Blue Friday

Bad Idea

"This is where it starts and you know how it ends but still..."

Chloe wakes up with Matt's arms around her waist. Her alarm hasn't gone off yet but there's sunlight softly streaming into her window. She likes these moments the most because it's calm and it gives you time to relax in this undisturbed atmosphere. It also makes room for her thoughts to run.

Last Friday, she and Matt made up.

The flowers he gave her are now sitting perfectly in a vase are a reminder of the promise to give what they have another shot. They've talked about it but there's still more to let out. Feelings that needed to be shared and issues that needed to be brought to light. But then Matt had work to get to so they've planned to spend a day without any distractions to make this talk happen.

For now, it's okay.

They're okay.

It's not great but nothing's perfect after all.

Her thoughts linger until they bring her to dark stormy blues. She smiles at the thought even though those very eyes are tainted with sadness. The sadness that now Chloe knows the reason of.

Loving someone that much even after the amount of pain they've given you, it's something Chloe thinks about. She's had painful break-ups where the amount of time needed for her heart to heal varies but none of them lasted for a year. Then again, she's never been at that point of almost marrying the person before the break-up.

She wonders what that's like. To still feel that much pain for a year over someone who has completely messed you up. Beca may have recently started talking about it but Chloe could still see it. It's almost as if it all just happened yesterday.

It angers her because CR's words keep repeating in her head.

"...we really wished that you should've started working for Beca years ago because we're pretty sure that you'd get along better with her"

To hurt someone to the point of massively changing who they are, that's just unacceptable.

And that is why Chloe decides that being friends with Beca Mitchell is going to be her main goal for this year. People might call her crazy but with what she's seen so far, her instincts are right—just like it always has about someone's personality. Besides, Chloe has always been known to fiercely protect her friends and would do anything for them.

Maybe through this friendship, the tiny brunette would start smiling more.

A smile makes a person glow into their best self and Beca certainly looks very pretty when she smiles.

Also, Beca wouldn't be so sad and lonely anymore. Because she'd have her. Chloe would be there.

She gets up with this in mind. That, and getting Paris Blake for their music fest.

It's a piece of cake.
 

"Good morning!" she greets with much more enthusiasm than usual as soon as Beca promptly steps out of the elevator at the exact minute she always does every single day.

However, this enthusiastic greeting might be a little bit too much for the overall producer of live events as Beca's chest leaps up, a hand coming up to her heart.

"God! I haven't even had caffeine in my system yet, Beale," Beca mutters, chest heaving as she eyes her with that familiar look of annoyance—it'll change, she believes that.

"Sorry," she smiles apologetically before handing a cup of coffee towards the brunette before proceeding with an explanation.

"The barista has a crush on me and gave me an extra," she says smoothly despite it being a lie.
