I hope this chapter explains a little bit of why Beca had to die. She was a criminal, guys. She killed and ate people for 5 years, even if she wasn't killed, she'd get death sentence or lifetime in prison. I feel just the way you guys do, I tried really hard to try to find a way to keep her alive, but there wasn't.

Chloe was sobbing uncontrollably again as she whole scene replayed in her mind. She was surprised when both the counselor and the judge kept quiet.

"I will never forgive them." Chloe said. "The policemen that killed Beca. She asked for peace! She wasn't gonna hurt anyone!"

"We're sorry to hear that." The judge said in a soft tone.

"Beca's dead.." Chloe said, looking down. "I don't even have her picture. She lives in my heart now. And my dreams."

Still silence.

"I came here today because I wanted the world to know my story. I wanted the world to know that Rebeca Mitchell wasn't a monster and that it was inhuman how she was killed. And that I will never ever forgive the police for that." Chloe said.

Once again, the judge and counselor remained quiet.

"I tried to forgive them. Everybody says you have to try to forgive and move on. But what people don't understand is that I can't move on." Chloe said. "I never will. And.. that's my story. Unfinished."

"Thank you, Miss Beale and I'm sorry." The judge said. "You may go."

Chloe nodded and stood up. She was escorted out, ignoring the press as she did, going into her car. She drove off and went home.

oO0Oo

Chloe didn't even know what happened and if you asked her, she wouldn't remember. She just knew that she was in the police station, hugging herself, tears falling freely from her eyes, detectives and doctors asking her if she was okay, if she was hurt, but she couldn't answer. Her clothes were covered in blood as well as her face.

Chloe looked up from her lap and saw her family surrounding her, as well as the Bellas.

"Oh my God!" her mother yelled.

"What did that monster did to her?!" her father asked.

Chloe looked up at her father.

"She was not a monster!" she yelled, making everybody shut up. They all looked at her, even the police that wanted an explanation. "They're the monsters! They killed her! They killed Beca!"

Chloe was pointing the policemen in anger as she stood up.

"Miss Beale, she killed many people-"

"-I don't care! I don't fucking care what she did! You killed her! Bastards! BASTARDS!" at that point, Chloe's parents and Aubrey had to hold her. She was kicking her arms and legs and screaming at the top of her lungs. "I loved her! I LOVED HER!"

"Chloe! She ate Stacie!" Aubrey said, frowning in confusion. "She got what she deserved!"

Chloe spat, literally spat, at Aubrey's face angrily, trying to free herself from her parents' grasp.

"She loved me too! She loved me!" Chloe yelled. "Don't ever talk about Beca like that in front of me!"

Aubrey wiped her face and looked back at Chloe.

"She brainwashed you. Got you believing she actually cared." Aubrey said. "You should get treatment."

Chloe finally freed herself from her parents' grasp and jumped at Aubrey, grabbing her by the neck and squeezing it hard. The blonde was almost purple and Chloe started hitting her head against the ground repeatedly. Finally, two cops and her father pulled her away from Aubrey.

"I believe we need to take Miss Beale to a psychiatric hospital, we need to get a psychiatric evaluation." one of the cops said to her parents. "She needs to be sedated."

It wasn't without a fight that the two cops got Chloe out of the room. Her parents were devastated and the Bellas were utterly shocked and terrified of the redhead. Aubrey was sobbing and now throwing up, her neck was bruising.

"What has that monster done to our daughter?" Irene asked, her hand on her chest.

David took a few deep breaths, staring out the door the cops took his daughter through.

"I have no idea." he said before pulling his wife into a tight hug.

oO0Oo

Aubrey stopped outside Chloe's room in the psychiatric ward and stopped her parents from going in.

"Wait! Can I come in? I wanna talk to her." she said. "She's my best friend, I wanna see if I can get her to open up about what happened."

David look down at his wife with an apprehensive look, but the woman just nodded and they looked back at the blonde.

"Maybe she'll open up to you." Irene agreed. "We'll be waiting."

Aubrey nodded and offered them a small smile and took a deep breath before going in the room. The redhead was calm now, fidgeting with her nails while she cried.

"Chloe." Aubrey said quietly.

Chloe looked up at her and didn't say anything before she looked back down at her nails. Aubrey took this as a good sign and approached the bed, sitting on a chair right next to the redhead.

"How are you doing?" she asked calmly.

"I wanna die." Chloe answered. "The only person I've ever loved died on my arms..."

Aubrey knew she was gonna regret saying what she was going to say so she took a deep breath.

"Chloe.. she was a cannibal! She killed and ate one of your best friends.." Aubrey said. "Believe me, she deserved what she got."

Chloe bit her lip in anger.

"I used to think the same way." she confessed. "I used to think the monster who killed Stacie deserved to die. But that was before I met Beca. She… she was amazing.. she was so caring.. and she loved me."

Chloe then looked up at Aubrey, her blue eyes shining with tears. Tears of sadness, pain, hurt, anger. But her eyes did show love. They showed how much the redhead loved Beca.

"We were happy, Bree." Chloe said. "She trusted me with all her heart and I trusted her with all of mine."

Aubrey decided not to ask, she was gonna let the redhead tell her the story.

"Our first time… it was magical.." Chloe tried to hold back sobs. "She showed her vulnerable side.. to me! Because she loved me. And I loved her. I still love her."

Aubrey frowned.

"Wait.. you slept with her?" Aubrey asked.

"Yeah." Chloe said.

"As in.. had sex with her?" Aubrey asked, frowning deeper in confusion and disgust.

"Why is it so difficult for you to understand? Yeah, we had sex." Chloe said.

"Chloe..." Aubrey took a deep breath.

"Aubrey, if you're just gonna say that Beca was a monster, then leave." Chloe said, angrily. "I love her, okay? Nobody knows her like I do."

Aubrey pursed her lips and looked down.

"I'm sorry… you have to understand my side. Our side! We all thought you were dead, especially after we heard the person who might've had kidnapped you was a cannibal." Aubrey said. "You may know her as a wonderful person, but remember what she did to us. She took you, Stacie, Jesse and Benji from us. Unfortunately, the other three can't be with us anymore. We only know her as the monster who abducted you and killed the others."

"And because of those bastards who killed her, you'll never get to see for yourself." Chloe said, wiping more tears.

"And Chlo, you gotta understand their side, too. Rebec-" Aubrey cut herself off when she noticed the look Chloe gave her, "Beca was wanted in every corner of the world. Even if she had lived, she'd probably get death sentence. So I'm sorry Chlo, I guess you and Beca were.. weren't meant to be."

"Yes, we were. If we weren't, she'd have killed me on the first night like she planned." Chloe explained. "We were meant to be. Our story was… just wasn't meant to have a happy ending."

"I'm sorry it had to be that way, Chlo. I really am." Aubrey said. "I think.. I think there's a way for you to keep Beca alive."

Chloe looked up at her, interested, though she was crying.

"What?" she asked.

"You're the only one who lived, the only who got to know the real Rebeca Mitchell." Aubrey said. "Write about that. Your experience, your love for her. She'll live through that. And maybe people will understand that she wasn't really a bad person."

Chloe was crying a little harder, but she wiped her tears and managed to smile at her blonde best friend.

"You're right." she said. "I'm gonna write a book about Beca. About us. To keep her alive. Through a memory."

Aubrey smiled and nodded, putting her hand on top of Chloe's.

"It's gonna be a huge success, everyone, and I mean everyone, worldwide is asking how did you survive. They're saying you're the female Harry Potter." Aubrey said.

Chloe giggled and hit her playfully on the arm.

"Shut up!" she said, giggling.

Aubrey giggled and smiled, seeing her friend slowly going back to normal.

oO0Oo

After she got home from court, Chloe went straight to writing her book. She had started it weeks ago and it was almost at half of the story. She was trying to put her time with Beca into details. She had already been invited to many talk shows to talk about her experience and she was thinking about accepting it. She even created a YouTube channel, but she hadn't decided yet when and if she was gonna upload a video about her experience with Beca.

Her book, "Beca Mitchell: the beauty behind the beast", was released on the sixth month anniversary of Beca's death. She had gone out to many talk shows, including Ellen, Good Morning America, Conan, and many others to talk about her book and experience. It wasn't about the fame. It was all about keeping Beca alive and every time she talked about her, she could feel her. As if she was right beside her. Sometimes, holding her hand.

Every night, Chloe could feel a presence lying with her on the bed. She could feel arms wrapped around her and she knew it was the brunette. So every night, before falling asleep, she said 'Good night, Beca. I love you', and even though she didn't hear it back, she felt the presence get stronger when she did. And she knew the brunette was with her.

Sometimes, Chloe wished Beca would've killed her to avoid the pain she felt everyday. But then, she would never have experienced the love they felt. The two connected in a way that can't be explained. Psychologists thought Beca was a psychopath, incapable of love, so how and why she fell in love with Chloe was a mystery. Why she kept her alive and felt she was worth giving up her habits for was beyond them.

"Beca Mitchell: the beauty behind the beast" turned out to be a best seller. Chloe later on posted a video, retelling the story in the book in a shorter way, which hit over 200 million views on YouTube. People wrote to her saying they also thought Beca shouldn't have died or that they thought the police were cowards, but they also said even though Beca turned out to be a good person, she still committed crimes and she would still need punishment even if she was alive. Chloe understood all that, even though she wished it wasn't true.

So now, Chloe believed this was meant to happen. Beca was meant to die and Chloe was meant to live in order for the world to know that Beca Mitchell was not a bad person. That people never hear the 'bad guy's version of things. Chloe had a purpose and it was to tell Beca's story. And she accepted this. She ended up writing another book, another best seller, telling about her thoughts through all this. Falling in love with a cannibal, having her die in her arms and being famous worldwide for it. She never thought her life would take such a turn, but she embraced it.

However, there was not one moment when Beca wasn't in Chloe's mind. She always thought about the brunette. She would sigh and wish that maybe in another life, the two would be able to be together. Finally. Or in the afterlife.

Yeah. Maybe the would.
