Aubrey was relaxing in her room when there was a knock on her door. She opened the door and found most of the Bellas standing there.

"Hey, Brey," Stacie said. "We wanted to talk to you about Beca and Chloe."

Aubrey sighed and opened the door to allow the girls to come in. The girls all found somewhere to sit while Aubrey chose to stand.

"What do you want to talk about?," Aubrey asked with her arms folded across her chest.

"For starters," Stacie said. "What the hell really happened at yours and Chloe's graduation? Because whatever it was, it caused Beca to leave without a word to any of us. It also caused a big riff between all of us and Chloe. And then six months later Chloe marries some guy we never even heard about or knew. I think we deserve to know what really happened."

"It's not my place to say," Aubrey said looking at the floor.

The girls looked at each other. They could see they weren't going to get much out of Aubrey and decided to leave it, for now.

"Okay," Stacie said. "What's wrong with Trish?"

"What?," Aubrey asked her head jerking up to look at Stacie.

"You forget, it's Dr. Conrad," Stacie said. "I can tell there is something wrong with her. I've only been around her for a few hours and I've noticed that she tires very easily, she's underweight, she hardly ate anything at dinner, and Beca treats her likes she going to break any minute."

"Again, it's not my place to say," Aubrey tells the group.

"Fine," Stacie said. "I'll just ask Beca."

"Dammit, Stacie," Aubrey says. "You can't do that."

"I can and will, unless you tell us," Stacie said.

The two women stared at each other. The other girls didn't say anything. Suddenly there's a knock at the door.

"Great," Aubrey says. "That's probably Chloe. She was going to talk to Beca."

"I think it's Jessica and Ashley," Denise said. "I texted them to meet us here."

Aubrey walks over and opens the door to find Jessica and Ashley.

"So, what's going on?," Jessica asks as she enters and sees most of the Bellas.

"They're asking what happened between Beca and Chloe," Aubrey tells her.

"What did you tell them?," Jessica asked.

"Nothing," Aubrey told her.

"Wait," CR said. "Jessica, you know what happened?"

"Yes," Jessica said but didn't elaborate.

The other girls started firing questions and accusations at both Aubrey and Jessica.

"Stop, just stop!," Jessica yelled to be heard. "I think you guys deserve to know what happened. But, I can only give you Chloe's reasons for doing what she did. She truly loves Beca and didn't mean for it to get as far as it did. She didn't mean to hurt Beca."

"Look," Stacie said. "We all love Chloe and we all love Beca. What happened between them, caught a lot of us by surprise. But the big questions is, if Chloe loved Beca as much as you say she did, how could she have gotten married just 6 months after breaking up. She seemed to move on fairly quickly."

"She married Ray because she had to, not because she wanted to," Jessica snapped out. "Shit!"

Jessica runs her hands through her hair. Aubrey touches her arm.

"Maybe we should just tell them," Aubrey tells Jessica.

"Wait," Amy says. "She had to marry Ray? Was she pregnant? Did she cheat on Beca? Oh my God! I'm going to kill that redhead."

"No, Amy," Aubrey said trying to calm the Australian down. "If anything, Chloe cheated on Ray with Beca."

"What the actual fuck?," Stacie said.

The girls again started talking over one another. Aubrey put her hands to her head and started rubbing her temples.

"Okay, okay!," Jessica shouted. "We're going to tell you everything we know."

Jessica starts telling the girls about Chloe's 'arranged' marriage.

Meanwhile, down in the bar Chloe is wiping tears from her eyes as she finishes telling Beca about her marriage, her dad, the business, her divorce. Everything that had happened since she met Beca.

Beca sits there stone faced. She was trying to absorb and process everything Chloe just told her. She gulped down her drink that she hadn't touched since Chloe started talking. She called the waitress over and ordered a double.

Chloe just sat there waiting and watching Beca. Chloe could tell Beca was trying to process what she just heard.

"So, let me get this straight," Beca said. "When you agreed to go out with me, you were already with Ray."

"Technically, yes," Chloe answered.

"And the whole time we were together," Beca said. "You couldn't tell me what was going on?"

"I wanted to," Chloe said. "I just wanted to tell my dad about us first. But, every time I tried he would get sick or tell me how I was being a good 'company woman' by being with Ray."

"That's why you wanted to keep things quiet about us?," Beca asked. "Because you didn't want it to get back to your father?"

"Yes," Chloe said quietly.

"And, you cheated on Ray," Beca said. "With me."

"Actually," Chloe said. "I never slept with Ray when you and I were together. I only slept with Ray once and that was on our wedding night. I felt like I was cheating on you when I did."

"Wow," Beca said. "I can't believe you didn't trust me enough to tell me all this. I could have helped you figure out how to get out of the marriage. Hell, I would have married you and been by your side when you told your dad about us."

"I told you," Chloe said. "I was a coward. I thought you would walk away as soon as you heard about Ray. Which you did by the way."

"That's not fair, Chloe," Beca said. "I didn't know what was really going on. It's kind of hard to stick around when the love of your life introduces you to her fiance. Did Aubrey know about Ray?"

"No," Chloe said. "She found out when you did. I never told her about him. I did tell Jessica. She told me I should tell you, but I coudn't. I was daddy's little girl. He was always there for me, especially after my mom died. My two brothers wanted nothing to do with the company, so I was my dad's only hope in keeping it going when he was gone. I'd been groomed to take over for my dad since I was 12 years old. After graduation, he spent 2 years teaching me everything about the business from the ground up. He retired and turned the company over to me when I was 23 years old. I wanted so badly to contact you after I divorced Ray, but I thought you hated me. I buried myself in my work and tried so hard to forget about you. It didn't work. I never stopped loving you."

Chloe has tears flowing freely down her face. Beca is just looking at her.

"I did hate you," Beca said. "I got over it."

Beca sat there thinking. She still couldn't process everything Chloe told her. She felt bad for Chloe. Having to do all that just to satisfy her father.

"I," Beca starts. "Considering I only went to college because my father made me, I sort of understand why you did it. Doesn't mean I have to agree with it. I wish I could tell you what you want to hear, but I have Trish. I'm getting married."

Chloe felt a tightness in her chest. "I know," she said to Beca. "I'm not asking you for anything other than friendship. I just wanted to tell you why what happened, happened. I guess I was hoping we could at least be friends."

Beca didn't say anything.

"It's just that," Chloe said. "We're moving our company headquarters to LA and I'll be relocating from Tampa. It would be nice to see a friendly face, or two, once I'm out there."

Beca didn't know how to take this news. Her and Chloe in the same city. As friends?

Back in Aubrey's room, the girls are sitting in stunned silence. Each taking in what Jessica and Aubrey told them.

"So, let me make sure I understand this" Denise says breaking the silence. "Chloe married Ray because her father basically made her. Beca didn't know anything about Ray until she heard he was Chloe's fiance at graduation. Beca left and broke all contact with Chloe and us because of it. And now, Chloe's divorced and Beca's engaged to someone else."

"That about sums it up," Aubrey says.

"This is fucked up," Stacie mumbles.

"Yes, it is," Aubrey says. "And, don't say anything to Chloe or Beca, but I'm pretty sure Beca is still in love with Chloe."

"But she's engaged," CR says.

"I know," Aubrey says.

"And," Jessica pipes. "I know for a fact that Chloe is still in love with Beca."

"But, Beca is engaged," CR repeats.

"We know that, CR," Aubrey says getting agitated. "We're not saying anything is going to happen between Beca and Chloe. We're just trying to put everything out there. We have to just continue the reunion as if everything is okay. Can we do that?"

The girls all agree and start leaving Aubrey's room. Jessica says something to Ashley and stays back.

"Do you really think nothing will happen between Beca and Chloe this weekend?," Jessica asked Aubrey once they were alone.

"I know that Beca is committed to making Trish happy," Aubrey says. "I don't think she would cheat on her, even with Chloe."

"What is really up with those two?," Jessica asks. "I mean, Denise told me what Stacie said and I agree that something's wrong with Trish. And, maybe it's me, but Beca and Trish don't act like two people who are in love and getting married."

"It really isn't my place to tell you," Aubrey said not looking at Jessica.

Jessica looks at Aubrey. Aubrey is still looking at the floor. She looks up and Jessica sees something in Aubrey's eyes that make her come to a realization.

"Oh my, God!," Jessica exclaims. "Is Beca marrying Trish because she's sick?"

"It's not my place to tell you," Aubrey responds weakly.

"Come on, Aubrey," Jessica said. "I'm right aren't I? Just tell me if I'm right. I'm not going to say anything to anybody."

Beca and Chloe are still sitting in the bar. Neither has said anything for a few minutes.

"Beca," Chloe says breaking the silence. "Could you just say something? Please?"

"I'm sorry, Chloe," Beca said. "I'm just trying to process everything. It's kinda werid but I think it would be okay if we were friends. Plus, Trish is a real estate agent and could help you find a house or an apartment in LA. And, I know all the best pizza and Chinese delivery places with a 15 mile radius of the city."

Chloe laughed and wiped away a tear that had fallen on her cheek.

"Having Trish help me find a place would be great," Chloe said. "I'm actually flying to LA on Monday to start my house search and get the office set up. I'd like to buy a house and have some ideas of what I want. And I definitely want the numbers to the pizza and Chinese delivery places. I practically live on food delivery."

Beca smiled. "Maybe it won't be so awkward or hard having Chloe living in the same city," Beca thought.

"I'll talk to Trish," Beca said. "She probably has a list of houses available and we can show you around when you get to LA."

"Thanks, Beca," Chloe says. "For everything."

"No problem," Beca says. "I'd better get back to Trish. Let me text to see is she's still awake. Maybe you can talk to her about what you're looking for."

"Um, yeah, of course," Chloe said.

"Sounds good," Beca said.

She texts Trish about Chloe moving to LA and wanting to buy a house and if she was up to talking to Chloe. Trish texts back to bring Chloe by to talk houses. Beca pays the tab and the two head up to Beca's room.

"Come on in," Beca says opening the door.

They walk in to find Trish sitting on the chair with several papers in front of her.

"Hey, Chloe," Trish said. "I don't know what you're looking for but I have several really great houses here. I'm sure we can find some you like. I'll be happy to show them to you when you get to LA."

Beca and Chloe walk over to where Trish is sitting. Chloe takes a seat and Beca stands behind Trish. She puts her hands on Trish's shoulders.

"Thank you for doing this," Chloe tells Trish.

"It's my job," Trish said. "It's how Beca and I met actually. Well, my dad is Beca's boss and he told her about me being a real estate agent."

Beca gave a small smile to Chloe.

"So," Trish says. "What are some of the things you are looking for?"

"I definitely want a pool," Chloe says. "Practically the only exercise I get these days. Plus it relaxes me. At least 4 bedrooms for when my family comes to visit. I'd love a big kitchen. I'm hoping to get back into cooking. I don't do it so much anymore. Um, an office or library with built-in shelves. I'm think that's pretty much it."

"Okay," Trish says.

Trish pulls out five or six of the papers she has lying on the table. Chloe can see that they are actually brochures of several different houses.

"Anything else?," Trish asks.

"Um, I don't want a fixer upper kind of place," Chloe said. "I'd like a yard, but nothing too big. I don't always have time to care of it."

"We can work with that," Trish says. "Plus, if you do find a place you love and it has a big yard, we can refer you to Beca's landscaper. They do great work."

"Okay," Chloe said. "Um, I like a brick or stone exterior. Oh, and I love those showers that have those multiple shower heads."

Trish smiles and looks at the brochure she had previously pulled out. She puts them in some kind of order and moves closer to Chloe.

"I think these have what you are looking for," Trish says. "Do you have a price limit?"

"No," Chloe says. "As cliche as this sounds, money is no object for me."

"Great," Trish says. "Let's take a looks at these and we can narrow it down more if you want or we can just schedule a time so you can see all of them."

Chloe smiles and starts looking through the brochures. They are all pretty much what she was looking for. She chews her bottom lip and looks through them several times.

"I kind of like all of them," Chloe says. "How long will it take to get an appointment to see them all?"

"These are all mine," Trish says. "So, I'm available whenever you come to LA. Don't worry, there is one in here that I think you will fall in love with once you actually see it."

"Great," Chloe says. "I'm actually flying to LA on Monday and will be there for two weeks. Will you have any time to show me the houses?"

"I have an appointment I must make on Tuesday," Trish says. "So maybe we can meet on, let's say, Thursday? I can show you around all day if you want. That way we can hit all the houses since they are only a few miles apart."

Chloe pulls out her iPhone and checks her schedule.

"Thursday is fine," Chloe says. "My schedule is wide open all day."

"Great," Trish says. "We'll pick you up at 9:00 am. Where will you be staying?"

"We?," Chloe says.

"Yeah," Beca says. "Trish doesn't drive so I'll be playing chauffer for you guys."

"Oh," Chloe says. "Um, I'll have a car and driver so why don't I pick Trish up and you can do whatever you need to do."

"It's really okay," Beca said. "I'm happy to do it."

Chloe chews her bottom lip and continues looking at the brochures to give her time to think. She didn't know how she would be able to handle having Beca with her while she looked at houses. It was something that she used to think about when they were together. Buying a home together, getting married.

"Chloe?," Beca called her name.

"What?," Chloe asks. "I'm sorry. I was, um, just looking at the houses again and thinking."

"Where are you staying in LA?," Beca asks.

"I'm booked at the Four Seasons," Chloe finally tells her.

"Okay," Trish says. "It's settled. We will pick you up at 9:00 am on Thursday at the Four Seasons. Give me your number and we'll text you when we're on our way."

Chloe gives Trish her number. Trish sends Chloe a text so she has Trish's number as well.

"Becs," Trish says. "Give me your phone."

Chloe's felt a tug on her heart when she heard Trish call Beca 'Becs.' That's the same nickname she used to call Beca. This is going to be much harder than the thought.

Beca hands Trish her phone. Trish puts Chloe's number in and sends another text to Chloe.

"That is Beca's number," Trish says. "That way you can reach either of us. I can't wait for you to move to LA. We're are going to be such good friends."

Chloe gives Trish a small smile and says, "I feel the same way."

Chloe gets up and thanks Trish again.

"It's getting late," Chloe said. "I should be going. Aubrey's got a group breakfast planned for 8:30 a.m. and I do not want to be late and suffer a Posen glare-down."

"I hear 'ya," Beca said with a laugh. "She still scares the shit of me sometimes."

Beca walks Chloe to the door.

"See you tomorrow, Chloe," Beca says as Chloe leaves.

"See you guys tomorrow," Chloe says with a small wave.

Chloe walks down the hall to her room. As she is opening her door she sees Jessica and Aubrey. Jessica was just leaving and Aubrey was saying goodbye.

"Hey guys," Chloe calls out and starts walking toward them.

"Hey, Chlo," Jessica says. "What were you up to?"

"I was just with Trish and Beca," Chloe says. "Trish is a real estate agent and is going to show me some houses in LA."

"LA?," Aubrey asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah," Chloe said. "Can we all talk in your room?"

"Sure," Aubrey says standing aside to let the two girls in.

Chloe and Jessica sit in the two chairs occupying the room and Aubrey sits on the end of the bed.

"What's this about LA?," Aubrey asks.

"Yeah," Chloe says. "We're moving our headquarters from Tampa to LA. The Board decided we needed to have a larger presence and thought that LA was our best bet. Believe me, I fought it but was overruled."

"But, aren't you, like the big boss or something?," Jessica asked.

"I am," Chloe said. "Only the Board can overrule me if they feel it is for the benefit of the company. So, I really don't have a choice in the matter."

"How are you feeling about it?," Aubrey asked.

"I'm okay, I guess," Chloe said. "I talked to Beca and she understands why I did what I did. We've decided to try and be friends."

"So, what's the problem?," Jessica asked.

"I'm not sure I can do it," Chloe says honestly. "I'm the one who suggested it, but now I'm not sure it's a good idea for me to be around Beca so much."

"What's changed?," Jessica asked.

"Trish," Chloe said. "I mean, Trish offered to take me around to see some houses that are on the market. Beca will be driving us around because Trish doesn't drive. When Beca said she would be there, my thoughts went back to when we were talking about moving in together. I thought about how I wished it was me and Beca looking at houses and I, just, I-," Chloe stopped as tears streamed down her face.

Aubrey got up and walked over to Chloe, pulling her into a hug.

"It didn't hurt this much when I though Beca actually hated me," Chloe said through her tears.

"Maybe you need to distance yourself from Beca a little bit," Jessica said. "Take some time when you go back home to get some control over your feelings."

"I can't," Chloe said. "I'm supposed to fly out to LA on Monday to get started on setting up the new offices. I made an appointment with Trish for Thursday to see houses. We plan to open the new office in six weeks and I need to be there for it. Once we open, I'm expected to stay in LA. I'm so screwed."

"You're supposed to be moving to LA in six weeks and you just now decided to look for a house?," Aubrey asks.

"I knew Beca was somewhere in LA," Chloe says. "I just didn't want to think about moving out there and possibly running into her so I kept putting it off."

"How'd that work out for you?," Aubrey asks with a smile.

Jessica chuckled.

"Shut up," Chloe said with a small laugh.

"Seems to me you have two choices," Aubrey says. "One - you suck it up and continue with your plans to fly to LA on Monday and see houses with Trish and Beca on Thursday. OR, two - you suck it up and continue with your plans to fly to LA on Monday and see houses with Trish and Beca on Thursday."

"You're right," Chloe says. "Maybe the more I see Beca and Trish together, I'll be able to start seeing Beca as just a friend. Right?"

"I think it's a good start," Jessica tells her. "Are you good now?"

"Yeah," Chloe says with a smile. "I'm good."

"Glad to hear it," Jessica says. "I'm going to bed. See you ladies in the morning."

"Yeah," Chloe says. "I should head out as well. Good night, Brey, Jessica. Thanks for talking this through with me. I'll see you in the morning.

Aubrey walks the two girls to the door. The three friends hug and go to their rooms.
