A/N: This is my first Fanfic I created a profile because it really stood out in my head so please don't judge it too harshly. Any feed back is welcome, I'm not good with the songs it's more about the plot so if you want to give me ideas feel free. I know some characters may seem a little OOC but it has been 10 years since the film. The first 2 chapters are more about setting the scene because of the time gap. Chapter 3 onward is when the plot really begins so just be aware that this isn't the set up for the other chapters. Some people do disclaimers and some don't so to be on the safe side,
Disclaimer: I do not own Pitch Perfect or any of the Characters etc.
So on with the first chapter.
Chapter 1
Beca woke up that morning dreading what was to come. It was the 10 years Anniversary of the Bellas revoking a particular part of their oath and as it was 10 years all the Bellas and Trebles of the last 10 years had been invited to a weeklong celebration. It also doubled as the 9 year anniversary of the oath being reinstated. She couldn't really believe what had happened. Everything was going so well when suddenly everything seemed to fall apart. The competition, lies, set ups and pure coincidences had bred fights and distrust and suddenly everything was wrong and all too fast it seemed too late to right it.
The truce had lasted only a year, her second year at Barden. Looking back now she could see her mistakes. Not that she could then, or that she could change them now. Things had gone downhill fast and though she stuck to it as leader all four years the damage was never undone. By the time they graduated the Bellas and Trebles weren't just heated rivals they were hated vicious enemies. She still wondered how a joint anniversary was a good idea, or how it was even arranged. Even their fans were sworn enemies, who had managed to talk to both sides and organise for both groups to be there she didn't know.
Opening her eyes she saw the sun shining into the room. She couldn't believe she had got here. After everything that happened at college. Here she was in L.A. living the dream. Her career had taken off. She lived in a big house with a pool and a gardener and maids. Everything people always dreamed of. She had cars and money and fame. None of this really mattered to her. It had taken a while but finally she had realised the one thing that really mattered and that was really important was family. It sounded cliché she knew. Just like in all his movies but it was true. The man in her bed and the two beautiful children sleeping just down the hall that this perfect man had given her meant the entire world to her.
She still struggled to believe that this really was true. After all the trouble they had caused in college here they were married. It had been after graduation. They had met up again, it had taken a while to sort through their past but soon it all seemed to fall away and they were together, none of it mattered, everything was perfect. It seemed like a dream. He proposed and she said yes, soon they were married and then she was pregnant and soon she had everything she ever dreamed of.
Still she had to go to the reunion. Duties of a Bella woman and all that. In all honesty she was a little afraid, not that she would ever admit it, of what she would find, of what people would say seeing her after all the trouble she had caused, the war she had created, walking in married to the same person she created in with and because of. She couldn't wait to see her friends all together again and meet the new Bellas that had succeeded them. All the same she was not looking forward to the judgment that she knew would be passed. She wondered if the new ones even knew the story, the real whole story. If they did maybe they would all hate her more. She had moved on. She had gotten over it truly but that didn't mean everyone else had. After all her and Jesse weren't the only ones who were hurt. She had split people up in her war, turned lovers to enemies just like she had with her own boyfriend. Still she knew she had to go back, it was time to face the music, and with her husband at her side she felt she could do anything. She had no idea where she would be without him.
She came out of her musings; it was time to get up. She was wrapped in his arms.
"Jesse," she whispered, "it's time to get up, you have to let me move." There was no response. She rolled her eyes, okay maybe she had gone soft but she wasn't a totally different person, raising her voice slightly "Hey nerd, Wake up" she called in his ear. It had half the desired effect. He didn't wake up but he did release her and roll over, allowing her to remove herself from the bed. Not that she wanted to, she would happily spend her day here but her father was coming to pick up the kids as he was going to look after them for the week so they could go to the reunion kid free as was recommended on the invitation. She knew what that meant: be prepared for a lot of drinking. She climbed out of bed and headed for the en suite bathroom. As she reached for the door knob she heard a moan followed by a sharp jab in the ribs. Everything seemed to be going dark as she fell.
She woke up with a jump. She opened her eyes reluctantly. She really didn't want to wake up and get up today. She had to pack for the reunion and she really didn't want to go. As her eyes adjusted to the light she took in her apartment, a slight glow of light just managing to creep into her apartment through the yellowing net curtains at the window. It was nothing glamorous, one room, a small bathroom and a stove with a gas four ring hob on top, she didn't even want to think what would happen if she tried light it. She carefully clambered out of bed. She looked around trying to gather herself together. That dream had seemed so real. 'Great' she thought to herself. 'I'm already dreaming about him,' this was going to be a long week, not to mention she had to spend even longer there as she lived in L.A., at least the part of her dream about her career was true. She was living in L.A. and she was doing really well with her career producing music at a top record label like she always wanted, in fact they wanted to keep her enough that they had given her two weeks off instead of the one she had begrudgingly requested, hoping it be denied and she could honestly write back explaining that she couldn't get time off work. Sometimes life really didn't go her way.
She had lost contact with everyone after she graduated and moved away to follow her dream, it had seemed too painful. She had even lost touch with her parents, her dad had been shocked when she rang up for the first time in 7 years to ask if she could stay with him the first night when she landed then she would move into a hotel, she cursed that the hotels were all unavailable for that one night, again the world was against her.
Grabbing some clean underwear she headed to the bathroom. As she reached the door she turned back to the bed. Lying on the bed covered only by a bed sheet was a brown haired man. She wondered briefly whether to wake him. She smirked, she'd let him sleep, he'd be very tired after last night. She'd wake him up after her shower, she thought as she slipped into the bathroom and closed the door.
So That's the first chapter let me know what you think and as everyone else says it just this once, Read and Review.
