Hey guys this is my new fic, Titanium Lies. Hope you like it-M
Beca pulled in her guitar to an amp when Tom called her over.
"Yeah, what's up Tom?"
Tom was Beca's bands manager and we good friend.
"I just wanted to tell you you're sets been extended, the other opening act dropped out." He told her with a big smile.
"Dude! That's awesome, so what do we get now, like 30 minutes?" Tom ruffled her hair affectionately.
"Sure do. Now go get ready to kill it." Beca finished checking her mic and guitar and went back to the bands dressing room.
"Yo small fry! When do we go on?" Amy, her drummer and crazy Aussie friend asked her.
"Twenty five minutes. You ready?" Beca asked with a smirk.
"I'm always ready!" Amy proceeded to pop open a Beer and chug it before smashing the can. "We're going to crush it!"
Beca laughed and went to find her bassist. "Jesse!? Where are you bro?
" Jesse emerged from the alley way exit with a bag of fast food. "I got the munchies for tacos." He as he held up the Taco Bell bag. Beca laughed and ran her fingers through her hair.
"Okay, eat fast. We go on soon."
Jesse saluted her" aye aye captain."

"Aubrey! Come on we're going to be late!" Chloe whined at Aubrey's slow pace of getting ready.
" I don't even see why you want to go, you don't even know this band." Aubrey said putting the finishing touches on her make up.
"Tom, my old friend from college, is the manager. He told me there really good, plus the tickets are free so shut up and get a move on!" Chloe left Aubrey's room to make sure she had everything she needed for tonight.
She went through her bag checking for the tickets, her phone and all her other essentials. When she finished her check Aubrey had appeared from her bedroom.
"Ready." She stated smoothing out her outfit.
"Finally!" Chloe said dramatically. "Let's go!"

The bar was packed, a sea of people from wall to wall. Beca looked from behind the curtain scouting the crowd. This was their first big gig they've had as a band. Beca was nervous but excited at the same time, just the way she likes it. She saw Tom make his way out on the stage.
"Hey guys how are you to tonight?"
The crowd responded lively.
"That's good. We've got some great bands playing tonight. So please welcome Titanium Lies!"
Beca turned to Amy "we've got to get a better name."
Jesse came up behind her "nah dude it rocks. We rock. Let's go rock!"
He walked out on stage and the crowd erupted in applause. Next followed Amy, she fist pumped the air. Beca took a deep breath and walked out and took her place. She slung her guitar over her shoulder and approached the mic.
"Are you guys ready to have some fun?" The crowd yelled a mixed response of "yes" and "yeah." Beca smirk. "Then let's do this thing, we are Titanium Lies, and here we go!"

Chloe pushed her way to the front of the crowd dragging Aubrey with her. When the band members walked on stage her face lit up.
"I'm so excited Aub." She yelled toward Aubrey.
Aubrey smiled and half-heartedly rolled her eyes at her friend. As soon as the lead singer came into her view Chloe was captivated. The girl wasn't exactly Aubrey's type. Too "alternative." But she was exactly Chloe's type. Chloe loved the whole 'rebel without a cause' look. Aubrey leaned over to talk to Chloe.
"You're drooling."
Chloe stuck her tongue out. "Shut up."

Beca started strumming the intro to their last song; then approached the mic.
"Waiting all night not a call in sight.
I've got the babe but I've got no bite."
Beca had noticed the red head dead center in the front row. She made sure to make eye contact during this song.
"Wanna have some fun, wanna have someone to make me feel alright.
I'm looking at you, you're looking at me too.
Yeah I know what you wanna do."
Beca's stage presense was massive compared to her small frame. The way she held the mic and stand had Chloe biting her lip.
"But your girlfriend wants the night to end. Baby, Tell me something new." Beca's eyes bore into Chloe's.
Chloe's mind was on overdrive.
" It's too bad about your girl. She doesn't look like she's much fun. Too bad you've got a date tonight because you're looking like you're the one."
Chloe couldn't help but think the message was directed at her. And if it indeed was directed toward her and her over active brain was delusional. She'd make damn sure to let the girl know she didn't have a girlfriend…yet.
The last note on Beca's guitar rang out. She thanked the crowd and walked off the stage with her band.
Tom was waiting in the wing. "You guys killed it!" He said hugging Beca and Amy and high diving Jesse.
"Yeah we sure did. The crowd loved me and you two were alright." Fat Amy joked.
Jesse nudged Beca in the ribs "did you see those two girls in the front row? The cute red head didn't take her eyes off of you the whole night."
Beca smirked and shook her head. "I might have noticed." Beca shrugs.
Fat Amy pipes in "Nah dude, you have a serious toner for that lil' ginga. You were basically eye fucking her the whole time during that last song."
Beca's face had turned beat red. Thankfully the lights were dimmed and it wasn't as noticeable.
"Whatever." Beca responded.
Tom was watching this interaction. He leaned over and asked Fat Amy something in a whisper. The woman nodded vigorously and responded" Totally bro. Hook it up!" Then fist bumped the guy before he walked away. Beca did know what was going on, but she was nervous for whatever might come out of that interaction.

"They were amazing!" Chloe told Aubrey excitedly. Aubrey smiled adoringly, to be honest, she did enjoy them but she had a feeling Chloe liked the lead singer more than the band. The girl could have probably sung the same song for thirty minutes and Chloe would have the same reaction.
Chloe was looking around to see if the members of the band would come out into the bar. She heard her name being called
"Chloe!"
She turned around and saw Tom walking toward her.
"Hey you. Did you enjoy the show?" He asked as he pulled her into a hug.
" Yeah it was awesome." Chloe replied "oh this is my good friend Aubrey.
Aubrey this is Tom."
Chloe introduced the two.
"Thank you for the invites and the tickets." Aubrey said with a polite smile.
"Oh, no problem. Hey do you two want to meet the band?"
