Chapter 9: All Over Again

It had been two weeks since Beca and Chloe last saw each other after the Lakers game, and Beca would have reached out to her if she hadn't been so busy. Ariana Grande's album was going to be released within the next week, and Beca was scrambling to put the finishing touches on every song and make each song perfect in its own unique way. Beca barely had any time to sleep or spend any time with Macy, which was straining their relationship, but Beca had promised that once Ariana's album dropped, she would take a few days off of work so they could go on a little vacation.

It was yet another hectic day for Beca, as her boss was visiting from the Atlanta branch of Residual Heat. Beca knew that her boss would be impressed by her work, but that still made her nervous. Beca spent the entire morning trying to organize all the meetings she had scheduled for that day and set aside time to speak with her boss and show him the progress she had made ever since her promotion to assistant producer.

Chloe had been settling into her new job and was really enjoying it. Her new bosses adored her and thought she was very talented. In fact, she had done so well already that they had signed Chloe and the main choir up to audition for Ariana Grande's new album so they could sing back up. It was a huge opportunity for Chloe and her choirs to make strides towards becoming the best choir in the state of California. Nothing seemed to be standing in Chloe's way, and she wasn't truly worried about the fact that Ariana was recording her new album with the help of Beca. This was just for fun and it was also practice for the regional competition.

Beca had gotten out of her second meeting for the day when Ariana approached her. "When are we going to be holding the auditions?" She asked.

Beca frowned in confusion. "What auditions?"

"You know, the auditions for the backup choir for my album."

Beca raised her eyebrows in surprise. "We're holding auditions for that? I already found some backup singers that I thought we agreed on," she replied.

"Yeah, but I saw a video of a local choir run by some lady named Chloe Beale, and they're really good. I asked her to come in today to discuss the choir singing backup," Ariana said with an excited smile.

Beca, on the other hand, was having a small heart attack. "Today? You asked her to come in today?" Things were still awkward between the two of them, and she wasn't exactly ready to talk to both her boss and the girl who broke her heart in one day. More like two minutes actually.

"She said that they get off early on Fridays and I told her to bring them in." Ariana stated. "Is that a problem?" She asked kindly. Ariana was a super kind person, but she was confused, Beca was usually super open to new ideas.

Beca nodded. "Y-yeah, that's alright. I'm just super busy today, so I'll just have to find a way to adjust my schedule, but I'll make it work," Beca said, feeling her phone buzz in her pocket. Her boss had texted her, saying that he had arrived. "Wish me luck. The boss is here," Beca said, smiling nervously before going to find her boss. Luckily, Beca's boss finally knew her name and never got it wrong, he would just sometimes call her Reggie as a funny nickname.

As Beca's boss walked inside they greeted each other with a handshake. "Ah hello Beca, how are things with your girlfriend Maddie or Mandolin?" He said.

Beca chuckled. "Actually, her name is Macy, and things are going great. Things have been going great here, too. I'm sorry if I seem a little flustered, I just have less than a week to finish Ariana's album and she's decided to make a last minute change to the backing vocals of the song," Beca explained.

Beca's boss nodded. "Ah, I see. Well, Reggie, I'm confident that you can handle it. You always handle situations like this. I have no doubt in my mind about your skill. Keep up the good work, Reggie, and you'll be due for a raise soon," he said.

Beca smiled. "Thank you so much, sir. I won't let you down," she promised, shaking his hand and then playing some samples of the tracks on Ariana's song before it was time for the meeting she had been both looking forward to and dreading: the meeting with Chloe. Chloe's choir had arrived and the kids were waiting in their biggest room. There were about thirty kids in the choir. Chloe was talking to Ariana, getting the sheet music for her kids to use while they auditioned.

Chloe truly had been doing better, however she was still nervous to see Beca. Because the simple truth was she still loved Beca more than anything and the two of them hadn't talked since that night after the basketball game. So Chloe decided to looked very presentable. She wore a pretty yellow sundress that went down her knees and some gorgeous blue sandals while her medium length and wavy ginger hair fell to her shoulders.

Since she was going to be speaking in front of a large group of kids, Beca straightened up her appearance before she went to the meeting. She was wearing a pair of light jeans and a nice black blazer, which she rolled the sleeves up a little bit to show off a new tattoo she had gotten on her forearm. Beca brushed her hair before she went to the conference room and sat at the far end of the table.

"Alright, everyone. My name is Beca Mitchell, and I am the assistant music producer here at Residual Heat and the producer of Ariana's new album. You all are going to be auditioning, and both Ariana and myself are going to determine which people will be singing backup. If you all amaze both of us, there is a chance that you all might have the opportunity to sing backup, but there is a small chance of that. Do you all have your sheet music?" Thirty heads nodded. "Alright, then let's get this show on the road."

Chloe noticed Beca was nervous and she was a little nervous too, but mostly for her kids. She stood in front of them at her stand and got her sheet music laid in front of her. She nodded at her kids and then at the pianist before she began conducting the choir. All the kids started singing beautifully, and Ariana loved them all so much. Chloe just let herself go in the song and got into it, delivering so much passion into her directing, no wonder her kids loved her so much. Ariana noticed Beca watching only Chloe for majority of the song, but she continued to deeply enjoy the kids talents. Chloe smiled at her kids as they sang, not even noticing the fact that this was audition but rather just a performance for a couple people.

After a few minutes, Beca realized that she had been watching Chloe the entire time, so she instead focused on the kids, hearing each one's voice. Once the song ended, Ariana stood up and clapped, but Beca remained seated and silent, deep in thought. After a few minutes of pondering, Beca finally spoke up. "We'll get back to you when we come to a decision," was all she said before she grabbed her computer and some other things she had brought, leaving the conference room and going into her office. Chloe nodded awkwardly and looked down as Beca left.

Ariana noticed Beca hurry off and then went to Chloe, "You are amazing and so is the rest of your choir, we'll get to asap." She said before going into Beca's office, seeing the girl with her head in her hands. "What was that?" She said.

Beca looked up when she saw Ariana had come into her office. "I-I just can't be around her," she said, looking at the floor. Beca took a deep breath before explaining herself. "Chloe is my ex-girlfriend. She left me a little over two months ago. Before you say it, yes, I have Macy, but it still hurts every time I see Chloe because I'm reminded of what she did to me," Beca said quietly.

Well there's only one reason for that." Ariana said before sitting down in front of Beca's desk. When Beca looked at her confused Ariana answered. "You're still in love with her. Like really in love her."

Beca shook her head. "I am not still in love with her. I've moved on. I have Macy, and I'm happy with her," Beca said.

"Then why is it so hard for you to be around her? The reason it hurts for you to be around her is because you still love her. I've been where you are." Ariana said calmly. "I've denied still having feelings for someone. But the real question here is, did you ever really stop being madly in love with Chloe?" She asked. "Because that's not what it looks like."

"I don't even know if I can be friends with her after what she did to me, let alone be in a relationship with her. I really like Macy, too. Macy was there to pick up the pieces that Chloe left me in. It wouldn't be fair to her," Beca said.

"Has Chloe apologized?" She asked looking into Beca's eyes when the girl nodded. "Yeah, the fact that Chloe left sucks. But if she apologized, then why is it so hard for you to forgive her? I'm not judging you. I'm just curious." She said before shrugging a little. "I mean, after seeing the way she looked at you, it wasn't hard to tell that she still loves you."

"I have forgiven her. I have moved on. I don't understand why everyone doubts that. I may have forgiven her but I'm not going to be nice to her or anything. She doesn't have the right to come back into my life after two months and expect me to want to be in a relationship with her again. Besides, her dad hates me. He told me to stay away from her. That might be what's best for this situation," Beca replied.

Ariana looked down at the floor for a moment, not knowing what to say. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry my way into your personal life. You just seemed a little off today." She said before grabbing her jacket and putting it on. "I'm going to head home for the day. I'll see you tomorrow?" She said.

Beca nodded. "I'll see you tomorrow," she said, finishing up some extra work in her office before she called it a day. Beca was walking out when she saw Chloe had been sitting in the conference room, waiting for her. Beca poked her head into the room. "Why are you still here?" She asked.

"My car needed some work on it and so I'm waiting for Aubrey to pick me up so your boss said I could wait here." Chloe said, putting away some of the papers she'd been grading. She then looked up at Beca and took off the glasses that Beca found really attractive. "Plus, I needed to talk to you."

Beca sat down in one of the chairs across from Chloe. "What did you want to talk about?" She asked, setting her stuff down on the table and giving her full attention to Chloe.

"About the fact that I agreed with Ariana to let my kids audition. I know it wasn't the most comfortable situation for both of us." She said as look turned to look at Beca. "And I can tell that you're not ready to forgive me yet I thought I'd apologize for going behind your back and doing this. That's all." Chloe stated professionally, not wanting to get in argument. After Beca nodded, Chloe stood up and picked her work bag, putting it on her shoulder.

"You know, I can give you a ride home if you want. Aubrey lives in San Diego, right? That's pretty far. It would be faster if I gave you a ride. Of course, you don't have to if you don't want to," Beca said. At first Chloe thought it was a bad idea, but then she thought about the fact that she didn't Aubrey to have to drive all the way up here to get her. So she agreed to let Beca give her a ride home. They walked out to Beca's care and Chloe sat in the passenger's seat, placing her bag on her lap after buckling her seat belt.

Once Beca started the car, the only talking they really did was Chloe giving Beca directions to her apartment building. The last time they were in the car together singing their hearts out on the way home from a movie. Now it felt like they were driving home from someone's funeral.

There was an awkward silence as Beca drove to Chloe's apartment. Beca cleared her throat. "Uh, your choir sounded really good today. I was impressed," she said, attempting to make polite small talk to make the car ride less awkward.

"Thanks," she said blushing softly. "They're really talented kids." Chloe added before she told Beca to turn left and then head straight for a little while. After a little while longer Chloe said, "Macy seems like a really great girl, I can see why you really like her." She said looking down at her hands as she said that.

"You haven't moved on from me," Beca said, turning her head to look at Chloe for a second before her eyes went back to the road. "All this time, you've never mentioned even thinking about seeing someone within the last two months. Why is that?"

"Because different people have different ways of healing." Chloe stated. "Maybe I haven't started dated because I'm not like you, I can't just pick someone and date them, as much I wanted to date you your first year at Barden I couldn't because I was still figuring out where I was at after my last relationship." She said, looking down. 'And because there's no one else I want but you,' she thought to herself. "I'm happy for you, but moving on for me is different than it is for you.

"Chloe, I didn't just pick Macy and start to date her. During the week that I went to the bar every night, she was there for me. She listened to me and she drove me home every night. She was there to pick up the pieces of my heart which you broke. I didn't just pick her for no reason. I chose her because she cares about me," Beca replied. This was exactly the reason Chloe was reluctant to drive in the car.

"It took you seven days, it took you one week. I know I broke your heart, but when I left I spent the next week crying my eyes out in the hotel room I was living in." Chloe stated firmly, still remaining calm. "And it didn't help when I saw you kissing Macy on that magazine cover. I've apologized twice now. You don't even have the nerve to admit that maybe you getting with Macy so quickly after we broke was a dick move. You're so blinded by your own problems that you haven't stepped back and looked at both sides of the picture." She said as Beca pulled up to her apartment building.

"I have never hurt more than these last few months, and I can't apologize enough for leaving you behind. But at least I've admitted that I made mistakes. How long is it going to take you to admit that maybe this isn't all my fault?" She said before grabbing the door handle. Chloe got of the car, not looking back at Beca as she walked into the building with haste, quickly making it up to her apartment and locking the door once she was inside.

Beca sighed and rolled her eyes, driving away from the apartment complex and heading to her apartment. Thirty minutes later, she got home, where Macy was waiting for her. "Hey," Beca said with a small smile, sitting down on the couch. Macy sat next to her, resting her head on Beca's shoulder.

"Where have you been?" She asked, her voice laced with concern.

"It was a long day at work, so I would have been home late anyways. Then, Chloe's car broke down so I gave her a ride home. All she did in the car ride was tell me that what happened to our relationship was my fault too, not just hers. And that might be true, I just hate how she expects me to instantly forgive her and welcome her back into my life with open arms," Beca said, closing her eyes and sighing.

"Maybe she isn't wanting you to forgive her now, maybe she's just tired of feeling like this whole thing was on her. It sucks when you have your heart broken or when you break someone's heart, I get that. Maybe she just wants some weight lifted off her shoulders." Macy said, turning Beca head over and leaning in to give her a kiss. When she pulled away, she said, "Don't stress over it too much okay? Eventually, this whole fiasco will go away."

Beca nodded and smiled, leaning her head against Macy's. "You always manage to take my mind off of things when I'm stressed," she murmured, putting her arms around her and holding her close, just like she did when she was still together with Chloe. Beca immediately pushed the thought of Chloe away, just like she did every time her mind wandered to the redhead, and kissed Macy's neck softly. This made Macy smile gently and then turn to give Beca a deep kiss.

"I just want you to be happy," Macy said. Again, just like Chloe. The kissing became more intense and Macy was pulled up to the bedroom by Beca. "What are you doing?" She asked smiling.

Beca stopped what she was doing and chuckled nervously. "Um, is this not okay? I was kinda getting mixed signals, and I wasn't really sure so I decided to go for it. It's totally cool if that's not what you want," Beca said, looking down at the floor, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment.

"No I'm totally okay with it," Macy said smiling. "I want this." She whispered genuinely before pulling Beca into the bedroom and shutting the door as they got down to business. About fifteen minutes later or so they were cuddling in bed under the covers, naked. What had just happened was amazing. "Wow," she whispered as she kissed Beca's lips gently, catching her breath.

Beca smiled. "Wow indeed," she whispered back, holding Macy close to her under the covers. "Thank you," she whispered in her ear, leaving a few gentle kisses on Macy's shoulder. "You don't know how much I needed that."

"I needed it too," She said smiling before turning her head and kissing Beca's lips. They then fell asleep together and Beca had a dream, Chloe was in it. In fact she was the only one in it besides Beca.

The two of them were alone, and Chloe put her hands on Beca's hips before starting to kiss her neck gently like she always did. The redhead began to take off her own clothes and then took Beca's off as well. "Nobody knows your body better than me." She whispered in Beca's ear, "I love you so much," she said before they began to lay down on the bed, kissing each other deeply and passionately. "Say my name," She muttered as their bodies molded together, grinding perfectly as Chloe nibbled on Beca's ear. "Say it, Beca."

"I can't," Beca mumbled back, pulling away from Chloe. "This is a dream. I can't. I can't do this. This isn't you." Beca tried to push Chloe away, but the redhead was persistent and continued to kiss her neck.

"Come on, Beca. Say my name. You know you want to," she purred in her ear in a seductive tone.

Beca shook her head. "No, I-I can't. I can't do this," she said, continuing to try and fight the redhead's advances.

"Then why am I in your dream? Why isn't Macy in your head?" Beca had to admit that Dream Chloe was a bit dark, but it didn't change the fact that Chloe was the one in Beca's dream, not Macy. It was almost as if Chloe wasn't in control of what she was saying. Because Chloe was always so sweet and kind and wouldn't push anyone to do anything they didn't want to do. Well besides Beca singing in the shower her freshman year.

Chloe's lips moved to Beca's chest, "You like Macy, but you love me. And that's why you can't get me out of your head."

"No, we're done, Chloe. We aren't together. You broke my heart. Why would you want this? I don't want this. I'm scared you're just going to hurt me again like last time," Beca said, closing her eyes and unwillingly letting a soft moan escape from her lips.

Chloe pulled back and looked up at Beca, "Maybe the reason I want this is because you secretly want this. Even if we aren't together, you still have feelings for me. And I'm not saying you would cheat on Macy to be with me. I don't want that. What I want is for you to realize that maybe we're worth another shot." Dream Chloe stated before giving her a sweet kiss. "You can be with Macy, but you know deep down that it's me. It will always be me." Beca's dream then ended.

Beca sat up in bed. She was breathing heavily, and sweat was on her forehead. She sighed and laid back down on the pillows, closing her eyes. She looked over and saw Macy sleeping soundly beside her. Beca rubbed her eyes and laid awake for the rest of the night, unable to fall asleep because her mind was occupied by her dream of Chloe.

Chloe meanwhile was having lunch with Aubrey and Jesse the next day, she told all about the choir hopefully singing backup on Ariana's new album. She also mentioned her interaction with Beca. "She's never going to forgive me," Chloe stated. "I think it's safe to say that I truly screwed this up and I'm almost one hundred and fifty percent sure that Beca hates me. We've gone from 'Forever,' to 'Not even if hell freezes over."

"There's no way that Beca hates you. Sure, she might be upset for a while, but you're Chloe Beale. You know how to get to her heart better than anyone else. If anyone can make her fall in love again, it's you. Just give Beca some time. She needs time to realize that she belongs with you, not Macy," Jesse said, smiling kindly at his friend.

"I agree. Trust me, Macy might be pretty and all, but she has nothing on you. To Beca, nobody compares to you. You are a great person, Chloe. You made Beca fall for you once, I'm sure you can get her to fall for you again," Aubrey told her.

"Honestly, Aubrey, I don't know if I can. She's long past wanting to forgive me for what I did to her and I don't blame her. I broke her heart, plain and simple. Maybe it's best if I just stay out of her life, that's what she wants me to do anyway." Chloe said slouching back against the booth seat as their food got there. Chloe just stared at her food, too depressed at the moment to eat.

Both Jesse and Aubrey noticed this. "Come on, Chloe. You have to eat. You can't starve yourself because of Beca. That is the last thing she would want, that's the last thing your parents would want, and that's the last thing we want," Aubrey said gently, pushing the plate of food towards Chloe. "Just take a few bites."

"I'm not going to starve myself Bree, I could never do that. But right now, the one person I want more than anything in the world hates me. The worst part is that it's all my fault." Chloe said. "Thanks for inviting me to brunch to try and cheer me up, but right now I think I need some time alone, since that's probably how it's going to be for a long time." She said sighing before she stood up and paid for her meal, getting it in a to go box before she went to catch a cab.

Jesse sat there deep in thought for a moment before looking at Aubrey, "I'm going to go talk to Beca after this, she'll listen to me. You should go comfort Chloe, maybe take her to see a funny movie or something." He said. They both agreed and then finished their brunch before splitting to go talk to their best friends. Jesse arrived at Beca's place less than twenty minutes later because he place wasn't far from the restaurant they were at.

Beca was working on a new arrangement for one of Ariana's tracks when someone knocked on her door. She got up and set her laptop down, putting her headphones around her neck and opening the door. She smiled, but also had a puzzled look on her face when she saw Jesse outside her door. "Uh, hey Jesse. Is everything alright?" She asked, gesturing for him to come in.

Jesse quickly walked then turned to Beca as she closed the door. "I need you to tell me exactly what happened the night Chloe told you she was going to Chicago. Because until I hear both sides I'm going to side with Chloe. So please just tell me. And be as civil as you can about it."

Beca was still confused, but she nodded and told her side of the story. "Okay, so I got home from work early and Chloe was sleeping on the couch. She woke up and we were cuddling for a few minutes, and I asked her about her job interviews which is when she got upset. I was trying to comfort her when she asked me if she should have gone to Chicago. I asked her what she thought, and she said that she thought she should have gone. I told her to go to Chicago, and then she packed up her stuff and was gone the next morning. She didn't even say goodbye," Beca said, looking down at the floor as tears threatened to fall from her eyes. Jesse sighed deeply and then pulled his best friend into a hug, letting her cry for a little while. After Beca's little sob fest, the two of them were in Beca's kitchen and Beca was getting Jesse some water.

"So she just left without saying goodbye?" He said. "Like she didn't even leave you a note?" He asked before thanking Beca for the glass of water.

"I mean, she left a note, but that doesn't make it any better. She should have told me to my face that she was going to be leaving. I wanted to kiss her one last time, and she left without giving me the chance to do so," Beca said, leaning against the counter.

"Well Chloe has never been a person who's good at saying goodbye. We both know that. She couldn't say goodbye to Barden either." He said before taking a sip. "Sure Chloe should've told you goodbye, but maybe she was scared that if you kissed her, she'd realize that she wasn't yours anymore. I'm just trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I totally see where you are coming from."

Beca nodded. "So, is that all you're here for? I've got four days to record backup for an album with fourteen songs and reproduce the entire album, so if that's all you needed to say, then I'll see you around," Beca said, sitting down on her couch and turning her laptop back on.

"I'm not saying you have to do it right away or even three years from now, but are you ever going to forgive her for leaving? Because if not, Chloe's wasting her time on you and I'm pretty sure that's the opposite of what you want." Jesse said before putting his jacket on, "it's just something to think about. I'll see you later." He said before patting her shoulder and heading out of the door.

"Jesse, wait!" Beca called after him. Jesse stopped and stepped back in the apartment for a moment. "This Friday night there's going to be a release party in a club downtown for Ariana's new album. I was wondering if you and Aubrey would like to come. It would be nice to have some friends there," Beca said to him, hoping he would agree.

"Of course we'll be there, you're my best friend. And Aubrey likes you too," He teased. "We wouldn't miss it for the world." He said before hugging Beca and then actually leaving for real this time. Beca smiled, then got back to work.

The next day, Beca and Ariana got to the studio early. Ariana had asked Chloe to bring the kids in early as well so they could start recording the backing vocals as soon as possible, giving Beca more time to finish the album. Beca waited in her office, working on the vocal arrangements when Ariana texted her to let her know Chloe and the choir had arrived.

Chloe helped the kids gather into the big recording room while they waited for Ariana. Chloe went to go find Ariana, which only took about five minutes. "Hey!" She said smiling when she saw the talented singer. "All the kids are ready, and super excited." She said smiling.

"That's so great to hear, you really have a great group of kids. I was thinking maybe you would like to come to the release party this Friday, since you and your choir have become a part of it. I'd like you to be there." She stated smiling widely.

Chloe smiled, "that would be great." She answered. "Do I have to wear anything specific?" She asked.

"You could pick something nice out from your wardrobe, or I could have my stylist team hook you up with a killer dress and even better makeup," Ariana said, "that is, if you don't mind taking the afternoon off on Friday. It tends to take a long time for them to get the perfect look, if that's what you're looking for."

Chloe chuckled and then said, "Count me in, we only have half days on Fridays anyways." She said before they got into the studio to record the song.

That Friday Ariana and Chloe were getting ready for the album release party. Beca was getting ready somewhere else and had no idea that Chloe was coming. Chloe and Ariana had picked out a beautiful salmon colored dress and then put her hair up in a braided bun. She looked absolutely beautiful.

Beca was at her apartment, where her stylist was helping both her and Macy get ready for the album release party. Macy was wearing a cute, short black dress with matching heels. Her hair was simply curled at the ends and was resting on her shoulders. Beca's stylist had chosen an outfit for her consisting of nice black dress pants and a white blazer, along with a white button-up blouse and a black tie. Before they were set to head to the release party, Macy was helping Beca with her tie. "You'd think that after I've worn ties so many times, I'd figure out how to tie one," she said with a chuckle. Macy smiled and kissed her lips, then they went outside to the limo, which took them to the party.

Beca and Macy were some of the first people there, so they made polite conversation with a few of the other celebrity guests that had also happened to arrive early, Jesse and Aubrey showed up about a half an hour after Beca and Macy. Chloe and Ariana were one of the last people to arrive, the place was pretty crowded with celebrities and some eager fans by then.

The two friends were just getting out of the cab when Chloe asked, "Are you sure I look good? I at least want to look like I belong there." She said.

Ariana chuckled a little bit and then said, "Are you kidding? You look hot. Any person in there would be crazy to think otherwise." She said, which boosted Chloe's confidence a bit more. They walked into the building and then Chloe's favorite Taylor Swift song "Enchanted," began to play as they got close to the doors. The chorus was literally seconds away from beginning when Chloe opened the doors, revealing a beautiful room filled with tables for people to eat at and a dance floor and a stage and podium for Ariana and couple other people so they could make short speeches throughout the night.

The party was going to start any minute, and Ariana still hadn't arrived. Little did Beca know that Chloe was also coming to the album release party. Beca turned her head towards the doors when she saw the paparazzi begin to run, the flashes of camera lights almost blinding her. Beca pushed her way through the paparazzi, and her jaw dropped.

Chloe was walking down the steps, Ariana at her side, in one of the most beautiful dresses Beca had ever seen in her life. Everything about her looked flawless, from her hair to her makeup to her smile. Beca did a double-take, blinking a few times to make sure she was seeing properly. After she blinked a couple times, Beca realized that it wasn't a dream. It was in that moment when Beca Mitchell fell in love with Chloe Beale all over again.

Well, well. Are old sparks returning to Beca's heart? Or were they there the whole time? Hope you enjoyed this chapter, we are working on the next one. Trying to get as many chapters uploaded as we can this weekend so we hope you enjoyed this one.

Until next time,
