It was a quiet evening in the Bellas home. Beca had arrived back from her internship at around 4:30pm. When she walked through the door there was no noise for a change.

There was no Stacie chatting about what boys she had been texting that day, no Flo bringing up her bad times in Mexico with her brother, no Amy talking about how she is now a one man lady. It was so quiet that if Lilly was talking, it would echo throughout the house. Beca had been given multiple tasks to do tonight. Her boss wanted to see some of her new mixes on his desk by Monday, and it was already Wednesday. She knew she had to get started on them straight away. Beca doesn't mess around when it comes to her profession.

A couple of hours had passed. It was hitting on 7pm now and Beca still had her headphones over her ears and was mixing tracks up in her bedroom. She took her headphones off from her ears and let them rest around her neck. Beca had became frustrated and stressed at the fact that she couldn't find tracks that mixed well. She wanted to produce music, and after her boss heard Emily's track he was very impressed and raised the bar for Beca. She had been working for a solid 2 hours now, no break. Beca ran her fingers through her silky, brown hair, leaned back into her chair and groaned. She turned to her right and something caught her eye. Her fingers trailed across her desk to find her black ear expander just lying there. She picked it up and brought it closer to her face, just manoeuvring it in and out of her fingers. Just seeing this little accessory brought back a lot of memories for Beca. Her mind started trailing back to when she first arrived at Barden.

Beca was strolling around the activities fair after she had met her acquaintance, Kimmy Jin, and had spoke to her father in her dorm room. She was sick and tired of him saying that "Deejaying is not a profession, it's a hobby!" He couldn't understand that she actually wanted to be a music producer. He wouldn't listen to her. She needed some space to clear her head and she thought exploring the activities fair would be a good start. Beca was looking at everyone, spotting the different stereotypes. There was the nerds, the popular boys, the popular girls. She stopped for a second to take this all in. Beca had just turned the corner when a girl approached her.

"Hi, any interest in joining our a cappella group?" This girl was pretty. Wait no, she wasn't just pretty, she was stunning. This girl had bright red hair, and her waves were perfect. Some hair over the shoulders, some hair behind. Her eyes were incredible. Beca swore she could stare into them for all eternity. It was like looking into a crystal blue sea in the Caribbean.

Beca was getting lost in this daydream until she could hear her name,

"Becs?"

Beca blinked a few times before realising that the girl from her daydream was standing on her staircase in front of her desk. This girl was Chloe Beale.

"Beca, I've called your name like 3 times." Chloe said giggling.

This girl is always giggly, she's bubbly and happy all of the time. Her smile is infectious.

"I'm sorry Chlo," Beca replied, "I'm just really stressed out right now. This whole internship has me going crazy."

Chloe seemed concerned, her smile almost falls completely from her face.

"You seem tense, want a back rub?" Chloe followed this with a cheeky wink.

She knew what could make Beca happy. This was one of Chloe's traits. She knew Beca inside out. Immediately, Beca's eyes light up and her lips start to form a smile. Beca remembers Chloe saying this during the retreat. She remembers this like it was yesterday. How Chloe being so close made her insides bubble, how Chloe was able to speak her mind because she felt comfortable with Beca. This girl told her that she regretted not doing enough "experimenting in college". This made Beca feel like she was free falling. But she just had to shake it off. If anything was to happen in that tent, it wouldn't have been very suitable around the other Bellas.

Beca returned to looking at Chloe who has a smile painted on her face. But then again, Chloe always has a smile painted on her face. This is one of the many things Beca loved about her. Beca's lips start to fall from her smile, she shakes her head and runs her fingers through her hair once more.

"No, no, that's alright Chlo. I'm just running out of ideas for these mixes. That's all."

"Want to go on a long, inspiring drive?" The redhead smirks as she stares at Beca, trying to read any expression on the brunettes face.

"Sure, yeah." Beca rushed to get out, "Let me just save what I have so far. I'll meet you at the car in 5."

The ginger smiles and starts excitedly running down the staircase. Beca started to put her keys and phone into her little, over-the-shoulder, bag along with her trusty notepad just incase she finds 'inspiration'. She takes one last look at her desk making sure she isn't forgetting anything and see's her black "ear spike", as Jesse would call it, just sitting there. She makes one last decision to remove her black, gold spiked hoop in exchange of her expander. She looks at herself in her bedroom mirror for the last time and then slowly walks down her staircase to the front door.
