Chapter 8: Searching

Next day Chloe again tried to call Beca but it's still showing switch off. Chloe about to call Beca's dad for knowing about Beca. Maybe he knows something, of course he is her dad he should know. Am I too desperate, maybe Beca needs some space, maybe she will call her, maybe she is really busy. What if I called her dad and he thinks that I'm creeper or something. Her phone starts ringing snap back her to reality and guess what it's from Warren, Beca's dad. After second ring, Chloe receives call trying to play it cool.

"Hello?"Chloe says trying to sound emotionless.

"Hello Chloe?" Warren says.

"It's me." Chloe reply.

"Hey it's Warren Beca's dad." Warren says.

"Oh hello Mr. Mitchell. How come ? Is there any thing I could help you?"Chloe tried to play cool but fails miserably.

"Oh actually maybe. Beca is not replying me really Not heard from her nearly 2 months... umm .. do you know about her and why she is ignoring me? I only have your number ... you know that.. " Warren rambles.

"Mr. Mitchell, I know from what are you going through because same thing is happening with me." Chloe sighs.

"Oooh.. I'm really sorry Chloe for your inconvenience. She will call soon, maybe she is too busy" Warren says sounding not sure.

"It's fine but can you inform me if she calls you or something?" Chloe says.

"Sure. Have a nice day."Warren says.

"Thanks .You too." Chloe hung the phone and sits on couch.

"CHLOE! What are you doing here? We have to get going or else we're going to late for our work. I don't know about you but I don't want to get scolded by my boss AGAIN.." Aubrey starts yelling but abruptly stop after seeing her friends worried expression.

"It's Mr. Mitchell." Chloe decides to starts before Aubrey could ask." She hadn't reply him too. He is her dad Aubrey? I'm starting worried now." Chloe is now verge of tears.

"Chloe, look at me. You know about whom we are talking about. It's badass Beca Mitchell who is stuck up little midget. It's probably her one of tantrums. You are going meet her and kick her ass. You are going to confess your feelings and if she does not feel same then I will kick her ass but that's not going to happen because she probably don't want me to see me personally for that reason." Aubrey says.

"Says who another stuck up person." Chloe slightly chuckles.

"Maybe I am. But you love me so that doesn't matter." Aubrey says proudly.

"Yeah I love you. Thanks Bree." Chloe says hugging Aubrey." I'm going to LA. I'll talk with Chris ( her boss) and take some day off."

"That's my girl. Do you want me to come with you? Or I will ask Bellas for help." Aubrey says.

"No you don't have to come it's not a big deal and also don't any of Bellas. I don't want to worry them for nothing." Chloe says.

" okay. Now go get ready." Aubrey push her from couch knowing they already late.

Chloe went into Chris's office during lunch hour. "Miss. Beale, what brings you here?" Chris took initiative.

"I need some days off from my work." Chloe says biting her bottom lip.

"Do you know what are you saying? You are able 20 minutes late today too and may I have to add I have so many complaints that you are not 100 % committed to your work. I have already gave you warnings." Her boss lost his temper.

"I know and I'm really sorry. This is last time and probably after this small days off I'll able to put myself back together." Chloe tries to convince him.

"Okay,Chloe. You don't give me much choice. But this is the LAST time. From tomorrow you can take leave. Again next Monday you have to report here on time." Chris says warningly.

"Thanks Chris." Chloe says while approaching door. After finishing her day Chloe come to her apartment knowing Aubrey would be home already.

"I'm home Bree ! " Chloe finds Aubrey smiles at her.

"So how's your day? " Aubrey says.

"I got week off. And I am going to LA tomorrow morning to face Beca. Bree help to packing up. Oh my god Bree I don't even know her adress. How am I supposed to find her." Chloe panicked.

"Calm down chlo. You and I are going to packing up your stuff. First go get fresh then call Mr. Mitchell get the address while I will make dinner for us. After dinner we will packing." Aubrey states calmly.

Chloe nods and smiles " what am I going to do without you?"

That night Chloe wrote her probably last letter to Beca that holding her feelings towards Beca.

Next day

"Take care and if you need anything you know you can call me anytime. When everything's fine tell hobbit hello from me_" Aubrey says.

"Okay Bree if you don't want me to go you can tell me. You don't have to lecture me while I'm gonna miss my flight." Chloe point out.

"Oh right. Go." Aubrey hugs Chloe.

Chloe hugs her back, " take care of yourself ."

"Get your girl back" Aubrey yells when Chloe walks from her to put her luggage on cab.

"Jesus Christ you don't have to yell Aubrey." Chloe blushes and shook her head. Aubrey just waves her hand.

Chloe check in her hotel after reaching LA."God it's so expensive to leave here just for one week. I hope it would worth it." Chloe muttered under her breath. She calls Aubrey for letting her know that she safely landed. Aubrey tells her she should go at beca's next day as it's late and Chloe needs some rest too after flight for which Chloe recently agrees.

Next day ; Wednesday

"Can you...ughhhh...what?" Chloe trying to ask someone Beca's adress but it's seems difficult as no one paying attention to her. Everyone is too busy on their own way. Not to mention their is too much crowd in rush.

After 4 hours of searching correct address she is now standing outside of Beca's house. She knocks nervously and waits for door open which is open by middle age brown hair tall man. He looked towards Chloe after a long silence he says, " umm... yes ? How can I help you?"

"Is Beca Mitchell is here?" Chloe says

"Who? I don't know whom you are talking about?" Man answers.

"Umm... is this address is correct? " showing him Beca's address.

" address is correct but she is not leaving here now. It's just me and my leave here for almost for two months now." Man handles address her back.

"Okay. I'm sorry to bother you but do you have any idea where I can find her." Chloe says sheepishly.

"Nope. I don't know. She was already left when we were starts leaving here." Man replied.

"Okay. Sorry again" Chloe backing away from the door. Feeling empty she now on her way back to hotel.

In between the Beca's house which was Beca's

"Who was that Steve?" Women asked that man.

"Probably women from our previous owner or something. I don't know man." Man says.

"Okay. Oh Steve did you gave her letter which was came here named on Beca Mitchell?" She asks.

"No I forgot." Man replies back.

Chloe is not going to give up so soon. She made another call to Mr. Mitchell asking her mother's phone number and address for in case. Surprisingly Mr. Mitchell give it to Chloe without questioning made courageous decision to call Beca's mom. Beca never said a word about her mother in four years. Chloe only knows name though Elizabeth Mitchell. Her fingers hovering above her phone ultimately dialed number. After 4 rings...

"Hello?" Voice came out.

"Hello. Mrs Elizabeth Mitchell?"Chloe asks politely.

"It's Mrs. Elizabeth Spencer. And may I know you?" Elizabeth says curtly.

"No probably you don't. I am Beca's friend_" Chloe started only to cut shortly.

"Okay stop their miss. I don't know who gave you my number. But I don't have any daughter name Beca. I used to be have one. So there is no need to call me." And then she hung up.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

"Hello? Hello... No I want to know something...means ask... " Chloe check her phone only to find line is already cut. What a rude.

Chloe again dial , dial ,dial and dial. After a 6th phone call. Phone received.finally...

"Look I just want to inform you that Beca is kind of missing..." again Chloe get cut off.

"I don't know what is your problem but listen to me. I don't want to know about Beca. I don't care about her anymore. Don't bother to call me again." Elizabeth says and again hung up.

"What's my problem? What's her problem?" Chloe huffs.

Chloe calm herself again and tried to call.

*The number you have called is currently switch off. Please try again later*

"Okay Mrs. Spencer you don't give me much choice only to meet you personally and put some brain into your head."Chloe said to herself.
