THE LAST FOUR YEARS
Based on the musical The Last Five Years (I saw the movie and I had mixed emotions. Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan slayed.)
I loved the movie so much and I thought why not write a Bechloe fanfic. I've made a few changes though. I won't include the songs but I might use a few lyrics. They didn't get married, they just broke up.
If you haven't watched TL5Y yet, I'm sorry…spoiler alert! Well just a little bit… I added dates but just refer to the year.
I don't own The Last Five Years and Pitch Perfect.
Here are the first two chapters. This is my first multi-chapter story. Please let me know what you think :)
2015
Chloe folded the paper and tossed it on top of the small table in front of her. She curled into a ball as tears stream down her face. There were a lot of painful words from the letter she read. Yes, it was from Beca. Of all the words, the word that struck her the most was "Goodbye."
It's over. Beca is gone. She decided it's time to move on. Chloe cried even more as she let those words sink in. Chloe couldn't help but blame herself with what happened. She regretted everything she said that made Beca go. She had the perfect relationship and she wanted it back. She wanted Beca back. But now it's too late.
Two months had already passed and Chloe felt the same. She stayed at home like she was hermit. She doesn't want to go out anymore. Aubrey calls her from time to time but all she could get was a weak "okay" from Chloe then silence. Aubrey tried to keep up the conversation but it was no use.
One day Aubrey visited Chloe. She was worried about her best friend. She knocked on the door and thankfully Chloe responded.
"Come in," Chloe said faintly.
Aubrey turned the door knob and looked around the apartment. Nothing had changed. All of the things were untouched since Beca left. She was surprised to see photos of Chloe and Beca still on the shelves. Then she saw Chloe lying in the couch and staring at the TV. Aubrey knows that she's not even watching. She's probably thinking about Beca.
"Chloe, you need to take care of yourself," Aubrey said in a calm voice. She lifted her best friend's legs and sat down beside her. Chloe didn't respond. She just continued staring at the TV. Aubrey rubbed her legs to comfort her.
"I honestly don't know what to do. It was all my fault. I should have just…," Chloe said with a shaky voice and started to cry again, "She seems to be doing fine now but it still hurts," Chloe sat up and rested her head on Aubrey's shoulder.
Chloe saw advertisements and Beca seemed happy with her life. She tried to ignore it but she couldn't. Seeing the brunette happy and successful was like a knife stabbed through her heart. It was like their relationship didn't affect her at all.
Aubrey hugged Chloe and rubbed the side of her arms. She was upset with what happened between the couple. All she wanted to do was to teach Beca a lesson. Aubrey saw how happy Chloe was with Beca and she couldn't believe Beca just threw it all away.
"Chlo, maybe it wasn't meant to be. I saw how hard you tried to save your relationship but Beca is young and ambitious. I think she wasn't matured enough to be in a relationship. " Aubrey forced a small smile but it wasn't helping.
Chloe didn't react to what her best friend had said but it was the truth. Beca had goals she wanted to achieve and Chloe thought that maybe it was better off this way since she was just a distraction to Beca.
