A/N: Alrighty! Welcome to the official launch of the "There's something More Than This sequel"! You guys have waited enough, and I'm currently having the writer's block in NATFIL, so might as well start this story to keep my mind going in gears. Anyway, since I have first published this during December 2014, the setting is in December, but we'll be time-jumping later on.
Anyway, enough with the babbling of mine and start reading awesome nerds. I don't own Pitch Perfect or Pitch Perfect 2.
Chapter 1 – We're Over
A silent evening. A quiet street. Dimmed lights, and you know it's a peaceful night with people having their sweet slumber. Some might have the good dreams, and some not.
Although, in the midst of Los Angeles, in a certain apartment, sits Beca Mitchell in her dining room. A glass of brandy on her left hand, and a piece of paper on her other hand. It's 1:30 in the morning of the 10th of March. She's all alone in her apartment, and it's quite odd. Why though?
Because Chloe Beale left.
That was when Jesse woke up to his phone, ringing at the wee hours of the morning. Squinting his eyes as he carefully removes his arm around Aubrey, his girlfriend for about 10 years now, so he wouldn't wake her up. He took his phone from the bedside table and stood up from the bed. He answered it as he went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water. Hearing his best friend cry had him worried, but since his mind is still fazed up from sleepiness, he didn't quite get why she was crying in the first place. But when Beca managed to tell him the reason, his eyes went wide and the glass almost slipped from his grip.
"Chloe left me."
It didn't take long when Stacie and Aubrey knew what happened. Of course they tried to contact the redhead, but with no luck. It's as if she disappeared in the face of the earth. Ugh, like how Beca was when she was in high school and when she was depressed. Good thing Beca was already matured enough to not lock herself inside her room again for three days. Aubrey didn't know what to do though, Chloe was her best friend after all.
The couple, since they were staying in Los Angeles because of Jesse's job as a movie scorer, they always hang out with the petite brunette; making sure she doesn't die out of depression because even if it has been months now since Chloe left, Beca's still heartbroken. She wouldn't go to bed at the end of the day without drinking, but not enough for her to black out. Somehow, Beca had grown up and knew her responsibilities as an adult. Then the next day comes, she goes to work, goes home and drinks in the kitchen with Jesse and Aubrey, after that, the two would go home, and then she'll sleep alone in her and Chloe's bed (well, used to be their bed), and it all goes over again.
When Beca thinks that the alcohol isn't doing its job anymore, she goes back to mixing. Of course, mixing has been her refuge since she was thirteen and a half. Mostly, the mixes are about Chloe, of course, until she finds herself still up at like 4 in the morning, which reminded her of one time.
3:30 AM, Los Angeles, California
Chloe walks over Beca's office and saw the brunette sleeping in front of the computer. She sighed and shakes her head a bit as she walks to her girlfriend. Chloe pats Beca on the back slightly.
"Babe, c'mon…let's get you to bed." Chloe says gently.
Beca sits right up, with an alarmed expression in her face but then looks at Chloe. Her face softened and smiled gently at the redhead. She sighed.
"I'm sorry, I slept in here. Work just drives me crazy." Beca said as she stands up and held Chloe's hand.
"I know Becs, and it's starting to make me worry about you too much. You're gonna kill yourself if you continue to sleep hours late." Chloe reasoned out. Beca stop walking and turns to her girlfriend with an awed smile.
"You're amazing, y'know that?" Beca said that made Chloe raise an eyebrow.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah." Beca nodded and continued walking towards their bedroom. "I'm so amazed by how caring you can be…even if I've been with you for like 7 years." Beca continued as she opens the door of their bedroom for Chloe.
"Well, if I wasn't here…then who would look out for your silly ass?" Chloe chuckled as she stepped inside the bedroom.
"Hey now…" Beca said as she closed the bedroom door, and Chloe laughed.
"Oh you are such a baby." Chloe said as she pinched Beca's cheek with a chaste kiss on the lips. "C'mon, let's snuggle and get you some sleep."
"Can you be the spoon please?" Beca said in a tiny voice and flutters her eyes that made Chloe rolls her eyes and smile.
"Whatever you say babe."
3:30 AM Los Angeles, California – present
"Beca. Hey Beca wake up." Says Kristen as she shakes Beca's unconscious body on the office couch. Beca moans a cracked sleepy voice as she sits right up.
Kristen is Beca's secretary/best friend for the past 4 years since she started this club in LA, that became one of the most famous clubs.
Beca rubs her eyes and blinks for a few times as her eyes adjust to the light in her office.
"What time is it?" she asks in a sleepy voice.
"It's past 3:30 in the morning. The club's closed, and I'm going home…how' bout you?" Kristen asks.
"Hmm…maybe I'll leave in an hour. You can go on, have your holiday. Enjoy it." Beca said with a slight grin on her lips as she stood up and fixed her clothes.
"Uhh, well alright…but, aren't you supposed to be enjoying it too?" Kristen asked. "It's been 9 months Beca. You should've moved on by now. Especially Christmas is nearing."
Beca scoffed. "I know that Kristen, thank you."
"Well, clearly you don't know it too well since you look like shit." Kristen spats.
"Nice way of talking to your boss, Kris." Beca talks back sarcastically and Kristen sighed.
"Beca, look…" she walks closer to Beca and puts a hand on her shoulder. "You can't change what happened. The only way to get on with it is either drown yourself in alcohol and die or move on, live your life and start fresh. It's that simple."
"It's never gonna be that simple." Beca mumbled, and then she looked at Kristen. "I'd rather die than have no one in my life."
"You have me. You have your friends, you have your parents. C'mon you have a family out there." Kristen defends.
"Yeah, well she's not in it…so…"
"Beca, please don't do this to yourself. You have a great life…this is just some rough path that you have to get through with. Just remember that I'm right here always to help you." Kristen pats her friend gently on the back and Beca looks back at her with a grateful smile on her face.
"Thanks, Kristen." Beca says weakly with a sad smile on herself.
Kristen just smiled. "Right, well…I gotta go. Ryan must be worried by now. Have a nice vacation Becs…and make sure it's worth it." Kristen said as she leaves the room.
Beca sighed. It's been 9 months since she was happy, and joyful, and cheerful. The last time she was this depressed was when she was 13, when her father abandoned them.
9 months have passed and still, every moment, every memory of Chloe is still hung up inside her head. Beca closes her eyes as tears started to fall down her face.
And then her phone toned up. She opens her eyes and wipes them with the back of her hand as she grabs her phone from her desk. She smiled as she saw the person who messaged her.
It was Stacie. And boy, did she miss that flirty brunette friend of hers. She taps on the message and read it.
Rebeccaaaaaa!
It's been so long! Gosh, I missed you so much! That's why something big is coming, and we'll see each other soon! Aubrey and Jesse are engaged! And we'll have a get-together soon! I'll text you later on about the deets. Can't wait! Lol, miss you so much! Xo
Beca couldn't react. Her face was like a stone statue that looked like a hypnotized person. Jesse and Aubrey engaged. A get-together soon…and it includes EACH and EVERY ONE of THEIR FRIENDS…that means Chloe's gonna be there.
Holy fucking shit.
