A/N: Next week, friday September 13th, is impossible for me to post the next chapter because of my holiday to New York 🗽. You guys have to wait until friday September 20th for chapter 23, sorry for the delay but I haven't had a break from work from January. I hope you all enjoy this chapter and I'll come back to you all on friday September 20th!

---------------------------------------------------------

My annoying alarm rings and wakes me up the next morning. Just like every morning, I groan while putting the 'snooze' button. It becomes harder to wake up every day when you know you can't get to see the face of the person you love. Every day I just want to stay in bed and cry my eyes out. I can't get the accident out of my head and in every dream, I see it happen over and over again. It's like a nightmare, because every time I try to get Chloe into safety, I'm stuck with both feet clued on the road. I can't help her in my dream and I can't help her in real life. I just wished she knows how much I care about her, how much she means to me, but I can't tell her that. She can't hear me and I don't want to put her in more danger. She already had one seizure. I do have a plan tho, but first I need to tell Bella, so I grab my laptop and call her through Skype.

Hey Becs, how are you doing?

Hey Bella, not that good to be honest. It really sucks to see Chloe lies in that coma.

Still unconscious?

Yeah and there's nothing I can do to change that.

When we know who hit Aubrey's car, you can get revenge.

You mean if...

Don't say such a thing. Brandon is examining the picture from the pinboard and soon enough we know who that is on the picture.

I know and then I have this... Bella raises her eyebrows, I grab the gun that I've bought and hold it up before the webcam.

You've got to be kidding me?! Do you want to kill him?

No of course not! I just want to scare him a little bit, nothing more.

If you're going to do that, I'm coming with you.

Do you really want to do that?

Of course. I don't know if you know, but it's my sister-in-law that lies in that coma.

Sister-in-law?

Well, duh! Everybody can see that she's crazy about you. Back in LA, you weren't separated at all, you had dates and kissed a lot. You can't say that she isn't crazy about you.

I wish that was true you know, but Chloe's pregnant from Tom.

Pregnant?! Why didn't you tell me?

Because I didn't know. In the hospital, the doctor came to me and told me that the baby was okay.

Oh my god, I'm sorry Beca. I know how much you love her.

Well, there's nothing that I can do about it.

Are the rumors true?

What rumors?

That you're going back to LA.

Who told you that?

That doesn't matter, tell me... is it true?

I've been invited to meet Mr. Reynolds from Hollywood Records.

Are you kidding me?!

No, it's true. I've sent them a letter and now they want to meet me.

So, you're moving to LA.

If they hire me, yes. But I won't be alone.

Oh, Chloe and her child are coming with you?

I'm definitely going to ask her, but otherwise, it's going to be Amy and Stacie. They don't want me to move alone. Amy even wants to be my manager.

Well, Hollywood Records will be your manager, so that's not possible.

Her and Stacie are going to be my roommates if they hire me and Chloe doesn't want to come with me.

It's sweet of them, right?

Of course, but unnecessary. I don't want them to put a hold to their lives for me.

They just want to be there for you. I know you're not on your own in LA with mom and Troy, but still, you also need your best friends.

They are my best friends, but still.

You want Chloe to come with you?

Yes, I do love her and I want to live with her.

And her child?

That's a different story. I know I'll love it as if it's my own, but if Chloe gives Tom the right to be the father... I can't handle it if they are a family.

I understand. Let's find the person who did this to her first and make him pay.

Thank you for helping me.

Of course, hold on soon enough we know and we'll have our revenge. Don't lose hope okay? Chloe will wake up. I have to go now, but we'll stay in touch! Love you!

I love you too! 

Bella goes offline and I put the gun back in the drawer. I walk back to the pinboard, where there's no photo anymore. Did the guy who hit Ashley's car took Chloe's necklace? I guess he has it and I'm sure I'll get it back. I need to get it back, for Chloe. I want to see her gorgeous smile if she wakes up and sees her necklace. Please Chlo, wake up. I can't live without you and I need you!
