The Bellas were sitting in the dressing room getting ready for their gig. Chloe was, once again, pacing. She was so worried this might be the last performance of the Barden Bellas, ever.

Beca was surprisingly upbeat but she blamed the braids.

Her and Chloe never talked about what happened the previous night. Mostly because Chloe wanted to give Beca the space she needed because it seemed like Beca was going through some hard times, probably related to her sexuality.

So Chloe decided Beca would come to her (or not, apparently) when she was ready, she wasn't gonna push her.

When they were on, Beca was so confused, she'd rehearsed this with them but she knew this wasn't her arrangement, this wasn't one of her songs. This was a really weird arrangement. Sure, it was good, but she could've done better.

Everything was going… bad. It was going really bad, especially when they brought on the props (which made Beca realize they were a bad, bad idea) and then something went wrong with Fat Amy, Flo, Emily and Cynthia Rose and that resulted in the later accidentally lighting herself on fire.

They stopped what they were doing and Beca ran her fingers through her hair with a heavy sigh. Chloe's eyes were desperate, she was so sure this would work. She was so sure this would be a step towards redemption but the girls were a mess. Probably because one of their captains was barely home and the other had to do everything on her own.

Chloe was in tears by the time they went back to the bus and headed back to Barden. Nobody said anything, except the girls started blaming each other. Chloe wanted to yell at Beca for not caring that her a cappella group (in which she was a captain by the way) seemed to be falling apart. But for some odd, unknown (actually very known) reason, she didn't. She kept quiet.

Chloe just stood up and tried to seem upbeat and announced they were going on a retreat as she remembered her blonde best friend told her about through the phone. Yeah, maybe a retreat was all the Bellas needed.

oO0Oo

The retreat was still far away and the Bellas had no more gigs, so Chloe talked to the Bellas about song suggestions they could sing so later they could show them to Beca so she could work on an arrangement.

The brunette captain was (surprise, surprise!) away. God knows where because it had already passed dinner time and she hadn't shown her ass in the house since 2 pm. Let's just say the Bellas were starting to get pretty worried.

"Do you think maybe we could.. I don't know start with.. I don't know but not singing, not using our mouths just probably clapping, snapping our fingers or just using our bodies?" Stacie asked. "Like give the crowd that feeling of 'what happens next?' instead of starting big."

Chloe nodded.

"I think we could do that and begin with Run The World." Chloe said.

Stacie nodded with a smile. Her phone rang once in her pocket and she looked to see who it was. A guy, probably one of her hookups, sent a text about a frat party that was going on and it was wild.

Stacie showed Chloe the message with a 'what do you think?' look.

"I normally would be against it, but I think we deserve a break." Chloe said.

Stacie smiled huge as Chloe shut her laptop.

"I'm gonna get the girls." Stacie said and ran upstairs in excitement.

Within 30 minutes, they were all out the door and heading to the frat house. Stacie and Chloe leading the girls and the redhead couldn't help but think how she wished Stacie was her co-captain, not Beca, because the taller brunette was being a much bigger help than Beca lately.

When they arrived in their destination, there were people in the front yard, backyard. There was so many people there and the music was so loud!

They made their way inside and Stacie quickly found the guy who texted her and disappeared with him.

The other girls didn't know what to do so they just grabbed some drinks and tried to dance in the middle of the crowd.

Chloe was actually enjoying herself. She felt like she needed a break from the stress she was going through. She tried not to think about Beca and how she was making her so mad.

It seemed like the brunette always found a way back to her mind though because when Chloe was going to the upstairs bathroom (the other was locked) she opened the door to find Beca on the sink, making out and, by the looks of it, having sex with some random guy. She was wearing a skirt so Chloe couldn't see anything, but by the hips movement and by the grunting (from the guy), they were definitely doing it.

They didn't seem to notice her because the guy grabbed Beca's ass and started thrusting faster.

Chloe just froze and let a choked sob escape her lips, getting the attention from the couple.

Beca's eyes widened and she held the guy closer to her body, as if to cover herself, even though she wasn't naked.

"Chloe, what the fuck!" Beca said, angry.

"So that's what you've been doing this whole time?! Frat guys!" Chloe screamed.

"Chloe would you fucking leave? This is none of your business!" Beca said. "Stop stalking me! Leave me the fuck alone!"

Instead of fighting back in this awkward situation, Chloe just slammed the door and went downstairs, hiding the tears from her eyes.

The Bellas noticed them though but she shook it off and they decided to go to the backyard to sit down and cool off a little bit.

"Maybe we should kick her out?" Jessica asked.

"She hasn't been a captain lately." Ashley agreed.

"No. There is something wrong with her, she doesn't normally act like this." Chloe said. "If we push her away now, we'll lose her and then we're never gonna get through to her."

The Bellas thought about it and agreed. The redhead was right, Beca was pushing them away but if they did the same, they'd lose her. And if she continued going down that road, they'd probably lose her forever.

About an hour later, the said DJ showed up, looking so weird. She was a mess, her hair was out of place, she was sweaty, there was some liquid running down her bare thighs (which the girls didn't have to guess to know what it was), she looked drunk but her eyes were bloodshot and she kept sniffing.

She didn't seem to recognize the Bellas or remember what happened upstairs, she just laughed and attached her arm to a guy's neck, who wasn't the guy she was having sex with in the bathroom. Then another guy joined them and they kept kissing her ears or biting her neck, but she kept giggling and pushing them away. They then kept pulling her skirt up while she pushed their hands away, laughing. She sat down on the floor and giggled at them. One of them laid on top of her and started kissing her while the other complained about getting some action too.

The Bellas were utterly confused, the DJ never acted like that, and by the looks of it, she had tried many drugs, her nose started bleeding a little bit, which made her laugh and sit up. Both guys had their hands up her skirt.

Chloe stood up and walked over to them, shaking in fear.

"Beca?" She asked.

Beca looked at her and sniffed again, wiping the blood from her nose.

"Dude who are you?" She asked.

"I'm Chloe, dude." Chloe said. "Come on, let's get home."

"You need to leave me alone, dude!" Beca said, though she was giggling.

"It's gonna be okay, Beca, let's go home." Chloe said.

"No." Beca said laughing. "I wanna stay and have sex with these two gentlemen."

Chloe bit her lips to try and stop her tears. Not that it was working.

"Okay." She said weakly and turned around.

The Bellas offered Chloe a hug and they all headed home. Beca's situation was more terrifying than they thought.
