"The Sopranos, Jessica, Mary Elise and Lily. The Metsos, Cynthia Rose, Stacie and Cory. And our Altos, Fat Amy, Denise, Ashley and Beca." Aubrey says ripping off everyone's blindfolds. Beca feeling a small amount of panic as her blindfold is ripped off, she jumps into a flashback.
"Becs, beautiful Becs." The man said, Beca couldn't see through the blindfold. "Please let me go. Take anything you want just please let me go." Beca pleads for her life, pulling against the restraints holding her to the chair. "No, no, no. Beca I'm going to protect you, from all the evil in this world. I would know, I've seen it. I'm going to protect you from everything that could hurt you because you are who I care about most in this world. I love you Becs, more than as a best friend, more than a sister." The man says and as Beca goes to answer, she is cut off by a set of lips on hers. Beca pulls away. "Who are you? What do you want with me?" She asks. She feels as the blindfold is ripped off and her abductor is revealed. "There are those beautiful blue eyes." He says as he caresses her trembling cheek. "Oh my God." She says, shocked at who her kidnapper was.
"Beca. It's your turn." Chloe smiles gently, holding the chalice up in front of her. Beca looks to her. "Don't worry it's Boones Farm." Chloe shrugs, Beca takes the chalice and takes a sip of the drink before Chloe moves on to Ashley. All the girls take a drink and Chloe turns to the front with Aubrey. "Okay girls, please place your scarves in your right hand." Chloe says, everyone follows the order. "I, sing your name." Aubrey starts to say the oath. The girls all copy, singing their various names in different pitches, making Beca, Aubrey and Chloe cringe. "Promise to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a Bella woman." Aubrey continues on with the oath after taking a deep breath and giving Chloe a side glance. "And I solemnly promise to never have sexual relations with a Treblemaker, or may my vocal cords be ripped out by wolves." Aubrey adds out of impulse and hate for the Treblemakers. Everyone pauses for a moment, looking to each other before repeating what Aubrey had said. After they finished, Aubrey spoke again. "You are all Bella's now." The light in the gym turn back on and all the girls cheer and laugh while Fat Amy grabs the chalice and finishes the Boones Farm. Stacie walks over to Beca. "You're Beca right? I'm Stacie." She say, her smile brightening. "Yeah that's right, nice to meet you Stacie." Beca answers with a small smile and the shake of Stacie's offered hand. Stacie goes to speak again when Chloe jumps between the two facing Beca. "Time to party, let's go." Chloe beams before running off to be with Aubrey. Beca looks to Stacie and shrugs as they both follow the other girls out of the gym and to the courtyard where a small party is being held.
"I don't know what I'm doing here." Beca says to Stacie, she smiles and nudges Beca a little. "We're living the dream. I still can't believe they let me in." She says almost unconfidently. "Becaw!" Beca hears the voice and looks around. "Becaw." She turns around and notices the brunette guy making his way to her, Jesse, the guy who serenaded her on her arrival day and all works with her at the radio station. To Beca, Jesse seemed like a nice guy and he was actually really sweet and funny, she definitely could see him as a good friend but nothing more. "I'll let you go." Stacie smiles to Beca as she leaves, leaving Jesse and Beca to talk. "Do my eyes deceive me or are you a Barden Bella?" He asks, getting really close to her, close enough that she could smell a hint of alcohol on his breath. "No." She answers sarcastically, trying to make a joke. "You're one of those acapella girls, I'm one of those acapella boys and we're going to have aca-children. It's inevitable." He jokes, taking Beca aback a bit. "You're really drunk right now, I don't think you're going to remember any of this." She smirks as Jesse eyes droop a little. "I'm not drunk, you're just blurry." He replies. "You okay? Yeah? You almost fall over. Could you pass a sobriety test right now?" She asks as she pushes him in the chest a few times. "See I come right back and I'll come right back. Can I get you a drink?" He jokes before asking. "Sounds great." Beca smirks. "I'm going to get you a drink, I think you need to get out of this level." He says sarcastically as he turns and leaves. Little did Beca know that a certain blonde was watching the encounter between them.
As Jesse leaves, Chloe runs up to Beca and grabs her wrists firmly. "Hi." She says sweetly, pulling Beca towards her, to the point where they were mere inches from kissing, Beca pulling away at the last second feeling extremely uncomfortable. "I'm so glad that I met you." Chloe confesses as she leans in, Beca begins to panic again but relaxes when Chloe touches her forehead to hers and speak again, not moving any closer. "I think we're going to be really fast friends." Chloe adds as she pulls away slightly. Beca shows off a bright smile. "Yeah, well you saw me naked so." Beca replies sarcastically with an additional wink. Chloe smirks. "So hey are you okay from earlier in your room?" She asks, attempting to get some sort of answer out of Beca. "Yeah, yeah it passed and my room was just me getting angry because I couldn't get a song right. I'll clean it all up in the morning." Beca answers, truth in her answer but laced with lies also. "Okay well I'm going to get a drink. This ginger needs her jiggle juice." Chloe admits as she steps away. Beca watches as she shake her butt before slapping and clicking her fingers. "Make good choices." Beca manages to get out before Chloe disappears into the crowd. Moments later, a song is played over the speakers and Beca recognizes it immediately, 'Keep your Head Up' by Andy Grammar. Jesse returns with a drink and hands it to Beca. He turns around and watches the party in motion, everyone dancing and singing along. "This is awesome." He says. Beca cringes as she watches everyone. "It's definitely something." She retorts and before she knows it, Jesse hold his arms out and yells at the top of his lungs. "WE ARE THE KINGS OF CAMPUS!" Beca jumps slightly at the action but then just hold a laugh in the bottom of her throat. She looks around and notices Fat Amy dancing on the edge of two aisle seats, attempting to twerk, Beca was guessing. She then looks further past Fat Amy to see Chloe making out with… Tom. "Are you kidding me?" She whispers to herself.
"I'm really sorry about the drug thing baby. I am and to prove it, I've stopped." Tom says to Chloe and she smiles. "That's good Tom, it is but I don't know if I want to get back together with you." She admits, the alcohol allowing her to complete demolish her inner filter. "Will this help you with that decision?" Tom asks before leaning forward and gently placing his lips on Chloe's. He pulls away and sees the beaming smile on Chloe's face. "It significantly helps yeah but I'll think about it. I have a lot going on with the Bella's and everything." She replies honestly. Tom smirks. "Of course babe, come to me whenever you are ready and we'll talk." Tom adds before walking away. Chloe turns around to see if she could find Aubrey and notices Beca and Stacie talking and Stacie getting a little too close and a little too touchy feely. She then notices Beca take Stacie's hand and lead her away from the party and back toward her dorm. Chloe feels a pang of anger in the pit of her stomach, was she really jealous of Stacie and Beca.
"Hey do you want to head back to my dorm? I don't have a roommate besides you're very drunk, you can crash." Beca offers to a highly intoxicated Stacie Conrad. "Ooh, is the edgy, alternative and totally sexy Beca Mitchell going to take me to her room?" Stacie jokes with a wink. Beca laughs. "Not like that you weirdo. I'm just being a concerned friend." Beca pouts and Stacie bursts out in laughter, putting her hand on Beca's shoulder. "Of course cutie, lead the way." Stacie allows her arm to fly out and Beca wraps her other hand before starting to pull her toward the dorms. She notices as Stacie intentionally wedges her fingers in between Beca's and she rests her head on Beca's shoulder. "You alright there?" She laughs. Stacie nod, her head remaining on Beca's shoulder as they walk. "I'm great." Stacie giggles as they cross the main quad. "So Stacie, what do you want to do after college?" Beca asks, genuinely interested in Stacie's future. Beca knew there was something different about Stacie. There was a connection between them that Beca couldn't quite put her finger on but she cared for the tall, model-like brunette. "Doctor. I want to help people." Stacie mumbles and the corner of Beca's mouth turns upward at the thought of Stacie helping people as a doctor. "Well I'll be sure to come to you in the future then." Beca tries to joke, Stacie however actually laughs, surprising Beca, none of her jokes made anyone laugh. "What about you gorgeous?" Stacie asks. Beca takes her time to think. "I don't know, I really want to be an artist, write, sing and play my own music but there is no way that would happen so I'm settling for my second job on my dream jobs list, Criminologist, seeing things from a different perspective when it comes to criminals, understand why they do the things they do." Beca replies and Stacie nods. "Criminologist would be cool but Beca, you have all the ability in the world to be an artist. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." Stacie's words slur heavily but Beca still understands her. Her head starts to fill with the voices again. Her father's discouraging words from when she told him numerous times she was going to be a music artist. "Beca, you have to actually be good to be an artist and make music." "You will never be an artist." "Producers only look for good looking people to become artists Beca." "You would never make it." "You only have one job and that is to please me. You will forget this bullshit about becoming big in LA and singing. You are not beautiful enough, not talented enough and certainly not cut out to me a musician or artist or whatever." "YOU WILL NEVER FULFILL YOUR DREAM!" All the memories rushed back, never making Beca tumble over but she remains steady as the girls make it to Baker Hall. "I don't have what it takes, I'm not good enough or beautiful enough or even cut out for become an artist." Beca says as she helps Stacie in and into her room, placing her on the spare bed. Beca turns to walk away when Stacie grabs her hand. Beca turns and looks down at her. "You are good enough and you are gorgeous and of course you are cut out for it otherwise you wouldn't be in the Bella's. Just know that WHEN you make it, I'll be your number one fan." Stacie says sincerely. Beca smiles before Stacie lets her go and rolls over, falling asleep almost instantly. Beca, on the other hand, starts to tidy up her mess from earlier and crashes once it was all done.
There we go guys! So what's happening between Stacie and Beca (:O don't kill me) well there is going to be more between them so I can really get jealous Chloe out of the cage and admitting her feelings for Beca. Meanwhile, Beca with Stacie's influence MAY get slowly better. I mean tere will still be moments but who knows.
However, Stacie will soon work out what is going on, she won't know EVERYTHING but she will find out about her father hurting her and she will find out that Beca has gone through a lot and is suffering Anxiety, Depression and PTSD. Either way Stacie will probably become the most loved character in this story other than Beca because she would never hurt Beca or leave her.
Another song in the next chapter and Stacie will hear it.
See you next chapter. Stay beautiful lovelies!
