Day Three: The Finding


Chloe woke up that morning, hoping for good news. The day started out great. Beca's father had called saying they had a lead to the captivity of Beca. She was waiting, for a real answer. Aubrey, noticing Chloe's attitude change, decided to have Bella practice. Aubrey wanted to take Chloe's mind off things.

"We won't have enough people," Stacie told them, as she the members sat on the chairs set for them. She wanted to be realistic. Ever since Beca had gone missing, she hasn't been able to think of sex, fearing her next one night stand could kidnap her.

"We will. Watch, the police will find Beca. She's going to return to us, alive. I know she will," Chloe told her teammates. She had faith, and she hoped that Beca was safe and sound. Unharmed, and breathing.

*Somewhere else*

"This is the police, opened the door!" the police demanded, as they banged on the doors.

The survivor looked up, then at the body. They didn't know what to do. They were covered in blood, the warm blood.

*At Barden*

The Bellas were sitting on the ground, taking a small break. Dr. Mitchell entered the practice area, no expression in his face. He walked towards them, stiffly. The Bellas noticed him, but they didn't take in posture. Behind him, Jesse entered, but he didn't know what was going on.

"Chloe, can I speak with you?" the missing DJ's father asked, not making any eye contact with anyone.

"If it's about Beca, you can tell all of us," Chloe said as she stood up. Everyone stood up, with Aubrey standing near Chloe. Jesse moved towards the Bellas, so he could see Dr. Mitchell's face.

"Th-the police found Beca," he started, putting his hand in his pockets. He looked towards the ground.

Chloe's eyes lit up. "Let's go see her!" She tried to run out the room, but Aubrey stopped her. "What's wrong with you?" Chloe snapped, as she glared at her best friend.

Aubrey noticed the look on the man's face. "There's more," the blond said.

Everyone turned to Beca's father, and notice his form. The way he stood in front of them.

"Th-they found Beca, b-but sh-she wasn't breathing," he told them, tears falling down his face. He was trying hard not to break down. He needed to tell them what he was told.

"Wh-what?" Chloe asked in shock. Her whole body froze. It felt like there was no air in her, she couldn't breath.

"She was found, but she's not coming back," Dr. Mitchell said, as he broke down crying. All the members and Jesse had tears running down their face, all except Chloe.

"N-no, you're lying. She's alive. This is just a joke. Just a sick joke," Chloe mumbled, not believing the truth. She tried to leave, but Aubrey wouldn't let her go. "Let me go! I need to see her, I need to tell her that I love her!" Chloe started to cry, but she didn't stop resisting.

"Chloe stop, please, stop. This isn't going to bring her back," Aubrey tried to reason with her.

"Bring her back? She's still alive, this is a dream, yeah, I'll wake up, and this will all just be a dream," she responded, her body shaking.

All the Bellas' hearts broke as they watched one of their captains fall apart. They couldn't believe the badass wouldn't return.

"Chloe, please," Aubrey begged, on the verge of breaking down. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Dr. Mitchell then told them everything. Blake and Beca were fighting for the gun. It went off and shot Blake. They continued to fight, when Beca pushed the gun away from them. Blake then got a knife and stabbed Beca, three times. When the police found them, Beca had taken her last breath a minute before. They had done everything they could, but they couldn't bring her back.

"And Blake? What happened to him? Is he dead too?" Chloe asked, her voice too calm. She had broken down half way through the story, finally accepting the truth.

"No, he survived. He's going to prison for kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder," he answered, feeling pure hate to the man.

"T-tortured?" Stacie asked, her eyes wide with surprise. She expected rape, but not for the man to inflict so much pain.

"They found a self-made electric chair, and they noticed that it had been used," he responded, triggering a new wave of tears.

"He doesn't deserve to live. He should rot in hell for what he did," Jesse snarled, glaring at the floor.

^A few weeks later^

Chloe was looking through Beca's mixes, her most recent ones. She found one named Chloe's Mix 3. She clicked on it and found out that Beca had only mix songs Chloe loved, Titanium being one of them, the main one. Beca's voice appeared, speaking to her.

"If you're listening to this Chloe, it means I've finally grew balls and told you now I feel. And you make me happy. Hopefully, we can have the rest of our lives together. I love you Chloe, I really do."

Chloe froze. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. She couldn't believe she heard what she always wanted, but could not enjoy it. She put the song and the message on repeat, and cried as she heard it.

Aubrey entered their apartment and heard Beca's voice. Frowning, she walked towards Chloe's room and found her crying as she listened to the song again. Aubrey took her in her arms and let her cry.

Aubrey listened to the amazing song. Tears appeared, as she regretted the way she treated the late-DJ. She now saw that Beca did have amazing ideas.

The blond hugged her best friend tighter. They were going to get through it together. They were going to help each other, and not let Beca's memory go to vain. They were going to use her mixes in their competitions. They were going to honor her memory. And help each other move on.
