Chapter XXXIX - Bechloe: Wake Up, My Love... Or Don't (Part 2)

Chloe got to the recording studio and couldn't help but overhear a conversation Beca was having with Theo. Chloe was never one to eavesdrop but this was different. Theo was talking to Beca about moving Washington D.C to establish a new music studio there. Beca was all for the idea and Chloe's heart broke. Beca was going to move to the other side of the county and the plan was already in motion and Beca didn't tell her. Chloe listened to them talk about it for a little while longer until Beca walked out of Theo's office and bumped into Chloe.

"Oh, Chloe," Beca said, surprised. "You're here. Are you ready to get to work? It won't take long."

"When were you going to tell me that you were going to move to D.C?"

Beca's face fell. "I was but... Chicago woke up. You've chosen him."

"Beca, we haven't even talked about us for me to come to that decision and you have to remember that Chicago and I have been together for years. I've only known you for a few weeks."

"I know but you can't tell me that there's not something between us. I mean, we were about to kiss earlier," she whispered the last part.

"I know we were, which was why I said that we'd come back to it."

"What's there to come back to? He's awake and you're going to be with him. I was stupid to think that I could have you."

"Beca,"

"I'm sorry... I... It doesn't matter. Come on, let's quickly fix the song so you can go back to him."

"He knows that I've got feelings for you."

"What?" Beca frowned.

"When I visited him... I spoke about you a lot and... well, he could tell that I had feelings for you."

"But... he was in a coma..."

"I know and that's what makes it super creepy but if he could tell that I had feelings for you then... there IS something between us."

"But you love him. You said to me that you saw a future with him."

"I do but I... I've developed feelings for you, Beca, and you've developed feelings for me, too."

Beca looked down briefly before Chloe put her hand under the artist's chin and make her look up again.

"I want to talk about it. I've never felt this strongly towards anyone before. It took me ages to feel the way I do now about Chicago but I feel the feelings I have for you are just as intense as the feelings I have for him and I've only known you a few weeks!"

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"

"It's supposed to make you think and think that I'm not just going to choose in the blink of an eye."

"Well, you might have to because I'm going to D.C in a week. As soon as this album is all ready to go, I'm gone and I don't know when I'll be back."

Chloe dropped her hand from Beca's face, trying not to feel hurt by her curt words.

"You're going so soon?" Chloe uttered.

"Yes. So if you want to be with me then you have to make that decision because I can't wait around for you. I don't have time to wait around for anyone. Speaking of waiting around, let's fix this song. I'm a busy woman."

Beca walked down the hall, giving Chloe no choice but to follow her and let's just say that the next half an hour of working together wasn't pleasant.

"Beca, you don't have to do this," Chloe said as she and Beca were walking through the hospital to Chicago's room.

"I do. I want to let Chicago know that he doesn't need to worry about me."
