I do not own Pitch Perfect

Chloe watched as her Aubrey and Stacie playfully argued with each other about who made Jesse's date run and hide.

"Who are we talking about here again?" she asked and Jesse was quick to answer.

"Her name's Ellie Spencer. The renting the mansion thing is actually her wedding gift for the bride and groom." Jesse explained.

"I think I might have heard of her." Chloe stammered as her thought quickly jumped between Beca and why she would be acting weird if it was Jesse's friend causing her great distress.

"Might have? Chloe! Were you living under a rock?" Aubrey asked her indignant. Ellie Spencer was currently the biggest name in music with her ties to both the movie industry and her musical genius. They were already calling her a modern day Mozart during Chloe's second senior year at Barden.

"I didn't know you were a fan Bree." she commented.

"Fan may be an understatement." Stacie then said butting in. "I'm pretty sure she almost jumped her when Jesse introduced her to us."

"Sure it wasn't you?" Aubrey retorted.

"We can always just blame it on the Legacy chatting her up endlessly." Cynthia Rose commented which prompted an indignant "Hey!" from Emily.

"Hey, where'd the short stack go?" Amy asked, finally noting that Beca had disappeared.

Chloe whacked Jesse's arm in response and the treble looked at her surprised. "Are you sure you didn't do anything to upset her? She told me you called a week ago and she's been acting like this ever since."

"Wait, really?" Jesse asked, he wasn't sure what to do, and Chloe could tell the sincerity in his voice.

"I should go look for her." Chloe said. She was out the door of the family room within minutes with Jesse close behind.

She looked back at him, a question forming in her eyes. "You really care about Beca, don't you?" she heard Jesse ask.

Chloe tried to answer but before she could Jesse shook his head and said "Please tell me you've told her."

She looked back at him with a confused expression and Jesse sighed before taking off on his own, something about checking Ellie's room again. She could feel her heart racing when he asked her, like every single atom in her body already knew the answer, the unescapable truth that Jesse was referring to, and her mind was still trying to catch up. Or maybe it already did, she just didn't want to acknowledge it.

Chloe didn't want to admit, but she was terrified of that particular truth. Beca barely even tried, but the tiny DJ meant the world to her. Yes, she was afraid, that if she acknowledged what she felt she'll lose her forever. She was afraid that she was already losing now.

Somewhere along the lines of losing herself in the depths of her thoughts Chloe got lost in the mansion.

Unsure of what to do next, look for Beca or literally call someone to find her, or maybe call Beca to come find her so she'd kill two birds with one stone, she stood in her place to think for a few minutes.

That's when she heard it. It was an incredibly soft voice, it carried with every note that its owner sang emotions that were deeply resonating. Chloe followed where the sound of the rather angelic voice, and the accompanying piano arrangement, was coming from until she saw a slightly ajar sliding door an unused room, the furniture covered with cloth and dust, all except for the black grand piano to the side of the room.

There was something so… intimate with that moment. A girl in a black shirt was playing and singing one of her favorite songs, she was singing Titanium, and was clearly lost in the movement.

Her dark brown hair was swept to one side, and she wasn't wearing any make up. Chloe noted what Aubrey called "ear monstrosities" and Chloe was barely able to hold back a chuckle when she pieced the puzzle together and figured out that this was Ellie Spencer.

Ellie stopped playing when she felt Chloe's presence. "Wow, you can sing." she noted, a wave of nostalgia hitting her. The whole scene felt familiar, and inviting, but instead of a scared and surprised tiny brunette she saw a warm smile greeting her back.

"You're from the acapella girl group too right?" she asked and Chloe nodded.

"How'd you know?" she asked, entering the dimly lit room and closing the door behind her.

"I saw you at the Worlds." she said before she became all flustered. "Don't tell anyone." she quickly stammered out.

"Why not?" Chloe teased.

"Well, acapella really isn't my thing. I guess you can say I'm just a Bellas fan. I saw you at Lincoln Center when you won Nationals the first time around and followed your performances since then." Ellie explained. "The names Ellie by the way."

"Chloe." she said, introducing herself. "Care to finish the song?" Chloe asked.

"How about I play you something else." Ellie replied. Chloe shot her a pout that usually worked on Beca, she doesn't know why but the girl before her reminded her of her best friend a lot. It was they were like the same person, they just have different approaches to being that person.

Ellie shook her head. "That doesn't work on me." she said with a smile. "Besides, I don't think 'Titanium' fits well as the song we can share together."

"How come?" the redhead asked intrigued by the comment Ellie made.

"I can tell you share that song with someone else already, call it a hunch, and I'm good with hunches. So how about a different song that can make you think of me when you hear it?"

Chloe blushed. Is she flirting with me, she thought to herself. The fact that the rather enigmatic young girl had already rendered her speechless in a matter of minutes took her of guard.

"There you are!" Jesse exclaimed as he opened the door. "Hey Chloe, I thought you were looking for Beca?"

Chloe nearly jumped out of her own skin as soon as Jesse waltzed in.

"I think she's in your room. I bumped into Benji earlier and he was looking for Emily in her room. We exchanged information on the whereabouts of the girls." he said with a shrug and Chloe nodded, processing the information.

"Your room is on the second floor Chlo. Take the stairs at the end of the hallway then take a right." Jesse added knowingly.

"Um, right. Thanks Jesse." she said. "See you later." she added towards Ellie.

"No." Jesse said adamantly as he looked at Ellie with disapproving eyes as soon as Chloe left.

"What?" she asked innocently.

"She's off limits." he edified. "She's for someone else." he added and Ellie quirked her brows in confusion.

"Explain."

"Remember the girl I told you about?" Jesse started and Ellie rolled her eyes. How could she forget? Hearing about how Jesse had played the part of the charming boy next door type character from his favorite movies. She wasn't really into movies so she couldn't really care, but that fact that he dated her sister was a little too amusing for her. The girl who built walls around her, who never let anyone in, let the guy in front of her now breach her walls along with her new found friends.

"Anyways, she's for her. She's for Beca. And Beca is for her too. Chloe's afraid to step up I think, and Beca's just as clueless as ever." he said and Ellie sniggered.

"You're telling me the redhead has a thing for Beca Mitchell?" Ellie asked and Jesse nodded. Thinking about it, during the Bella's performances on stage Ellie always noticed how the redhead looked at her sister, and how Beca kept stealing glances off Chloe too. "And you're telling me Beca has a thing for her too?"

"As much as I hate to admit it, I think she always had. I thought I was the male lead, you know, the love interest, but I think I understand now that I'm just the best friend character." Jesse said truthfully, no hint of bitterness or whatever which made Ellie smile.

She shook her head. "No you are not Jesse. You and me, we'll be the director and producer." Ellie said which caught Jesse off guard.

"I don't understand." Jesse murmured as he followed Ellie who was already making her way out of the room. "You'll help me set them up?"

"No." Ellie answered. "You'll help me ensure Beca gets her happy ending. You and the Bellas."

"Sadly, the Bellas have a pact to not help them out. They tried to lock them in a closet once for hours to get their act together only to be punished with endless cardio. Besides, they have an ongoing bet about the two and they promised not to take matters into their own hands again. Something about how that would be cheating… Wait. Why are you interested with this?"

Ellie stopped on her tracks to turn around and face Jesse. During the time they've known each other, Ellie already considered him to be her best friend, and yet, throughout his stories about college and Beca, and everything movie and acapella related, she still hasn't told him that who he was talking about was her sister.

She hummed as she tried to form a response and sighed. "Well, there's no use hiding it as the truth would come out anyways. I always sensed Beca was bi all along too…"

"Ellie! No tangents! How do you know Beca?" Jesse remarked only to be met with a huge smug grin.

"Beca Mitchell. Do you know her mother's name?" she asked Jesse who looked at her with confused eyes.

"No." he said, his voice sounding so small.

"Before it became Elizabeth Mitchell and then Elizabeth Masters, it was Elizabeth Spencer." Ellie clarified.

"Oh." Jesse said casually, nodding his head along like the information meant nothing. Ellie watched him, the grin on her face growing bigger by the minute as it finally sank in for Jesse. He stopped bobbing his head up and down and froze, his eyes wide with shock. "You don't mean… No… Seriously!?"

Ellie laughed. "Yeah, seriously." Ellie turned around and started walking away again before Jesse called out to her, running to catch up.

"Where on earth are you heading now? Are you going to see Beca?"

"That can wait." Ellie replied truthfully. "But we have to get a move on if we want absolute movie magic to happen."

"So where are we going?" Jesse asked again.

"Tell me, are all the Bellas in on the bet? How about the Trebles?"

"No, the Treble actually have their own bet going since Beca and I broke up. As for the Bellas, only Emily didn't join in on the bet, mostly because she already thought they were dating in the first place. Oh, and Aubrey, because she profusely refused to make money off of her friends. That and she admitted how tempted she was to just get the two locked in a room for them to sort out whatever was going on between them, and she was avoiding for that to backfire on her as well."

"Good." was all that Ellie gave as a reply.
