[Beca's POV]

Aubrey pulled a small box from her pocket and handed it to me. "When we were in the ambulance she gave this to me and asked me to look after it."
I took it from her and opened it up, my hands shaking. It was beautiful. A huge a diamond sat in the middle with smaller ones either side. The girls gathered around me looking at it with as much shock as I did.
"It's amazing," I whispered. "Thanks Chlo," I squeezed her hand and I swear just for a second she squeezed back.
"Hey guys," Cynthia-Rose said quietly, the rest of the girls following.
I sat there holding the little blue box in one hand and the only girl I have truly loved in the other.
"How you holding up?" Ashley asked.
"I'll be fine, as long as Chloe is okay, I will be too," Ashley nodded at me and then looked over at Chloe.
I picked up the next letter and started reading.

"August fourth two-thousand-and-eleven.
After a few weeks I had started to think I'd never see you again. But I had to see you, I needed to so I decided I would audition for your group. The Barden Bellas.
The day had come, I was going to audition today. I woke up and ooked at my reflection in the mirror, why was I doing this? Barden Bellas, this wasn't me but you were and I needed an excuse to see you. I kept trying to talk myself out of it but I knew I had to do this.
I was late to the audition and I thought my chance was over. Then you saw me, and called me in. I shivered inside then realised that I wasn't ready. I hadn't prepared myslef for today.
I spoke aloud about my problem but you said I could do whatever I wanted so I did my cup trick. That minute or so that I was alone singing with only a tapping cup as support was the scariest minute of my life.
When I finished I looked up to see you grinning at me, that smile that I had seen in the shower, that smile that I had missed!

I didn't realise the whole room was silent until I stopped reading, the only thing I heard was the soft beeping of Chloe's machine.
"I miss you," I whispered, kissing her hand.

And then the line on her machine ran flat.

For the next few minutes it felt like the world slowed down. Doctors rushed in and worked on her, one of them tried to push us all out but we all refused. We knew it would take everything to keep Chloe alive. So we stayed. My eyes stayed on the monitor, praying for it to start beeping instead of the constant noise that none of us could escape.
"Chloe, please, wake up, I love you, please wake up," I whispered over and over.
"Call it," one of the doctors said.
"No, wait, please, let me, let me try something," I pleaded.
"No, ma'am, there's nothing more you can do," the doctor said.
"Yeah well watch this." I pushed past him and ran to Chloe.
"Hey you, remember the time when we were late for your flight to Australia and I said we should just get the next one, but you never gave up and we got on, now I'm not giving up, okay, do you listen to me Chloe, I am not giving up, and neither are you!" I urged. I closed my eyes and gripped onto her hand. I felt the whole room holding in their breath. Then I heard a faint beeping and the whole room exhale.
I watched the doctors leave and eight people bundle me into a hug.
"How did you know, how?... how?" Aubrey asked bewildered.
"I didn't," I admitted, yawning.
"You should sleep," Stacie told me.
"No, I can't, what if she needs me," I replied.
"If anything happens we'll wake you," she assured. I nodded and sat back down next to Chloe and rested my head next to hers, still clasping onto her hands, letting the world around me fade away.
