Pitch Perfect One-Shots

Chapter CXXX - Bechloe: Fear

Idea by ilovetoread2019

Beca did a number of things while she slept such as leg jolting, drooling, snoring, and most recently, talking. Even though some of her sleeping habits were annoying, Chloe grew to accept them just as Beca accepted Chloe's annoying sleeping habits such as taking up the majority of the sheets or wearing socks to bed only to kick them off in the middle of the night leaving a pile of socks at the foot of the bed. But that's what being a couple is all about - accepting one another's annoyances and living with them whilst still loving each other.

However, this time Beca's sleeptalking was a little more intense than usual. The brunette began to mumble (something that Chloe learned to sleep through) but her mumbling turned into talking and that's when Chloe couldn't take it any longer.

"You've got to be kidding me..." Chloe huffed then rolled over, nudging the brunette. "Beca, would you shut up?" She growled.

"I thought I could trust you!" Beca whined.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"You would never do that - you love me! Or so I thought..."

"Beca-"

"I broke my own heart loving you..."

Chloe froze and she knew Beca wasn't sleeptalking anymore. "Beca, what are you talking about?" Chloe tried to roll Beca over but the brunette resisted.

"I thought you loved me... But you betrayed me..." She sobbed, making Chloe's heart break.

"Becs... We... We talked about this. He kissed me."

"It doesn't matter... You betrayed me..."

"Baby, no," Chloe rubbed Beca's shoulder. "Chicago came onto me, Becs. I know you thought that I was flirting with him but I wasn't. I love YOU and only YOU. I don't want anyone else's lips on mine except yours. I'm gonna marry you one day, Bec. I'm gonna marry you and have kids with you. I don't want that with anyone else."

"It just hurts a lot..."

Chloe's heart broke a little more. It had been three weeks since the Bellas went on their USO Tour where Beca got signed with DJ Khaled and was now traveling with him, beginning her new life as a music producer. It had also been three weeks since Chicago kissed Chloe. The man thought Chloe liked him because she was so friendly towards him, which many people Chloe had met in the past had mistaken her kindness for flirting.

At the end of Beca's performance, Chicago told Chloe how much he enjoyed looking after the Bellas and getting to know them. Chloe was grateful for his service and hugged him as a thank you but Chicago pulled her back and kissed her just as Beca went to find her girlfriend to celebrate. Beca filled with rage and screamed at the soldier and it took several of the Bellas to hold her back while the others persuaded Chicago to leave.

Beca felt betrayed by Chloe because she honestly thought the redhead was flirting with the marine but Chloe constantly had to reassure Beca that wasn't the case. Unfortunately, Chicago kissing her only reinforced Beca's delusions, creating a wedge between the couple - a wedge that Chloe tried so hard to mend. It had taken a while for Beca to realise that Chloe was telling the truth and Chloe told Beca that they could talk about it whenever Beca needed to since Beca was quite stubborn when it came to that sort of stuff. She just didn't think Beca wanted to talk about it at two in the morning...

"Baby..." Chloe rubbed Beca's back.

"I just want you to fight for me... That's all I want..."

"Baby, I'll always fight for you. I'll always fight for US. I love you, Bec. You deserve all the love in the world."

"You don't deserve to be loved!" Beca wailed.

Chloe sat back in shock, hurt beyond words.

"Beca..."

"No..." Beca grumbled, burying her face into her pillow.

"How could you say that to me? After everything I've done for you!"

"No!"

"Beca! What happened between me and Chicago wasn't my fault! If you can't see that then you need to open your eyes! I would never do anything to betray you! I never have and I never will and for you to say that I don't deserve to be loved after everything we've been through, that hurts so much."

"No."

"You really have some nerve, Beca Mitchell!" With tears in her eyes, Chloe turned on the bedside lamp and shoved the brunette. "You're sleeping on the couch tonight. Go!"

"No!"

"Yes! Get out of this bed, now!" Chloe shoved Beca again but this time, with a little extra force, causing the younger woman to fall off the side.

"Ow!" Beca cried out, lifting her head to look at the redhead. "What the Hell, Chlo?"

"Don't what the Hell me, Beca Mitchell! You're sleeping on the couch!"

"What? What did I do?"

"You just told me that I don't deserve to be loved!"

"W, what? I didn't say that!"

"Yes, you did! You said it just then! We were talking about Chicago!"

Beca frowned at Chloe in confusion. "Chloe... I was sleeping until you pushed me off the bed."

"Wha... No, you couldn't have been. You said that it "hurt so much" and that you wanted me to fight for you."

"Oh... I see," Beca nodded.

"What?"

"Chlo, I was in the middle of a dream where you pushed me into a cage full of spiders to overcome my fear and THAT hurt a lot. You laughed at me and I said that you didn't deserve to be loved and that you betrayed me."

Chloe sat there frozen, staring at her girlfriend who was still on the floor.

"Are you kidding me? So you were having a conversation with me in your dreams?"

"Yeah," she nodded. "I'll try not to do it again though 'cause you really forced me out that bed, girl..."

"Shit, Bec, I'm sorry, baby. Here," Chloe reached over and grabbed the brunette, pulling her back onto the bed.

"Hey," Beca placed a hand on Chloe's face when she noticed a tear roll down her cheek. "Why are you crying?"

"Sorry," she quickly wiped it away. "I really thought you were talking to me."

"I'd never say those things to you, Chlo. I don't even know why I said them in my dream."

"Well, it's not the first strange thing you've said while you were asleep."

"That's true. I'm sorry that I hurt you."

"Don't be. You didn't even realise what you were saying. It's okay."

"That Chicago stuff is behind us, babe. I'm over it. You know that, right?"

"Yeah," she nodded. "I still feel guilty."

"You didn't kiss him. I know you didn't. I know you wouldn't have done that to me."

"Never, Becs. I hate how people think I'm flirting with them just because I'm nice. I hate that about me."

"Well, I don't. There's nothing about you to hate. Except for your sock thing. That's quite annoying."

"I'm getting better!"

"Only because I tell you not to wear socks to bed or if you're going to take them off, put them on the floor."

"You still love me though."

"It's touch and go sometimes, it really is."

Chloe simply giggled at her girlfriend, pulling her under the sheets and snuggling with her.

"Love you, my cute, little music producer," said Chloe, pecking Beca's cheek. "So proud of you."

"Love you more, dude and thanks. I couldn't have done it without you." Beca kissed Chloe's head and closed her eyes, drifting back to sleep now dreaming of Chloe and their future.
