"Beca, who did this to you?" Stacie asks as she reaches out to touch Beca's swollen and bruised face. Beca whimpers and pulls away. Stacie retracts her hand and sits a bit further back on the bed, giving Beca the space she needs. "Beca? Sweetie please tell me who did this to you?" Stacie asks again, her head down as she can't bear to steal a glance from Beca again seeing how battered and broken she was. Stacie knew she liked Beca, most definitely as a good friend but also as something more. She couldn't bare seeing Beca in so much pain. "It wasn't anyone Stacie. Please just leave it be and go home." Beca says harshly as she lies back down again. Stacie sighs and gets up to leave but notices Beca's phone on the bedside. Stacie picked up the iPhone and swiped it to unlock it. She opened up Beca's texts to see one from a Warren that was received during the time of the Bella's rehearsal, right before Beca left saying that he was outside the rehearsal space. 'So this Warren guy did this to her.' Stacie says in her mind before looking down at Beca again. She locks Beca's phone again and leaves.

"This is Chloe." Chloe answers the phone, leaving the living room whilst Aubrey pauses the movie. "Chloe, it's Stacie. I'm sorry to call so late but I don't think Beca is coming back to Bella's rehearsals for a while." Chloe's brow furrows when she realises it is Stacie on the other end of the phone than worries when she brings up Beca. "What do you mean? Is she okay?" Chloe asks in reply. She hears Stacie sigh on the other end of the phone as if she is deciding whether or not to tell her something. "Um, after Bella's rehearsal I went around to Beca's room and I found her and she had been beaten up, like really beaten up. I think her ribs are broken and she needs to go to hospital. I looked through her phone and a guy named Warren text her to meet outside the rehearsal space and I think this guy did it." Stacie admits. Chloe goes into shock at the mention of Beca being hurt. "Where are you now?" Chloe asks. "Outside her room. She didn't want me in there so I'm awkwardly sitting with my back to her door." Stacie replies. Chloe looks into the living room to her best friend who is looking through her phone while waiting for Chloe to return. "Stacie, stay there, I'm on my way." Chloe says before hanging up the phone. She walks into the living room where Aubrey adjusts to watch as Chloe grabs her jacket and puts on her shoes. "I have to go." Chloe says as she grabs her keys. "You're kidding. Chloe, this is best friend's night, our night." Aubrey jumps up from the couch and follows Chloe to the door. "I know Aubrey but Beca's in trouble." Chloe replies as she opens the front door. Aubrey scoffs. "That hobbit is always in trouble Chloe and she skipped out on rehearsals. One more time and she is gone." Aubrey threatens, making Chloe's anger rise. She turns to Aubrey, glaring at her. "You know what Aubrey, I get that you don't like Beca but Stacie called, Beca has been beaten up pretty bad, Stacie thinks her ribs are broken and needs a hospital. Apparently Beca had to meet with someone and they beat her while we were rehearsing. We lost two girls already today Aubrey and we nearly lost a third. I'm going." Chloe replies as she slams the door, leaving Aubrey stunned at both Chloe's actions and the fact that someone had hurt one of her Bella's even if it was Beca. Aubrey couldn't help but be worried for the small brunette.

"Stacie, hey." Chloe greets as she meets Stacie in front of Beca's dorm room. "Hi Chloe." Stacie replies, concern laced in her words. She knew that she had to call someone about Beca and Aubrey was a big no so Chloe would have been the best option, being a captain, Beca's friend and someone who can help. Chloe knocks on the door lightly before walking in, Stacie follows suit. "Beca? It's Chloe. Stacie told me that you were in an accident and you were hurt. I need you to let Stacie have a look." Chloe asks, knowing Stacie wanted to become a doctor and used to volunteer as a paramedic, she had read her file during the auditions. Chloe and Stacie watched as the form on the bed shuffled around but remained under the blanket. "I think she's asleep, or passed out." Stacie whispers to Chloe. "I think you might be right." Chloe replies as she moves in and slowly pulls the blanket off of Beca's form revealing the cuts and bruises on her face. "Oh my God." Chloe says as she sees Beca is in fact asleep. She pulls the blanket back further to see Beca's arms are cuddled into her ribs, almost as if she were protecting them. Chloe carefully pulls the hem of Beca's shirt up past her ribs to reveal the blackened skin, extreme swelling and slight deformity of her ribs. "God. What happened to her? Who did this to her?" Chloe whispers angrily as she beckons Stacie over. Stacie walks over and checks Beca's injuries. "Okay, it looks like some lacerations and bruising to the face. That cut over her eyebrow will need stitches." Stacie confirms pointing the deeper laceration above Beca's eye. "Uh broken wrist, two or three broken ribs and probably a concussion which is why she is asleep now. We need to get her to a hospital, call 911." Stacie says. Chloe does immediately as Stacie says, having 911 already dialled ready to call just in case. "Beca, if you can hear me, it's Stacie. Chloe is calling an ambulance and they are going to get you to a hospital." Stacie whispers in Beca's ear before giving her a light kiss on the forehead, brushing the hair that was sticking to Beca's face off. "Just please be okay." Stacie adds, tears starting to flow from her eyes.

"Here." Chloe says as she hands Stacie a cup of coffee in the waiting room of the hospital. Stacie's lips turn up awkwardly into a half smile. "Thanks." She says as she takes the caffeine. Chloe sits down next to the tall brunette. "So you and Beca have gotten pretty close already." Chloe confirms, Stacie nods as she brings the coffee down from her lips. "Yeah there is something about her that just draws me in, you know? I think we'll only be good friends though." Stacie confesses, her head dropping into her hands. "Oh? So you want to be more than friends?" Chloe asks, attempting to hide the jealously and slight anger in her words. Stacie nods, her head still in her hands. Chloe takes a deep breath before speaking again, realising what she was about to say. "Stacie, if you want to be with Beca than tell her how you feel and if she accepts it and reciprocates it than it's good but if she doesn't you two can still be good friends." Chloe says, putting her hand on Stacie's knee.

"Beca Mitchell?" A doctor calls out, turning the heads of the redhead and brunette. They both stand up and walk over. "We're her friends, we called the ambulance." Chloe explains. The doctor nods. "You did the right thing girls, Beca has a broken wrist which has been put in a cast, a severe concussion, various lacerations and bruising all over her body and two fractured ribs. When asked, Beca said she fell down a set of stairs but I do not believe this was done by stairs." He says. The girls nodding along confirming what Stacie had said about Beca's injuries. "Nothing like her previous injuries." The doctor adds making the girls look at him confused. "What do you mean previous injuries?" Chloe asks, looking between the doctor, Stacie and the door that she couldn't go through to see Beca. "Your friend has large scarring over her back and abdomen, the time I saw something similar was a war veteran." He claims, not mentioning to the girls about all the self-harm scars he had also found out of privacy for his patient, he figured the girls already knew. He watches as the girls look at each other confused. "Can we see her?" Stacie pipes in. The doctor unfortunately shakes his head. "Unfortunately it is only family for a couple of days until the concussion subsides." He replies, both girls physically dropping in enthusiasm. They both nod before turning to walk back to their seats.

"Can you please give Beca Mitchell's emergency contact… Warren Mitchell a call please and let him know about his daughter?" The doctor says to the nurse in the reception, Stacie hears his request and turns back. "Sorry did you say Warren Mitchell is Beca's father, as in Dr. Warren Mitchell of Barden University?" She asks. Chloe turning around now to find out what is going on. Stacie had seen Warren in her Comparative English lessons. She knew she had heard the name Warren somewhere before. "Yes, that is correct." The doctor says. Stacie tries to put the pieces together in her head. When she looked through Beca's phone she didn't see any contacts for her father or mother. It couldn't have been a coincidence that Warren was the name of the contact who sent the text before she was beaten and her father having the same name. "Don't let Warren Mitchell anywhere near his daughter, Beca had a text from him before all of this occurred, you say it wasn't stairs doctor, that's because it wasn't. Beca's father did this to her." Stacie points out making the receptionist's, doctor's and Chloe's eyes grow wide. "That is quite a serious allegation. Are you sure this information is correct? If so, we will have to call the police to assess this case of violence." The doctor counters. Stacie nods. "Hundred percent. Call them." Stacie replies confidently, Chloe places a hand on her shoulder as a sign to say she is backing her up. "Alright but unfortunately until this is confirmed we still have to call him and we can watch him around her closely." The doctor confirms, Stacie not happy with the response but still accepts it as she nods and moves back to the seats with Chloe.

"You really think this was her father?" Chloe asks. Stacie turns to her, half a glare on her face. "I've never been so sure of something in my life and I don't think this is the first time, remember the doctor saying something about scars on her back and stomach, I think that he did that too. I didn't know Dr. Mitchell, my Comparative English teacher was Beca's father. I didn't think to put the pieces together but in classes he had this vibe about him, creepy. He would always get to close to the girls or touch their hand, he did it to me a few times. Warren Mitchell is a creep." Stacie replies, crossing her arms over her chest. Chloe hears her phone ring and looks at it, Aubrey. "I have to take this, it's Aubrey." Chloe says as she stands up and leaves the waiting room and heads outside.

"Hi Aubrey." Chloe answers the phone. "Hi Chloe, is Beca okay?" Aubrey asks straight away which takes Chloe a little aback. "I didn't think you cared." Chloe replies harshly and the phone goes silent for a minute before Aubrey breaks the silence. "I care when people from my Bella's squad are getting beaten up." Aubrey says and Chloe's mouth turns up into a half smile. "We're at the hospital now, looks like a broken wrist, couple of fractured ribs, cuts and bruises everywhere and a concussion. Stacie thinks this was her father, remember Dr Mitchell in English?" Chloe asks, hearing the sharp intake of breath from Aubrey as she was explaining Beca's injuries. "Yeah Dr Creeper, he is Beca's father, jeez I do feel for her now. Why does Stacie think it was him?" She replies, Chloe grinning as she heard Aubrey admit she felt bad for Beca. "Well I told you a guy named Warren text her, well Dr Mitchell's first name is Warren and Beca didn't have a contact labelled Dad on her phone. Co-incidence?" Chloe adds. Aubrey confirms that it wasn't just co-incidence, it had to be him. "Just let the doctor know about the Bella's and find out how long it will be before she can come back. Also let her know the girls are thinking about her, I'll let them know what is happening tomorrow. I don't expect Stacie to be coming but if you can, could you come to rehearsals and help explain tomorrow?" Aubrey asks. Chloe nods into the phone. "Of course I can and I'll find out about how long Beca will be out for? I gotta go, her father will probably be here soon and I have to prepare for not beating the crap out of him." Chloe tries to lighten the mood. It works as she hears Aubrey chuckles on the end of the phone before the girls exchange goodbyes and hang up.

Oooohhh so the Bella's know! Little do they know that Warren is only a tiny bit of what is going on with Beca, they still don't know about her mother, Alex, the rapes since she was 8, the self-harm, the drugs, the voices or Tom yet. Never fear for the rest will be revealed soon.

Next chapter will hold a flashback that will be pretty hard to read and will start the story of Alex Mitchell. Then I'm thinking about doing a small time jump to when Beca is pretty much healed but I'm not sure yet.

Okay guys see you next chapter. Stay Beautiful Loveies.
