Chapter 10: Hope for Tomorrow

For the next couple of days, Chloe stayed over Tom's table with his friends. She wasn't sure if she can face Aubrey, Jesse, Stacie especially Beca. All of this happened when she started her relationship with Tom. But she couldn't blame it on Tom, he was only asking for a chance…she gave it to him and eventually, they became a thing. Was she selfish? Did she make the right choice? She surely was very confused right now. Her mind was like a tangled web, and it just got more tangled. Aubrey was mad at her…Beca has her walls up again and Jesse and Stacie wasn't talking to her or they don't have the chance to talk. Either way, she couldn't be with her friends anymore. She's always with Tom and his friends, and no matter how friendly they are to her…she couldn't help but feel that she doesn't belong to those kinds of people. It was already a big news at school that she's Tom Daniels' girlfriend, and so she gained popularity. At lunch time, Chloe got a chance to steal glances at her friends' table. She wants to go over there and talk to them, but she doesn't have the strength to face them. She's too embarrassed of herself.

Meanwhile Aubrey, Jesse, Stacie& Beca's conversation is not pretty far from what everybody's talking about. "I'm really sorry, Beca. I know how much this is hurting you." Aubrey said with pure concern in her voice as she reached out to hold Beca's hand. Beca smiled sadly at Aubrey.

"It's okay guys. I'm fine, really. It's not really easy, but I have you guys by my side. I don't want you to think that I'm this pitiful girl who didn't get her happy ending. Life isn't fair. I have to accept that. And don't forget, I'm badass. I can get through anything." Beca said that made them laugh a bit.

"How's your heart Becs?" asked Jesse, and Beca couldn't help but notice how lame that sounded but she gave him an assuring smile. "I'm not gonna say it's alright…but I'm not gonna say it's broken either. I'm in the process of healing it. Mending it, piece by piece….oh my gosh that sounded so dorky." They all laughed. It has been very heavy for them the past days, but it's not something they couldn't surpass.

Beca looked over Tom's table with his friends to take a look at Chloe. She was a bit surprised to find the redhead was also looking at her. She smiled at her and gave her a little wave. The redhead mimicked her actions but was called by one of Tom's friends so she turned her attention to them.

"Hey Beca…" Jesse started. Beca turned her head to look at him expectantly. "When did you actually realized that you have feelings for Chloe?"

"Uhm…" Beca thought for a moment. "Honestly, I really don't know. I think it just hit me. When Stacie confronted me about what Chloe and I look when we're together…or how we acted towards each other, I thought about it. And then, I knew it. I knew that I had feelings for her all along…but I was just too scared to admit it to myself. And then I realized that there are things you just couldn't control nor explain. It just…happen. If it happens, it happens for a reason."

Jesse smiled and nodded, feeling satisfied with Beca's answer. It was obvious that Beca was sincere with what she said.

"But…" Beca continued. "…when I learned that Chloe and Tom were in a relationship it dawned on me. Maybe…maybe this is what the universe is telling me. That me and Chloe will never be together. I just have to live with that." She added.

"Hey now…it's never too late, isn't it?" Stacie encouraged with a comforting pat on Beca's back. Beca smiled at her and shrugged.

"We'll see…there's always hope for tomorrow, right?"

They all smiled at her and nodded to agree.

After a few moments, Beca was itching to ask Aubrey about what she can remember at the truth or dare game back at Stacie's house.

"Hey Aubrey…do you somehow remember anything about what happened in the game?" Beca asked Aubrey hesitantly.

"Game? What game?" Aubrey asked with a confused look.

"Y'know…the truth or dare game you guys played back at Stacie's house? After the party? You were at the pool side?"

"Oh that! Yeah…man, that game was so wacked. But it was all so blurry, I was pretty wasted."

Beca shifted her gaze towards Jesse and arched her eyebrows "How about you Jesse? You remember anything? Especially Chloe's truth?"

"I'm sorry Bec. I wasn't really sober that time. I'm pretty sure when you were watching us…I'm like a mad man." Jesse confessed. Then Beca laughed at the memory. Jesse sure did look like a mad man. He was crazily whipping his shirt above his head when it was his turn to do a dare. Aubrey was just giggling the whole time.

"I can't even remember my dare! I'm pretty sure it was damn embarrassing." Jesse said as he buried his face onto his hands. Then Fat Amy suddenly passed by their table.

"Hey Jesse! I just found out you had a video of dancing like a stripper in my phone! It was priceless!" and then she left.

"Well that's pretty random." Beca teased Jesse with a smirk. Jesse buried his face in his hands deeper and groaned. "Oh god…"

"When I woke up the next day, it felt like hell. My head was throbbing in pain, and I smelled pretty nasty." Stacie said. Beca laughed. "It took me about 5 aspirins before that horrible headache banished. Then when I went downstairs, my god! The house was like a garbage bag!"

They were all laughing now. Hangovers were not the happiest thing if it happens to you, but it sure was the funniest thing when you talk about it. "And then I saw Beca's text message on my phone, which sure didn't make any sense to me that time. And so, my headache came back."

"I also experienced the same feeling! When I woke up, I thought my head was gonna split into two!" exclaimed Jesse.

"Thank God, we managed to clean your house before your folks arrived. You would've suffered a one-hour lecture from them if they went home and found the house trashed." Aubrey chuckled.

"Well, I couldn't have done it without you guys. It was a real group effort." Stacie shrugged.

It seemed things are gonna get better. It might have been tough for them for the past days, but all things are alright in the end. We should know that we are not alone when things became rough. We always have our friends and family to hold on to. To gain strength from. Beca smiled at her friends and she was pretty glad that she has them.

Things will be alright from now on, she thought.

A/N: Short but sweet, ey? YEY! She's not the crying girl anymore! Anyway, this chapter was just a breath of fresh air despite the drama and angst from the previous chapters. Like what I and Beca said, things are gonna be alright from now on, so stay tuned! I'm working on the next few chapters and I ASSURE you guys…you wouldn't want to miss it.

Spoilers alert! Chloe will get her shit together and will start to realize things. Also, Tom has a secret (uh-oh). Watch out for that! By the way…I'm thinking of writing another story, and I was wondering if you guys want to contribute some ideas. I have ideas myself, but I want you guys to give me fresh ones to keep my options open. But I'm gonna make that when I'm done with TSMTT.

Soooooo, keep on following, favorite-ing(is that a word, gosh no.), and reviewing. I love you guys. You rock!

Next on There's Something More Than This: Fading

Stay awesome!
