"You should tell her." Jessie said standing outside the church.

"She's getting ready to get married, Jessie." Beca paced in her bride's maid dress. "It's supposed to be the best day of her life, I'm not going to ruin that for her."

"So you're just going to watch the love of your life walk down that isle and marry someone else."

"You don't understand. She's my best friend."

"What don't I understand is that you've been in love with her for the past three years and never said anything." Jessie grabbed her by the shoulders making her look at him. "And your about to lose your last chance." The sound of the door opening made them turn around.

"Hey they're getting ready to start. Jessie go get a seat." Aubrey ordered from the doorway. "Beca get in here, we're lining up." Without a word Beca broke from Jessie and went inside following Aubrey. Jessie sighed and followed them in.

As Beca walked down the aisle with one of the groomsman she had accepted her fate. Her heart hammered in her chest as tears threatened to spill out. She would hold it together, she had to. She lined up with Aubrey, the maid of honor, and the other brides maids. As the band began to play the wedding march and the bride stepped out from behind the double doors Beca's heart stopped. She had never seen anything more beautiful in her life, and was sure she never would again. The bride walked down the aisle and Beca locked eyes with the bluest eyes she's ever met. The ones that she had fallen in love with so many times over the past few years. Their eyes were locked until…they weren't anymore. They walked past her and she could feel her heart breaking. She knew it was never going to be but as soon as she heard 'I Do' fall from her best friend's mouth she crumbled inside. Tears started falling fast and she couldn't do anything to stop them. She tried to put a smile on. Tried to make it seem like they were happy tears as many cried but as soon as she heard the preacher speak those infinite words she choked out a sob and her hand flew to her mouth trying to keep quiet. "I now present Tom and Chloe McAdams."


Five years later…

Beca groaned rolling over her bed, her hangover from drinking the night before making itself present. She somehow managed to crawl to bed after she spent half the early morning on the bathroom floor curled around the toilet. She tried to recall the events from the night before. Unfortunately she was a bit hazy after the first four drinks. Last night was the celebration of her latest collaboration hitting number one. Per usual she was pulled in every direction giving interviews to reporters and pulled into small talk with anyone her manager thought was anyone. She hated it. She hated it all. All she wanted to do was make music and be left alone. She was just falling back asleep when her phone vibrated. She groaned again reaching on the night stand reading the text message, actually several texts.

12:37 am from Jessie- Hey you left kind of suddenly. Everything OK?

1:17 am from Jenny- Where are you!? This party is being thrown for you!

1:39 am from Jenny-Do you know how many people I'm having to lie to because you've disappeared!?

3:42 am from Jenny-You better be dead in an ally somewhere because that's the only excuse for ignoring me.

Beca rolled her eyes as she saw her manager's texts. It was my party and I was tired of talking to people. She sent back then she scrolled to the next message that she didn't recognize the number.

8:32 am from 4124681081-What did you mean last night? Have you recovered?

"Who the hell is this?" Beca asked herself. Maybe just a wrong number. She thought before she read the next 3 messages.

9:17am from 4124681081-Are you up yet? I really want to talk to you Beca! I haven't seen you in forever.

10:45am from 4124681081-Ok now I'm starting to get a little worried. Please text or call me. I don't want you to disappear from my life again.

11:55am from 4124681081-Beca please.

"Ok who the fuck is this? I don't remember calling anyone." Beca looked at the clock noticing it was only noon. So she got up ignoring all texts for the moment trying to piece any part of the night after midnight. She had really hit the alcohol early and was beyond gone by eleven. She decided that maybe a shower would help clear her thoughts or at least make her feel a bit better.

After her shower she did indeed feel a bit better and was actually kind of hungry. She got dressed and made her way downstairs to 'fix' some cereal. While eating her breakfast she tried to remember who she may have called last night. She checked her phone and she saw a four minute call to the mystery number. And she called it not the other way around. She finally gave up figuring it must have been a drunk dial to some random number. She threw her phone to the side and turned on the TV.

After a bit curiosity got the best of her so she picked up her phone to text the number asking who it was. But as she began to text her phone rang and the mysterious number popped up on caller id. She let it ring a few times before ultimately deciding to answer it.

"Hello?" She said coming out more like a question.

"Beca! I was worried you wouldn't answer." The voice said on the other end and immediately Beca recognized the voice. Even after almost five years. Her heart began to beat frantically in her chest.

"Ch-Chlo?" She asked shakily.

"Yeah."

"How…how did you get my number?"

"Umm, you called me last night. Do you not remember?"

"No. How did I get your number?" She asked. She was sure she deleted it after it mocked her for a full year after Chloe had gotten married.

Chloe laughed. "I don't know. I'm so glad that you called though. I've missed you."

"Uh, yeah. Me too."

"So why have I not spoken to you in almost five years!?" Chloe yelled. "You were my best friend aside from Aubrey. I mean all of a sudden you change your number and don't bother to ever call me again." Beca could hear the hurt in Chloe's voice. But before she could say anything Chloe continued on. "I mean did our friendship not mean anything to you?" She almost whispered.

"Chloe of course it did, it does." Beca closed her eyes, she wished she could explain why she had to cut ties with her. "You mean more to me than you'll ever know-"

"Then why? Why did you just vanish on me?"

Because I've loved you since the moment you barged in my shower and made me sing with you. Beca thought but never gave those words voiced. She sighed. "I..just life you know…you got married and my career started to take off." She didn't completely lie. "People lose touch, I guess."

"That's a cop out, Beca. What happened?" This wasn't the conversation that Chloe had in mind when she had called. But it seemed this was the way it was going.

"I...I can't talk about it Chlo. Please?" Beca sounded defeated.

"Can we get together? I'm in LA now." Chloe asked and Beca bit her lip. She wasn't sure she wanted to go down this road but she'd be lying if she said she didn't want to see Chloe. "Please, Beca?" Plus she could never say no to the redhead.

"Sure, when's a good time for you?" They made plans to get together for lunch the next day. They hung up and Beca couldn't help the nervous smile that appeared on her face from the thought of seeing her best friend again. And even after all this time Beca's heart fluttered. Could she manage seeing the woman who stole her heart without completely losing it?


A/N: Ok this is completely different than my other story To Leave It All Behind (shameless plug). This one is going to be a little more serious, maybe a bit more drama. I have about 11 chapters done but I'm not sure how it's going to be received since I keep more on the lighthearted side of things. So show me it's worth continuing. Can I get ten reviews or follows to keep me motivated?
