Chapter 3

Filming is finally over. Beca spent half of the day with Blake and Ryan talking about their future plans and meeting whenever they're in LA or New York. She was grateful to have gained real friends while shooting A Simple Favor.

They reminded her about the do's and don'ts on press tour and gave her a gift, she and Blake share the same bracelet with ASF written on it. Beca liked it because it wasn't extravagant but still looks neat on her and Blake.

She was excited to finally come back home. She was thinking of the vacation with the Bellas and how she'll take time off from everything. She was getting anxious on the plane when Chloe texted.

"Beca, I got a huge problem. Is it okay if I spend the night at yours? My neighbor just punched a hole through the wall. They got into an argument and they'll get it fixed by tomorrow."

Her heart jumps a bit and she found it weird because she should have gotten used to this. They've lived together for years but haven't really shared a room for months.

"Anytime, Chlo. I'm almost home. I'll see you soonest."

Chloe smiled as she got ready to pick up Beca. It was the least she can do to return the favor. But it wasn't all though.

A FEW HOURS LATER

Beca read the redhead's text.

"I'm already at the airport, waiting for you. Text me as soon as you land. I'll be waiting at the café."

Naomi, her assistant, picked up their bags and followed Beca to the café.

Chloe was the first one to see her best friend and waved. She then stood up and gave the brunette a big hug. It became their normal greeting, even if Beca used to refuse hugging her back.

"Congratulations on finishing the film! I have something for you." Chloe took out a box and Beca opened it immediately.

"Chloe, you didn't have to. This is too much. You're picking me up and then you gave me this."

She was surprised when she saw a necklace with a raincloud pendant.

"What did I do to deserve a gift like this, Beale? I'll make it up to you." She smiled as she put on the necklace.

"Look, I have a sunshine pendant. We never really had matching things after all these years. I thought why not give you one now."

Beca looked at Chloe's necklace. It looked beautiful. She can't lie, she's enjoying the gifts for wrapping the film. She never thought it was this big of a deal.

"Oh and I have another surprise. I hope you're far from tired. It's going to be a long day." Chloe said before driving off to their favorite restaurant.

As soon as they arrived, Beca heard Congratulations and "You Go, Beca Mitchell" from the Bellas. She was shookt to say the least. This felt better than her birthday celebrations because the girls are all there to support her in this new monumental moment of her life.

They hugged each other and ate a lot of food. Aubrey suddenly went to talk to Beca.

"Hey, Becs. I haven't seen you in ages. I'm glad you're doing well. Chloe says you've been working non-stop. Is everything okay?"

"Who would have thought Aubrey Posen would be this concerned with me? Just kidding. Everything's fine, Bree. It's actually amazing and kinda scary at the same time."

"You were the alt-girl who though joining the Bellas wasn't your thing. Now, you're the biggest stars in the contry, and soon to be worldwide. I'm so proud of you." Aubrey hugged the brunette. They became really good friends over the years because Aubrey was the really serious about keeping the girls on track with everything. If she knew someone had a problem, she would be there in no time.

It was her natural-leader instinct to keep the Bellas all in tact. They always thank her because it doesn't go unnoticed.

Chloe then took Aubrey by the arm and lead her some place more private.

"How about you, Chlo? How's vet school? How's your part-time at the café? How's Chicago?" Aubrey asked her best friend.

"Everything's fine and about Chicago, things didn't actually work out. Distance made it hard for us. We didn't even date that much so it wasn't that hard to move past it. We still keep in touch though. He is a good friend and a listener."

"Good friend and a listener? Beale, what's going on?" Aubrey was suspicious.

"I just said it, Bree. You know I'm an open book. Turns out we're better off as friends."

"If you say so. We still haven't talked about the USO incident."

"What incident? All I can remember is the kidnapping and jumping out of the ocean."

"Groping Beca's tits. How about that?" Aubrey smirked at Chloe. They never had the chance to talk about it because Chloe was busy with school and shuts everybody out except the weekends. Aubrey was busy with the retreat center. It's fully booked till the end of the year because being friends with the Beca Mitchell has its perks.

"It's a story for some other time, Bree. I promise I'll tell you." Chloe tried to move past it but Aubrey wasn't done.

"How did it feel like?" Aubrey asked with wide eyes.

"Really good." Chloe winked at her best friend.

"You bitch." Chloe laughed as she leads the way back to the girls' table.

Beca suddenly stood up asking their attention.

"I'd like to say thanks to all of you for being here tonight for celebrating this milestone with me. I wouldn't have it any other way. You've all been really supportive with me even when I'm extremely busy. Will you go on a girls trip with me? No specific place yet but it's all on me."

The girls were cheering and clapping their hands to show respect to Beca.

"Not too busy for Chloe." Fat Amy whispered, wherein Emily and Aubrey heard it as they sat beside her.

They continued talking about the trip and realized going to Hawaii is the best option because they've never been there. The vacation would only last three days but time spent with the Bellas is always memorable.
