Beca Mitchell sat in her car next to the apartment she shared with Chloe and Amy. It had been 2 weeks since they came back from the USO tour, and things were not going well. Amy didn't move out but she was never home either. She claimed she was "too rich to be in one place for more than a day". So that left Chloe and herself. They didn't really talk anymore. Chloe was busy with school, and when she wasn't she was always talking to Chicago. When Chloe wasn't talking to Chicago, she was arguing with Beca. They fought over every little thing, from Beca accidentally leaving the toothpaste open, to their latest argument, beca making too much noise while Chloe was trying to sleep. She didn't know what was going on. Chloe was angry constantly, and she had never known the girl to be mad this much at anything.
'Stupid Chicago.' She thought to herself. He was most likely the cause of their problems. Of course he managed to weasel himself in between Chloe and her. Chloe was head over heels for the guy, and they had only known each other for a few weeks. Meanwhile, Beca was stupid in love with the redhead and Chloe never even noticed. All the kissy noises and sweet talking through the phone made her nauseous. Beca was at her breaking point. She couldn't do it anymore. Theo was on her ass about moving to Boston to be closer to Khaled's label, so she was looking for apartments there. She just really didn't know how to tell Chloe. She sighed heavily. Until then, she just had to tough it out. She turned off her car, plucking the keys out of the ignition. She grabbed her laptop bag and got out before she locked her car and slowly made her way upstairs. Beca made it to her floor and was fumbling through her keys trying to find the one to the door when a voice rang out loudly in the hallway, making her jump.
"Hey, Shawshank." Fat Amy stood next to the door, a big suitcase just flung on the floor next to her.
"Amy, what the hell? Where did you come from?" She laughed and pulled the Australian girl in for a hug. Amy shrugged.
"Here, there. Let me tell you, I got a lot of man stick out there, and I'm only here to see you guys before I head out for another couple weeks." Beca shuddered and went back to finding her key.
"Man stick? That's disgusting. Thank you for sharing that I really needed to know that." She finally found the right key and unlocked the door, holding the door open for Amy to drag her suitcase in.
"Not my fault you're not getting any. Want me to find you a cute Slim Jim?" Beca laughed again and shook her head.
"No thanks." Amy just shrugged and flung her suitcase onto Beca and Chloe's bed. She started to speak again but was cut off by a laugh coming from the other side of the room.
"That's literally the funniest thing I've ever heard, i can't believe that actually happened!" Chloe exclaimed as Beca rolled her eyes.
"She's apparently on the phone with her boy toy." Fat Amy made a thrusting motion and Beca gagged.
"Yeah, thank you again, Amy, for that image."
"Anytime, shorty. So where are we going tonight? Mama's ready to find her some New York stick." Beca laughed loudly.
"Dude, stop saying that."
"Stop saying what?" Chloe had finished her call without either of them noticing and she came around the side of the curtain they had hung for "privacy".
"Beca's all pruny because we're both getting our hot dingo on and she's over here bored and lonely."
"No, I'm not," Beca said as she rolled her eyes. Amy was starting to get on her nerves.
"Aw, Becs, I'm sure Chicago has some friends he could set you up with." Beca scoffed.
"Yeah, no thanks. He can keep his dorky military buddies to himself, I'm good," she said rudely. Chloe looked hurt.
"I'm only trying to help, you have been kind of rude lately. More so than usual." Fat Amy just looked between the two.
"Um, is something wrong? Why are you guys fighting right now." Chloe looked at Amy.
"We're not fighting, Beca's just being stubborn. No sense in talking about it because Beca doesn't talk about anything. Ever." Beca stared at Chloe.
"What did this just turn into? Why are you suddenly so pissed at me?" Chloe scoffed.
"Maybe because you've been acting like a child since we got back from the tour. You're really excited about leaving me and Amy and just leaving this whole life behind, right?" Beca's jaw dropped.
"Are you serious right now?" Beca was starting to get angry. "You guys are the ones who encouraged me to do this! I was going to say no! You stood in front of me and told me to go and to follow this dream and all that nonsense. And now suddenly it's a problem for you? Thats ridiculous, Chloe." Chloe wasn't having it.
"Beca, of course i told you to follow your dream. What kind of best friend would i be if i told you that i didn't want you to go and i wanted you to stay here with me? What kind of best friend would i be if i told you that i didn't want you to leave me? I want you here Beca. I want you to decide to stay and to not go off and make new friends and forget about us." Becas face softened. Chloe was scared to lose her. That she understood.
"Chlo, I-" Chloe's phone ringing interrupted her. Chloe picked up her phone and looked at the caller ID.
"It's Chicago. I have to take this." Beca rolled her eyes.
"Of course. Trying to have an adult conversation here and your boyfriend just interrupts and you decide to take the call. Great talk Chlo." Beca picked up a bag and began putting her things in it. Chloe declined the call and put her phone down.
"You happy? I didn't answer so we can keep talking. Why are you packing?" Beca stopped and looked at Chloe.
"Because I have to start packing eventually. I'm leaving soon." Chloe crossed her arms.
"So you're just going to leave anyway? After everything I just said?" Beca sighed.
"Chloe I have to. This is my dream. You really think that we're going to lose touch? You're my best friend." Chloe and Fat Amy both scoffed.
"Yeah, we're such good friends. You're leaving anyway. You're not even gonna stay and help me." Beca sighed.
"Help you with what? What could you possibly need my help with? You got school, you know you're gonna ace that shit and be an amazing vet. I know I won't be here personally but i'll always call and text and shit to let you know that I'm still your best friend." Amy scoffed again and Beca turned to her. "Can we not right now, Amy?" Any nodded and turned back to her bag.
"You're not here to actually help with the important things. Beca!" Chloe's voice raised and Beca dropped her bag.
"Why do you keep saying that? What's so important that I'm not here for? I'll fly out for every graduation thing you have! I'll call and I'll text and I'll fucking show up to your door and surprise you, why are you so upset that i won't be here?" Beca's voice got louder too and she could see Amy scooting back into the corner of the room and texting. She assumed it was the other Bella's because none of them had witnessed a fight like this between the two older girls. Hell, there hasn't been a fight this bad between the two ever. Beca could see Chloe's eyes beginning to water.
"Because Beca..I.." Beca didn't care about the tears anymore. She was furious. What could possibly make Chloe want her to stay this bad?
"What Chloe? Why do i have to stay? Why do you need me in this apartment so bad?"
"Because Chicago proposed!" The room got quiet. Amy stopped texting and looked up wide-eyed between the two.
"Oh shit. Not good," Amy whispered quietly. She began texting furiously, her phone suddenly starting to make rapid fire singing sounds, signaling all the Bellas now knew. Beca didn't know what to do. She didn't know what to say. Did Chloe say yes? Why would she say yes? She had a million questions running through her head but she couldn't think clearly enough to say one.
"And before you ask, I said maybe." Becas heart sank. "I love him and I want to marry him, I just don't know if now is the right time. And i need you here to help me figure this out and to talk to me about it and just... i need you Beca." Before she realized what she was doing, Beca started shaking her head. She picked up the bag she had been stuffing full of stuff and put a couple more things in it and zipped it closed. She looked up at Chloe who had tears in her eyes.
"You're leaving anyway?" Beca nodded.
"Chlo, I.. I can't do that. I can't watch you stand there and marry someone you don't know. I can't help you plan it because i don't want you to do this. You don't know this dude! Why would you say yes?" Chloe wiped at her tears angrily.
"Because I love him! Why can't you be happy for me? Why does it matter we barely know each other? I'll learn everything about him. That's what you do in a marriage. Why can't you just stay and help me, Beca?" Beca didn't say anything. She grabbed her shoes and anything else she needed and started walking towards the door. She opened the door and stood in the doorway. She turned back to Chloe and looked at her face.
"I can't. Maybe one day you'll understand, but right now i seriously can't, Chloe. I'm so sorry." She turned away and closed the door, ignoring Chloe calling her name. She hurriedly made her way down the stairs and stopped at her car. She looked around in ther bag for her keys.
"Come on, where are you? Fuck!" She felt her pockets but came up empty. She'd have to go back upstairs for her keys. She couldn't face Chloe right now. She sighed and leaned against her car. Hopefully Chloe didn't come down the stairs either. A sound on the stairs drew her attention and she saw Fat Amy trying to carry her large suitcase down the stairs.
"Hey, shorty! A little help here?" Beca rolled her eyes and turned away.
"Not now, Amy, I can't do this right now." Any huffed and started dragging her bag down the last few steps, a loud thump signaling that she finally got all the way down. Beca sighed. Now was not the time for Amy's madness. She heard a sound next to her and jumped when she looked up, seeing the Australian girl next to her.
"What the fuck? How did you.. Never mind." Fat Amy chuckled and leaned against Beca's car. She held up Beca's car keys, dangling them on one finger.
"Looking for these?" Beca snatched the keys out of her hand and went to unlock her door, Amy jumping in front of her to block her path.
"Hey, hey. Wait a second. We need to talk." Beca groaned.
"Amy, i don't have time for this. I'm.. I'm late. For a meeting." Amy just stared at her. "Ugh, fine. What do you want?" She crossed her arms over her chest and waited for Amy to answer.
"I know." Beca raised an eyebrow.
"And what is it that you know, oh wise one?" Beca said sarcastically. Amy leaned closer to Beca and looked around.
"I know you're in love with Chloe." Beca froze.
"I...what..I..no..." Fat Amy just looked at her. "Okay, yes! Fine! I'm in love with Chloe. But what does it matter? She's marrying Chicago!" Amy shook her head.
"She's not marrying Chicago. Not yet anyways. You have time to tell her." Beca began shaking her head.
"No. No way. Absolutely not. Not happening dude. That's would ruin our entire friendship." Amy shrugged.
"Then let her marry Chicago. And be alone forever." Beca narrowed her eyes at Amy.
"What's your deal? Why do you want me to do this so bad?" Fat Amy shrugged again.
"It's supposed to be Bhloe forever. I can't stand back and watch you guys drift apart." She reached out and tapped Beca's head. "You guys are meant to be."
"Yeah," Beca scoffed. "Tell that to Chicago."
"But what abou-"
"No, no what ifs, no maybe's, no nothing, Amy. I'm tired of living in fear of Chloe finding out and I'm just.. done. I'm just gonna like.. go off the radar or something I don't know."
"Well, you're going to be super famous, I don't really think you'll be able to be off the radar, ya know Shorty?" Beca nodded. "But fine, I'm coming with you. Well as much as I can anyways. I'll be your distant sidekick, how about that?" Beca laughed.
"Okay, Ames." She unlocked her phone. "I'm texting Theo now to let him know I'm coming to Boston tonight, and I need an apartment." Amy took Beca's keys and unlocked her car, grabbing her bag and tossing it into the backseat. She turned to Beca.
"Let's do this, Shawshank. Leaving it all behind. Rolling out. Making a name for yourself." Beca laughed.
"I need to get a new phone number, also. Let's head there first." They got into Beca's car and made their way to the phone store. After picking out a new phone and doing all the paperwork, Beca stopped the guy before he shut her phone off.
"I just want to send a quick text to the Bellas. After that I only want you and CR to have my number, okay?" Amy nodded and Beca grabbed her phone and opened up the Bella's group message. She sighed and began typing.
Dear Bellas
Listen, I know this is unexpected and you may not understand why, but I've decided to start over. You guys know I love you, and I'm sorry it has to be this way but I need a fresh start. I'm so so very sorry to all of you, this is just as rough for me. Jessica and Ashley, I'm so happy to have met you guys and become friends with you. I know for a fact that y'all will be super successful with your business. Aubrey, I'm sorry our first year together was hectic, but I'm so very happy at how close we've become. You're like the sister i never wanted, but in the best way possible. Legacy, you rock. You're so talented and I'm so excited to hear your songs on the radio. You're the best little sister I've ever had. Flo, you keep on flipping girl. Good luck with your juice truck business, i know it's going to be great. Lily, i literally have no words. You scare the shit out of me, and I'm glad to be your friend. Chloe, I'm so sorry. I wish i could say I'm happy for you, but there isn't any way I could be. I'm so sorry to do this now, when you need your best friend the most, but i can't do this anymore. I can't stand back and watch the woman I love marry another man. I hope you can be happy in whatever you decide with Chicago, but i can't be there, and I'm so so very sorry about that. I really do wish you the best and I love you.
You guys are my best friends, and i love you guys so much. I'm so sorry for doing this to you guys. If you need anything please contact CR or Amy. Love you nerds.
She sent the message and handed the phone back to the store guy. She sniffled and wiped her eyes, not realizing she had been crying while typing. The phone started to ding and she assumed messages from the Bellas were rolling in. He offered the phone to her and she shook her head.
"Just turn it off." He nodded and turned the phone off and finished setting up her new number, handing her the phone when it was done. Amy was typing on her phone when she turned to her.
"The Bellas?" Amy nodded.
"Chloe's especially upset. She wants you to call her." Beca shook her head and started to walk back to her car.
"Can't do that. I'm starting fresh. Let's go, Ames." They got back into her car and she unlocked her new phone. She opened her contacts and pressed call on Theo's name.
"Hey, Theo. I'm on my way to the airport now. Our flight will be there in about 2 hours...Okay great. See you soon."
"You sure this is really what you wanna do, Beca?" Beca nodded and started the car.
"Lets do this. Fresh new start." She looked at Amy and the Australian nodded her head.
"We got this, Shawshank." Beca smiled and put the car in drive.
