And this life we lead is a curious thing

Beca and Chloe finally end their fight about semi finals, but still lost a lot of time by ignoring each over the past 3 months. Confronted by the end of school they finally spend their last time together in which Chloe remembers her feelings for Beca. What happens if Beca will move to LA? What happens if Chloe tells her about her feelings? And what happens if fiction meets real life and Pitch Perfect characters meet Pitch Perfect actors? Don't want to give too much plot away - just stay tuned and check it out.

A/N: So this is the first time I actually considered writing a whole Fan Fiction in english.

I don't even know where this will be going or how long it will be going, but I'll move to America in 1 week to be an Au Pair and there will be a lot of free time to write new chapters. I hope you all are excited as I am and enjoy this story. Have fun while reading. xxx CinderAnnie

I don't own any of the persons I'm writing about.

Especially not the Real Life Persons and - I'm sad I have to admit this - I don't own Pitch Perfect or any of the songs mentioned in this FanFic.

„What about going to the cinema on Tuesday?"

Beca blinked and nervously looked down, playing with her hands in her lap.

Chloe was just back in her life and they already felt the same tension they felt 3 months ago.

The red head placed her soft hand on Beca's forearm and forced her to look into her eyes as Chloe continued to talk.

„Hey, I know we haven't done anything together in a long long time, but I'm happy we finally got behind all that stuff and I wanna spend as much time with you as possible before graduation. I mean.. We lost a lot of time so why don't we go back to normal as fast as we can?"

„I know, Chlo.. But.. Aubrey will be there… I.. I don't.. I can't.. They still hate me."

Chloe felt how tense Beca suddenly had become and interlocked their fingers. „Becs, they never hated you. None of them. Not even Aubrey. She was just mad at you for hurting me. You know… She cares. But I told her we spoke and made things clear and that everything is fine again. Just come and see the movie with me. For me. It's a horror movie - I need you."

Beca nodded quickly and managed to put on a small smile. „Okay. But just for you AND.. I want to sit on the edge of our group - next to you."

„…Fine! So I can wrap my body around yours when I get afraid." This typical Chloe sentence finally put a smirk on Beca's lips but the thoughts about the fight between her and the rest of the Bellas were still in her head.

„Are you serious? It's NOT the Beca Mitchell show! You can't just change the set without telling anybody.. Chloe, did YOU know?"

Beca took a step towards the tall blond girl. „Don't involve Chloe in this. She hasn't done anything. It was MY decision and it was great."

Aubrey took a sharp breath. „Oh, Oh yes. I see. Still super self-confident Beca. You know, you never even were a true Bella. I'm glad you did that tonight, so I can tell you to leave the group. Besides - we are all sick of your behavior." Beca looked at Chloe with a shocked sight before glaring back at Aubrey.

„Okay Aubrey, then.." she felt tears coming up her eyes, but Beca Mitchell would never consider to cry. Like.. NEVER EVER.

„Then… You.. Tell me. You haven't seen the audience falling into sleep while our performance? It was boring and we sucked. I just made us better. But okay, you don't like my behavior. ALL OF YOU?" She looked at each of the Bellas. Nearly all of them shot their eyes down and as she met Chloe's eyes, the reahead started to stumble

„Becs… I… It's.. I mean…" but Beca interrupted her. „AAAAH, Okay, I get it. So Aubrey is right. Thanks! If that's what you get for trying… I'm out!"

With these words she threw her scarf into Aubreys direction and left the place.

„Chlo, you know… the night I left the Bellas was the last night we all actually spoke to eachother."

Again Chloe put her softest smile on. „I know. But believe me, everything will be fine."

Suddenly it was Tuesday and Beca prepared herself for the movie night with Chloe and some other Bellas.

She was just searching for a jacket to match her black skinny jeans as the red head knocked on the door.

„I'm coming! I'm… coming." She opened the door and suddenly lost her words as their eyes met.

Chloe was beautiful as always, holding a red streak of hair playfully between her fingers and she smiled even brighter when she saw Beca was actually in time.

„So… You aren't late today, shorty?" Beca rolled her eyes and playfully punched the redhead on her arm, who continued speaking.

„..Good news. We have a car on our own tonight because I want to take you out with me for a surprise after the movie.

So we can listen to our favorite CD of all time for the whole drive." Bec smiled. „Yey.. So.. Katy Perry again, huh?" Chloe let out a sigh.

„No.. we won't dance along to ‚This Is How We Do' while driving today… I know you love that song, but come on. I bet you weren't listening to Taylor Swift for a long long time."

She winked at Beca and took her hand to finally lead her out of the house towards her car.

As they sat down in the car, Chloe turned on the radio and searched for her favorite Swift song, starting to smile as ‚Blank Space' started to play.

She glanced at Beca and started the engine, realizing the brunette girl was lip syncing the whole lyrics.

Confused she tried focusing on the street, but still recognized Beca moving her lips.

The brunette seemed to remember every word of Chloe's favorite song which made no sense, because actually Beca used to hate it.

When it ended and the next song started playing Chloe sent Beca a short smile. „So.. Do you still hate that song as much as you used to do?"

Confused by that question Beca shrugged her shoulders. „It's okay.. haven't heard it in a long time."

Chloe knew it was a lie, how should Beca know the lyrics to it? And Beca, Beca just hoped Chloe would never find out that she indeed bought the album and listened to it quite often to remember their shared moments listening to the songs and singing along.

She even got a small video of Chloe singing a part of ‚Blank Space' as they were in Beca's room the other day which she watched every time she missed the redhead too bad.

Beca would never admit it, but she liked these songs a lot, just because she thinks about Chloe every time she listens to them.

As soon as they arrived at the parking lot in front of the cinema, Chloe found the group of girls waiting for them, putting every girl in for a tight hug.

Beca just stood there with a shy smile and mumbled a quick hello to avoid any eye contact, but as soon as she started thinking being there was the wrong decision, the girls pulled her in for a group hug. Aubrey, on the edge of the hug, not touching Beca, looked at her with a (very very) small smile.

„Nice to see you again, Beca." Chloe started to grin like a „honey-cake-horse" seeing her two best friends finally being social around each other again.

She knew Aubrey still hated Beca but that didn't matter for her at that moment. She wouldn't tell her, because she hoped everything would get better. They just needed some time.

The group ended up speaking about their last days because they hadn't seen each other in a while since the final exams had started.

Finally Jessica involved Beca into the conversation. „So Shorty, what about you? What are your plans after graduation? Still music?"

Beca, not that happy she had to speak, smiled bright as she realized Chloe wasn't lying. None of the girls seemed to hate her and so she started feeling less tense and smiled at Jessica. „You know, music is super important and I indeed got plans. After graduation I'm gonna move to LA and see how to become a producer."

Chloe heart stopped for a second and she sent Beca a shocked look. „You… You move to LA?" Bec looked at the ground for a second but her eyes went up again to meet Chloes eyes for a sad reply. „Yeah, I mean.. Staying at the college is not an option.. So, it's normal everybody goes his own way after graduation."

Chloe just nodded and shot her eyes down which caused Beca to place a hand on her back. As their eyes met again, Beca recognized tears forming into those beautiful blue eyes. „Hey, Chlo.. We still got Skype and planes and.. can meet each other.. right?" Again she nodded as a lonely tear ran down her cheeks.

Beca placed a kiss on Chloe's forehead and squeezed her hand. „I won't loose you again, I promise. Staying in contact is not that hard these days."

Chloe opened her mouth for a respond but Fat Amy's voice, who arrived back from the ticket counter, was way to loud.

„YES, ACA-BITCHES. I finally got our tickets. Now let us go and get scared by a stupid movie. Hey shorty, you here? So redhead changed her mind? Aca-Awesome!"

Beca was about to ask Chloe what changing her mind meant, but Fat Amy grabbed her arm and dragged her into the entrance.

The movie was quite boring, actually kinda bad, so there was no need to cuddle because of an afraid red head. Because of that, Beca was a bit disappointed, to be honest, she had hoped for Chloe to take her hand to feel safe while the movie was on, but she was still glad she spent the night with Chloe - and the other Bellas - and thrilled to get to know what Chloe had planned for the rest of their night. As they said good bye to the girls and Chloe was about to hug the other girls, Beca finally found herself in front of Aubrey who raised an eyebrow. „You know.. I see how you two behave. And.. I'm very glad she is happy finally again. Just one thing. Hurting her is not an option. Keep that in mind.

I'm gonna kill you if she ever cries because of you, again." Beca bit her lip and nodded in agreement. „I won't. I promise."

Chloe arrived next to the talking pair and heared the last words. Raising an eyebrow she looked at both of them but decided to ignore the words.

„Becs, lets go! We are losing important time." Beca sighed and stopped herself from saying ‚Thanks.' while managing to say a short good bye, falling into her seat in Chloe's car.

„Okay Red, what are we going to do now?" A wide grin started to find its place on Chloes face.

„Party!" Bec furrowed an eyebrow. „Party?" Chloe rolled her eyes. „Yeah, party. In a club. With real music. And real dancing."

„No way!" Becas eyes widened. „You know I don't dance. Forget about that! Never ever!"

Beca knew she had no chance to keep away from that party as soon as Chloe played her joker. And she did.

Big blue puppy-eyes right in front of her, only covered by a streak of red hair falling out of Chloe's loose bun.

Before she was even able to move her hand and swipe the streak away, Beca had reached out and put the hair behind Chloe's ear.

Suddenly the world stopped. Looking into each others eyes, light blue melting into dark blue, the two girls held their breath.

The brunettes hand still rested on Chloe's cheek and Beca was unable to take it away.

They sat there like that for a moment, still holding their breath, until Beca started to clear her throat.

„Oh, sorry. Yeah, I mean.. Let's go to the party. Just have to search for my ID."

And while the brunette girl shuffled in her hand bag to search for her ID, the other girl slowly moved her hand to the place the brunette girl had touched her skin to keep the warmth of the touch. A smile formed on her lips and her stomach started to feel different. But it didn't bother Chloe.

She knew it. She knew it for a long long time and that was the reason she let Beca back in her life.
