Just my shot at a story based on the song "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" as sung by Laura Branigan (around 1995 or so).

The four girls stopped and stood in front of Beca. Beca looked from one to the other and finally said, "Can I help you ladies with something?"

The girls all stood looking at each other waiting for someone to start. Each looked at the floor, then at Beca, and back at each other again.

"Oooo-Kay," said Beca. "When you get yourselves together come find me, otherwise I need to get to the station."

She started gathering her stuff to leave when Chloe suddenly said, "We all heard you singing when we got here."

Beca just looked at them. "And?," she asked.

Chloe looked at her dumbfounded. "And we saw what happened before you stormed out of here."

"What do you want me to say?," asked Beca. "I was upset and I broke my laptop. No big deal."

"Bullshit!," said CR. "You breaking your laptop is a very big deal. We all know how you protect that thing with your life. Hell, Amy still has the bruises on her hands where you slapped her when she just reached for it."

"Not that I need to explain myself to any of you," Beca said, "but I was singing a song that my mom really liked and it made me sad and angry so I lashed out. My laptop got the brunt of it. End of story. Nothing more to see or say here."

She grabbed her laptop and her bag and started for the exit. No one knew what to say or do so they just let her walk away.

The girls looked at each other. "I've said it before but this is not good. She's too calm about this," CR said.

"I don't have a good feeling about this either," said Stacie.

Chloe's phone pinged with a text message. She pulled out her phone and looked at it. "I have to go. I'm supposed to meet Tom."

"Are you shitting me right now?," Stacie exclaimed. "You're just going to leave?"

"What do you expect me to do?," Chloe asked.

"Oh, I don't know. Stick around and help us figure out what's going on with the girl you're in love with, who also happens to be the girl that loves you, too," Stacie said.

"Stop saying that. Beca does not love me! If she did she would have told me," Chloe said with frustration.

"Have you told her you're in love with her?," CR asked.

"No, but that's different," Chloe said softly.

"How? How is it different?," CR asked.

"I haven't told her because I don't want to lose what we have," Chloe tried to explain. "I'd rather have her in my life as my best friend than not have her in it at all."

Chloe was getting angry at the girls. She had tears in her eyes as she looked at all of them. "Just leave it alone. She's going to LA and I'm going to New York. It just wasn't meant to be."

Chloe left the girls standing in the Auditorium. Each of them wondering what they could do. They needed to figure out a way to get their two captains to get their heads out of their asses and admit their feelings.

Time passed and suddenly it was graduation day. The Bellas were running around trying to get everyone together to take one last group photo in their caps and gowns. After the ceremony the Bellas went looking for their families.

"Beca! Beca!," called out Stacie. "Come say hello to my folks."

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Conrad. Nice to see you again," Beca said.

"Congratulations on graduating," they both said.

"Thank you," Beca said. "I'm sorry, but I have to find my dad. He's driving me to the airport."

"Wait! What?," said Stacie. "The airport? Why? I thought you weren't leaving until Sunday."

"I changed my plans. Nothing left for me here, so I'm heading out to LA," Beca explained. "I'll get a few more days to get settled and maybe learn my way around a bit."

Stacie grabbed her up in tight hug. "Do the rest of the Bellas know?," she asked.

"I don't think so, but I don't have time to find them now anyway. I have to get going so I don't miss my flight," Beca said as she pulled away from Stacie. "Look me up if you ever get out to LA," she said as she rushed away.

Beca found her father. They got in his car and headed for the airport.

Chloe, with Tom in tow, Fat Amy, and CR came up to Stacie. "Hey girl! We did it! We graduated!," CR said hugging Stacie.

"Group hug!," shouted Amy as she and Chloe joined the hug.

Stacie pulled back and said, "Beca left. She's headed to the airport to catch a flight to LA today."

"What?", said three voices simultaneously.

"Yeah, she left a few minutes ago," Stacie said.

"Did she say why she was leaving today?," Chloe asked. "I thought she wasn't leaving until Sunday."

"She said there was nothing left for her to stick around for, so she changed her plans," Stacie said watching Chloe closely.

Tears sprang to Chloe's eyes. "She didn't even say goodbye to us, to me," she whispered.

"Come on, Chloe," Tom said. "Let's go. I'm hungry."

"I'm not," Chloe snapped. "Go eat by yourself," she said and stomped off.

2 Months Later in L.A.

"Stacie!," Beca said opening the door to see her best friend standing there. "I can't believe it took you 2 months to finally get your sorry ass out here."

"I would have been here sooner, but I had people to do," Stacie said with a wink. "Boston is major "hunter" territory."

"Not really something I wanted or needed to know," said Beca.

"Nice place, Beca," Stacie said looking around.

"Yeah, but I'm going to have to get a roommate. At least for a little while," Beca said. "I spent more than I budgeted for moving out here and the rent is a little high and I don't want to have to eat Ramen every day. I get paid fairly well but will need a couple of months before I will be better off financially. I figure if I had a roommate it would help some."

"I think I may know someone," Stacie said.

"What? Are you thinking of moving to L.A.?" asked Beca. "That would be awesome!"

"No, not me," said Stacie. "Let me give her a call and have her come over so you can meet her."

Stacie left the room and made the call. About 5 minutes later there was a knock at the door and Stacie answered. She waved the person waiting outside in and closed the door.

"Chloe?!," Beca said looking confused. "What are you doing here?"

"Nice to see you too, Becs," Chloe said with a laugh.

Beca grabbed her and hugged her. Chloe was a bit surprised by this but hugged her back just as hard.

"I miss you," Beca said.

"I miss you, too," Chloe said.

"Alright you two! Break it up," Stacie said.

Beca and Chloe pulled apart and laughed softly.

"So, what does bring you here?," Beca asked.

"Funny thing. I'm an idiot who fell in love with another idiot," Chloe said. "And I didn't realize how much I loved that idiot until she left for L.A. without saying goodbye."

Beca looked at Chloe and blinked a couple if times. "What?," she asked.

"You really are an idiot," Stacie said shaking her head.

"Hey!,' said Beca. "Can we stop with the calling me an idiot thing."

Beca looked at Chloe and said, "So, to recap. You're the idiot in love with another idiot, meaning me, who moved to L.A.?"

"Yep!," Chloe said popping the 'p'."

"Stacie, you knew about this and didn't tell me?," Beca asked looking at Stacie.

"Oh my, God, Beca!," said Stacie. "Stop over thinking this and just kiss her already."

"I'm not over thinking anything," Beca said. "I just want to make sure that what I think is happening here, is really happening."

"It's really happening," Chloe said with a smirk. "I love you, Beca Mitchell. I've loved you for a while now only I was afraid I would lose you forever if I said anything."

"Huh," said Beca.

"So, I hear you're looking for a roommate. I can provide excellent references, proof of income, although I don't start my new job until next week, and I promise, there will be sex, lots and lots of really good sex, thrown in for good measure." Chloe said with a wink and a smirk.

Beca's face flushed. "When can you move in?," she asked, her voice higher than normal.

"Today if you want," Chloe said.

Beca doesn't know how it happened but Chloe was less than a foot away from her. Chloe was looking at her with a gleam in her eye, chewing on her bottom lip.

Beca swallowed and said, "I'll need your first month's rent-"

Chloe coudn't take it anymore and closed the remaining distance between them and grabbed Beca in a kiss. A breath-takingly passionate kiss.

They finally stopped because breathing was becoming an issue. Neither one noticed when Stacie left, but they were alone in the apartment.

"Welcome to your new home," Beca said. "And by the way, I love you, too, idiot," she added, pulling Chloe in for another kiss.
