Beca and Chloe literally spent the next few days together. They never left each other's sight except for when they had to go for class. Beca had been staying over at Chloe's apartment every night. Chloe had nightmares sometimes and Beca was always there to comfort her. Beca's arms around her, her comforting words and sometimes eventually her lips on hers, reassuring her.

They still had rehearsals everyday since the semi finals were coming up. It was pretty intense but they got over it by looking at each other during rehearsals. Aubrey accepted Beca at least. But still refused to let her help with the set list. Beca needed to convince her on that part. She was sure they wouldn't win even the semi finals with that old set list.

It was a cold Friday night and the two of them were cuddling in bed watching a movie on Netflix. They didn't have rehearsals tomorrow and they were really thankful.

"This movie is horrib-" Beca didn't get to finish her sentence before she felt warm lips cover her own. She smiled into the kiss and returned it, her hands still on the bed. Chloe straddled her quickly and continued kissing Beca hard with the movie going on in the background. Beca lifted her hands and slipped them under Chloe's shirt, and Chloe gasped.

"What?" Beca pulled her hands away as Chloe recoiled from her.

"No-nothing." Chloe murmured. "Sorry."

"Don't be sorry." And once again since Chloe stepped into her life, Beca initiated a hug. Chloe could feel her tears threatening to fall out as she pushed herself against Beca's body, assuring herself that it was okay. Beca only held the girl closer. She knew Chloe used to harm herself and she still did but when she met Chloe she had stopped for a while now. Or at least she thought Chloe had stopped. Beca's eyes widened.

"Chlo?" Beca pushed Chloe off slightly.

"What?" Chloe whimpered loud enough for Beca to hear. It killed Beca to see Chloe in this state. She yearned for the happy cheerful girl but everyone has their secrets and weaknesses after all. And she wanted to help Chloe she needed to be strong for Chloe. Beca paused the movie and placed her laptop on the bedside table.

"Can I see?" Beca's hand reached for Chloe's shirt hem, gently rolling the fabric between her thumb and her forefinger.

"Same-" Chloe stuttered. "Still the same."

"Then let me see." Beca pushed on. The last time Chloe let Beca see, there wasn't any new scars but her old scars were enough to scare Beca. Beca pushed Chloe gently down on the bed. Beca saw a single tear fall from the corner of Chloe's eye and she wiped it away.

"Chloe please." Beca almost whined. She was afraid. She didn't think Chloe would be like this but she wanted to help the girl.

"Bec-" Chloe tried but choked.

"Let me help you." Beca said so earnestly Chloe almost sobbed out loud. Upon seeing no resistance, Beca slowly lifted Chloe's shirt, preparing for the worst. But her worst wasn't bad enough. Her eyes widened and she heard Chloe whimper.

"When was this?" Beca asked in a scarily calm tone.

"Please don't be angry. Please, please." Chloe mumbled, her tears free-falling from the corner of her eyes. Beca almost cried out loud. Chloe was acting like a child. Beca can't bear to see Chloe like this. She surged forward and wrapped the shivering girl up in a hug.

"Remove your shirt." Beca whispered.

"Why?" Chloe asked, pressing her head to Beca's neck.

"Don't let the fabric rub against the wounds." Beca said simply, pulling Chloe's shirt up. She signaled for her hands to go up before pulling the shirt over her head. Beca immediately wrapped her arms around the redhead again. She ran her hand up and down Chloe's arm, warming the girl up.

"Yesterday." Chloe murmured.

"Huh?" Beca was startled by the answer before she realized what Chloe was referring to. "Oh."

"I failed my literature exam." Chloe managed to whisper before burying her head in Beca's neck again.

"Why didn't you call me?" Beca asked gently, stroking Chloe's hair.

"I'm not good enough for you. You de-deserve better." Chloe stuttered on each word.

"Bullshit Chloe. It's me who doesn't deserve you. You're beautiful, you're smart, you always put others before you. I could go on forever. My point is Chloe, if you ever need to call me, just call me please?" Beca said and Chloe still didn't look convinced. She merely nodded and pressed her body closer to Beca's. Which Beca took as a sign of trust.

"Chloe, I love you." Beca felt Chloe tense up. And Chloe started crying again. "Oh god I'm sorry I didn't mean to say it so soon."

"No one has said that to me in a long time." Chloe sobbed. Beca understood Chloe. Sure her dad says he loves her but it always didn't sound that sure and assuring. And her mom left when she was little.

"I love you. I love you." Beca said again. She was going to make up for the times Chloe felt unloved and unsure of herself. She was going to fix Chloe. And she did love Chloe. More than anything in the world. They're both just two people trying to find comfort and love in the world. Though Chloe seems to take it a lot worse than Beca. But Beca was willing to help her.

"I love you." Beca whispered once more. Chloe responded by grasping on to Beca's shirt and pushing herself full on to Beca's lap. Although Beca was the smaller one, she didn't mind holding Chloe. It felt normal. Beca pulled Chloe closer and kissed her forehead.

"I love you too." Beca suddenly heard a small whisper. A smile broke on her face and she let out a laugh. Chloe looked up and cracked a grin. Beca doesn't laugh like that usually but her laugh was contagious.

"I love you." Beca repeated again. Chloe leant up to capture Beca's lips and they moved softly together in sync, smiling against each other's lips. Beca pulled away slowly and put on a serious look.

"Seriously Chlo, you need to tell me next time okay?"

Chloe nodded and Beca stuck out her pinky. Chloe giggled at Beca's adorable gesture and hooked her pinky with Beca's, twisting around and pressing their thumbs together.

"I love you so much Beca." Chloe whispered, kissing Beca again.
