Chloe, Beca and Amy are back at their apartment.
Beca is in the other room on a call with Theo. Chloe and Amy are talking about their new careers.
Chloe – Oh god, he's replied.
Amy – Who's replied to what?
Chloe – (sigh) I messaged Chicago to say that I got a bit carried away the other day and that I think we should just be friends because, you know, realistically a relationship would never work because of our jobs.
Amy – Oh…what's his number?
Chloe gives Amy a disapproving look.
Amy – I'm kidding. I suppose you're right though, I mean, look what happened to Beca and Jesse...Bumper and I….long distance sucks. Plus, knowing you, you'd want to be with him every second of every day.
Chloe – Exactly! (then realising what Amy said) Wait, what?
Amy – What?
Chloe – Whatever.
Amy – But there's no harm in trying. I mean he seems like a nice guy.
Chloe – Yeah I guess. There's just other things on my mind right now. (her mind wanders off) Right let's see what he's said. (reading aloud) Hey Chloe. I totally get where you're coming from, we never really got to know a lot about each other. To be honest, I was waiting for you after you got off stage to tell you exactly what you're telling me now but, you know…aca-awkward…sorry that was lame. (she is cut off by Amy)
Amy – He did not just say that.
Chloe – Aca-believe it, he just did. (back to the text message) But I hope everything goes well for you Chloe. I kinda wish things were different but your face doesn't just light up the way it does for anyone…and I saw exactly who it lit up for. (her voice trails off) All my best Chicago from Georgia.
Amy – Uhhhh okay. What?
Chloe stares at her phone.
Amy – (teasing her) Chloe! Oh my god he saw it too.
Chloe – Saw what?
Amy – Oh come on, now is not the time to be ditzy. (Getting serious) I've seen the way you two look at each other.
Chloe - Me and Beca are just good friends okay.
Amy - Oh and Aubrey told me about your little moment behind the bushes. (Chloe laughs and shakes her head. Amy realises what Chloe just said) Wait…rewind. You knew who I was talking about, I never even mentioned Beca's name.
Chloe – (flustered) Yeah, yeah you did cause how else would I…(Amy cuts her off)
Amy – (her eyes getting wider) You're in love with Beca effin' Mitchell!
Chloe – Shhhhh! She's in the other room!
Amy – Oh my god. Jessica, or was it Ashley…anyway one of them owes me twenty dollars!
Chloe – (confused) You had a bet?
Amy – If that's what you want to call it. (Chloe is embarrassed) Come on, Chlo. We all know you both have feelings for each other it's so obvious. Don't tell me you haven't saw the way Beca looks at you. (Chloe doesn't respond) Chloe!
Chloe – Yes! Okay…yes, but you never really know with Beca do you so…
Amy – You can't ignore this Chloe. You've been ignoring it for too long now. You both have.
Chloe – I'm just scared, okay, I'm scared. What if…what if I tell her how I feel and she doesn't feel the same. I don't want to ruin our friendship.
Amy – It's okay to be scared but trust me Chloe, she does feel the same. I'm an expert at reading signs. (Chloe doesn't look hopeful) You know what Beca's like with her feelings anyway.
Chloe – I suppose your right. What did you mean by 'it was so obvious'?
Amy – Like that time at aca-initiation when you basically jumped on Beca…yeah I saw that.
Chloe – (embarrassed) I was drunk okay, I… (Amy cuts her off again.)
Amy – A drunk mind speaks a sober heart. (Chloe doesn't have a comeback) At bootcamp when you slept next to each other but more than all that, it's the looks you give each other. Not subtly by the way.
Chloe – (giving in) Okay, fine. I'll talk to her. (Deep breath) I need some Dutch courage, do we have any alcohol?
Amy – Chloe. No!
Chloe – I'm joking. I think.
Amy – I'm proud of you Chlo. (Amy checks her phone for the time) Oh...erm, I have somewhere to be but we will continue this conversation later okay? Unless Beca gets to you first. (she winks)
Chloe – Wait where are you going?
Amy – (tries to think of something else to say but then blurts out) I'm just going out with Zeke.
Chloe – Zeke?
Amy – (grabbing her jacket. Talking quickly) Yeah remember Zeke? Yeah he's in town. It's just the two of us, one on one, intimate.
Chloe – Wait, what? (Amy grabs her bag and runs towards the door) When are you back?
Amy – 13 hours or so. That'll give you two enough time to… (sensually) Talk. Bye!
Chloe – (shouing) Amy!
(Amy runs out. Chloe collapses back on the bed and stares at the celling, smiling. Sigh of relief after acknowledging her feelings.)
(Chloe puts in her headphones and closes her eyes, thinking of what to say to Beca.)
Beca – (finished her phone call) Chlo, you'll never guess… (Notices Chloe is sleeping. She stares at Chloe and a smile lights up her face. She grabs a towel and goes for a shower.)
Chloe – (wakes up to a text from Amy) Everybody loves a good Bloe. (She giggles) Classic Amy.
(Chloe gets up and heads to the bathroom. Music still playing in her ears)
Beca – (shocked and grabbing her towel) Dude! You gotta stop doing this. Didn't you hear the water running?
Chloe – (flustered. Drops phone. Earphones fall out.) Oh my god, I'm sorry. I was listening to music. (Music still plays faintly)
Beca – Jesus Christ man, honestly.
Chloe – Calm down Beca, I obviously didn't mean to walk in on you showering. (Tries to make a joke) I've seen it all before.
Beca – (Staring at Chloe) Yeah, I know. (pause) We need that lock fixed it keeps falling off.
Chloe – (sighing) Okay, yeah. Fine.
(Music stops. Silence for a few seconds then, simultaneously say each other's name.)
Beca – You go first. (wrapping her towel tighter around herself)
Chloe – (deep breath) Okay. So, Chicago and I have decided not to take our relationship, or whatever we had, any further. (Beca tries to hide her smile although Chloe notices. Gives her confidence to go on) So yeah, there's that. (Moves closer to Beca, stepping on her earphones causing the playlist to re-start.) Listen Beca…I've had these feelings for a while and I wasn't sure if you would feel the same or like…I just didn't know (speaking faster) so I kept them to myself for ages but all the other girls have noticed…(Beca interrupts)
Beca – (jokingly) Jesus Christ, you can talk for America.
Chloe – No Beca, I'm trying to tell you something. (Chloe takes a breath but before she can say anything else Beca strokes the side of Chloe's face. Chloe moves forward, stepping on the volume button on her earphones causing the playlist to restart.)
Chloe – (getting emotional) Beca, watching you up on stage doing your thing…it made me realise just how much you mean to me. I want to celebrate all of your success with you. (a tear falls from Beca's eye. She quickly wipes it away. Chloe jokes) Have I finally made Beca Mitchell cry?
Beca – Shut up, man. You know I'm not good with this sort of thing but…I will say that seeing you and Chicago kiss…(voice breaking) it kinda broke my heart.
Chloe – Beca I'm so sorry.
Beca - No, no. It made me realise how much… (Hesitates) How much I…(distracted by the music)
Chloe – Beca?
Beca – Shhh, listen. Can you hear that?
(Titanium is playing faintly through Chloe's earphones. Moment of realisation.)
Beca – If that isn't a sign, I don't know what is. (Beca takes Chloe's face in her hands and kisses her.) You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do that.
Chloe – Probably the same amount of time I've waited for that too.
(they both giggle)
Beca – I love you Chloe. (Jokingly) I mean, I love you awesome nerd.
Chloe – (laughs) I love you too, Beca.
(They kiss again as Titanium gets louder. The camera pans down to the phone lying on the ground showing off Chloe's screen wallpaper of her and Beca. They get more passionate as Chloe's hand slides down the bathroom mirror which is dripping with condensation. The hand print she leaves behind shows them kissing and Beca's towel falls down and lands on top of Chloe's phone cutting out the music)
