.Beca's point of view.
I am so lucky to have Chloe as my best friend. She's an amazing singer and have been here for me this whole time. It wasn't easy for her when I was lying in that coma, but the way she handle everything is just amazing. Every time I feel weak about my stutter, she makes sure she's comforting me. I put on the outfit of the Bella's. It's the first time I will be there, but I'm not going to sing. The Bella's are here just for a couple of days, Chloe and I have to stay here longer. I think it's just a catch up. The Bella's have to go back the end of the week, but I'm glad I can see them. I hope that they don't want me to sing, because I will decline. I open the door and go back into the bedroom. Chloe sleeps here every night to cuddle with me and I love it!
,,Chlo, d-do you think..." I stop talking as I see Chloe standing in the room with only her underwear. She doesn't care I can see her stunned body, she just smiles.
,,You like what you see?" She laughs when I put my hands on my cheeks, to stop the blushing. ,,Aw, you're blushing."
,,Shut up!" But she's right. My cheeks are burning.
,,Excited for the catch up?"
,,No." I snap out of my thoughts. ,,I'm not g-going to sing."
,,So you're just gonna sit and look pretty?"
,,W-what's w-wrong w-with that?" I asks, totally ignoring the fact that she thinks I'm pretty.
,,Becs, I know you're insecure about singing, but you don't need to push away the thing you love most."
,,I'm still w-writing songs, b-but w-with this stutter I d-don't w-want to sing."
,,Why not? What are you afraid of?"
,,People w-will laugh at m-me and I d-don't w-want to b-be b-bullied again!"
,,Nobody's going to laugh, I won't let them. Beca, you have no clue how good you are. How sweet your voice is, how great you've been with words. Your lyrics are way more intense than other songs. I know for sure that big artists want to collaborate. Bruno Mars, One Direction, Fifth Harmony, Shawn Mendes... please don't be so insecure, leave that to me." Wow, that's a speech and it takes time for me to think about it, so in the meantime Chloe changes in my favorite outfit.
,,First of all, you look g-great."
,,Thanks, you're sweet."
,,And you're b-beautiful." Her eyes find mine and now I can see how close we are. My cheeks are burning again and quickly I take a step back. ,,Second, thank you for the pep talk and I know you m-mean everything, b-but I can't help I'm afraid. P-please, give m-me time. I promise that if I feel angry, sad or hurt, I'll tell you."
,,Good to hear and I'll give you time. It's your decision and whatever you decide, I will always be here for you. I believe in you, Becs." I put my arms around her waist and give her a hug.
,,Thanks for b-believing in m-me. That m-means a lot especially coming from you."
,,Glad I could help, but we need to go otherwise Aubrey will kill us." I go out of the hug, laughing.
,,I'm stronger than Aubrey, so I think it's the other w-way around."
,,Come on." Chloe grabs my hand and pull me with her. ,,We need to go now, before we are having a fight. And I need to tell all of you something really important." Before I can ask, we are on our way.
The day goes by faster than I thought. Before I know it, Chloe and I are back in our apartment again. Everyone was so understanding towards Chloe, when she told us about her nodes. I saw that she waited until I asked what, but I wanted to talk to her in person, so I didn't say anything.
,,Are you mad at me?" Chloe asks while slipping her hand into mine.
,,No, d-don't think that." She link our fingers as we walk into the bedroom, to lay on the bed. I put my phone on the small table and see Chloe smile at me, while she's sitting on the bed. She put some pillows against the head of the bed and lay against it.
,,So I have nodes." Chloe says again.
,,That really sucks Chlo." I walk to the bed and lay next to her.
,,Yeah, but I think I'm going to be fine, as long as I have you." Chloe smile and I want to reach up and brush my fingers across her lips. I want to turn the sad smile into one of happiness. I run my hands through her silky hair, when she lays next to me.
,,Has anyone ever told you that your hair is amazing?" I say it before I realize it. Chloe wrap her arm around my calf and give it a squeeze. I know it was just an understanding gesture, but that little squeeze makes me squirm.
,,Has anyone ever told you that you have cute lips?" Chloe says as she run her finger over my lip over my chin.
,,Only you, Chlo." Chloe's feet brush against my leg. Holy shit, that's cold! I shiver and that's when my head explode. Chloe cuddle closer to me, mumble a soft "sorry Becs", as she smug into my chest. I lay down, with Chloe in my arms and put the blanket on top of us.
,,Night, cold feet." I smile down, running my hands through her silky hair once more.
,,Night, human furnace." She says in nothing more than a whisper. I feel a warm gentle kiss being placed on my collarbone and immediately I get burning hot. I long for the touch of Chloe's frozen feet so sear my skin, to reassure me that I am still alive and breathing. But all I can do in this situation is smile and that's what I'm doing right now. I'm smiling like an idiot, wrapping my arms around her and place a gentle kiss on top of her hair.
