It was the middle of the summer, on a very sunny Friday. Beca finally finished a song about her feelings about the years that she was at Barden, and she has been working on it for some weeks already. She wanted to get home and tell of the Bella's that she finally finished it. Beca was walking down the streets of Los Angeles when she received a text on the Bella's group chat:
[18:33] Fav Ginger: Girls, I booked a flight for each one of you to Atlanta. I already spoke with the Barden's headmaster and they could let us stay during this year in the old Bella's house, cause the new Bella's are staying in a new one.
Once she read that text she was really excited to see Chloe again after all these years that they couldn't meet because of their jobs. She really feels a strong bond with Chloe and it seems like she can't think of anything else but her. Of course she wants to see all of the other Bella's too, but Chloe is the main reason she actually would want to get away from her dream for one year. But then , the truth came into her head. She couldn't get a one year long vacation, because her label wants her in Los Angeles, so she responded:
[18:35] Beca: But Clo , I can't get a vacation for one year?!I need to go to events and wherever the label is making me go. I would have loved to come, but I can't for the entire year.
[18:36] Aubrey: I can't come either, my camp needs me here.
[18:40] Fav Ginger: Oh, don't you worry about that. I already got that settled down. I spoke with all of your bosses. We just need to make a good image when paparazzi see us. We will need to have a concert every Monday and Friday and then we can stay together. So see you tomorrow! I'll send you the tickets!
Beca was really surprised about how much effort Chloe put into this, but she couldn't say that she didn't like it. She didn't have enough time to think about it cause immediately she got a link to the plane ticket from Chloe, with the message:
[18:41] Fav Ginger: Becs, I really look forward to spending one year with you again!
While she read that she got a smirk forming on her face, remembering all of the good times that they had together.
[18:42] Beca: Me too! I really missed all of the Bella's!
[18:43] Fav Ginger: Oh, totes! But I actually was talking just about you..
Once she read that, her heart started beating faster. She couldn't think about a good response so she shut her phone and continued walking down the street.
Beca unlocked the door, entered the house and jumped on the couch. She decided to finally open her phone again and she was getting so much messages that she couldn't read them from the notifications screen. She had over 100 messages from the Bella's group chat, 2 from Chloe and 2 from Aubrey. She got some missed calls too, from Chloe and Aubrey.
[19:40] Fav Ginger: Beca, why aren't you answering to my message? Did I say something wrong?
[19:45] Fav Ginger: Please, answer the phone. Where are you?
She couldn't keep but smile when she saw how worried the redhead was for her. Then she opened the ones from Aubrey:
[19:42] Aubrey: BECA! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? CHLOE IS CRYING OVER THE PHONE AND SHE JUST TOLD ME THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU!? WHY?
[19:43] Aubrey: Sorry, what happened? It must be something bad if she reacted like this.
The smile faded away when she heard that Chloe cried because of her. Because she didn't answer her message. She immediately called the redhead, wanting to explain what happened.
~ On the phone ~
Fav Ginger: Finally! What happened?! Why didn't you answer my messages? Why didn't you call? Did something bad happened? Where are you?
Beca could tell that she cried just from her voice, so she just spilled the truth out.
Beca: Woww, slow down ginger. Nothing happened, I'm fine. I just couldn't think about how to answer your message so I just shut my phone. It's ok.
Fav Ginger: Oh, why didn't you know how to answer?
Beca ignored the question and wanted to get Chloe to tell her what she wanted.
Beca: So that's why you cried? Cause I couldn't answer some god damn message?
Fav Ginger: How.. how did you know that I cried?
Beca: Aubrey. She was angry at me for making you cry. But answer my question. Did you cry just because of that?
Fav Ginger: No..
She wasn't surprised when Chloe said no, but she still didn't get her to say the reason of her shedding tears because of her.
Fav Ginger: Then why?
Fav Ginger: I.. I can't tell you. We'll talk about it on our one year long vacation. Bye.
Beca: OK, but be sure that I won't forget about this.
~ End of the phone call ~
The plane had finally landed and Beca was looking for Stacie to come pick her up from the airport. As always , Stacie was running late, so Beca decided to call her , when two hands were put in front of her eyes. She asked "Stacie?". The person didn't say anything but instead moved around her until she was in front of the short woman. "What are you doing? I really think you are one of the Bella's cause I smell women perfume.". Then the woman dragged her onto one of the seats nearby, and jumped on Beca's lap. The mysterious woman kissed Beca's cheeks unexpectedly very near the lips, which gave Beca a shiver through her spine. Then the mysterious woman took her hands from Beca's eyes. "You could have greeted me more gently, you know?". "Yes, but I know that you liked it!" she said with a grin. "I didn't like it. I loved it."
