Sorry Mitchsen shippers - this story is not going in that direction. This chapter wil explain why.

"You had sex with Beca?," Stacie asked. "We need details."

"It's not a big deal," Aubrey says slurring her words slightly. "Most of you don't know it, but Beca and I have been best friends since we were, like, five. She came out during our Sophomore year in High School and people were really mean to her. When we were Juniors my parents got a divorce and my mom moved to London leaving me with my dad. I was angry and rebellious. I had already had sex with a boy, and decided I wanted to experiment with a girl. I didn't want it to be some random girl so I asked Beca. She told me no, but I kept after her and finally wore her down. We were at an end of year party and got drunk and we did it. Afterwards, I realized I liked sex with boys better. I told my dad about me and Beca just to piss him off. He was so angry that he forbid me from seeing Beca. I told Beca and she thought it best if she stayed away from me for the summer. We were going to pick our friendship back up once Senior Year started, but on the first day she wasn't in school. A week went by and I found out that her parents divorced and she and her mom had moved to Seattle. She had come by the house several times to let me know but my father never told me. She thought I had given in to my father and never wanted to see her again. When she movd she changed her number and never called. I was devastated but kept trying to reconnect with her and finally did through Facebook. We talked and stayed friends ever since despite my dad."

All eyes were on Beca. Beca just shrugged her shoulders and didn't say anything.

"Beca doesn't like me telling that story," Aubrey said. "A lot of people at the party knew what happened. She thought they would judge me and pick on me like they did her when she came out. She also thought she was the reason my dad and I had such a complicated relationship. She couldn't be more wrong. We don't get along because my dad is a strict, overbearing former military man who expects me to fall in line whenever he barks an order at me. I wasn't always the way I am around you guys - the uptight, control freak. I'm this way because I was always trying to be what my dad wanted me to be. Without Beca around it was easy to fall into being that person. With Beca around, I can be me without her trying to chnage me."

"I can't believe you never told me any of that," Chloe told Aubrey.

Chloe knew Aubrey's dad was hard on her but she didn't know to what extent. She was hurting for her best friend.

"Chloe," Beca said getting the redhead's attention. "Aubrey never said anything because I made her promise she wouldn't."

"I'm sorry, Chloe," Aubrey said. "It didn't feel right telling anyone. And I can't believe I just word vomited all that. I must be drunker than I thought."

Chloe gave Beca a small smile.

"Brey, I'm a little mad that you just told everyone but I'm also a little surprised it hasn't come out before now," Beca said. "Your mouth always did get away from you when you drank."

Chloe laughed at this.

"She usually holds her liquor very well," Chloe said. "I can't say that I've actually seen her more than a little tipsy before tonight."

"So, how was she?," Stacie asks Aubrey loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Stacie!," Beca and Chloe both yell.

"Come on, guys," Stacie says looking around at everyone. "You can't tell me you're not the least bit curious how our tiny DJ is in the sack."

"She was really good," Aubrey says. "Really, really good. I had so many orgasms I lost count. But, I'm still not into the ladies. I like dick. Oh, God, I need to stop talking."

Beca's face is as red as a tomato. All the girls laugh. Chloe is biting her lower lip to keep from laughing but also because she's thinking about Beca having sex. With her.

After Aubrey's revelation, and knowing that nothing could top it, the girls decided to quit the game and go back to dancing.

It was the night of the Regional Competition and Beca was wired. Luke, the radio station manager where she worked, was playing one her mixes. It was weird to hear her music being played on the campus station, but exhilarating at the same time.

The girls do well and come in second place and earn a spot in the Semi-Finals. As they are walking out they see the Treblemakers in some sort of altercation with an older a capella group. Beca sees Jesse trying to get away from some guy who is taunting Jesse to punch him. Jesse sits the trophy he was holding down and tries to avoid the guy.

"I'm just going to go see if I can help," Beca says.

Beca goes over to them with Fat Amy close behind. Beca tries to get the guy to back off and he takes a swing at her, but he misses. Aubrey comes running over and hits the guy and he falls down.

"That was fantastic," he sits up screaming. "Hit me again."

Amy has grabbed the trophy and Aubrey tries to get it away from her.

"I want to stick it up his bum," Amy screams.

Aubrey gets one hand on the trophy just as Amy pulls her arm back and the trophy breaks. Aubrey is left holding one piece of it while the rest crashes into a window and shatters it. A police officer was standing outside and hurries over to investigate.

Everyone scatters. Beca and Chloe go over to Aubrey. So does the police officer. He puts Aubrey in handcuffs and takes her away.

"Don't worry, Brey," Beca said. "I'll be right behind you."

"I should go," Chloe said.

"I'll go," Beca told her. "You need to get the girls and take them home."

"Thanks, Beca," Chloe says and gives her a quick hug.

"Let me know when you're on your way back," Chloe tells Beca before she goes to gather the rest of the girls.

Beca bails Aubrey out of jail and they head home. As they walk in they see all the Bellas sitting around waiting for them.

Aubrey does a little strut as she walks over to the girls. "I can't believe you guys waited up for me."

"Of course, we waited," Chloe says. "You're our Captain."

"Well, I got the score sheets before everything went down," Aubrey says. "Our score show that we almost lost to that Sockapella group. We need to do everything as rehearsed. Amy no more ripping open your shirt and unrehearsed dance moves okay. Do it exactly like we rehearsed."

"Brey," Beca said. "Amy going off script is what put us over. The audience loved it. If we just put together some new material and choreography we have a much better shot at winning at Nationals."

"Beca," Chloe jumps in. "We know what's right for these competitions. We're doing fine with our set list and we will keep it the way it is."

"Chloe, maybe we should try something new," Aubrey said.

"I disagree," Chloe says more determined. "I am the Co-Captain and have just as much say as you. The set we have worked for us before, it will again. The discussion is over."

Aubrey sighs and Beca just shakes her head.

"Okay, ladies," Aubrey says tiredly. "Rehearsals 8:00 am sharp tomorrow. Get out of here and get some rest."

The girls all reluctantly get up and leave. Aubrey goes to her room not sure what to make of what just happened. Chloe is upset because she keeps lashing out at Beca when all she really wants to do is kiss her and tell her she likes her. And Beca is thinking about Chloe's Jekyll and Hyde behavior

Rehearsals are brutal over the next two weeks. Beca does her utmost to not get Chloe angry at her. She does the choreography flawlessly. She sings her parts without making any snide comments or remarks. At home, she makes sure they have Chloe's favorite drink (Diet Coke) and snack (popcorn) on had. She even let's her pick the music they listen to when they are doing homework in the Library. Anything to keep nice Chloe around. She really liked Chloe and hoped, by doing all this, that Chloe would see it.

Aubrey convinces Chloe they should have a party to give the girls a reprieve before Semis. The girls are told they could invite "a few people" as well. "A few people" turns out to be practically the entire campus.

Beca is DJing and can't keep her eyes off of Chloe. She notices Chloe looking a her now and then with a small smile. Only to see her glaring every time she and Aubrey are together.

"Jekyll and Hyde," Beca thinks shaking her head when sees a glaring Chloe.

Most of the party goers are drunk and dancing. They really seem to like Beca's mixes. She sees Chloe letting loose on the dance floor and can't help but smile. Aubrey comes up to her.

"You really like Chloe don't you?," Aubrey whisper yells in Beca's ear. "As in like like her."

"Yeah, I do," Beca says. "I've fallen hard for her and I don't know what to do about it. She's hot and cold with me. I mean, I think she might like me, too, but then she looks at me like she hates me."

"Ask her out," Aubrey says.

"Right," Beca says with a frown.

"I really think you should," Aubrey said. "She can't keep her eyes off of you. She keeps staring at you and smiling when she thinks you're not looking. I've seen her."

"Really?," Beca says with a raised eyebrow.

Beca smiles and looks around trying to find the redhead again on the crowded dance foor. She finally sees her and her smile and heart drops.

"I think you're seeing things, Brey," Beca said.

Aubrey looks over to see Chloe grinding and kissing on Tom Henderson. Chloe pulls back from kissing Tom to see Aubrey glaring at her. Chloe looks back at her confused. She glances at Beca and sees a hurt look on her face. Chloe looks away wondering what that was all about. She shakes her head and continues dancing.

"I'm sorry, Becs," Aubrey says. "Just so you know, she doesn't have any real feelings for him. They just use each other to, um, relieve tensions."

"Whatever," Beca says and puts her headphones to start another song.

After the party, Beca does everything to avoid spending time alone with Chloe. She does her homework in her room unless Aubrey is there. On nights when she knows Aubrey will be late she gets dinner before she gets home so she doesn't have to eat with Chloe. Chloe invites Beca to do things with her, but Beca always has 'other plans' unless Aubrey is in on the invite.

Bellas rehearsals are easier to get through since they're doing the same old choreography and Beca makes sure she nails it every time. Chloe tries to talk to her but Beca only speaks to Chloe when asked a direct Bellas-related question.

Aubrey can see that Beca avoiding Chloe is getting to Chloe. She expects Chloe to ask her about it, but she doesn't. Aubrey wants to say something but opts instead to wait and see what happens.

At the Semi-Finals the girls take the stage. They start their routine and Beca sees that no one is paying them any attention. So she decides to add a little something to liven their set up. She starts singing Bulletproof and people do perk up a bit. Chloe isn't sure how to react, while Aubrey gives her small smile.

Aubrey was walking next to Beca as they walked backstage.

"That was pretty cool, Becs," Aubrey says with a smile.

Chloe hears this, and before Beca can say anything, Chloe grabs her arm.

"What the hell, Beca,?" Chloe yells at her. "Were you trying to screw us up?"

"I'm sorry if I messed us up," Beca said. "In case you hadn't noticed, people were falling asleep during out set."

"Newsflash, this is not the Beca Show," Chloe spits out. "It's not your job to decide what we do and when we do it. What don't you ask the others what they thought about your little improv."

Beca looks around. Her eyes find Aubrey and move on so she didn't bring Chloe's wrath down on her as well.

"Amy?," she asked when her eyes fell on the Australian.

"It was really cool," Amy says. "But, it did take us a little by surprise."

"Try a lot by surprise," Chloe cuts in. "I knew she wasn't cut out to be a real Bella."

"Chloe," Aubrey says through clenched teeth.

"It's okay, Brey," Beca tells her. "We all know Chloe hates me."

"How would you know what I feel?," Chloes asks. "You do everything you can to avoid me."

"If this is what I get for trying," Beca says and turns and rushes away.

"Beca," Chloe says. "I"m-"

"What the fuck is wrong with you?," Aubrey asks turning to Chloe.

Chloe looks down at the ground and doesn't say anything.

"Make sure you get the girls home," Aubrey tells her. "I'm going after Beca."

Aubrey starts to go after Beca, but stops and turns once more to Chloe.

"You need to get over whatever it is that is causing you lash out at Beca," Aubrey tells her. "It's getting old."

Aubrey goes to their dressing room and gets her and Beca's stuff. She knows Beca had a head start but goes after her anyway.

Chloe is still standing where Aubrey left her, tears running down her face. Stacie pulls her into a hug.

"What have I done?," Chloe mutters.
