It was always you

3.

Beca woke up that morning, a little startled at the weight on her right side before remembering the events of last night. She smiled down at the sleeping redhead before slowly removing herself from the bed and heading to the bathroom to shower.

About fifteen minutes later she emerged from the bathroom dressed and ready for the day. She laughed at the sight of Chloe sprawled out on the bed like a starfish. She had made her way onto Beca's side of the bed since the brunette had left. She smiled before leaving the room.

When she made her way downstairs she smiled at all the Bellas sitting and laughing at the table.
"Hey Bec" Stacie said as she made her way over.
"Hey guys" she said said as she sat down.
"Hey do you know where Chloe is? I went to her room this morning and she wasn't there" Emily asked.
"Yeah she ended up with me late last night. She had one of her nightmares and ended up staying with me." Beca told them, not noticing the smirks placed on her friends faces.
"She still sleeping then?" Emily asked.
"When I left yeah. Sprawled out like a starfish" Beca said with a chuckle.
"That's the Chloe way" Stacie chuckled along.
"What's the Chloe way?" Chloe asked as she emerged from the staircase.
"Sleeping sprawled out like a starfish" Beca said with a light smile.
"I do not!" Chloe protested.
"Keep telling ya self that Red, we all know you do" Stacie said smiling.
"Shut up" she grumbled before heading to the kitchen for some coffee.
Beca got up and followed her to the kitchen and at down on a stool in front of her.
"How ya feeling?" Beca asked.
"Hm?" Chloe asked as she turns with a spoon hanging out of her mouth.
"How you feeling after last night? I know sometimes you not really you after one of those." Beca says as she plays with her rings.
"Oh, I actually feel pretty good this morning, thanks Bec" Chloe says with a small smile.
"No problem Chlo" Beca says as she stands up and grabs her jacket.
"Where are you going?" Chloe asked.
"I've gotta meet Mike and talk about my life after graduation, then I've got to meet some of my professors because they want to discuss my education whatever that means. Then I'm meeting up with some friends I haven't seen for a while. I'll probably be gone all day." Beca told her and Chloe's smile faded.
"Oh okay" she said as Beca left.
"Hey Red where's shorty going?" Amy asked.
"She's got meetings and people to see" Chloe said before turning and heading up to her room.

As Beca made her way to the hotel Mike was staying at, she couldn't help think about Chloe. She doesn't know why, but Chloe hasn't left her mind since last night. As she reached Mikes door she sighed before knocking.
"Hey Bec" Mike said as he opened the door for her.
"Hey dude" she said as she walked in.
"Here's a the necklace, hope you slept alright without it." He said as he handed it to her.
"Well I didn't need it cause I had the real thing" Beca said with a slight chuckle.
"Huh?" Mike asked.
"Chloe came into my room last night after one of her night terrors. She slept with me for the rest of the night" Beca explained.
"Oh, how'd it feel sleeping with her again?" Mike asked.
"Dude you make it sound like we had sex" Beca told him.
"Did you?" He asked.
"Dude no!" Beca yelled.
"Sorry" he said putting his hands up.
"You really think I'd just sleep with her again after she broke my heart the way she did." Beca said sadly as she sat down on his bed.
"Have you guys talked about what happened yet?" He asked.
"No, I caught up with the Bellas last night and I left this morning after she woke up." She told him.
"Why'd you leave so soon? You have nothing to do today?" He asked.
"Because I might have lied and told her I have a bunch of things to do today" Beca said sheepishly.
"Beca you idiot. Just spend some damn time with the women. We all know you want to" Mike said.
"What do I do? Just show back up so soon after telling her I'd be gone all day?" She asked sarcastically.
"You just say that our meeting went quicker than you expected and that everyone else had to reschedule" he said as if it was the smartest idea in the world.
"That just sounds stupid." Beca said.
"Then tell her I told you that you needed to pack your stuff so we could ship it off to LA as soon as possible. Actually that's a good idea, go pack so we can have your stuff in LA." He said before shooing her out the door.
"Fine" she grumbled before leaving and heading back to the Bellas house.
