A/N#1: I'm getting better with the timing here! I will definitely finish this story so don't worry about that! I had more trouble with the Chloe section than any other in this chapter, that is why it took me so long. I had the other three done within days of my last upload. Anyway here is the next chapter and as always suggestions are appreciated and wanted as well.
Chapter Fourteen – Perform to Your Heart's Content
Clarke
A week had passed since their heart to heart and Lexa and Clarke's relationship couldn't have been stronger. They were attached at the hip to the point of Raven making jokes about them being Siamese twins. The jokes had no effect on them, they were way to happy just being them to care. They spent most of their time together trying to study but they always seemed to end up kissing and one of them was shirtless (more so Lexa than Clarke, she has a problem and she knows it). They didn't have many chances to move forward just yet because Lexa had been called to practices early by her coach wanting her to work with certain team members on details of their playing style, it was basically like she was assistant coaching the team.
Though now Clarke was on her way to finally get a chance to see Lexa in action on the diamond. There was a scrimmage game tonight for them to decide who would become their team captain and solidify their lineup before they started to train for actual season next month. She had yet again raided Lexa's clothes until she found her practice t-shirt that she had brought home by accident one day. Clarke had ran out of the dorm with it when Lexa tried to take it back, she washed it per the instructions Lexa had given her and now wore it with a proud smile on her face. Raven and Octavia had been there when Clarke did her laundry and now Raven was wearing Anya's as well (she just had to ask Anya for hers though). They both wore long sleeved shirts under them due to the chill that was still in the air. "They are either going to be super fucking turned on or they are going to laugh at us you know that right?" Raven asked from beside her. The diamond had just come into their view and green jerseys could be made out.
"Well everyone is going to know who we are rooting for that's for sure. I kind of like showing her off though." Clarke grinned and turned to Raven and saw her limp harder on her brace. "You doing okay? I know you are going to say yes but I just wanted to make sure. That brace looks heavy but I know you said it helps more than the one you were given."
"Yeah it does. It still hurts but I'm getting better, I will tell you if I need you." Raven was stubborn and everyone knew it yet Clarke knew that if Rae needed help she really would say so.
They got to the field and headed to the stands on the home team side, Clarke caught sight of Beca and Chloe sitting directly beside first base and headed that way. They were sitting close enough together that their shoulders were touching lightly but that was it. Nothing about them read "couple". They had taken the time to further explain their situation to Clarke one night when the two couples got together in Lexa and Beca's shared dorm. "Hey Clarke! Nice shirt." Beca smirked once they were close.
"Very funny Beca, you know she threw a fit when I stole it."
"She only made such a big deal about it because she thought she would get in trouble. Oh and she really wanted to give it to you to wear and you not take it." Beca got too much enjoyment out of tormenting her sister. "Looks like she won't get in trouble for you wearing it though if that one gets to wear Anya's."
"Yeah and I didn't have to fight my girlfriend for mine." Raven quipped while falling into the seat below Chloe. "Nice to see you guys again. What brings you here Chloe?" Clarke paled slightly and she was relieved that Raven couldn't see her face at the moment.
"Beca didn't want to be here alone before Clarke showed and we just got finished with rehearsals so I followed her like a stalker." Chloe chided while grinning like the Joker. Beca just rolled her eyes while trying to keep the smile off her face. Clarke giggled at them and noticed more students were filling the stands.
She sat down behind Beca and Chloe when Lincoln and Octavia showed up taking seats next to Raven. The group was chatting lightly when Harper, Monty, Jasper, and Maya showed to root for Monroe. The five had gotten rather close since the beginning of the new year, though sometimes Monroe would mention things about feeling like a fifth wheel, things didn't exactly work out with her date night guy. They were all off having their own conversations; Jasper, Monty, and Raven had gotten into some kind of debate about the best way to blow something up. Octavia, Harper, and Lincoln were discussing Greek life secrets. Chloe and Beca were talking about the Bellas with Maya and Clarke was staring.
Staring at Lexa that is. She found her girlfriend easily when they had walked up, they shared a look and a smile. Now though she was getting the chance to study her. The way her body moved as though it was second nature, how she hardly looked like she was making an effort in their exercises, how freaking awesome her ass looked in those pants! The green of the jersey always made her eyes pop but the gray pants seemed to accent the shape of her muscled legs perfectly. It brought Clarke back to their first date and the skinny jeans Lexa had been wearing. Lexa had her hair pulled back and braided in a single line down the back of her head. Clarke was so entranced by the watching Lexa's body move she didn't see someone sit down on the other side of her.
"I hope you are checking out your girlfriend and not mine." Clarke turned toward the voice to see Cam sitting there smirking. They hadn't gotten the chance to hang out with the other couple due to all of their crazy schedules but Clarke knew that Samm and Lexa were getting to be close friends from spending so much time working together at practices. Clarke shook her head with a smile.
"Sorry but yours pales in comparison to mine." She quipped at the girl, that was when she noticed her shirt. "I see Samm got in on the whole 'girlfriends are wearing our shirts' thing?"
"I always wear one of her shirts. I was going to wear her jersey from high school because she didn't know if this was okay or not but then she heard Anya and Lexa talking and knew that you had Lexa's so she gave me hers." Cam just smiled and looked out at the field watching the players.
"Did someone mention my hot-as-fuck girlfriend?" Raven had turned to look up at Clarke. "Who's your new friend Clarkey?" Clarke had almost forgotten any of them were even there while she was clearly undressing her girlfriend with her eyes.
"Oh shit, yeah, right. Sorry." She collected herself when she noticed all eyes were on her. "Cam these are Lexa and I's friends. Raven who is Anya's girlfriend, Lincoln, Octavia, Monty, Harper, Jasper, Maya, Chloe, and Beca who is Lexa's sister. Guys this is Cam James, her girlfriend Samm is number thirteen. Samm and Lexa switch out at first base sometimes." Everyone said their hello's and basically went back to their previous conversations. Clarke went back to looking at Lexa (noticing Raven looking at Anya as well).
"First time seeing them in uniform huh?" Cam asked from beside them. Clarke and Raven both turned to her with a questioning gaze. "I can tell. I had the same look the first time I saw Samm in her high school one too, and we weren't even dating then we had been best friends for years. That was part of how I figured out I was gay."
"You are gay?" Raven asked mostly for clarification.
"Yeah, both of us are. One hundred percent gay, queer as can be, no dicks just chicks." Cam laughed out along with them. "I take it you two are bi?" They nodded. "Your girls?" They both shook their heads. "Well that clears that up."
"Is everyone playing nice off the field as well?" Lexa was striding out of the dugout followed closely by Anya, Samm, and Monroe. Clarke felt her mouth dry up as she came closer. "Hey guys, thank you all for coming. You really didn't have to seeing as this is just practice and not really a game."
"I never miss anything Lex." Beca stood and hugged her sister, Clarke felt something burn in her chest. Why the fuck do you feel jealous right now? Beca is her sister for Christ's sake! Clarke berated herself. Anya had knelt down to Raven's height and kissed her, she was trying to make it easier on her girlfriend with her brace. Cam had already moved to Samm and was hugging her tightly. Monroe was getting a pep-talk from Harper and Maya. Beca released Lexa and green eyes were boarding back into Clarke's soul.
"Hey babe." Lexa whispered as she sat down next to Clarke in the seat Cam had vacated. Clarke smiled like a loser and leaned in placing a soft kiss to Lexa's lips. She felt long fingers curl around her neck and when they pulled apart Clarke moved to whisper in Lexa's ear.
"If you wear that uniform while we are alone you will be running a different set of bases." Clarke kissed just below the ear and felt more than she heard the gasp come from Lexa. When she pulled back she saw slightly less green than before in those deep eyes.
"Woods, Green, Richards, Monroe! Let's go they are finished and ready to start!" The coach was calling them back already.
"Who are you guys even playing?" Chloe spoke from her spot that was now slightly closer to Beca than before.
"Georgia Tech. They aren't in the same class ranking as us so we never play them during season so the coaches thought it was a good idea to scrimmage against each other." Monroe answered.
"Are they in a better ranking?" Lincoln wondered aloud.
"No they are a smaller school so they are in a much lower class. It will be better for them than us because they won't be playing our level of skill during their own season. Thus they get better trying to keep up with us." Samm explained. The three gave out their final kisses before heading back to the dugout with Monroe.
"We need to get her someone special." Harper added sounding rather sad. "Zoe is literally the only one of us not in a relationship, not including Chloe and Beca." Both girls just smiled and shook their heads, Beca rolled her eyes again only being seen by Chloe and Clarke.
"She will find someone when we least expect it, Harper." Monty wrapped his arm around her shoulders and rubbed her arm. The Knights took the field at that moment and Lexa made her way to the fence in front of their group.
"Bex, they are around my right ankle. I almost forgot to tell you." She gave Clarke a wave and took her position.
"What was she talking about?" Clarke asked Beca.
"Just her good luck charms, she always tells me where she keeps them in case something happens. God she really needs to talk to you about stuff." Beca shook her head and turned back to watch the game. Clarke ran those words through her head over and over trying to figure out exactly what Lexa could be keeping from her.
Clarke had been distracted by her thoughts, and Lexa in uniform, that she hardly realized that the game had progressed so far. They were currently in the seventh inning and the Knights were up by five. Clarke took the time to look around at all of her friends that were there with her. Cam and Raven had their eyes glued to the runners waiting on base (seeing as they were dating them), Lincoln and Octavia were cuddled sharing a bag of popcorn, Jasper and Maya were casually watching the game, Harper and Monty were on the edge of their seats as Monroe stepped up to bat, and Chloe and Beca were sitting with their hands resting on the bench on either side of them. The hands between them were subtly curled around each other, no one would have noticed unless they were looking like Clarke was. It brought a smile to her face knowing how much the two meant to each other. They stayed like that for the rest of the game.
The scrimmage ended with the score Knights 7 – Yellow Jackets 0. Yep they got shut out, there was no chance they were going to get very far. Their group of friends decided to head out for pizza following the game. Chloe and Beca called and invited the Bellas they even included Aubrey. Lexa told Samm and Cam to tag along because they were as much their friends as any of the others. In total their group took up a whole room at the local Pizza Hut. Once they all got in there the manager was glad he opened the room to them, they weren't the quietest bunch. Clarke and Lexa were in a booth sat across from Beca and Chloe. Everyone was happy and seemed to be having a great night. Clarke couldn't help but think about the future and how she wanted every person in that room in hers.
"What is running through that pretty little head of yours?" Lexa threaded their fingers together under the table. Clarke looked up from their hands at her.
"Just how I won't know what to do with myself if I ever lose anyone in this room. This is the happiest I have ever been." Lexa kissed her cheek and she saw Chloe and Beca smile across the table. Their waiter had started taking orders and was moving to the last table holding Monroe and her group.
"Hey guys I'm Drew." He paused as his eyes locked with Monroe's. "What can I get for you, besides my number and a date later?" Monroe blushed and smiled up at him. The whole room was silent as they watched the transaction between the two.
"I could go for some Mountain Dew and pizza but I will totally take you up on that date. I'm Zoe." Drew's face reddened this time, he swiftly took the last drink orders and left to place their orders. No one had spoken…yet.
"See I told you it would happen when she least expected it!" Monty shouted and the whole room erupted in laughter and cheers before falling into their normal rhythm again.
"Yeah I can't live without these nerds either." Lexa whispered kissing Clarke softly again.
Lexa
It was finally time for Beca's first big performance, and of course Lexa was going to be there. They both knew that Dr. Mitchell wouldn't be going because of something neither of them really gave a shit about. Lexa had asked Clarke to go with her for the drive up to Carolina University and she jumped at the chance to spend time together. After their scrimmage game the team had named Lexa their captain…well after Anya let her nickname slip…their commander. She had to spend a lot of time with the coach now before and after practices. It was starting to bug her, she didn't get as much free time to study, or be with Clarke and that was a problem because she really, really, really wanted to be with Clarke.
The time they did spend together always ended up with them getting closer and closer to another base. Lexa was used to hitting home runs on the field but she could wait years for Clarke. Beca constantly making it her life goal to always seem to have perfect fucking timing didn't help them in the slightest. There was payback though, since Chloe and Beca could only be Chloe and Beca in their dorm room, Lexa constantly found herself putting her sister right back in her place. The four of them really needed a code word or something.
Clarke and Lexa were in her jeep basically already at the college where Regionals were being held. Their ride was spent with them talking about the crazy antics of their friends, or stories from their past they had yet to share, or soft music from the radio. Their hands were either clasped over the console or resting on each other's thighs the whole ride, they were constantly in contact with each other. Once they parked, Lexa bought their tickets, they found seats, and had yet to see the Bellas.
They watched as group after group performed on the stage before them. There were mostly mixed gender groups and all male groups, it looked as though the Bellas might be the only all-female group performing tonight. Lexa hardly made it through the performance that had a group in cowboy hats and flannel shirts without plugging her ears. It wasn't that they were bad, she just hates country music. As the current performance ended Clarke leaned over into Lexa's shoulder where her arm was resting across the back of her seat.
"Who is up next?"
Lexa looked down at her program, they were only two performances away from the Bellas and they still weren't here. "The Sockapellas?" What the hell kind of name is that? "The Bellas are up after them but I still don't see them anywhere." Clarke nodded and rested her head down. They watched as a group of students in all black with sock puppets on their hands took center stage. That would explain the name. They sang a song that Lexa found herself liking and connecting with, part way through there was a clatter of heels on tiled flooring behind them. Lexa turned and saw the Bellas flood through the door. "They aren't cutting it close or anything." Lexa whispered in a laugh to Clarke who followed her gaze and smiled once she saw them.
Once the Sockapellas left the stage the Bellas were introduced, Lexa and Clarke clapped and cheered as they saw Beca leading them on stage. As they started their set Lexa felt her hope for them fall, they chose slower songs and no one but Chloe, Aubrey, and Stacie (who was basically flirting with the whole crowd) looked like they were enjoying themselves. When they flipped to Eternal Flame she saw Fat Amy roll her eyes, I could have sworn Beca would be the first to do that! Their set seemed to drag on and Lexa finally realized why Beca hadn't told her about their first performance. They could see the pain in Chloe's eyes as she hit her last note on her solo before discreetly passing the microphone to Fat Amy as they began the last portion of their set. Lexa could tell her nodes were getting worse, her mother had the same look all those years ago.
As Fat Amy began her solo the crowd really began to respond to the performance. Lexa could actually see Beca smiling at the display of the bodacious blonde. Clarke was bouncing her head along with the beat, Lexa was listening for any imperfection in their harmony. Lexa had inherited her mother's love of music and her impeccable hearing. She could spot a sour note in a second, the Bellas may have not been all together with their movements or facial expressions but their vocals were actually very good. If they chose the right song or combination of songs they could go very far. She was enjoying their performance now and how Beca finally seemed to be opening up to the crowd and really getting into it. As Fat Amy started to take off her blazer and throw it across the stage, Lexa grinned knowing what was coming. The second the song ended and Amy ripped open her button down to reveal her tank top underneath Lexa was on her feet screaming and cheering for her sister.
Their performance was actually very good and fun to watch, once you got past the slow agonizing shit in the beginning. She caught Beca's eye as she made her way to the back of the auditorium to stand with the others and gave her smile while mouthing 'you did great'. She caught Chloe as well and gave her happy nod for her solos, then she saw Aubrey glare at her. As she watched them head to the back she saw Aubrey glare at Jesse (Beca's friend from the radio station that just so happened to be a Treblemaker) when he looked like he was talking to Beca. That bitch really does have problems. Lexa sat back down with her arm secured around Clarke again as the Treblemakers made their way to the stage, in total boy-like fashion.
Their performance was great and the audience loved them too. They were definitely the crowd favorite. Shit, they were even Lexa's favorite and she was totally biased because of Beca. So when it came time for the awards to be handed out, she felt herself worry. "The top two teams head on to semifinals. It's no secret that the Treblemakers won, I just hope the Bellas were able to get up there." She whispered in Clarke's ear who nodded along with her statement. Luckily they did come in second behind the Trebles who make their overly excited exit out the back again. Lexa held fast to Clarke's hand as they made their way through the crowd to find Beca and Chloe.
As they entered the lobby they were met with the sight of the Bellas watching over the Treblemakers who seemed to be in a heated argument with an older acapella group of men so called the Tonehangers. One of the guys pulled Jesse aside telling him to fight him and Jesse was saying no and trying to walk away. Lexa heard Beca speak then. "I'm just gonna…" She instantly grabbed her shoulder.
"No Beca you won't. He is doing the right thing by walking away, you should too." Beca nodded but Amy headed into the fight. Lexa let go of Beca and Clarke to follow her. She got to her just before she could join in. "Amy reel it in. This is not your fight, you can take any one of them I know. I heard about the dingoes and such, just walk away. No one needs to get hurt." Amy seemed to listen to her and she funneled the Bellas out the back door toward their waiting bus. Clarke caught up to her then as well and gave her a kiss on the cheek. The couple headed out towards the Jeep to follow behind the Bellas bus in case they made a stop before they got back to Barden.
Down the alley along the side of the building Lexa could see the Bellas loading the bus, Beca bringing up the rear of the group just behind Chloe. Then she saw a figure move among the shadows following them. Lexa threw her keys at Clarke and told her to get in and wait for her. Clarke saw the look in her eyes and thankfully listened as Lexa took off toward her sister. Right as she reached the corner of the building she saw the figure grab Beca by the arm, Lexa took off at full speed as Beca gave him one good punch to the face but he didn't go down and didn't let go.
Anger and hatred filled Lexa, fueling her to move faster. No one touched her sister like that and got away with it. "Oh so the pretty one can pack a punch huh?" The man sneered, Lexa was close now and Beca had caught sight of her. Once she was close enough she brought her foot down into the back of his knee knocking him onto them on the ground. "And the dyke can fight too! Tell me does your little blonde friend know you are fighting for this one instead of her?" Lexa ragged at the slur and the innuendo of her being a cheater. Her fist connected with his nose with a loud crack radiating through the alley. He swore and clutched his now bleeding face.
"She knows I'm protecting my sister from scumbags like you!" Lexa was pissed. She couldn't hear anything but the words and teasing laughter coming from the man that was knelt before her. She noticed the old fashioned lettermen sweeter he was wearing, he was a Tonehanger.
"Sisters huh? How about all three of us get out of here together then?" He let go of his nose and rose before trying to grab at them again. Beca placed a kick square to his balls and Lexa took her stance and threw a side kick right to the center of his chest sending him flying backwards to the ground again. He was gasping for air as another voice filled the alley.
"What is going on here?" A police officer had made his way toward the commotion, well toward the cries of a grown man getting his ass handed to him by two college girls. Before any of the girls could say anything the Tonehanger spoke from the ground.
"Those two girls attacked me! I was just trying to get to our bus to grab more CD's when they jumped out and started beating me!" Lexa and Beca tried to protest but the cop seemed to be taking his side of things. They didn't resist the officer as he placed them in cuffs and escorted them back to his squad car. Lexa caught sight of Clarke watching everything that was happening from a hidden location, her heart sank deep in her stomach. Clarke just witnessed me lose control! I swore to never let her see me like that. What do I do?
The officer shut the door as their eyes made contact, Clarke was scared. Scared of me. The sisters didn't speak on their ride to the station. There was nothing they could say, their lives would never be the same and they were only protecting themselves and each other. Lexa let her head fall back against the seat as she stared upwards. Please, don't let this be the end.
Beca
The bench they were placed on was solid concrete and Beca cursed Aubrey for the short as shit skirts they were forced to wear. They had been in here for over an hour and they hadn't talked to anyone. Their phones, driver's licenses, and everything else were taken when they arrived. They didn't get to even tell their side of the story. Beca was still a bit scared from the interaction in the alley way, she had been so relieved when Lexa showed up. Beca could hold her own and pack a mean punch but she was nowhere near as strong or as practiced as Lexa. Her sister had been silently freaking out since they were getting in the squad car, they have hardly even looked at each other.
Beca was trying to give Lexa her space and she took to looking at the other women in the holding cell. There were a couple who you could easily tell were on drugs, one was nothing other than a prostitute, there was another passed out on the floor across the room, and an angry woman pacing the length of the room. They were the youngest in there and they were going to be tried as adults due to the fact that they had finally turned 19. They were in deep shit and not even in their own state! She couldn't take the silence anymore. "Lexa we have to get them to let us say our side!" She saw her sister lift her head from where it was resting in her hands with her elbows on her knees.
"We are fucked beyond belief Bex. If we get charged we are going to prison. I will lose my scholarship and won't ever get to play sports again!" These were all true things. "I will never be able to live my dream, I will never be able to do right by my parents, and I will never get to see Clarke again. Not that I think she will ever be able to look me in the eye again." That last part came out so quiet that Beca almost missed it.
"Why do you think that way about Clarke? She has no idea what happened."
"I saw her." Lexa sighed and let her head fall back into the wall with a soft 'thump'. Beca stayed silent hoping her sister would continue. "She was hiding behind a small tree in the alley, I saw her when we were getting placed in the squad car. She was terrified, Bex. She was scared of me! I lost control when he spoke and she witnessed it happen! I told you I never wanted to be this way again! I worked so hard to rid myself of that person after Costia died. All it took was one asshole to go after you and say stupid shit and I was right back there. How do I face her after this Beca?" Lexa was on the verge of tears, and that was what scared Beca the most.
Beca remembers those days when Lexa was with Costia, she would have done anything for her and she did. It started with little things like sneaking out late and getting drunk at parties. Then one night Lexa was brought home by the cops after she got into a fight with three older guys, she came out with a busted lip, a cut above her eyebrow, a few bruises to her torso, and a black eye. The cop said that she and Costia got jumped and Lexa tried to fight back, Lexa said that Costia told her she had to or she wouldn't speak to her again. Lexa was a love sick teenager and followed blindly with everything she was told. Beca's father put both of them in self-defense classes after that. They both did okay but Lexa excelled, their instructor said she was a natural born fighter and gave her free classes in mixed martial arts.
The next time Lexa was brought home by the cops the only injuries she had were bruised knuckles. The officer said he found her in a fight with a known drug lord and had him begging for mercy. They let her off because they were able to bring him in, she broke his nose, jaw, and wrist before they were able to stop her. Lexa remembers almost nothing. She heard him catcall after her and Costia, asking them if they were interested in drugs or a good time, and Costia telling her to protect her. She snapped and beat the guy to the ground, Costia took off after she heard the first bone snap. Lexa didn't hear from her for days and was a wreck. Beca tried to get her to forget about the girl and move on, she never liked her to begin with, she came back though after Lexa basically begged her to. After Costia died Lexa got into fights at school more regularly and the only way the school would let it slide was if she went to therapy and apologized to the other students. Dr. Mitchell got her a membership to the local fighting gym and got her to start punching bags instead of people unless necessary. This was the first time she had snapped since.
"You were protecting us Lex. You were protecting me! There is nothing for you to explain, you did exactly what you were trained to do. He was in the wrong and the cops will find that out and we will be fine. You can't beat yourself up about this, Clarke will understand." Beca took a deep breath and forced her sister to look her in the eye for this next part. "She isn't Costia! She is so much better than her! Do you know how different you act between the two? I can tell how much more of your heart Clarke has than Costia ever did. She will forgive you if that is what you need, but you have no reason to apologize." Lexa nodded in agreement and heaved a sigh of what Beca hoped was relief.
"Woods, Mitchell let's go." An officer was at the door only moments later. They stood and walked over to him. "Time to get your story straight ladies." He opened the door and they were led into a room with a metal table and sat on the same side next to each other. They spent the next twenty minutes telling a female officer what had happened. Lexa kept flicking her eyes to the window across from them, Beca could tell she knew they were being watched. After they said their peace the officer left, no more than five minutes later she was back followed by their arresting officer.
"Did you tell any of this story to him?" She asked calmly. The both told her 'no' and when she asked why they both said that he never gave them the chance. "You didn't take their statements before arresting them?" She was shocked to say the least. The obviously rookie officer cowered before her.
"No chief." Damn, good for you girl! Beca praised the female police chief in her head. He was scolded and ushered out of the room again.
"Follow me please girls." They both stood and followed the chief out of the room. They were taken into another room with a window but this time they could see into the interrogation room. "This is the man that attacked you correct?" Again they both nodded, he was sitting across from another interrogator with a towel held to his nose. "He came in telling us the exact story you just did and that he lied to the officer that arrested you both. We are sorry this happened and for our rookie's mistake. You are both free to go and no charges will be filed against you. Do you wish to press charges against that man in there?" Beca looked to Lexa who was looking back at her.
"It is your choice, Bex. He attacked you first, I only made him stop." Lexa said. Beca thought about it for only a few seconds.
"No I don't wish to press charges. For one, I know he will be charged for lying to an officer. For two, he already got what he deserved from my sister. We don't want anything to happen to the rookie either, we know how it feels to be the new guy, just make sure he learns from this." With that they were led back into the lobby and their things were returned to them. As they made their way out of the station reality hit Beca. "Dude, Lex, how are we going to get home?"
"I've got that covered." They both looked up to see Clarke waiting out front of the building with a smile on her face. Lexa's jeep was parked in the lot behind her. Beca turned to look at a very pale Lexa.
"Clarke what are you doing here?"
"You didn't think I would just leave you did you?" Clarke was walking right for her girlfriend. When she got there Lexa took a step back. Beca silently watched on. "Lexa, what is wrong?"
"I saw you, you were so scared…of me." She could hear the pain and fear in Lexa's voice and knew that she thought Clarke would leave her just like Costia had before.
"No Lexa I was scared for you not of you. I have never seen anyone fight for what was right before. You were awesome, and it was definitely a turn on." She reached out to take Lexa's hand and she let the contact happen this time. "Who do you think got that asshole to turn himself in? He thinks I have a video of the fight." Both Lexa and Beca's eyes bulged out of their heads in shock. "Come on let's get you guys home. Chloe should be waiting in your dorm. I gave her your key when she found me, I figured you wouldn't mind. The Bellas left not long after you were taken in. I told them to go and that I would bring you both home." Lexa finally pulled Clarke's body into hers and hugged her tightly. They only kissed once before heading toward the jeep.
Lexa drove them back and it was a pleasant drive for the most part. There was that small bit of awkward when Lexa placed her right hand on Clarke's leg only for Clarke to start freaking out about how black and blue her knuckles were. Lexa had agreed to let her check them out once they got back to the dorm. When they got back they opened the door to the sight of not only Chloe but all of the Bellas waiting on Beca's bed. It was obvious that Chloe had been pacing non-stop. Lexa pulled Clarke to her side of the room and pulled out a first aid kit she always kept in case she got hurt during practices. They sat and Clarke attended to Lexa's bruised and swollen hand. The second Beca was through the door the teasing began. Beca responded but only in her head.
"What up Shawshank?" Amy chided from the corner. Now that is a nickname I can live with.
"Did you get yourself a bitch?" Cynthia Rose casually threw in. No because I actually already have one.
"Did they spray you with a hose?" Amy asked completely stone faced. Umm…what?
"I did a turn at county." Lily slid in and Beca was sure she was the only one to hear. Jesus Christ!
"You two are like Lara Croft and Million Dollar Baby!" Ashley and Jessica split the sentence. I am totally Million Dollar Baby because there is no way I would beat out Lex for Lara Croft.
"You guys waited up for us?" Beca asked aloud.
"Of course we did!" Chloe spoke and her eyes gave Beca that warm feeling and she could see how relieved Chloe was that she was home unharmed. Then Aubrey started in with the lecture. They all were only half listening. Beca tried one last time to show Aubrey what she had been working on recently but of course she wouldn't hear it and stormed out.
The rest of the Bellas hung out for a bit wanting to hear some of Beca's mixes. She and Lexa eventually kicked them out saying that they wanted to sleep after their traumatizing experience in lock up. Beca was finally able to rid herself of her god awful uniform and get into sweatpants she had been dying for. Chloe had obviously stayed behind telling the girls that she wanted to make sure Beca and Lexa would be okay for the night before she headed home. She lied she totally wasn't leaving and if she tried Beca wouldn't let her.
"Lexa's hand isn't fractured, let me look at yours Beca." Clarke called after she had come back from behind her closet door where she changed. Beca let Clarke look over her hand but it wasn't even tender, she really needed to work on her form. "You should at least take some anti-inflammatories just in case." Beca obliged and took the medication. Then she made her way over to her bed to sit next to Chloe. Instantly she was pulled into a heated kiss.
"Don't ever scare me like that again! Please, I was so scared that he would hurt you and that you were going to prison!" Beca held her close and promised that she would try her best. She could see Lexa on the other side of the room fidgeting. She knew that Lexa wanted to tell Clarke everything but didn't know where to start. Before she could give her any advice she saw Chloe on her phone, then her own went off, it was the Bellas group text.
Chlo-Chlo: Beca isn't injured. Lexa's hand is pretty swollen but she will be fine in a day or so.
DJ Shawshank: Thanks again you guys for waiting up for me. Never knew you all cared that much.
DJ Shawshank: Oh fuck yes! I can totally live with this new name!
Fat Power: I knew you liked it! Of course we care about you you're Beca effin' Mitchell!
Black Beauty: We got your back Beca.
There were more messages much the same as those. Beca looked up from her phone with a smile and placed a kiss to Chloe's temple. She looked back at her sister who was trying to be soothed by her very worried girlfriend. "Just tell her Lexa. She will understand. If you want I can take Chloe out and come back later."
"No, if I'm telling Clarke then I can tell Chloe." Lexa took a deep breath and settled Clarke in her arms with her head against her shoulder. Chloe was lying across Beca's bed with her head in her lap. Lexa went thought the whole story of how she started fighting and why she had freaked out about what Clarke would do or think. No one said anything until her story was finished, and all Clarke did was sit up and kiss her over and over. "So I have officially made up my mind."
"About what Lex?" Beca asked from her spot.
"I want them to be able to call us Lex and Bex. If that is okay with you that is." Beca smiled like she never had before. In that moment she knew Lexa was deeply in love with Clarke. The only other people who called her Lex besides Beca were her parents. Beca looked down at her firecracker of a girlfriend who was residing in her lap and ran her fingers through her hair. She never wanted anyone else to be in that spot, she never wanted a different hair color to be between her fingers, she only wanted Chloe.
"Yeah, I want that too."
Chloe
Chloe couldn't believe her luck. She had been wanting to go out dancing at a club all year! She refrained from doing so because she couldn't go with Beca since she was underage. Recently though a club for people aged eighteen to twenty-eight opened up about an hour and a half drive from campus. Chloe was determined to take her girlfriend along with Lexa and Clarke. It was time for the double date! Chloe had sent out a text to the secret group chat that she had with Lexa, Beca, and Clarke a couple days ago…
Firecracker: We are going on a double date. No excuses it is happening!
DJ BMitch: Why? When? Where?
#12: Because Chloe said so. When Chloe says so. Where Chloe wants to.
Griffindor: Lex, leave your sister alone! I'm totally in! What's the plan Chlo?
Firecracker: Thank you Clarke! All I will say is that we are going Friday night. Wear something for dancing but like nice at the same time.
DJ BMitch: We are going clubbing aren't we? You do know that none of us can get in right babe?
Griffindor: Oooohhh yay! I know what it's like to watch Lexa dance.
#12: I'm getting you out there with me this time!
Firecracker: If you guys can't get in then we obviously can't go clubbing Bec.
DJ BMitch: You have shifty ginger ways of doing things.
The conversation dissipated after that, now Chloe was on her way across campus to Beca's dorm where she was meeting up with the others. It was the most obvious place for them to meet and Lexa graciously agreed to drive them (seeing as she was the only one with a car). Chloe really should have rethought having them come pick her up at the house because she looked way too good to be walking across campus alone at night. She had on a flowing white sleeveless top that had a plummeting neckline, a tight black skirt that ended just above the middle of her thighs, and her black and white checkered peep toe heels. She…looked…AWSE! Her hair was down and her makeup appropriate for the occasion, she was so ready for a night out that didn't have anything to do with the Bellas and where she got to be open about her relationship.
She knew the situation was eating away at Beca faster than herself but she was still so scared. Why she was scared though she didn't exactly know. It wasn't like Bree could kick either of them out at this point, she would have to rework the whole set and that just wasn't possible with how close semi-finals were. Aubrey would be happy for her right? She would understand how hard she has fallen for her girlfriend and she will support them being together. Though deep down she still had the fear that Aubrey would blow up and not speak to her again. It was hard enough trying to keep a friendship with Beca because Aubrey hated that she had opinions on things. Aubrey just needs to loosen up! She needs to get laid! Chloe heard Beca's words run the truth through her head. If Aubrey could just calm down and at least listen to people before shooting them down everything would be fine.
It was time for Chloe to get the thoughts out of her head, she had just entered Baker Hall and was headed up the stairs toward Beca's room. She sent a silent thank you to the higher power that decided the Bellas should wear heels during their performances because she built up a tolerance to wearing them nonstop without pain now. She closed in on the door and knocked, it opened on the sight of Beca looking like she actually listened to what Chloe told them. She saw Beca's jaw flop open and knew hers had done the same.
Her eyes combed over Beca's figure. She had on a silver top where the neck line swooped down showing ample amounts of cleavage, tight black leather pants that made her butt look even better than skinny jeans (if that was even possible), and gray ankle high heeled boots that matched her shirt. Her hair was down and small braids forced it to fall over one shoulder, her piercings had been changed and were shinier than before, her black eyeliner was still thick but the steel blue eyes popped even more with the outfit. All Chloe wanted to do was take it off of her. With her teeth.
"Damn." Came as a breathy whimper from Beca as her eyes combed over Chloe's figure as well. As quickly as their interaction was, Beca grabbed Chloe by the wrist and pulled her inside the room closing the door by pressing her back against it with a heated kiss. Chloe was easily getting lost in the feeling of Beca's lips and her body pressed flush against her own, they broke apart after Lexa cleared her throat. Chloe felt Beca's finger drag over the skin on her sides. When did Beca's hands get under my shirt? That was probably why Lexa broke us apart. Chloe smoothed her top down and checked over Beca to make sure she didn't ruin the perfection that was her girlfriend.
Clarke and Lexa were standing with their arms around each other watching them with smug looks on their faces. They had basically almost gotten a free show there. Lexa was in a black sheer button up over a black tank top with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her dark gray skinny jeans were tucked into black fold over heeled ankle boots. Clarke was in a simple light blue dress that hugged her curves well and she had on simple black heels bringing her up to match her normal height to Lexa. They were adorably cute together and Chloe had always thought so. It was simple right now to tell that they were together and she silently hoped for the sake of everyone's nose that no one tried to hit on Clarke.
They all piled into the Jeep and Chloe shot off directions to Lexa from the back seat where she was with Beca. Once they got there a line had already formed to get inside. "Welcome to Arkadia. The club where people underage and go and have a good time like they aren't underage. Minus drinking you still can't do that." Chloe cheered as she opened her side of the car.
"Chlo, how in the hell did you find this? And how are we going to get in? That line is like an hour and a half long!" Beca stated while watching more people add to the line and round the corner of the building. Chloe just grinned and took her hand in hers. At Beca's questioning gaze she just smiled and kissed her cheek. She really could be cute when she wanted to. Chloe marched up to the end of the line and just kept right on going toward the door.
"Umm, Chloe? The line ends way back there." Lexa commented and Chloe just nodded in confirmation and kept on walking right up to the bouncer. He was a big guy and looked terrifying but not to Chloe.
"Hey Bruno! Ty said that I was welcome whenever and I brought my girlfriend and her sister and her girlfriend." Chloe bounced to a stop before the man she knew to be a big softy at heart. Especially when it came to his favorite sudo-cousin. Bruno gave her a big smile and a hug while lifting her off the ground no matter how dressed up she was he would always do the same.
"Tyler will be so happy to see you Little Red! Rules are rules though, ID's ladies." They all popped out their ID's and had wristbands wrapped around their arms. Chloe's was black while the others were all red to signify that they were under the age of twenty-one. Chloe latched onto Beca's hand again and pulled her into the club.
The thump of the base instantly hit their chests and Chloe felt a calm run through her system, loud music always did that to her. Beca tugged her back so that they were looking at each other. "Chloe what the fuck was that back there?"
"My cousin Tyler owns the club!" She shouted over the thud at the others. Beca instantly shot her hand over her mouth.
"Don't yell! You are going to make your nodes even worse babe!" Beca pulled her phone out of her back pocket and handed it over. Chloe huffed at her but obliged because her throat was already sore. She typed quickly thinking of everything that needed to be said.
'Tyler, my cousin, opened this club today. Ages 18-28 with wristbands to specify underage people. He told me I could come whenever I wanted but that he wanted to see me there because I would love it! Bruno, the bouncer, is his best friend since like forever! I am basically his cousin as well. If you are wondering why I just sprouted off that you were my girlfriend without thinking twice, it's because Ty knows. He walked in on me telling Nate and Bryan about your perfect Christmas presents!'
That should have been everything. Beca seemed to take the answer way better than she expected because once she was finished reading it she threw herself at her and kissed her again. If this was going to be a regular occurrence for the evening then that was totally okay with Chloe. "Is that why we didn't have to pay a cover like everyone else?" Lexa asked pointing to the people coming in the door behind them. Chloe nodded.
"Little Red!" The shout was heard over the noise rather clearly. They all looked up to see a man in his late thirties walking toward them. "So happy to see you!" He threw a one armed hug around Chloe's shoulders and motioned for them all to follow him. He led them up a set of concealed stairs and into a one way glass walled box above the dance floor. The music wasn't as loud as it was before. "Welcome to the Sky Box ladies! I think you will find this sanctuary nice when the music starts to get to you. Feel free to come up here but no one else unless you let me know yeah?" They all nodded and smiled saying thank you. "Is this her then?" Tyler motioned to Beca who was now wrapped in Chloe's arms.
"Yeah, Ty this is Beca. Beca this is Tyler."
"Nice to meet the person who made that one's heart even bigger than it was before." He shook her hand. "I'm pretty sure her other organs had to shrink to make more room. Take care of her, and don't worry about the rest of the family. I've already been sworn to secrecy and Chloe would have my head if anyone found out." He whispered the last part but Chloe could still hear him and swatted him across the arm.
"Well I'm not opposed, this is all due to the dictator of a best friend she has." This time Chloe hit Beca across the arm. "You cannot deny that it is true Chlo, you just can't."
"I heard you were the one that coined the name General Posen if I'm no mistaken." Tyler and Beca struck up a conversation and Chloe was thankful that they got along. Any longer of not dancing with Beca's body pressed against hers in that smoking outfit and she would combust.
"Come one Bex! It's time to dance!" Chloe pulled her away from Tyler and back toward the stairs, Lexa and Clarke were close behind them. The four made their way to the middle of the dance floor just as a new beat dropped. Stronger by Kelly Clarkson started and Chloe released her hold on Beca and started to move with the music, Beca had enforced the no-singing-along-with-the-songs rule on their way down from the Sky Box. It was infuriating to have nodes sometimes, like right now! Right now she wanted to pull Beca close and sing in her ear so she knew that she made her feel stronger, but no she had nodes and if she wanted to perform at semi-finals and nationals then she had to shut up.
Beca was still for a few beats before she started to sway slightly, Chloe had her hands thrown in the air as she watched the expression on her girlfriend. Right now she looked like she was enjoying the sight before her, like she had no clue what to do with her hands, and like the music was bothering her. Chloe instantly stopped and forced those stormy blue eyes to lock with her own. Her own expression read 'What's wrong?'
"This beat. It ruins the song, it is too fast for the lyrics to still sound strong. They either need to layer it with another track or they need to just slow it back down about two notches." God Chloe loved that brilliant, musically inclined brain. She smiled and nodded her understanding, then she pulled Beca into her arms. She wrapped small hands around her waist to rest on the top of her hips, then threw one of her own arms haphazardly over one of her shoulders and started to dance again. Beca smirked and started to loosen up slightly. As she trailed her other hand along Beca's arm the smirk split into a full on smile. Beca blushed slightly and turned and her eyes locked just to the side of them, Chloe followed her gaze.
Lexa and Clarke were not far from their side and were basically melded into one person. There was no room between them at this point. Lexa had one hand firmly on the small of Clarke's back, the other was running along the upper part of her arm. Clarke's arms were wrapped around Lexa's neck so her elbows were basically on her shoulders. They looked incredibly happy to be that close to each other. Chloe could even see the love in their eyes now, it was almost blinding. They would occasionally steal a kiss as they seemed to laugh at the utter cuteness of each other. God they were adorable!
"We are worse when we are alone you know." Beca spoke after having turned back to look at her. Chloe cocked her head to the side in question. "We don't get to do this, or that," She cocked her head toward their companions. "In public. That is what kills me the most about it. I want people to know that you are mine and I am yours. I was everyone to see how disgustingly cute we are, and when I say that I mean utterly badass on my part." Chloe chuckled and nodded. She couldn't take this she needed to say something to fix this. She pulled Beca closer and basically in a hug to whisper (talk normal volume) in her ear.
"After semi-finals, I promise. I can't take it anymore either." She placed a kiss behind her ear before drawing back to see that knee weakening smile again.
"Do you want a drink? You are more than welcome to." Beca was so sweet sometimes it was an overload. Like Oreo Brownie Earthquakes at Dairy Queen (they were secretly her favorite). Chloe just smiled and shook her head, if her date and friends couldn't drink tonight then she wouldn't either it was only fair.
A few songs later and Beca was pulling her toward the bar, Chloe was still refusing to drink anything alcoholic. So it surprised her a little when Beca ordered both of them Diet Coke. They found a little booth in the corner that had recently been vacated and cleaned and hurried to take a breather. After they were halfway done with their drinks Beca went to the restroom back up in the Sky Box and Lexa slid in the booth next to her.
"Thanks for all of this, Chloe. It really has been a great night so far, even if the DJ is kinda subpar."
"Beca picked up on that too, I'm going to see if I can't get one of her demos to Ty and see if he would let her spin one night." Lexa's eyes flew open and she drank what appeared to be Ginger Ale from her glass.
"Holy shit you would do that for her?" Lexa was honestly shocked and it was clear in her tone and face.
"Of course I would! She is amazingly talented! I already convinced Luke, the campus radio station manager, to actually listen to what Beca has already given him. He's a friend and yes just a friend." Chloe knew where this conversation was headed because Clarke was not present.
"Well I know it's really unorthodox to do this while we are all on a double date but it's really my only shot." Chloe laced her fingers together on the table and motioned for her to continue. "Beca may look all tough on the outside and I know you already found the soft squish part of her that lies inside but you don't know exactly how fragile she really is. I have seen her at her breaking point, I have watched her fall apart, I was the one that picked up the pieces. I don't want to do that again. Last time I wasn't able to protect her from it either, there was no stopping it. This however I can stop, if you ever hurt my sister I will not hesitate to make your life hell. I really like the Beca you have found and I want her to stay this way. She is happy, carefree, and living when she is with you. If you take that away from her you will take it away from me too. She deserves the happiness that you have brought to her life, Chloe. Let her keep it." Oh wow, okay this was a lot deeper than I prepared for. I mean I planned for the whole 'if-you-hurt-her-I-will-hurt-you' part but not that last part. Chloe took a deep breath before replying.
"I will never intentionally hurt her. I know it is hurting her that we have to be secretive around the Bellas but I just told her that we can tell them after semi-finals. I don't want to hurt her Lexa, I don't think I can hurt her to be honest. If I hurt her I will hurt myself because I lov…I…I…I love her. Deeply." Chloe let the stutter happen not only for effect but because it was the first time she had said it out loud and too another person.
"I had a feeling." Lexa smiled genuinely and finished off her drink. "I really do like you two together. Well I'm going to get myself and my girl another drink then head back to the floor with her. Want to join?" Chloe nodded. "Need another drink?" She shook her head and Lexa took her empty glass to throw away while Chloe took Beca's to hang on to until she got back.
Chloe found Clarke near the center of the floor talking and dancing with another blonde girl who seemed to just step closer every time Clarke took a step back. Chloe made a move and threw her arm around Clarke's shoulders in a very friendly way to try and help, it was something Chloe did well. "Hey Clarke who's your little friend?" She faked a little slur to her speech until she got more information.
"Hey Chlo! This is Niylah she is one of my sorority sisters, I guess a few of them are here tonight too."
"Yeah they drug me along I think mainly to drive because Ontari, Emori, and Liz are already half gone. Nia is drunk off her ass somewhere but she can deal with that herself, I'm not her babysitter." Niylah shot off motioning to a group of girls across the club and took another step closer to Clarke and started dancing with her again. "That was why I was so happy to find Clarke here all alone." Oh no, it was a really good thing Lexa was still at the bar right now.
"I told you Niylah, I'm not alone. Lexa is at the bar getting us drinks and we came with her sister and Chloe here. We are on a double date finally!" Chloe caught the way that Clarke said Lexa's name with force so the girl would get the message, she didn't.
At that moment a hand tapped her shoulder, expecting Beca she turned around with a huge smile on her face. Yet what she saw was a well-built guy with two drinks in his hand. "Hey beautiful, saw you had on a black wristband and didn't have a drink in your hand so I got you one. Care for a dance, sexy?" He pushed the drink forward as well as his body, and Chloe being the super bubbly person she is had to let him down easy.
"No thanks, I'm not drinking tonight and I already have a dance partner." She shot her eyes quickly around the club for Beca but didn't find her. Her eyes landed on a girl sitting alone at the booth she had been earlier and thought of a short plan. "There is a girl over there though that looks like she wishes she were somewhere else. I bet if you went over there you would have a much better shot." When he followed her motion toward the girl she turned away from him. Lexa had found her way back to Clarke's side and Niylah was gone again. Lexa and Clarke were wrapped in each other again, and as the song merged into Talking Body by Tove Lo, Clarke flipped so her back was against Lexa's front and they shamelessly grinded on each other. Chloe didn't miss the daggers that got shot from Lexa's eyes in the general direction of the other sorority sisters, Niylah must have been over there.
That was when Chloe felt a body press against her back as well. "That lonely girl in the booth doesn't hold a candle to you, gorgeous. Besides you shouldn't have to dance to this song alone when it was obviously written about you." Okay this poor sucker is just trying way too hard for someone he will never have. Time to do the right thing Chlo.
Before she could say anything to him she felt a hand in her own, this hand did belong to Beca, and she pulled her off of the guy. "I'm sorry but do you mind?" Beca said looking up at the burly guy who of course had a snapback on backwards that Chloe hadn't noticed before.
"I think you are the one that needs to mind, I was dancing with that babe and you can wait until I'm done with her and then I'll get to your dance later." Oh this was going to be so good! Chloe wanted to step back and watch but she also didn't want her girlfriend to cause a big scene in her cousin's club on the first night. Beca straightened herself and finally looked like the badass she called herself.
"Listen here, dude. You will not be dancing with me or my girlfriend tonight you got that? If you don't leave us alone and find someone who will actually think your muscles didn't come from steroid use then I will rip off what is left of your tiny fucking balls." Was it getting hotter in here or was it just Chloe?
"Oh, girlfriend huh? I bet you use that line a lot to get guys to leave your friend alone. Nice try short stuff but I've heard that before." Chloe was getting ready to pull Beca away from this guy before punches flew, luckily Lexa was being held in place by Clarke (yes Chloe checked).
"God, I just want to get a little cactus in a ceramic pot and name it after you because you are a little prick!" Chloe heard a round of laughter and cheering at the line then her face was being pulled into Beca's with a heated kiss. The cheering grew louder and instinctively Chloe wrapped her arms around Beca's waist and let her hands drift to that leather clad ass she had wanted to grab all night. This was so hot! Chloe could feel herself getting more turned on by the second.
Once they broke apart she saw Beca check to see if the guy had left yet, he hadn't but now his mouth was hanging open at the sight of them together. "She really is my girlfriend and I did try to let you down easy and even find another girl to play with but you didn't leave when you had the chance." He was stuck in place. "You also might want to close your mouth some guys might take that as an invitation." His lips snapped together and his face turned beet red. Chloe wrapped her arms around Beca again and started to dance in the most innocent way she knew how. They kissed way more often than they would have if Beca wasn't still seething, Chloe found it all very alluring. "Sky Box?" She said into Beca's ear who eagerly nodded and motioned for Lexa and Clarke to follow. There was never any intention of them having sex in the club, let alone public that was bluntly obvious that Beca would not like that for their first time.
Once upstairs things quieted down but the couples still danced shamelessly once no one could see them. "God did everyone get hit on tonight?" The question came from Lexa. "Clarke's 'innocent' sorority sister was all over her," the comment was complete with air quotes. "That brute tried to basically dry hump Chlo. Shit, even Luna found me somehow and wanted to and I quote check out my foot work off the field. Tell me someone didn't hit on you Beca please!" Lexa sounded defeated.
"Well other than that guy saying he would get to me after Chlo. No I basically gave a don't-fuck-with-me glare to everyone who was in a close range that wasn't one of you." Beca laughed out and Chloe instantly flipped in her arms so Beca was behind her and hooked a hand behind her neck to pull her closer. Then she finally got the courage to make a comment about the interaction down on the dance floor.
"By the way Bex, jealous you is really hot and a major turn on!" Beca's hands squeezed her hips and pulled her back more. There was a muffled reply that sounded like 'I wasn't jealous' but the lips were so close to her neck the words couldn't be made out.
Tyler found them up there a few minutes later saying he heard about the interaction and was glad that they handled it on their own, though his security was open to them at all times. He had made them aware that members of his family were here and to be looked out for. The rest of their night went smoothly mostly because they spent it up in the Sky Box. As they made their exit hours later Chloe was already texting Tyler about Beca spinning and about getting the Sky Box reserved for the Bellas after Nationals weather they won or lost.
