Beca knew she would eventually end up in LA. While her father had no belief in her goals, music production was her dream and she was hell-bent on seeing it through. She was nothing, if not stubborn.
She would be the first to admit that her life's ambition got a little side tracked in college, but looking back, there wasn't much she would change about her journey at Barden. Just a couple things...
Firstly, she would not have gotten involved with Jesse Swanson. Beca knew nearly from the beginning that the relationship wouldn't last. They were essentially incompatible. Her confused feelings about Chloe Beale hadn't helped. Their ending had been bruising and painful for both of them.
Secondly, Chloe Beale.
Beca had always had conflicted feelings about the redhead. On the one hand, Chloe had been her closest friend at Barden. From their meeting at the activities fair, to the awkward shower scene, to Chloe's protective (jealous?) reaction to the Kommissar, and finally to Chloe's comment about "experimenting" in college. Chloe Beale was Beca's muse. She loved Chloe, but not that way.
Beca was certain that she was straight. She liked men, and although her sexual experience with them had been limited to a couple drunken one-time hookups and Jesse, she couldn't say it was bad. Unfulfilling, but not bad.
But on a handful of occassions, usually when she was sleep-deprived and irritable, she would fall into a fitfull sleep and dream. The dream was almost always the same. She dreamt of Chloe, of sex with Chloe, and would wake up in a cold sweat, panting. In the days following those dreams, she would avoid contact with Chloe Beale at all costs. If they had to interact, at say at a rehearsal, Beca would insure that there was no way Chloe could invade her personal space. And she would try forgetting about those dreams.
And so it went, through four years of college, through ICCA's and World A Capella championships to graduation. She would miss her muse, naturally, but she would not miss the conflicted and confusing feelings.
She was boarding a plane to LAX and to the next chapter in the life of Beca Effing Mitchell.
