Beca Mitchell looked at the picture on her phone one more time. She then glanced around the diner to make sure she didn't miss the girl she was waiting for. She couldn't believe she let her cousin, Stacie, talk her into a blind date. The only good thing was she did get a picture of the girl after threatening Stacie; sort of. The girl, Chloe, was pretty enough, at least from what she could tell from the picture. The picture was a group shot of the Barden Bellas and Chloe was behind two other girls and no matter how much she expanded the photo she couldn't get a clear look at Chloe excpet to note she had red hair.
She glanced at her phone one more time and looked up to the door when she heard the bell. There was a gorgeous girl with fiery red hair and the bluest eyes she had ever seen looking around the diner. "Wow," Beca thought. "I hope that's her." Beca grabbed the single red rose she had picked up on her way to the diner and walked over to the girl. "Hi, I'm Beca. Are you Chloe, Stacie's friend," she asked.
The girl smiled and said "Yes, I am. It's nice to meet you."
Beca handed Chloe the rose and said, "I already got a table for us." Chloe followed her over and they both sat down. It was quiet for few minutes while both girls sat there somewhat uncomfortably.
"Thank you for the rose," Chloe said breaking the silence.
"You're welcome. So, how long have you known Stacie?" Beca asked.
"About 4 years. We both joined the Barden Bellas together during freshman year." replied Chloe.
"Oh, yeah. The a capella group where you don't use any instruments, all the music and sounds come from your mouths." Beca said. "I remember Stacie talking about it-" Beca started but was cut off by something that sounded like a gunshot. Both girls jerked their heads toward the sound. Standing outside was a man that looked to be a good 6-foot tall glaring into the diner.
"Oh my God!" Chloe exclaimed. "That's my ex-boyfriend, Tom."
Beca's head turned quickly to Chloe and back to the door as the bell signalled that Tom had entered the diner. He quickly looked around the diner until he saw Chloe. He raised his gun and started walking over toward her and Beca. "You! You fucking bitch! You left me for some girl! Nobody dumps Tom Davis, especially for a girl!" He screamed at Chloe.
Without thinking, Beca grabbed Chloe and threw her on the ground using her body as a shield. Tom had started shooting just before Beca made her move. He was so focused on the two girls that two of the waiters and a couple of customers were able to jump him. They subdued him and got the gun away. Someone else was calling 911 and asked if anyone was hit.
Beca got up once she knew the shooting had stopped. She put her hand out to help Chloe up and Chloe just sat on the ground staring at her. Beca looked down and then looked over the woman on the phone with 911 and said "I think I need an ambulance." Chloe was able to grab her before she hit the ground.
