For Good: Chapter 1
Beca's at the airport waiting for her ride to the hotel. It has been hard coming back ever since Chloe broke up with her. It's been over a year and she still doesn't know why, Chloe never explained. Now that her brother is getting married to Fat Amy they invited her but even though she tried to decline they wanted her there. So that's why she's at the airport waiting for someone to pick her up.
"BECAW!" She smiles when she hears Jesse's call. She turns around and sees him with Aubrey in his car. "Sup Jesse, hey Aubrey." Jesse pops the trunk so Beca can place her little suitcase and laptop bag inside. "How have you been?" Aubrey asks when Beca gets in. "Still trying to figure out why she broke up but otherwise the same as always." Beca tries to sound casual but her voice still shakes a bit. "You?" Aubrey smiles. "We're ok, and I'm sorry we don't have any news either." Beca shrugs her shoulders. "Does she know I'll be here?" Aubrey and Jesse share a look. "She knows but her reaction to it wasn't fantastic." Jesse says carefully. "I figured as much, I won't be staying long for the party anyway so she won't have to see me." Beca leans against the window and watches the passing scenery. "Maybe this is your chance to talk to her?" Aubrey tries. "If she wanted to talk she would have done that a long time ago." The rest of the ride was quiet.
"Call me if you need anything." Beca smiles at Jesse. "Of course, I'll see you tonight anyway." Beca drives away in her car. It was still there waiting for her. Beca has to go to the hotel and check in. She take a quick shower and sets her alarm not to oversleep for the 'family' dinner tonight. She doesn't know why they invited her for it but she couldn't decline anymore. As much as she tries to fall asleep she can't seem to manage, so when the time rolls around she goes to the restaurant where she's meeting everyone.
The drive is short and it looks like Beca's the first to arrive. Ever since she has to be on time for every recording session and interview she can't be late. It's almost impossible for her. Beca sees James and Fat Amy sitting at the table with their parents and she approaches them. "I still can't believe you guys are getting married, it's seems only yesterday you guys met." Amy jumps up to hug her and the rest follows shortly after. "Beca it's been a while, how have you been?" James's his mother asks. "Hello Sylvia, I'm doing fine." She looks past my forced smile and gives me a look. "Maybe she'll talk to you this…" Sylvia stops talking and Beca follows her gaze and sees Chloe walk in. She stops dead in her tracks when she sees Beca. Beca can see that she wants to turn around and run but she stops herself just in time.
Chloe wants to walk towards the group but fear takes over, she hasn't spoken to Beca since that dreadful day. The sound of a phone ringing brings everyone out of their thoughts. "I'm sorry, I really need to takes this." Beca says while walking away to the back of the restaurant. A few minutes later she comes back and head straight towards James. "My guy just called me and said there's a problem with the equipment, I'm going to check on it and see if there's anything I can do. Don't worry, I'll get it all fixed." Beca flashes everyone a smile and avoids Chloe. Before anyone could react Beca had left the restaurant.
Chloe felt guilty and the looks from her family and friends wasn't helping at all. Throughout the dinner it seemed like they all took turns to be mad at her. They had all tried her to open up about the breakup but she stayed silent. Her parents were getting frustrated, they loved Beca as their own and really wanted everything to get sorted out.
"So Chloe, have you decided on where you're going next?" Fat Amy tries to include Chloe in some kind of conversation. "Still thinking between staying or going to L.A." Many people at the table start telling her that she has to go to L.A. because it's has better education in the hospitals. Chloe just nods to it all but inside the only reason why she doesn't want to go is because Beca will be there.
After dinner everyone goes to their respective homes. Chloe goes to the apartment she's still sharing with Jesse and Aubrey. "You need to talk to her." Aubrey breaks the silence when they enter. "If you won't talk to us at least give her an explanation." Chloe shakes her head but before she can say anything Aubrey starts talking again. "No Chloe, you don't see how much she has been suffering. She hasn't slept more than 2-3 hours every night since you broke up with her. And no it's not because of stress. She has been here every free moment she had hoping that you will talk to her. If you don't talk to her you will regret it when she does give up, she loves you so much. Why do you make it so difficult."
Chloe's mind goes back to the day she broke up with Beca…
*Flashback*
Chloe is at her parent's house sitting on the floor of her room. Her parents had tried to talk to her but she just ignored them. She's staring at the envelope in front of her and the phone in her hand. After finally having stopped crying she takes up the courage to call Beca. It doesn't take long for her to pick up.
*Phone Call*
Beca: "Hey babe, how are you? Can't wait to see you in a few day."
Chloe: "I can't do this anymore Beca, I don't want to see you and please don't call me again."
Beca: "What are you talking about? Chloe? Please say something?"
Chloe: "We're done… bye"
*End Phone Call*
Chloe breaks down again and she falls asleep crying her eyes out. She couldn't believe Beca would do that to her, she trusted her.
Around noon the next day Chloe wakes up hearing voices outside her room. She would recognize that voice anywhere. Beca is here, she's in front of my room! "I don't know why she would do that, she was upset and went up to her room. She didn't come out yet." Her mother's voice seems very worried. "I've tried calling her but she won't answer. I'm not leaving until I can talk to her, I'm not giving up on her." Chloe gets up from the floor and puts the envelope in a drawer, not wanting to see it anymore. "Chloe? Babe? Please let me in, we need to talk about this." Beca's voice sounds tired but Chloe stays silent. "I'm staying outside of your door until you talk to me, I'll even learn morse code if I have too." A small smile creeps up on her face but it disappears just as quick. She couldn't face her, not now.
Beca had been camping outside Chloe's door for almost two week until she really had to leave to get back to work. And every other free moment she had, even if it was just a weekend she would come and try again but each time Chloe ignored her. Chloe hasn't seen Beca for over a year until the dinner.
*End Flashback*
Chloe is crying from the memory and feels stupid. Beca had tried so hard to talk to her but she plainly ignored her each time. Maybe she should talk to Beca to give them both some closure. "I'll talk to her if I find a right moment." With that she turns around and goes to her bedroom, the room she used to share with Beca once upon a time.
"Thanks for calling me Tommy, what's the problem?" Beca runs into the venue and spots Tommy. Tommy is the DJ they hired to play at the wedding. "My laptop is flipping out Beca, I have no idea what to do." Beca can hear that he's panicking. "Relax, let me see what the problem is." She checks some things, pushes some buttons and reboots the laptop. "When was the last time you updated this thing?" The look on his face is priceless. "Too long I guess." Tommy says with a chuckle. "Alright, everything will be fine. Let it update and if you have other problems give me a call." Beca smiles at the man. "I'll see you tomorrow at the wedding." Beca says and waves the other DJ goodbye. "Thanks and see you tomorrow."
Beca steps outside and decides to take a walk in the forest next to the venue. She finds a secluded spot to sit down and think. She should be happy to be here, she's with people that care about her and vice versa. But that doesn't matter if Chloe isn't one of those people. All Beca ever wanted was to be with Chloe, buy a house and start a family. But at this point it seems like that will never happen.
After sitting on a log for an hour Beca goes to the hotel and goes to bed. The faster this is over the faster she can go back to her life. She's done fighting, Chloe doesn't want her and she'll respect that. She would tell the rest tomorrow and say her goodbye's. She'll get scolded by some but that's a risk she's willing to take at this moment. Her love for Chloe goes above all, and if Chloe doesn't need her in her life then after the wedding that's what she'll get. a life without Beca.
The next morning Beca goes to Chloe's parent's house. Sylvia opens the door and leads Beca inside. "Chloe is not here dear, she's at the apartment." Beca smiles. "I know, that's not really why I'm here." Chloe's dad enters the living room and sits besides his wife. "Then why are you here? Not to sound rude but every visit for the past year has been you camping outside Chloe's door." Henry says with slight mockery evident in his voice. "Yes, that true. I have been thinking about that actually." Beca takes a breath before continuing. "For over a year I've tried to get her to talk, and so did everyone else. We're all not getting anywhere with it and honestly I'm tired of it." Sylvia lets out a small gasp. "What … what are you saying?" Beca can see the tears forming in the older woman's eyes. "After the wedding I'll be leaving and I will not be coming back. I love Chloe, I really do. That's why I'm going to step away and let her be happy. She doesn't need/want me so I'll give her her space."
Sylvia doesn't take the news very well but Beca had expected that. "Sylvia, I promise I'll come and visit you but I just can't fight anymore." Beca gives her a hug and gets up to leave. "I'll be seeing you at the wedding tomorrow and you'll come and visit in L.A." Sylvia wipes away her tears and nods. "Yes, we'll keep in touch no matter what." Beca leaves and goes to the next couple she has to talk to.
"Hey Beca, come on in." Aubrey is her cheerful self and almost pulls Beca inside. "Jesse! Come to the living room." Jesse emerges from the bedroom and joins the two women. "Hey, I actually came to talk to you guys. Is Chloe here?" Jesse shakes his head. "No, she left half an hour ago. She had some paperwork to do." Beca nods. "That's great because it's about her." Aubrey and Jesse give each other a confused look. "I'm giving up. She clearly doesn't want to talk and I think a year is enough trying, after the wedding I'm leaving by car and my visits here will be very limited." Jesse throws his head back and Aubrey just nods. "We understand, but promise us one thing though." Aubrey says quietly. "Sure, anything you want." Beca tries to smile but for her it's very hard at the moment. "Promise us that if you get a chance to talk to her tomorrow you'll try one last time." Beca sighs. "I'll try but I'm not sure it will happen though." Aubrey smiles. "You never know what tomorrow may bring."
