Chloe was trying to think of songs, watching videos of the other competitors, but that was stressing her out. The Bellas had already eaten dinner and now they were all in their pj's in the living room watching TV, talking or just hanging out. Well, all except for Beca. And that was starting to annoy them.
Fat Amy suddenly came up with an idea and she grabbed the pillow beside her, hitting Emily with it.
"Hey!" Emily said, grabbing another pillow and hitting the blonde back, accidentally hitting Stacie with it.
"Ow!" Stacie said, grabbing a pillow herself and hitting Emily.
The others all smiled and quickly joined them in the pillow fight. Chloe smiled and giggled as she was hit by many pillows and feathers came out of them.
They were jumping on the couches and having a blast when Beca came in the house. She looked at the Bellas with a confused look.
"What am I looking at?" She asked.
"Pillow fighting!" Amy said, hitting her with a pillow.
"Ah!" Beca complained.
"This is the only cardio I will ever do!" Fat Amy said.
"You know this sets women back like thirty years." Beca said.
"We're just relieving some stress." Chloe said, panting with a smile.
"This was on the porch." Beca said, holding a fancy looking envelope.
The Bellas stopped what they were doing and Chloe grabbed the envelope from Beca's hand.
"What's this?" She asked. "Ooh! It looks fancy!"
Chloe said, still panting. She opened the envelope and a chorus came on. Her eyes widened slightly and she closed it, looking at Beca, who looked, though her eyes were bloodshot, surprised.
Chloe opened and closed the envelope a few more times before she finally actually opened it.
"It looks like we've been invited to sing at some kind of a party!" She said.
"We're going to sing? Finally!" Emily said.
"There's just an address and a password." Chloe said.
"How sexy and mysterious!" Fat Amy said.
Lily mumbled something about having other people's teeth and then smiled creepily. The girls ignored her and all went upstairs to their room to get ready, except for Beca, who was already ready.
The girls all got ready and headed to the address they were given. They were a little scared about not knowing what this was and who was attending.
"Anybody else scared?" Chloe asked as they walked up to the porch of the house.
"Not really. I already lived longer than I expected." Flo said, making all the other girls way more scared. She was a cross between Fat Amy and Lily.
Beca knocked on the door and waited. A small window opened and a necklace showed up.
"Password." the guy demanded.
"Umm fart noise?" she said as the other girls held back giggles.
"Did you not see the parenthesis?" he asked.
Beca rolled her eyes as she brought her arm to her mouth and did a fart noise. The guy closed the window and opened the door.
"Barden Bellas! So glad you all came! Come on in!"
After the guy explained a little bit of what they were doing there but they were still confused. He took them down to what was the basement that was filled with people, mainly groups of a cappella.
After an unsuccessful banter with DSM, Chloe dragged Beca away from them and to where the Bellas were.
Beca was explaining herself when Jesse showed up behind her.
"Hey!" he said.
"Hey!" she said, surprised. "What are you doing here? What's going on?"
Jesse heard the Trebles calling him and he turned around.
"Well I guess I have to go."
"What? Why? What's going on?" she asked.
"I don't know." he said before going over to the Trebles.
He noticed she was agitated so he just shrugged and walked away. Something about her red eyes was bothering him. This was just not right.
They found out they were in some sort of riff off, which was really exciting! This was a bit different though.
Jesse just watched his girlfriend and couldn't help but feel some sort of jealousy and inquietude inside him. The girl was glued to Chloe's side and from the looks of it she was having so much fun. He had always been jealous of Chloe. She could get his girlfriend to open up to her like he never did in the 3 years they'd been together.
He just hated that Beca had been absent in the last few days, wasn't answering his calls or responding to his texts. He was sure she had been smoking weed, but didn't know with who, why or when. But his problem was mostly Chloe. How the redhead seemed to have Beca wrapped around her finger.
He didn't know what song Benji was singing about butts, maybe it was Sir Mix-A-Lot's song but he just cut Benji off when he saw Beca constantly glancing at Chloe.
"Where is my girlfriend, I've been calling she ain't picked up
Something's fishy, she won't hear me
Now I'm standing here like what the?"
Surprisingly, the Trebles backed him up but nobody stopped them. Benji was just looking at Jesse as if he was asking 'what are you doing?'.
"This is too unusual, she never did it like this before
She usually calls me back within the hour
I bet she's out with what's her name?
The girl that doesn't have a man
Assumptions in my mind got me confused, girl"
Jesse glanced at Beca with angry looks, glancing sometimes at Chloe, smirking as the ginger's cheeks turned as red as her hair.
"Sometimes she can't get her pretty hands off me
But when she's with her girlfriend she don't even speak
She can spot a pretty girl faster than I can
Tells me that she loves me but I'm tryna' understand"
Beca felt anger boiling inside her, as well as all pairs of eyes between her and Chloe, who was trying her best to hide.
"I think my girl is bi ay ay ay ay ay ay"
Before Jesse could continue though, the host stopped him.
"Okay, okay, okay. Jesse, what the living hell was that?" He asked. "You guys had it going!"
Jesse didn't answer, he just looked back at Beca, who looked about ready to explode.
"Trebles, you're out." He said.
Jesse didn't hear the guys complaining. He had about it with his fights and angry sex with Beca, as great as the later was.
Beca ran up to him and soon everybody got quiet.
"What the fuck was that?!" She demanded.
Jesse shrugged.
"This song kinda spoke to me." He said simply.
"Jesse you just accused me of cheating on you with Chloe! What the fuck is wrong with you?" Beca asked.
"Beca you spend all the time with her! These last couple weeks you disappeared completely and didn't even text or call me, what am I supposed to think?" He said.
"You're supposed to understand that I need time for myself, like everyone else does!" Beca said.
"Beca do you think I haven't noticed you wear sort of masculine clothes sometimes, you talk like a guy and sometimes act like a guy?!" Jesse yelled. "It wouldn't be wrong to assume you're not straight. Sometimes you're more of a guy than I am!"
"Well it's not my fault my balls are bigger than yours!" Beca yelled and the crowd gasped.
Jesse was red with anger. He could explode if he was a bomb.
"Dude, I'm not cheating on you, okay?! Could you just leave me alone!" Beca said.
"I can't keep dating you like this, Beca! I know you're trying to be something you're not!" Jesse said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Beca frowned.
"I know you can't be straight." Jesse said.
"Who are you to tell me what I am or what I'm not?!" Beca yelled.
"I'm just the guy who's dated you the last 3 fucking years, Beca! That's who I am." He said.
"I'm done with you, Jesse. Done." Beca said, walking back to the Bellas.
Jesse was fuming. He didn't know what to do, he wanted to be with Beca but he didn't want at the same time.
"Okay, everyone! Show's over!" The host said. "Trebles, you should probably leave."
Beca was taking deep breaths, clenching her fists. No one in the Bellas said anything, waiting for the DJ to talk first. When she didn't say anything, they just remained quiet.
oO0Oo
Chloe was up all night watching videos and looking for arrangements the Bellas could sing in their next gig that would make a good choreography.
She was stressed but what was worse was she kept thinking about the tiny DJ. She said she'd be back late but it was almost 5 in the morning and she wasn't home.
As if Beca heard her thoughts, she stumbled through the door, giggling. She was clearly drunk but she smelled like something else. She smelled like weed and some sort of drug.
"Beca? Where the hell have you been?" Chloe asked.
"I was at the party." Beca said. She tried to take a step forward but she stumbled on her heels and fell to the ground. "Whoa! I just had sex with a bunch of guys."
Chloe crossed her arms at Beca's immature behavior.
"Jesse thinks I'm bi, I'll show him!" Beca said, kneeling before grabbing her stomach.
"Having sex with a bunch of guys doesn't make you straight, Beca." Chloe said.
Beca groaned.
"I need to puke." She said.
Chloe dragged her to the bathroom and held her hair back as the brunette threw up. She sighed.
"Beca, you have to take care of yourself." Chloe said. "You can have the inner battle you want, but you have to take care of yourself, this isn't healthy."
Beca threw up some more in response.
"Why people can't leave me alone?" She whined, sitting down on the bathroom floor.
"I will leave you alone, you can do whatever you want but I'm just saying what you're doing is dangerous, Beca." Chloe said.
Beca groaned and threw her head back, before lying down on the floor with a soft hum.
"I'm gonna sleep." She announced.
"Here? Don't you wanna go to bed?" Chloe asked softly.
"Damn it, Chloe! Just leave me the fuck alone!" Beca screamed, getting up and pushing Chloe out of the bathroom. "Get out of here! Leave me alone!"
Chloe was shocked when Beca slammed the door shut, the house shuddering a bit when she did. She just stood where she was a few seconds before she slowly grabbed her laptop and went to bed. Where she finally broke down in tears.
