A/N: Sorry this was so late. All kinds of crap kept getting in the way. But anyway, here's the much awaited chapter. Enjoy!

The next couple of days were a incredibly anxious time for the web slinger. They went by as slowly as they possibly could have, seeming to drag on and on. She hasn't heard back from Chloe since leaving her that voicemail. In all honesty, she wasn't sure whether or not she should expect to either. Sure, Chloe may want to wait until she returns to speak with her, but not knowing if she would or not was nerve-shredding. She could be having second thoughts or changed her mind. Maybe she wasn't ready to face Beca yet. And Beca still wasn't sure if she was ready to tell her everything.

Ok, she just needed to get a grip and be patient, which was easier said than done. Not knowing when exactly Chloe would turn up, if she would turn up, was just getting to her. Usually, going around patrolling as Spider-Woman made for a great distraction. But since Chloe could turn up at any minute or any second, Beca tried to do as little patrolling as she could. She went out when it seemed like she was most needed of course. But for the most part, she tried to stay and wait patiently for the ginger. She mostly stayed in her room, keeping herself occupied with mixing songs, watching stuff or playing around on her phone. She also kept her door unlocked at all times in case she wasn't there and Chloe arrived and decided to wait. Or even, just so Chloe could come on in at any time whatsoever. Waiting was always the hard part, and it sucked beyond what words can describe for Beca. But knowing what his best friend was waiting for, Jesse was, thankfully, kind enough to check in on her every once in a while.

Hey hero! How u holding up?

Beca read the text with a small smile before replying.

Holding...barely! Still nothing yet
Don't mean to sound impatient and I know I'm going to but I REALLY wish she would get here already!

Ur impatience is justified lol but don't worry she'll turn up. I know she will.

Idk Jess, what if she isn't ready? What if I'M not ready?

Just wait til she gets there, sit down with her, and go from there. I promise you'll both know by then ;-)

I hope ur right Jess
This is just taking forever

It usually does but tends to be worth it in the end. Try not to think so much

Ha! Hilarious!

I'm serious tho
Thinking too much never accomplished anything

So I've heard
But easier said than done when waiting

I know lol just hang tight, she'll b there

Thanx Jess

You know it. And tell u what, maybe later on I'll stop by to keep u company til she gets there.

U don't have to but I'll appreciate it.

Alright, c u 2night if nothin changes

I'll b here :)

Beca put her phone away and returned to her mixing. She reveled in the lovely distraction that was granted to her. She also remembered that Fat Amy was supposed to fly back tonight so she would likely see her as well tonight. It was only a few minutes later before she heard some nearby sirens. She decided it would be good to go ahead and suit up since it was close by. It was somebody speeding away from the cops. It didn't take long for Beca to swoop in and put a stop to it. She strung up the suspect's car and took away the offender's weapon from the window. She then swung away and disappeared to a rooftop where she could keep watch and make sure everything else went ok. Once everything was calm, she made a quick return to campus. She had to be careful and make sure Chloe hadn't arrived while she was out. She crawled back in and quickly got out of her suit before switching back to her other clothes. After that, it was just more waiting.
