Chapter 1

Beca became extremely successful as a singer after the USO competition. She got a lot of endorsements and some cameos every now and then. She's on her way to super-stardom. She loves it. She loves proving it to herself that she could it. She doesn't like the fame though, but she appreciates the perks of being respected by a lot of people.

Even though she gets this much attention, she always spends most of her down time with the Bellas. They appreciate how she never forget them and nothing has change despite her rise in Hollywood. She took it by storm.

She'll be busy for the next couple of months because she's having her acting debut. She never imagined being an actress but she thought why turn down an opportunity like this? It was given to her and she didn't have to audition. It was based off of her. And she's starring alongside Blake Lively. Who wouldn't want that?

She's doing more work than she ever did. She went to acting classes and had to do a lot of readings with her co-stars. She was praised by them. They've admired her work ethic and dedication. She was Beca Mitchell, she never did anything half-hearted.

She's been flying back from LA to New York depending on the project she needed to do. She was grateful she still spent most of her time in New York working on music and spending time with the Bellas. Unfortunately, they weren't living together anymore because they could afford to live separately and Beca lived at one of the best places in Manhattan, a few blocks away from Amy.

Chloe stayed at their apartment because it was nearer to vet school and she was mostly out of the house to review or stay at Beca's. Who wouldn't love to study in Beca's huge apartment. It's like all the Bellas could live in it.

Beca was at the office meeting with her manager about the movie's she taking part of.

"I just wanted to meet you to run through your schedule. You're finishing filming this week, so I want to congratulate you on that. You'll be doing press next month so I suggest you get a lot of rest after working like that on your film debut. Is there anything you need me to do? Or do you have any concerns?" Her manager, Silver, asked.

"Silver, you sound like a high school teacher right now. I don't have any concerns. Thank you for everything. I'm extremely nervous though. I never imagined myself as an actress. Don't get me wrong, I love it. I hope my fans are ready though." Beca smiled warmly. She loved working with her manager who made sure she was always at the top of her game and never took anything granted being Beca's manager.

"This is a big deal. I just couldn't believe you're reaching superstardom already. From being a singer to an actress. You make flying from New York to LA simple without any complaints. That's why you're this big. You're humble."

Beca smiled at Silver's words. She understands why her manager says that. She's still handling other artists and actresses and she rants to Beca how they're all pain in the asses, rejecting all her advices. Beca on the other hand, takes each advice seriously and makes sure she learns from Silver.

"Such kind words from someone in the industry longer than I am. Thank you for everything that you do. I think you should take the week off. I'll fly to LA alone or maybe take Naomi with me. Relax, I got this. Just message me whenever you need me." Beca wanted to repay Silver with all her hard work. She planned on taking Naomi, her assistant with her, just in case she needed something apart from acting like interviews to be scheduled.

Her phone lit up and saw a text message from the Chloe Beale.

"Any plans tonight, Ms. Mitchell? I plan on cooking dinner at your place."

"Of course I do. Dinner with you. Why do you even ask, Beale? I'll pick you up.

This girl does wonders to her. She instantly became more excited about going home, now that her best friend is coming over. This was how she usually spends her Fridays. She'd meet Chloe somewhere to have dinner, no matter what. Even if she just got home from LA, Chloe's apartment will be her first stop. It became a usual.

Amy was busy running her clothing line so she joins whenever she can. The other Bellas are present most times as well, tonight was the first time she spends time with Chloe alone on a Friday.

They got back at Beca's house around 6 pm and Chloe was ecstatic. She haven't spent time with anybody for the week because it's her finals week. Beca knew something was up when she picked up her best friend. Chloe wasn't her typical sunshine self. At least now the redhead looks back on track.

"Why are we here again? We can just go out and eat like always." Beca asked her.

"I was really hungry when I got home from school and I didn't have any food because finals week was intense. I'm so close to having an Aubrey vomit breakdown."

Beca laughed as she remembers Aubrey's viral video.

"You could have told me so we could go grocery shopping together."

"Are you forgetting you're Beca Mitchell? You get noticed everywhere. It would be hard to go out with you anywhere. But I don't mind. It's just your grumpy butt that I'm worried about." Chloe smiled at her with that "Beale Smile". Her blue eyes literally sparkle. Her smile is so carefree and genuine.

"That's true. Anyway, if you're ever hungry from school, come by to the office and we could always go out. Now, please feed me pasta." Beca with her puppy dog eyes is Chloe's biggest weakness.

"On it, Becs. Go ahead and relax. I'll call you when I'm done."

Beca missed this. She missed going home and eating dinner with Chloe after a long day at work. She missed her company as she got used to it for literally living with her for the past six years. This was a big step for her and she'll lose her sanity without Chloe and the other Bellas.

It wasn't long when Chloe shouted, "Dinner's ready, Beca."

They sat at Beca's HUGE dining table. It's funny because it's for 12 people and it was mostly

occupied by her, Chloe, and Amy only. Amy still comes over to Beca's place when she wants to feel like a "simple" person.

"I've been wanting this pasta since I went out to this "famous" pasta place in LA with Blake Lively. I'm telling you. It's not half as good as this." Beca's been sharing a lot about Blake to Chloe and the other girl is taking it really well. She's happy Beca's not closing doors on anyone unlike their Barden days. She had to force herself to Beca just to know more about her, which Beca surprisingly liked. She liked the idea of Chloe not giving up on her. NO ONE stayed by her side which is why she loves Chloe this much.

"Have you ever considered staying there? Now that you're debuting as an actress I highly doubt you'll stop doing it. You're always up for a challenge." Chloe said with all seriousness.

"I've been thinking about it but I don't think I could ever give up music. You of all people know that. I'd take it one step at a time. If this movie is successful, I might consider doing another one. But I don't want to think about it too much. It's just a start."

"So what's next? What are you up to this coming week?" Chloe smiles.

"We have to re-shoot some scenes this week and that's it. Press tour would be next month. I think it would last a month and a half most. Let's do something next week."

"Anytime, Beca." They looked at each other for a several seconds as they continued with dinner.

The night went fast and Beca was dropping Chloe back at their apartment smiling to herself. She missed spending time with her alone. It takes her back to ALL their previous memories. They should make more though. New memories that Beca only keeps to herself because she doesn't have the strength to tell Chloe the truth.
