Bechloe: BELONG

Chapter 6: Photo

A photo can say a thousand things

But it can't say the million things I wanna say

A photo can capture the way we were

But it can't capture the way we are

'Cause you're far away

What it's like to know you

What it's like to touch you

"I-I-Uh… Hi. I'm Beca." Beca stated through gritted teeth reaching to shake his hand. She couldn't be an asshole and push this douchebag away. It'd only push Chloe away from her further and they were barely back in each other's lives.

"Oh, I know who you are… Chloe's best friend. She talks about you all the time!" Brad added with a smile. Damn. Beca really wished this guy was a jerk… But he was with Chloe, the sweetest person on the planet. It seemed only fitting that she would pick someone so attractive and so seemingly nice. It made Beca internally roll her eyes at the irony.

"She does, does she?" Beca said with a sidelong glance to Chloe.

"Oh yeah, totally. She's missed you, shame you guys stopped talking…" Brad added lifting an arm around Chloe and pulling her close.

Beca felt like she was suffocating. She couldn't watch this guy claim territory.

"Yeah, well. Guess that's between Chloe and I…" Beca added with sarcasm. She couldn't help but notice Chloe's nervous stance, shifting from side-to-side and pulling at the ends of her hair. That was always something Chloe did when she was nervous. He obviously didn't know what had happened between them five years ago, and it made Beca wonder who actually knew about what happened between them and if it had even meant anything to Chloe at all.

Before Brad could keep grasping for conversation, Jesse came over and grabbed Beca's arm whispering something in her ear while pointing towards the door.

"It was SO nice to meet you Brad, I've gotta go meet some of the fans. You guys enjoy." Beca said as she looked at Chloe and headed towards the door outside to greet some of the fans lined up along the fence.

Chloe couldn't help but keep her eyes lingering towards Beca until she was completely outside.

"She seems nice, babe." Brad said with a nudge to Chloe's shoulder, smile plastered on his face.

"She's the best…. What exactly are you doing here Brad?" Chloe bit back on edge. She couldn't help but wonder what was going through Beca's mind right now. Maybe Beca didn't even care that she had moved on. She was famous afterall…

"Babe, you know Kevin and the guys wanted to go out." Brad added confused, he had told Chloe this a few days ago, but she'd been distracted lately.

Kevin was an actor on the newest season of The Vampire Diaries and had brought some of the cast out to celebrate the premier.

"Right, yeah… I remember." Chloe said still focused on the door outside.

When you told me that you loved me
were those just words
You can't tell me you don't need me
and I know that hurts
'Cause I'm looking at your picture
'Cause it's all I've got
Maybe one day
You and me will have one more shot
