Chapter 21 : when you let her Go

That day went away with ghosting silence like someone's is dead or is going to dead. No one dare to utter a word from their mouth even if they reached at home. All Bellas are just thankful for once that Chloe and Aubrey aren't leaving under same roof of Bellas house. Even Lily didn't whispered anything weird sentence. No other sound has been made as they scared that any sound could do any worse than it is. Just Bellas going to surrender themselves to sleep in dead silence one sound interrupted it. (Except of course Beca)

*Ding!*

Message received

Please come tomorrow one hour earlier than our decided time schedule.

~ Yours sincere Bella Chloe beale.

Well that sounds something.

All Bellas except for Beca gathered in practice hall unsure of what will Chloe gonna do even Aubrey didn't know anything. When she asked Chloe about message this morning Chloe just shrugs and told her to go ahead and she'll catch her there. Fat Amy silently praying that Chloe wouldn't make them for more cardio. Chloe marches into hall wearing business women suit blue shirt over Gray colour suit very serious expression on face, all Bellas (except Beca) scrambled into one line. Chloe stops in front of them facing them flashing a small smile.

"Thank you for gathering here in very short notice. I want to announce something." Chloe starts pause for taking deep breath, "Bellas is my life, my family, you all are my sisters. Bellas give me inspiration, motive, meaning to my life for last 8 years of my life..." Chloe gets cut by Aubrey.

"What the hell is going on your head?" Aubrey asks worriedly.

"You have been my backbone for last few years, you have been very supportive of me. I will be very thankful for that. Now it's time to back down, to step back a little bit for the best. I, Chloe Beale member and sister of Bella also a co-captain of Bellas for last 4 years will stepping down as a co-captain and Bella. I'm quitting Bellas." Chloe finishes and chocks her sob back. All gasps loudly. "You can't do that. It's against the rules isn't it? Aubrey?" Emily asks Aubrey hopefully to which Aubrey just shook her head.

"Emily, it's fine. We don't need another arguments during Bellas practice, do we? And it's not like I won't be around anymore no one can stop me from doing that. If you need any help from me you can ask me. Remember once a Bella always a Bella. So from now on Aubrey?"Chloe motion to Aubrey come forward to which Aubrey quickly follows. "Aubrey will take my place as co-captain, Emily you will shadow her, learn from her as you can. Aubrey take this my resignation letter give it to Beca and promise me to not argue with Beca about my leaving Bellas. She'll lead this group and we're going to win that competition." Aubrey steps closer and hugs Chloe which soon becomes group hug.

"Oh... okay. Enough you guys." Chloe tears up a little bit. A sudden opening of door startled them. Beca enters the hall gets confused by seeing the scene in front of her. She was sure she is early like 30 minutes early so why all the Bellas are here hugging Chloe? Beca eyes everyone cautiously her gaze met Chloe's once for second before Chloe Averte her eyes but that was enough to see Beca pain in her eyes. Chloe quickly faces Aubrey , Aubrey gave her slight nod. Chloe started walking towards her. No she is walking towards door and just like that she was out of the practice hall in matter of seconds before Beca could ask anything or say anything. Beca wanted to apologize for her behaviour but she would never apologize to Chloe ever.

When Beca turns her head towards Bellas all she can see is two green eyes. It was Aubrey's of course. She just hands her Chloe's letter.

Beca feels Guilty that she made Chloe to quit Bellas. She knows how much it means to her, that NO matter what she would never give upon Bellas. But she was so mad and feeling betrayed by Chloe that she couldn't bring herself for being guilty. But all eyes which are boring holes in her skulls aren't thinking same, at least a particularly Green eyes pair.

Author notes: I'm sorry guys for late updates. The thing is I'm not that motivated by this story anymore. So that's it for now.
