Chapter 1

Beca decided it was a good time to take a breather from everything. It was a hectic reunion with the Bellas and she just ended a tour as Dj Khaled's opening act. She got home to the apartment she shares with Fat Amy and Chloe a few days ago and it was more silent than the way it was before the Bellas' reunion, also known as, Chloe and Chicago kiss.

It was awkward between the three girls at their home of two years since Amy spends most of her time in her room, Chloe's bust managing calls as a Public Relations officer and drowns herself with endless phone calls even at home. She was unsure of maintaining a relationship with Chicago because she never wanted to be with a soldier and the distance thing was hard to keep up with.

Beca headed out of their apartment and tried to enjoy some time off. She walked towards her favorite pub, the sume pub the Bellas hold their weekly night outs. It served her favorite Tacos and rum coke, her comfort food and drink when she feels like everything is going down hill.

Bill, the bartender asked her "The usual?", She smiled and nodded. After a few minutes, Bill placed her order on the table at the back of the pub. This sometimes is also her "personal office" when she wants to finish her songs outside the office or wanted to read coffee table books for inspiration.

"So you've opened for DJ Khaled. That's a pretty big deal. How 'bout a solo album?" asked Bill.

"I literally just got back two days ago, Bill. And I don't even have any songs or tunes in mind." She replied while taking a bite of her taco.

"It'll come, kiddo. Welcome back! See you on Friday with the Bellas?" the 40-year old something asked.

"Most Definitely." She answered fast but uncertain. She always made time for the girls but she was unsure of meeting them on Friday after two months of being on the road. On the other hand, she misses them already since she realized she prefers going on tour with them than being all alone in plane rides, car rides, and sleeping alone in hotel rooms in different cities.

She continued walking around the city and recalls some of her favorite memories. She found the "JollyPOP" diner where Amy and her spend most of their time together when they're too lazy to cook after work. Their work places are on opposite buildings making it easier for them to walk home together at 5 pm or later.

She walked pass the park where she fetched Chloe for the first time in New York when she moved in with her and Fat Amy's apartment. She also saw the hotel where the Bellas' first performed post-graduation.

CHAPTER 2

She didn't realize she was already walking towards their home. She opened the door carefully not wanting to disturb anyone inside. She saw Chloe on her phone, lying down on the couch with boredom written all over her face. Beca didn't know where to go, whether she goes straight to her room or stay with Chloe. Which she hasn't done since she arrived, so she chose the latter.

She sat on the other couch and took her phone out but got interrupted by Chloe.

"Are you ever going to tell me anything about the tour? You've been away for two months without messaging or calling me. I know about the phone calls with Amy. She tells me you updated her every time all throughout." Chloe sat down confused by her best friend's actions towards her. She spoke up with sadness in her eyes. Beca was surprised by the sudden confrontation.

"I'm so, so sorry, Chlo. I choked while I was away and I was unsure of so many things while on tour. I only called Amy when I couldn't handle everything because I didn't want to bother anybody else." Beca answered softly.

"So I'm "anybody" else now?" Chloe asked in the middle of tearing up.

"No. You're my best friend. You're not just anybody else. I just didn't want to annoy you and call you just to rant about my problems. Maybe you were busy too."

"Oh my goodness, Beca! We've been living together for two years and we've shared beds all over this country and even in Europe during tours. I can't believe you never messaged me once."

"I didn't think you'd need me for those two months. You have Amy and the other girls here anyway." Beca defended herself even though she knows she's in the wrong.

They didn't realize they were both standing a few inches away from each other as Fat Amy barged to the living room in the middle of the heated conversation.

"You two are unbelievable! We didn't spend any time together since Beca arrived but apparently, you have the time to argue about something so shallow when it's both your fault. Beca never called and so did you, Chloe. You never even tried. You just moped around like a cute little puppy but never had the audacity to call Beca."

Amy went to the the open kitchen right next to their living room and prepped meals while the two were still standing face to face, unsure of what to do. Beca looked closely at her best friend who was already weeping.

She hated herself. She couldn't tell Chloe the truth. She promised she would after figuring things out. She hugged her and tried to do her best to calm Chloe down.

"I'm really sorry, Chlo. I'll make it up to you. Fat Amy did knock some sense into us because that's what we needed to hear. I suck as your best friend but I never doubted you and our friendship. I was wrong when I stayed away from you." She re-assured the redhead who finally stopped sobbing.

"This ain't over yet, Mitchell. But for the sake of going back to where we were, I accept your apology." She left Beca's arms and the brunette was surprised realizing she missed the physical contact for months.

"You two, here at the dining table. I've made a new rule for a better place. We'll eat dinner every night together. We'll take turns on cooking. It's a requirement during work days and on weekends we can eat out with the Bellas or order some pizza and stay here. Is that clear?" Fat Amy said as the other girls headed her way.

The Aussie continued to prepare salad and steaks while Beca and Chloe were seated quietly on the counter table waiting for dinner to be served until Beca decided to speak up.

"That's a good idea, Amy. Maybe we can slowly turn vegan with all of our upcoming dinners since I can only feed you salad." She had hey typical grumpy face.

"Aw, poor Beca. Maybe Chloe can help you with that. She makes a mean lamb chop, the Bellas' new favorite dish." Said Amy as Chloe smiled proudly about the compliment.

"Since when did the Pub's Tacos got replaced by her Lamb chops?" Beca asked confusedly.

"Since you've been gone." Answered Chloe with a straight face.

Amy laughed so loud, Beca turned red.

"I love the pun, ginger. But to answer your question miss Superstar, the Bellas had tons of sleepovers here when you were away."

Beca frowned upon what she heard. She missed out on all the fun, especially with her family. They didn't know how miserable she was during her opening tour. Everything reminded her of the girls, especially her favorite, Chloe.
