Beca's POV

The early hours of the morning found Beca lying awake with Chloe wrapped in her arms, plagued with countless thoughts and doubts. She had to find a way to get Chloe out of this mess; that much was for certain. How she was going to go about accomplishing said feat was another matter entirely. It wouldn't be easy. There was a very large chance of something happening to one or both of them if Bumper were to catch them.

In all honesty, Beca didn't care what happened to herself at this point. The world would go on as usual if she were to cease existing. She wasn't naïve enough to believe that she had anything left to offer the world. Once upon a time, she was a good person, but her innocence had been robbed from her, leaving behind a bitter and jaded shell of a person behind. That was who she was now, and she accepted it. She had nobody that would miss her. Nobody to mourn her.

Chloe, though, was a different story. She still had so much left to offer the world. Although Beca knew very little about the other woman, she could tell that Chloe was a genuinely good person. Certainly someone undeserving of the hell she was being subjected to. The innocence and gentleness that shone in the redhead's eyes gave Beca all the reason she needed to help the girl.

She carefully shifted their positions so that she could slip out of the bed without disturbing the redhead's slumber. She held her breath as Chloe shifted in her sleep. The brunette could have sworn she heard her heart crack when a small whimper escaped from the girl's lips. She leaned over and placed a small kiss on the redhead's forehead, brushing her hair back from her face.

"I'm going to get you out of this, Chloe. I don't care what it takes… I'm going to fix this. I promise." she whispered to the sleeping girl. She quietly made her way out of the room. A familiar shadow loomed at the end of the hall. She cursed under her breath.

"Getting cozy with Red, are we?" Bumper sneered, his voice dripping with acid.

"She was scared and needed someone there to comfort her." Beca replied curtly, resentful that she even needed to explain herself.

"Aww, well, isn't that sweet." Bumper remarked sarcastically. "We're here to do a job, not coddle the rich bitch."

"No, you're here to do a job." the brunette snapped. "I'm here because I'm being forced into it."

"Oh, yes. Poor, innocent Beca. Forced into a life of crime by big, bad Bumper. You're breaking my heart." he said, placing his hands over his chest. His face twisted into a devious grin as he circled Beca like a predator closing in on its prey. "Do you really think that anyone would buy your story if we were to get caught? Face it Beca,. You're no better than the rest of us, so stop acting like you're so innocent in all of this."

The petite woman stood with her fists clenched, fighting back angry tears. She couldn't let her weakness show in front of Bumper. "I never claimed to be innocent," she growled through gritted teeth, "but I'm not so much of a monster that I don't know what we're doing here is wrong. In fact, I hope they do catch us. I would gladly serve my sentence if it meant that Chloe would be safe at home again." Beca winced as a hand connected with her face as Bumper slapped her.

"You stupid bitch." the taller man said in a low, angry voice. "You're falling in love with her." He looked at her through narrowed eyes, analyzing her reaction to the question. Beca said nothing in response, simply glaring back at him. Inside, her emotions were raging. Was she falling in love with the redhead? She did feel something for her… she just didn't know what. Bumper released a cruel laugh. "Oh, this is rich. Do you really think she could love you back? One of the people responsible for kidnapping her?"

Beca remained silent, refusing to give in to Bumper's taunts. He shook his head, his face still fixed with a cruel grin. "You just remember something. If you try anything stupid, and I will kill you both, starting with her so you can watch her die." he said in a menacing whisper. He leaned in close to her face. "And I can guarantee you it won't be a quick death." She gazed into his ice cold eyes, wondering if he even had a soul left. She glared defiantly at him until he turned on his heel and stomped away. She released the breath she had been holding and buried her face in her hands, releasing a frustrated groan. What the hell am I going to do?

Chloe's POV

Chloe slowly drifted into consciousness as she heard faint voices drifting in from the hallway. It sounded like an argument. One of the voices definitely belonged to Beca, and she was pretty sure the other one was Bumper. The redhead shuddered at the thought of the evil man. She couldn't fight her curiosity as she quietly slipped out of bed and padded softly over to the door, leaning her ear up against it so she could hear a little better. The young girl held her breath as she began to catch parts of the conversation. Beca was in trouble. She felt a knot form in her throat as she heard Bumper ask if Beca was falling in love with her. She scrunched her face up as no reply came from the brunette. Was it true? Was Beca in love with her? She tried to catch the rest of the conversation, but it grew too faint for her to hear. Before long, she heard loud footsteps walking away.

She sighed and slowly made her way back to the bed, crawling onto it and staring up at the ceiling. She heard the locking mechanism turn and the door squeak open as a faint light spilled in through the crack of the door. A small shadow blocked the light momentarily as Beca slipped in and closed the door. Light footsteps could be heard as she crossed the room and stopped as she reached the bed. The mattress dipped slightly as the petite brunette crawled up beside the younger girl and laid down. Chloe turned her head so that she could look at Beca.

"You came back." she said softly. "I didn't think you would come back."

"Of course I came back." Beca said with a small smile.

"Beca?" Chloe said timidly.

"Yeah?" the brunette replied, propping her head up on her arm so that she could look down at Chloe.

"Are we going to be alright?" the redhead asked with a shaky voice.

Beca released a small sigh. "Yes. I promise."

Chloe felt reassurance from the other woman's answer. She didn't know how, but she knew Beca would find a way to keep her promise. She felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around her and a warm body curl up to hers as she drifted off to sleep.
