Chapter 1

It was yet another spring break. Beca watched the students of Barden from her window head out the dormitory with their luggage's ready for a fun filled spring break with their family and friends. Beca could be one of them but she hated the fact that she'd be stuck in some fancy resort together with her dad and step monster.

"c'mon Becs! It'll be fun!", a red head was standing in front of her, lecturing her about how it's not good to be alone when you've just had a break up, convincing Beca to come with her. She's so damn annoying at being thoughtful, but I can't figure it out. I'm not giving in, and that's final!

"Why are you here in my room again, Chlo?", an annoyed Beca asked with one brow raised.

"Because… I want you to come with me! It's not advisable to be moping around when you've just had a break up…", wooop! There she goes! I told ya! "Seriously Becs, read something on the internet… And… well…"

There was silence, Chloe was looking a little uneasy, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't. It's probably something she's sure I'd make fun of, Beca snorted in her mind.

"Chlo?... C'mon, Chlo… Spit it out.", Beca teased her.

"Okay, fine! I really need some company Becs… My family is out of the country, I'm not in contact with my old friends from home, I have the farm house to myself… What am I suppose to do? Listen to Titanium all day, do my lady ja—"

"Okay! Oh god! Hold up there, red. I don't really need the details.", Beca cut off Chloe as she covered both ears with her hands. "Okay", she slowly dropped her hands down, "Chlo, as much as I love hanging out with you when we're not match pitching and consistently getting screamed at by Aubrey, I really don't want to go. I'm just gonna stay here, mix some stuff up and take the night shift at the radio station."

'Unbelievable little pitch!', Chloe thought, while glaring at the brunette with mouth dropped open. She exactly knows why Beca is being this way, the fact that she is this way and that Jesse just broke up with her to be with some hot blonde who wouldn't sleep on his cheesy movies.

"I'm not leaving here 'til you say yes.", Chloe smiled confidently at her.

"Are you being serious right now?!", Beca's eyes widened.

Ha! It's on, Mitchell!, thought Chloe. "Dixie chicks serious.", with a wink.

She finally threw her hands in surrender and moved to pack, and Chloe was now wearing her triumphant smile… That beautiful smile Beca always loved seeing on Chloe's face. She's just so amazed at how bubbly and positive and strong Chloe can be. No one can definitely say 'No' to this red head.

"Bec's, I swear you aregonna love it there! We could soak in the pool all day, play video games, feed the chickens, ride bikes; I'm even willing to show you my baking skills…"

"Wait—, are you saying we're just going to hang out at your place? I mean in the four walls of your house? Like, not go out for movies and shop at the mall?"

"Ugh. Bec's, first of all, you hate movies and you don't go shopping, second, we have a home theatre so it's really unnecessary to go to a movie house.", Chloe answered almost irritatingly from all of Beca's doubting questions. Nevertheless, the brunette couldn't back out now that they're on a cab to the airport, and happy kido red head right here have booked them tickets to a flight to Tennessee. Jesus Christ!

When they arrived Nashville International Airport, Beca could already hear 'em country accent and mellow country songs. Oh great, now I'm doing a country accent with my own mind, she thought. They took another cab to get to the Beale's farm house. Really, she never pictured Chloe for a country person, she's just so California (hoping not to be a racist of states). But yes, Chloe did live in California; they just have this family farm house where all her family members would gather in except now that her family had gone on vacation to another country.

In the cab, Chloe sat in silence while Beca had her headphones on, looking out the window, the suburbs slowly fading and was now replaced by farm houses and well, farms. Duh. Then the farm houses began to be distant from one another. Beca couldn't help but think, 'where does this girl even live? In the middle of the woods?', she took off her headphones and turned to Chloe as the farm houses had gone from their view.

"Uh… Chlo?"

"Hmm?", she turned to Beca with a smile. That smile never leaves her face, this girl is unbelievably a bubbly girl.

"Do you still know where your farm house is or are we getting lost? You know it's getting dark right?"

She laughed at the question, "Of course Beca! You know I always come to visit here every spring break right?"

"Oh… right… then—", Beca halted when they entered a large gate surrounded by absolutely nothing but grass. It was a wide open space, not a house in sight; all she could see as far as she could are the mountains meeting the sky. "Wow…", Beca whispered. She didn't even know she had said that out loud until she heard Chloe giggle.

After entering the gate, it seemed to have taken a while before they reached Chloe's 'farm house'. Beca's mouth dropped open she thought it had reached the floor. They were out of the cab and she swore her mouth would not close now.

"Are you fucking serious!? You said farm house!", she turned to Chloe with a very very shocked expression.

"It is a farm house….. It just happens to be… well… Really huge…", Chloe smiled and shrugged at Beca, trying to make it sound like it's not a big deal.

"Wow, red. You are really humble. You know that?", trying to make a sarcastic joke to Chloe.

"I try, Becs… I try…", answered Chloe as she pulled the brunette to their farm mansion.

When they stepped inside, "Beca, are you having a lock jaw?", Chloe was getting a little worried at how the brunette's mouth was still open. With that, Beca closed her mouth and shook her head but she was obviously still in a daze. It was beautiful inside the house. It was like a country hotel or something, Beca thought. The furniture, lights, curtains, everything is just so fancy and sparkly clean she got intimidated to touch anything.

"Hey, Bec's, when you're done being amazed I'll show you to our room and the whole property."

Beca snapped out her reverie, "our room?", her eyes widen.

Chloe scoffed at her, "Yeah, silly! It's a really huge place, I don't want to constantly get a taxi to get to you.", okay, she was being exaggerate but she's right, she knows the place, it'd be a real inconvenience to walk a mile from room to room.

When they got to their room, or rather Chloe's room, it was huge. It had its own bathroom. The closet was probably the size of her dorm room in Barden. As Beca arranged her stuff, she couldn't help to look around, especially the pictures Chloe had displayed. Pictures of her family, her and Aubrey, the Bella's – the ones she and Aubrey had been in, and the Bella's who are now them… and…. is that?... ME? Beca jumped a little from seeing her picture with Chloe, one she didn't even know Chloe took. It was like a candid shot but they were both smiling. Beca turned to see if Chloe was looking at her, but thank god, she's busy unpacking her things to the bed. 'Aca-awkward', Beca thought as she rolled her eyes. Why would Chloe have a picture of them both and display it in her room? I get that she has a picture of her and Aubrey, but with me?, Beca snorted. Chloe was just as close as other Bella's as she was with her. Maybe she hasn't put them up yet or she hasn't found a candid shot of the others, or—

"Becs?"

The brunette jumped letting a shirt she was holding fly from her hand. "Jesus Christ, Chlo! Would you knock?"

Chloe laughed at how startled Beca was, "There's no door becs, and we're pretty much in the same room, so…", Chloe stopped and traced where Beca's eyes were; which was on the photos. The red head then stepped in front of her like she had intended to block Beca from seeing them.

Beca looked up at Chloe because Beca was kneeling since her luggage is on the floor. "If I would've been a man, I would've loved the view from down here before I looked up.", she said cockily at Chloe.

"Shut up, Becs. Will you just get up so I can show you around before it gets dark?", Chloe scowled at her.

Chloe toured Beca around the inside of the house first, and man, she was glad she didn't insist on getting a separate room from Chloe. The brunette was sure she'd still get lost if she was to find her own way there. After the 'interior' tour, it's time to see the grounds. "Woah!", Beca couldn't help herself from exclaiming. "You are a stinking rich family, Beale!", the front yard was huge, but the back yard was endless! There had been a pool situated right out the back side of the house, a silo over to the right, and a barn to the left, and then it was all land; and it belonged to the Beale's.

The red head smiled at the horizon upon Beca's comments. Beca then turned her head to see Chloe who was standing beside her, her red hair almost looked like it were catching fire as the sun's orange rays touched them, her face half lightened half shadowed, and the brunette couldn't help thinking how beautiful Chloe looked; especially with that smile – so vulnerable, so innocent, so warm, so—

"Can I help you?", Chloe was looking at Beca now as the brunette hurried to look away, Chloe couldn't help laughing at her.

"You are really starting to enjoy this constant 'startling-me-around', are you, red?", Beca looked at Chloe again as she shook her head in disagreement to Chloe's actions.

"Well… You…", Chloe poked Beca's arm, "were really enjoying your view…"

Damnit. She really caught me looking at her. Find a loop hole, Becs. Hurry!

Beca scoffed, "Uh, yeah! You have a really lovely backyard…"

"Backyard?...", Chloe snorted, "Sure Becs, 'cause you were really looking at our backyard…", Chloe was teasing her as she walked back inside.

"I was!...", Beca followed her.

"Uh-huh, yeah I believe you…", clearly not believing Beca.

"Chlooooeeeee!", Beca charged playfully at Chloe, as the red head turned and pretended to be really scared and ran away, they were both laughing, playing like little children. Beca caught Chloe and they fell to the floor with the brunette on top, Beca then must have fell so hard unable to land her hand to stop her from crashing completely at Chloe, that she did. Her head landed on Chloe's and so did her lips. It was a hard fall, they probably busted their lips but it lingered. Instead of feeling some pain, she only felt her soft lips not minding what Chloe—Chloe! Oh no, I have to get up, I'm probably crushing her right now. Beca's eyes fluttered to see Chloe beginning to close hers like they were really kissing intentionally. She stood up before anything else weirder would happen.

"Chlo, are you alright? I am so sorry…", she reached a hand to help Chloe up. She was expecting for the red to be mad at her but only saw the look of disappointment.

Hesitantly, Chloe grabbed Beca's hand and stood up so close to her. "Um.. Sure Becs, I'm fine… We were just—", awkward again… They were staring into each other's blue eyes now. Perfect! This day could not just get any more awkward. Not even the fact that they were the only ones lurking this galactic-sized house.

Beca looked down and turned away from Chloe, and so did the red head. To break the awkward situation, Chloe suddenly laughed loud, "so, what you wanna eat, Becs?", she turned to face Beca again with a huge smile like nothing weird just happened.

"Oh, you know me, Chlo, I like something very fancy… or if there's no fancy food available, I'm down with mac n cheese.", and they both laughed. Wtf? We just kissed, stupid! Don't act like I don't know you noticed, Beca said to Chloe in her mind as Chloe turned around for the cupboard, and opened it showing the items inside…

"Yay! Mac n'cheese it is!", there's Chloe's childish smile again. Ahhh… Why is she just beautiful? What!? Beca, Stop it! Stop! Stop talking to yourself too! Gahdamnit.

After the not-so-awkward dinner, thank god, the two managed to come up with conversations to cover up what had happen to them earlier. They talked about a lot of funny moments they experienced with the other Bellas, how they argued about Aubrey hating Beca and Chloe insisting that she doesn't, school, how secretly Chloe was intentionally failing her Russian lit to hold her back another year at Barden, the new mix Beca was working on; just pretty much anything under the sun…

"Hey, Becs, guess what time it is?", Chloe popped out from her dorm room sized closet with a grin at Beca who was lying lazily on the bed.

"Chloe giving Beca a foot rub time?", the brunette answered with a teeth showing smile.

The red head scoffed, running towards the bed and jumping on top of Beca (this time was not awkward at all as it was earlier). "It's movie time, silly Becky."

Beca gave out a look of disgust and amusement. Silly Becky? Gross. "Yeah, Chlo. Don't call me that.", and she pushed Chloe gently off her as she stood up. "So, let's go see that movie, eh? I'm excited!", trying her best to be sarcastic.

"Nice try, Becs. Come here!", Chloe pulled Beca back and she climbed on her back. Beca went a little off balance but then managed; she was carrying Chloe all the way to their theatre room which was a little far from their bedroom. Although Beca was a small woman, she was surprisingly strong, she could lift heavy objects; maybe from all that lifting of her equipments… After a few turns left and right with Chloe on Beca's back pointing to which direction they go, they have finally reached the home theatre room. Chloe was right; a movie house was unnecessary… and probably far. It had a huge screen and comfortable seats; more comfortable than the ones in the move house.

Chloe settled beside Beca after putting on the DVD for the movie. She grabbed Beca's arm and laid her head on the brunette's shoulder. Beca couldn't help but widen her eyes and stare puzzled at the red head, but she was only looking at the screen.

"Ehem… Getting comfortable, are we, Ms. Beale?"

"Ssssh! The movie's starting, Becs. Don't talk to me.", Beca only rolled her eyes. She never cared much about movies and Chloe knew this, but what else were they suppose to do? Listen to Titanium and let Chloe do her lady jam? What?! Shut up, brain! What the hell am I thinking now? Oh my god, this place is cursed. Should I tell Chloe? No! She'll think I'm crazy. I'm totally possessed by a—

"Beca!"

"Huh, what?", Chloe's loud call snapped her back to reality.

"I was asking if you're okay. I mean, you were breathing really fast.", and indeed she was. Beca closed her eyes and pulled herself together when she felt her soft hands on her cheek. Oh god, pls don't do that, Chlo.

"Beca? Are you okay? What's wrong Becs? Tell me…", Chloe was concerned now, she cupped Beca's cheeks with both hands as Beca opened her eyes only to find Chloe's face so close to hers.

They were both breathing hard as Chloe slowly pulled back from the kiss. What the hell? How did this happen?, Beca asked herself, she didn't even remember how it started. There was a long awkward silence 'til Chloe stood up and walked pass Beca.

"Chloe, wait…"

"No, Becs… We shouldn't be doing what we just did. That was really awkward, and to be honest? I don't want to ruin our friendship because something like that happened. We're best friends; like how Fat Amy, Cynthia, Lily, Stacie and the others are to Me.", wow, cut me real deep, Chlo. Beca couldn't hide her disappointment from what Chloe had said. But alas, what she said was true. The brunette then nodded, "You're right, that was a wrong move. I didn't know what came up on us but I hope it doesn't come up again… Anyway, want to finish the movie?", Beca tried to say this as brightly as she could.

"Nah… We should just get to bed, we'll forget about it this in the morning."
