A/N: Long chapter but hope you'll find it worth reading, many scenes of Bechloe from Fat Amy's POV. Also some background story on Bechloe-shippers' two favorite Bellas and a bit on what happens to Tom, the boy Chloe had been seen making out and kissing with in PP1.

Fat Amy prided herself in her ability to keep secrets. She's an open book to everyone but not when it comes to things people tell her in confidence. This was something else. Fat Amy could hardly contain it any longer but the Ginger had made it clear she wanted nobody to know, especially not Beca.

In fact, the curvaceous Bella would not have known either if she wasn't in Atlanta three weeks ago to do a commercial shoot. Not only had she been looking forward to the warmer weather, she had planned the final week of her trip for surprise visits to the Bellas at Barden (now with Legacy as the captain) and to her close pals; Chloe, Aubrey and Flo (the only ones who remained in Atlanta).

She had expected a small reunion with plenty of laughs. Little did she know that it turned out so differently that she could hardly crack a joke after seeing the redhead. And the Ginger doesn't want Beca to know!

Fat Amy also kept another secret, though she had sensed it and witnessed it throughout her years with the Bellas. Chloe Beale and Beca Mitchell had a thing for one another; that was apparent even before Fat Amy chanced upon Chloe's journal during junior year, when she was rooming with the redhead.

Titanium was the song they picked for the first audition after Aubrey and Chloe left captainship to Beca as they move on to college. Beca had convinced the group it's a song that really builds and they can test the singer's vocal range, whether they can do the bass notes better or the high notes better. The rest of the Bellas did not object, they trusted Beca 100%.

That audition, however, was disappointing for Beca. She did not feel any of the candidates were good enough, Fat Amy thought a couple were alright though she'd rather let Beca make the decision as she was more in there for the singing and dancing, not strategizing. The Bellas then discussed amongst themselves what's riskier; having a small group with less variation to their sets or trying to involve someone who they're pretty skeptical about. Beca was about to settle for training a new girl when an all too familiar voice filled the audition hall…I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose, fire away fire away…walking onto the stage was none other than Chloe Beale, beaming at her former teammates.

Beca's jaw dropped, she jumped from her seat, climbed onto desk in front of the stage and jumped across to lock her arms around the former Bella. The other girls followed suit and they formed a large group hug.

"Oh my god! What are you doing here?" Beca exclaimed as soon as she released her embrace.

"Miss me already?" Chloe winked.

"Hell yes! We're out of luck with this year's batch, either we remain a tight group or we spend more time training a new girl and literally pray she can be up to Bellas standard." Beca explained, she noticed herself talking really fast, everyone was a little dumbfounded at seeing the Ginger there, but Beca was more embarrassed she had hugged the redhead, and enjoyed it. Beca was not usually a touchy-feely type of gal.

Chloe grinned at Beca, "Well, I'm staying at Barden to be with you…gals".

The Ginger had purposefully failed Russian Literature to delay graduating to be with the Bellas, or so she told everyone. Fat Amy knew better. Chloe had been confiding to Fat Amy how she worried about Beca. The DJ is great at what she does, but she drives herself too hard and would withdraw herself when she is cornered or too stressed out, and Chloe is the only one who knew how to pull her back out. The look of melancholy and helplessness was apparent on her face when she talked about her imminent graduation; Beca meant a lot to Chloe. This was not just about the Bellas, Chloe came back for the DJ.

Once the Bellas had Chloe back, they all moved into their sorority house and allocated the 5 bedrooms between themselves. It was a no-brainer that Chloe and Beca became roomies, the two led the Bellas and had much to talk and plan about their sets and rehearsals. Stacie paired with Lilly, Jessica and Ashley were inseparable so nobody even thought of splitting them apart or grouping with either two, Cynthia Rose and Denise were dating so they had their own room. The 5th room Fat Amy occupied to herself. It was a great year, the girls got along great with one another, they outperformed the Treblemakers once again, and won that year's ICCAs with a breeze.

Then Beca and Chloe decided to add a new member to the group to spruce things up. Flo Fuentes became a Bella, she was an average singer but what made her stood out was her acrobatic skills which could help enhance their choreography immensely. Beca decided to room with Flo to train her singing more, and that was how Fat Amy roomed with Chloe in junior year, a little to Chloe's disappointment even when she knew the arrangement was what's best for the Bellas.

Rooming with Chloe was great for Fat Amy (at least better than it would with other girls); the redhead was neat and tidy, very accommodating, and she had highly regular habits and schedules. It made sneaking out to Bumper's a piece of cake. For some reason, she still felt guilty sleeping with the ex-Treblemaker, even when Aubrey's gone and Beca's actually dating one. Perhaps it's just that Bumper had been quite an asshole towards the Bellas previously, but his failures with his shortlived gig with John Mayer in LA did change him and he became a less condescending, more considerate type of guy. The thing she liked about him was that he was so similar to her, outwardly egotistical but was every bit insecure inside. Fat Amy knew Chloe would not judge her or Bumper, the redhead most likely knew about their flings too, but Chloe is such an angel it made her feel remorseful regardless.

Chloe never told Fat Amy about her feelings for Beca. The Aussie noticed it when Chloe would look longingly at the DJ and would always come to her defense when Aubrey was still in charge. Fat Amy's suspicions were confirmed when she chanced upon Chloe's small pocket journal that chronicled all the things that happened between her and Beca and how she felt for the tiny Bella. Chloe had been in love with Beca since freshman year. Fat Amy read her writing zealously, after taking a 10 or a 20 from Chloe's purse each month. The Aussie didn't mean to pour over what is obviously a very private diary, but she knew she could help Chloe by softening the blows whenever Beca unwittingly talked about Jesse or that German dummkopf woman from Das Sound Machine who Beca seemed infatuated or intimidated by.

Beca, she figured, did not have a clue that Chloe's into her, but when it comes to relationships, Beca never really had a clue. Heck, the tiny DJ couldn't even see how much Chloe affected herself too, nor did she see how Jesse was really a time-filler. Beca liked Jesse's company but he never really understood her, she tolerated him only because he was her boyfriend, and Beca had this silly idea that girlfriends and boyfriends tolerated one another. So she would put up with his antics, his movies, his embarrassing "Be-caw" and other outbursts when he's in high spirits. Fat Amy noticed how each time he does it, Beca would look like she'd want to bury her head in the sand. Chloe on the other hand, only made Beca blush when she got too close or gave her hugs, Beca would never cringe or complain like she does with others when they get into her personal space. The little twerp is such an introvert and so antisocial.

Fat Amy wished she could just tell the two to get together but she was in no position to, even when Beca continued to show how much she actually cared for Chloe. She insisted rooming with Fat Amy her senior year when she heard how Fat Amy snored really loudly and told the big girl that Chloe is doing so much for the group she deserved a good night's sleep more than anyone. Beca had noticed Chloe's growing anxiety and uneasiness and thought it was due to sleep deprivation (it was really just Chloe afraid of Beca being gone from her life very soon). When the Bellas were suspended from competing at the collegiate level, Chloe nearly lost it because her main connection to Beca would be gone. No more Bellas meant no more rehearsals or practices. No more Beca meant no more meaning to life.

Beca did not tell Chloe about the internship because she's too afraid Chloe will be disappointed in her for pursuing her own dreams and not the Bellas. It had not been her intention to keep this in wraps. She knew that having to do an internship plus running the Bellas would mean she would be the one not getting any sleep. She had planned to quit the Bellas soon after Kennedy Center performance to focus on her future, and was about to tell Chloe and Fat Amy to take over captainship. That was until Chloe suggested they compete for the World Championship to reinstate the group out of devastation and desperation to prolong her time with Beca. That changed everything. It fueled the fighter spirit in Beca who did not want to see Chloe go about this alone with Fat Amy. Beca knew she would never be able to forgive herself to quit right then and decided to hush up about her side job. Of course, Fat Amy found out soon enough from her usual habit of helping herself to her roommate's cash and it all made sense to her, even she noticed Beca's absenteeism since the beginning of their senior year.

"Beca, why didn't you tell us?" Fat Amy enquired that night when she saw Beca was up late working but with tears in her eyes. "Or at least Chloe?" she added, hoping Beca would again take the hint.

"I don't know. Just… 'Cause it's just easier." Beca prostrated herself and averted Fat Amy's gaze. Letting any of the Bellas know would likely mean letting Chloe know. "There's like so much going on, and Chloe would lose her mind if she thought my sole focus wasn't winning Worlds." Fat Amy winced knowing what Beca thought was far from the truth. Chloe's sole focus is you, you nitwit!

"Sorry it's just I'm freaking out, because it turns out, like, I'm totally not good enough to be a music producer. Which is cool and fun to know as I enter the rest of my life."

Fat Amy realized now is not the best time to bring up Chloe. The girl was stressed out and she knew exactly what the tiny DJ needed; a confidence boost, some humor, and some intimacy to make her cringe and forget what she's upset about. All that, she could easily do for the brunette. She proceeded to cheer up the girl in her own way.

"I don't want your butt confidence! I don't want your butt confidence. No! I have enough! I have enough! I have ENOUGH!" Beca squealed as Fat Amy tackled her to bed and smacked her butt playfully. The DJ pushed the big girl off her backside, squirming from being touched multiple times.

"Geez! What part of 'I have enough' don't you understand?!" Beca complained as Fat Amy steadied herself off her bed. The smaller girl was back to her normal self as she broke into a smile soon after.

"Well, you looked like you could use the best that I've got with that pout just now, Beca effin' Mitchell, and it looked like it worked!" Fat Amy retorted, noticing the tears and redness from Beca's eyes now gone. Beca smirked and turned back to her laptop.

"You know, you really ought to tell Chloe. She's a better friend than you think." Fat Amy suggested as she made her way to bed. Beca stared at the monitor in front of her, she pondered on her roommate's words for a few seconds. Unable to concentrate, she snapped it shut, turned off her bedside lamp and went to sleep. Fat Amy shook her head in exasperation, probably for the thousandth time by now since rooming with the tiny producer-to-be. Just when will she see how much the Ginger loves her and learn to love her back? Stubborn little twerp.

Fat Amy was pretty exhausted too from constantly trying to find opportunity to get the two to talk things out like they used to, now that Beca was constantly so busy. She had deliberately left the tent on their first night at retreat camp to leave room for them to chat. Through a slit at the side of the tent she witnessed the two turned towards each other, whispering intensely about something she couldn't make out as she was not within earshot. Chloe brushed a strand of stray hair from Beca's face and they kept whispering. Good sign, at least they're talking. Fat Amy was quite content with herself, but realized her satisfaction came too soon though, the little idiot turned her face away, ending the conversation with the redhead. Dammit! What happened? Fat Amy sighed. This is not going anywhere and I'm not staying out here, letting my sexy fat ass get mauled by bears.

She pretended to need to finish her business with one last attempt to get the girls to face one another again, maybe get them to sing? Chloe, being the sweetheart that she is, complied and started singing. I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel. I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor. Illusions never changed into something real, I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn. The song was too familiar, it was the most played song on Australian radio in history. Fat Amy felt for the Ginger, Beca must have fucked up badly again and the idiot is shutting her off. What the hell is wrong with her? The song was apparently from Chloe's heart and reflected her deepest feelings at that moment. Fat Amy decided to say something funny to stop herself from screaming at them both as she returns to the tent.

The next day, she witnessed for the first time the two oblivious lovebirds quarreling. That was a complete aca-awkward moment. The Bellas felt more uncomfortable watching them argue than when Aubrey barked orders or said whatever inconsiderate bullshit to Chloe when she was trying to exert control over the team. None of them dared intervene or say anything like they would have when Aubrey and Chloe fought. In fact they were compelled to steer clear from the scene. Only Fat Amy had the guts to try to mediate the situation. "Come on Beca, just tell her" she encouraged, hoping this would be the end of the tension between the two.

"I heard that, tell me what." The tremble in Chloe's voice was an obvious mix of surprise and dismay. Beca and Fat Amy were keeping a secret from her. What possibly would they hide from her? She felt a little hurt. Beca glared at Fat Amy.

Shit, I probably should not out Beca like that. Fat Amy knew how the DJ hates being backed into a corner and this was her secret. Think fast, Fat Amy! She tried to cover up her slip with some gibberish. Chloe didn't buy it.

"Listen, I don't want you guys to fight. You're Beca and Chloe, together you're Bhloe. And everyone loves a good Bhloe. So…." Fat Amy is at a loss for words, anything more she says will let Beca's secret out or the fact that they two are in love but are too blind or too stubborn to admit it, and Fat Amy is no teller of secrets. She decided to walk off, let these two settle their own score.

Beca finally decided to reveal everything, blurting out what she had been hiding as fast as she possibly could. She was so nervous, knowing Chloe would be so mad at her and she had never seen Chloe really mad at her. It would be so frightening! She was ready to get yelled at.

Chloe could hardly believe it, that's the big secret? But why? "Okay. So why would you keep something like that from us?" Chloe clearly didn't understand the implication and it was not the reaction Beca expected, she expected Chloe to reprimand her immediately, the bottled-up angst and fear exploded inside her and she word-vomited.

"'Cause you're obsessed! You all are! We're graduating and the only person thinking about life after the Bellas is me." There could not be a poorer defense, Beca knew how bright these girls are, she never worried about any of them, even Chloe who purposely stayed behind for 3 years. It was probably harder for her to fake failure in exams than to pass it. But Beca was in defense mode and she would get irrationally feisty when she is about to get defeated.

"What is so wrong about being focused on the Bellas? This has been my family for seven years!" Chloe wanted to tell her too that the happiest time of her life were the past four, but she held her tongue, now is not the time for confessions.

"Yeah, 'cause you're too scared to leave! Sack up, dude!" Beca too had always wanted to tell Chloe to seriously consider graduating, she cannot be staying behind forever. And this year was the last year she could graduate. Another failure meant she will be expelled from Barden, and that would mean a waste of 7 years there and Chloe's career prospects going down the drain. But this was definitely NOT the way Beca had intended to raise this topic.

Cynthia-Rose, who also guessed something is going on between the co-captains shouted "Girl Fight!" from the bench, eager to ease the tense situation playing in front of them. Aubrey did not know if she should intervene either. She read somewhere that conflict within teams can let both parties in opposition find deeper revelation about each other's true intentions and develop a better understanding between members. She's praying for that to be true given how aca-awkward this fight is turning out.

Chloe's not mad at Beca for the whole internship thing, her biggest fear is that Beca would leave and when Beca mentioned that same word, it kicked her in the chest, she too word-vomited "So you've been lying to us for the entire year and now you're just gonna flake out? Now you're gonna flake out when the Worlds is like right after graduation?"

Beca hardly knew what to say to that, Chloe had never sounded so stern and angry at her before and yet she's right. She had been irresponsible and unfair to the Bellas all this time. Completely backed into a corner now, Beca only knew one way how this will go down and that is to run and shut everyone out. The same way she ran when her parents divorced, the same way she ran when Aubrey dissed her for improvising at the ICCA semi-finals. She really did not want to be running away alone this time not knowing the place. "If you all knew what was good for you, you'd follow me." She had counted on Chloe to come chasing after her, the girl had always been persistent with her but that thought was violently interrupted as she got hoisted up into the air.

The little DJ looked so vulnerable and forlorn trapped in the net so high up while the rest of the group were at the ground. It was quite cute seeing the tiny Brunette kicking, screaming, and thinking she was dying. It's a rare sight to see the usually cool and collected Beca Mitchell now utterly powerless and in distress. Chloe with her teacher's instinct smirked and thought to give Beca a lesson right then right there, and let her have a taste of her own medicine. Both she and Fat Amy expected this net trap thing to have happened many times at Aubrey's camp so were not too worried about the DJ's safety. That was until the alarmed Legacy requested a ladder and it is revealed that there wasn't one. Fat Amy having no other idea how to rescue the girl stormed at Aubrey while Chloe tried her hardest not to freak out.

It might be the weight of Beca or her struggling that loosened the trap and dropped Beca a few feet down, causing more panic amongst the girls below. Chloe was worried sick but knew she had to remain calm, she had ordered the girls to stand in a formation so they could perhaps piggyback to get Beca down. She reassured the DJ not to worry when the net, along with the girl, fell 8 feet and to the ground, knocking over Ashley, Emily and Fat Amy who helped cushion the fall while the leaves provided good padding beneath so that nobody was severely injured.

Fat Amy always wondered if Lilly was trained as a ninja, to this day she couldn't fathom how the Asian Bella had climbed the tree discreetly during their little commotion and managed to dangle herself securely upside-down and cut Beca loose. As always though, the enigma of Lilly's ways would always be the least of everyone's concern. When they all came to their senses, Chloe grabbed Beca and hugged her tightly, she then checked her for injuries and shouted at Aubrey to bring over a first-aid kit. Beca looked into her eyes after calming herself from the fall and gently told the redhead she was fine. Chloe with tearful blue eyes gazed back. Incredulous, she wrapped her arms around Beca once more, squeezing the petite Bella tightly with an overwhelming sense of relief. She then started attending to the small scrapes and wounds on Beca's limbs. The other Bellas looked at each other in amusement, all realizing now that silent Beca is letting Chloe touch her without so much as wincing or making a peep. Fat Amy quietly ushered the rest of the girls back to the tent to leave the two lovebirds alone.

That same night, everybody decided to take it easy and gathered around a campfire for a heart-to-heart as well as S'mores. Fat Amy thanked the Aca-gods they finally got to eat!. She intentionally sat between the co-captains to mediate just in case they start fighting again. They all did not need another super aca-awkward moment.

Beca finally confessed she's not as macho and put together as she had wanted to be, her deepest fear was in failing, and she was even more afraid of telling people how she felt because it was weird to talk about her feelings. Introvert alert! Fat Amy mused.

The Ginger hardly kept her eyes away from Beca, even as she confessed her own fear of graduating, of moving on. Fat Amy noticed how she glanced over at the DJ, the person she was afraid of leaving most. "Yeah, it actually does seem like it, because you're barely holding it together," the Aussie remarked, wishing that would embolden the Ginger to say more. Of course, Aubrey mistook Chloe's fear to be career-driven and Chloe (being the angel she always is) let her remain mistaken. Aubrey's a good friend though a very inobservant one.

Finally, Beca, in a rare moment of candid self-revelation said something that moved every girl at that campfire. "You know when I look back on this, I won't remember performing and competing. I'm gonna remember you weirdos." She looked up and directed her eyes at Chloe who was attentively staring back, Beca couldn't help but avert her gaze. "It makes me really sad to think it won't ever be like this again. I'm gonna miss you guys." The reality that they will soon be graduating and leaving did sadden the girls, even Fat Amy felt a little down to think about their imminent departure when Chloe started singing.

It was Beca's audition song, a song Chloe memorized the very day after Beca performed it in front of her and Aubrey, and whoever was in that audition hall. Chloe had always wanted to let Beca know how awesomely proud she was of her, to tell her how mesmerized she was by that performance, and to sing the same song to her at the right moment. This might be her last chance. As the Bellas joined her singing, Beca smiled gratefully at Chloe, immensely touched that she remembered her audition song and what started her a capella days. Stacie saw the two locked gaze with each other and gleefully bit her lip, anticipating what's to come next, and Fat Amy was wondering if they would kiss or finally confess. "Did we just find our sound?" Beca innocently asked, directing the question at Chloe. "I think we did." Chloe replied. Fat Amy was anticipating they would say much more than that heaved a sigh. Gaah...you two idiots! Perfect opportunity and you waste it! Amy murmured under her breath, she sighed again, thousand-and-tenth time. These two were killing her. I'll stink bomb these dumb aca-bitches till they're woke if I have to! She thought about her own relationship and realized how much she missed Bumper.

She would have loved to know what would happen later that night if she herself didn't get trapped in those dumb nets in her spree to salvage her relationship with Bumper. Somehow nothing became of Bhloe as a couple. Beca and Chloe remained 'friends' though closer friends than ever before and they seemed happy since. Even now, two years since winning the Worlds and leaving Barden, Fat Amy could tell Beca remembered and cared for Chloe more than any other Bella. That was obvious, Beca's music was very much inspired by the redhead.

She read Beca's text again

"You heard from Chlo lately?"

The conversation unnerved her, this was a secret too big to keep. Chloe's tasking her with the impossible and Fat Amy isn't a very good liar. If she cannot tell the DJ herself, then maybe somebody else can, somebody close to Chloe. It had been 2 weeks since she's left Atlanta, it can't be possible no other Bella has found out! Weren't they all super close once? Fat Amy suggested Beca ask Aubrey about the redhead when it dawned on her. Does Aubrey even know? Aubrey would be Chloe's closest friend, the two even had a brief history with each other, though they chose to remain friends as the tall blonde realized she was more into guys than girls. Chloe was appeasing as always, she also experimented fake-dating Tom for a semester, who was actually a closeted gay, but as soon as she started developing feelings for Beca she could no longer put up with that façade.

Fat Amy recalled the time she told Aubrey during Aca-Initiation Party that she thought Cynthia-Rose was gay (it was obvious enough) and Aubrey gave her a strange look as though to tell her she's not the only one. Fat Amy had wanted to test if Posen was lesbian too what with her dead-serious oath forbidding the Bellas from having sex with the Treblemakers. She later realized that Aubrey meant Chloe as the other lesbian, and the oath was merely her trying to make sure the girls do not canoodle with their arch-rival, or perhaps it was Aubrey's weird way of protecting Chloe's sexuality. There are still homophobes everywhere and nobody would question why Chloe, as bubbly and inviting as she is, isn't dating anyone.

Yet, Aubrey was known to be quite inattentive to people's feelings, paying too much attention to bending people's will to fit her needs than to care about who they fall in love with. There is a chance the former Bella captain knew nothing and the radio silence on the group chat seemed to suggest she was truly oblivious or Chloe had also made her swear secrecy. Now that Beca is sensing something is going on with the Ginger, how long can this be kept under wraps, and should it?

The next day, She called her agent Patsy.

"Pats, how's my schedule looking now? I think I need to call that hiatus pronto."

"You're free next week and two weeks thereafter, I managed to hold or postpone everything until then, but they're replacing you for Cats, sorry Amy, they won't wait."

"Nah, it's fine, lousy part when they can't really see my face what all that makeup and whiskers. Damn shame 'cause they've got good songs and dancin'…but oh well, it'd be great if you can book me tickets next week to Atlanta?"

"Yep, just text me dates and time you need to be there and consider it done. Anything else?"

"All good…just need to pack and deal with jobs this week, really hope can make it back in 3 weeks. Thanks Patty-cakes!"

She sent the text to Patsy to make that flight booking, then proceeded to dial Chloe on a number the redhead had given her on her last trip, it was the only way to reach her now. She waited for the dial-tone but reached her voice message instead.

"Hey, it's Fat Amy, I'll be coming back next week. Beca asked about you, she's concerned. Look Chlo, you've got to let me tell her or you would have to. Give it a think will ya?" Fat Amy hung up to end the recording.

Then, she told her fiancé she needed to handle some Bella business and will be away from home for a few weeks, Bumper trusted Fat Amy and knew he couldn't stop her from doing what she wanted to anyway. "You call me if you need anything, okay? I'll fly over to wherever you are if you need sex or if they need my autograph." Fat Amy rolled her eyes but planted him a kiss anyway. She was always thankful her lover boy gave her all the freedom and liberty she needs without question, literally. Bumper has changed

Finally, after waiting over a day for Chloe to call her back or reply her voice mail, which the Ginger didn't do, Fat Amy decided to text Beca and Aubrey, halfway through, Chloe's voice crossed her mind "At times like these, there's only one thing for us to do. We're going on a retreat!" Fat Amy stopped typing and dialed Beca Mitchell instead.

A/N: Thanks for reading once again, next chapter will be about Chloe's secret, so stay tuned for more Bechloe. Hope you like that all the Bellas recognize Bechloe, especially Fat Amy who ships them from the beginning.
