Wicked Games
Here Beca was in her best friends' room at two in the morning once again feeling down about a certain redhead.
"Come on B, why don't you just forget about her already." Stacie said as she sat next to Beca.
Beca looked up at her "Don't you think I've tried that Stace? I've tried so many fucking times already but no matter what I do it doesn't work."
Stacie wrapped an arm around her shoulders "I know but this isn't doing you any good."
Chloe had gone out another date tonight and still hadn't come back which only meant one thing. And Beca being madly in love with the redhead couldn't handle this anymore.
"I know this Stace. It's not easy ok, I've been in love with this girl for the past year and I can't just get over it like that. Trust me I wish I could." Beca said leaning into the taller girl.
"Have you talked to her? About all this?" Stacie asked as she rested her head against Beca's.
Beca nodded "Twice actually. First time was during CR's birthday last year and she said she didn't feel the same. Second was after when we first got back this year."
"Really? What did she say?" Stacie asked.
"She just said that she doesn't see me that way. I'll always be her best friend and that she'll love me deeply." Beca said sadly.
"I'm sorry B. She's really shitty if you ask me." Stacie said.
"Why do you say that?" Beca asked moving her head to look at Stacie in the eyes.
"Because of the way she is with you. All the hand holding and hugs she gives you. The constant flirting, I mean everyone can see that. She always acts like she's attracted to you and wants you. That's why everyone always says the shit they do about you two. But the fact that she knows your feelings towards her and still does that is seriously a bitch move on her part." Stacie answered.
"Look Stace I know this. It's part of her wicked game that I can't seem to stop playing." Beca sighed.
"If you know then why the fuck do you still play? I mean I know you; you don't take shit from anyone. So why play?" Stacie asked.
"Because I'm in love with that girl. I have been since she barged into my shower last year. We got so dam close so quick and like you said she just made me feel like she wanted me. She's got this like spell on me that I can't break. She's just Chloe fucking Beale." Beca said as she fell back on the bed "What am I going to do?".
Stacie sighed "I don't know B. If only you could just start new somewhere and not have to worry about money."
Beca perked up "That's it Stace!"
Stacie looked confused "What is?"
"Start over. The internship I told you about, they have an opening in Colorado and told me if I want it, they'll pay for my living." Beca said.
Stacie looked at her in disbelief "You're not actually thinking about just packing and going, are you?"
"Yes Stace. You said it yourself I need to get over her and what better way than to get away from her and focus on my career." Beca said.
"Beca that's insane." Stacie said.
"I'm done playing this game Stace. I'm going and that's that." Beca said sternly.
Stace sighed "Fine, when do we leave?"
"We?" Beca raised a brow.
"Yes we. We're a team and I'm not breaking this up after ten years of friendship. I'll just transfer schools." Stacie said.
"I'll make the calls, thank god for time difference." Beca said as she pulled out her phone.
Stacie shook her head; she couldn't believe that she was even in this position. She couldn't believe that Chloe had been doing Beca like this, she just thought Beca hadn't talked to Chloe knowing how awkward Beca could be with stuff like that. Here she thought along with everyone else that Chloe actually did want Beca but no that wasn't the case. It was actually the opposite; Chloe was just playing Beca and stringing her along.
Stacie was getting mad at the thought of someone hurting and treating her best friend like they were nothing. Beca deserved the world in Stacie's eyes, especially after everything that small girl had gone through. She really thought Chloe was going to be good for her, but she's caused so much hurt for Beca.
Beca reappeared "Alright were all good, we have a flight at 6am."
Stacie nodded "Alright so pack the necessities I guess."
Beca shrugged "You're the one with all the wardrobe."
After spending close to thirty minutes packing, they headed downstairs and left their bags by the door. Some of the Bellas were in the kitchen and looked at them confused.
"Alright might as well get this over with." Beca said.
Beca explained to CR, Amy and Emily about the whole Chloe situation but told them not to turn on the redhead. She didn't want Chloe being seen as a bad guy or having everyone turn against her. The three girls completely understood where Beca was coming from and why Stacie was going with her. Beca promised to still send mixes for them and told them that she would keep in constant contact with them.
They were waiting outside for the Uber when Chloe showed up. Stacie rolled her eyes at the sight of the redhead who didn't even bother to straighten herself up. It was clear as day that she just got done with a hookup and that made Stacie even more mad.
"Whoa what's with the bags?" Chloe asked confused.
Stace looked at Beca who just nodded "I got it." Beca said quietly.
She turned to Chloe "We're leaving."
Chloe's eyes went wide in shock "What do you mean you're leaving?" She shrieked.
"I mean we're leaving. I got an internship and accepted it." Beca shrugged. Beca had turned into her defensive mode and was trying to show this wasn't hard on her.
Chloe rushed to Beca's side, but Stacie got in the way "Stacie can you please move."
Stacie shook her head "Nope your good where you're at."
Beca tugged at Stacie's shirt "I got this legs. Thank you but I got to do this."
Stacie looked at Beca and reluctantly nodded and sat back down besides Beca.
"Look Chloe I can't do this anymore. I need to get out of here, I can't take this anymore. You know how I feel, and I need to put distance between us." Beca said.
"Beca we've been through this already. I don't know why you insist we need space when everything is great. We're best friends Becs." Chloe sighed.
Stacie scoffed "That's it." She got up and looked Chloe right in the eyes "Listen Beale, that girl right there is so madly in love with you that it's literally hurting her at this point. Even after you know this you keep on stringing her along like it's all good, but it's not good."
"Stacie what-" Chloe started but Stacie put a hand up silencing her.
"Shut the fuck up. You said you two are best friends? No, she's been your best friend, but you've been everything but that to her. Despite the way she feels about you she's always been by your side through all your bullshit. But you? You've been nothing but a heartless inconsiderate bitch. It's one thing to not feel the same way, that is ok, and you could work around that. But you constantly flirt with her and give her hope that maybe you feel the same way towards her, that right there is called stringing someone along. You're just playing her at that point, and I'll be dammed if I let you do that to my best friend." Stacie said with the angriest glare and threatening voice.
Chloe crossed her arms "I don't constantly flirt with her. That's just how I am."
Stacie laughed "Are you shiting me Beale? You're constantly touching her, holding her hands, hugging her, cuddling her, giving her kisses and making all these winky smiley faces at her. If that isn't flirting, then I don't know what is."
Chloe groaned and looked at Beca who was looking at her shoes "Beca please don't do this." Chloe pleaded.
Stacie chuckled "What's wrong Beale? Afraid to lose your personal ego booster? That's all she is to you right? Just someone to boost your ego. Someone to make you feel good, someone to manipulate, someone to have as a fall back plan?" Stacie shook her head "No more, we're leaving and that's that." Stacie said as she gave Chloe a slight shove and grabbed her stuff as there Uber just arrived "Come on B." Stacie called out.
Beca got up and grabbed her bags but Chloe held her arm "Please Becs, I need you." Chloe pleaded desperately.
Beca shook her head "I'm done playing these wicked games Chloe."
