Little Emily was up in her room working on her song writing, Beca encouraged it as much as possible and Emily really wanted to show her idol how good and driven she was. She has been up in her room since she came home from school, Tom was at work and Chloe was downstairs preparing dinner. In the middle of writing her song Emily's stomach let out a loud grumble "I wonder how long dinner is gonna be-" she then heard yet another grumble coming from her tummy "okay chill! I'll go check on dinner!" As Emiky was making her way downstairs she could hear sobs coming from the living room, Emily's heart broke, her mom had been crying for the past week, Chloe never told her daughter why, Emily just assumed she missed Beca or it was coz they got in a fight, she overheard one of her parents conversations during one of her late night wonders down to the kitchen. Emily missed Beca loads, the DJ would be on tour with Christina for the next month or so.
Emily slowly crept into the living room and saw Chloe on the couch cuddling into a cushion and crying. Emily's face had confusion written all over it because the film Chloe was watching wasn't even sad; she was watching Scott Pilgrim VS the World. Oh! That's why she's crying... Emily's mind travelled back to the night her, Beca and Chloe were watching Scott Pilgrim, she had gone to bed early so she couldn't stay up until Beca left but she remembered telling Beca that she looked just like Anna Kendrick maybe her mother thought the same. "Hey mom? Is everything okay? I was just wondering how long dinner is going to be coz I'm really hungry..." Chloe quickly jumped off the sofa and turned off the TV as she wiped her eyes. "Emily! You know you're not allowed to scare me like that!" Emily nodded and as she started to babble and stammer out an apology Chloe went over and drew her into a hug. "It's okay babe, why don't we order pizza or do you want to go out for dinner instead?" Emily's eyes widened, she loved going out to dinner with her mom, but looking into Chloe's eyes Emily could really see the hurt and sorrow in them, they were all bloodshot and puffy from how much she had been crying. "That's okay mom, we can just stay in, order pizza and watch some movies!"
Chloe hugged her daughter and kissed the top of her head. "Okay sweetheart, I'm going for a shower so you can pick whatever toppings you want, we'll get lots of ice cream too okay?" Emily's eyes widened again as a huge smile crept up on her face, Chloe's insides turned to mush, no matter how she was feeling Emily's happiness always made her day brighter as did another little brunette's that she missed more than anything in the world right now.
Meanwhile at Beca's Hotel Room
"Woohoo! Mitchell you were awesome! Conrad you're up! OMG can you believe we only have like five more shows to go before we go back home for Christmas break and then another three months for touring?" Beca's heart was beating so fast, they had a great show last night and even better that it was sold out! "Seriously Mitchell who knew you could dance! Okay Conrad I'm up against you know seen as Beca caved so come on hurry up!" Beca walked over to the kitchen counter and sat up on a stool and poured herself a drink, her Stacie and Christina were playing Just Dance for about two hours straight, her small heart couldn't take it much longer and she decided to back out. As she was sipping her water she watched Stacie and Christina, even though Stacie was beating Christina Beca's eyes were glued onto Christina, she had her hair down she wore a Rolling Stones tank and red boy shorts. Her dancing emphasised her ass in the bright red boy shorts which reminded her of a certain redhead back home who she missed more than anything in the world right now.
*FLASHBACK*
"Hey Tom- ugh is Chloe here, she asked me to come over." Tom gave Beca a disgusted look, he sucked his teeth at her before replying "If she invited you over wouldn't you think she'd obviously be here?" Beca's brow furrowed, how Chloe was with such a sarcastic jerk she'll never know. "Kitchen. Now could you please move? I have work to go to." Beca quickly apologised and moved out of the way so Tom could pass, she then headed in and made her way to the kitchen. The sight before her was incredible, Chloe had headphones on over her ears, the volume was up fully so she hadn't noticed Beca come in and she was dancing with her back facing Beca. She was wearing a grey tank that hugged her body in all the right places and she also had on these really bright red boy shorts that made her ass look Aca-amazing!
She was following the movement of Chloe's waist; she couldn't deny that the redhead had the best sex appeal she had ever seen. Beca's eyes filled with lust and desire as she stares at the red head in front of her. Beca hated movies but Chloe made her watch the film the song she was dancing to was from and Beca had to agree the song fitted the situation perfectly, she was listening to Chloe's singing carefully and began to sing along with her, the redhead was drawing Beca's attention in more and more completely unbeknownst to herself, she was completely oblivious to Beca watching her.
With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't
Disguise I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between
You and I
Beca shifted herself from leaning against the kitchen counter and slowly made her way towards Chloe. Beca's timing was perfect, as Chloe was dancing by herself she twirled towards Beca still not knowing the brunette was there but she landed perfectly into the younger girl's embrace. Chloe's hands fell perfectly on Beca's shoulders, the two women smiling wildly at eachother and locking their eyes onto eachother. Chloe was startled when her ad Beca made contact but quickly settled as the two continued dancing and singing around the kitchen, both kept eye contact and the electricity and spark between the two was undeniable. The song definitely fitted the moment perfectly.
I wanna hold you so
Hear me out
I wanna show you
What love's all about
Darlin' tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these
Hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't
Disguise I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between
You and I
I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With those hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise
I need you to see
This love was meant to be
I've got hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't
Disguise I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between
You and I
I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
Did I take you by surprise
With my hungry eyes
I believe hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With my hungry eyes
Beca and Chloe were giggling, smiling and staring into eachother's eyes, the moment was going perfectly until*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!*"Fuck! Beca you made me burn the pancakes!" The two girls snapped their heads to look at the little girl who was giggling at the two best friends but unbeknownst to them Emily caught their "Dirty Dancing Moment" on video on her iPad. "Beca! For God's sake! Open a window while I fan out the smoke!"
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"Yo Beca! Snap out of it!" Beca shook her head and blinked her eyes a couple of times to shake herself out of her daze. "Chloe- hungry eyes!- STACIE?!- wait what happened?!" Stacie and Christina burst out laughing at the small DJ as Beca began to turn insanely red. "Dude you were thinking about a certain smoking hot redhead I bet!" Christina smirked as she nudged Beca who nearly fell off the stool she was sitting on. "Beca... maybe you should call her- maybe she misses you too?" Beca's face fell, judging by Chloe's words and anger at Beca the last time they saw eachother, Beca doubted very much that the redhead missed her. That expression got even more worrying when Beca was now staring at her phone, Stacie and Christina both looked at Beca waiting for her to answer, when she was too speechless to give the girls a proper answer, Stacie took a look at the name that flashed up on the screen. "Hot Redhead? Really Beca?-" Christina interrupted Stacie's teasing as she shouted at Beca. "ANSWER IT BECCASAUCE!"
Beca ran into her bedroom and locked the door, before taking a deep breath and swiped the screen and answered the phone. "H-he-hello?" "BECA! Hey!" Beca instantly smiled at the sound of the girl's voice, she could or put into words how much she missed her. "Emily hey! What's up kiddo?" "Nothing much- listen mom is in the shower and I don't have much time so don't talk for a sec okay?" "Umm okay..." Beca was worried but more confused than anything. "Okay mom is miserable here Beca, I know you two got in a fight or whatever, I heard her and dad talking about it. She's really sad and upset okay? She's crying all the time, it's like her face is gonna stay red forever, she's eating like four tubs of ice cream every day and dad is being really weird around her. When she cries he doesn't try and hug her or anything! Beca please talk to her she misses you so much and so do I! We love you!" Beca couldn't help but tear up and feel a hard lump in the back of her throat at Emily's words. "I will talk to her soon I promise Emily, I love you guys too, I'll talk to you soon okay? I gotta go bye kiddo." Beca hung up after Emily said her goodbyes, she put her face in her hands and fell back against the door and slid down til she was sitting on the floor, she began to cry softly. She couldn't believe after everything Chloe had said and done to her that she missed her and was miserable without her.
Beca quickly wiped her eyes when she heard Stacie knock on the bedroom door. "Umm Becks? That was Bree- could you come out of the bedroom- it's umm really important..." Beca opened the door and slowly crept out, she was met with Stacie and Perri who had worried and concerned expressions plastered all over their faces. "Stace- what's going on?" Stacie extended an arm around Beca's shoulders and began walking the tiny brown haired girl towards the small sofa and the three girls sat down. "For whatever reason Tom is forcing Chloe to go to Vegas to marry him, she knew he was cheating but something else happened so now they're getting a plane to Vegas on Thursday and they're getting married that night- I'm so sorry Beca..." Beca put her face in her hands once more and started sobbing slowly, she felt numb inside, how could this be happening?!
Just then Christina perked up and a massive smile came on her adorable face. Not helping the mood here Perri!Stacie thought as she shot a glare at Christina, and as if Ms Perri read her mind she said "No! We're in Vegas that night for a small show! I know what we're gonna do! Mitchell listen up!"
