With some help from BeChloeIsLegit I have written my first fic. I hope y'all like it.
Beca watched as Chloe kissed Chicago with one thought; I waited too long. She ran back to her hotel room with a song in mind for her next show.
Meanwhile, Chicago pulled out of the kiss looking sheepish. "Chloe I can't do this. I'm married and have a daughter back home. I'm sorry if I lead you on."
"Oh," Chloe stated feeling embarrassed. "I'm sorry I misread the signs. I should probably go."
The next night was Beca's second performance for DJ Khaled. She was standing in the wings waiting to be called on stage thinking of the person she lost but never really had. DJ Khaled announced Beca's name; she took a deep breath and released it as she walked out on stage. She started singing.
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
Cause you don't love me anymore.
Beca thought about how it could have been. She had tears in her eyes as she continued.
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love.
In the back of the audience, Chloe had tears rolling down her cheeks wishing she could run on stage and hug her best friend.
I wake up in the morning hand I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was?
I can't understand, no. I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does.
Tears are steadily rolling down Beca's face as she continued to try and rein them in.
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye.
Chloe was trying to hold back the sobs thinking who had hurt Beca.
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye.
Beca was whisked off to an after party as DJ Khaled continued with the show. Chloe hurried back to her hotel room and tried to call Beca
several times that night. Beca didn't return any of her calls, and she finally cried herself to sleep.
Several months later
Chloe was sitting at a small cafe awaiting her sister, soon to be sister-in-law, and the other maid of honor's arrival to discuss wedding details when a familiar face walked through the door.
"Hey, Stacie! What are you doing here?" Chloe said.
"Well, I am supposed to be meeting my sister, her fiance, and the other maid of honor, but it looks like they haven't shown up yet," Stacie stated
matter of factly.
Just then both of their phones went off. "Sorry we're late, should be there shortly. L. and A."
"Well, it looks like they will be here soon," Chloe said.
Stacie looked at her like she had grown a second head.
"How do you know that?" Stacie questioned.
"Annie, my sister, just messaged me," Chloe stated.
Stacie laughed and said, "I see what's going on here; I think our sisters are getting married."
Chloe laughed as well, and they caught up on each other's lives as they waited.
About 10 minutes later the brides-to-be arrived.
"Hey, I see you two found each other," Lizzie said as they hugged their respective sisters.
"Yea, we already know each other from the Bellas," Stacie stated.
"Oh, totes! Bellas for life!" Chloe exclaimed with a dazzling smile.
With a raised eyebrow and a giggle, Annie said, "Ok, that makes things easier, no intros needed. Let's get started planning this thing."
"Yea, I only have a few hours before I have to go meet a new producer at the studio," Lizzie stated as she kissed her fiance on the cheek.
They talked about wedding venues, cake, and outfits while eating and drinking. Before they knew it Lizzie's alarm went off.
"Sorry, but I really have to go. You all can come by the studio after your done catching up or the house later on," Lizzie stated with a wink.
"Ok, love. I'll text you to see how things are going at the studio. I love you," Annie said with a chaste kiss to Lizzie's lips.
"I love you more," Lizzie said as she placed money down to pay for the bill. She swayed her hips a little more as she walked out of the door.
With a loving smirk, Annie said, "I hate to see her go but love to watch her leave."
That caused a round of giggles from the rest of the table.
As Lizzie walked towards her building, she smiled and thought about how this was her life. She had her dream job, the girl of her dreams, and a cute daughter. She couldn't help but get a little misty-eyed at it all but quickly pushed them away as she walked through the door.
"Hey, Lily, has she shown up yet?" Lizzie questioned the Asian girl.
"Yes, she seems to be a bit nervous," Lily stated.
"Ok, when she comes out please send her up to my office," Lizzie said.
Just then Beca walked out of the bathroom and was met by Lizzie Conrad.
"I'm sorry," Beca said as she ducked her head sheepishly.
"Hey, no biggie. We can talk in my office," Lizzie said as she started walking towards the elevator.
"Found her, Lily! No need to send a search party!" Lizzie exclaimed as they stepped into the elevator.
"So, Beca, other than what has already been discussed with DJ Khaled, what do you want to do here?" Lizzie questioned with a kind smile.
"Well, other than needing to stop drinking, I would like to start producing music again. I haven't produced or sang anything without alcohol in
almost a year," Beca stated with a sheepish scowl.
"Hey, it's ok. We will get you back to that in due time. I've been there and had a great support team and so will you. You will need a manager, you can pick your own, or we can have someone here do it," Lizzie said with a small smile.
"Ok, I think one from here would be good to start with," Beca said.
"Ok, I know just the person. Let me see if she is here and can come to meet with you," Lizzie stated.
Lizzie picked up the phone and pressed a number. "Hey, are you in the office?" Lizzie questioned into the phone. "Awesome, can you come down to my office? Great, see you in a bit."
A short time later there was a knock on the door, and it opened to reveal none other than Aubrey Posen.
As Aubrey turned after closing the door, she exclaimed with wide eyes, "Beca!?"
"Oh! Shit, um, sorry. Hey, Aubrey," Beca said looking like she had seen a ghost.
Lizzie look between the two before questioning, "You two know each other?"
"Um, yea, the Bellas," Aubrey said in a quiet tone.
"Yea," Beca said looking anywhere but the others in the room. "I kind of lost touch with the Bellas after the U.S.O. Tour. I'm sorry, Bree."
"Beca, it's ok. We all kinda got busy after the U.S.O. Tour. It's not all your fault," Aubrey stated with a gentle tone.
"No, it really is my fault. Several of the others tried to get in touch with me," Beca said. With a sniffle, she added, "Especially Chloe."
"Beca, it will be ok. The girls will understand. You do need to talk to Chloe though. She misses you, Beca." Aubrey stated with a sad smile.
"I miss her, too," Beca said quietly with tears starting to fall from her eyes.
"Can I give you a hug, Beca?" Aubrey questioned hesitantly.
Beca just nodded slightly. She released a breath she didn't know she was holding as they hugged each other tightly.
"Sorry to break up this reunion but I think we should get back on track. Aubrey, you will be managing Beca for the time being," Lizzie stated.
"Sure, Lizzie. Thank you for the opportunity to manage this one." Aubrey said, hooking her thumb back towards Beca with a huge grin.
"Ok, enough emotions for one day," Beca said with a chuckle. "Thank you, Lizzie, for giving me a chance to show you what I can do and for helping me get back to the old me."
"You're both welcome," Lizzie said with a wink at both girls. She looked at Beca and said, "It is good to have you on the team. Prove to me what you can do and do it sober. Everything else will fall into place after that."
Just then Lizzie's phone dinged with a message.
The love of my life: "Hey babe do you need me back at the studio or am I taking these two home?"
Lizzie's face lit up with a loving smile!
Lizzie: "We just have paperwork to do, then we should be home."
The love of my life: "Ok, we'll head there shortly. Do you want anything specific for dinner?"
Lizzie: "Hmm, tacos from that great Mexican place we went to the other week sounds great."
"Beca, Aubrey? Do you want Mexican for dinner?" Lizzie questioned as she handed them a menu.
"Yes, please. Stacie knows what I like," Aubrey said with a smile.
"Ok, Beca for you? Lizzie asked.
"Taco trio, please," Beca said.
Lizzie texted back to Annie what they all wanted and then locked her phone.
"Aubrey, can you have Jess and Ash bring paperwork down for Beca?" Lizzie asked with a knowing smirk.
"Oh, um, sure. Do you want them to bring it down here to your office?" Aubrey asked with a bit of a knowing smile as she sent out a text.
"Yea, it will be a nice surprise," Lizzie said with a wink and a laugh.
Beca looked between the two and stated, "I feel like I'm missing something. Is there an inside joke that I won't get?"
"You'll see when they get here," Aubrey stated giving Beca a wink.
Just then there was a knock on the door; it opened to reveal Jessica Smith and Ashley Jones laughing until they realized who was in Lizzie's office.
"Beca!" they both exclaimed as they pulled Beca in for a trio hug.
"Oh, my God, why didn't I get the reference earlier?" Beca asked with a raised eyebrow towards Aubrey.
"I told you it would be a nice surprise," Lizzie stated with a chuckle.
"I'm ok with this surprise. Who else from the Bellas works here?" Beca questioned.
"Lily is at the front desk, C.R. is Lizzie and Annie's personal pilot, Bree is a manager, Stacie is a part-time assistant, we do lawyer duties such
as legal paperwork, and now you are a producer. Emily will be a signing after she graduates. Oh, and Flo has a juice stand in the building."
Jessica said. Or was it, Ashley?
"Wow! Seems like most of the Bellas work here," Beca exclaimed with a big smile.
"Well, Lizzie and Annie have taken most of us in at some point and offered us jobs to get us back on our feet out in the world," Aubrey stated matter of factly.
Beca started filling out her paperwork as she said, "It appears so. So, um, how is Chloe?
"Other than missing you she's been good," Aubrey stated. "She, and I quote, 'couldn't hack it at vet school because she couldn't save every animal that came through.' She wanted to be a teacher, but she has to go back to school in order to do that. She and Amy just came back from a trip to her mom's place in Florida," Aubrey said in a rush to get it all out.
"Aww, poor Chloe, she had her heart set on being a vet," Beca said with a sad smile. "I hope I can catch up with her and apologize for not being there for her."
"I'm sure you will be able to. Now hurry up and finish your paperwork so we can go eat," Lizzie stated with an eye roll.
"Ok, I'm almost done just need to sign and done," Beca said as she handed her paperwork over.
"Ok, Aubrey are you driving us back to the house or am I? Jess and Ash, you brought your car, are you eating dinner with us?" Lizzie asked.
"No thanks, we are going out on a date," Jessica said with a beaming smile.
"Ok, have fun," Lizzie said with a wink towards Jessica and Ashley.
"You can," Aubrey said as they started going down to the parking garage.
"Ok," Lizzie said as they stepped out of the elevator and walked up to a rather large, lifted truck.
She hit the button to unlock the doors as she said, "Get in, buckle up, and hang on. We have to stop and pick up Shelby on the way."
They all got in and did as told and drive off toward the school.
They were all making small talk with Shelby about school as they walked through the door. Lizzie shut the door behind them as Shelby ran into the dining room to find her other mother.
"Honey, I'm home," Lizzie said with a giggle.
"Welcome home, love," Annie said with a chaste kiss to Lizzie's cheek.
"Something smells good. Let's go eat," Lizzie stated as she looked at the others.
They were all taking seats at the table when Chloe came back from the bathroom. "Holy shit!" she exclaimed as her eyes fell on Beca.
"Chloe," Beca said as she looked up at Chloe.
"Bec," Chloe said at the same time, her voice breaking.
Nothing more was said as the two continued to stare at each other.
