Bechloe - Into The Light

Chapter XXIX

Chloe immediately called Stacie and Aubrey back to the house where they all took the artist to the hospital. Beca was rushed into the E.R where she was set up on a bed and given multiple tests. Chloe was terrified and she began to blame herself but Stacie and Aubrey were the first ones to tell Chloe that it wasn't her fault. They comforted Chloe the entire time they were at the hospital, which was a few hours since Beca was still unconscious.

"I can't lose her," Chloe sobbed. "I just can't. I know I said that I wanted a break but I can't lose her forever. I'll never forgive myself if she dies..."

"Oh, Chlo..." Stacie hugged the woman. "It won't be like that, okay? She's stable at the moment so that's what we need to focus on. This isn't your fault, alright? None of it. Beca made her choice last night and it's nobody's fault that she's sick."

"I told her to go to the Goddamn doctor! I should have taken her."

"You weren't to know. She hid it from us."

"I had no idea she was coughing blood... Why didn't she tell me?"

"Knowing Beca, she probably didn't want you to worry."

"And she's stubborn," Aubrey added.

"That, too."

"I don't know what to do, guys. I can't lose Beca. She's my everything and I can't raise this baby without her." Chloe pulled away from the model and wiped her eyes.

"Let's just see what the doctor has to say, okay? Let's not go to the extreme. It doesn't do us any good."

"Okay," Chloe nodded then sat next to Beca and took her hand. "You're alright, baby... I'm right here."

"Mm..." Beca began to stir.

"Bec?" Chloe's eyes lit up.

"Mm... Chloe..." She mumbled with a frown.

"Yes, it's me, baby. I'm right here."

Beca groaned and began to move.

"No, no, no, don't move, Becs. Just lay still."

Beca ever so slowly began to blink her eyes open and was met by bright hospital lights that made her head hurt more than it was already hurting.

"I'll get the doctor," Stacie announced then left.

"What the Hell happened?" Beca asked.

"You passed out, baby," Chloe explained. "You began coughing heaps then you passed out."

"Oh..."

"You coughed up blood, Becs... Do you have something to tell me?"

Beca sighed and rubbed her eyes. "I've been coughing up blood for a few months. It's been on and off but recently it's gotten worse."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you to worry."

"Beca," Chloe tutted. "You're such an idiot."

"Mm,"

"You could be really sick, Becs."

"Are you mad at me?"

"Yes, I'm mad and I'm worried sick."

"I'm sorry..." Beca looked around the room and saw that she was in a hospital. "How did I get here?"

"I drove you here with Stacie and Aubrey."

"Oh..." Beca turned her head and looked at her wife. "You're still with me."
