I opened my eyes and heard another gunshot and watched as the man fell to the ground. I looked to the left behind me and saw Chloe holding her gun shaking. "Beca," she motioned to the right of me. I looked to my right and saw Luisa on the ground with a bullet wound in the middle of her chest.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" I knelt down beside her. "What the hell did you do?" I screamed at her. "You were not suppose to die!"

"Well from my….point of view maus… neither were you."

She was bleeding badly. I tried to use my jacket to stop it but that just made her hiss and swear in german. "We have to get you to the hospital."

"Look," Lilly suddenly said louder than usual. She pointed to the far side of the room. We didn't notice it before but there was a huge bomb with a timer on it. The timer said 5 minutes but it wasn't counting down at the moment.

"At least it's not active," Chloe sighed with relief.

Then it beeped and started counting down.

"I knew I shouldn't have said that," she whispered to herself.

"Whoever that guy was must have activated it somehow after we shot him," Flo ran over to the bomb. "I don't know how to stop it, we need to get out of here!"

Luisa looked at me. "Go."

"No!" I cried. "I am not leaving you. I didn't come all this way to let you die!"

"I will not...make it," she breathed. "Please go."

I shook my head. Luisa looked at Pieter who was apparently crying which I never thought I would see. She looked him in the eye. "Egal was passiert, sie lebt," He nodded. She looked back at me. "I….love you…..kleine maus. I…..will...always...love….."

I watched as her chest rose one last time before it fell and she froze in place. Her blue eyes turned away from me and looked up at the ceiling and then they froze. I started crying. And sobbing. I squeezed her hand so tightly and waited, hoping that this was all dream and I was just about to wake up and she would be okay. I cupped her face in my hands and cried, letting my tears fall on her face. I knew nothing I did would work, but all I felt like doing was laying on her chest and waiting there with her until the base blew up so I could die in the same place. I reached my hand up on her forehead and used my fingers to close her eyes after looking at them one last time. They were so blue. Just like the ocean. The color was still there even though they were frozen in place.

Pieter grabbed my arm. "I promised her that I would get you out of here. Please fulfill her last wish. She wouldn't want you to die."

I nodded but I still didn't move. "We don't have much time left," Chloe said. "We need to go."

I nodded again but still didn't move. She had died for me. She let herself be tortured for me. She would have died for me a thousand times more if she had that many lives. And the worst part is, I still didn't tell her that I loved her too. But all I could do was to bend over and give her the softest kiss her on her perfect lips just like I had always wanted to do. When I pulled away I expected her to wake up just like what happens in fairy tales but she remained as frozen as my heart. My tears fell on her face and I whispered, "I love you," before getting up and walked away with Chloe's arm over me, crying into her shoulder, not looking back.

"I love you too."

I stopped. We all stopped. I think time stopped.

I turned around and my eyes lit up at the sight of her slowly getting up off the ground. At first I thought I was hallucinating but her eyes were too blue to be fake. Her chest was no longer bleeding. Her cuts were no longer on her arms or legs. It was like her body had healed itself in the five seconds that I took my eyes off her.

"Luisa?"

"Kleine maus."

"It's you?"

"Ja, it's me."

I hesitated for a moment before letting the tears run down my face and then running up to her and engulfing her in the largest hug I had ever gave out. Cinnamon, mint, her hands were so soft. It was really her. After what seemed like forever we pulled back. "I love you," I said with tears in my eyes.

"And I love you, my tiny mouse." I smiled once more and standing as high as my feet would go I kissed her on her lips and instead of dead and frozen I tasted warmth and life. I couldn't believe she was here. It didn't even make sense. I wasn't going to argue thought because she was okay. We were all okay.

"I hate to break up this touching and kind of explainable moment considering you are somehow alive," Chloe pulled us apart. "But that bomb is gonna blow up in four minutes."

Oh right that. I forgot about that.

We ran faster then we have ever run. Flo still had a model of the building on her IPhone so she lead us through the twists and turns of the underground building. When we were close to the top, the ground started shaking. It was like we were in an earthquake and bits of the roof kept falling in our path so we had to keep finding a different way. We were almost there when I heard crying and screaming behind me and stopped. I saw a man from DSM pulling a girl who was screaming through the tunnel. She was trying to run back.

"We can't just leave her!" she screamed.

"It's too late," he said. I helped the man pull his friend to the end and pushed her up the stairs. I looked confused. The man looked at me and said, "Alexis was her friend," and then ran.

She must have been buried by the building. That is now three that died to help us. Three more than what it was suppose to be.

I was holding hands with Luisa and multiple times she squeezed it until it turned white. We flew out of the door and ran away from area as fast as possible. The minute we all got out, we heard a loud boom and the ground started to collapse beneath us. We ran as far away as possible. After running for what it seemed like our whole lives the ground stopped shaking and it stopped collapsing. But we still ran. We still felt like something was chasing us. I still felt like we were gonna die. Only until we had gotten in the plane and taken off did Luisa faint in my arms. I carried her all the way home.

Pieter helped me carry Luisa to her hotel room and carefully lay her on her bed. I started to head out but he stopped me.

"Stay here with her."

I looked at him blankly. "Why can't you?"

"She has been through a lot. It's most likely she will want to wake up to your face rather than mine." And then he walked out the door.

"Maus?"

I turned around and saw her slowly getting out of bed.

"No you need to rest," I walked over and slowly pushed her back down and pulled the covers over her.

"It's hard to rest after you were almost tortured to death."

I looked at her face and saw that she was crying.

"Are you okay?" I sat down on the bed beside her. All of a sudden she burst into tears.

"I'm scared Beca, I'm scared alright!" She cried through her tears. "I'm scared he's gonna come back and hurt me again. I'm scared he's gonna hurt you."

"Luisa it's okay, he's dead," I promised her. "He can't hurt you."

"I know, but I'm scared anyway," she whispered.

I sighed. I never thought that the leader of DSM would be that scared of something. But then again this was Luisa not Kommissar.

"Ok scoot over," I said and motioned for her to move. She moved to the other end of the bed and I was almost tempted to climb under the covers with her but I needed to be sitting up to do this. I sat cross legged on the bed and turned off the light on the side table. She was laying on her side looking up at me as I held her hand tightly.

"I am going to sing you a song that I wrote about you."

"Really?" She smiled. "You wrote a song about me?"

"Yes, I wrote it the day after I first met you at the car show in Atlanta. And for some reason the lyrics kind of match what we just went through. I guess I always knew deep down that I loved you even though I didn't want to admit it at first."

"I love you too."

I smiled and took a deep breath and started singing softly.

You're not abandoned
There's always someone waiting
With open hands who'll
Reach out and stop you fading
Into the darkness
I hope you know it's me

You've been hurt before and hurt again
And you're wondering will it ever end
Cause no matter what you say or do
It's so hard to find the truth
One thing I can promise you

I promise you're safe with me
You're not alone
You're safe with me
Your heart is home
Now and forever
I'll be your shelter
I'm gonna help you to believe
You'll always be safe with me
Now that I found you
You will see
My love surround you
Soft as a rainbow
I'll be your halo
You'll always be safe with me

I sang the rest of the song and watched as Luisa slowly drifted off to sleep. I sang the last note and by then her blue eyes were shut and her chest was slowly moving up and down with the tiniest smile on her face. I smiled back. For a while I just sat there watching her sleep. I brushed a few strands of hair out of her face before slowly climbing under the covers with her still holding her hand. I kissed her on the forehead and whispered, "I love you," before laying my head down and closing my eyes. But soon after I felt Luisa pulling my body toward hers and I fell asleep with her arms around me and our foreheads were pressed together.

One year later

Ashley died saving Jessica. Frances died because she was frozen in fear. Alexis died because a stupid building decided to fall on top of her.

But I still remembered these sacrifices as I walked down the aisle on my wedding day.

It took place where the riff off was held except everyone had completely gone all out and decorated every single spot on the old brick walls until it looked like and underground mansion. Only the Bellas and Das Sound Machine had been invited. We didn't even want our parents there. Luisa stood at the front waiting for me. I walked through the doorway and met Jesse who was giving me away.

After we had rescued Luisa I told him everything. He was very understanding though. He said all he'd ever wanted was for me to be happy. We remained good friends and helped through a lot of things since then. He had taken a new place in my life, not as my boyfriend but as my family. I thought he would be offended or something when I had asked him to give me away, but he had been honored.

We had decided that I and the rest of the Bellas would wear white while Luisa and DSM would wear black. Her and my dresses were the exact same except for color. They were short and the top half had mesh over it kind of like DSM's outfit. As we reached the end of the aisle, Jesse gave me a small kiss on the cheek before handing my hand to Luisa's. She was actually wearing the same heels that she wore to the riff off but luckily I had chosen the tallest heels I could find too. As we took our places the wedding person started saying stuff but I honestly didn't hear a thing until the very end.

"Beca," Luisa began. "When I first met you, you looked like a tiny mouse and that nickname has not changed for you since then. You couldn't stop complimenting me when trying to insult me, and I think that's when I first started loving you. I can honestly stand here and say that has not changed either. You have always been there for me since the moment you rescued me from the base last year. You risked your own life to come and see if I was still alive and your friends did too so I thank you all. When I took that bullet for you, it was because I loved you. And when you somehow brought me back to life, it was because you love me. I still don't know how you were able to bring me back, but I am so glad you did. Because if you didn't, I wouldn't get to spend the rest of my life with you, my tiny mouse. And I promise I will. I love you."

Tears started to fall on both our faces but I did my best to hold mine back because I still had to say stuff.

"Luisa. When I first met you, you called me an elf, a troll and insulted my height when all I did was compliment you. You were always Kommissar around me and that was the person that I originally fell in love with. I can say now that I love Luisa just as much, but Kommissar was all I knew. When we were competing in the worlds, I kept trying to think of you as an enemy but all I could think about was how pretty you looked and how I always got lost in your eyes. I remember my fellow Bellas teasing me about you and always calling me tiny mouse and even wagering money on whether or not we would fall in love. And we did. That night you got taken, was when it became real for me. The whole time, I always believed that you were alive. But the biggest question I had that day, was what if she was dead? But then I realized that I would rather have died than live without you so the risk was worth taking. And in doing so, I found the person that I loved. And I promise I will always love you."

Chloe and Pieter handed us our rings. They were both silver with tiny sapphires on it except mine were a darker blue. We put them on and the wedding person pronounced us wives. And finally, I got to kiss her. I had been waiting for that kiss since she appeared at the car show in Atlanta. And honestly, it was worth the wait.

- The song that Beca sings is "Safe With Me," by Megan Nicole. The lyrics belong to her not me.

- I didn't know the names of the DSM members so I just used the names of the people who played them in the movie. Except for Pieter and Kommissar.

Translations-

Egal was passiert, sie lebt- No matter what happens, she lives

(Again I'm sorry if the translation or anything is wrong.)

This is the end of the story. Thank you so much for all of the support, I really liked writing it! I will probably write a sequel to this story and maybe even more if I have the time and imagination. :)
