A/N Just a really quick update as a filler before I head into work. I'll have another one up either tonight or tomorrow. Nothing too heavy in this chapter.

Chloe sat on the edge of her tub as she stared at her feet. She was happy to be back at Barden but avoiding Tom was growing increasingly hard. You're a worthless whore. Chloe's eyes narrowed as the familiar yet unwanted voices filled her already overwhelmed mind.Stupid little whore. Chloe shook her head and squeezed her eyes shut before standing up to brush her teeth. Her eyes shifted as they settled on her reflection. Ugly slut. One voice screamed. Kill yourself! Came another. Do you really think anyone would miss you? Chloe was gripping the edge of the counter so hard that her knuckles hurt. "Please just go away." She whined to the empty room. Chloe. Chloe. Chloe. Chloe. Chloe. Worthless Chloe. Pour little whore. Chloe. Chloe. Chloe. Chloe. The voices all joined together causing Chloe to drop to her knees, covering her ears in a desperate attempt to shut the voices off. "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HEAD!" She screamed before collapsing into a heap of tears on the floor. After what seemed like forever she composed herself and walked outside. Finding Aubrey standing at the Bella booth she smiled. Wishing she had taken something before she left their apartment. The paused out flyers and talked about auditions with a few girls before Chloe was about to give up. Feeling another fit coming on she shifted uncomfortably before her eyes landed on a brunette walking towards them. Chloe grinned brightly, ignoring the buzzing in her head. "Hi." Her face lighting up when the brunette smiled back.

"I didn't know you went to Barden?" The mystery girl cocked her head to one side curiously.

"Yeah. Yeah me either." Chloe paused giggling. "I mean I knew that I go here. I just didn't know you went here."

"Yeah." Replied the shorter woman. "I'm Beca." She smiled lazily.

"Beca." Chloe repeated happily. "This is Aubrey; I can't remember if you met her." Chloe added.

"Stacey's mom." Beca retorted with her signature grin on her face. Aubrey scoffed and stomped her foot. Chlo just giggled at the interaction. "Sore subject?" She fired.

"Aca-excuse me?" Aubrey's voice rose. Chloe beamed before handing Beca a flyer. She stared down at it awkwardly.

"I don't sing, but I wanted to tell you that your show at Riff Off was awesome." Beca leaned back. "It was great to see you." She turned on her heel and walked away before Chloe could say anything. Leaving Chloe dumbfounded as she stood there staring after her.

"She was there?" Chloe whispered to herself. Don't waste your time red. No one wants you. Chloe clenched her teeth as she let the voice's words settle in her heart. They're probably right.

"No Taylor you're not listening!" Beca shouted anxiously into the phone. Earning a string of profanities from her older sibling. "Sorry." She muttered an apology for yelling

. "No, but Chloe. The redhead from the bar. The one that sang your songs…" Beca paused to listen to sister's interruption. "Yeah, the hot one with the killer eyes. Anyways, she goes to school here. I saw her today. She wanted me to adudition for this lame acapella thing."

"Do it short stack." Her sister promted.

"I can't sing so just no. Anyways like what do I do?" Beca whined.

"Don't be a pussy. Talk to her. Ask her out. No, don't do that. Just talk to her. You heard that killer tribute to you. She used MY song for you. Come on the girl has to be a keeper." Taylor teased at Beca's expense.

"But what about all the other stuff. Like…"

"Stop, no one is perfect Beca. You of all people should know that. Look at where we came from. Look at ME. I'm a rockstar with schizophrenia. Like come on. Don't be so dense. I'm sure there's more to her story then her daddy's money and recreational drug use. She's Chloe Beale for fuck sake." Taylor grew silent for a moment as a muffled voice came through Beca's speaker. "I gotta go kid. I love you, I'll put your name on the list for the Atlanta show. Maybe you should ask Red if she wants to tag along. And hey, take care of yourself okay?" Taylor disconnected before Beca could even respond.

"Fuck." Beca mumbled to herself after dropping her phone on the bed.

"Talking to yourself is an early sign of psychosis." Kimmy Jin spoke up causing Beca to roll her eyes and grab her coat. She walked down to the quad and searched for a place to sit. When she found an unoccupied space under a shady tree, she plopped down and put her headphones on. Pulling up a playlist of mixes she had recently done and listened intently. Only looking up as a pair of feet appeared next to her.

"Can I help you?" She half growled and half whined looking up to see Chloe staring down at her.

"Can I sit?" The redhead asked, hugging her notebook closer to her chest. Beca hesitated before nodding slightly, her Taylor's words echoing in her head. Chloe sat down and stretched out, obviously making herself comfortable before starting to speak. "So, you saw the show?" She asked a little nervously.

"Yeah, I was there for most of it." Beca replied while placing her headphone around her neck. Chloe frowned for a moment but her bubbly exterior came back quickly. "That song you did for that girl." Beca paused while watching Chloe from the corner of her eye. "It was great." Chloe just accepted the compliment before shifting towards Beca.

"It was for you." She stated before kissing Beca on the cheek and walking away. Mitchell what the hell are you getting yourself into?
