For someone who had to put up with Alice and Aubrey when she got controlling senior year, Chloe was very good at handling stress. She definitely had experience in awkward situations, when you live with Fat Amy you have a lot of them. It was always easy to brush off what happened though. Normally Chloe would just try to find something good that came of it and if that didn't work she would just laugh about it and try to change the subject, but this, this was something she would never be able to forget and she was pretty damn sure she couldn't live it down either.
"Chloe calm down." Jessica said. Chloe stopped dead in her tracks and turned to face the blonde
"Calm down? Calm down?! Fat Amy just flashed the world and you're telling me to calm down?!" she asked. Aubrey throwing up at nationals was bad, Brett leaving was bad, but this was horrible! Chloe didn't know how they would even begin to recover from this one.
"Oh come on Chloe it's not like they didn't want to see all of this." Fat Amy said running a hand down her body
"Amy you know I love you but right now I really just need you to shut up!" the ginger yelled
"Okay I understand how bad this was but it's not the end of the world." Ashley tried to reason but Chloe was having none of it. She was making her way to the girl when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her
"Let me go dammit!" she tried to wriggle free but the arms weren't moving
"Chloe you need to stop trying to kill them before I let go." A voice spoke up from behind her. The look of anger on Chloe's face was immediately replaced with one of joy as she turned around
"Brett!" she turned in his arms, hugging him tightly "What are you doing here?!" she let go of him and the rest of the Bellas walked up to him, giving him a hug. She would be lying if she said she didn't still have feelings for the boy. It wasn't like they never talked to each other, he stayed true to his promise of keeping in contact with everyone and every year he would send a flash drive with enough arrangements to get them through the year with a few extra just in case there was one they didn't have the time to learn.
"Well last week I heard you were performing for the president-" he started
"So we decided to come out here to support you guys." Stacie finished for him as she walked in
"Stacie! Oh my God we've missed you guys so much!" Chloe squealed before introducing the two to Flo. She came in the year after they left. After talking to the Bellas for a while Chloe pulled Brett away from everyone
"Thanks for everything you've done for us." Brett gave her a confused look "What did I do for you guys?" he asked even though he knew what she was talking about "Oh don't act like you don't know. You've been sending us the arrangements that made us three time champs. We wouldn't have been able to perform here if it wasn't for you." Chloe's smile faltered at her own words "I'm sorry you had to watch us mess everything up. I never should have choreographed that the way I did."
"Chloe don't worry about it. Performers fuck up it's a part of the job." He reassured her
"I know but you saw what happened. How do I bring the Bellas back from that?" she had no clue how to get past this one.
"The best thing you can do is move on. The longer you dwell on it, the more people will talk about it." He tried his best to comfort her but it wasn't working
"Well yeah, but I can't do that. You and Stacie came here all the way from California just to get flashed by Amy." Brett laughed
"Okay two things. One, that's not the only thing that happened and you guys sounded great before that happened so don't beat yourself up over it. Two, we didn't come here from California." He gave her a small smile
"Wait what? I thought you guys had a contra-"
"We did, but when they wanted to re-sign us for longer we all said no because we got a better offer in another state." Chloe gave him a confused look. "Where did you guys come from?" she didn't know why they would want to leave California, especially after all of the work they put into it.
"New York." Chloe nodded in understanding. New York had some really good record labels "We had an interview."
"Did you sign with someone in New York?" Brett shook his head no. Chloe's face twisted in confusion "Well who did you sign with?"
"Residual Heat."
"Where is that?" Brett laughed at her obliviousness
"It's in atfgdnkg" he muttered the last part. Chloe shook her head in confusion.
"Where?" Brett chuckled
"It's in Atlanta okay?" The redhead's eyes lit up at his words but she remained calm for now "Please tell me this isn't a joke and you're actually coming back?" she pleaded, making Brett smile "We're living in Atlanta again. We've actually been there for about three weeks." At that Chloe squealed before throwing herself at him, getting everyone's attention. Stacie quirked an eyebrow at the two
"You told her?" Brett nodded
"Yeah."
"Told her what?" Cynthia Rose asked
"Brett's band signed with a studio in Atlanta!" Chloe squealed before turning back to Brett "Are you guys coming back to Barden? I mean I know you'll only be sophomores but-" she started to ask when Brett cut her off "No we wouldn't, we would be seniors. We actually went to college in California. The scheduling was weird because of tours and stuff but we managed to make it work and yes we are going to Barden for our senior year. We had to do some convincing but the admissions committee eventually said yes."
"And by we did some convincing he means he flirted with the head of the admissions committee until she let us back in." Stacie added earning a laugh from the Bellas
"Hey! It's not my fault that she was a fan of us!" he defended "Actually it kinda is considering you write all of our songs." Stacie countered "And that wasn't the only reason it worked. You do this incredibly adorable thing with your eyes that can make anyone melt. Where the hell did you learn that?" Brett smirked at the question, knowing exactly who taught him how to do that "Bella. She used to do it when she wanted to be held." He fell victim to his daughter's eyes more than once. The bad thing was when she does it she's not even trying to be cute, it just happens.
"Where is the little munchkin?" Fat Amy asked wondering why the now three year old wasn't with her father
"She's with Benji. He wanted to show her a magic trick so they stayed at his apartment." He answered before turning to Chloe "So do we have to audition again or…" he trailed off and Chloe laughed at the question
"Of course not! Welcome back to the Bellas!" Chloe was over the moon right now. Not only did she get to see Brett and Stacie today, she found out they were coming back to Barden and rejoining the Bellas! She was so excited she completely forgot about the wardrobe malfunction Amy just had.
Well she forgot about it for now anyways
So what did you think? I am SO SORRY this took so long. The other chapters shouldn't take that long I just had no idea how to start this but I know how the rest of this is going to go.
