Beca watched Chloe dancing with Stacie with a smile, she was up in the booth getting all her equipment setup so she can start her set. She invited Jesse to come along because she knew they still needed to talk, sure it had been four years but Beca had been gone most of them and when she did come back to Atlanta there was never any time to talk about serious stuff like that. She started her first track and sat down next to Jesse.
"This is amazing Bec, I'm so proud of you."
Beca smiled and Jesse and nodded. "I'm proud of myself, I honestly never thought I would get this far but Chloe always pushes me and forces me to be all I can be, I mean look at us now, we fake broke up for the sake of my career."
Jesse smiled. "Chloe is amazing for you. She looks out for you, even when she was hours away from you and I know we never really properly talked about what happened way back when... I still think about it every time I see you. I'm sorry and I know I've told you a billion times but I am. I almost messed up the best thing to happen in your life."
"Like I've told you a billion times, it's fine... You were a teenage boy in love."
"That still doesn't excuse what I did, I mean I guess in a way it does because I wouldn't do it now, I'd like to think I cover it up pretty well."
Beca slightly frowned. "Jess you don't uh... you don't still have feeling for me do you?"
Jesse shrugged. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder... I'd never do anything though I swear, I cherish our friendship way too much."
"Let me know if anything regarding your feelings for me change... as in get stronger.."
Jesse laughed. "What would you do Bec?"
She shrugged. "I honestly don't know... but it might make you feel better, getting it out in the open and all."
"You might be right."
She leaned in awkwardly in hugged him. Jesse smiled and hugged Beca tightly glad she was being cool about everything.
Back down on the dance floor Chloe sighed. She was having a great time but honestly she wanted to be with Beca. She looked up at the booth and saw Beca smiling and laughing with Jesse. She was glad they were finally getting back to the way she use to them back in high school.
"Stace friends can visit friends in DJ booths right?"
Stacie shrugged. "Sure I mean Jesse's up there."
Chloe smiled. "Let's go say hi to our friend Beca, I'm gonna pick up some drinks for us first."
Stacie watched as Chloe got some drinks and smiled it was fun watching them pretend to not be together. She had turned down numerous chances of being with a hot guy because she didn't want leave Chloe alone, she thinks she came a long way. Chloe comes back with a smile and they head up to the booth.
"Hey what are you guys doing up here?"
Stacie smiled. "Chloe couldn't take being away from you, I'm her cover up, they'll say we both came up here."
Chloe nodded. "Can the cameras see from over here?"
"Nope only up near the equipment, do you really think I would have did what I did to you the other night if they could?"
Chloe smiled and reached her hand out grabbing Beca by the shirt and pulling her into a corner. She instantly attached their lips and Jesse and Stacie stood in front of them just in case.
When Beca's shift was over they decided to stay at the club a little longer and enjoy themselves. The four of them were now all dancing together, Stacie and Jesse often intervening when Beca and Chloe got too handsy on each other. All was well until a girl came up to them and started grinding on Beca.
"What the hell do you think you're doing." Chloe asked anger clearly being shown.
The brunette frowned. "I'm dancing.."
"Why are you dancing with her?"
The girl laughed. "Oh I see, you're still not over Beca, I knew you too didn't break up mutually.. Beca broke up with you and now you can't let g-"
Chloe smacked her making the girl instantly shut up. Beca's eyes widened and she quickly grabbed Chloe and took her to the bathroom.
"Chloe what the hell was that?"
"What do you mean? That bitch was all over you! You let her be all over you.."
Beca frowned. "Chloe... don't start, you know I would never."
Chloe sighed. "I know, I just get jealous.. Your so hot and everyone wants you.. they all think you're single now so they have a chance, girls will throw themselves at you."
"You have nothing to worry about though, although you just helped me speed up this whole process. You gave me a song idea, I think I know what I want it to say but I need your help with the parts for you. Monday morning we'll be singing a duet for Roger."
Beca woke up the next morning to her phone chiming. She picked it up and groaned it was 9 am.. way too early for a Saturday. She checked the notifications and rolled her eyes. Of course they were about what Beca said last night, how close they seemed last night, Chloe punching the girl in the face last night and them leaving together last night. She looked over at Chloe and smiled, she really loved that girl and the thought of not being with her killed her. She pulled out her book and began writing the lyrics she thought about last night.
When Chloe woke up she smiled at the sight she saw. Beca was sitting up and was very focused on her book.
"Whatcha writing Bec?"
Beca jumped a little from being startled but relaxed. "I'm writing that song I was talking about last night, it's called jealous.. I think i'm writing a hit. I just want your opinon on what I wrote for you.. I based it off of what you said last night."
Chloe looked over the lyrics and smiled. "Wow Bec.. this is amazing, that is exactly what I would have asked you to write. Are you sure Roger will go for it?"
Beca nodded. "It's a great song I'd like to think and he can never turn down a great song and I'll tell him I wrote it for us before we 'broke up'"
Chloe laughed and gently kissed Beca. Beca gasped.
"What?" Chloe asked.
Beca smiled. "You just gave me a kiss Chloe Beale and not just a peck like you usually do in the morning, but an I love you kiss."
Chloe laughed. "I do love you and you did help me a bit with my fear, I'm more comfortable now."
Beca smiled and kissed Chloe again. "I'm glad I could help."
Beca grabbed her book again and continued to write the song with some input from Chloe. When they were done writing it, Beca made some music for it and then they later performed it for Stacie and Jesse.
"That was great!"
Jesse nodded. "It really was, I love it!"
"I think you wrote us a hit Bec."
Beca laughed. "We wrote a hit."
It was now Monday morning and Beca and Chloe were in HotShot Records sitting across from Roger who was looking at them skeptically.
"So you two are broken up?"
Beca nodded her head. "Yup."
"But you wrote a duet about being jealous."
"We wrote it before we broke up and it's such a good song we weren't going to give up the chance of releasing a hit."
"I even punched a girl in the face for publicity because I was 'jealous'" Chloe grinned.
Roger nodded his head. "Okay then.. let's get you two in the studio and let me hear it."
Beca and Chloe walked into the booth and put on the headphones. The beat started playing and Beca smiled.
(Beca)
I don't like the way he's looking at you.
I'm starting to think you want him too.
Am I crazy have I lost ya even though I know you love me can't help it.
I turn my chin, music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting red in the face you can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous
Cause you're too fuckin' beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
You're too fuckin' beautiful
And everybody wants your sex
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
(Chloe)
Listen
I'm the type to never sweat no chick
Ain't nobody but you got me stressin' this way and you know
Now the struggle's always real
Girls be steppin in my space
All up in your face
How am I supposed to feel
I turn my chin, music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting red in the face you can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous
(Beca)
Cause you're too fuckin' beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
(Together)
You're too fuckin' beautiful
And everybody wants your sex
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
(Beca)
You're the only one invited
I said there's no one else for you
Cause you know I get excited (yeah)
When you get jealous too
I turn my chin, music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting red in the face you can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous
(Together)
You're too fuckin' beautiful
And everybody wants your sex
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
Roger watched them for a second and then smiled. They came out of the booth and Roger clapped his hands.
"You were right it'll definitely be a hit but maybe we can find Chloe a male to sing it with."
Beca frowned. "Forget it Roger, this is our song. Her being my first artist we will make music together, I'm not making any more sacrifices regarding Chloe for you."
Roger nodded. "Very well then. Let's set up a date and time to record. Tomorrow we will release to the press that you are getting your own company under our brand and that Chloe is your first artist."
Beca smiled and nodded her head. "Yes sir.. Does next Wednesday at four pm sound good?"
Roger checked his schedule and nodded. "Make it four thirty and we'd be perfect!"
"Done. Wednesday at four thirty."
"Okay then.. See you girls later."
He walked out the door with an extra pep in his step. Beca turned to Chloe and smiled.
"I'd say in about two weeks everything will be settled and we can finally tell the truth."
"Tell the truth about what?"
Beca and Chloe's heads quickly snapped to the door seeing Roger looking at them.
"Uh our parents. We've been lying to them about still being together."
Roger nodded. "Aw good luck with that."
Beca walked Roger to the door and made sure he was gone before turning to Chloe and laughing.
Later that night Beca was laying in bed when suddenly her phone began to ring, it was an unknown number.
"Hello?"
Hello? Is this Beca.. Beca Mitchell?
"Yes it is.. may I ask who's calling?"
I know you may not want to hear from me but I couldn't wait any longer. I heard about the break up with Chloe and I had to talk to you... I'm John... Mitchell.
Beca gasped. "H-how did you get my number?"
Riley.. and don't get mad at her. I took her phone when she wasn't around and found your number. I really want to meet with you and talk to you Rebecca.
When he said that she had flashes of a man calling her that as a child. "You left when I was two.. but I feel like I know your voice."
I left you guys and I'm terribly sorry. I was a terrible person but when I left I knew I had made a mistake, I had a woman pregnant and I was treating your mother and you terribly but I came back, I stayed close and we talked a few times, you didn't remember me as your father and you started calling another man dad.
"Yeah Tom, mom met him a year after you left. He was like a father to me the moment we met." Beca thought about what John said, about staying close, she remembered the voice and the joy she felt every time she saw him when she went outside. "Oh my god... you're the man who use to talk to me outside, you would occasionally buy me ice cream or give me a toy. You're Mr. David."
Like I said I was around, I'm glad you remembered my voice. My middle name is David by the way, that's where the name came from..
"Why didn't you ever tell me who you were?"
Because you were a kid and you would have told your mother and she wouldn't have let me see you ever again.
"I guess that makes sense."
I am so sorry Rebecca.
"John it's getting late."
Okay.. I understand.
"But I would like to continue talking... can you have Riley bring you to my house so we can talk tomorrow?"
Wow are you sure?
"Yeah. Clearly you care, I had you in my life unknowingly almost my whole life.
When you were fifteen my wife decided she wanted to move the family to LA. I tried to fight it but she wouldn't budge, I thought she would look at me differently if I had told her I abandoned you and your mother so I agreed and we moved here. When you turned eighteen I started looking for you again. I found out you had moved to LA, then you started getting bigger and then Riley came home one day and told me she was working for you. That was when I knew it was time to tell the truth.
"Thank you for clearing that up."
No problem at all. Thank you for hearing some of my story. I'll see you tomorrow at noon?
"Sounds good John."
Okay Rebecca.. Goodnight.
"Goodnight."
A/N: How was that? Was it okay? I hope so...
The song used was Jealous Remix by Nick Jonas ft. Tinashe
