Turn my dreams into reality?

Chapter 1

Chloe was laying on her couch in her bright apartment playing on her phone and texting her friends about their girls night out. She scrolled through her messages feeling the familiar urge to text her... She past her name and saw her photo, the same photo she had had for months. Her cheeky smile and deep blue eyes still made Chloe's stomach twist, she hated herself for that. Chloe wanted to forget about her, she was done with texting her and nothing getting a response or calling and going straight to voicemail. Despite her attempts to forget about her, Chloe still tensed up when her phone rang, hoping she'd call.

With a sigh she stopped herself before she'd do something she'd regret later and dialed her best friend's number and waited for her to pick up impatiently. She heard a short knock on her door and sighed as she got up. By the time she got to the door Aubrey finally answered her phone.

"Hey!"

"Hey, where are you?" Chloe tugged her phone between her ear and her shoulder as she opened the door.

"I'm right here" Aubrey chuckled ending the call. Chloe squealed and dropped her phone as she pulled Aubrey into a bone crushing hug.

She hadn't seen Aubrey in weeks since the blonde had been busy with her company and Chloe herself had been quite busy getting used to her job as a music teacher. After graduation she had found an apartment close to the school she was going to work at and not that far away from LA and now she had been a teacher for nearly six months. She loved combining her love for music with her passion for teaching.

"So how have you been?" She pulled Aubrey inside and took her coat as they moved to her big living room.

"Good, busy," Aubrey smiled as they sat down on the couch, "and you? Still love the kids?" She grinned.

"I am fine thank you and yes I still love teaching," Chloe laughed shoving her friend playfully.

In the first weeks of teaching she had called Aubrey multiple times almost having a break down because she thought she wouldn't be good enough to teach. She had been so nervous about teaching, scared that she'd let down the kids or that she'd fail. It had taken Aubrey more than a few attempts till she finally convinced Chloe that everything was going to be okay. And she had been right, of course, the kids loved Chloe and she loved teaching.

"But let's not talk about work! Tonight's girls night, time to talk about boys and stuff," she beamed bouncing in her chair excitedly. Aubrey raised an eyebrow eyeing her overexcited friend.

"So boys now huh? What happened to your-" She had an amused look on her face when Chloe quickly interrupted her.

"No, we are not going to talk about that either!" Chloe ordered holding up her hand to shush her friend.

"Chloe..." Aubrey sighed giving her a sympathetic look.

"Don't give me that look, it's fine. I know nothing will happen between us, ever, she moved to LA and probably doesn't even remember me... I gave up on even trying to reach out to her and she hasn't tried to contact me in any way, so it's fine," Chloe's voice went from being bubbly to sounding down as she thought about the brunette. Aubrey rolled her eyes and placed her hand on Chloe's gently.

"I'm sure Beca still remembers you! And LA is like 15 or 30 ish minutes away from here, depends on where she decided to live. I mean you're totally right for not messaging her, she's been acting like a moron the past few months, but Beca would never forget about you."

The mentioning of her name made Chloe's heart ache and her stomach churn. She hadn't seen or spoken to the girl since graduation. Of course they had promised each other to keep in touch but of course they hadn't, in fact it was Beca who had shut Chloe out of her life out of the blue...

It had broken Chloe's heart to lose contact with the deejay like that. She had secretly fallen in love with her the moment she had laid eyes on her during her Bellas audition. The two had become best friends and Chloe had helped Beca with running the Bellas after Aubrey had graduated. Beca had been there for her when Chloe failed her Russian literature, which obviously wasn't on purpose unlike she told everyone. Not talking to Beca anymore had hurt terribly and it took everything she had to not text Beca again after the long letter she had sent her a few weeks ago.

In the letter she had asked Beca for an explanation, for answers. She had told Beca how badly she was hurting and how much she missed having the brunette in her life. But Chloe knew that if Beca wouldn't answer the letter it would be her last try to contact her again. Every day Chloe had anxiously gone through her post hoping to find a letter from Beca, but she never did. Now her sadness had turned into anger. She started to hate Beca for letting her fall like this...

Chloe shook her head trying to get rid of the thoughts that started running through her mind and smiled weakly.

"So how's Skylar?" She asked referring to Aubrey's boyfriend of seven months now. All their friends had been surprised when Aubrey told them she was seeing someone, Aubrey just wasn't into those things at Barden but now they were living together and Aubrey was happier than ever.

"You know she broke up with Jesse, right? I read it in some magazine," Aubrey stated ignoring Chloe's attempt to change the subject. Chloe just nodded. Beca's break through got her into the spotlights. Chloe had read some articles about Beca, since the brunette had had a huge break through after graduation, and a few weeks ago she read about her break up with Jesse. Of course she felt bad for him since Beca was rumored to have broken up with him but she also kind of relieved.

As long as she had known Beca it had been torture to see her with Jesse the way she couldn't be with the brunette. Seeing Jesse being able to kiss her, to hold her hand and cuddle with her in public made her feel jealous, they cuddled when Chloe forced Beca to watch a movie with her and they even held hand sometimes when they were out together and Chloe's hands got cold. But Chloe knew it would always be in a platonic way, especially if Beca was still with Jesse. Beca and Chloe did become very close in the few years they spent together. Chloe got to know Beca as she let down her walls and Beca saw right through Chloe's fake smiles.

"It didn't surprise me, Jesse was nice and all but he wasn't what she deserves," Chloe muttered fiddling with the bracelets around her wrist.

"What does she deserve? You?" Aubrey asked quirking a brow. Chloe glared at her friend and shrugged.

"Alright stop pouting, tonight's gonna be fun! Stacie and Jessica should be here any minute and then we can go! Just a night out with the girls, no boys, I mean love interests in any way, and a good time! And maybe so alcohol..." Aubrey cheered with a wink and Chloe perked up.

Aubrey was right she shouldn't be moping about this anymore, she had to move on and tonight was the perfect opportunity to start doing just that!

"You're right! Let's get this party started!" Chloe exclaimed dancing in her chair making the blonde laugh. The two began to prepare some drinks as they waited for their other friends to arrive. When Stacie and Jessica arrived they had some more drinks and then called a cab to take them to the club they were planning to visit.
