Thanks everyone for the reviews, favs, and follows. The idea is different I know but it came about from teasing my son about going on strike when he wasn't doing his chores. I thought about how Chloe is like the house mother to the Bellas and could see her finally getting fed up. Hope you continue to enjoy the story.

It was Monday and Beca hasn't heard from Chloe since she last saw her on Saturday. Beca knows that she needs to do something but doesn't know what to do. The Bella House is still in chaos as arguments occur every minute over the chores. Beca has had enough. She calls all the Bellas into the living room for an Emergency Bellas Meeting.

The girls are all sitting around staring at Beca who is just pacing back and forth. "So, what's the emergency, Captain?," CR finally asks.

"We need to put our heads together and come up with a 'Bring Chloe back to the Bellas' plan," said Beca.

"All you have to do is text or tell her 6 words and I guarantee she'll be back here in a flash," Stacie says.

"What?," Beca asks. "I'm sorry I was a dick?"

"No," says Stacie. "The 6 words would be 'I love you, Chloe. Come back!."

Beca stops and glares at Stacie. The other Bellas are all nodding and saying that would do it.

Beca scoffs, "I do not love Chloe. Could you all please stop saying that. She is my best friend and that's all."

Stacie and CR laugh at her. "Who are trying to convince of that, Beca?," Stacie asks.

"Come on you guys," Beca whines. "She's my best friend and doesn't feel that way about me so I can't feel that way about her. I will admit that I do have some feelings for her but it's just a crush because she's so great."

"Well, that's progress," CR whispers to Stacie.

"Now we just need to push her a little harder," Stacie whispers back.

Denise looks at Beca and asks her, "What are you so afraid of, Beca? Chloe is the sweetest person in the world and if you told her you loved her and she didn't feel the same way, she wouldn't hold it against you. She'd still figure out a way for you guys to be friends. So, isn't it worth the risk to tell her how you feel? We all believe that she has feelings for you, too. We've all seen it. Why can't you?"

Everyone looked at Denise. She hit that one out of the park. Beca just stared at Denise dumbfounded. "Oh my, God!," she thought. "Denise is right. Or maybe not. I don't know if I could handle Chloe not sharing my feelings. It would be so much worse than not knowing at all. But, then again, I'd rather have her in my life always then risk losing her all together."

"No," said Beca to Denise. "It's not worth the risk."

"Dammit," said Stacie.

"I thought we had her," said CR.

"Beca, don't take this the wrong way, but you are the stupidest person on the planet," says Fat Amy. "We've all been watching you two dance around each other for 4 years now. We can all see that you two love each other and belong together. You know what, I'm done. I think that maybe it's a good thing Chloe isn't here. The tension between you two is a constant reminder to all of us how stupid you are. Chloe quit because she felt like we didn't treat her with respect. But she only quit after you, Beca, didn't stand up with or for her. After you didn't listen to her when she was talking about the way she was being treated. She didn't quit US, she quit YOU!," Fat Amy says angrily.

The girls were all stunned. Amy is usually the one who is cracking jokes to bring down the anger. They have never really seen her get this angry, especially at Beca.

"I think what Amy means is," Stacie says, "that-"

"Amy means exactly what Amy said!," Amy says interrupting Stacie.

Aubrey and Chloe are enjoying a nice quiet lunch back at the Lodge. Chloe deep in thought as to how she can get the Bellas to stop treating her like their personal maid, but also on how to tell Beca how she feels about her without having Beca run away.

"What are you thinking about, Chlo?," Aubrey asks.

"Just about the Bellas and Beca," Chloe responds. "You know it hurts that the Bellas take me for granted, but the fact that Beca didn't seem to think there was a problem, hurts more."

"I've asked you this before," says Aubrey, "and I'll ask it again. What are you going to do about it?"

"You said you might have some ideas," says Chloe. "Let's hear them."

Aubrey smiles and they spend the next 2 hours discussing different plans.

"Do you think this will work?," Chloe asks.

"Only one way to find out," say Aubrey. "We need to get the Bellas involved, but I think this plan will be the one that finally gets Beca to sack up and tell you her true feelings."

"I just hope you guys are right about Beca's feelings for me," Chloe says. "I don't want to lose her and I'm afraid she'll run if things get too intense."

"Don't worry," says Aubrey. "We'll make sure she doesn't run."

Beca never responded to Amy's tirade. She just glared at everyone and went up to her room. Amy followed.

"Could you not be here right now," Beca says to Amy as she comes into the room.

"This is my room, too," says Amy.

Beca thinks about going somewhere else but there really isn't anywhere else for her to go. She sits on her bed, glaring at Amy. Amy glares back.

"You got something to say, say it," Amy tells Beca.

"I can't believe that you would be glad Chloe is no longer in the Bellas," Beca says.

"I didn't say that! I said that maybe it was good thing Chloe wasn't here," says Amy. "Especially given the way you've been acting these past couple of days."

"What's that supposed to mean?," Beca asks.

"You've been acting like we, as in the collective group, can get Chloe to come back," replies Amy. "We all know that she's waiting for you to say something to get her to come back. You are the only one who needs to do or say something. None of the rest of us can do it. Only you can."

Amy left Beca to think about what she said.
