Authors Note: I do not own any of the Pitch Perfect characters, I am merely borrowing them for this story. This is my first FanFic so any and all feedback is most welcome and wanted. Any questions or anything that isn't clear let me know. Also in this story Beca and Jesse never had a romantic relationship.

Lost! Beca could always lose herself looking at photos of her and the Bella's. Photos of their first ICCA win, of house parties, slumber parties and of course worlds. They were good times. If Beca was honest with herself they were the best years of her life. The most alive she had ever been. But life always keeps moving and people moved on, life moved on.

At first staying in touch with the Bella's had been easy, daily texts and skype chats, group emails, Beca could almost pretend that they were all still together, still living under the same roof. But as time moved forward daily texts become weekly, then monthly, then just on special occasions like birthdays. It was easier then she thought it would be to push these girls away. To push Chloe away. The girls that brought her out of her shell, the girls that made her feel alive, the girls that taught her to love, the girls that gave her purpose. They slowly drifted out of her circle, out of her life. Beca knew it was unreasonable but she felt abandoned by them, she knew them drifting apart was her fault but she couldn't help but resent them for it. For letting her push them away. If they hadn't made her love them and rely on them she wouldn't feel like this. Feel this loneliness that seems to settle so deep inside her its apart of her bones, her very soul. Sometimes Beca wishes she could go back to being that naïve, unaware girl she was when she started college, she wishes she could remove this self-awareness. Remove the part of herself that is completely honest, even brutally so. But she can't. She knows herself and she knows it was within her control not to lose the Bella's. But sometimes it's easier to be lonely and miserable, when you have known that feeling for so much of your life, it's just easier to go back to it.

It's been 10 years since the Bella's won the World's and although Beca loves to spend a lot her time looking back at those years and remembering the good times, when presented with a chance to see these girls again at "The Bella's Reunion" organised by the one and only Aubrey Posen, Beca is frozen in fear. Can she invite these girls back into her life again, even only for a night? Can she know what it's like to have their presence next to her again only to feel the absence of it after it's over? More importantly is she brave enough to find out how they have all lived and blossomed without her? How they could so easily live without their badass DJ? But the hardest question plaguing Beca's thoughts as she reads and re-reads the invitation is, can she face Chloe?

The invitation is for a weekend together back at the old Bella's House in Atlanta. A whole weekend with the girls that meant the world to her. A whole weekend with THE girl that meant the world to her. How could she deny herself that? She couldn't no matter how much of a masochist she thought she was. She couldn't deny herself this. So she picks up the invite and her phone and sends her rsvp through.

Beca M: Aubrey, I will be there, Beca Mitchell.

After she hit send she couldn't help but remember the last time she saw the blonde, after the tumultuous start to their friendship over the years Beca had grown to love and respect her old nemesis. They had built a strong friendship over the years, one built firmly on friendly banter and a strong protectiveness of the one and only Chloe Beale. If it was one thing Beca and Aubrey could agree on it was always wanting the best for the bubbly red-head.

Beca stands in the crowded airport looking up at the departures board, bags packed at her feet and large coffee grasped tightly in her hand, headphones hanging around her neck. This was it. This was what she had been working towards for as long as she could remember. Her flight departed in less then 2 hours but instead of being excited she felt guilty. Maybe sneaking out of the Bella's house with only a not as a goodbye was the wrong move. Not maybe it definitely was the wrong move. But Beca couldn't say goodbye. Not to these girls. Not to Chloe. Not after the last few weeks she had gone through, she couldn't say goodbye to another person. So here she stood, staring at the departure board, wondering what her future would hold and that's when she feels a tap on her shoulder. As Beca turns she never would of guessed that Aubrey Posen would be standing behind her. "Aubrey?" Beca questions, "What are you doing here?"

"You really thought I would let you leave without saying goodbye Mitchell?" Aubrey says.

"I was kinda counting on it" Beca Smirks back. Aubrey looks less than impressed, in fact she looks kind of hurt by Beca's sarcastic remark.

"Beca, I know these last few weeks"

"Don't" Beca cuts her off, "I can't Aubrey. I just can't"

Aubrey nods her head in understanding, "at lease let me have a coffee with you before your flight starts boarding, it is 6 am after all"

Beca smiles and nods her head. They find a couch in the waiting area near the windows and sit watching the plains land and take off. They sit in silence for a good 15 minutes before Aubrey breaks the silence.

"You know you're going to regret not saying goodbye" she says.

"I left a note"

"A note? A note Beca? Don't you think the girls deserve more than that? That Chloe deserves more than just a note?"

"Aubrey" and there is a sternness in Beca's voice that Aubrey hasn't heard before, Beca's jaw is clenched so tightly it looks like she the veins in her neck are going to pop.

"Let's just enjoy these coffees, I don't want to fight with you, not now" Beca says though the strain in her voice is evident. Aubrey can clearly tell that Beca is at war with herself.

"Ok, I'm sorry" Aubrey concedes. Beca shoots her a disbelieving look. Aubrey never backs down, especially when it came to Beca.

"ok?" Beca questions. Aubrey nods "ok, I don't want to fight with you either and as much I don't agree with you sneaking out, there is a part of me that understands it. But you know Chloe won't"

"I know" Beca says. "You'll look after her right?"

"Of course I will Beca, but who is going to look after you?" Aubrey asks.

"Flight 294 Atlanta to Los Angeles is now boarding at gate 23"

"Saved by bell" Beca smirks as she stands up and grabs her bags. Aubrey smiles and wraps her arms around her "Look after yourself Mitchell"

"You too Posen"

As Beca walks away Aubrey wonders if she really will look after herself.

The buzzing of her phone breaks Beca of her reverie.

Aubrey P: It will be good to see you Mitchell, I know Chloe especially will be glad to see you.
