Hey guys :D This is the result of my first attempt to write a Pitch Perfect fanfiction. The story starts at the beginning of the third movie cause I'm very unhappy with the fact that Beca and Jesse broke up between the second and third movie. So I decided to change the course of the story a little bit. It will take some time to upload the next chapters but I wanted to upload the first chapter to see if you like it or not. If I can see that you like it, I may think about to upload the next chapter earlier but I just need some more time cause I want it to be good :) Now I hope you like it and have fun while reading.

Chapter 1

Beca unlocked the front door to her apartment she was sharing with her friends Amy and Chloe. Her friends were still out for work but she had a lot to do at home, so she left work far more earlier. She threw her bag onto her bed, closed the door to her room and entered the kitchen to wash the dishes off. Chloe organized a party yesterday evening until early morning to celebrate her new job as a dance teacher. Beca wanted to surprise her by inviting some old friends from the Bella's, for example Aubrey or Stacie.

Chloe was totally drunk, as well as their other friends, and Beca decided it was her job to take care of them. Aubrey stayed overnight and slept at their couch until she left around eight in the morning because she had to go to work the following day. Stacie took the train after the party was over and the other party members had left as well.

Beca brought Chloe to her bed and ordered Amy to sleep as well while she cleaned most of the apartment without disturbing Aubrey. Afterwards she went to sleep but woke up two hours later by the sound of her alarm clock. She touched Amy's shoulder, who slept with her in one room, but the blonde girl wouldn't wake up. So Beca went into the bathroom and got ready for her job, which she decided to quit the next day. She hadn't told Amy or Chloe yet but they'd notice when she got home tomorrow. After showering, she'd left the apartment with a note for Chloe.

Beca was ripped from her memories of yesterday when she heard a noise at the front door.

"I'm home" yelled a happy Chloe and joined Beca in the kitchen. "You cleaned the whole room?"

"Of course I did", Beca said. "You were working and Amy was no help either!"

"I'm always a help" interrupted Amy, standing in the doorway. "Wait! Help with what?"

Beca raised an eyebrow and suppressed a smile.

"I'm so hungry" continued the blonde without a break.

"There is the fridge."

"Thanks. I live here as long as you do",Amy said but opened the fridge loudly.

Chloe stood up and fetched the coffee machine. "Do you want a coffee too?", she asked and looked at Beca, who simply nodded.

"I need to tell you something", Chloe said, handing Beca her coffee.

Amy jumped on the table and sat down on it. "Tell me about your problems, baby!"

Beca grinned and threw a cloth in her direction.

"It's a serious thing", Chloe added patiently.

"Sorry" said Beca and Amy nodded.

"I have a new colleague."

Beca and Amy looked at each other and didn't realize what was so serious about it. "Uh, congratulations?!", Beca said hesitantly.

"Let me finish", Chloe said. "Guess who it is."

"Bumper" laughed Amy and Beca joined her but shut up when she saw Chloe's gaze.

"It's Jesse's girlfriend!"

Now Beca could no longer suppress her laughter. "Nice joke, Chloe. Jesse and his girlfriend live 3000 miles away. Why and how is she supposed to work with you here?"

"That would be a long journey home after work", Amy muttered.

Beca winked at her and left the room to get her laptop.

"What are you doing?" asked Chloe, who had followed her.

Beca turned around and looked at her in surprise. "I have to do some things for work", she lied. She sat down on her bed and put the laptop on her lap so she could lean back comfortably in the pillows.

"You don't believe me" screamed the ginger as she sat next to her. Beca took off her headphones and sighed annoyed.

"Of course I don't believe you. That's is the biggest shit I've ever heard."

"She talked to me this morning and told me that she heard from Jesse about me because he was with me at the same university. When she heard that I'm working as a dance teacher, she came to me and I tested her today. She is really good! She spoke to me after the dance rehearsal and mentioned that she came here with Jesse cause he got a similar job here as in L.A. and both now live three streets away from us."

While listening, Beca's eyes grew bigger and her mouth opened in disbelief. Fat Amy had entered the room in the middle of Chloe's talk and was now sitting on her bed watching Beca, who was expected to say something. But all she could do was starring at Chloe and breathe. She hadn't expected to hear such news today.

She was satisfied by her current situation. Sure, she wanted to quit her job but only because she was unhappy with it. She hadn't thought about her ex-boyfriend for many months and she thought she would never have to do it again, but now he was again so close to her that all the memories, she had suppressed successfully, came back to her mind. She never thought his name would affect her so much but on the other hand it was pretty obvious because she was his girlfriend for almost five years until they split and he will always be the person who was closer to her than anyone else. She shook her head lightly. It was a long-term relationship and she may had regretted it a little but she was over him. Determined to ignore the familiar feeling in her stomach, she looked back at Chloe who was still waiting for her answer. Amy watched her attentively. Amy knew Beca a little better than Chloe and so Beca was fully aware that Amy had her own interpretation of Beca's brief silence. She decided to talk to her later.

"That sounds great for him", she said instead, sharing a look with Amy before smiling and pretending to be happy for him. "I'm glad that he is happy now and that his new girl has found a good job with you at her side. I think you will be a good help to her."

Chloe frowned but Beca quickly got up and avoided a continuation of this conversation. She used her best smile to be convincing: "I want to watch some movies tonight."

"Yeah movies" called Amy and used Beca's acting to distract Chloe further. "I love movies. I want to see a romance."

Beca looked annoyed at the ceiling and Amy quickly tried to change course. "No! No romantic movies. They're overrated. I like comedy movies. I'll make some popcorn."

"Can I help you?", Beca asked and hurried after her, leaving Chloe with a confused look on her face.

Beca went straight into the kitchen, closed the door and took the popcorn, pretending to be busy. Amy stood close to her and watched her with her attentive eyes but Beca successfully ignored her.

Amy whispered "Beca?" when she realized she wouldn't talk to her.

"It's okay, Amy" Beca mumbled so Chloe couldn't hear her. "Really! Everything is fine. It's just...I haven't seen him for many months and I don't know how to feel about this information. He now lives with his girlfriend and I didn't lie when I said that I'm happy that he is happy now. If she makes him happy, so am I. It's the only thing I ever wanted."

"There are many more emotions in you than I ever thought", Amy replied. "I never thought you would care so much for him after you broke up."

"I haven't even thought about him yet", Beca said stressed. "But yes, that's my true opinion and now this conversation is over."

Amy nodded but Beca knew she was dissatisfied with her decision. "Amy, I just want a funny night of movies and popcorn with my best friends, all right?"

She didn't wait for Amy to answer when she passed her with a bowl of popcorn in her hand. Chloe had prepared the couch for a long evening. She had taken a few pillows out of their bedroom and much more fluffy blankets. It was Amy's turn to look for a movie, and as she did, Beca and Chloe fetched a few drinks from the kitchen. Beca quickly changed her clothes from blazer and jeans to a more comfortable sweatpants and a t-shirt. She tied her hair together and took her place next to Chloe on the couch.

It was a long time since they sat together on the sofa and watched a movie. They shouldn't call it watching because they were just talking, and it didn't wasn't long before Beca got a handful of popcorn and threw it in Amy's direction.

"You asked for it", the blonde shouted. "Fat Amy-power!" With it she took a pillow and threw it right in Beca's face, who needed a minute to realize what happened. A nasty grin appeared on her face as she grabbed the blanket, pulled it over Amy's head and jumped at her with a scream. Chloe, sitting between the two girls, pressed her body into the sofa so as not to be hurt by Beca's moving legs.

"Girls", she called and her friends stopped their action when Amy grabbed Beca's waist to throw her from her back onto the sofa. Beca held Amy tight and looked at Chloe, her hair all over her face and she breathed heavily. Amy started to laugh and threw a pillow in Chloe's direction, who jumped to the side and launched a pillow-attack on Beca. Chloe's body was pushed into the sofa as Beca lay on top of her and tried to hit her with the pillow. In self-defense, Chloe laid her hands on Beca's waist and tickled her. Beca shrieked and tried to escape but Chloe was a strong girl. All Beca could do was laugh and squirm until Amy decided to help Beca and pulled Beca away from the ginger's body. Chloe continued to lie on her back and giggled slightly as Amy asked for a short break. Beca looked completely exhausted as she sat down on the edge of the couch and breathed deeply. They exchanged amused glances and agreed that it had been a long, hilarious evening. But Amy was exhausted from all the movement and suggested to watch the movie. Beca lay down on her stomach with a pillow under her head and struggled with her tiredness that tried to overwhelm her. Chloe's head lay on her back so she could feel her sleeping friend's quiet breathing. Beca lost the fight with her eyes and slid into a calm sleep.

Beca woke up in the middle of the night because of a bad dream. She closed her eyes for a while to calm down and concentrate on reality. She looked around because she didn't feel the familiar material of her bed. She saw that Chloe had rolled herself up into a ball under a blanket. She hadn't noticed anything about Beca's nightmares. Amy had fallen asleep in a sitting position and Beca tried to be quiet while she took a blanket and pulled it over Amy's body. Then she sneaked into her own room, lifted the blanket and rested her head on her own pillows. This felt much more comfortable than on the couch and it only took seconds for her to fall asleep again.

"It's time to wake up!" Beca closed her eyes and tried to cuddle herself deeper into the mattress. How could Amy already be wide awake in the morning? Of course. She didn't have a job and made fun of waking Beca and Chloe up early. If Beca were in her position, she would just go back to sleep. Beca raised her head and looked at her watch, moaned and dropped her head back into the pillow. She knew Amy was right and that it was an ordinary working day but she hadn't slept very well that night and she already felt it in her bones. She jumped off the bed, ignored the incoming dizziness and took her clothes to get dressed. When she arrived in the kitchen, Chloe was already sitting on her chair, eating her daily breakfast. She gave Beca a little smile, packed her stuff and was the first to leave the apartment. Chloe was always the first person to leave because she wanted to prepare herself for dance classes and she was one of the few people in the building who got access to the dance hall where she could concentrate cause she was alone. Beca left the apartment second after her breakfast and Amy stayed at home, doing things Amy was about to do.

Beca did what was expected of her. She mixed a previous version of a song. That was her job as a music producer and in her eyes the song could be so much better. So she remixed it and presented it to her colleague who really liked it but Beca and the singer started a discussion about the new mix and Beca decided it was the right decision to quit this job. She wanted to produce good music and not fix a finished version and fight with the singer whether his version is better than hers or not. She did this for a long time but that time was now over. She had thought long and hard about whether it was the right decision but today she doesn't find this decision difficult at all. She got her things and left the building to go home. The singer had just looked at her funny and her colleague had stared at her with her mouth open but Beca was aware of the consequences and was willing to bear them.

She expected Amy in their room and Chloe was supposed to be at work but when she opened the front door, she saw two pairs of shoes and heard a soft whisper from the living room. Why had Chloe come home early without telling her? Oh right, she hadn't looked on her mobile phone for hours. She was afraid her ex co-worker would call her, so she turned it off.

"Chloe, are you at home?", Beca asked and entered the living room.

She smiled when she found Chloe on the sofa but her smile froze seconds later. Chloe had a shocked look in her eyes and Beca discovered the reason early on. Next to Chloe sat a young, blonde girl smiling at Beca, who just looked at her in surprise.
