2 days later:

Chloe was sitting in her Comparative Literature class with Beca's dad funnily enough, thinking about how scared she was for the next day. Chloe was going to get the surgery done to have her nodes removed. She looks up when Stacie opens the classroom door.

"Miss Conrad, I'm currently in the middle of a class, can this wait?" Warren asks nicely with a small smile. However his smile drops when two police officers and the Dean of the University move in behind her. Stacie raised a finger and points to Warren.

"That's him." Stacie says as she turns and leaves the classroom without another word, Chloe watches in shock as the two police officers swarm on Warren.

"Warren Mitchell, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, anything you do say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you cannot provide an attorney, you will have one appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as I read them to you?" The officer reads out the Miranda rights to Warren whom agrees that he understands before they take him away. Chloe grabs her phone out immediately and texts Aubrey.

Chloe: Dr. Mitchell was just arrested! Should we tell Beca?

Chloe waits for a reply but doesn't receive one. The Dean announces that the class is over and for the students to return back to their dorms. Chloe's phone chimes as she heads into the courtyard, no one was around which was different, it meant everyone was in class. She looks at her phone and it's a reply from Aubrey.

Aubrey:I don't know, I saw them take him away in a cop car. Looks pretty serious. Hang on I see Stacie. I'll ask her.

Aubrey puts her phone back in her pocket before jogging up to meet Stacie's determined stride.

"Hey. What's going on? Chloe told me Beca's dad was arrested." Aubrey asks and Stacie doesn't say anything. Aubrey grabs Stacie's arm and pulls her to a halt.

"Stacie, Stop! What is going on?" Aubrey asks again in a half yell. Stacie rips her arm out of Aubrey's hold. Her mind fuming, it was Beca's father, Aubrey and Chloe who put Beca in that hospital bed. It was their fault that Beca was going to die. She had Aubrey's, Chloe's, The Bellas' and Jesse's letters from Beca in her bag but she was too angry to give them to all of their rightful owners. Tear brim her eyelids as she thinks of Beca dying and Aubrey notices, the blonde reaching out and taking Stacie's hand in hers only for Stacie to withdraw her hand.

"Let go of me!" She yells as she turns on her heel and walks away, leaving Aubrey shell-shocked. She feels a presence walk up behind her and sees the rest of the Bellas including Chloe.

"What was that about?" Chloe asks. Aubrey shrugs, her eyes never leaving her feet before glancing back in the direction Stacie walked away. She turns and walks in the opposite direction, leaving the Bellas to wonder what was happening.

"The group is falling apart." Fat Amy admits and they all drop their heads for a moment.

"We need Beca back." Jessica murmurs and all of the Bellas agree.

"Has anyone seen or heard from her?" Chloe asks quickly and all of the Bellas shake their heads. Chloe ponders for a moment where the short brunette could be.


The Next Day:

"Hey, so the doctor said that he is surprised that you are still alive, he also said people in comas can sometimes hear what visitors are saying to them so listen to me right now Beca Mitchell. You are not leaving me okay. You are not leaving me or the rest of the Bellas that do care about you. Fuck Chloe and fuck Aubrey, they are both graduating anyway. You and I will take over the Bellas and make them great, I promise. Just don't leave me okay babe." Stacie starts crying into Beca's comatose hand. She remembers back to the moment when they first got to know each other, Stacie waking up about the drunken initiation night to Beca singing. She remembers the song clearly because she had also heard it at the Barden radio station, Luke had played it a number of times after it attracted more listeners, Stacie heard it once and felt ecstatic for her best friend. She starts singing the song for the sleeping brunette.

In the night she hears him calling

In the night she's singing to relieve the pain

She'll never walk away

I don't think you understand

In the night when she comes crawling

Blame and guilt ridden tears keep falling down her face

She'll never walk away

I don't think you understand

He sang a song when he did it

He was cold and he was so unforgiving

Now she listens to the song on the minute

Yeah, all the time, all the time

It made her weak when she hear it

And it got her on her knees like religion

She was young and she was forced to be a woman

Yeah, all the time, all the time

The lyrics reel through her head as she sings them and she suddenly clicks as to what the song is about. It's about her father sexually abusing her. Stacie suddenly felt sick to the stomach, sick with guilt as she had heard the song thousands of times over when Beca played it in their room and she didn't even realize the truth behind the song. Now that she knew everything about Beca's past, it all fell into place like a completed puzzle. Everything about the brunette explained, her nightmares, her dissociation, the drug and alcohol abuse, the erratic behavior, her evasiveness to compassion and getting close to other people.

"Oh God Becs, you put the answer right in front of me and I didn't even know. I'm so sorry." Stacie squeezes Beca's hand that little bit harder for support, knowing Beca probably couldn't feel it. Stacie knew she had to tell the Bellas what had happened to Beca but she was so full of hate for the two captains, Chloe in particular. To go behind Beca's back and write a report that outlined Beca's past and study her like a dissected frog without her permission was way over the line in terms of privacy. She also knew it wasn't all the Bellas fault, Beca was already close to the edge of the cliff that dove into death from everything in her past, from her father to her mother to her brother. It was Aubrey's slicing words and Chloe's betrayal three nights ago that made Beca take the leap and that was why she hated them so much right now. She was tempted to open their letters and read them before resealing them and giving them to their addressed persons but Stacie was not Chloe and she was not going to breach the privacy Beca shared with someone else. Stacie stands up and goes to leave the room for another cup of coffee, making a total of seven that morning because she didn't sleep the night before when the machines around Beca start beeping, one screeching tone standing out above the others, Beca's heartrate. Stacie runs out the door and yells down the hallway.

"Somebody help!" She yells and two nurses with a doctor are in the room within seconds, one of the nurses escorting a panicking Stacie out of the room.

"Okay Miss Beale, the surgery went excellent. You can leave this afternoon, however you must rest your throat so limited talking and no singing for a few days. For a couple of weeks you will just feel like you have a sore throat when you talk or sing but it's perfectly normal. I'll go get the paperwork for your discharge sorted, and remember limited talking and no singing for at least three to four days." The surgeon explains to Chloe who sits in the hospital bed, beaming about the good news. She nods politely as he leaves. She looks at her phone and texts Aubrey.

Chloe: Surgery went well. Allowed to sing again in a few days. I'm on limited talking too which will be totes hard for me.

Aubrey:Good to hear, I still haven't been able to find Stacie to see if she is okay and work out what is going on?

Chloe: Well I tried checking on Beca yesterday after what happened with Stacie, maybe ask her what was going on but their dorm room was locked so she must have been out. I haven't seen Beca since Semis though, even in her classes.

Aubrey:I don't really care about Beca Chlo. She isn't a Bella anymore. She ruined our chance at Finals and then left. Stacie is still a Bella so I care about her wellbeing.

Chloe goes to respond, telling Aubrey off for saying the things she did about Beca but a yell echoes through the hospital.

"Somebody Help!" She hears and for a second she thought she recognized the voice but immediately dismissed it thinking it could have been anyone. Another text from Aubrey snaps her out of her thoughts. The text is on the Bella's group message.

Aubrey:Bellas Meeting, Tuesday 3pm. We have finals to prepare for in a month.

Chloe: Wait what?! We are back in! How?

Aubrey:That kid from Footnotes, wasn't in college, Benji found out he goes to JFK High School.

The group text blew up with messages from all the other Bella but Chloe notices Stacie hadn't said anything. She also notices that Beca isn't in the group message anymore by Aubrey's doing so Chloe decides to send her a quick text.

Chloe: Hey Becs, I don't know where you are but I thought you should know that Bellas are back in for Finals. There's a meeting on Tuesday at 3pm, you should come. I miss you :)

Chloe waits for a reply but nothing comes through.

"Miss Conrad?" Beca's doctor gently shakes the sleeping brunette's shoulder and she jolts awake, scared for a moment about where she was but remembered what happened and the nurse asking her to wait in the waiting room.

"Is Beca okay?" She asks quietly, rubbing her eyes, turns out she did need some sleep.

"She is stable for now but we don't know how long she will remain that way, she has a long way to go yet. The amount of pills she ingested should have easily killed her but she obviously had a small amount of fight left in her." The doctor replies, looking back toward Beca's room. He puts a comforting hand on Stacie's shoulder before sitting down beside her.

"Miss Conrad, we are still working on a liver donation that is a match but as Beca is a rare blood type. It is harder to find a compatible liver. I hate to say this as I am one for keeping the faith but I really think that you should be prepared for the worst. Everything in that girl's body keeps failing. Liver, Kidney, that time was a problem with her lung. I need you to read these forms over as her next of kin and if you have any questions, please come ask." The doctor says before standing up and leaving. Stacie looks down at the forms she was handed, 'ORGAN DONATION' and that was enough to send Stacie to tears. Stacie opens her new phone that she had to buy because she broke the other one. She notices a group message from the Bellas.

Aubrey: Bellas Meeting, Tuesday 3pm. We have finals to prepare for in a month.

Chloe: Wait what?! We are back in! How?

Aubrey: That kid from Footnotes, wasn't in college, Benji found out he goes to JFK High School.

After that was an onslaught of texts from the other Bellas. Stacie doesn't reply but decides not to go, she needed to be there for her best friend and make sure she kept fighting. She needed Beca to know that she had someone and something worth fighting for. Stacie moves back into Beca's room and sits in the seat next to the shorter brunette's bed. She notices Beca's phone is flashing and checks it. Another text from Chloe.

Chloe: Hey Becs, I don't know where you are but I thought you should know that Bellas are back in for Finals. There's a meeting on Tuesday at 3pm, you should come. I miss you :)

Stacie deletes the message and puts Beca's phone back. She notices that somehow Beca looked even paler than before. She was become Edward Cullen white without the stupid sparkling. Stacie puts her head down, livid at Chloe for even claiming to miss Beca. 'She just misses her frog to dissect.' She says to herself, she notices the letters in her bag below her and thinks for a minute. 'Maybe they need to realize what the outcome was of what that did. Make them regret it.' Stacie suggests to herself and then decides to go to the Bellas meeting where she was going to open the gates of hell on the two captains, especially a particular redhead.


Oooooooo it's about to get good. Hehehehehe, I know Chloe isn't in this chapter as much but she will a big part in the rest of the story and I know Stacie is becoming a main but you guys need to remember, Stacie found her best friend nearly dead, she is a little traumatized and as you can tell, furious with Aubrey and Chloe so why should she tell them. Well now she found a reason and next chapter, as it says Stacie will let a rip on the two captains.

Told you Stacie was going to become like a sister to Beca. I did do time jumps so the two have spent a lot of time together, I mean they share a dorm room. Personally I love Stacie though, she's so protective and willing to do anything for Beca. It's adorable.

So I reckon this story will reach about maybe 40 chapters then I'm starting my next one then I may do a sequel to this.

So… Will Beca live? Will Stacie tell Chloe that Beca knows about the thesis and blame Chloe for Beca ODing? What will Chloe do if she finds out? How will Aubrey and the rest of the Bellas feel when they find out about Beca? Will Stacie tell them the whole story of Beca's past even though Beca asked for it not to be shared? Will Chloe still hand in the thesis?

All questions will be answered in the next 2-3 chapters.
