Chapter 7 : Revealing
Sunday
"Wakey wakey" Aubrey says while knocking Chloe's door.
"5 more minutes" Chloe mumbles
"Come on I already heard it an hour ago when I second time came to woke up. Now it's 11 am. Get your lazy butt out from the bed now." Aubrey snatches the blanket from Chloe which Chloe hold very tight over her head.
"Noooooo. " Chloe whines because she lost the warmth of blanket.
"It's Sunday chlo it's our day. We supposed to spend it together and you are way to ruin it." Aubrey argues.
"Look who is saying the one who ditch me last night, leaving me alone to watch friends first season." Chloe mock her sitting on edge of bed now.
"You could stop too and sleep."Aubrey trying to defend herself.
"I told you I want to watch at least first season." Chloe argues back.
"Ok my mistake. Let me make it up to you. I will let you decide what are we going to do today though it's my turn to decide. What do you say?" Aubrey says.
"Hmmm... deal" Chloe chimes happily and went for bathroom to fresh.
They spend all the day at home playing games, seeing photo albums, joking around,teasing each other.
"I don't believe you have a crush on unicycle. I Mean out of whole Barden university." Chloe teases Aubrey laughing too hard.
"Oh stop it Chloe. He was not that bad looking and everyone has crush on their college days. At least I am over it not like you." Aubrey says not knowing what she actually said out loud. Chloe's face fell instantly as she heard Aubrey.
"Chloe?" Aubrey started cautiously," I don't mean to hurt you."
"But it's true." Chloe finishes her.
"Wanna talk about it?" Aubrey place her hand on Chloe's knee.
Chloe sighs, " I don't know Bree. She isn't talking to me. She is clearly ignoring me. What should I do?"
"Just tell her Chloe. Tell her you love her. You have waited too long. It's time now." Aubrey says.
"It's not easy now. She is ignoring me , she is ignoring everyone.I'm afraid she is shutting out all of us. She is going back to her old shell. You know how hard I have tried to open up her to people and not to mention Jesse got her because of me. If she is shutting me how I suppose to tell her? I have talked to Emily she said she never heard from Beca in two months. I asked every Bellas they said same thing to me" Chloe says defeated.
" Yeah Jesse also told me he never heard from her after their break up" Aubrey blurted out.
"Now tell me what's going on between you and Jesse" Chloe narrows her eyes to Aubrey.
"Nothing" Aubrey says.
"Now truth." Chloe half-glares.
"We are kind of... dating." Aubrey says.
"What?"Chloe says in disbelief.
"It's true." Aubrey sighs.
"You can't. I don't want to hurt you like Beca." Chloe says after her initial shock.
"It's actually before Beca and Jesse's break up. I was the reason he broke up with her." Aubrey says.
"What? Oh my god Bree. Why don't you tell me?" Chloe says.
"Can we go back to your problem. I'm still not sure about my feelings for him. He says he and Beca never a thing. Let's go for positive side this means Beca don't have feelings for Jesse." Aubrey chimes up.
"I don't know, Bree. We can't just assume things." Chloe sighs.
"Oh my Aca god, is that really you Chloe beale? What happened to that fearless fighter Chloe? You loved her for nearly 4 years but never say DIRECTLY to her. I understand you don't want to ruin her relationship with Jesse but now it's like five months since she break up with him. Still you don't have guts to tell her your feelings. " Aubrey stated the fact.
"But what she don't like me back." Chloe says.
"In that case you still need closure in the way you can get over from her." Aubrey reasons
"You are right. Thanks are the best." Chloe feels really relive after talking Aubrey knowing she has a point mean if she rejects her proposal the situation will be same as now NO contact with Beca again. Well that scares Chloe but she is more optimistic right now.
"I'm always right and now operation get Mitchell is ON" Aubrey smirked.
"Yeah whatever. Good night Bree." Chloe says while hugging Aubrey giving quick peck on cheeks and make her way to her room.
"Good night." Aubrey says while yawning.
Chloe slumps on her bed trying to get some sleep but failing repeatedly because of constant thoughts about Beca. She really don't want to lose her forever. She felt like Beca needs her help but only if Chloe knew what actually happening in brunette's life. In reality brunette really needs her.
*In between Beca's life about 2 months ago from Chloe and aubrey had this conversation.*
For 3 months has been pass after graduation. She have all Bellas in contact. They all are doing fine with their new messaged her every single day. She is working hard in her company but only get no serious attention from her boss. Chloe always cheer her up.
But...
Yeah but one day she gets call from unknown number. She received it.
"Hello, Beca?" Voice came from other side.
"Mom?" Beca said in disbelief. They haven't talked for four years now.
Flashback
Beca's parents filed divorce 5 months ago. They have to talk about their future as Beca's mom hate her ex-husband much more that they didn't stand with each other in same room. Well Beca didn't too happy with her dad because he was the one who cheated on her mom.
"Come on Warren. How many times I told you I don't need your help to raise my child." Beca's mom, Elizabeth said.
" Let me talk with her. She is my daughter too. I don't want to ruin her life because of me and you know you can't get her admission in good college on your own." Warren said to Elizabeth.
"Fine but let me tell you she will never choose you against me." She let him inside , called for her daughter. After five minutes of silence in house Warren started, "look Beca I'm here to ask you come with me for compliting your education. Your mom can't able to get good college for you and you know I teach English literature in Barden university at don't have to leave with me. I'll make sure you get dorm room within university._"he got cut off by Beca.
" I don't want to go college dad. I want to go LA to become music producer. I don't interested in your offer. You can go now" Beca says sternly making her mother sort of proud on her.
"It's not career Beca. Okay how about if you complete your first year of college very seriously then I will help you to move LA and follow your whatever you want to become. Just think about it." Warren insists.
Beca takes good five minutes for thinking. Maybe it's her only chance. She wanted to go LA so bad and she knows her mom can't help her to settle in LA any time soon.
"When's the college starts?" Beca says after a long pause getting two different looks towards her one was happy and other was disappointed .
"In two weeks." Warren said with smile.
Than within this two weeks her mom and Beca only argued about her decision lot. Beca tried to convince her mom but her mom only thinks that her own daughter choses her dad over herself. After Beca move into Barden university she never heard from her mom.
Until now...
"Beca I miss you. I'm really sorry that I didn't contact you before. I was just upset about your decision... you know." She heard her mom sigh.
"Yeah, what do you want now?" Beca says.
"Don't Talk like that Beca. You are my daughter. I want to meet you. It's been so long. We can leave together again." Elizabeth says.
"I don't want to mom. I... l mean why now mom. 4 years later? Really and you think I'll forgive you?" Beca says in disbelief.
"Beca you choose him over me. I was mad at you_" Elizabeth cut off by Beca.
"For God sake, how many times I have said you I didn't choose anyone. But really I got little bit close with him Now. Just because you have no attachment with me and certainly he is only one I have left." Beca says slightly choking out in her throat, tears about to fall from her eyes.
"Oh you think he care about you? You are just responsibility for him. He don't care what you do with your life. He ever let you leave with him? He ever let you celebrate with his new family? And now he just leave you alone in that stupid city. Do you think he loved you? No Beca." Elizabeth says , blood boiling through her veins.
"Stop mom. It's true I never leaves with mom I always refused_" this time Beca cut off by her mom.
"Yes Beca it's always you. I gave birth you. After my divorce I tried to make working out for both of us. I has only you. I would try to complete your dream too. Sure it would take lots of Time span. But you got selfish. You thought about yourself and left me behind alone like your father. You always ran off without facing problems like your father. But I will tell you because of your this selfishness you will be alone forever like now. You are always a loner. Everyone in your life eventually leaves you behind because of your attitude." Elizabeth nearly shouts from other side, spilling all her anger.
Beca can't hold it any longer she hung the phone and starts crying hard. She started believing in her mom's word. Yes she is alone having no one on her side. Everyone leaves her behind. First her all friends from school, not that she has lots of friends- just two- ,then her dad, then her mom, then Jesse, now Bellas, maybe sometime in future Chloe will too. After that she started ignore all her friends message all Chloe's message left unanswered. She born to be leave alone. She cuts all the contacts from her dad her mom. Later she turn off her phone. She eventually left her apartment which was given by her dad.
