"Please tell me that isn't true." Stacie said gasping.

"Stacie does it look like I'm fucking joking. I hate her, and I hope she falls off a cliff."

"Oh come on Beca. Kind of harsh isn't it?"

"Well seeing that she was eating her out and quite enjoying herself id say she deserves to fall off a cliff. So can you please help me get this knife out of my back, so I can go to the station."

Beca went and worked her shift and Stacie looked high and low for that backstabber Chloe. Her search was coming up unsuccessful until she spotted her heading for the campus café. Before Chloe could get there, she was forcefully planted face first into a wall and her arm being stretched behind her back,

"Talk Beale!"

"Stacie please let me explain!" Stacie pulled tighter on Chloe's arm putting her in more pain, "Then talk!"

"Inside! Please inside! You're hurting me!" Chloe protested in pain. Stacie jerked herself and shoved her into a booth not even noticing Beca waiting at the register listening.

…

"Hey Becky? Jesse isn't back yet and I'm starving." Luke said stopping Beca from stacking her cd's.

"Café again? The usual?" Beca answered.

"Yeah. And make sure they give extra ketchup this time."

Beca went to the Café and placed her order. Chicken strips for her and a cheeseburger for Luke. She waited patiently at the register and heard the front door slam open revealing Stacie shoving Chloe through the door and into the booth behind her.

"Alright Beale, talk." Stacie barked.

"I know it looks bad, but I really need to talk to Beca."

"Oh hell no you don't. You have done enough, and I want to know why you played her."

Chloe sighed, "Aubrey and I have been together on and off for the last couple of years and we just got back together. Beca came along and she told me she had a crush on Aubrey and I knew she would hurt my chances of getting back with Aubrey."

Stacie shook her in in disbelief, "So it's all about you? Then why did you encourage her to go to the damn party knowing she wanted to impress Aubrey?"

"I feel awful about it. I know she is obsessed with Bree and I knew Aubrey wouldn't invite her because well, she isn't 'cool'. So I made a fake invitation for her to make her feel good about herself."

"Wow. You're the biggest pile of shit I've ever seen. Why did you have her buy a gift then?"

"Idk Stacie! What was is supposed to say?"

"How about, 'Hey Beca listen. I'm fucking your girl so don't bother about blowing every dime you have on those Maroon 5 tickets'. Something like that would have done just fine."

Chloe sat quietly in shock, "She bought Maroon 5 tickets? They're Aubrey's favorite."

"Yeah so congrats. She's ruined and broke."

"I need to find her to apologize Stacie."

"Well its safe to assume your friendship is done so you're wasting your time."

"Please Stacie! I need to at least apologize."

"Well you'll have no help from me so good luck red." Stacie got up and marched out the door. Beca quietly slipped out the door pissed off even more and Aubrey slipped into the Café behind Beca to join her girlfriend for lunch.

Class on Monday sucked for Beca, it always did regardless. She didn't want to be here and was hoping her bitchy looking appeal would get her left alone. It was working on everyone except the quirky awkward blonde that sits beside Beca. Her name was Alexandria or 'Alex' for short.

"Hi Beca! How was your weekend?"

Beca shot daggers into the blonde and slouched further into her seat. The blonde really had no intention to stop bugging Beca, she never could shut up around her,

"I missed you in class Friday. Hope you were ok."

Beca sighed, "I went to Savannah to buy tickets to the Maroon 5 concert Saturday night. Oh shit! The tickets!" Beca slapped herself and pulled out her now useless tickets, ripping them to pieces.

"Why do you still have them?" The blonde inquired.

"I was planning on giving them to Aubrey Posen for her birthday in hopes we could go together. Shit happened, and I kept them."

Alex perked up at this information, "You were at Aubrey's party?"

"Yeah. I walked in on her and my best friend fucking."

"Oh. So I guess that's why you didn't go to the concert?"

Beca gave Alex an annoyed 'yes' look and turned her attention forward.

"Do you like Maroon 5? I mean you must if you wanted to go with Aubrey. I bet those tickets cost a lot." Alex was sweet, but she was painfully awkward but Beca couldn't help but like her.

"I heard Aubrey loved them, so I figured I'd give them a shot. I spent like every dime I had on them only to be wasted."

"Oh that's unfortunate." Alex added as class began.

Beca's week went on uneventful, she did her normal routine and did a great job of avoiding Chloe. Stacie never mentioned her meeting with Chloe and Beca could appreciate her for that. It was Friday again, and her favorite quirky blonde plopped down beside her once again.

"What has you in such a good mood Alex?"

"This," Alex pulled out an envelope and slapped it on Beca's desk. Beca curiously opened it revealing two tickets to the Marron 5 concert in Columbia, South Carolina that night,

"Where the fuck did you get them?"

Alex shrugged, "I know people. And after what you told me the other day about you spending all of your money on the tickets and not getting to go, I bought these."

"Holy shit dude! These are front row with backstage passes! How did you manage to snag these?"

Alex smiled, "Like I said, I know people." She sat patiently and tried to get Beca to ask her to join her, Beca giggled and took the hint, "Yeah, you're definitely coming with me. Besides, I need someone to drive me, I have no car."

"Oh my god yes!" Alex squealed. "I mean cool. I'll pick you up after class." Beca rolled her eyes at the attempted recovery.

Alex did as promised and met Beca after class, "Holy shit, nice car!" Beca said climbing into the sports car.

"Thanks, daddy got it for me."

"Of course he did princess." Beca laughed.

"Is it cool if we swing by my place and change? I got some new clothes I want us to wear tonight."

"Ok? Yeah that's cool."

Alex was just as awkward in the car as anywhere else. Never sure of what to do or say, but Beca went with it. It was going ok until Beca realized the street they were on. Aubrey lives on this street' She told herself and they were nearing the mansion of a home. Her heart exploded as they pulled into the driveway of Aubrey's house.

"Dude? Why are we at Aubrey's?"

"Beca, there is something I need to tell you."

Oh shit, she's gonna kill me, "Ok?"

"Aubrey is my older sister. I'm sorry I didn't say something earlier, but I can't believe you didn't know."

"How the hell was is supposed to know? I didn't know your last name or anything. Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's not easy being Aubrey Posen's little sister. I live in her shadow and I'm the weird anti-social sister she doesn't claim in public."

"I guess it can be hard trying to live up to her rep."

"Exactly, so I don't even try. If you don't wanna go to the concert I can take you back to your dorm."

"No its cool. Really. I appreciate the honesty and I would still like to go to the concert."

Alex smiled and tugged Beca inside to change. On their way downstairs, Alex's mother called them into the kitchen,

"What's up mom?"

Both girls stopped in the presence of Mrs. Posen chatting it up with Aubrey and a stunned Chloe. Aubrey snatched the tickets out of her little sister's hand and held them high above her head just out of reach.

"Going on a date with the little troll?" Aubrey laughed. Chloe took a seat and tried not to look at Beca who was clearly aggravated.

"Mom! Tell her to give me my tickets!"

"I think Chloe and I will be going to see Maroon 5 instead twerp."
