"I'm falling in love with Chloe," Beca stated before she let out a laugh. "No way." Dr. Mitchell watched as she continued to laugh, waiting for her to calm down. He figured she was laughing in disbelief. He also figured that she would react this way. It was normal for Jem Holders to react like that. It was in her blood to react like that. She had no control of it. Although after a few minutes, Dr. Mitchell had enough, slamming his fist on the counter to get Beca's attention back. At the sound, Beca immediately stopped laughing. "What?"

Dr. Mitchell cleared his throat before speaking. "Loving Chloe isn't a bad thing, Beca. You're actually on the right track."

Hearing this caused the brunette to tilt her head to the side. "I'm sorry? Did I hear that wrong or something?" Beca asked, obvious confusion in her voice.

"You're on the right track," he repeated.

Beca bit her lip. "What do you mean I'm on the right track? I've been trying to get on that damn track for what? Three tries now? Four?" She sighed. "I don't understand what you're trying to tell me and I don't think I'll end up making it right in the end anyways. In fact, I don't mind being on a loop for the rest of my life. I'd rather that than lose…" She paused and thought for a second. "Is this… is this what's supposed to happen? I'm… I-"

He nodded and frowned slightly, contemplating whether he should tell her the truth her not. He had hoped that she would have figured it out herself, but that never happened. It might never happen. Sighing, Dr. Mitchell took ahold of the jewel in his hands, looking at it briefly, then setting it back on the island counter. "It's perfectly okay to be confused, Bec. You're supposed to have feelings for Chloe. It's what Jem Holders are meant to do." Beca glanced down and fiddled with her finger tips, nervous about what else her dad was going to say. "Did you think that the person you save is chosen randomly, Beca?"

At this, the DJ's eyes left her hands on her lap to meet Dr. Mitchell's eyes. "What?" She shook her head. "I don't understand."

"You don't have to understand. Just make the right decisions, especially around Chloe. Keep her close too," he answered.

With that, Beca nodded and grabbed her half of the jewel off of the counter top before hopping off the stool she was sitting on. "Thanks," she said, smiling slightly and leaving her dad's house, then calling a taxi to drive her back to the Barden campus.

It was only hours until Semi-Finals of the ICCAs. Only hours until Beca screwed up the Bellas' set list. Only hours until she makes another wrong mistake that leads Chloe into getting in car crash again, always like the ones before. No matter how hard she tried to change Chloe's mind, she dies anyways in the end. After setting back time again, Beca had to wait hours upon hours to meet her again and fix what she had done wrong, or what she thought she'd done wrong. Everything she tries to fix leaves Chloe back in her arms on the road. Maybe she wasn't supposed to fix anything. Maybe she should just leave everything be, but that's what caused the accident in the first place. Her feelings for her could change that, change fate. Whatever that is.

Before she could leave to the bus, Beca had to check in with Luke at the radio station. Despite it being the weekend, she still had to work day shifts at her internship. The brunette was confused to why she had to work on the weekend, especially this weekend. No, the day of Semi-Finals.

Not exactly in the mood to deal with Luke, she walked into the radio station with a sigh. Although, the music that ran through the radio station made her eyes widen. It was one of her mixes, one of the many mixes Beca had gave to Luke. She was surprised he actually played one of her mixes, the mix that suddenly reminded her of Chloe, which didn't really help make her feel any better.

Beca adjusted her shoulder strap bag as she walked deeper into the radio station, her eyes fixed on the booth. She tilted her head to the side, not seeing Luke or Jesse anywhere. He was probably on the road with the rest of the Trebles, heading to Semi-Finals. Luke on the other hand, she had no idea where he would be at the moment.

As she walked towards the numerous shelves of music record, she heard foot steps behind her, frowning slightly before glancing over her shoulder. Chloe. Chloe? Beca turned around, chuckling a little at the red head. She was confused as to why Chloe would be at the radio station and how she was able to get in. Beca figured she was her the whole time, which would explain why she wasn't in her Barden Bellas' uniform.

"Hey, Beca," Chloe started, giving the brunette a small smile. "Ready for Semi-Finals?"

Beca shook her head and sighed. "How did you get in here? Luke-"

"He's not here. Well, he was, but I told him that you weren't going to be able to make it due to Semi-Finals."

The DJ looked at her in disbelief. "So he left?" Chloe nodded. "And you decided to play one of my mixes on the radio?" She nodded again. "But how-"

"Can't you just enjoy the moment? Be happy that I put your mix on the radio?" the red head interrupted, taking one of Beca's hands. Beca's face flushed at the contact, causing her to look down. "Now, lets go to the bus before it leaves without us, hmm?"

Beca nodded quickly and allowed Chloe to lead her out of the radio station, their two hands still intertwined with each other.

The Bellas had went on to the bus once Beca and Chloe had arrived back from the radio station. Luckily, there were two open seats that were next to each other, giving Beca the opportunity to direct her best friend to those two seats. Both girls sat down, their hands still intertwined. Noticing that, Beca pulled her hand away and set her hands on her lap, fiddling with her finger tips. Even before the bus had started up, she was thinking about what was mandatory to change this time, what she had to do to save Chloe. What she was going to do to save Chloe. For sure, she didn't want to fail this time. This time, she wanted Chloe to live. Beca knew that this time, saving the bubbly red head was going to be a little easier because of what her dad told her a few days ago. She thought about that, about what he told her. That she had to keep Chloe close to her, to never leave her side.

After a few minutes, the bus finally began to move and worry built up inside Beca. There was the ride, the performance, then… This moment was the last that she will see Chloe and hear her voice before her death was meant to happen. If she doesn't succeed again, everything will simply start over. Time will start over.

Shaking off the thoughts, she wrapped one arm around Chloe's shoulders and pulled her close as the taller Bella listened to her music and hummed along to it. Beca found Chloe's humming soothing, dragging her thoughts away from what might happen in the future after the performance, after they basically losing the Semi-Finals. Beca screwing up the set. Beca leaving all the other Bellas behind. She left them behind, even Chloe. She left Chloe behind and didn't look back, never looked back.

Her eyes left her hands and moved to the window, looking out through it. She hoped that it would distract her, Chloe's humming obviously failing to do so. Her humming only brought more thoughts. Now she wasn't focused on Chloe, she was focused on the now. Having her arm around her, holding her close, Chloe's head slowly moving to rest on Beca's shoulder. With that, she closed her eyes and breathed in Chloe's sweet scent.

Chloe looked up at her and frowned. "You okay Becs?"

She nodded and leaned down to kiss the top of her head. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just have a lot of things on my mind right now." Chloe smiled at Beca and relaxed in her arms.

Keep her close…

Hi! Sorry that I haven't updated in a few months. Being a Junior in high school, I had to deal with the whole college thing, so I never really got the time to update. Homework and exams got in the way as well. Now that it's summer, I might update more, depends on if I'm busy or not. My parents tell me everything last minute if we have plans of not. Hopefully, I can get a few more updates in before summer comes to an end.

Also, I'm not sure how many more chapters I'm going to write. I maybe write three to five more chapters. I didn't really plan on this fanfic being like forty plus chapters since it goes along with the movie. I already know what I'm going to do with this story, I just have to get there.

Thank you for waiting this long and reading it, despite the wait. I really appreciate it.
