A/N: This is my first ever fic, so I would greatly appreciate it if you guys reviewed. Also, a heads up. This chapter is all about backstory. The next chapter gets more into the plot, I promise.

It was a few months after graduation and Beca still hadn't really found her way. LA was a lot more daunting than she had expected. Sure, she had Jesse there to help her when she felt overwhelmed, but she couldn't rely on him too much, she needed to find her own way. The internship at the record label near Barden had been great experience, but it didn't really matter when she got to LA. Since she arrived, she had taken small jobs as DJs for little parties, none that mattered. She was still making her own tracks, and was trying more of what she had learned from the producer internship- trying to make new things, not just dubstep mashups. Since graduating, she had come up with two original pieces, thanks to her favorite freshman, Emily. However, she couldn't get anyone to do anything with these works. No one was interested in taking her in as a producer or even sign her under a label. But Beca refused to give up. She had wanted this for many years, and now she was close, she knew that. She just needed a break through. The right party, the right people, or the right track. She just needed one of these things and then all her dreams would come true.

Jesse on the other hand, was doing great things. He wasn't scoring movies like he wanted, but he was working on soundtracks for video games. It was great experience for him. He was working with all the things and types of people he had wanted. Yeah it wasn't movies and he wasn't bringing people to tears, but he was on his way. And he was still bringing emotion to the viewers/players. He could make something more intense, scarier, or more sad in the case of a backstory. His success is why he tried so hard to help Beca. He couldn't stand to see her not making her dreams come true. She was so talented and passionate, why was she not successful yet? he thought.

After the World Championship and a few weeks in LA, Beca and Jesse decided to call it quits on their relationship. It was a mutual breakup, so they said, but it was really Beca more so breaking up with Jesse. She couldn't stand how clingy he would get sometimes. Jesse agreed to break up mostly because he wanted to focus on his career, which is what he told himself and Beca, but really he was heartbroken about the whole thing. They remained very close friends, though. So close that they even went to each other with relationship issues. In fact, Jesse was the first person Beca told of her newly discovered sexuality. After her encounters with Kommissar, she really started to question everything. Then, in LA, when she was around so many beautiful women, she realized that she was in fact bisexual. Realizing that was a huge weight off her shoulders. She had been attracted to many women in the past, but just assumed that was normal.

Beca's relationship with the other Bellas sadly became almost nonexistent. She would occasionally talk to Cynthia Rose or Stacie, but it was very seldom. Fat Amy would reach out every once in a while with some crazy story or an invite to a weird party, but there was never any real conversation between the two. The one Bella that Beca remained closest to was Chloe, of course. Although, even that relationship had dwindled. Chloe knew that Beca was in LA. Chloe was only about an hour away in Santa Barbra. She was working as a performer. Somehow, though, the two hadn't managed to meet up in Cali since they moved. Part of the reason for that may be because Chloe had just moved to Santa Barbara a few weeks ago. After graduation, Chloe still didn't know what she wanted to do with her life. At the group camp outing with Aubrey, she said that she would maybe wither want to teach underprivileged kids how to sing or become an exotic dancer. It amazed Beca that after seven years of college, the girl still didn't know what she wanted to do. But that was Chloe. She was spontaneous. She sometimes had a plan, but it could always be changed. The fact that Chloe was performing for a living made Beca so happy. She knew how much that redhead liked to be singing and dancing live for an audience. Beca was happy for Chloe. She was happy for Jesse. Everyone seemed to be doing well but her, or so she thought.

A/N: Again, I'd love if you guys reviewed. I would love feedback, constrictive or otherwise. I want to get better at this. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it.
