(I DO NOT OWN PITCH PERFECT)


Rumors:Chapter 25-Homegrown

True to her word, Chloe lead Beca down the darkened streets of Atlanta with their fingers intertwined until they reached the back and locked doors of their High School. Chloe snatched a bobby pin from her hair under the green headband that was holding back part of her bangs and bent the cheap piece of metal back until it was as straight as she could get it. Beca on the other hand while Chloe was jamming the pin back and forth in the key lock, hoping the lock would eventually bust, admired how insanely hot her girlfriend looked right about now when doing something so illegal.

Her hormones were borderline reaching dangerous territory, especially with the very detailed image Chloe had planted in her mind that in fact involved her girlfriend in far less clothes and screaming an ungodly amount of profanities- like she was doing right this second but would be doing them based on the speed of Beca's fingers, tongue or maybe even both. And it wasn't much of a shock that Chloe breaking into a school this late at night did such a number on Beca and the alcohol definitely wasn't making it easier for Beca not to say fuck it and take Chloe right here against this locked door before security comes and busts them.

"Come….on." Chloe grumbled under her breath, just loud enough for Beca to hear and slightly snicker at how much Chloe was struggling. She was a 'professional' and all. "You little shit..", Her voice was becoming more frustrated by the second when the door still seemed to be lock tightly and in no effort of opening anytime soon.

"You're so sexy right now." Beca almost drooled from the corners of her mouth at how true her words were as she watched Chloe flip her curled hair to the side, exposing her neck at the perfect angle and using her toned arms to shove the pin in and out impatiently. Beca knew by just her actions that Chloe was equally as eager to get inside and maybe, even more.

Chloe only replied with a stern glare as she locked eyes with her dopey grinning girlfriend who was watching her intently. "Hush. I'm trying to concentrate." Then she resumed her focus back to the keyhole as well as her violent actions to get the door unlocked. After some more time, the door still wasn't budging. "Fuck me seriously!" Chloe seemed to reach her boiling point at how stubborn this door was being and yelled her frustrations out into the silent night that was surrounding her and Beca.

Only Beca could shudder in her heeled boots at Chloe's choice of vulgar words-that surprisingly, she still had on even after the eventful night she has already had. Still to this day-well night, Chloe and cursing tears Beca's insides to shreds. "That's what I'm trying to do." Beca teased with an evil smirk that even under the darkness, shined like it was the brightest thing on Earth. "But Ms. 'I Can Pick a Mean Lock' is taking her sweet ass time unlocking this door."

Beca could see the power of the eye roll she received from Chloe through the back of her head where she was standing and the redhead was just about to respond before there was an audible click from where the pin was shoved in the keyhole and stopped her from doing so. "Aha!" She cheered proudly before standing up straight and twisting the doorknob until the both of them were presented with a pitch black gymnasium.

Chloe pulled out her cellphone from where she kept it snuggly in her bra and made no hesitation when grabbing Beca's hand to quickly pull the brunette inside. Happy to accompany the redhead, Beca allowed her girlfriend to drag her inside, following the light from Chloe's cellphone so they could find the light box and brighten the place up a bit.

Not too much, of course, but enough to be able to see Chloe in all her glory as Beca takes her on her home court's tile. This was a moment Beca needed to keep in her memories forever.

Beca is about to whip out her phone for some extra light since finding this piece of shit little box isn't really working with just Chloe's but soon enough, the redhead caught a glimpse of a black box on the other side of the gym.

"I swear to god if this has another damn lock on this box I'm going to go berserk." Beca couldn't even hide the amount of amusement she had towards Chloe as she watched her girlfriend march up to the box, determined and flaunting so much hotness it should be illegal.

Luckily for the both of them, the box was unlocked and easy to navigate as far as what light to turn on. Chloe settled with only flicking on the lights that were hovering over the court, knowing that with all of them on it'd be too bright.

Before Chloe even thought about making her way over to Beca, she jogged over to the stands and magically picked up a basketball from in between and bounce passed it over to Beca.

Why there was a ball there in the first place, Beca will never truly understand.

She dribbled the thrown ball up and down against the tile, the leather rolling off the tips of her fingers smoothly without effort. Occasionally, she'd show off a bit and dribble the ball in between her legs since she knew how much Chloe loved how sexy her dribbling skills were. She stood and watched the redhead with hungry eyes while Chloe spun on her heels, facing Beca with her lower lip snagged between her teeth and slowly made her way over to where her girlfriend was standing frozen.

"10…" She began counting down as she walked closer and closer to Beca. "9…" Her voice was low, and raspy and Beca couldn't help the whimper that escaped past her lips. "8…" Beca finally caught on to the imitation of a game board count down and started to dribble over to where Chloe now stood under the basket. "7...6…" Her smirk did damage on Beca and she almost lost her coordination with the basketball when Chloe squatted low to block Beca's shot, giving the brunette a clear and very visible view of her delicious cleavage. "5….4….3….2..." Catching the hint that her time was almost up and Chloe creeping her way closer to defend, Beca lined up perfectly on her mastered spot at the three point line and took a shot, missing Chloe's hand as she came up to block. "1!"

They both watched in unison the ball fly smoothly into the hoop's net with an audible swish that echoed against the walls in the empty gym. Cocky as ever, Beca blew some air on her knuckles when Chloe turned to face her with an impressed grin plastered on her mouth and wasted no time in hooking her fingers under the hem of Chloe's jersey, pulling her in close.

"Buzzer beater Beca." Chloe purred seductively, wrapping her arms around Beca's neck and resting her forehead on Beca's. "You just made the game winning shot and I'm here to present you with your award." Bec barely had time to even process what was going on before Chloe was pulling down her tiny green and white athletic shorts pass her knees and over her heeled boots. Luckily for Beca, Chloe wasn't wearing any underwear, totally speeding up the process.

Chloe took a step back from Beca but not before running her hand down the brunette's chest, all the way until she reached the white belt that was accustomed to her cheerleader get up. Smiling at the dazed glare in Beca's eyes, she laid down flat on the tile, spreading her legs apart in perfect view for Beca and curled a single finger up, beckoning Beca to join her on the tile.

"Come get your prize."

Beca didn't' have to be told twice and she was down on the ground faster than she has ever moved in her life. Her hands had a mind of their own as they scratched up Chloe's torso with her nails, just under the personal made jersey-Beca's jersey- until her fingertips reached the brim of her girlfriend's bra. Her palms cupped the flesh under the silky clothing and she smirked proudly at the sharp arch in Chloe's back when doing so. She loved Chloe's breasts, more than anything in the world probably but right now, she had to keep the jersey on. Keep it on so she could, excuse her language, fuck her brains out while she wore her Barden's jersey.

"God, you're so hot." She basically wheezed the comment, eyes locked on the girl underneath her body, fiery red hair spread across the gym's floor and staring up at Beca with her lustfilled orbits. Beca retracted her hands from underneath the jersey and quickly filled her hands again, cradling the back of Chloe's neck and lifting her up from the ground until their lips met in a bruising kiss that left Chloe instantly releasing several throaty moans down Beca's throat whenever her tongue swiped against her's a certain way.

Maybe she would've spent more time kissing Chloe because let's face it, kissing the girl never gets old. But, what they were doing was risky. Trespassing on school property. Having sex on school property. She's pretty sure it would be the cop's first on the list but it wouldn't be anything special enough to get them out of a ticket so, Beca needed to get this show on the road to avoid that unwanted situation.

With one last suck to Chloe's already swollen bottom lip, Beca tore away her mouth and attached it directly over her girlfriend's pulse, loving the thunderous throbs that spread against her lips. Knowing she was the cause of Chloe's increase in heart rate, it triggered something carnal inside her gut and before she knew it, Chloe's legs were up and over her shoulders and her face was buried in between the redhead's legs. Wasting no time and not wanting to tease, Beca took a long stroke with her tongue through Chloe's wet folds and hummed satisfied when one of Chloe's hands made no hesitation with latching onto her hair, fisting the brown in the spaces of her fingers while the other covered her eyes in the crook of her arm.

Again, Beca used her tongue to circle around Chloe's clit, flicking the sensitive nub and hooking her hands around Chloe's hips to keep her from rising. The sweet sounds of Chloe moaning Beca's name were becoming louder and louder, which only encouraged Beca to speed up her movements. "Fuck Beca." Her name has never sounded so good coming out of another person's mouth and as Beca swipes her tongue aggressively, back and forth while glancing up from where she was, seeing Chloe pant her name with her chest rising up and down made her growl with hunger, switching her mouth with her two fingers and immediately dipping them into Chloe's wet and heated core.

Hips started to rock and begin to match Beca's fingers as they find a steady rhythm for the both of them and Chloe is slowly by the second, losing her sanity.

"Oh my god." Chloe voice was nearly about to give out as she whimpered against the cool tile and Beca was being anything but gentle at the moment, not that Chloe was complaining by the sounds she was making right now. Her fingers were pumping quickly in and out as her palm slammed against her clit. Beca hovered her body up above Chloe's writhing body until she was face to face with her flushed, closed eyed girlfriend, who had her mouth slightly open, trying her hardest to catch her labored breathing.

The alcohol was a helpful boost as Beca didn't even feel a cramp in her arm at how fast she was pumping. She felt invincible and was thankful for that adrenaline, as well as Chloe, who she knows would agree if she actually had the voice to speak at the moment. But she doesn't, and instead, she's left to release deep moans into Beca's mouth where her lips ghosted against hers.

"Fuck Beca, right there." Chloe said through a groan and uses her nails to claw at Beca's skin on her neck while her fingers twist violently through her brown locks. Beca winced at the tugging pain on her scalp but not once did she stop her thrusting. She nipped with her teeth to snatch Chloe's bottom lip, biting the skin roughly before soothing the area with her tongue and Beca can feel the puffs of air spreading across her lips short circuiting and she knows Chloe is close. So very close.

And Beca was right when the air from Chloe's breathing suddenly stops-like all the air was taken right from her lungs and Chloe was arching up into her chest with a silent scream that only Beca could hum proudly and swallow as she felt her girlfriend's walls tighten around her fingers, coating each digit with the redhead's juice.

Beca waited until Chloe's arch deflated back into the tile and her breathing began to sound normal again. Slowly, she slipped her fingers out as Chloe flinched at the movements after her post orgasm and Beca brought them up to her mouth where it stayed ghosting over Chloe's lips and licked each finger clean.

Peeking her eyes open just in time, Chloe moaned again as she watched Beca lick her fingers clean and moaned even louder when the brunette leaned down to capture her girlfriend's lips, allowing Chloe to be able to taste herself across Beca's tongue.

"Well that was hot." Beca's smirked curved against Chloe's lips before placing a few more kisses that were far less heated. "And you were totally right. Fucking you in my jersey was amazing."

"I'm glad I could do the honors." Chloe's voice was still a bit winded and a lot lower than her usual volume but none less still sexy as fuck. "You're really good at that by the way."

"I perform to satisfy babe." Beca's smirk was quickly replaced by another kiss that Chloe hooked her hands on both sides of her girlfriend's cheeks and brought her down, connecting their lips together with a muffled laugh from Beca in response to this sudden movement.

They got lost in their kissing for a bit, forgetting where they were exactly and it wasn't until they heard a door opening from the outside of the gym and a flashlight shining through the hallways they broke apart with a deer in headlights expression.

"Hello?" A voice came from outside and in perfect timing Chloe and Beca shared an, "oh shit" glance before they scrambled for the missing clothing. "Is anyone here?"

"Shit shit shit shit shit." Beca muttered, panic oozing from her voice. She hurried and found all of Chloe's missing clothes across the floor and helped her get dressed. "We need to go!" She whispered under her breath before reaching out a hand to help her girlfriend up.

"Hey you two!" The same voice was now entered in the gym and shining the bright light directly on Chloe and Beca. "Stop right there!"

"Come on Becs!" Chloe yanked Beca's arm towards the door they came in through, and ran until they knew they were out of sight and in a good enough distance away from the school.

Panting heavily with her hands on her knees, Beca lifted her head with a shake to her head. "You're something else." Beca wheezed with a lazy smile that was filled with exhaustion. Thinking she was in basketball, a cardio sport, she'd be in better shape. Apparently not. "Are you trying to get me arrested?" She reached out and curled her arm around Chloe's waist and brought her in close until their faces were close enough to kiss but northern of them making the effort in doing so.

"Hmmm, maybe." Chloe brushed out the fallen hair over Beca's face and pushed it back behind her ears. She took a bite out of her bottom lip while Beca stared at the action in a trance and it makes her stomach do somersaults. "I totally have a thing for bad girls."

"Well that's good to know." And Beca finally closed the distance with a passionate kiss, stopping all giggles that threatened to emerge from her girlfriend.

"Happy Halloween baby." Chloe mumbled against Beca's lips with a cheeky smile that Beca mirrored almost immediately.

"Happy Halloween."


"Rebecca Rae Mitchell and Stacie Marie Conrad you get your asses down here right now!"

Beca stirred awake - like she was just brought back to life, eyes wide and heart rate at a speed that one person's shouldn't be this early in the morning. There was no guessing that it was her father downstairs and just by the use of her full name and the piercing tone in his voice, she knew her and Stacie better start digging their graves now.

Chloe grumbled into the pillow where her face was pushed against at Beca's sudden movement before turning on her back with one eye squinted closed and hair tangled in a tasseled yet beautiful mess above her face. "Baby, what's wrong?" She mumbled a whine that if at any other time, Beca would think it was the cutest fucking noise she has ever heard. But right now, she couldn't focus on anything because she is positive her life is on the line.

Before Beca could respond to Chloe, who didn't for one second take into realization of Beca's petrified stare at her closed door and snuggled in closer to the side of her still very nude girlfriend, Stacie came barging into her room like a rhino with her eyes nearly bursting out of her skull, wearing a lack of much needed clothes.

"Warren's here!" This caught Chloe's attention and she jolted up from her position on Beca's bed with an equally terrified face similar to the other two. "God, Beca what do we do?!" Stacie was winded from wherever she came running from but also, she was freaking the fuck out since the both of them were originally prepared to spend the whole day cleaning so they would avoid this very situation.

"Wait...your dad is here?" Chloe asked worried, now fully awake and sitting up straight but sleep still lacing her raspy words. "I thought Tina had him out for the night and all today?" Didn't we all Chloe.

Despite the current situation, Beca caught and followed Stacie's wandering eyes as they traced Chloe's clad chest that was free and uncovered by Beca's bed sheet. "Damn Chloe, you have a nice rack." Beca's mouth flung open as she quickly threw her girlfriend the nearest shirt while Chloe covered her chest with literally anything in reach.

"Dude!" Beca screeched at Stacie's comment and soon noticed that she as well wasn't particularly dressed for company. Finding a flannel on the ground next to all of her's and Chloe's discarded Halloween costumes, she buttoned it up over her nakedness before getting out of bed and retrieved a pair of clean sweats for both her and Chloe. "Can you like….not do that right now?!" She wasn't just going to let it go that Stacie just complimented her girlfriend's boobs right in front of her.

"I have agree with Beca because if I heard correctly, it sounded a lot like my girlfriend was checking out my best friend's tits-who also happens to be your best friend's girlfriend." Aubrey came it not even two seconds after the comment with a jealous scowl and a sharp pointing finger at the taller girl who raised her hands up to surrender.

"Just stating the facts babe." Stacie answered honestly-which received a heavy eye roll from the blonde, who now was crossing her arms above her chest annoyed. "But they have absolutely nothing on yours." This earned a small giggle out of Aubrey when Stacie's hands purposely skimmed under her girlfriend's tank top and up dangerously close to her breasts that surprise, weren't covered by a bra.

Oblivious to the situation Beca and her were in and also, totally ignoring the presence of the added two bodies in the room, Beca threw a pillow off her bed, hitting Stacie right in the side of her head to stop the taller girl from basically feeling up Aubrey with no shame in front of her and Chloe. "Seriously Stacie?! Can you keep it in your pants for like...two seconds while we figure out what the fuck to do before my dad decapitates the both of us?!"

Stacie retracted her hands out from under Aubrey's shirt-but not before whispering something equally as inappropriate in the blonde's ear. Beca caught since the color of her cheeks just under her dilating eyes turned a bright crimson red. Stacie kissed her girlfriend's cheek before giving Beca her full attention.

"We can say we did this for school?" Stacie suggested.

"Oh yeah, cause this was such a school event. Just look around at all the beer bottles, red solos and I'm betting there's a whole box of empty and maybe used condoms scattered around the downstairs. Totally a family friendly and school appropriate gathering Stacie." Beca mocked sarcastically as Chloe bit the inside of her cheek to prevent her from laughing at the situation. This was definitely not a laughing matter.

"Like you have anything better, Beca!" Stacie snapped back, equally as harsh while Beca paced along the side of the bed with her hands fisting at the top of her hair.

It wasn't like she had anything better to say, actually. Nothing sounded even clever enough to cover up the fact that they had a gigantic house party for Halloween. Her dad wasn't dumb. He knew exactly what took place at his house last night so even thinking of a lie was a waste of time.

"Rebecca!"

"Oh fuck guys that's him again!" Beca felt like she was starring in a horror movie. And what made it worse was the sound of her full name being yelled through her father's mouth, filled with venom that was terrifying even from the distance. "What the fuck do we do?"

"Baby relax." Chloe tried, boy did she try to calm Beca down when she grabbed a hold of her girlfriend's wrist to stop her from pacing back and forth. Her voice was sweet and easy and for the most part, it calmed Beca down a little bit. Just a little. "You guys just need to go down there, face him and take consequences." Beca almost started pacing again at the idea but Chloe's grip on her wrist kept her from doing so. That was the last thing she wanted to do. Jesus, did she have a death wish? "I know me personally, I'll be with you guys every step of the way and whatever punishment he gives you, I'll help since I as well took part in the party."

"Same here." Aubrey agreed right after and connected her hand with Stacie's, offering her girlfriend and Beca a small and reassuring smile.

It didn't make Beca's current panic state just disappear- though the thought of her girlfriend and Aubrey sticking with them through it warmed her heart, but really, there was no other options. She nodded her head and helped Chloe get out of bed and closed her door behind them. The four of them exchanged a few uneasy glances before Beca lead the pack down the stairs until an infuriated Warren with steam blowing from his ears was in full sight.

The teenagers presence was still unnoticed as Warren kicked around empty bottles and cursed under his breath at the trashed living room in his house. "Just kidding. We can totally sneak out of Stacie's window since she has the roof. I have like 200 bucks on my debit card that could get us a cheap ticket to Wyoming so we can build a ranch and own a farm. I think that sounds like a better idea." Beca tried turning around to sneak back up the stairs when she saw how angry her dad was but Chloe stopped her by the shoulders, telling her girlfriend no. Taking a large inhale through the nose and an easy exhale out, Beca continued her way down the stairs.

Out of his peripherals, Warren turned his body to the stairs where the four of them stood, knees trembling in fear and Beca swore if he stared any longer he'd pop a blood vessel in his forehead. "Explain." He demanded, pointing around to the room that was so much worse than Beca remembered it being last night.

"Listen dad, we honestly just wanted to throw a little kick back for Halloween but the word somehow got around and literally the whole school showed up." That was at least half true. Stacie and Beca honestly didn't plan on a hundred plus people but were expecting a good amount. On her account though, it was Stacie who posted their address on every social media account known to man, writing that they were having a party.

"Small get together Rebecca? Small?" Beca cringed at the repeated use of her full name. Boy was he angry. "I can barely tell I have a floor in this house as it's buried under trash and alcohol bottles! Did you know I found a guy passed out in the bed of my truck?! Gave me nearly a heart attack Beca when he awoke from the dead and stumbled around like a stoned zombie!"

Stacie snickered quietly- though she thought, but was much louder than she intended, causing Warren to switch his focus on Beca to the taller girl hiding behind with a hand muffling her mouth. "What's so funny Stacie?"

"N-nothing…" Stacie cleared her throat roughly, not lifting her eyes once off the ground. "Nothing at all sir." Beca knew the girl was freaking out because of the use of 'sir.' Never did she refer to Warren as sir, not even when she first introduced the two of them.

Warren rolled his eyes, tearing his glare off his daughters to grip at the bridge of his nose. "I'm disappointed in you two." Beca and Stacie both hung their heads like two disciplined puppies who just got caught chewing on a pair of shoes or peeing in the kitchen.

Tina came in soon after which caused the girls to lift their heads. When she came around the corner, Beca and Stacie in unison mouthed a, "what the hell" and all she did in response was mouth back an "I'm sorry".

"I-I can't." Warren was so angry that he had to leave the room before he blew up. Plus, he wanted to check out the rest of the house to see if there were any damages or stolen items.

When he was gone, Beca spoke again. "Mom?! What the fuck! You said you'd keep him busy these two days, giving us time to clean up the house? I know I was a bitch to you when you came back into my life but getting me killed as revenge isn't cool nor fair!"

"Oh honey, I don't want you killed! Don't say stuff like that." Tina assured, scanning the room that she hasn't gotten the chance to look at yet.

"Yeah Beca. Take the dramatics down a notch." Aubrey quipped from behind and Beca had to use all her strength in her body not to strangle the blonde. They were friends for sure but Beca wouldn't mind roughing her up a bit.

"You teens sure know how to throw a party don't cha?" Tina commented when she peeked outside and saw the several empty kegs tipped over on their sides, along with more piles of scattered cups across the grass.

"Yeah and probably our last like ever since now I'm sure Warren is going to lock us in a cage and only feed us at dinner." Stacie whined with a pout.

And Aubrey calls Beca dramatic.

"Oh he won't do that Stacie. Just, let me have some time with him and talk about this whole party deal. You two will be fine." Tina gave Beca and Stacie a calming smile but really, how were they suppose to believe her again when the first time she totally left them out to dry?

"And how exactly are you going to do that? I'm not sure a BJ will stop him from chopping our heads off."

Aubrey's mouth dropped open and she slapped Stacie in the stomach at her crude words towards Beca's mother. "Stacie!" She hissed under her breath.

"Maybe." Tina just shrugged her shoulders with a small chuckle as Aubrey was prepared for something much worse. "But I saw a pan of brownies in the kitchen that I know for a fact aren't like the store made ones."

Beca lifted an eyebrow curiously. "You're going to get my dad stoned off of Chloe's space cakes to get him from punishing us?"

Tina walked back to the group after taking a few glances around the backyard and other rooms in the house. "I didn't say that." She smirked. "You guys told me it was going to be a small party. This is everything but a small party." Beca and Stacie both nodded their heads in defeat. There was no way around that one. "So, let me take care of Warren and I promise the both of you your punishment won't nearly be as bad as Warren intended it to be."

The group watched Tina walk into the kitchen, knowing exactly what she was going in there for and didn't see her again. Beca is praying that her mom will have their backs through this.


Thanking her lucky stars that she is still alive, Tina was able to calm Warren down when he came back to the living room an hour later. Of course, his eyes were glazed over and there was a hint of redness around the white but overall, he didn't seem like he was seconds away from ripping Beca and Stacie a new one.

Not like he was motivated to put a lot of effort in.

Like Tina said, their punishment wasn't even as bad as the one her dad was mustering up. Her mom even said that Warren was set on grounding them from the rest of the school year, forbidding them to leave the house except for school and as far as their girlfriends, they would only see them there. Beca knew that wouldn't last long since no matter what, her and Chloe are inseparable and she'd have to do a shit ton of sneaking out. No way would a grounding keep her from seeing her girlfriend. Luckily though, it never got to that point.

All they had to do was clean up the entire house from top to bottom- which but the way, was fucking disgusting with the amount of vomit, trash and beer spilled around the house. And don't even get Beca started on the bathroom. She was almost positive that she was going to either pass out or die cleaning up the nauseating mess her fellow classmates left for her.

Chloe and Aubrey, ignoring the demands from their girlfriends to go home and that they didn't need their help, assisted them anyways, cutting down the time it would've taken Stacie and Beca if it were only the two of them. It took nearly all damn day of scrubbing around like Cinderella and picking up trash around the house like a community service project but after hours, the house was finally squeaky clean, just like before when her parents left.

"I have to say I'm impressed." Warren said with a nod, walking around the house to check for any missed areas that the girls might of missed. Finding none, he made his way back to the group as they were flopped onto the kitchen chairs with their heads resting against the table exhausted. "Good work guys."

"Yeah wow." Tina followed right behind with a shock expressions as all the girls lifted their heads from off the table. "You guys got that done in like five hours. I expected at least a day of cleaning but lucky for you two, your girlfriends are nice enough to help you out."

"Thank you again." Beca smiled at her girlfriend with heavy eyes, who only placed a quick peck her lips before responding.

"Of course baby. This idea was ours as well."

Stacie said her thanks to Aubrey as well and was rewarded with the same.

"Well, I hope you guys have learned your lesson about hosting a party under my roof. Next time, I won't be as easy I promise you that." He warned with a stern glare and Beca and Stacie immediately nodded their heads in response. No way would they go through that again and probably will be the last time they ever throw a party. Too much work. "Good. Now, we are going to order Chinese food and watch movies if you guys want to join."

"Hard pass." Beca snorted and was soon agreed by Stacie, Aubrey and Chloe. "I have something else in mind."

"Okay then. You girls be safe." Warren made his way through the kitchen with Tina attached at his hand and Beca could've sworn she heard him talking about the brownies her mom made for him. She shook her head with a laugh because of course it would be her girlfriend to turn her own dad into a stoner.

At least it's safer than meth or heroin.

"So what's the plan for us you little rebel?" Chloe got up from her seat and sat down on Beca's lap, arms hooking around the smaller girl's neck as her fingers twisted the little curls on the back of Beca's neck. Stacie and Aubrey already separated from the other couple once Warren and Tina made an exit to the living room and Beca really didn't want to know what the two of them had in mind as far as plans for a Saturday night.

Beca wrapped her arms around Chloe's waist and leaned her temple on Chloe's chest, inhaling the sweet smell of Chloe's scent. "Well I'm exhausted and I really just want to spend the night and all day tomorrow cuddling with my super hot girlfriend. Maybe a nice steamy shower to get out the smell of post party out from my hair, maybe a few heated make out sessions along the way. And if things happen to go father, I'm totally game."

Chloe's laugh was high pitched when she felt Beca's teeth nibbling up her neck that aroused a feeling ticking in her gut like a time bomb and couldn't help but squirm out of her girlfriend's grip. "That sounds like a wonderful plan, Mitchell." She placed her hands on Beca's thighs before leaning in and dropping a few small kisses on Beca's lips. "And for your information, there's going to be a lot more than a few heated make out sessions here and there, I can promise you that." She whispered against Beca's lips when they split apart from their kiss. And with one more sweet, chaste peck, Chloe was out of Beca's sight and walking up the stairs to her room before Beca could even blink in reply.

Beca chuckled to herself once she gained her sanity back after being frozen in place for a while; something that always seems to be sucked right out from her body when she is around Chloe. Getting up, she followed Chloe's trail to her room and made sure to close and lock her door when she entered.

Today might just end up being okay after all.


November was coming to an end as Barden began preparing the students with all the knowledge possible for their upcoming finals that were taking place in the beginning of December. Why teachers all of a sudden freaked out about the material that the students weren't prepared for even though they spent zero to no time going over it was still a mystery left untold.

Basketball was still going strong for Beca, her team still basically undefeated-though they haven't even made it to the half mark in their season. Poms started up for Chloe and Aubrey and they were gone a lot during the afternoons but it didn't really matter since Beca had practice for basketball five days of the week while Stacie got a tutoring job at the library for kids who were struggling in math so she was just as busy.

As far as the two couples went, they were stronger than ever. Now with Stacie and her confirmed and mutual feelings towards Aubrey, they were closer than they have ever been. Beca and Chloe were basically a teenage married couple which isn't anything new in that department. How much they loved each other was actually sickening, Stacie's words of course. The four of them did actually plan on having Thanksgiving with each other since Chloe invited all three of them over to her house for the feast her parents were preparing. She even told Beca and Stacie to invite Warren and Tina to tag along as well as Aubrey's dad.

That was planned for Thursday as today was Tuesday, the last day of classes for the week before student were free for Thanksgiving break. Beca decided to invite everyone from choir down to a nearby lake that was by her house to enjoy the insanely nice weather Atlanta was having during mid winter and maybe have some much needed kick back time with her friends.

Studying was going to be the death of her, she knew it so, this would be a nice little get away.

Beca picked up Chloe from her house right after school so she was able to drop off unneeded stuff that she didn't want to bring to the lake as well as change. She came out once Beca texted her saying that she was outside and Beca's eyes nearly popped out of her skull when she saw Chloe walking out of her house wearing a plaid red and white flannel that was tied mid stomach, showing every possible curve and ab on her abdominal and a pair of tight light blue jeans with a brown leather belt. That was the starting point to Beca's breathing problems but when it came down to the white cowboy hat sitting delicately on top of perfected red and loose curls, Beca was sure she might go into cardiac arrest.

Or shock.

Maybe both.

God, she truly loved her ridiculously hot southern belle.

They made it to the lake not much later and everyone for the most part was parked around and either sitting on top of their trunk's bed or on the tailgate of their trucks, including Aubrey who surprised Stacie with her brand new Toyota Tacoma her dad ended up buying for her as an early graduation present. It was nice for sure, and Beca knew by how Stacie almost lost her pants when she saw the blonde driving the all black truck up to her house like she was born to do so that she was also a big fan of the new piece of metal.

But seriously, it was about time since Aubrey's last car was a piece of shit. Beca's surprised she didn't break down in the middle of nowhere and get stranded with the awful sounds her engine would make.

Country music came blaring from a fairly large portable speaker Jesse ended up bringing, along with two large coolers filled with an unlimited amount of Budweiser and Coronas that have already taken some damage from the rest of the crew who was already there. Before going down to where the coolers were to get a drink for the both of them, Beca unloaded the trunk of her jeep so her and Chloe would be able to sit back there and talk to the others.

"Thanks." Chloe smiled sweetly as she took the beer from Beca's hand. She watched Beca reach behind her to jump up into her trunk and when she did, they settled with letting their legs swing over the edge. "My favorite." She used the edge of Beca's trunk to pop off the cap to her beer and took a long big gulp.

"You know, I could never forget the night you busted open one of those bad boys with only a heel. I think it comes close to one of the sexiest things you have done." Beca smirked, throwing a wink over to Chloe before her girlfriend did the same thing to her drink.

"And what would be the sexiest thing I've done?"

"I'm almost certain you and I both know that what I would say isn't very appropriate for others to hear-" Beca took a look around the group of cars and saw everyone falling into laughter as Amy set up the bonfire directly in the middle. "-but also, this southern cowgirl look you have going on is making it very hard to not ditch this joint and take you against a stack of hay."

Chloe barked a laugh and it tickled Beca's insides. The sound was sweet and so contagious that it caused Beca to the do the same. "Save a horse, ride a cowgirl babe." She finally said once she stopped laughing and she transformed right back into that flirty demeanor that left Beca speechless.

Still to this day, she always wonders how the hell did she get so fucking lucky?

"Are you guys ready for quarterfinals?" Cynthia Rose spoke up once the fire was lit. She made her way over to Amy's car, joining the blonde on the trunk of her car. "Gail seems to be losing her bolts by the second with setting up our performance."

"Shit, it doesn't surprise me." Beca snorted, taking a swig of her beer and letting the cool liquid stream down her throat "What? Only two weeks until we perform and just today we found what song to do. I'd be flipping out too." One of her arms snaked around Chloe's waist, scooting her closer. "But I have a feeling we are going to do great."

"Yeah, especially with Chloe soloing this time around." Jesse said, raising his beer up to the redhead who ducked her head into her chest shyly. Everyone agreed to this simultaneously with a few claps and cheers here and there and Beca leaned in close to plant a kiss on the rising blush across Chloe's cheeks. She was proud of her girlfriend, not only because of her voice but simply because she knew the girl earned it. There was nothing in her mind that was set on Chloe not winning this for their group. She was truly amazing and had a killer voice that deserved to be heard.

"What is everyone's plans next year for school?" Emily said under Benji's arm, who also happened to join choir immediately once Beca found out about the girl's voice when she was caught singing in the locker room showers one day after practice. Having no other choice and slightly terrified of Beca to be honest, she had a meeting with Gail and she was happy to add her to the roster. She may be small but jeez, the girl was feisty.

"Well, I'm applying for a bunch of school down west, hopefully California. I really want to pursue my dreams and score movies, so getting accepted into a school down there will be perfect. Also, Amanda is going to try getting into some acting classes which would be perfect." Jesse explained with a goofy grin. Amanda was Jesse's new but not so new girlfriend.

Beca was happy that he found a girl that was in it for the long run. She still partially felt responsible for helping Stacie steal his girlfriend-even though they weren't a great match and bound to break up sooner or later. Amanda was great for him though.

Same goofy person in a female's body.

Amy raised her hand to speak, "I'm set on moving down to somewhere sick like Tulsa or Little Rock-"

"Ew why?" Beca interrupted with a disgusted scowl and a raise to her eyebrow. "When you said somewhere sick I was expecting like Hawaii or New York. Not Oklahoma and Arkansas."

"The men, of course. Also, it will give me a chance to get away from my boyfriends for a while." Amy replied simply, causing Beca to roll her eyes because of course. Bumper on the other hand scoffed into his jacket at the mentions of boyfriends and all Amy did was shrug with a wink.

There was definitely something going on there between the two of them weirdly, that Beca couldn't pin point. She made a mental note to ask the Australian about it later.

"Well for me, I hope to get accepted into Barden next year so I can be close to my family and Emily." Benji said, placing a soft kiss to Emily's cheek that Beca couldn't help but smile at the couple. "Maybe major in magic or something nerdy like that."

"And minor in something Star Wars related." Emily added with a giggle and the entire group joined in right after.

That was except for Beca.

She hated talking about this stuff, the future and all and seeing Benji and Emily talking out theirs, together, didn't make how she felt about the future easier. It was scary. No, fucking terrifying and the slightest thought of Chloe not being with her through it made her sick to her stomach.

"Okay." Beca had to end this conversation soon before she ended up breaking down in front of her friends and even worse, Chloe. "Let's talk about something else." Her awkward laugh right after saying this didn't go unnoticed by her girlfriend though it did with everyone else.

Chloe was a little taken back by the demand, Beca could sense it in the way her body practically deflated in her arms but didn't make much of it. Beca knew the conversation between their plans for the future was inevitable to come up soon but for now, she wanted to avoid it as long as possible.

Deciding to not push the brunette any farther, "You want another one?" Chloe pointed at Beca's empty beer bottle before grabbing it and hopping off the trunk.

"Yeah sure." Beca smiled genuinely and watched Chloe skip her way over to the coolers, grabbing the both of them another beer and swaying her hips back to where she was sitting. When Chloe came back with two opened bottles of fresh beer, she handed one to Beca before positioning herself in between Beca's legs that hung off the edge of the trunk.

"Thank you." Beca kissed Chloe's cheek from behind, leaning her chin in the divot of her girlfriend's neck and wrapping both arms around Chloe's waist.

Known strings from the beginning of a country song started playing though the speaker outside, catching everyone's attention with wide eyes.

"I love this song!" Chloe gushed excitedly and Beca already felt the rocking of Chloe's hips where she was positioned snuggly around her thighs, knowing the girl was about to start dancing.

"Same here!" Aubrey as well agreed with Chloe and Beca and Stacie exchanged a look that read how much they adored their country girls.

You know I like my chicken fried

And cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

Chloe and Aubrey began belting the lyrics that was soon joined by the others around. Beca only laughed to herself at her crazy friends but soon, couldn't help but ignore her girlfriend any longer and she joined her with a perfect harmonize.

Damn Chloe and her country influence.

Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia Pine

And that's home you know

Sweet tea, pecan pie, and homemade wine

Where the peaches grow

And my house it's not much to talk about

But it's filled with love that's grown in southern ground

And a little bit of chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

I love to see the sun rise

See the love in my woman's eyes

Feel the touch of a precious child

And know a mother's love

By now, everyone was singing the song, dancing and spinning around with their partners and Beca took a moment to cherish this scene with the people she loved most. It was sweet and something she wouldn't trade for the world not matter what it was. How the hell did she get blessed with such amazing people in her life? Going into Georgia as the new kid, with zero friends-except for Stacie that is- and almost four months later, she has already bonded with these weirdos enough to call them her second family.

It was common but it wasn't a lie either.

She really did love every single one of them with all her heart.


As the night slowly wrapped up, everyone started disbursing and making their way back home to either work on homework or had stuff to do. It wasn't until they were alone that Chloe, Beca, Stacie and Aubrey decided to say a little longer, just enjoying each other's company and the sunset taking place across the lake.

"This is nice." Chloe hummed, still standing comfortably in between Beca's legs, her hands resting over Beca's forearms as the brunette traced small patterns with her fingers against Chloe's skin just above the top of her jeans. She leaned the back of her head against Beca's shoulder and stared out into the lake where the orange and pink rays of light glowed across the gentle, waving water.

"I have to agree with Red here." Stacie said from her position lying down on Aubrey's stomach in the truck's tailgate as the blonde lifted herself up by her elbows while one of her hands combed through Stacie's long black hair. "Even if I have like a hundred mosquitoes bites on my legs."

"I told you to put bug spray on before we left now didn't I?" Aubrey teased with a chuckle and smacked Stacie's arm playfully.

"You should really listen to your girlfriend." Beca should've known by this added comment she would get the middle finger in return. She scoffed a laugh before turning her attention back towards the lake, watching the sun slowly descending down behind the forest's trees.

"Yeah whatever."

Silence surrounded the four of them for a bit-except the sounds of firewood crackling under the flames and crickets chirping in the distance. It wasn't awkward and in fact, it was peaceful.

"I'm going to miss this." Chloe broke the silence, her voice lower than before Beca caught and it caused her to twist her head to the side so she could look at the side of Chloe's face. And just like her tone, the reflection from the sun's light hitting the water showed her eyes shimmering with sadness as they stared without even a blink into the water. Misty as ever. "Emily really had me thinking back there. What am I going to do without you guys next year? Without Aubrey, without Stacie and God, don't even get me started about you Beca."

Beca knew this conversation was destined to come but she didn't expect it to come so soon. God, she was not prepared for this one bit. She looked over to Aubrey's truck tailgate where her friends were and saw Stacie talking intently with Aubrey, who had her face nuzzled in Stacie's neck. Things didn't look like they were going very well over there as the sounds of sniffles made their way to Beca's hearing and she took it that they as well were having the good ol' college talk.

"Hey look at me-" Beca used her finger to hook under Chloe's chin, twisting her head so she could see her face eye to eye. Maybe it was a mistake because Beca could see the tears pooling under those pale blue and seconds away from escaping. Something Beca knows for a fact she wouldn't be strong enough to stand against if she were to cry, "-don't say that. We will always be together. All four of us."

"Really Beca? Because we haven't ever once talked about our plans for next year. Jesus, I could be going out of the country for school next year and if that happens, will you still say the same thing that we will always be together?" Beca wasn't ready for this amount of harshness coming from her girlfriend and it seemed like Chloe didn't mean it because seconds after she said what she said, guilt washed over her face. "I'm sorry Beca. I just-" Turning around in Beca's arms, she placed her hands above Beca's thighs before continuing. "-don't want to have false hope when we don't get accepted into the same school. It'll be easier that way."

"And I'm not going to sit here and say that that won't happen because it could, not that I want it to. But Chloe, I know we haven't been communicating like we should as far as our plans regarding college and I take the blame for that." Beca muttered, mostly upset with herself for keeping this conversation away from Chloe for so long. But it wasn't like it was the easiest conversation to have in the first place.

"It's not only your fault Becs, it's mine as well since I'm also the one graduating in 6 months. Maybe it's time to start talking about those things with you." Chloe shrugged. "I don't want to start planning my future if you aren't there planning it with me."

Chloe was seriously putting some intense damage on Beca's heart right now. She wanted nothing but to spend another four years with Chloe and maybe even more. Start their own little life, together. That's exactly what she had set in her mind when she got into a relationship with the red head. And now, the longer that she thinks about it, nothing and she means absolutely nothing is going to get in the way of that to happen.

"I love you Chloe." Beca tossed a small smile and rested her forehead against Chloe's. "So much."

Taking off her cowboy hat, Chloe placed it snuggly over Beca's head, loving the eye roll she got in return but adored how cute it made Beca look. "I love you too. Very very much." And she turned around in Beca's arms again, settling back into her previous position so she could watch the almost finished sunset.

Stacie and Aubrey seemed to do the same as Beca heard some laughs coming from where they were and it put a smile on her face that they worked-or at least talked their problems through.

Things were going to be okay with them, Beca knew they were. She had a hunch. And if not, she was going to try her very best to make them okay.

That was a promise.
