This was a scene that didn't fit into my other multi-chapter fic, but it stuck with me so here it is. I'm not sure where this story is going, but I at least know what comes next. I hope you enjoy.

Chloe POV
We did it! We just gave the most amazing performance ever! I thought as I followed the other girls off the stage. I felt incredible. Seeing that standing ovation was the greatest feeling in the world. Anything was possible. I could feel the grin on my face as I let my eyes find Beca. Then the world stopped, and my heart plummeted. She was grabbing Jesse and pulling him in for a kiss. I couldn't stop the sobbing gasp from escaping my lips. This couldn't be happening. I felt Aubrey stiffen and freeze behind me. I knew that she has also seen this kiss. Suddenly tears were filling my eyes and I bolted up the aisle and out of the door. I couldn't turn to Aubrey because I knew that I would break down in her arms. I was nearly blind with tears as I raced to find the nearest bathroom. As I ran, I tried to hold my shit together. I didn't want anyone else to see my pain. I just barely made it into the bathroom and locked the stall door behind me, when I collapsed as the first gut racking sob escaped my lips.
Why was she kissing him? Beca was supposed to be ours! Aubrey and I had been working up to telling Beca about our desire for her all year. We had thought that after we all sang 'Just the Way You Are' and 'Just a Dream' to each other, that she finally felt the same way about us that we did about her. We just hadn't gotten the chance to tell her as we rushed to put together the set for Finals. Oh God, why didn't we tell her? Now she'll never be ours.
That thought just made me sob harder. I tried to pull myself back together, but every time I did, the image of Beca pulling Jesse in for the kiss played through my mind and I just cried harder.
"Chloe?" Aubrey's soft, sad voice called from the other side of the stall door.
Knowing that she would feel as broken as I did, I forced a deep shuddering breath into my lungs and unlocked the stall door. I threw myself into Aubrey's arms. She held me tightly against her, and I could feel her silent tears dripping onto my shoulder as we cried. After a long time, our tears dried and we gradually broke apart.
"We have to go back." I said, my voice still thick from the tears.
"I know." Aubrey sighed and kissed me gently.
She led me over to the sinks and I looked in the mirror to see the damage done. I sighed. I knew there wasn't going to be much I could do to hide the fact that I had been crying. I knew that my red puffy eyes would be clearly visible to anyone who looked at me. But at least I could wash the mascara trails from my cheeks. I turned on the hot water and slashed it on my face, scrubbing my cheeks clean. Aubrey did the same at the sink next to mine. When we were done she took my hand and we walked slowly back into the theater. No other words were needed between us. We both knew that the other was thinking back over the year and all of the signs that Beca had given us, trying to figure out how we had misread them.
When we walked back into the theater, the announcer was saying, "And in second place, Barden University's Treblemakers!" Aubrey squeezed my hand. I watched as the boys climbed onto the stage to accept their trophy before exiting into the wings. I could still see the Bellas sitting in their seats. I felt a small burn of anticipation trickle through my currently numb body. Maybe we still had a chance to win this. At least then, something good would come from this day.
"Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for! In first place, for the first time in acapella history, we have the all-female team from Barden University, the Barden Bellas!" The crowd when wild and I turned stunned eyes to Aubrey. She looked just as surprised as I did.
Fat Amy broke through our shock as she yelled, "Yeah! Feel the Fat Power!"
I couldn't help but laugh at the Aussie's antics as I pulled Aubrey up the Aisle to join the other Bellas on the stage. Beca got to the trophy first and she raised it above her head laughing and grinning as the audience rose to their feet in a second standing ovation for us. I got caught up in the excitement, pulling Aubrey in for a hug and jumping up and down. She returned the hug for a moment, laughing in my ear, before she froze, her eyes locked on something behind me. I pulled back and turned to see what had caught her eye. Beca stood their smiling at us and holding out the trophy. Her smile faltered as she noticed our red, puffy eyes.
"Um, here, you guys deserve this," she mumbled, not meeting our eyes.
I was confused. Why would she care if we had been crying? I didn't have time to wonder because Aubrey reached out a trembling hand and took the trophy.
"Thanks, Beca," Aubrey said, her mask of composure falling over her face. It was the look she used during the Bellas rehearsals to hide her growing attraction for the small brunette. I forced my own mask of bubbly confidence onto my face and released Aubrey to pull Beca into a hug. My heart broke a little more in my chest as I felt her arms wrap around me.
I ignored the pain and spoke into Beca's ear. "No, Becs, thank you! For everything. You made this happen."
I felt a small shudder go through the other girl as she pulled away, her trademark smirk firmly in place. "Yeah, Beale. I know, I'm awesome," she said rolling her eyes. I just forced a laugh and pushed her away. After a few minutes of celebrating on stage, Aubrey and I decided it was time to move the party back to our hotel.
"Alright ladies, we should head back to the hotel. Chloe and I will stop at the liquor store and meet you there." Aubrey called out over the laughing and cheering girls. Beca shot a glance at us, before quietly following the others from the building.
I sighed as the last of the girls left. Aubrey draped an arm around my shoulder. "I know, Chloe. Tonight will be hard for me too, but we all need to celebrate this win." She said as we left.
"I know, Bre. But I don't know if I can watch her with him."
"Me either, tell you what. We'll make it a Bellas only party and kick out any Trebles if they are in the suites when we get back."
I laughed, warming up to the idea. "Ok, deal." We found the nearest liquor store and quickly stocked up on rum, tequila, beer, and mixers.
Aubrey POV
We were greeted by shouts and laughter when we opened the door to the adjoining suits that the other girls were sharing. Chloe and I had a separate room across the hall from the rest of the girls. I had insisted, knowing that I would need the privacy to calm my nerves before our performance.
"Finally! I thought I would die of thirst!" Amy yelled, grabbing the bag of liquor from my hands.
"Really?" I asked incredulously. "It took us less than an hour!"
Cynthia Rose chuckled. "Yeah, but now the party can really start." She said as she handed Chloe and I shots of tequila.
My eyes met Beca's across the room and irritation and my broken heart made me feel reckless. I down the shot in one go and held out the glass for another. I saw Chloe glance my way from the corner of my eye. I shrugged and took my second shot before grabbing a beer and looking at her. Her eyes held shock and a little worry. The warmth spreading through my stomach encouraged my recklessness and I just smiled at Chloe and gently lifted her shot to her own lips. After only the slightest hesitation, she took the shot. I grinned and pulled her in for a searing kiss. I could taste the tequila on her tongue. When I pulled back from the kiss, Chloe's eyes were dazed as them met my own. I smiled lovingly at her. I knew that we'd be ok. We'd get past this broken heart and focus on building our life together during grad school.
I turned back to the room and saw the shocked stares of the rest of the Bellas. I felt a slight blush creep up my cheeks at the sight. Stacie broke the silence with a surprised, "Damn, that was hot." Everyone laughed and the tension in the room vanished. The girls all went to get drinks before spreading out to talk and laugh in small groups, and I noticed Beca slip out onto the small balcony. I bit my lip and glanced over the room and was surprised to see only female faces.
I turned to Cynthia Rose, "I'm surprised no Trebles tried to crash our party."
She smiled, "I few tried, but Fat Amy told them that this party was only for the champions. And then she shut the door in their faces."
I laughed, appreciating the large blonde. "Good, cause I was going to kick them out anyway."
She laughed in response and moved over to sit next to Stacie. I finally took a sip of my beer and just took in the scene. Chloe moved over to the clock radio in the bedroom, she plugged her iPod into the dock and turned on some dancing music. The Bellas cheered and Stacie and Cynthia Rose got up to push the coffee table out of the way to make room to dance. I moved over to the small kitchen and poured myself another shot when I saw Beca come back into the room. She avoided looking at either Chloe or I and quickly went to join Fat Amy on the couch.
An hour later, we were all plastered. Even Beca was drunk enough to join in the singing and dancing in the living room area of the suite. Chloe was standing in the kitchen watching Beca as she ground against Stacie in the other room. I moved over to her, putting my arms around her.
"You ok?" I asked.
She sighed, "Yeah, I'll be fine." Chloe's voice was full of regret and I sighed inwardly. It wasn't often that Chloe got morose when she drank, but when she did, the night always ended in tears. This was all Beca's fault. We had cried enough over that alt-girl tonight. I was instantly pissed. I ground my teeth, trying to keep the anger in. It almost worked, but then Beca glanced over towards Chloe and me. I quickly poured myself a shot of liquid courage. I welcomed the burn in my throat as I strode over to the small brunette. Time somehow sped up because the next thing I knew, I had Beca pinned against the wall and I had no idea how I had managed that. I could feel the other Bellas' shocked silence behind me, but I didn't care.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I roared down at the smaller girl. "Why did you kiss that Treble, Jesse? How the fuck could you do that to Chloe? To me? What the fuck are you playing at?"
Beca had frozen under the fury radiating off me. She licked her lips, and stuttered, "I…um, I…"
Even through my booze fueled fury, I could see that she wouldn't be able to complete a sentence. My fury doubled. She didn't even have a good reason. I did the first thing that came to my mind and bent to claim her lips with my own. It was an angry kiss, full of all the rage, pain and longing I felt in that moment. If it was possible, Beca's body stiffened even more under the assault. I roughly shoved my tongue past her teeth and felt her shudder against me as she tasted me for the first time. With a moan, she relaxed and returned the kiss, stroking my tongue with her own. Her hands wrapped around my body, pulling me closer as her fingernails dug into the thin fabric of my tank top. Heat coiled in my belly, and I intensified my assault on her mouth. One of my hands tangled into her thick brown curls as the other wrapped around her waist pulling her even closer to my body. After an eternity, I sucked her bottom lip into my mouth and gently bit into the tender flesh. Beca gasped and her eyes flew open.
She tried to push me away. "Dude, no!" She exclaimed.
I refused to loosen my grip on her. I growled, "Yes. Unless you can tell me why you want Jesse more than you want me and Chloe."
Beca's eyes were as big as saucers as she stared into mine. "I—fuck!" She struggled in my grasp, but couldn't break away.
"Tell me."
"I can't."
"Do you want this?"
Beca licked her lips as she unwillingly looked down at my swollen lips. She met my gaze again and I should feel another shudder run through her body. Finally, she whispered, "Yes."
Triumph flashed through me as I fused my mouth to hers again. This time, the kiss was urgent and needy. I broke the kiss again and looked past the stunned faces of the other girls to meet Chloe's shocked gaze. She stood frozen in the kitchen staring at Beca and me. I lifted an eyebrow at her and broke the spell holding her still. She was across the room, pressing her chest into my side before anyone else could move. When she got closer, I could see the need in her eyes.
"Let's go." She said huskily. I nodded and we both grabbed one of Beca's arms and ushered her from the room. None of us gave a thought to the confused and shocked girls we left behind. I fished the key card from my pocket and opened the door.
Chloe had barely gotten into the room, when she pushed Beca up against the wall and claimed her mouth with a moan. Beca's answering moan was music to my ears. I quickly hung the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door and shut it, throwing the dead bolt. I crossed to the other girls and pulled Chloe's hair out of my way before leaning in to kiss and nibble her neck. I watched as Chloe's hands traveled Beca's body. When they reached the brunette's waist, they roughly pulled the shirt from her pants before racing up the buttons. Beca's hands were also busy, pushing the jacket off Chloe's shoulders and stroking their way up her stomach under her tank top. I pulled back enough to help Beca pull of Chloe's shirt and bra before pulling my own off. When the redhead and I were naked from the waist up, I leaned into her back, needing to feel the skin on skin contact against my rock hard nipples. I rested my chin on her shoulder as I watched Chloe's hands expose Beca's breasts. I felt my own heat and need building as I took in the beauty of her full breasts for the first time. Beca tentatively reached out a hand to run it down Cloe's cheek, along her neck and down to gently cup her breast. Chloe gasped and arched into the touch. I could no longer resist, I traced one hand up to massage her other breast, while the other hand found Beca's. I gently pinched her nipple before rolling it between my fingers. The brunette's eyes flew up to meet mine and I grinned as her breath grew short.
Giving both nipples one last gentle squeeze I let them go and quickly untied the scarf Cloe had knotted at her waist. I could feel Beca's eyes on my hands and they moved to unzip the redhead's pants. I pulled them off her in a fluid motion, revealing the purple lace still covering her hips. Chloe had just stood still watching Beca as she watched me. Beca's eyes travelled back up Chloe's body as I stood and moved over to reach the brunette. I teasingly unzipped her pants and pushed them off her as Chloe finally move; her hands at my own waist band. I stepped out of my own pants before kneeling to pull Beca's pants down. Chloe pulled Beca in for another kiss as I left my hands trail up the freshman's legs. When I reached her center, I left my hand slip between her thighs and brush against the already damp cotton before moving up her body. Beca had moaned into Chloe's mouth at the contact and I smiled. I pressed my mouth to her neck for a second before turning to whisper in Chloe's ear.
"She's already soaked for us."
Chloe shuddered against the smaller girl and moaned. Beca broke away from the kiss and looked at me, her mouth opening to say something. I cut her off with a heated kiss. I felt a tug on my shoulder and turned to look at Chloe. She had removed her underwear while Beca and I were distracted with each other. I felt my breath catch as I took her in. It didn't matter how many times I'd seen the gorgeous redhead naked, the sight always took my breath away. She grinned at us and pulled us to the bed. Beca looked dazed as she gazed on Chloe. I grinned at her and pushed her down to sit on the bed. Chloe immediately climbed on behind her and watched while I pulled off my own panties. I felt my core clench as Beca's eyes hungrily gazed at me. I stepped over to the bed and pushed her back so I could remove hers.
As soon as we were all naked, Chloe pulled Beca back farther onto the bed and started trailing kisses down her neck. I climbed onto the bed on Beca's other side. I lounged on my side, watching as Chloe feasted on the younger girl's chest. The sight was everything I had hoped for. I could feel myself growing almost painfully aroused at the sight, but I was determined to be patient. I reached out my hand and started tracing patterns down Beca's side. The brunette was squirming under our touch and her breath was coming out in little gasping moans. I leaned in and captured her lips again as I let my hand trail up her inner thigh. She moaned into my mouth and her legs fell open for me. It was all the permission I needed. I swiped two fingers through her dripping folds and held them up for the other girls to see.
"Chloe," I said to get her attention. She looked up and saw my coated fingers. The evidence of Beca's arousal made her moan against the nipple in her mouth. Beca groaned arching to press her breast more fully into Chloe's mouth. I waited until Beca's eyes found mine again before carefully licking the taste of her from my fingers.
Her eyes darkened with desire as she panted, "Bre."
I gasped at the raw need in her voice. I saw Chloe freeze and left her head to look at Beca. She then looked at me. I knew my own desire was obvious in my eyes. Chloe let out a short gasp before crashing her lips into mine, tasting Beca on my tongue. She was gone almost before the kiss started. I was shocked until I saw her shift to kneel between Beca's thighs. I could do nothing but watch as she lowered her mouth to Beca's center.
"Oh God! Right there." Beca's broken cry brought me back to myself. I looked up to see the brunette throw her head back in pure bliss. I surged forward and claimed her lips before trailing kisses down her chest to her breast. I flicked out my tongue to tease her erect nipple. I feasted on her perfect breasts as Chloe feasted on her core. I found my eyes locked on the redhead's eyes. Her gaze bore into me and I felt heat racing through my system. When Beca's hips started bucking against Chloe's mouth, I felt my own center clench and I bit down on the nipple in my mouth. With a last strangled cry, Beca shuddered through her release. As the last of the tremors faded, Chloe was on me in an instant. She closed her mouth on mine and I could taste Beca's arousal. I clenched again, moaning into Chloe's mouth.
I broke the kiss and whimpered, "Please, Chloe?" My own need overriding my pride in that moment.
Chloe pushed me onto my back and thrust two fingers into me. She moaned. "God, Bre, you've never been this wet before."
"I know," I panted, feeling my orgasm building quickly. Chloe picked up her pace and I let my head fall back as I ground down onto her fingers. Suddenly, Beca's mouth closed over my taut nipple and I screamed, immediately clenching down on Chloe's fingers and coming harder than I ever had before.
As I came back to myself, I heard Chloe moan and looked over to see Beca's head nestled between the redhead's thighs. My core clenched again at the sight. I reached over and ran my fingers through Beca's tender folds. She moaned into Chloe, causing us both to moan in return. Beca shifted to allow more room for my hand and I slipped two fingers into her. She was hot and eager for my touch. Feeling her open to me, I pushed a third digit into her and she began rolling her hips in time with my thrusts. I watched her suck Chloe's clit into her mouth as she pressed two fingers into the other girl. I gasped as heat raced through me and I thrust harder. Beca clamped down around my fingers, and I was suddenly coming as I hear Chloe call out and saw her shudder against Beca, even as the younger girl shuddered against me.
We all lay there without moving for a long time as we struggled to get our breath back, and convince our trembling bodies to move. Eventually, Chloe chuckled and shifted. She looked up at Beca and me, and said, "That was aca-amazing!"
I laughed, and Beca rolled her eyes. I was suddenly and exhausted and wanted nothing more than to snuggle up with my two girls and sleep. "Come here." I said, vaguely waving my heavy arms towards them. Chloe immediately crawled up so her head could rest on the pillow. She left room between us for the other girl and I smiled at her appreciatively. When Beca didn't move, I looked back at her.
She had sat up on the bed, and her eyes were nervously dancing around the room, looking at anything but us. "Um, I'll—um, I'll just go." She stammered.
My exhaustion forgotten I sat up. "What are you talking about?" I asked suddenly worried that the other girl was having regrets.
Beca glanced at me before looking away again. "Um, well you guys seem…I mean, I don't want to intrude."
Chloe rolled her eyes, "No, Becs. It's ok. Come here." She reached out a hand to the younger girl.
Beca looked at the hand, hope now evident in her eyes. But before she took the hand, her gaze travelled back to meet mine. "Are you sure?" She asked in a whisper.
"Beca Marie Mitchell, get your ass up here!" I said in my most authoritative voice.
She grinned in response and scrambled up the bed to lay between me and Chloe. I pulled her into my arms, kissing her cheek before I laid my head on her shoulder. I felt Chloe mirror me on Beca's other side and I smiled. I reached across Beca and stroked Chloe's side. She brushed my hair behind my ear and I felt myself relax.
"Good night." I said to both of them.
"Good night," They said in unison before giggling. I smiled and felt myself drift into sleep.
