Beca's Choice

Amendments

(Listeen to Runnin home to you by Grant Gustin when you get to the part)

It was Monday, and Chloe was both nervous and looking forward to school. She knew she had to confront Beca about it, but she had no idea what she was going to say, or how Beca was feeling. Did Beca want the break up to be permanent? Chloe reached for her phone and pulls it out.

Chloe:
Hey. I am wanting to talk to Beca, but I don't know how she feels about it all. Any advice?

Chloe sighs as she places her phone on the desk, running her hands through her hair, slightly damp from her shower earlier. Her phone then buzzes, and she instantly reaches for it.

Emily:
Me and Beca talked, she wants to forgive you but she wants you to prove you are serious. But you didn't hear this from me, makes it sound better if you did it yourself :P

Chloe found herself smiling at the text. Emily had helped her, even after Chloe accused of trying to sabotage her and Beca. She knew she didn't deserve Emily's help, and would find a way to thank her in some way for helping. Chloe places the phone on her desk as her mind runs through all the different ways to prove to Beca she was serious. Which was hard, she had very little experience with romantic gestures. Or romance at all, but everything came so naturally with Beca, so she barely had to think about it. Then it dawned on her. Something she knew would prove she was serious. Something the two shared a connection over. Which would consist of two parts. Both scared the crap out or Chloe, but not more than losing Beca. She reached for her phone and messaged someone, then smiled at the reply.

Chloe had found Jesse stood by the music room, his guitar in his hand, smiling at Chloe. "Nervous?" He asks, to which she nods quickly. "Terrified" she tells him, recieving a quick chuckle. "But I'm more scared of losing Beca" she admits. Jesse's chuckle turns to a fond smile. "You really do love her, don't you?" He asks, and she nods. "I do. And Aubrey loves you. She regrets even dancing with him, by the way. She knows you saw, Amy told her. And she feels terrible" she says, Jesse lightly chuckles. "I'll talk to her after this" he promises. She squeezes his shoulder gently as the two head off through the school.

Emily's phone goes off, and she reaches for it almost instantly, grinning at her phone as she quickly glances over at Beca. "Never seen you pick your phone up so quick. Well apart from me" Beca comments with a smirk. "It was just Jesse" she says, Aubrey tensing up slightly from his name. Beca looked at Aubrey. Jesse had told Beca what he saw, and she could tell Aubrey felt awful. She was much more... less Aubrey. Less outgoing, more closed off. more quiet. Beca catches her eyes, and gives her a quick smile, Aubrey returns the smile but it was light and fake. Before Beca can say anything, the doors slam open behind her, causing her to jerk around to see. Chloe and Jesse stood there. Chloe looked like she was going to throw up from nervousness, while Jesse was smirking away at Beca. Beca notices Jesse's guitar as her eyes raise in shock. was this what she think it is? Chloe struts towards the front, with as much confidence she could muster. Which, in fairness, still did not outweigh how nervous she was. She walks past Beca, keeping her eyes off the brunette. She reaches the front of the canteen and spins on her heel. Everyone stares at her. Her eyes scan the crowd, as they look at her with confusion. It was completely silent. "So... I'm Chloe. you probably all know that. But what you probably did not know about me is..." She trails off, feeling her courage seep out of her, but she catches Beca's eyes. Beca's eyes filled her with confidence, as she did not look at Chloe with anger. But with encouragement. Beca smiles at Chloe, knowing what she was doing. Right now, this was not about Beca, nor what happened to them. This was about Chloe. Beca gives Chloe a quick nod. "The thing you do not know about me is.... That I am Gay." She announces. Hushed voices waved through the canteen, but Chloe did not care for them. But for her friends, who she looked over at. They were smiling at Chloe, full of proudness. Then her gaze fixes on Beca, and her smile softens at Beca. "Ready?" Jesse says softly to her. She takes a deep breath.
