'BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!' Beca could hear her alarm going off in her dorm, she knew if she didn't turn it off soon it would annoy her roommate. Kimmy Jin, Beca's roommate, was almost always grumpy and this would make her mood worse. But this morning, Beca didn't care about Kimmy Jin. She honestly felt like shit! She reached out from under her covers and turned the alarm off, but then she pulled her arm back under the covers and stayed there. She stayed there for a few minutes until she got a reminder text from Aubrey.

'Just a reminder Bellas, we have a rehearsal this morning at 8AM sharp! If any of you are late, there will be extra cardio involved, for everyone! But if you want everyone to be annoyed at you, including me, that's your choice!'

Beca sighed as she read the text. She knew Aubrey didn't like her very much, so she decided she should get out of bed and go to practice, considering it was already 7:15AM. She slowly got out of bed, groaning as she went. Beca Mitchell did not feel like getting out of bed this morning, she did not feel like going to Bellas practice and she did not feel like going to classes! For the first time in a while, Beca Mitchell felt sick. She had a throbbing headache, her throat felt like there was sand paper inside it and she couldn't breathe through her nose.

When she originally woke up, her plan was to stay in bed all day. That way she wouldn't have to see anybody, especially the Bellas. But she knew if she didn't go to this rehearsal, Aubrey would practically bite her head off when she found her! She picked up her phone again and looked at the time, 7:20AM. She then practically jumped out of bed, well she got out of bed as quickly as she could. She was going to be late for Bellas practice if she stayed still any longer. Kimmy Jin turned around and stared at Beca as she started to throw her stuff all over the dorm as she looked for some clothes to wear. The judgemental roommate just shook her head at Beca, turned around and continued to type away on her laptop.

Beca knew it would take about 10 minutes to get to the auditorium, so she had less than half an hour to shower, get dressed and do her hair. Oh, and she still had to pack her bag! She grabbed her toiletries and raced out the door to the showers. Well, Beca thought she was moving quickly, but there's only so fast that a sick person can go! She walked as quickly as she could to the showers, trying not to drop her stuff as she went. This morning would have been a lot better if she hadn't gotten out of bed 20 minutes late!

She managed to shower and get dressed in a little bit less than 20 minutes, so she had about 10 minutes to get back to her dorm, do her hair and pack her bag for practice. When she got back to the dorm, she just chucked her hair up into a bun where it was out of the way for rehearsal. Then she quickly grabbed her bag and put everything she needed into it, then zipped it up. She was about to head out the door when she realised she didn't have her phone. She quickly scanned the room, her eyes landing on the pile of stuff on her bed. If she had just put her stuff away when she got back from her shower, she wouldn't have buried her phone under it all!

Then she was out the door, as quickly as she could. She was running a few minutes late and already knew she was going to be slower than usual. It was usually a 10 minute walk from her dorm, which meant it could be a 5 minute run if she was late. But because she was sick, running to practice and wasting her energy was not worth it. She would just have to walk as fast as she could and hope for the best.

Walking so quickly didn't help her headache at all, it also caused her stomach to start doing flips inside of her. It didn't help that she forgot to throw some painkillers in her bag. She didn't have time to go back and get them, so she would have to make it through practice without them. When she reached the auditorium, she saw Amy walking inside. At least she wouldn't be the only late one. She entered the auditorium with caution as she knew Aubrey would not be happy.

"Amy! Why are you late?! You should have been here 10 minutes ago!"

Amy just stood there in shock for a bit, but when she went to say something Aubrey noticed Beca.

"Beca! Why are you late?! You two disgrace me! I expect better from both of you! Now hurry and join the others, you owe me some laps!"

Beca and Amy both sighed, and it was then that Beca noticed the other girls already doing laps. She put her bag down next to Stacie's and went to join the others. As she went over to start running up the stairs, Chloe came up beside her. "Hey Beca!" Chloe was happy and bright as usual, but Beca really wasn't in the mood for it. She felt like she was going to be sick at any moment. It was then that Chloe noticed Beca, with a slight greenish tinge on her face. "Are you ok Beca? You don't look so good." Beca didn't look Chloe in the eyes, she knew if she did Chloe would know something was up. Instead she just focused on her running.

"I'm fine Chloe, really." Chloe just replied with a simple "Ok". She knew something was up with Beca. When Beca was on her 5th lap, she started to feel even worse. Her stomach was doing backflips and her head was pounding. She was about to start her 6th lap when she started to get really dizzy. She stopped, just for a minute. But Aubrey noticed very quickly. "Beca! Why did you stop running?! You still owe me more laps! You were late and now everybody is paying the price!" Beca didn't reply though, her vision was blurry and she now had her head in her hands, hoping the pain would go away.

Chloe turned around as she was running up the stairs and saw Beca stopped at the bottom of the stairs and also heard Aubrey giving her a hard time. She had left Beca earlier because she was too slow for Chloe, but now she wished she had stayed with her. She was soon by Beca's side, defending her against Aubrey and rubbing circles on the brunette's back. "Aubrey! Can't you see that Beca isn't feeling well, look at how pale she is!" Aubrey just glared at her friend, how dare she defend Beca! "Oh please Chloe! Beca is always pale!" She was going to continue, but Beca collapsed into Chloe's arms before she could say anything else. Aubrey just stared, open mouthed as Chloe guided Beca to the floor and the rest of the Bellas crowded around her.
