A/N: Oh my gosh, guys. I am so sorry this took so long to get out. I haven't had much motivation to write at all. You all were amazing with all your reviews last chapter, so I promise it has nothing to do with you. I just think it's because it's March and, like explained last chapter, I have a really tough time with this time of the year considering all I have dealt with in past years. I am so so so sorry.

The favorite review for last chapter has got to go to S.A.G-909. Your review made me feel pretty good about myself and my writing. I'm sorry it's taken so long for this update. Hopefully, this chapter will make up for it. To answer your questions; Yes, of course, there will be cute Bechloe bits. :) I can't really say if Jesse and Aubrey get back together because I haven't made it clear on whether he is her real soulmate or not. Sorry. There will be other Bellas, but not until a bit later. This is obviously going to be a very long fic. The rating may go back up to M later on, but it just depends on how the story continues to develop.

I'm surprised at how many of you agree on what Beca's side will be. Again, I am so sorry about not updating. I've just been having a really hard time. As always, I love you all! - Fox

(I will say that this chapter is borderline M, if not M)

Chloe Beale was someone different. Beca had pushed everyone away, with the exception of Fat Amy, but no matter what she did, she just could not shake the older woman away. The day after her breakdown, Chloe stayed with her for hours. The next day, Chloe invited her over to her apartment since Aubrey was out doing some last minute things. They just talked, allowing Beca to open up to the other woman. She still didn't say everything, but she did open up a little. The brunette talked about where she used to live and what her mom was like. She talked about her old friends and what she used to do before moving in with her dad.

She told Chloe about her parents divorce and how she hated her father. How he left for her step-monster, getting a laugh at the nickname Beca had given Sheila. She talked about why she got so upset when Chloe had said he treated his students like his own kids when she barely got any attention until she had to be there.

"Becs, I'm sure there's a reason for that," Chloe tried to reason, "He is the leader of the Dark, after all. He's got a lot of responsibility and troublemakers to deal with."

That's when Beca stiffened. How could Chloe be defending the man that caused her so much heartache? He was the reason for her mother's death. He was the reason for all her unhappiness as a child. The DJ closed up, "Okay."

Chloe noticed the abrupt change and knew something was wrong, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" she asked, panic clearly on her face.

Beca just looked down, "No, I'm fine."

"I know that fine doesn't mean fine when it comes from you, Beca. Please, tell me what I did," Chloe looked at her.

"How could you possibly know that? We have known each other for what? Two maybe three weeks? You don't know anything about me," Beca said a little more harshly than she intended. She knew there was no taking it back now. The younger woman stood up, "I'm gonna go."

"Beca, wait, please," Chloe grabbed her wrist, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you in any way."

The smaller woman ripped her arm away, "Whatever." With that, she left.

That was a few days ago and Beca had ignored Chloe for that long successfully. She'd gone to her classes and went straight back to her dorm, ignoring every call and text the redhead sent. Beca was regretting every second of it, but she knew it was for the best. Her thoughts of keeping her distance from the older woman returned and decided that her outburst was just the start of it. Once she chose a side, she could finally talk to the other woman. If she chose Light, that is.

Her mind was full of thoughts of choosing sides. She wanted to do good with her powers so she could talk to Chloe. So she could be with Chloe. Beca was head over heels for the woman, but she knew they couldn't be together if she chose Dark, no matter how hard they tried. She closed her eyes and shook the thought from her head. She really didn't want to think about it.

While the DJ was in her bed listening to music, Fat Amy was trying to tell her something. She obviously couldn't hear due to the volume. Eventually, Fat Amy was frustrated and threw a pillow at the brunette, receiving a glare, "Dude, what the hell?" Beca frowned, removing her headphones.

"I've been trying to ask you if you want to come to the Activities Fair with me," Amy replied, "And I'm not taking no for an answer so get your scrawny ass up."

"No," Beca challenged her.

"Come on, Beca. You haven't been out of this dorm other than your classes for almost a week," the blonde sighed.

"And I'd like to keep it that way," the petite woman said as she began to put her headphones back in.

Amy grabbed her wrist, dragging her out of the bed, "You're coming whether you like it or not, Vader. I'll carry you if I have to."

Beca groaned, "Why do I have to go?" She knew the blonde was serious about carrying her if she had to.

"Because, you can find stuff that could do with DJ's or maybe a job or something. Anything to get you out of this depressing room," Amy said, dragging her out of the room.

The brunette sighed heavily, "Fine, but once I find one thing, I'm coming back to the dorm."

Fat Amy rolled her eyes, "Whatever." They walked around the campus, looking for something interesting. Amy spotted a stand that said Barden DJ's and pointed, "Lookie there, Vader. What'd I tell ya?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Beca rolled her eyes. As they approached the stand, they quickly learned that DJ actually stood for 'Deaf Jews.' Seriously, how many deaf Jews were on this campus? Certainly not enough to make an entire club out of it.

Amy sighed, "Well, that was a bummer."

Beca just rolled her eyes, "I'm just gonna go look at this radio thing or whatever it is," she said, walking over to another station. She picked up a paper and quickly made her way back to Amy, "Okay, I participated. Can I go back to the dorm now?"

"Nope," Amy replied, dragging her along.

Chloe spotted them from her spot at the Bellas station. Practically no one was coming due to Aubrey's little episode the year before. She knew Beca had said she would try out, but the brunette wasn't speaking to her. 'Well...it's worth a shot...' she thought as she called out to them, "Beca! Amy!"

The DJ looked up at the sound of her name being called by the familiar voice. She just frowned while Amy grinned, "Let's go over there, Becs."

"No, absolutely not," Beca tried to pull away from her to no avail. If she wouldn't have known any better, Beca would have thought the Austrailian's had was made of steel. There was no way she could get away and as they were nearing the Bellas station, she let her thoughts scream out so Chloe could hear them.

'Please just leave me alone. I don't want to deal with this right now. I'll take a flyer, but let me go,' she thought, refusing to look at the redhead.

Chloe heard, but she decided to ignore the younger woman, "Hey guys, any interest in joining our a cappella group?"

Fat Amy finally let Beca's wrist go and took a flyer, "Sounds pretty fun."

The brunette shot her friend a glare, rubbing her wrist, "Sounds pretty lame to me."

Chloe looked at Beca with a sad expression, "Can I talk to you, please?"

"Not right now, Chloe," Beca sighed.

The redhead didn't listen, grabbing the smaller woman's wrist and dragging her over to a secluded spot.

"Seriously, what's with people and dragging me around today," Beca huffed.

"Why haven't you been answering me?" Chloe turned around abruptly to confront her.

Beca nearly ran into the taller woman, "I just don't want to talk right now, okay?"

"I'm not taking that for an answer, Becs," the ginger crossed her arms.

"Listen, Chloe. You don't know much about my life, okay? So trying to say something like you did was not okay," Beca sighed.

"I didn't mean it like that, Beca, and you know it!"

"Chloe, I can't do this right now, alright?"

"Are you at least going to try out for the Bellas?"

"No, I'm not. I've got too much going on right now with this whole side choosing thing and everything. I don't need something else stressing me out."

"Beca, you said you would! You promised!"

"No, I didn't I said I would, but if I changed my mind then you couldn't force me too. This is me changing my mind. I have too much on my plate. I can't even sing anyways."

"Fine," Chloe said looking at the ground. It killed Beca to see such a hurt expression on the redhead's face, especially since it was caused by her.

Beca turned around to see that Amy was gone. She shook her head and muttered, "Unbelievable," before leaving to go back to the dorm.

It had been a while. A couple weeks maybe? Beca didn't know. She couldn't keep track of time when all she could think about was Chloe. She missed the redhead but knew that there wasn't any way that she could go back to her without admitting she was wrong and Beca Mitchell didn't admit she was wrong.

She got a job at the local radio station and saw Jesse once again. Their boss, Luke, told them the basic rules, including the "no sex on the desk" rule. Beca just chuckled and gave a comment about not having to worry about it since she was gay. They didn't really talk much, but when they did, he usually initiated the conversation. She wasn't one for talking to strangers. Unless it was Chloe...there she goes, thinking about Chloe again. 'I need to get this girl out of my head,' she thought.

However, on this particular day, she was interested in something. She remembered that he was in love with Aubrey and asked him what he could do to try to be with her.

"There's not really anything I can do. I mean, we could have snuck around or something like that, but she doesn't want to break any rules. It was something I used to admire about her, but now it's coming between us. All I want is to be with her, you know?" he answered.

Beca nodded, not really saying much else. She just continued to stack CD's.

Later that night, she decided she was going to take a late shower. She really didn't want to have to deal with other people and not many people go to take a shower at one in the morning. She walked into the stall and turned the water on, quietly singing a few words of Titanium by David Guetta. Well, she wasn't really singing, more humming and saying a few words until she got more comfortable, eventually singing the words.

She wasn't really paying attention and didn't hear the rustling of the curtain behind her due to her voice and the running of the water before she heard a familiar voice once again, "You can sing!"

Beca whipped around, throwing her arms over herself to hide her body, "DUDE!" she quickly pulled the curtain shut.

Chloe opened the curtain instantly, "How high does your belt go?" she asked, reaching over to turn the water off.

"My what? Oh my God," Beca was horrified that this was happening. She was naked in front of a naked Chloe Beale, 'Don't look, don't look, don't look. Shit...don't think, don't think don't think.'

"You have to audition for the Bellas," Chloe stood there like nothing was wrong. This girl seriously had no sense of boundaries.

The DJ continued to try to look away, "I can't concentrate on anything you're saying until you cover your junk."

"Just consider it," she said as Beca pulled the curtain to cover her body. This girl was acting like they haven't been fighting for a couple weeks. Well, more Beca was ignoring her like she did to everyone else, but that was becoming increasingly difficult as the redhead was standing there completely naked, "One time we sang backup for Prince. His butt is so tiny that I could hold it with, like, one hand." she knocked a bottle from Beca's hands, "Oops."

The brunette quickly picked it up and turned around, "Seriously, I am nude."

"You were singing Titanium, right?" Chloe asked.

This caused Beca to smile a bit and turn her head to look at the older woman, "You know David Guetta?"

"Have I been living under a rock? Yeah," the redhead replied, "That song is my jam...my lady jam," she said with a smirk.

Beca turned her head again to face the wall, "That's nice." This was awful. Well, not really awful considering an extremely hot redhead was naked and in the shower with her, but it was still embarrassing. Beca tried not to think about anything other than 'Get out.'

"It is. That song really builds," she said with a wink.

The shorter woman grimaced, "Gross," she whispered.

"Can you sing it for me?" Chloe asked.

Beca looked at her again with a more horrified expression, "Dude, no! Get out!"

"Not for that reason," the ginger quickly replied, "I'm not leaving her 'til you sing, so..." She stood there confidently.

Beca just looked at her for a second before Chloe sighed. The brunette couldn't believe she was actually going to have to do this. She slowly turned around, making sure to cover herself and looked away from the redhead. As she sang, her eyes shifted from Chloe's captivating eyes and anywhere else she could look other than her body. As soon as Chloe started to sing with her, their eyes locked.

The DJ couldn't lie, they sounded great together. As they continued to sing, Beca began to relax. As quickly as it started, though, it ended. Chloe smiled and the smaller woman gave her a grin before glancing down, 'Damn' she looked at the ceiling and brought her lips inside her mouth.

"Oh, yeah. I'm pretty confident about," Chloe moved her hands to gesture her body, "all this," she whispered the last bit.

"You should be," Beca replied without thinking.

There was an awkward pause between the two before the taller woman said,"Oh," and turned around to hand Beca a towel with a grin. She glanced down at Beca, "I know what you were thinking.

"Dude, stay out of my head," she said, covering herself with the towel.

Chloe giggled, "It's funny, though. You always get so flustered."

"Yeah, well, you're naked so..." Beca refused to look at her. She could feel the blush creeping on her cheeks.

"So are you," Chloe said, taking a step closer.

Beca just turned away from her, "Can I just shower now, please? Alone?"

"You don't have to be so self-conscious, you know? You're hot, Becs," Chloe whispered into her ear.

Beca's eyes widened, "What?"

"You heard me," Chloe said with a wink.

The brunette turned her head to look into those bright blue eyes again. She was trying to find any hint of dishonesty in them. She couldn't find anything, "You really think that?"

"No," Chloe responded, causing Beca's face to fall, "I know that," she quickly added.

Beca shook her head with a smile, "You really don't know anything about boundaries, do you?" she asked, changing the subject.

"Well, I know about them, but I don't really respect them when I'm close to someone," Chloe grinned.

"You considered us close within two weeks, then?" she asked.

Chloe nodded, "When I saw you, I felt this click. Like everything was okay. I was told in that moment, that's when you know you found your soulmate. Even without knowing you, even with only having just met you, I knew we would be close."

Beca smiled again. Damn this girl could make her broody-self smile. Chloe was basically the only one who could over and over again, "That's really sweet. Chlo. Odd enough I felt it too."

"Really?" the redhead asked excitedly.

The DJ nodded. After a moment of thinking, she spoke once again, "I'm sorry, Chlo."

"For what?" Chloe asked with her head slightly tilted to the side. She was very much like a puppy.

"For ignoring you and everything. I know you weren't trying to hurt me. I just was thinking about this whole sides thing and I didn't want to end up on the wrong side. I really want to be with you. I just know that we can't right now and I have to choose a side first. I didn't want to get close just to have to let you go."

"So you aren't going to break rules if you end up with the Dark?" Chloe asked, tears already pooling in her eyes.

"That's not what I meant!" Beca quickly said, dropping her towel. She went over to hug Chloe, honestly forgetting they were naked. Her eyes widened and her face turned cherry red as soon as she felt Chloe's skin on hers, "S-sorry-" she started. She had pushed herself back but accidentally used her powers once again. Chloe was falling. 'Oh no.' She reached her arms out and pulled Chloe up before the older woman hit the ground and their bodies were flush together, much like the first time they met, "I-I..." Beca started, about to push away again. Chloe didn't let her, however, as she brought their lips together in a passionate kiss.

The redhead's hands reached around Beca's neck, pulling them closer together. Beca stood frozen for a second, her mind not processing what was happening. After a second, she was able to move her hands to the ginger's hips. Chloe pushed Beca's back against the wall. The smaller girl let out a small squeak of surprise before Chloe pulled away and started laughing.

"W-what?" Beca asked, staring at the older woman.

"You...that noise...you're cute," Chloe said between fits of laughter.

Beca's jaw dropped as she pushed Chloe away, "I'm not cute, I'm a badass." she crossed her arms. Chloe just continued to laugh, "Get out, Beale. I need to take a shower. It's like two in the morning."

The redhead finally controlled her laughter for a moment to give Beca a quick peck on the cheek, "Okay, I'll see you later," she said before glancing back down at the brunette and quickly leaving so Beca couldn't give a response.

Beca shook her head with a chuckle.

This girl is unbelievable.
