Bechloe - Like A Record, Baby

Chapter XVI

Chloe's POV

I'm freaking the Hell out! The girls and I are currently on a massive yacht owned by Amy's gangster father who is holding us hostage until Amy comes. If she doesn't come, we're all dead. It's taken everything in me not to cry. I'm going to die and I won't have the chance to tell Beca that I've fallen in love with her. I won't be able to marry her, buy a house with her, and start a family with her, which is what I want to do. I want everything with her but now, I don't think I'll get the chance. I haven't known Amy for long but in the time that I HAVE known her, she doesn't seem very reliable and I have no idea if she plans on coming or not and if she does, what then?

"Ten minutes, ladies!" Fergus tells us and I can't believe that he's Amy's dad - they look nothing alike and they have two totally different personailites.

"Guys, you know what we should do?" A familiar voice sounds behind me and all of us turn around to see who it is.

It's Beca! What the Hell is she doing here?

"Where did you come from?" Fergus asks.

"What?"

"You weren't here before!"

"I've been here the whole time, I'm just small..."

Everyone is silent as they all stare at Beca. I'm about ready to cry and hug her. Hug her, happy that she's here with me but also hug her because these are our final moments.

"Just..." Beca stands. "If we only have ten minutes left, I say we spend it doing something we love. So, let's go out like Bellas and sing one more song."

What? Is she nuts?

"Sing?"

"You want us to sing right now?"

"Are you serious?"

The girls bicker and I can see that Beca's getting agitated.

"I think we should sing one more song, guys," she snaps, glaring at us and I know she's got a plan. "We really think you'll like it," she tells Fergus.

"You wanna entertain me? Knock yourselves out... Nine minutes!" He turns around and goes over to his chair.

"Let's make it a loud one, guys!" Beca smiles as we stand. "You are terrible at reading signals! Come on!" She hisses and we move the furniture out of the way as we get into position and begin singing our own rendition of Toxic.

I sure hope Beca knows what she's doing...

Beca's POV

The Bellas and I are all singing our hearts out. I'm terrified, to be honest. I have no idea what Amy is doing below the deck but I just have to trust her and make as much noise as possible. I just hope to God that whatever she's doing is going to work and that we can all get out of here safe and sound. As we dance and sing, Chloe and I keep making eye contact and I can tell that she's scared. I just want to hug her and tell her that everything's going to be okay but I'll do that after we get out of here. IF we get out of here...

Now's not the time to be thinking negatively, Mitchell! You need to tell Chloe that you love her!

No. I can't put all my energy into thinking that this is going to be my last few minutes on this earth. I still have a lot to do with my life and I plan to do that with Chloe by my side. I was going to tell her that I loved her the other day but it just didn't feel right. But I'm definitely going to tell her after this. She's my world and even though we've only been dating a month and a bit, I have these strong feelings for her that just won't go away and I have to tell her how I really feel. I can't keep running from my feelings. I won't let myself and Chloe won't let me either. But I can't think about any of that right now. Right now, I have to focus on distracting Fergus and his henchmen while Amy does her thing below deck.
