A/N: I've uploaded the first three chapters. Not sure how long the fic will be but I have plans for this one too ;)
Also, sorry for the rough chapter (this is what happens when you're driving yourself insane for an exam).
I don't own pitch perfect.
Beca was gone.
And Chloe didn't mean gone from Denmark all the Bellas helped her get back home as fast as she could to see her dad.
Chloe couldn't help but think about how much the DJ has changed since the first day she stepped on the grounds of Barden, and it made her happy to see that she was more open to people now. That she was even able to fix her relationship with her dad.
So when her healthy as a horse dad gets a heart attack, Chloe understood, Beca needed to get to him ASAP.
And Chloe held back on springing the whole 'I've been secretly in love with you this past four years' thing.
Chloe thought that could wait until she they get back to Barden and know that Dr. Mitchell was going to fine.
Except Beca was gone.
All her things.
Everything.
She left without saying a word.
And Chloe was completely taken aback by this.
The Bellas, being the Bellas, soon found out why.
Dr. Mitchell was going to be fine. But there was a serious verbal smack down in the hospital with Sheila about some stupid argument they all really couldn't comprehend what it was about.
All they knew for sure was that Beca packed her bags immediately and left.
And apparently left for LA, as Chloe soon found out when she called Jesse to ask if he's heard anything about Beca.
"She's fine Chloe. Not really speaking to me though." Jesse said over the phone.
"How come?" Chloe asked. She felt like it was pushing a little but her concern for how Beca was overwhelmed her unspoken boundary with Jesse.
"I wanted to know why she was so upset and she didn't want to say anything. I guessed I pushed to hard? I don't know. Apparently it was something about her mom so… yeah…"
"How is she?" Chloe found herself asking weakly. She tried to call Beca a dozen of times but no answer. She must've turned her phone off.
"Upset. I've been banned from her apartment until further notice. But you know, I'm a persistent so I kept on checking on her by she left."
"Left?"
"I'm not sure where she was off to. But since she has two weeks to settle down before she starts in her new job I think she went on a trip somewhere."
"Oh." Chloe let out as a reply, her voice sounding a little heartbroken and worried. Heartbroken because Beca didn't even let her know anything. Beca's changed so much…
…and felt like she was retreating back to her walls.
"She just needs time Chloe. Don't worry about it."
"Yeah, sure. Let me know if you hear anything."
Three whole days passed.
But nothing.
No word from Beca.
No word from Jesse.
Chloe groaned as she checked her phone for the umpteenth time that day, annoyed that for whatever reason her phone had no signal. She had just moved in with Aubrey, her best friend ever so ecstatic that they'll be living together again.
Just like the good ol' days.
And much to Aubrey's dismay, Chloe was back to pining away for Beca.
Yep, just like the good old days.
Aubrey threw one of the throw pillows at Chloe's direction as soon as she joined her in the living room.
"Seriously though Chlo, what does the munchkin have that's gotten you so wound up like this?" Aubrey said, absent-mindedly flipping through the channel.
Chloe made a face that made Aubrey laugh a little before she finally mumbled, "She's Beca. That's it. That's all. She's Beca."
"Oh Chloe, what's stopping you from following her to wherever she is? I think you've waited long enough."
"I don't know where she is Aubrey."
"That's an obstacle Chlo. You've always pretty much barreled through any and every obstacle thrown at your way. Chloe, just – "
Chloe never got the chance to hear the rest of what Aubrey was saying as her phone rang and she immediately jumped to answer it. Glad to finally hearing it ringing.
"Jesse! Have any news on Beca?" Chloe immediately asked.
But there was no answer form the Treble, just him breathing irregularly.
"Jesse, are you okay?"
"Oh my, Chlo, look." Aubrey then said pointing at the main news for what seemed to be the whole day... well… the last three hours…
A ferry crash at the San Francisco Bay area.
Twelve were already confirmed dead.
A few injured.
A few more missing.
To make matters worse, a storm started raging on, making rescue efforts even more difficult.
"Hang on Bree." Chloe said to her best friend before returning to Jesse on the phone. "Jesse, are you still there?"
"Ye-yeah. Chloe, you should sit down." Jesse said through the line, his voice cold and distant.
"Jesse, what's the matter?"
"I was on the phone with Beca a while ago, before she said she was going to call you."
"Well she hasn't yet."
"She called three hours ago Chlo… she's… is that the news on the background?"
Chloe's heart had been sinking lower and lower from the tone in Jesse's voice, so Jesse's going on a tangent was not something that helped her situation. "Jesse! What is it!?"
"Oh Chlo…" Aubrey then said, her face looking grave.
"What is it Bree?"
And that was when Chloe switched her attention back to the television.
Chloe has only met Beca's mom once in the whole time she's known the young DJ, and it was during a Christmas charity event that the Bellas were invited over for a performance.
Three things she knew at that moment: One, Beca's mom lived in San Francisco. Two, Beca left because of some sort of argument she had with Sheila with her mom while at the hospital. Three, Beca's mom was on TV as the news reporter was interviewing family and friends of the victims of the crash.
Chloe dropped her phone, unsure where it landed.
She was pretty sure her heart dropped straight to the ground though.
And she never knew she could ever feel so numb, until that moment.
When she knew she's waited for so long.
And when the storm decided to rage on.
Chloe's fears were becoming more and more of a reality.
She's losing Beca.
Losing her for the rest of her life.
Because Beca was gone.
And she may never come back.
