Hi My Sweetheart. (Girl x Girl)

chapter 16

“Why are you doing this Chloe?” Aubrey asked, concern written all over her face, “Is it because of Beca?”

“No, not at all,” Chloe replied with a smile on her face, “I just want a fresh look, you know, since I’m starting a new stage of my life.”

“Okay then..” Aubrey said, still not fully convinced, “It’s gonna take awhile for me to get used to though.”

“Bree, I’m just getting rid of my glasses and dying my hair blonde, nothing out of the ordinary.” Chloe laughed.

“Nothing out of the ordinary? Everything that you're doing currently is out of the ordinary,” Aubrey squinted her eyes and said, “Like why on earth are you coming to me for fashion advices? You usually don’t care what other people think.”

“I just figured I should try looking presentable since I’m taking over the CEO position in Chad’s company,” Chloe sighed, “It’d be a good way for me to get rid of the past as well.”

“Alright,” Aubrey said softly, she knows how badly Chloe was hurt by Beca, still not understanding why the famous Beca Mitchell would just leave without saying anything to Chloe, some things just don’t add up.

Aubrey knows Chloe, she could tell something about her best friend changed the day she fetched her at the airport. Something was missing from her eyes, something that makes Chloe, Chloe. Whether its trust, innocence or something worse, love. Aubrey can't exactly know for sure.

“Miss, are you ready?” Alex, the family stylist asked Chloe.

“Yeah, let’s get it over with.” Chloe replied.

Alex nodded and started applying hair dye on Chloe’s red hair. Staring at her own reflection in the mirror, Chloe took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself for this new look that is awaiting her.

Today is the day Chloe says goodbye to Clary Guetta, the ginger who always wears this dorky black framed glasses and has zero sense in fashion. 

Today, Chloe Beale will be reborn.

And she’ll never look back.

THREE YEARS LATER

LA

“Have you ever had your heart broken? Do you hate the person who hurt you? Because of them, it seems as if you could never bring yourself to fall for anyone else. Losing the ability to love, but have you ever thought of it this way? When you’re crying at night, hating yourself for being such a mess, they might be crying harder than you. They want to find you, and tell you face to face, even if the whole world’s against us, i still want to be with you. Red, if you hear my voice, you definitely will know who I am. I’m in LA, although I don’t know where you are right now, but I want you to know, I’ve never once stopped looking for you." the DJ paused, "Its two thirty already, it’s time for me to say goodbye bye to you until we meet tomorrow on air with more songs, story times and the answer to today’s question! But, before I go, my song pick of the day is “I won’t give up”. Love is that one thing that keeps my heart beating, I hope you, listening to this on the other side, has already found the one, don’t ever let them go. Till then, Beca signing off. Bye!” 

Ending her radio session, Beca exhaled softly and removed her headphones. She glanced up from her radio booth and saw Jesse waving at her excitedly, she rolled her eyes in response. Before leaving the booth, she turned off the devices and placed the CDs back in the shelves. 

It’s been 3 years.

Locking up the booth, Beca’s mind wandered to Clary, her bouncy ginger hair, her voice, her smile, her eyes, and her laugh. Oh my god is her laugh magical.
