A/N: So . . . I got inspired and decided to put up two chapters today. Thank you all for your continuous support of this fic.
I do not own Pitch Perfect.
Chloe's POV
Chloe,
Have I ever told you that you have the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen? Whenever I look up at the skies, I always remember you. And it never fails to calm me down. Your fiery mane of red hair is so beautiful, and I love running my fingers through it. It also makes you stand out, makes you unique against a sea of brunette, black and blonde haired people. Even your personality stands out. You have no sense of personal space. You're always optimistic and bubbly and happy. You're like a big ball of sunshine that always shines and shares its happiness with me. I love your eyes, I love your hair, and I love your personality. I love everything about you. I love you. So, so much.
I knew from the moment I laid eyes on you. And within the span of a few weeks, you made me fall for you so hard that I am afraid I can no longer fall out of love with you. That's why it crushed me when Stacie, Jessica and I found out that you and Aubrey were only using us to get your boyfriends back and to help Kayla with her revenge. Yes, we already knew. We were at that pizza parlor when you guys talked about the progress of your plan.
It hurt so much but the thought of losing you in my life was more painful so I told Stacie that we had to pretend that we didn't know. So, for a while, we pretended. But I couldn't face you without breaking down, that's why I avoided you. I couldn't avoid you for so long. Seeing you were both heaven and hell for me. I loved seeing your face, your smile, your bright blue eyes, your fiery hair and I loved hearing your voice, but at the same time, it was hurting me because I knew that you could never be mine.
So, when Stacie said that she was leaving the state, I decided to go with her. We'll be gone for a year or two, to sort ourselves out. I want to move on Chlo but I know that I'll never really be able to move on from you. But, when I can handle seeing you be happy with him – even though it'll still hurt – I will go back to Barden. And maybe, when you're still there, we could be friends again? I meant it when I said that I couldn't take it if I lost you in my life so if I have to settle with being friends, I will. Because that's how much I love you.
I'm hurting Chloe, but I don't hate you. I could never hate you. Always remember that. I love you Red. Always take care of yourself. Until we meet again.
Beca
My tears were already flowing down my cheeks when I finished reading the letter. With shaking hands, I held it against my heart before folding it again and placing it back inside the envelope. I put it under my pillow as I stood up on shaky legs to reach my closet where I pulled out an old and worn down gray hoodie that still smelt like vanilla and something uniquely Beca and I put it on before curling up in bed in a fetal position, crying myself to sleep. I love you too Beca, I'm so, so sorry.
Aubrey's POV
I couldn't bring myself to open the envelope at first. I was afraid of what I would read inside. After minutes of pacing the room and pulling at my hair repeatedly, I went to my closet and pulled out the yellow sweatshirt that Stacie gave me months ago as a gift and put it on. I saw this at the mall when Beca and I went shopping and it reminded me of your blonde hair Bree. I couldn't help the tears that fell from my eyes at that memory.
Finally, I was able to sit down at my bed again and tear the envelope open. I pulled the letter out and with shaking fingers, I began to read. The contents have done nothing but break my heart.
Hey Aubrey,
I know that you don't like me that much right now, but at least give me a chance to explain myself. Let me tell you of my side of the story. Just, keep reading please. After that, I won't be bothering you anymore.
I met Kayla during my sophomore year of high school. Our first bonding activity? Stargazing at a party. That's the start of our friendship. We grew close as time passed by and Kayla, together with Beca warned me about her, telling me of what she has done to Jessica. I refused to believe that because she was already an important friend to me. But, I failed to notice that she has fallen in love with me.
I wasn't capable of falling in love and romance at that time Bree, because a year earlier, my heart was so fucked up because of my first girlfriend. She hurt me so badly that I swore off relationships. That's when I started sleeping around. I made sure that there were no feelings attached because I was too emotionally unavailable and I didn't want to hurt my partner's feelings. And I swore never to sleep with my friends.
What happened between Kayla and I was a huge mistake. We were both drunk at a party and I don't remember the happenings that night but I remember waking up naked next to an equally naked Kayla. That's when she confessed her feelings for me. I loved her, but in a more platonic way so I rejected her. I couldn't lead her on. But to this day, I regret hurting her.
That's what really happened. I don't expect you to believe me, but thank you for giving me the chance to explain myself. And I also have another thing to tell you. I love you Aubrey. From the first moment I saw you. And I'll keep loving you until I breathe my dying breath. I have always been honest with you Bree. Every dream, fear and expectations I had that I shared with you are true. I can never lie to you.i know this confession may make you hate me even more but I had to do it.
When we were spending time together, I really thought you were already falling for me too. I really thought we had that special connection. I believed that you were different from all of those people who hurt me. They only used me Aubrey. They didn't have any regards for my feelings. They thought I was simply a dumb slut who likes to sleep around. I believed that you were different from them.
And then, we found out about your plans with Kayla at that pizza parlor. I was so crushed back then. I honestly didn't know what to do. Beca suggested that we pretend that we don't know your secret to not lose you and Chloe in our lives. I agreed because I really didn't want to lose you. But when I saw you and Luke at the park and I saw you kiss him, I knew that I wouldn't be able to keep on pretending. So, I decided to leave and Beca wanted to come with me. By now, we're most probably out of the state already.
I'll try my best to move on, although it seems really impossible. But you don't have to worry, I'm not going to get in between your relationship with Luke because if he is the one who makes you happy, I'll be happy as well. Your happiness is what matters most to me Aubrey. And, when I come back to Barden and you're still there, I hope that we can be friends again.
Always remember that I care so deeply for you and that I love you with every fiber of my being. Always take care of yourself Aubrey and don't stress out on things too much.
Love,
Stacie
