Pitch Perfect 2 & 3 will be covered over more chapters.

Beca had been at Barden for a whole ten minutes and already she was wanting to leave. In, her defense, she didn't want to come to this college in the first place. She would have just gone straight to LA to try and get a career in music started.

But her dad was a teacher at Barden and basically wouldn't help her until she got a real education so here she was to her dismay, she didn't plan on thriving in the college life because that wasn't for her, but she did go to the activities fair for the sole purpose to get away from her dad and his lecture about life.

She wasn't going to sign up to anything, she was absolutely adamant about that. Not even when she was pulled over by the Barden Bellas stall. The all female acapella on the campus, which yes, was actually a thing.

Beca saw how the blonde was a little hostile, uptight and possibly annoying. The one next to her however, the redhead, was completely lovely with her winning smile and kind blue eyes. If they were both like that then maybe Beca would find it more appealing, well possibly not but that's still what she told herself.

"Sorry I don't even sing but it was really nice to meet you guys" she gave the redhead a tight smile as if it were another silent apology, seeing how her hopeful face slowly dropped down to pure disappointment.

Okay, perhaps she felt bad seeing someone who was trying so hard be let down so much. But she didn't know her and to be honest, she had no loyalty to her or anyone else to please. Not right now anyway. Beca took herself back to her room after a little while of walking round once she felt like it was safe from her dad.

She went back to do what she knew best, working on her music. That's all she needed.

Chloe and Aubrey were still struggling with finding people to sign up for the Bellas, well they had a few sign but not as many as they were expecting or hoping for. Chloe secretly felt it was down to Aubrey and her mishap last year but she daren't say that.

Auditions were just tomorrow. It was when she was in the shower room having an innocent fool around with Tom who was in her Russian Literature class.

And that's when she heard it. This voice. An undeniably gorgeous voice that was coming from the shower opposite hers and she felt like had no choice but to investigate that voice and who it was coming from, so quietly she stepped out of the shower and left Tom behind.

Slowly she pulled the curtain back and saw that it was the girl who Aubrey classed as too alternative but also the girl who made it very clear that she didn't find acapella interesting and didn't sing. Clearly one was a lie.

Chloe couldn't not say anything and just blurted it out "You can sing!"

Beca jumped and turned, closing the curtain "Dude!"

Chloe then pulled it back and turned off her shower to interrogate some more "How high does your belt go?"

"My what? Oh my god" Beca said as she backed herself into the corner of the shower, not knowing if this was happening right now. The sweet, innocent looking girl she met a month ago was now standing in front of her completely naked as she was also naked. There was something not very normal about this situation.

No guy she has ever dated has ever seen her body so naked much less a girl she met once before now.

"You have to audition for the Bellas" Chloe nodded assertively.

"I can't concentrate on anything until you cover your junk" Beca blurted whilst still trying to avoid eye contact with her and her body.

Beca still protested, but the more she dug in, the more Chloe dug in "I'm not leaving here till you sing so"

And she meant it, Chloe stood there, hands on the hips and just sighed. Slowly Beca turned, she wasn't going to be able to get a shower until she sang for this chick. So she folded her arms in attempts to cover her bare chest as much as humanly possible and started singing titanium, with Chloe then joining in and their harmonies fit like they were born to sing together or something, not that Beca was a believer in fate or anything like that, but she had the feeling Chloe was.

After their song died down, Chloe just grinned to her. Beca then suddenly catching herself falling into her ocean eyes before realising they were still stood in a shower completely naked and once again she looked away.

"Oh yeah I'm pretty confident about all this" Chloe smirked whilst motioning up and down to her body, Beca quickly glanced to her motions before darting her eyes straight back to Chloe and just nodding "You should be"

Tom came to get Chloe back in the shower, which led Beca to surprised that Chloe was straight because not may straight girls would jump in a shower with another girl and be so comfortable about it.

So that just happened, Beca had her shower and quickly went back to her room. Sitting on the bed as she tried her hair and thought about everything Chloe said, at first she really did think acapella was stupid, and maybe she still did a little but Chloe made it so damn appealing for some reason. The way they sang together and it was clearly shown that they sounded good.

Beca needed to take part in something to get her dad off her back, she did like to sing too so maybe this wouldn't be so bad. Sing a few song with Chloe and some other girls? It might still be lame. But she did need some friends.

And she liked Chloe.

Beca was accepted into the Bellas along with nine other girls. After the completely weird initiation, they had a party to go to apparently.

"Oh, I don't know I'm pretty beat" Beca said, holding her hands up, Chloe rolled her eyes with a smile and pulled Beca close as she linked their arms together "Come on Beca, let your hair down it'll be fun trust me"

"I'm usually just not a party person" she explained whilst still being led by Chloe behind everyone else as they headed over to the party. Chloe looked to her, with a smirk "We'll have to knock that out of you"

"Something tells me you're going to try and be that person?"

Chloe grinned and just nodded to her. Still seeming all very excited about this, Beca looked to the floor for a moment as she then went on to ask her "So how come you like all this stuff anyway? Modelling not more up your street or something?"

Chloe laughed "No. But it's nice to know I could be" she winked and then looked straight ahead once again "Singing has been in my life since I was just a little girl, growing up watching musicals and everything. So when I came to Barden and saw the Bellas I just felt like it was perfect for me to show people what I can do and I love it"

Beca just nodded, as cliche as that was. It was also very believable with Chloe and her pure innocence. Chloe looked to Beca "So how come you don't like singing?"

"I'm here aren't I?"

"Cause I caught you out else you would've just gone through college with that mysterious thing you've got going on. Which I'm sure the guys find sexy"

Beca blubbered out a laugh "Don't think so"

"I do" Chloe said, winking to her again before sliding her arm out of hers and they split up amongst the group. Beca just shrugged and shook it off, taking whatever Chloe said with a pinch of salt.

Chloe went off before Beca even blinked and suddenly the party was already in full swing, as she saw from her newly founded friend and colleague from the radio store, Jesse. It now seemed he was a rival as he was joined as a Treble.

But most of all he was drunk.

"Becaw" he called as he made his way over to her, seeing her roll her eyes "Do my eyes deceive me, are you a Barden Bella?"

"No"

"I think so" he laughed "Word is Chloe ambushed you in the shower, interesting"

Beca squinted at him "Where the hell did you hear that?"

"Tom. The guy she left in the shower to get into yours" he let out a blubbering laugh as he leaned forward and then looked back to her "What happens in the showers stays in the showers"

"You're really drunk right now" she teased in attempts to kill this conversation "I don't think you're going to remember any of this"

"I'm not drunk at all you're just blurry"

"Can you pass a sobriety test right now?" after testing him by poking him it seemed she had succeeded in moving past the topic of the showers and he soon went off to getting her a drink that he insisted on getting.

Chloe then soon came back over to her, grabbing her and pulled her so close that for a moment Beca flat out felt like she was going to kiss her, how she ended up being tipsy already was beyond her "I'm so glad I met you"

She brought their faces closer, it suddenly getting more intense as she whisper "I think we're going to be really fast friends"

"Yeah" Beca said sweetly "Well you saw me naked, so. By the way your boyfriend has told people"

"Oh he's not my boyfriend" Chloe laughed, shaking her head "Just a little hook up once in awhile, we're all human right?"

"Right" Beca nodded.

"You play your cards right and you could get some tonight"

She raised her brows to Chloe and quickly startled "What?"

"Yeah! This place is filled with guys" Chloe clarified which allowed Beca to take a breath, she leaned forward and whispered "Just make sure it's not a treble cause Aubrey would kill you"

"I'll...keep that in mind"

Chloe grinned to her and squeezed her arms "Alright I'm gonna go get a drink, this ginger needs her jiggle juice" she then proceed to jiggle that Beca just accepted and watched before she walked away.

"See you later!"

"Make good choices…" Beca muttered, watching Chloe walk over to Tom as he put her hands on her from behind by the table at the front that was just full of booze, but her eyes were taken away as Jesse came over with a drink for her.

She didn't really see Chloe till the next morning for the Bella meeting. All she really recalled was dancing a little with her and then she disappeared with Tom. Not that she cared or anything.

Aubrey went on crackdown with getting rid of two bellas in the morning meeting because they hooked up with a treble, so it seemed she was serious. Completely crazy. But serious. Beca noticed how Chloe just stayed completely silent, they just looked to each other for a moment as Aubrey went on a rant.

Beca could see that Chloe was either smart or scared to keep quiet. Beca did right to keep quiet for the meantime and got on with the training that they were going through by Aubrey and Chloe, running, walking in high heels and choreography to their songs.

At one point Chloe put her arms around Beca to help her with part of the routine, to which Beca nodded and said assertively "I know-I can do it"

"You sure?"

"Yeah I got it" Beca said quietly, turning her head to Chloe for a brief moment "Thanks"

Chloe just smiled before slowly releasing her from her hold and then just watched her. Giving her an approving look after Beca actually put some effort into it.

After all that was over for the day, Aubrey quickly called Beca back as everyone diverse.

"You really don't like me do you?"

"I don't like your attitude" Aubrey shook her head.

"You don't even know me"

"I know you're only here because Chloe insisted so much. I also know you have a toner for Jesse"

Beca grinned with pure amusement "A what?"

"A toner. A musical boner. I saw it at hood night, it's distracting"

She took in a breath, she had to be as civilised as humanly possible "Yeah that's not a thing and you're not the boss of me"

"You took an oath"

"That oath costs you two girls already today I'm pretty sure you need me more than I need you"

Aubrey shut up long enough for Beca to think that this little conversation was over. As she turned to leave, Aubrey then yelled "I can see your toner through your jeans"

"That's my dick" Beca called back as she left, as she began walking down the hall she was then called, she turned and saw Chloe jogging toward her. Beca rolled her eyes and said as they both walked out "How the hell do you put up with that?"

"She's not too bad when you get to know her, trust me"

Beca looked to her and couldn't help but laugh "Chloe she's insanely uptight and a control freak"

"Yeah but underneath all that"

She just smirked and shook her head as she looked straight ahead again, shrugging "Whatever you say. You know her better than I do"

Chloe looked to her "She didn't mean it by the way, about the only reason you're here is because of me"

"It wouldn't surprise me if it was" she said plainly.

"You got in cause you're talented, Beca. Insanely talented"

Beca glanced to her and smiled. If she said anymore like that then she might blush and no one wants that "Thanks. Still even if I am. Something tells me if there were two like Aubrey in charge, talented or not, I wouldn't be here cause I'm not squeaky clean"

"I hate squeaky clean"

Beca looked at the young woman beside her up and down and laughed "Yeah I can tell"

"Are you making fun of me?" Chloe frowned.

"No. It's just uh, you're not exactly un-squeaky clean"

"All the more to like those who are" Chloe said as she gave Beca a nudge "Opposites attract y'know"

"I guess" Beca muttered, looking down to her watch and saying as they walked out the building "I gotta head to my lecture, I actually promised my dad I'd go"

Chloe pulled her face "Fun. Enjoy"

Beca just nodded as she gave her a tight smile and the two parted ways.

Their first performance as a group was a disaster. And Chloe then made the rather dramatic announcement that she had nodes. Vocal nodules apparently. Beca couldn't believe that Chloe carried on singing, she actually felt a little worried deep down.

Beca walked over to Chloe as they headed over to the car "So you're gonna be okay right? You can have an operation or something"

"I don't want to jeopardise anything"

"Chloe" Beca sighed "You gotta put yourself first every once in awhile. Ever occured to you that if you don't have surgery that it could have a worse effect on your vocals?"

Chloe stopped as Beca then did the same. She turned to her "Beca, I get you're just trying to help, but I know what I'm doing. If I make sure not to push myself too hard then I should be fine, then when the season is over I'll have the surgery"

Beca just looked at her for a moment, whether to take it into account or not. But Chloe has been doing this longer and Beca didn't even know what the hell vocal nodules were until about five minutes ago so she clearly knew more about it. She sighed once again and shrugged "Alright, alright. You're the expert"

"Thanks for showing you care though" Chloe said, partly teasing "Nice to know"

Beca rolled her eyes, Chloe then raised her brows "Beca?"

"What?"

"You gonna hold my hand to the car or?"

Beca looked down and saw her hand was gripped to Chloe's and to be honest she didn't know when that happen and didn't even feel her make that motion. Beca quickly pulled her hand away "We better be getting back"

Beca continued to walk down the path with Chloe and her smirk following her. She believed that she was beginning to melt that cold cold heart of Beca Mitchell's, but she won't say that to her. God knows it'll hurt her reputation.

Beca thought she was going in the right direction when she got involved in the riff off, she had the whole place singing, no one else did that and because of one stupid technicality they lost.

If they had one it would have been down to her and Aubrey would have shown her some praise or anything like that. But no instead Aubrey used it to have more improvement on them as a group, not focusing on how well they worked together tonight. Because if they didn't win then it was completely irrelevant.

Chloe saw how defeated Beca had seemed. The one time she really puts her effort into the group and she essentially gets shot down for trying. She didn't want it to discourage her in anyway. So she ran over to her and put her arm around her, pulling her close "It was awesome what you did. Don't listen to Aubrey"

"Could've done with you saying that before" Beca said with a breathless laugh.

"I'm sorry. But like we've discussed before, she won't bend the way she see's things"

Beca just nodded, she didn't mean it so Aubrey would apologise, just so she would have been stuck up for. But as she has taken in from observation, Chloe is too scared to speak up. Chloe continued to rub her arm and keep her close, which Beca did in fact appreciate.

"Trust me, Beca. It was great, you're great"

This time, Beca did feel her cheeks go red for some unexplainable reason. Chloe then raised a suggestion "How about you come to my place tonight? We can chill, watch some movies and stuff? What do you say?"

Usually Beca would just reject the idea on the basis of usually wanting to be alone, but she found herself wanting to be surrounded by people, wanting to be surrounded by Chloe more than anything, again for a reason that she couldn't explain to herself much less other people. Which is why she even surprised herself when she accepted and before she knew it, she was in her slacks watching movies in bed with Chloe in her room.

And she actually enjoyed it? She enjoyed sitting in bed and watching movies which is something she has never enjoyed before or something that has ever appealed to her before, such as the other day when Jesse suggested they watch a bunch of movies with great scores and she rejected the idea cause it absolutely didn't appeal to her. But maybe it wasn't the movies that she wanted to see it was the fact she was willing to put up with the movies in order to spend time with Chloe.

She saw Jesse the next day, inviting him to come and listen to some music she had been working on and after she did, he couldn't help but pry "You and Chloe seem to be getting close"

Beca frowned to him "If you're going to make another shower joke I may have to choke you"

He laughed and shook his head "No I didn't mean that! I just mean, well you were little miss I don't need nobody a few months back and now you've gone from one friend" he pointed to himself, hearing her let out a stiff laugh and then added "One friend to like what ten? And even a best girlfriend"

Beca just rolled her eyes and scratched the back of her head, the topic soon making her a little nervous "Yeah well"

"So where were you last night, didn't see you at the after party when the riff off finished" he smirked as he knew where he was going with what he was saying "Chloe vanished too"

"Yeah me and her hung out" Beca said plainly, then seeing Jesse raise a brow to elaborate, she rolled her eyes and cut to the chase "We chilled at hers and watched some movies, okay?"

His jaw dropped "You watched movies? You? The girl who hates movies?"

"I never actually said I hated them"

"Your silence was enough" Jesse squinted at her. To which she rolled her eyes and said with more annoyance "What?"

He rubbed his lips together and leaned back against the end of the bed "Alright. Tell me to butt out by all means. But do you think Chloe is into you?"

"Into me?" Beca marveled in the midst of a laugh "Are you crazy?"

"Why is it crazy?"

"The fact that she and that Tom hooks up doesn't give you a clue of a preference"

Jesse stared at her for a moment and slowly just came out with "Oh"

"Oh? Oh what?"

"As in oh you didn't know Chloe was bisexual?"

Beca's face suddenly dropped before she raised her brows to him "Seriously?"

"I thought she'd have told you that"

She quickly shrugged "Why should she tell me that? it's her business"

"Yeah but…" he nodded his head as if to silently say the end of the sentence was obvious, and Beca knew what he was trying to say but proceeded to play dumb and just shrugged. Jesse looked to her and just blurted it out "But like I said I think she's into you"

"Just because a girl who's bi wants to spend time with a friend who's a girl doesn't mean she's into her, Jesse"

"No but when you look at it from my point of view and see the way she looks at say Stacie to how she looks at you then you'd get where I'm coming from"

Beca sat back in her chair and just thought about it for a moment before she decided to shrug it off once again "Well so what? Even if she was I'm not"

"You sure?"

"Jesse" she laughed. To which he shrugged and held his hands up "Like you said about Chloe. Her sexuality is her business, like yours is your own"

"But I'm-I mean I'm not-"

"I didn't mean to ambush you" he said gently "I was just calling it like I saw it. If I called wrong then I'm sorry, honest"

Beca just looked at him and before she could say anything, her roomate Kimmy Jin walks in with her friends. Thus bringing the conversation to a close as Jesse stood "And I'm out" he walked to the door and before leaving her just mouthed his apologies to Beca before leaving.

She couldn't believe that conversation just happened. But it did make her wonder if Chloe did see her a different way? She was just her friend. That's all she was, a friend.

But that didn't stop Beca from thinking about her friend until she went to sleep that night.

As if the riff off wasn't bad enough, Beca finally felt like she was getting with everyone in the group, meaning Aubrey. A few weeks after the riff off and coming second in the first official round in the ICCA, they had the next stage.

They were doing the same routine once again, and when performing, Beca saw how people were yawning and looking at their phones. Even the judges, basically looking at anything apart from them, so she took a chance and mixed up, throwing bulletproof in with the song. Chloe looking at her in the performance as if to ask what she was doing, but she also saw how people enjoyed it more.

Aubrey on the other hand saw it very differently and told her so when they got backstage "I told you she wasn't a Bella"

Chloe looked to Beca, remembering what she said to her at the riff off about no one fighting her corner and decided this time she would try and do exactly that "Aubrey don't-"

"No that's okay" Beca shook her head, seeing what she was doing but didn't want to make things worse "You don't have to pretend you have a say in the group, right?"

Chloe's face dropped, even more so to when they first met and Beca put her down. Cause this hurt more. After all the time they had spent together and how close they had gotten, getting put down from her hurt more than ever.

"Your attitude sucks, your a grade A pain in my ass and I know you're hooking up with Jesse"

Jesse then came out of nowhere behind Beca "Whoa, whoa Aubrey calm down we're not hooking up I swear-"

"Jesus Christ that's perfect, of course you're here right now" Beca scowled. After Beca got arrested after their first stage in ICCA they got into an argument, it slipping out that Beca was confused about Chloe and wanting to shut it out she also shut Jesse out. Plus he called her dad after getting arrested and she really wanted to slap him over the head for that.

"I don't need your help okay? Can you back off?"

She got the same look from Jesse that she got from Chloe and it was the last thing she needed at this moment of time, so she just stormed out. She got outside and rested against the wall, pressing the back of her head against it and letting out a breath.

"Is that really what you think?" she soon heard Chloe say. Beca turned her head and opened her eyes to her "What?"

"That I don't have a say?"

Beca sighed and stood up straight from against the wall "What does it matter what I think, Chloe?"

"It does to me"

Beca looked at her and shrugged as she asked plainly "Why?"

Chloe opened her mouth to say something but quickly stopped herself, she didn't answer Beca's question, she just had one of her own "I tried to help back there. You know like you said I didn't do at the riff off and you just shut me down"

"Chloe I-" Beca held up her clenched little hands and groaned, looking away from her with her eyes closed for a moment and quickly saying as she took her eyes to her and put her hands quickly back to her side "I was trying to look out for you there! I saw what you were doing okay and thanks but this group means a hell of a lot more to you than it does to me so in this situation I was giving you a free pass in sticking up for me"

"I don't need or want free passes from you"

"You were trying to help me, I was just trying to help you. Maybe we're both guilty in caring too much" Beca muttered glumly as she took steps back and turned.

Chloe then building up the courage to call to her "You're wrong. You think that you can't care about people but you can. You think you don't want to but you do. And you think this group doesn't mean that much to you but it does. I can see it, Beca"

"Right. Because you know me" Beca contradicted as she turned to her.

But Chloe just nodded and said with confidence "Yeah. I do"

Beca stared at her, she took in a breath and shook her head. Dodging the subject in order to drop this kind of tension that was messing with her head, she motioned her arm to the building "Well we aren't going to go further in the rounds anyway after that. So we can all go back to our lives, and please Chloe, have the surgery for your nodes. For your sake as well as anyone else worrying"

She turned back around and this time, Chloe didn't have anything to say, she just went back into the building and again they went their separate ways, this time for more than just a few hours.

They hadn't spoke over spring break, at all. Everything seemed to just fall apart after that night.

Beca stayed in campus and just moped around, doing whatever she could to ease her boredness. Whatever she could to stop herself from picking up the phone and calling Chloe. Who was off getting her surgery for her nodes as Chloe told her the night after they last spoke, telling her that she was sorry for what happened and that she was going to take her advice.

And Beca hated herself for not texting back, it was a dick move. She knew how big of a deal it was for Chloe but she remained silent through her anger and hurt. Which is why she was surprised to get a text from her out of the blue one day when she was just chilling in her room.

Chloe Beale:

Bellas are back in for Lincoln Centre. But it won't be worth it without you there, not for me anyway. Please let's try and put everything behind us as a group and do this together.

We all need you in this, Beca. Not just me.

We're having a meeting tomorrow morning, 10AM sharp. Hope you come x

Beca just stared at the text and looked around at what she had been doing for the past two weeks, just wallowing in self pity and guilt. Surrounding herself with stupid movies that she'd say she would never watch. All of them being ones that Chloe said were her favourites, which she tried to tell herself was a coincidence but deep down she knew that wasn't true.

The next morning, just as the meeting was starting. Beca paid a visit to Jesse, if she was going to mend the error of her ways she should start with him first. He truly was an innocent party, after waiting in front of his door for what felt like forever he finally opened up. But didn't seem too pleased to see her.

"Hey. Tried to call you I left you a bunch of messages"

"Yeah I got them" he replied chided as he kept a cold expression.

"I'm sorry that we fought, I was and I overreacted and Aubrey makes me crazy"

His expression and voice softened but she could tell he was still pissed "Seriously? You think I'm mad because you yelled at me"

"No I know-"

"No you don't, you think you know but you don't. You push away anyone who could possibly care about you. I've been here for you the whole time, Chloe has been here for you the whole time but you shut off. Why is that?"

She found it hard to come up with any real response "I don't know"

"Well you better figure it out, Beca. I don't know what's going on with you, seriously. Whether it's this thing with Chloe or your dad being angry with you. I don't know cause you don't say anything. So I'm done with whatever this is"

"Jesse-"

"I'm done" he shut the door and that was it. Like she did, he needed time. So she gave it him.

But he was right, she was all over the place cause her feelings were all over the place.

Before going to the Bellas, she decided to pay a visit to her dad.

And he tried to get her to get her feelings out as much as possible "You just shut me out"

"Yeah well I shut everyone out don't take it personally" she muttered, looking away from him for a moment before saying "It's just easier"

"It's also really lonely" he said gently.

Beca once again looked away from him and broke out into a rather tearful grin, looking to the floor and said "What do I do?"

"Well, that's up to you" he gave her a smile and leaned forward, putting his hand on her arm "But just know I'll support you in every way I can. All I need to know is that you really mean it"

Beca nodded and gave him a tight smile, she took in a breath and then just said with exhaustion of bottling things up "There's something else...it's about a girl in my group"

Her dad leaned back and said in a light hearted sigh "Ah. Hate her or something?"

Beca bit her lip and slowly shook her head "No it's not that...it's actually" she scratched her forehead and let out a breath "It's kind of the opposite"

She was now too scared to look at him, feeling as if she had already said too much. But she eventually did take her eyes to him and saw that his expression had altered only slightly to being curious for her to explain. But not curious with shock or horror or anger. Just innocent curiosity, he shrugged "What do you mean, Bec?"

She let out a laugh and put her hands on the back of her head "I don't know I'm just..." she looked at him for a moment and then just said it "Having these feelings"

After making up with everyone in the group, Beca had the idea of them connecting as group somewhere other than the auditorium. As they all headed to pool like she suggested, Beca quickly turned to Chloe and said in a more quiet voice "I'm so sorry. The way I talked to you after the semi-finals was insanely shitty"

Chloe shrugged and shook her head "We were both emotional. I was harsh"

"But you were right, bout all of it"

"So were you" Chloe said with a kind smile, squeezing onto Beca's hand for a moment before nodding and adding on "If it weren't for what you said. I wouldn't have gone and had the surgery"

"But now we're back on?"

She just shrugged "The doctors said if I had carried on without the surgery then I seriously would have damaged my voice, and now that I've had it done, it's healed well enough to continue singing...so I should be thanking you"

"Then you're welcome" Beca lightly teased, to which Chloe laughed at and then tugged her arm "Let's stop hanging around and see what your idea is at the pool"

Beca smiled to her and this time allowed Chloe to once again link her as they walked to the pool, something she has shrugged off ever since the initiation night.

But they went down to the pool and Beca soon took the lead in directing the group to find their new sound for the finals. And they all worked together, when Chloe started singing. Beca couldn't help but get briefly distracted.

Then when her lyrics came up "I was thinking 'bout her, thinkin 'bout me, thinkin 'bout us, what we gone be" she couldn't help but look at her as she said it. Butterflies going off and everything, something she has never had. But eventually she tore her eyes away and looked at the rest of the group before it became noticeable.

Getting it out to her dad that she was having some kind of feelings for another woman was the hardest thing. She still didn't know what she was putting this down to, she was still trying to figure out. But knowing no matter what happens she'll still have her dads support made her feel all that more comfortable.

All she knew right now is that she and Chloe had some close bond, she couldn't imagine her not being in her life. And right now that was enough for her.

With luck, Aubrey liked the sound Beca had created and they had finally found something new that was going to blow the crowd away, hopefully anyway. But doing something this different compared to what audiences was used to was surely going to make an impact.

They had that on lock down, and now the rather vocal Lily had another idea to put in play. It turned out she was quite the beat boxer and suggested throwing that in there too. So when they got their songs and put them together, they threw that in there too because why the hell not. This time round was all about trying new things for the Bellas. That now included their uniforms being altered.

Everything was changed and fitted, they were ready for the finals, more than they'll ever be. On the bus, heading to Lincoln Centre, Beca looked to Chloe and saw her shaking hands that were lay in her lap.

She said nothing, she just looked straight ahead as she reached for her hand and took hold of it, Chloe looked to her and smiled. But also said nothing.

They all walked into the Lincoln Centre with their heads held high, having as much pride and confidence as possible, Beca walked over to Jesse and apologised for everything before he went on stage, saying how she was starting to figure things out.

She looked over to Chloe and quietly said to him "You were right about a lot of things"

He just nodded with a kind smile now on his face "Apology accepted. Good luck" he shrugged "With all of it"

Beca gave him a tight smile "Yeah, good luck"

Jesse and the Trebles went on stage and seriously gave the audience a show. But it wasn't anything they were particularly worried about, whatever happened now didn't really matter. They had each other. Beca turned, looking to Chloe and then saying as she looked to them all "I love you awesome nerds"

They grinned to her and after a few carefully picked words from Fat Amy, they headed out on stage to give the performance of their lives. And they did, they seriously put everything that they had into it all, more importantly they were having the time of their lives.

Beca and Chloe sand beside each other, danced beside each other. And felt like they had their world at their feet.

At the end, it was clear that everyone loved what they had done. The whole theatre were on their feet and screaming, all for them. Beca could see how much that meant to Chloe and Aubrey especially, they never thought they would get here again and the certainly never thought they would get this kind of reaction.

They all felt built up on adrenaline and love. A dangerous mix. Chloe wrapped her arms around Beca as they all stood there on stage, giving her a tight squeeze and grinning to her. Completely in awe of each other before they were pulled apart from everyone else for an embrace.

When they made their way off stage, Beca felt two hands go on her hips in an attempts to tickle, she turned and saw Chloe grin to her "And it all started with a shower"

Beca just laughed, shaking her head as she stood closely to her "You're such a weirdo"

They stood there for a moment Beca's smile slowly fading as the moment built up into something more. Finding herself glancing from Chloe's lips to her eyes and seeing that Chloe was noticing it and not moving away. With caution, Beca decided now was the time to take a chance, she slowly leaned forward and again noticing Chloe hadn't moved back, she pressed her lips against hers for a few tender seconds and then pulled back whilst still looking at Chloe.

The redhead opened her eyes and just stared at Beca for a moment, then sighed with what seemed to be relief "Thank god, all these months I was beginning to think I was imagining this stuff in my head"

Before Beca could say anything, Chloe was now the one to return to move, cupping her cheeks and leaning forward in a much more eager manner and pulled her lips to hers. They may be on the sidelines but it didn't go unnoticed.

Fat Amy nodded as she muttered to Stacie "I saw this coming" then beside Stacie, Jessica gave Cynthia a $10 from the bet they had on from the beginning. Clearly it wasn't just Jesse who picked up on something.

Beca smile as she pulled back and shook her head "I've been so freaking confused"

"And now?" Chloe said, certainly feeling self assured again.

Beca just looked to her and rolled her eyes "Surprisingly enough. Not so confused anymore"

"About time" Chloe sighed before bringing Beca back again. Making up for all the missed moments she felt they had in these past few months.

They won the championship that night. But Beca and Chloe, they walked away with so much more than just a trophy.
