Soulmates

.29.

I've been pacing around for like one hour now in front of the room where Chloe lies. Every detail goes through my mind. What if it's a prank? What if Chloe's dead and her parents are in there to talk about her funeral? But what if it isn't a prank? What if I walk in and she doesn't want to see me? I know Amy said that Chloe asked for me, but what if that is a prank too? Will they really do that to me? The girls all know what Chloe means to me. I don't even know what to say to Chloe. I want to tell her how I feel, but I know I can't. She's way to special for me and I don't want to ruin our friendship. What to do? I just can't survive if I step inside the room and see that Chloe's dead. The scratches I made on my arm a few days ago, are healing but are still visible. Well, to someone who pays attention. My phone starts ringing and I see that it's Amy. I take the call, but don't say anything. I can see the door opening and hear Amy asking where I am.

Closer than you think. I say through the phone, what makes her turn around. When she sees me, she runs over to me, while ending the call.

,,Beca, how long are you standing here?"

,,About one hour."

,,Why didn't you come in?"

,,I don't know, I panicked. I mean, what if she doesn't want to see me anymore? How can I be sure she's really awake and that you guys aren't just pranking me."

,,You think we would do that to you?" I shrug my shoulders. I really don't know what I did expect, but I just calmed myself down after a small panic attack. ,,We don't prank you with this. We all know how much Chloe means to you. Now come on." Before I can chicken out, she already pulls me inside of the room. ,,This one was standing outside this room for one hour."

,,Aw Beca, why would you do that?" Emily looks at me.

,,That's not important." Amy looks at me. ,,We will leave you two alone." All the bellas nod and leave the room.

,,Becs." Is the first thing I hear and her voice warms my heart.

,,Hey Chlo." I take a step forward, just to be sure she's really awake. ,,Is this for real?" I pull out my hand and carefully touches her cheek.

,,Yes Becs, I'm here." The moment she has said that I throw my arms around her and hold her close. I've missed her so much!

.Chloe's point of view.

I've never seen Beca like this, but I like it. She's so vulnerable and I'm glad she can show that side of her to me. She's still the badass that she was and always will be, but this different side that nobody gets to see often is really cute. And I can for sure tell that I've seen this side more than the other bellas, but I don't mind.

,,So, the girls told me you've been in here the whole period I was lying in that coma. Thank you for that, Becs."

,,I'm so sorry!" I hear her say and I look at her with raised eyebrows, while she sits down on the chair next to the bed. ,,I haven't been here the whole time. They lied to you to protect me."

,,Protect you from what?"

,,Well, they don't want us to fight. I couldn't be here all the time."

,,Why not sweety?" Oh, my god. I've missed Beca so much and I missed all our nicknames too!

,,Because it killed me to see you like that." She starts to cry now, which makes me startle a little bit. She doesn't show people this side either, except me. I try to reassure her, but it's not working.

,,Becs, it's okay." I try, but that makes Beca go out of my arms. I miss the warmth of her body against mine already. She gets up and starts to walk and breath faster. She needs to stop before she'll get a panic attack.
