? I want to save you from this"
Chloe couldn't say anything, she's never known anyone to be this caring about her. She just nodded.
"I love you Becs, I really do and thank you"
"I love you too Chlo, don't ever forget that and you don't need to thank me, I couldn't live with myself knowing that you're doing this to yourself"
It was around half 9 and they were heading back to Chloe's dorm.
"I'll see you tommorrow morning ok?"
"Yeah, see you in the morning"
Beca kissed her girlfriend on the lips and then went to her dorm.
