Beca had previously been working on a mix that had contained TItanium by David Guetta in it and since he was an absolute god at making music it had gotten stuck in her head. As a result, she was softly singing Titanium to herself as she pushed the door to the showers open. She had gathered all her bathroom essentials and slipped out of the dorm room before Kimmy Jin could say any more degrading things about her. Beca just needed some time to think and go to a place just for her.

The showers.

They were perfect. She could let the nice and warm water cascade over her without having to worry about anything going on in her life right

now. Like Aubrey being a bitch and not wanting her to join their stupid acapella group, or her dad for just being an ass, or Jesse and his stupid cheesy smile, or the fact that she had been thinking about a girl who had probably not even thought about her once. Why did she even want to be friends with this redhead?

Shaking all the worries and thoughts away for now she continued to sing to herself as she made her way to her shower stall.

She spotted two sets of feet scuffle in the first stall and rolled her eyes. Two people going at it in the stalls. Real classy. Beca could tell that she had startled the couple but she did not care whatsoever.

She set her shower bag on the rail, wrapped her towel around the rail, and then proceeded to disrobe.

You shoot me down but I get up

Bulletproof nothing to lose

Fire away Fire away

Her voice cascades out just like the hot water. This is exactly what Beca had needed. A nice hot shower and some nice music. However, Beca does not notice that her shower curtain was being pulled back. She only gets out one more line of the song before someone shouts behind her.

"You can sing!"

Ever since Beca was little she hated scary movies. All kinds, no matter what they were. Even if they had a little bit of horror in them she would not watch them. When she was young her dad had forced her to watch one with him and it had contained the classic masked guy behind the shower curtain. Ever since then she could not handle things jumping out at her. Even if the thing jumping out at her was an incredibly attractive redhead. An incredibly attractive naked redhead.

Beca spun around so fast she almost slipped on all the water. Beca forced her eyes up and away from any private area on Chloe's body. Her arms snapped up to cover her chest as her eyes met Chloes. As Beca's back hit the wall, she finally got control over her mouth and thankfully said something normal for the situation she was in.

"Dude!"

Yep, that was all she could muster up. Since her mouth couldn't say anything more she whipped the curtain closed, just to have it ripped open again by Chloe. Her eyes were determined and she just kept them trained on Beca's.

"How high does your belt go?" Chloe reached around Beca to turn off the now intensely hot water. Good thing too, it was getting pretty hot in this tiny shower stall with this girl. Why would anyone think this is ok? Especially when they barely know each other.

"My what? Oh my god."

"You have to audition for the Bella's" Chloe said determinedly.

"I can't concentrate on anything you're saying until you cover your junk." Beca averted her eyes up to the corner of the stall.

"Just consider it. One time we sang backup for Prince." Chloe smiled with her perfectly white teeth. Happiness and warmth was just radiating off of her.

Beca used the arm not holding the loofah to draw the curtain to her body. Chloe may have been ok with being completely naked but Beca can't have a normal conversation with clothes let alone being naked.

"His butt is so tiny I could hold it with like one hand." As Chloe then tried to demonstrate while smiling like a crazy lady her hand hit Beca's shampoo bottle, sending it crashing to the ground. Beca would have to bend down in front of a very naked Chloe to retrieve it. So she did what any sane person would do. She gave it no thought and just bent down to grab it. Chloe let out a surprised giggle and Beca kept her eyes trained on the bottle and not Chloe's private parts.

Beca came back up and this time forced herself against the wall, "Seriously, I am nude." Beca briefly looked back at the redhead who was still looking at Beca like she was the best thing ever.

"You were singing Titanium right?"

That caught Beca's attention.

"You know David Guetta?"

"Have I been living under a rock? Yeah. That song is my jam," she pauses, "My lady jam." Beca did not think that Chloe could be anymore of a dork but she had been proven wrong. Chloe had broken into her shower and continued to tell Beca what songs get her off. This college is so weird.

"That's nice." Pushing the pictures that were forming in her head away, she was hoping this conversation would end soon. But the perky redhead just pushed on.

"It is. The song really builds," she pauses to wink and Beca sort of dies a little inside. So she plays it off.

"Gross."

"Can you sing it for me?"

"Dude no get out!"

"Not for that reason." Chloe just shakes her head at Beca, "I'm not leaving here until you sing."

Beca swears that Chloe is actually four years old especially when she huffs after a long stare down. She is cute as she pretends like she can stand there all day even if Beca were to leave. Her ocean blue eyes wander around as she bounces from foot to foot. Beca realizes that she can only end this conversation if she sings. So she unwillingly turns around, but keeps her arms covering her chest, eyes anywhere but on Chloe and starts singing.

I'm bulletproof nothing to lose

She gets only one line out before Chloe's soft voice joins in.

Fire away fire away

Their eyes meet and the universe stops spinning.

Ricochet, you take your aim

The world has completely stopped all around them. Beca's blurry life snapped into focus.

Fire away fire away

The can only look into each other's eyes and nothing else matters.

You shoot me down but I won't fall

Beca has finally found meaning to her life and it's the perky redhead standing naked right in front of her dueting with her.

I am Titanium

Beca has never let anyone in ever, but in these few seconds all her walls were crumbled on the ground and the redhead was banging on the front door.

As their voices drifted off and the moment was so intense, Chloe just grinned at her like a maniac and she looked like she was seconds away from jumping up and down squealing like a little girl. Beca could not help but smile at the girls cute antics and for a second forgot where they were and their current state of undress. Beca caught a glimpse of the land down under and snapped her eyes back up to the ceiling, blushing furiously.

Chloe seemed to understand what just happened and she looked down at herself. " Oh yeah I'm pretty confident about all this." She motions around her body, smirking.

Beca looks at her again, "You should be."

Chloe grins and hands her the towel but then continues to just stand there not getting the hint that Beca still needed to shower and that their moment was done. Beca tries to show that she needs to shower again but it comes out in a barely there whisper. As Chloe just stands there grinning at her a man pops his head around the corner, equally naked.

"You have a lovely voice." Chloe eagerly nods looking between the two.

"Thanks." Beca looks around awkwardly. Especially when they all just stand there for a second. Chloe catches the drift and pulls the boy

away, leaving Beca alone to finally shower.

"See you at auditions!" Chloe shouts from a couple stalls down.

Beca just shakes her head at the girls actions and turns her water back on. Who was this girl? She was crazy but cute. She had a way of forcing her way into things and that might just be what Beca needs in her life. Because even though Beca tries her hardest to keep everyone out it does sometimes get really lonely and she sometimes needs a friend.

She faintly recalls the door closing but she just closes her eyes and lets the hot water flow over her like a warm blanket.

"So I'm sorry about Tom coming in and ruining our talk." Chloe's voice speaks out from behind Beca's shower curtain. Beca turns around and can see a faint outline of Chloe's body through the plastic.

"Dude, I'm still trying to shower."

"I'm not actually in there with you, silly. This is totally normal!" Chloe's happy voice cascades through her ears like warm honey. Beca just shakes her head and smiles, scuffling her toes against the tiles.

"You don't really understand boundaries, do you?"

"No, I totally do! I just like getting to know people and know everything about them. Even though you have a scary ear spike and loads of eyeliner on you're not fooling me. You're secretly a good person. A person who tries to push everyone away but in reality needs a friend. Needs someone who will always be there with them." Chloe's voice softens as Beca swallows the lump in her throat that had formed.

"Or maybe I am just a bad person? Ever thought about that?"

"No way. You wouldn't have dueted with me if you were really a bad person. One day I'm gonna show you that you are worth saving Beca. But it all has to start with you, sweetie. Come to auditions." Beca saw Chloe trace the plastic as if she was trying to touch Beca and then her shadow disappeared. Seconds later, the door closed.

Beca let out a huge breath of air and slumped against the tile wall. Now she had to decide if she wanted to change her life and see what the perky redhead had in store or to keep being the lonely badass DJ.

Decisions, decisions.
