So, somehow I seem to be updating weekly for the past few chapters, which is a major accomplishment for me. I never updated that quick for past stories! I just hope people are still reading Beca/Chloe fics and are actually enjoying my take on the two of them.

I have a surprise for everyone this chapter. I think you will all appreciate it. Most people incorporated it sooner, but I decided to wait. Hopefully it pays off and benefits the whole plot/story.

(One week later)

Chloe's P.o.v -
It's been a single week. Week one of college was even scarier than I even imagined, which I didn't think possible. Beca and Aubrey are smothering me. Aubrey is "protecting" me from Jesse. Beca is thankfully protecting me from some of Aubrey's "witchcraft." Beca is really sarcastic and uses tons of dry humor, but it's endearing and fits her "bad girl" persona. She tries to act like a tough chick with no emotions or weaknesses. She's a softie deep down. I just have this gut feeling. Beca does tease me, but it's playful and it's just her nature. I like her very much though, but Aubrey thinks I have a lady toner for her. I...I really don't...

Aubrey is a character. Someone I do not want to anger, ever. She's scary, intimidating, and makes me feel like a kid trying to argue with their parents. The child never wins. Even if they're right, they are always wrong. Hypothetically speaking, Aubrey is the parent and I'm the kid. She's bossy, demanding, uptight, and her expectations are higher than the High Notes entire team. I really do think her intentions are the very best. Aubrey always tends to be stressed and she takes out her emotional strain on anyone around her. Beca attempts to tell her to chill out, but it seems to aggravate her more.

I did end up joining The Barden Bellas. I didn't have much of a choice with Aubrey threatening to destroy every fiber of my being. Me being absolutely terrified of Aubrey, I obliged, happy that Beca was there with me too. I probably should have mentioned that I have a horrible case of stage fright...

Avoiding Jesse was a lot harder than I anticipated. Seeing as he's in my English class, we have to analyze stories all the time. I've come up with various excuses of why I can't hang out with him. The reasons are quickly dwindling, so I'm not sure how to keep my promise to Aubrey.

"Chloe, what do you surmise is the central theme for Heart of Darkness? Chloe? Miss Beale!"

Someone is calling my name... I wonder why? Oh my gosh, I'm still in class and I decided to daydream now, ugh.

"Oh..umm, I'm really sorry Mrs. Fields. I guess I'm a bit distracted today. I apologize," while fervently flushing.

"It's alright Ms. Beale; you're a great student, just stop daydreaming while in class. Anyways, do you know the answer?" My teacher asked in a polite way. Even she probably feels bad for me. Most people do.

"Uhhh...well there are numerous themes presented b-by Joseph Conrad. The central themes would have to be good versus evil, race, identity, power, time, exploration and especially fear." I was beyond nervous as I spoke my ideas. I looked at my classmates' faces and they were all sweetly smiling back at me. One girl and guy even winked at me.

"Well done, I see you've been studying and reading the book. Good job." My teacher smiled at me too. "That's it for class today. Finish chapter 10 and figure out why fear is so prevalent."

Before I left the class, just about everyone wanted to be my best friend or take me out on a date. I'm still not sure why. They said something about my shyness being cute. Oh well.

I left as swiftly as I could, but Jesse still managed to get to me.

"Hey Chloe! Can we talk?"

"I'm in a hurry Jesse, maybe some other time."

"That's what you always say. Are you avoiding me? What did I do to you?" He sounded kind of mad, yet he doesn't really look like the type to get angry very often. But I suppose anyone would get mad if someone avoided them for a week straight.

"Um...no I'm not avoiding you. I'm just really busy and y-you didn't do anything wrong." That sounded highly believable...NOT.

"Then why do you keep coming up with excuses to not hang out with me?"

"Jesse, I'm a Bella. Aubrey forbids it." I couldn't keep lying to him, so I told him the truth finally.

"Haha, that's it? Chloe, that's ridiculous. Don't let Aubrey dictate how your life goes. I know you're really shy and all, but if you wanna hang out, by all means, don't let her stop you."

"She'll kick me off if she finds out I've been hanging out with you. I really don't wanna be kicked off the team."

"Bumper is our captain, but I do not care if he says I'm not allowed to do this or that. If I wanna hang out with you, I'm going to do it. Rules are just rules. You can't always follow the rules, it's no fun."

He doesn't get it. Aubrey will literally kill me and we share a room, so there's no escaping her!

"Please Jesse, I can't disobey her. I'll see you in class."

"Okay Chloe. If you ever want to go out on a limb, I'll be here."

He walked away sulking. I felt so bad, because I didn't mean to hurt his feelings. But Aubrey is downright scary and I fully admit I'm terrified of her.

I decide to take a shower. After I embarrassed myself in front of class and the fiasco with Jesse, I just wanted to relax. I turn on the shower and move the knob to hot. The space around me starts to steam and it's calming enough for me to begin singing. I have always had a soft spot for Boys Like Girls.

"'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away,
I think of you and everything's okay.
I'm finally now believing.
That maybe it's true,
that I can't live without you..."

"Oh YES! You're finally singing again. I was also wondering who would be showering so late."

"Beca, get out. I'm naked, and so are you!"
She smirks at me and I can tell her eyes are lingering on me, which makes me even more self-conscious.

"Well, people do tend to be naked when they shower, Chloe."

This day just keeps getting worse!

"R-right," I was redder than the suns core.

"Aww, don't stop singing just 'cause I'm here. You have a killer voice."

"Don't compliment me, you're gonna make me blush."

"All the reason I should stay then." She joked.

Beca does have a killer body. Oh my... What am I thinking? That's so not appropriate, but it's so true. Ahh! Stop it Chloe!

"My eyes are up here."

"Oh, um, I'm-"

"No need to say sorry. We've both got great bodies."

How long had I been staring at her? Too long.

"T-true. Could you, uh, cover you're junk?"

"Sure, if you'll do me a favor. Sing with me. I bet you didn't know that's my lady jam"

"You're what?" I was so perplexed at this point.

"My lady jam. You probably don't wanna know. I don't look like the boy band type. And I'm usually not, but this song is amazing. So are you going to sing with me? I'm not leaving until you agree."

Beca wants to sing with me in the shower while we're naked?! I don't understand. Why now of all times?

"Fine...you're so mean though." I said with an aggravated pout.

"You're so cute though; especially when you're pouting."

This teasing is going too far. We're naked and still she insists on flirting. It's so uncomfortable to me even if I do like her. Ugh, in a purely platonic way...

"S-stop teasing me already. I'm not going to sing with you if you keep making fun of me."

"I think I'm the one calling the shots, not you. I said I'd leave if you sing with me. The longer you postpone it, the longer I'm in the shower with you."

"Since I'm getting quite flustered I'll sing with you, but don't do anything crazy Becs. I don't wanna have to retaliate in any way..."

Oh my gawd, did I just use a pet name? This keeps getting better and better...

"First of all, you couldn't hurt me. You're as vicious as a newborn puppy that's sleeping. Second, did you just call me Becs? I could've sworn pet names were used for people who are in a relationship." She said with a sly grin.

"Wow..." I barely replied with a fully flushed face. "You know me better than I do and I umm, honestly don't have any idea why I used a pet name. Sorry Beca."

"No need to apologize. I think it's pretty cute. But seriously, we've been standing here for awhile now."

"Oh, right," I said while being totally humiliated.

"I'll start okay?" Beca stated more than she questioned.

"I remember what you wore on the first day."

Then I sang the second line.

"You came into my life and I thought
hey, you know, this could be something."

"'Cause everything you do and words you say,
you know that it all takes my breath away.
And now I'm left with nothing."

We both sang the chorus and I actually got comfortable because I completely forgot we were naked.

"So maybe it's true,
that I can't live without you
and maybe two is better than 's so much time
to figure out the rest of my life,
and you've already got me coming undone.
And I'm thinking two is better than one."

"See, that wasn't so bad."

Beca's right. It was amazing and I want to sing with her again. Just not under these circumstances.

"Y-yeah. It was really nice. Maybe we should sing together again? Just not in the shower."

"Oh, yes. It should definitely be in the shower next time too," she suggested while adding a flirtatious wink.

"Oh my gosh, you're embarrassing me! Quit it, I don't enjoy my face being red."

"But I like shy girls like you."

"You don't act like this when anyone else is around! Why are you being like this?"

"I'm just having fun. Maybe you and Aubrey have more in common than I thought. You both don't know how to have a good time."

"I soo totally do know how to have a good time. Um, I'm just nervous and shy at first."

"At first? You're still acting all shy around me. Not that it's not adorable, but you always seem on edge."

"Whatever Beca, could you please leave. You promised." I sound like a little kid. She probably thinks I'm a loser now, not that I was cool before...

"Aww, you sound like a kid. "But you promised." I know you don't want to hear this again, but you're too cute."

"Grrr, I guess there's no point to argue with you. You do what you feel like...all the time," I point out.

"You're finally catching on I see. Good. See you later roomie! And two really is better than one."

I'm blushing again, aren't I? Some things never change. Lady jamming does frighten me, most definitely in the shower...

There's chapter 4! I hope it was okay and I'm making another story. So far I only have the first very short angsty chapter, but the next one will be longer. Feel free to critique my writing, I'm game for that. Thanks for reading!

Sorry to momo0424. I said I'd update by last Sunday and now it's a week later.

Sorry if the shower scene wasn't as great as anyone wanted. I'll try to update in a week at the latest :D
