Chapter 14: Merry Christmas Chloe

Beca and Chloe rushed to the hospital, worried for their best friend. As soon ad they reached the hospital they ran inside and instantly went to the front desk. "Excuse me, which room is Jesse Swanson in?" Beca asked the lady at the front desk.

"Are you close family?" The lady asked. Beca froze for only a moment.

"I'm his best friend shouldn't that be close enough?" Beca asked back.

"Unless you are family or a significant other, I can't tell you that information. I am sorry but it is the hospital policy." The lady answered with an unsympathetic tone, as if she didn't really care for the fact that Beca and Chloe's best friend was nearly beat to death. Well, not to death but still beat up badly enough that he probably had some bad injuries.

Beca stared the woman down and said, "That guy in there is my best friend, and if I don't get to make sure that he is okay, I am going to go crazy! For pity's sake just let me and my girlfriend see him for at least five minutes!" Beca begged, nearly in tears. She was genuinely worried that her best friend was hurt because of her, and she needed to see Jesse to know he was going to be okay. "Please I'm begging you. It's almost Christmas, can't you do me this one favor?" She asked, willing to get down on her knees and plead.

The lady at the front desk sighed and then typed in Jesse's name on the computer, she then saw what room he was in and wrote in down for Beca and Chloe before handing it to Chloe. "Merry Christmas," she said. "Don't tell anyone who you got that from, I'm not supposed to release patient info."

Beca took the woman's hand and kissed it. "Thank you so much." She said smiling softly before she and Chloe ran to the elevator.

"Which room is he in Becs?" Chloe asked once they were inside.

"He's in room 502." She stated. Once they got in the elevator Chloe pushed the button for the fifth floor. Beca nervously tapped her foot as she awaited the elevator's approach to the fifth floor. Chloe noticed how nervous and anxious her girlfriend was so she linked her fingers with Beca's and squeezed her hand softly before leaning over to kiss her cheek.

"He's going to be okay babe." Chloe whispered, which made Beca loosen up a little. "Just take some deep breaths." She said smiling and turning Beca head with her free hand so they were face to face and then she leaned in and caught Beca's lips in a tender kiss. Beca instantly felt her whole body lose it's tense feeling, Chloe just had that affect on Beca. Chloe knew just how to calm Beca down, she knew just how to the make the freshman laugh when she was sad or mad.

Soon the elevator door popped open at the fifth floor and the two girls walked to room 502. When they opened the door they saw Aubrey, sitting by Jesse's side as sat there talking to her.

"Jesse," Aubrey interrupted him when she saw Chloe and Beca standing there, "There are some people are here to see you."

Jesse turned and smiled when he saw Beca and Chloe at the door. "Hey guys," he said waving them over. Beca instantly rushed over and gave him a hug, before pulling back to see the damage that asshole Tom had done to Jesse. He had a black eye, and a couple bruises over his arm and his shoulder was wrapped up.

"Jesse," Beca started, "What did he do to you?" She asked him, a seriously worried look on her face.

"Well I don't really remember it happening, all I know of are what my injures are." He stated before beginning the list of things Tom had caused. "I have a minor concussion, dislocated shoulder, black eye, and a couple cracked ribs." He went on to say he had no memory of what had happened, and that's where Aubrey started to fill in.
