Hello everybody! Thank you, for taking the time to read this story.
As you can see I changed the dashes for the quotation marks, I hope it's better now. I'll be doing this for the previous chapter as well.
I forgot to add the disclaimer in the first chapter so… Yeah I don't own pitch perfect guys, in case some of you wondered.
I hope you enjoy this!
Beca was running all over the stage. "This is a disaster" she thought. The panic was rising through her spine, her hands were a sweaty mess. She really didn't know what to do, so she just stood there frozen.
"BECAAAAA." Amy was now screaming her name
"Please make it stop." Beca said
Amy screamed her name one more time. "BECAAA."
She felt something sharp and cold hitting her all over her face, suddenly the whole stage was underwater.
"Finally" Amy was sitting on the living room table, holding an empty glass of water, giving her the strangest look. "You were having like, a really intense dream."
"It felt really vivid." Beca was now sitting on her couch looking down at nothing and shaking her head"
"Yeah, I was gonna let you keep dreaming, but you started shouting my name and I really wanted to know what I was doing" Amy said shrugging.
"I think my heart's still racing" Beca said, moving her right hand to her chest. In that moment she realized her shirt was wet, and her face and hair. "Why am I wet?"
"I threw water at you" fat Amy said shaking the glass in front of Beca like it was obvious. "Are you gonna tell me or what?"
Beca choose to ignore the water part mainly because she really wanted to stop that dream "So, we were like in a singing group" Beca cleared her voice. "With some other people, and we were singing on this big stage for a big audience." She shifted her position on the couch. "Even the president was there!" Beca said a little too excited which got fat Amy excited too
"Fancy" the Australian said.
"Then you came on stage."
Fat Amy smiled. "Obviously, saving the best for last"
Beca exhaled loudly. "Yeah, I'll say…." Beca paused for a moment, she was re-living the dream. "Anyways… You didn't came like form the ground, You were floating on the air with like this dance-rope-thingys" Beca tried to gesture the ropes with her hands. "You know those ones?"
Fat Amy nodded, getting excited.
"You were singing wrecking ball."
"Excellent song choice for me" Amy added.
"I know, right?" Beca looked away dramatically. "But, then it happened!"
"What?"
"You got stuck! Backwards to the audience, spread eagle style"
Amy covered her mouth with her hands. "In front of the president?"
"And the first Lady" Beca continued. "That's not the worst part. You had a wardrobe malfunction"
"Oh no…"
"Oh yes… Your overalls ripped. On your crotch area"
"Oh no" Amy got up rapidly, shaking her hands over her head. The she walked towards the kitchen.
Beca got up and walked right behind her. "And then, you started turning, slowly but unstoppable. We all knew what was was coming, but we couldn't look away"
Amy's face was distorted with a clear expression of disgust "Why Beca? Why didn't you tried to stop it?!"
"I tried Amy, I swear"
"LIEEEER" Amy said pointing at Beca's face with her whole arm.
"Amy, listen to me" Beca grabbed Amy by the shoulder. "There was nothing me or anyone could do" She said with a very serious face. "You dream-flashed the president" Beca paused. "And all the other people there. There's nothing we can do about it, Ok?" Beca let go of her arms.
"Ok." Amy said, looking really sad.
There was a moment of silence. Amy was pretending to do the dishes and Beca was just sitting on the breakfast countertop.
"I'm sure the president enjoyed, though."
Beca narrowed her eyes and nodded slowly. "Definitely." She said.
"You should stop eating taco bell before you go to sleep" Amy said "That's what makes you have weird dreams about my crotch in singing competitions."
But it wasn't the crunchy taco supreme with extra chipotle she ate for a diner that made her have this dream about singing competitions. When Amy woke her up, she was so wrapped up in her dream that she didn't immediately remember what she was doing last night.
After she talked to Cynthia Rose, she intended to find out about Chloe's instagram page, but she had one really long meeting with the owners of the company and 3 radio interviews.
She came home at 2am and she immediately dropped herself on her couch pull out her laptop and started investigating Chloe.
It turns out everything Beca assumed about Chloe was wrong. She had her pegged as this pretty girl that just took pretty pictures of herself and some funny videos with no real talent or purpose… Boy, was she wrong!
Chloe's page wasn't about pretty pictures, it wasn't even about herself really. Chloe was apparently a science teacher, and she, along with some of her friends created this instagram page where they relate science news or facts with pop culture. Their aim, Beca thought was to wake the interest of kids and teens on science.
She was in awe, her videos were funny and smart, she found herself watching one after the other, until there was no more. She even watched really old videos of when Chloe was in college singing with her acapella group, thus her weird singing group dream. Beca, of course didn't share any of this with Amy.
Immerse in her thoughts Beca hadn't notice that Amy was making them lunch until the repetitive sound of steel against wood pulled her out of her head. Amy was chopping some vegetables. The moment she noticed her surroundings her senses came back, and something really tasty hit her nose. "What are we having?" Beca decided to help Amy.
"Dog's eye" Amy smiled.
"Bon appetit" Amy said with a terrible Italian accent. They were about to start their lunch finally. Cooking the dog's eye properly can take a while, Beca had a chance to take a shower, blow-dry her hair and tweak some mixes before it was ready. She was taking the first bite when she heard a voice coming form the living room.
"Hellooo Ladies!" Jesse said entering the kitchen. "Something smells delicious here"
"Yeah, your timing is really suspicious" Beca said.
"Hello nerd" Amy greeted Jesse. "You want some?"
Jesse pulled a chair and joined them at the table. "Don't mind if I do"
Finally, they dig into their food.
"This is delicious" Jesse said, but his mouth was full so it came out really muffed. "What it's this?"
"It's dog's eye" Amy answered candidly. "It's an australian dish"
Beca immediately looked at Jesse, his face was completely pale, he seem to be about to barf. Fat Amy and Beca couldn't contain their laugh. Beca decided to say something before he actually started throwing up. "Relax, That's just the local name. It's just a meat pie"
Jesse visually relaxed and slowly the color started coming back to his face. "It was really disturbing for a moment, because i liked it alot"
They resume their lunch normally until Beca decided to ask something. "Hey, Amy… Do you have that girls number?"
Jesse stopped eating. "What girl?" he said smiling.
Amy just looked at her, expecting more information.
"You know? Chloe Beale"
Amy stopped her fork midway to her mouth, she looked up at Beca. "Yes." she finally said.
"Chloe Beale? Who is Chloe Beale?" Jesse asked
"Well…?" Beca said.
"Well…?" Amy mirrored
"Can I have it?" Beca ask annoyed.
"No."
"What?" Beca frowned. "Why?"
Amy looked away. "I don't have it."
"But you just said you did"
"Yeah… I did… And yet, maybe I didn't." Amy started playing with her food. "I mean I did have it, but somebody threw it away."
"Who?" Beca asked.
Amy smiled nervously. "Fat Patricia?"
"I know that's you Amy." Beca rolled her eyes.
"Remember how you told me to clean my desk? Well after you left yesterday that's what I did, and since you decided to crush Red's dream…" Amy smile weakly, shrinking in her shoulders. "Sorry" She said.
"Amy!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you would grow a soul overnight"
"Oh my God" Jesse said exasperated "Can somebody tell me who this girl is?"
But the girls continued ignoring him, Beca was too concern with not having Chloe's number and Amy, well she just seems to enjoy torturing Jessie like that.
"I watched all her videos, and I misjudged her." Beca groaned. "She's actually pretty great and I'll be happy to work with her."
"You know what? Never mind I'll just google her" Jessie with a mocking tone.
"You did grew a soul" Amy teased. "Wait did you just said you watched all her videos?"
Beca laughed nervously. "It wasn't… I mean.." she blushed. "That's not the point Amy."
"I Found her" Jessie was excited "Wow! No wonder you want her number"
Beca flushed harder
"Why don't you write her a comment on her page asking for her number?" Amy asked
"Eww, no." Beca shook her head. "That's so impersonal and so no my style"
"Well if you really want to talk to this girl, I can tell you where she will be for a couple of hours" Jessie said.
"What?" Fat Amy was confused.
"How?" Beca said equally confused.
"Well, well, well… Look who's got all the attention now" He said victorious. "I shouldn't tell you because you two were rude and ignored me" He was now leaning on the chair playfully. "Maybe, if you apologise"
Beca rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry… That you are so sensitive." she crossed her arms. "That's all you're gonna get"
Jessie nodded "I'll take it" He placed his phone on the table in front of Beca. "Chloe just posted this picture"
Fat Amy leaned in.
Beca looked at it. It was a studio lot, she didn't see nothing relevant it it. Beca looked up at Jessie confused.
Now Jessie was rolling his eyes. "Read the caption"
"Time to get your hopes up guys. Part III of our history series starts shooting right now!" Beca read out loud.
"We still don't know where this is." Amy said.
"You girls, may not know… But I do."
"What a plot twist" Beca said sarcastically.
"You are so funny Becs" He said fake smiling.
"Thank you" Beca said touching her hair, pretending to be humble.
"It's gonna come handy when you write her that instagram message to contact her" Jessie said with a mocking grin
"Ok, I'll stop" Beca said looking down.
"Are we going or what?" Amy asked already walking through the living room towards the main door.
They all got into Jesse's car, fat Amy called shotgun, so Beca was in the back which worked fine for her because she really hadn't thought this through. She could hear Jessie explaining how a friend of his is filming something in the same studios Chloe is, but that was just became background noise for Beca, the only thing in her mind was Chloe. What was she gonna say or do? She was an idiot to Chloe and shot her down for no reason at all. The girl was nothing but nice, but Beca didn't even give her a chance. The last time and the only time that she was in the presence of Chloe she made her feel things, and also made her not feel things, like her legs, and arms…. and face. Beca wasn't in control of herself for most of the time she spent with Chloe. That made her feel nervous and uneasy, she almost stopped the whole thing, but the truth was that the thought of seeing Chloe makes her really happy, so happy that another smile actually reached her face.
"Beca" Jesse said. "We are here."
They found the studio easily, the security guard actually knew Chloe by name, he seemed very fond of her, Beca didn't know why but that made her like Chloe more. Jesse told the old man that they were working on a project with Chloe and throw a few technical words to make it believable. Now here there are right in front of Chloe's studio door. "There's only one thing left to do" Beca said.
"What?" Jesse asked confused.
"Knock the door" Beca said smiling
"NOOO" Jessie said trying to stop her, but she was too slow. She was already knocking.
"What?! Jesus, why?!
All the sudden Beca hears a familiar screeching voice. "CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT"
"Yeah" Jesse said "They were filming right now"
"Awkward" Amy said singing.
"Oh, God…" Beca buried her face into her hands. "I just ruined their scene"
And this was chapter 2.
So, I know I haven't really delivered in the Bechloe department, but trust me, it's coming. Next chapter is from Chloe's POV.
And in case you are wondering the screeching voice Beca hears screaming "cut" its Aubrey's, So…That's gonna be fun!
See you next chapter!
