Beca never knew her mom. Her dad never let her. That's why she resented him so much, that and she couldn't stand his wife. The woman was obnoxious, talking about how she never saw Beca with anyone. Or how Beca was too antisocial. The only reason she was there was because the second she turned 18, she was leaving. But no, her dad found yet another way to ruin that. Making her go to college, not just any school, Barden University. Upside was, she got to meet her favorite person in the world, no not Jesse, Chloe Beale. She was the sole reason, Beca stayed at Barden. Yeah she was dating Jesse, but the relationship was coming to an end. It was going nowhere even over the span of three years.
Emily had both of her parents. Not only that, but she was a Junk. A Barden Bellas legacy. Her dad and her never really clicked, and that's where she knew things weren't perfect between her parents. She didn't look a single thing like her dad, she had a couple of her mother's features, but everything else she didn't know. Who did she get the rest of her face from? Emily had no clue. So she went through elementary school, middle school, and finally high school being the awkward tall girl obsessed with music. She didn't have a single boyfriend throughout high school. Emily preferred the boys in books. They were at least ten times better. They were less cocky, less douchebaggy, however they didn't exist
Gage was sick of everything, sick of his parents lies, sick of not knowing everything. Just like his younger sister, he was curious about who his father really was. Unlike his Emily, he was popular throughout high school. He was the running back for the school's football team, the forward of the basketball team, not to mention he starred in most of the school's musicals. Girls thought he was pretty good looking too, he was tall, muscular, had dark hair and blue eyes. He was the golden boy. When he graduated and left for Georgia State, there wasn't anyone to stand up for Emily, so people started to mess with her more. After he graduated from Georgia State, he was drafted for the Dallas Cowboys.
Beca POV
"Gage, I'm fine here. No, I'm not dating anyone. Alright, calm down. Yeah, you can come down and visit this weekend. Yeah, I'll be going to your game next month, have I ever missed the first game of the season? Whatever Gage, yeah. Bye." Emily said, hanging up her phone and sliding it back into her pocket.
"Everything good Junk?" I asked, turning over to the taller girl.
"Yeah, is it alright if my older brother comes and visits this weekend, I haven't seen him in a while and-"
"It's cool, just make sure it's good with everyone else."
Someone snaked their arms around my waist and whispered, "Hey you,"
"Hey Red, 'sup?" I said, smiling at her.
"OTP," Emily muttered, leaving, "Make sure you use protection."
"When are you breaking up with Jesse?" Chloe asked, sitting where Emily sat but a little closer to me.
"Chlo, I need a little more time." I sighed,
"One more week, I don't like sharing." Chloe said, leaning her head on my shoulder.
"I know," I said, wrapping an arm around her. "Emily's older brother is visiting from Texas, he's some hotshot football guy."
"Cool, sounds nice." Chloe said, trying to hold back a yawn.
"Is wittle baby Chloe tired?" I teased, getting up and offering her a hand.
"Shut it Becs and take me to bed." Chloe said, jumping into my arms.
I was internally yelling at myself not to drop her. I'm not the strongest if you couldn't already tell. Besides, Chloe would cut me off on kisses if I dropped her. Once we got to the room that she shared with Stacie, the girls said Chloe and I couldn't share a room for this reason: we'd be having sex every ten minutes. It's not completely a lie, so I can't really argue with them.
"Cuddle with me Beca," Chloe muttered,
Being the whipped idiot I was, I got into bed with my ginger.
Gage POV
I got to Emily's sorority/acapella house thing on Friday afternoon instead of Saturday morning to surprise her. That kinda backfired on me, Emily was nowhere to be found, but a guy with flowers in his hand was.
"Who are you?" I asked, walking up the front steps.
"Who are you?" He asked me, standing up. "Okay, whoa you're tall."
"That doesn't answer my question." I said, folding my arms across my chest.
"GAGE! GAge! Ohmygosh Gage!" Emily said, sprinting over to the front of the house with a group of girls walking with her.
"'Sup baby sis," I smirked as I got a koala hug from the greatest hugger ever, Ms. Emily Junk.
"I wasn't expecting you 'til tomorrow, how'd you get here so fast?" Emily said, freaking out from the excitement.
"Caught the first flight to Atlanta to visit Mom, and then got a rental to drive up here. I kept on getting dirty looks from the people though. Guess they wanted me to play the Falcons instead."
"So, Emily, I know we haven't known each other for very long but-" The guy started,
"No." I answered for Emily,
"Gage," Emily groaned,
"Emily," I mocked her,
She shooed me, and I walked over to the group of girls.
"Hola," I said, waving.
"Hey, I'm Chloe, you're Emily's older brother right?" A ginger said, stepping up to me.
"Yeah, I'm Gage. Nice to meet you," I said, shaking Chloe's hand.
"Bye Benji," Emily called after him as he left, as the group of girls started to trickle into the house.
Before a decently tall girl with light brown hair and killer blue eyes could go through the door, I stopped her.
"Hey beautiful, didn't catch your name back there." I said, flashing her a smile.
She bit her lip, sizing me up, "Stacie, Stacie Conrad."
"Gage, she's off limits." Emily stated,
"Em, you suck." I said, sticking my tongue out at her.
"Is he really in the NFL, I expected him to be more serious?" One of the girls said,
"I'm not off limits, and even then that'd be more exciting." Stacie said passing by me, she swayed her hips for effect.
"Perv," Emily said, pushing me onto the couch.
"Have y'all eaten yet?" I asked,
"Nope," Cynthia Rose, pretty sure that was her name, said popping the p.
"Dinner's on me then, Buffalo Wild Wings?" I suggested,
"Free food, let's go." Beca said, pulling Chloe up.
"Are you alright if you take some people? I can bring anyone else in my car." Chloe said, walking with Beca to her car. Beca opened the driver's door for Chloe, smiling stupidly as she got to the passenger side.
"Are they together?" I asked, as the rest of us walked to my rented Jeep Cherokee.
"Not yet," Jessica called out,
"No Gage, you can't impale my OTP." Emily said,
"Jeez, I don't always think about girls Em. Besides, they'd be cute together, I'm not a home wrecker." I said, pulling out of the large driveway area.
