Crushed it!

• Chapter 4

I walked into the auditorium with a humongous smile on my face. since English auth. with Chloe earlier today I had been in the best of moods. As I looked around the room I saw I was the only one here so far. I must be early. I shot Chloe a message asking where she was. "I'm right here!" I heard someone call from behind me. I spun around on my toes and saw a smiling redhead sitting on the piano bench. she gave me a warm smile and motioned for me to come up and sit next to her. I walked up to her and hugged her from behind before sitting next to her. I watched as Chloe ran her fingers over each of the keys delicately. She started playing random notes, and she looked miserable. "Can you play?" I asked softly. Chloe looked up at me for a second then back to her fingers gliding on the black and white rectangles and shook her head. I repositioned myself so I was facing her. I studied her face carefully, and my heart broke at the sight. she looked so upset. I slowly wrapped my hands around her and spun her to face me, however she kept her head down refusing to look at me. I let go of one of her hands and lifted her chin gently. Tears were slowly rolling down her rosy cheeks, so I quickly wiped them away with the pad of my thumb. "Chlo, you are amazing. You are the strongest person I have ever met. You know, when I first met you, I was so entranced by your eyes, that I can't even remember what I said to you. Our little moment in the shower was awesome, like you know how confident you are? it's amazing red! if we're being completely honest right now, you are my idol. I mean, you are so amazing, and I am so lucky to have you in my life. if you're not ready to tell me what's wrong I get it, but I promise we will get through everything together. I love you Chlo." I turned to face the piano and started playing chords. Eventually I found a melody, and started singing the lyrics to the song;

God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts

I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry those

Hard faced Queens of misadventure

God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes

Fiery throngs of muted angels

Giving love and getting nothing back

People help the people

And if you're homesick

Give me your hand and I'll hold it

People help the people

Nothing will drag you down

Oh and if I had a brain

Oh and if I had a brain

I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool

That turned, all those good hearts away

God knows what is hiding, in this world of little consequence

Behind the tears, inside the lies

A thousand slowly dying sunsets

God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts

I guess the loneliness came knocking

No one needs to be alone, oh save me

As the song came to a finish, I turned around to see she was crying again, and the tears were coming out faster. I wiped them away once again, and calmed her down. I kissed her forehead and pulled her in for a warm hug letting her cry into my shoulder. There were a chorus of 'Awws' behind us, and I turned to see all the Bella's standing there smiling. I let go of Chloe, and stood up. "Come on, practise was supposed to start 10 minutes ago," I said bluntly.

Rehearsals had been going for about 45 minute now and we had been doing the simple dance moves. I was struggling with the window looking one, so Chloe offered to help me. We went to the side of the room and I showed her how I was doing it, and apparently it was all wrong. Chloe came up behind me and put her hands on mine to show me how to do it. I could feel her breath on the back of my neck, and I could hear that she was still sniffling. I had finally got the move right, so I spun around and gave her a ginormous hug. She started crying again, and I thought I had done something wrong, so I let go, muttered a quick sorry and walked out of the auditorium.

Now it was my turn to cry. Salty tear drops rolled down my cheeks, burning my skin as they went. my vision was going blurry, so I sat against the big oak tree in front of me. Great, I've ruined the best friendship I've ever had, I screwed up my best friend's life, and I can't do anything right! I'm a waste of space. The tears kept coming, and it now seemed that my eyes were waterfalls. It felt like hours had passed when my phone started to vibrate. I look down at it to see I was getting a call from; my favourite redhead xx. I started to cry even more, but of course I answered it.

Chloe: "Oh my god Beca! Where are you?! I went to your dorm, and to the showers and to my dorm, and I can't find you anywhere!"

Beca: "I'm sitting under the big oak tree next to the science block..." with sadness evident in my voice.

Chloe: "Ok! oh and Becs..."

Beca: "Yes?"

Chloe: "I love you so so sooooo much. You don't understand how much you mean to me, and you have so pretty amazing hugs."

Beca: "Thanks."

Chloe: "I'm serious Becs, by the way, may I please have a hug?"

I heard beeps meaning she had ended the call. I looked down at my confused as of what she meant. I felt a tap on my shoulder, so I stood up and turned around and was then pulled into a massive hug. I recognised the sweet strawberry smell, and hugged back immediately. "Chlo, I'm so sorry!" "Uhmm... what for Becs?" what? I'm so confused. "For making you cry earlier. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry. I get it if you want me to leave. I'll see you later I guess. bye." "Rebecca Mitchell! don't you dare leave me. You said we would get through everything together. That means that we'll get through your amazing DJ skills together, and you'll become a major producer. It also means that you and I will get through arguments, love, hate, life problems, and everything else that goes on. I'm only telling you this because of how much you mean to me.. Becs.. my dad passed away yesterday morning. He had stage 3 kidney cancer, but he was expected to have a few more months to live." Oh my god.. how am I supposed to help Chloe? I'm not good with this stuff. "Chlo. You are amazing! being able to hold it in this long, you are truly amazing. Come here." She walked into my arms and I wrapped them around her tightly. She snuggled into my neck and I continued to talk. "Chlo bear.. you are the most incredible person I have ever met. You inspire me so much. Red?" I heard her sniffling. "Yes?" "I love you so much you know? I'm so glad you're in my life. C'mon, lets go back to my room and watch your favourite movie and snuggle." Chloe is amazing, what would I do without her?
