Chapter 37
Beca's POV
"Wake up, wake up, wake up." Chloe is almost jumping in the bed and I groan at the movement. "Let me sleep, please." Of course she will ignore me completely. "It's the finals today, we have to get ready." I open one eye to check the time. "It's 7 am, we don't have to be ready until 2pm." I try to cover my head but Chloe rips off the blanket. I start shivering because of the heat loss. "Babe, it's cold. Give me that blanket." I can hear her laugh and she shifts on the bed. Suddenly I feel a weight on top of me. "Babe get off, I want to sleep." I try to wiggle out but fail, she has me pinned down. "Come on baby don't be like that." She kisses me and starts to move down my neck. I moan softly but she pulls away and gets off of me. "We can finish this when we win." She gets up and goes to the bathroom. "You're such a tease." I shout behind her but she ignores me completely. I think about joining her but push that thought out when I think of where we are.
I get up and go down to the kitchen where I see Sylvia making breakfast. "Let me guess, she woke you up?" Sylvia gives me a cup of coffee and sits next to me. "Yeah, she's very excited about the finals today." I take a little sip because it's too hot. "Don't be mad at her." I chuckle. "I could never…" I stay silent for a bit. "Sylvia, can I ask you something?" She hums. "Do you think I make Chloe happy?" I hear a spoon scatter on the table. "Why would you think you don't? Is everything alright?" She gives me a scared look. "Everything is alright but I … I need to make a decision about LA and I don't want to hurt Chloe. She means the world to me and the only thing I want is to make her happy." I now stare at my coffee and don't look up. "She would want you to pursue your dream…" I sigh. "That's what I'm scared off, I'm scared that if I leave she'll wake up one day and realize she can do better than me." I feel an arm around me. "Don't worry about that, she love you and you love her. If someone can make a long-distance relationship work it's you." I look up and see Sylvia smiling at me. "You should still talk to Chloe about this, she has to know about your feelings."
Chloe's POV
I'm standing behind the door listening to the conversation between Beca and my mom. I had no idea she felt this way. Never in my life would I dream of breaking up with Beca. An idea comes to mind but it will have to wait until later. First I get myself in check and open the door. "Good morning." I try to sound as optimistic as I can. "Good morning, you want some coffee?" I nod and my mom gets up. I take a seat next to Beca and I take her hand. "I love you, you know that right?" I give her kiss on the cheek and let it linger for a bit. "I do, and I love you too babe." I snuggle my head into the crook of her neck. My mind wandering to y plan of showing Beca how much I love her.
Since everyone's parents are coming to the show tonight we all go separately. My impatience growing by the minute because we're running late. "Come on, we're going to be late." Beca comes down and has two bags in her hands. "You forgot your clothes." She gives me a little smirk. Not long after my parents and brothers are at the door with us and we head to the cars. "James, you drive the girls. We will follow." We all get into our respective cars and start driving. Beca puts in one earplug and hands me the second one. "Relax, everything is going to be great." I take it and we listen to music until we get to the centre.
"Aubrey, calm down… Chloe can you stop pacing?" Beca is trying to keep everything under control and neither Aubrey nor I are any help. "Amy, stop flirting and come join the group… Lilly, what are you doing with those kni… I don't want to know." We're in a dressing and everyone is scattered around in the hallway. "That's it! Everyone inside now!" I hear Beca shout and surely everyone comes inside. "Alright, I know we're all nervous but we got this. We've been working really hard and we have it all down. Whatever happens tonight we will have tried our best. I'm not going to admit this easily but this has been the best year of my life. I don't care about winning or losing, I care about us having fun. That's what I'll remember for the rest of my life." No dares to move as long Beca is talking. "She's right, win or lose we just have to have some fun." Aubrey gets up and seems to have gotten her color back in her face. I see her hand something to Beca but not what it is. "A… are you sure?" The tall blond nods. "You deserve this, you make us better as a group and also you are the only one that kept her cool when everyone else was freaking out." That last part makes everyone chuckle. "I love you awesome nerds." I can see Beca roll her eyes but opens her arms. "Group hug!" Amy shouts and everyone jumps on Beca almost crushing her.
Jesse's POV
We just finished our set and like always the crowd went wild. I have a very good feeling about it. We take our seats in the audience and wait for the Bellas who are the last performance of the night. "They're up." I feel Benji nudges me in the side. I look at the stage and see the Bellas getting into formation. Their style has changed and I have no doubt Beca has something to do with it. I look at Aubrey and wait for to count down but am pleasantly surprised that Beca is the one with the pitch pipe. " 1…2…3…4" The Bellas start singing. It starts of slow and honestly a bit boring. Then Lilly picks up the pace and my face drops ten stories. "Wow…" The girls were amazing, after the performance they all hug in excitement. Chloe even kisses Beca. The crowd is going wild.
"Alright, the judges have decided on the winner for this year's ICCA's…. the winners are THE BARDEN BELLAS!" I cheer as loud as I can. Even though we came second I couldn't be happier for the girls on the stage. I see them waving us over and we join them in the celebration. I nudge Donald and point at Beca. We walk over to her and pick her up. She lets out a squeal and a laugh. We keep on celebrating for a while and then get changed into normal clothes.
Chloe's POV
We head outside laughing and singing. "We did it, and it's all thanks to you Beca." I'm surprised to hear those words coming from Aubrey. "No, we all did it together." The smile and hug quickly. I get pushed out the door by Fat Amy and hear Beca shouting. "Chloe, I'll see you in a minute. I'm going to check on Jesse." I follow the group towards all of our parents. My face drops when I see Jesse standing with his parents. "Jesse, where is Beca?" He gives me a confused look. "I thought she was with you?" I feel panic rising in my body. "She told me she was going to check on you… shit!" I run back to the entrance to look for Beca but she's nowhere to be found. "Where is she? She couldn't have disappeared." All the Bellas, Treblemakers and parents are with me looking for Beca. I try calling her but it keeps going to voicemail. We keep looking until I see a bracelet on the ground. I let out a scream and everyone runs towards me. "That's Beca's, she always wears it." I want to pick it up but stop when I see a red substance on it. "Noooo…" Jesse pulls me away into my brothers arms. "She's going to be alright, we will find her." Mary calls 911 and we all wait for them to arrive. With every minute passing I cry even more.
