Chapter 1
Beca was currently working on yet another mix that had suddenly popped into her head, to send out to some people in LA and NY. In that moment Chloe her girlfriend of two years walked into Beca's dorm, Beca had moved into a single dorm for her junior year wanting to be away from the Bellas to work on music in peace.
"Hey Becs, I need to talk to you" The music in Beca's headphones was so loud Chloe was able to hear it the whole way she was walking towards her. Beca was so focused that she was unintentionally ignoring Chloe, not that she was able to hear her. Chloe was agitated at this point.
"Beca! can you stop for a dam second, we need to talk!" Chloe said as she took Beca's headphones from her head and spun her around.
"What the. Geez Chlo, chill. I'm sorry alright? now what's up?" Beca said apologetically.
"We need to talk." Chloe said seriously.
"Um ok about what?"
"Us Beca" Chloe said looking down. Beca had a feeling where this was going.
Beca and Chloe had been dating since Beca's freshmen year and Chloe's junior year at Barden, Chloe being a second year senior at this point. This is something Beca knew was coming for a few months since Chloe found out she was graduating. Chloe's graduation implied the possibility of Chloe leaving the state and her.
"Beca? you there?" Chloe asked seeing her lost in thought.
Snapping out of her trance and looking up at Chloe "Yeah sure ok. Let's talk about US Chlo. Where do we start?" Beca's voiced held a bit of anger and bitterness. Chloe decided to shake that off.
"Okay. So I applied for Med School in Cali. And, I GOT IN!" Chloe shouted while smiling.
This wasn't a surprise for Beca, she knew Chloe would get in easily. I mean this is Chloe Beale for crying out loud. "Seriously? Congrats Chlo! you deserve it." Beca smiled.
After a moment of silence Beca broke it "So where does that leave us?"
"Beca..." Chloe started with a sigh.
"No Chloe, no. We both knew were already on this path right? I mean you're graduating in a week while I'll be here and you'll be off to Cali. Don't think I haven't thought about this cause trust me I have, for a while ok. And now that it's real, we have no choice but to face it." Beca was looking at Chloe straight in the eyes holding back tears.
Chloe was speechless for a bit, she took a breath and reminded herself this needed to be done. It was for the best.
"I'm sorry Beca, I really am. I know you told me you could do the whole long distance thing, but Med school will take up so much of my time. More then Barden did and even now I was always crammed with school, so it'd be worse. I can't promise you that I'll always be there for the Skype calls or even be able to reply consistently. I'm just not that type of person you know? I need in person face to face interactions. I love you ok Becs, always will. Doing this really hurts, but I just made a choice." Chloe said sadly.
Beca looked at Chloe for a while, glaring at her more like it "A choice? you made a choice? well you just made the wrong fucking choice. I am willing to sacrifice everything for you and that's why I don't wanna break up Chloe. I'm wiling to head to Cali with you and build up my career there. All that for you."
With tears streaming down her face "I'm sorry Beca, I don't want you to waste your time being here stuck up on me. I don't want you to put everything on hold or stop doing what you're doing. I'm leaving and that's that." Chloe pulled Beca in for a hug.
"Will you at least stay in touch? Write me or text me when you can? Please don't forget about me. I love you so so much." Beca said sobbing into Chloe's shirt.
"Of course Becs. I promise I will. I love you too. So much." Chloe placed a kiss on Beca's forehead and pulled away.
Chloe stood at the door and looked back one more time, Beca and Chloe both looked at each other in tears. With one final wave, Chloe walked out of Beca's dorm. They're over, officially over.
Beca stayed looking at the door sobbing and shaking. She couldn't believe that they were really done, that Chloe really left. Feeling more heartbroken then ever she just collapsed on the ground and let everything out of her system, the anger and the sadness. Beca stayed curled up in front of her bed on the floor for two hours ignoring all phone calls and texts. Beca was prepared to stay isolated for however long necessary considering she was done with classes until someone started banging on her door non-stop. Hoping the person would tired she didn't move, unfortunately the person appeared to have nothing better to do and kept it up. Beca got up with a groan and walked to the door and swung it open.
"Oh my God Becs! I've been trying to call and text you for two hours. Do you know how worried I've been about you." Stacie said rapidly in one breath looking frantic and out of breath.
Beca shouldn't be surprised that Stacie was here of all people, she was her best friend after all. The two have been since there freshmen year when Stacie introduced everyone too 'The Hunter'.
"Sorry Stace just, feeling down." Beca said quietly not even feeling like talking.
"I know B, I know. I'm so so sorry. Can I please come in?" Stacie said pleading.
"Of course" Beca just turned and walked towards her bed. Stacie closed and locked the door and hoped into Beca's bed with her. Wrapping her arms around Beca and pulling her into her side "I'm here for you B, just like the rest of the bellas. We got you." Stacie planted a kiss on top Beca's head.
"It hurt's Stace. It fucking hurts." Beca said quietly.
"I know it does sweetie. But you'll be ok. I promise." Stacie said soothingly.
Beca went to sleep that night completely heartbroken and didn't know what to do.
