It was the following Monday when you decided to come to practice, and of course you were late...by like 3 minutes, what a record! As you walked in, your stature remained slumped with your head down. You didn't even acknowledge anyone as you came in and sat down, when you came in, it was completely silent until you heard a sneer...and oh of course you knew who that came from. The rest of the girls were shocked to see you came out of the blue, so many questions they wanted to ask, but they didn't when they saw your behavior. And out of all people, Chloe believed that you were faking it. So you remained that way, not talking, not looking at anyone.
You remained that way through the week and no one ever got to ask you what was wrong because you always arrived late and bolted immediately when practice was done. It was on a Wednesday when you all were practicing choreography and you weren't getting it. So Aubrey asked Chloe..like seriously, of all people to help you. She responded in a curt manner "Yeah, I think she has it." Aubrey wasn't taking any of her shit, so she gave her a "Move your ass" kind of look.
Huffing, Chloe walks over to you, you still aren't talking, or looking at anyone, so when she grabs your hands it kind of startles you. As she's directing you through the steps you aren't pushing her away, or anything like that, and she's kind of surprised. She used love to see you get flustered so she would do certain things on purpose and would always get a reaction from you, but this time when she tried it, you didn't respond.
Your icy gaze remained on the floor and she let go of your hands, watching you with an inquisitive look on her face. As you look up she notices your eyes have changed to a sparkling light blue and she's frozen in place. She swallows thickly at the beauty at your eyes which display sadness, but she doesn't want to admit how gorgeous they look so she walks off.
She internally scolds herself for fawning over your beauty when she's supposed to be angry at you. Not having you talk to her, or be in her life has been a real struggle, and she may be feeling guilty for completely biting your head off...who knows?
It's Thursday around 9:30PM when you're coming back from your shift at the station, you have a big smile on your face as you remember you'll be leaving tomorrow right after Bellas practice. You miss your mom a lot and can't wait to see her. You're walking on a concrete path...which happens to be the same one that Aubrey and Chloe are walking on but you don't notice because they're a couple feet behind you. They were chatting before but when they see you they stop talking, and stare, still remaining to keep their distance.
As you keep on walking you hear your ringtone and see that it's an unknown number, your eyebrows furrow in confusion but you answer it anyway.
"Beca..."
The mossy green is starting to return into your eyes, it's your father. Your tone is cold as you answer him with a simple "what?"
What he responded with made you want to reach through the phone and literally tear his eyes out
"When I get out of jail, I'll be going after your mom...so uhm, aha, better watch out."
You respond, your tone so deathly and cold.. "You won't be getting out ANY FUCKING TIME SOON." By now you're yelling "I'LL MAKE SURE OF IT, YOU HEAR ME? I HATE YOU- YOU RUINED ME AND MOMS LIFE!" By now you're screeching "IF YOU EVER COME CLOSE TO HER I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! A CHAIR WON'T BE THE ONLY THING SMASHING THROUGH YOUR HEAD THE NEXT TIME YOU BRING YOUR RAGGEDY ASS, YOU HEAR ME? YOU'RE A DEAD BEAT, YOU'RE THE WORST EXCUSE FOR A FATHER." But then your voice comes to a whisper.
"You're dead to me."
And with that you hang the phone up. As you stand there, you still haven't noticed the extremely shocked Aubrey and Chloe standing there, their eyes are wide, hands shaking and mouths agape. You're so closed off and emotionally detached that they had no idea that you could become so angry. Chloe had seen you angry, but not this angry, and frankly she was scared...scared that you'd do that to her, if she pushed you any further.
They weren't expecting you to throw your phone down as hard as you could and sprint away sobbing.
It was Friday, the day you'd be leaving and you were supposed to be happy, but you weren't. You continued to look down and not talk to anyone but it was different this time. Instead of your sad blank stare it was replaced with a stone cold angry one. Chloe and Aubrey exchanged worried glances at each other and when it was time for choreography, Chloe came up and helped you, without Aubrey telling her to and you thought it was weird. As she was helping you, she never broke eye contact...and she was a lot gentler. But you remained the same, not talking, or looking at anyone.
It was at the end of practice when you walked up on stage and asked everyone to sit back down. They all looked at you with shock, but they did follow instructions immediately.
It was hard for you but you were going to tell them the truth. No backing down this time.
You took a deep breath "Ah, I'm sorry I haven't been acting myself lately...or the fact that I ditched out on you guys for like 2 weeks." *Silence* The reason why i'm up here is because I told Aubrey to keep quiet about why I really left...She lied about me being fine at my aunts, or about me updating or texting her. Cause in reality I didn't talk to anyone...I left for New York, to go to my Grandmas funeral. You see, she died on the night that we celebrated my birthday...I -I didn't want a-anyone to see me hurt...so I left, I didn't want you guys to take pity on me...So, I figured, I needed to be strong and tell you all this before anything else became a mess..." You take a deep breath and walk off leaving them opened mouth and shocked. And guess who was the most shocked of all? Yeah, you got it right. Chloe.
Chloe felt...Oh God, there's no words to explain how she feels. Cause it's sure of a hell a lot more than guilty, sorry, remorseful...all that shit put together. She was a bitch towards you and she was desperate to be back in your life again. She bitched you out cause she was what?
She was Jealous
And now she feels like probably the worst human scum on the planet because she let her emotions take control rather than her brain. And now she can't run after you cause you high tailed it out of there before anyone could even take another breath.
Fucked up is not what Chloe did, it was 10000 times worse than that.
