All the Bellas sat down in the living room, some nervously fidgeting, some staring at the redhead pacing before them, and the others looking at their other leader. Their brunette captain sat on the table in the middle of the room, her eyes downcast, a look of utter rage overtaking her features.
"Spit it out already, Ginger!" Fat Amy said from the couch next to Stacie. "God may have cursed you with that hair, but he blessed you with words. Now use them before I'm shipped back to my homeland in a box covered in glittery kangaroos." Beca glared at the Australian with a fire in her eyes that could scare the dead. "I mean- what I meant was- Continue to move without speaking. We'll wait."
Jessica coughed lightly to get everyone's attention, straightening her back and leaning forward on the couch. Beca was the only one who wasn't looking at her as she addressed Chloe, "I think you should just tell them. It isn't that bad."
"No, you're right," Chloe said, pushing her hair back and coming to a halt. She turned on her heel to face the room, her cerulean blue eyes landing on her girlfriend who had now crossed her arms and was sitting in silence. Her face gave away nothing, but her eyes said everything.
"It's fine," Beca whispered. To everyone else it sounded like she was about to kill someone, but Chloe could tell that she was upset.
The redhead nodded, deciding it was best to just put it out there. "Three years ago, my family took a trip to Germany with Aubrey to celebrate her graduating since her dad wasn't taking her anywhere. We ended up going to this a cappella performance while we were there and I got really, really drunk. The next day I woke up with one of the captains and we kind of hit it off. Basically, I spent the rest of the trip pining after her because I was pissed that Beca was with Jesse. I came back home, she stayed there, but we did a long-distance thing. She visited occasionally. Then we broke up. Then I found out that she had cheated on me. To sum it all up, I was with Kommissar for about a year and then I left her for Beca."
Everyone sat in stunned silence, not knowing what to say.
"Wow..." Emily muttered. "I thought you two had been together since the beginning."
"Oh, Acachild, you are such a romantic. But you're also dumber than a koala that mistakes marijuana for eucalyptus," Amy stated, patting Legacy on the back.
Emily looked at Amy with a confused expression before turning back to Beca and Chloe. "I mean, I'm still shocked that you guys haven't always been a thing, but this isn't that bad. Is it?"
"Once my sister stole a bike, so my father hit her with a chicken and said he was proud of her," Flo threw in.
Chloe started pacing again, her voice getting higher in pitch, "I dated the enemy. I slept with the enemy!" She cried out, but she stopped in her tracks when she saw Beca cringe at the word. "Oh my god-"
"It's fine," Beca assured. "I'm going to get some air."
They watched as their usually tough-as-nails leader walked through the kitchen and out the back door.
Stacie looked at the redhead, "You dated someone while Beca was with Jesse, I'm not seeing why this is such a horrible thing."
"It isn't," Jessica responded.
"Yeah, but it's still Chloe's ex," Cynthia Rose pointed out.
"Why is this bad, Ginger Spice?" Fat Amy asked.
"I stayed with her for nearly a year, but she cheated and Beca was the person I went to for comfort. Beca hates her for it, and now it turns out that she's our competition," Chloe explained.
The Bellas nodded, Legacy eventually piping up, "Beca hates her for hurting you. You hate her for hurting you. You hate her for hurting Beca indirectly. She's a member of the group we have to beat. So… She's Satan?"
"Satan with a rockin' body," Stacie mumbled, biting her lower lip.
"Keep it in your thong," Amy said.
"It's in the past!" Chloe said, her eyes looking towards the kitchen. "We're over, I'm with Beca, and we are going to kick ass at World's. That's it."
No one could say anything before she was rushing in the direction that Beca had gone earlier, her red hair flowing behind her. She spotted her girlfriend sitting in a chair on the deck, staring at the hedges. She slowly made her way over, not wanting to startle the younger girl.
Beca glanced up when she heard footsteps. She tried her best to smirk at the girl, "Hey."
"Hey," Chloe said, stopping just in front of the brunette. She put her hands behind her back, trying to hide her nervousness. "Please don't be mad at me."
The DJ cocked her head to the side, "Why would I be mad at you?"
"Because I should have told you the second that I thought it was the same person, but I didn't. And then I've been talking about-"
"Chlo," Beca said, leaning forward and gripping the girl's hips, "I'm not mad at you."
"You've been sulking all day and I feel like it's my fault," she admitted.
"It isn't. I'm just really stressed right now. I have my internship, I have to figure out the music for our performance, and now I found out that my girlfriend used to date the competition. I hate her, not you," she promised.
"But what if-"
"Come here," Beca laughed lightly, pulling the girl towards her. Chloe sat down on the brunette's lap, her legs thrown over the arm of the chair, her hands fiddling with her thumb ring, and her head in the crook of her girlfriend's neck. "I love you, Red."
"I love you," Chloe smiled.
"I'm not mad at you for dating someone before me, that would be ridiculous. I'm mad that she cheated on you and hurt you. I'm mad that she thinks she's better than us. And I am beyond pissed that she called me a troll," she growled.
Chloe couldn't help but laugh, "You're definitely not a troll."
"I'm still going to kick her ass for saying it," Beca whispered, pressing her lips to Chloe's temple.
"I think I know of a way that we can both be pretty satisfied right now," the redhead mumbled with a mischievous grin.
"Oh, really?" Beca asked, curious as to where Chloe was going with this.
"Mhmm," she hummed as she began to kiss the younger girl's neck, stopping to bite on her pulse point. Beca gasped and dug her nails into Chloe's side on instinct. The redhead leaned up and whispered in the most sultry voice she had, "She was probably the best I ever had, how does that make you feel?"
The DJ turned and captured the redhead's lips in a bruising kiss. Chloe moaned at the possessive and rough nature Beca had taken on, her heart skipping a beat when the brunette bit her lower lip.
The shorter girl looked into Chloe's eyes, the normal stunning blue almost completely black with lust now. Beca growled, "Like you're going to take that back really soon."
Chloe gulped, struggling to speak when Beca was looking at her like that, "Show me."
"Okay…" Emily whispered slowly, the whole room looking at her as she spoke, her eyes never connecting with anyone's. "Beca and Chloe haven't always been together?"
All the Bellas looked between one and other, trying to decide who would be the one to explain their leader's crazy past. Eventually, each woman's gaze fell upon the only person they thought could explain it properly.
"No, there was a good two years between them being completely in love and them actually doing anything about it," Stacie said, her legs crossed and her attention focused on filing her nails.
"Two years?"
"It was almost two years. It was like the spring of our sophomore year."
"What happened?"
"When they weren't together or what happened to get them together?" Cynthia Rose asked Legacy, attempting to clarify, even though they all knew that Stacie would explain both either way.
"Both?" Emily's questioning tone called out.
"Jesse and Beca were together since National's, which was really fucking stupid because it was obvious that they were better friends. God knows why, no one cares, it happened. Now, they dated through summer and up until about December or January. That was a mess… Beca ended it on accident. There was a Bella party with a lot of drinking and when it came time to play this weird Australian kissing game where you choose between two people, let's just say that she did not choose her boyfriend. That ended real quick. He was a bitch about for it for a while, we're all over it. Now, flash forward a few months to a graduation party. There was a lot more drinking, no comparison really, but it's all for the greater good. Our little captain decided it would be a good idea to see if she could jump from one roof to the other… Of the Bella House to the Treble House-" Stacie explained, her finger on her chin as she kept recalling details.
"WAIT- Beca jumped from one roof to the other?" Legacy cut in.
"I never said she made it," Stacie declared. "She tried, but she was too drunk and ended up landing in the hedge between the houses. Even though it was fucking hilarious, the dumbass actually broke her arm. Surprisingly, Chloe hadn't been drinking and she was the only person who could take her to the hospital. All of us went too, Chloe drove and we ended up waiting in the waiting room for what felt like hours-"
"What kind of car did you-"
"Hush, young one. This is the best part," Amy threw her hand over the newest member's mouth.
"While we were waiting, Chloe was a wreck. They wouldn't let her go with Beca to get X-Rays, even though Beca was begging them to let her. So, while Chloe is just pacing back and forth, Jesse rushes into the ER and starts asking the nurse where his girlfriend is. They hadn't been together for months, but I guess he saw this as his great moment in the movie to swoop in and win her back, and Chloe was having none of his shit. Those two started fighting and screaming at each other, it was great. Then the doctor walks out, looks at the group, and says, 'Your girlfriend is asking for you.' Jesse, of course, starts walking towards the guy, but he stops him and just goes, 'Sir, I really don't think you are the red-head she's talking about.' So Chloe blows by him and goes to see Beca, leaving Romeo to sulk away, and Beca then walks out of her small room with her cast raised over her head, yelling that she had written 'I love Chloe' on her cast."
"And… That's it?"
"That's it. They got together because Beca was drunk, broke her arm, and wrote her feelings on the cast."
"That… Is not how I pictured that happening."
"We all thought they would sleep together, but apparently the true way to Chloe's heart is with a Sharpie and a hospital bed," Stacie stated.
So, I figure that this story will just be a short one, maybe two or three more parts to it. I just want to split everything up evenly. Review it guys, cause you know I love hearing your opinions!
