Surprise! I'm not dead! Life got really crazy for me and I had some serious writers block, but I'm back now! I wrote a couple new chapters, so hopefully I should be able to finish this story without anymore breaks! Sorry for the EXTREMELY long break. Hope you enjoy! As always I don't own Pitch Perfect or any or the characters.
Chapter 23
Beca's POV
It's been a few weeks since me and Bree finally apologized to each other and we've never been closer. I'm so glad that we have each other, especially with everything that happened with our dad. I've honestly never seen Bree so happy, so… free. She's even let up with the Bella's, letting me work on a mix so that we actually have a chance at the semi-finals. In the past few weeks I've also found myself spending more time with Chloe, if that's even possible. I know that Bree is cool if we start dating, but I still haven't been able to sack up and ask her out. I love spending time with her and I'm so glad that we're friends, but the more time I spend with her, the harder it is to push my crush down.
"As much as I love you staring at me I think you might want to switch your focus back to your textbook." Chloe says with a giggle. I can feel a blush spread quickly across my cheeks and shift my gaze back to my textbook.
"I don't even know why I need to know chemistry." I respond, hoping my voice sounds normal. "It's not like I'm ever going to need to use it for anything." I slowly lift my gaze to look at Chloe.
"Well I don't know about you Becs, but I find that I use chemistry all the time." I can't tell if she's actually flirting with me or if she is just being Chloe. I don't know what makes me do it but I decide to take my chances and flirt back.
"Oh yeah?" I find myself moving closer to her "Maybe I could use some tutoring?" She's about to say something else when I hear the door burst open. I quickly put as much space between Chloe and I as I can without it looking suspicious. A very pissed off Aubrey walks into the kitchen. She quickly walks up to me and shoves her phone in my face, trying to show me something on what looks like facebook. Why is she even on facebook? Only dad uses that still.
"What am I supposed to be looking at Bree because I can't read shit when it's an inch from my face?"
"Beca, just take the fucking phone from my hand and read the post!" I could tell she was mad before, but she must really be downright pissed off if she's swearing, so I carefully take the phone from her hand so I see what she's trying to show me.
"Why am I looking at a post from Sheila? Do you follow her or are you stalking her? Also why are you looking at shit she is posting anyway, Bree you should just ignore her and dad."
"Beca I swear to fucking god scroll down and read the goddamn post and look at the attached picture!" I do as she says and slowly feel the anger start to wash over me.
After 10 long hours in labor we are so glad to finally introduce you to our perfect little
angel Alison Marie 3 She was 7lbs 5oz and 19 in. Love our perfect #familyofthree
I'm not sure how long I stare at my dad and Sheila holding this baby before I finally lose it.
"What the actual fuck! So they really are just replacing us! Also he didn't even have the decency to text us! She had the baby five fucking days ago! I'm calling him!"
"Beca wait!" I barely hear Aubrey over the blood rushing in my ears. I'm pissed! I feel someone try to grab my arm, but I shrug them off and leave the apartment. I hear them follow me but I don't stop. I pull my phone out as I rush down the stairs to the parking lot. I find my dad's number and click the call button. I don't know what I'm going to say to him, but I know I have to do something. The phone rings and rings and rings. Aubrey and Chloe are next to me now. After what feels like forever his voicemail comes on. His fucking voicemail. I slowly pull the phone away from my ear and end the call. All of the anger has left me now and I just feel this overwhelming sadness.
"He didn't even bother to answer..." I whisper as I feel the tears start to fall. Within seconds both Aubrey and Chloe pull me into a hug. I fall into them and break down. I don't even know why I'm so upset by this. They said they didn't support us. They basically said they were disowning us at that dinner. We spent the fucking holiday's with Chloe and her family. I guess this just feels... permanent.
"Come on Becs, let's get you back up to the apartment" Chloe finally says after my sobs stop. All I can do is nod my head and slowly follow them back to their room.
I don't know how long I lay cuddled up to Chloe in her bed when we get back upstairs, but when I slowly push myself to sit up I realize it's dark outside and I'm actually really hungry and I need to pee. I get up and notice that Chloe is asleep. God she looks so cute right now. I allow myself to look at her for a few minutes before I make my way to the bathroom. As I'm walking down the hallway I hear muffled voices, so I know that Stacie must be here with Aubrey. Which is good, I'm really glad that Aubrey has someone like Stacie, especially for moments like this. I go to the bathroom as quickly as I can then head into the kitchen. I was right, Stacie is there and I can tell that Aubrey has been crying.
As I enter the kitchen they both look up at me. "How are you doing Beca?" Stacie asks.
"Well I found out that my dad wasn't bluffing and that I am actually disowned and not only that but have fully been erased and replaced, so I'm fucking fantastic" I grab a glass out of the cupboard and fill it up with water from the brita in the fridge. I didn't realize how thirsty I was.
"Becs, I'm sorry. Just remember that we are in this together and we'll get through this. We don't need them, we have each other. Also like what kind of dumb millenial ass name is Alison Marie anyway." Aburey gives me a small smile. I pat her on the arm.
"You're right Bree, I didn't even like being around them before they disowned me, so why should I care. I already have a great sister, so I don't need to know their stupid baby. I'm gonna go say goodbye to Chloe and then I think I'm gonna head back to my dorm, see if Jesse wants to order some pizza or something."
"You sure you're gonna be okay? You can always stay here if you want to!'
"I know Bree, but I really just want to talk to Jesse about this and get some food, maybe work some more on a mix. I'll be fine, seriously, don't worry about me. Go hang out with your girlfriend." I give Aubrey a small smile to try and show her that I mean what I say.
"Alright, just text me when you make it back to your dorm. I love you!"
"Love you too Bree!"
I head back to Chloe's room to find her awake and sitting on her bed.
"Oh hey, there you are! I got nervous when I woke up and you were gone! How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine Chlo, I actually just came in to say goodbye to you. I'm gonna go back to my dorm, see if Jesse can come over." I see a frown start to form on Chloe's face.
"Aww, alright Becs! Just know that you can call me or text me or whatever no matter what time it is and I'll be there for you, no matter what! I love you and I'll always be your family!" I don't know when I ended up in front of her, but somehow I'm only inches away from her.
"I know Chlo, and I love you too." God I want to kiss her so bad right now.
"Seriously Becs, I can come over to your dorm later, or you could come back here later if you don't want to be alone. Just let me know whatever-" I cut her off with a kiss. I know I shouldn't do it. I know that I am super emotional right now. I also didn't even ask her if she wanted to kiss me. Oh my God! What if she's mad? What if I just fucked up and ruined everything? I quickly pull away.
"Oh my God Chloe, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have done that! I'm gonna go!" I hear her call my name, but I don't turn around. I quickly grab my backpack from the kitchen and run out of the apartment. I keep running until I'm halfway to my dorm room. I stop at a bench for a couple minutes. I pull out my phone and text Jesse.
Beca: Hey Jess! Some CRAZY shit just happened. Can you come over? We can get Pizza!
Jesse: Sure thing Becs! Be there in 20! Already ordered the food!
