CHAPTER 4:

At 8 p.m. that night, Aubrey was on her bed sobbing after losing her captaincy.

"Aubrey?" Chloe asked as she walked into their dorm room.

"Go away," Aubrey said tearfully.

"Come on, Aubrey. Don't be like this," Chloe sat down on Aubrey's bed beside her.

"Why shouldn't I be? I thought I was a good leader," Aubrey said.

"Listen, Aubrey, I'm your friend, but you need to be told off sometimes," Chloe said.

"I thought I was doing the right thing," Aubrey hung her head.

"Do you honestly think that doing the same songs over and over again is the way to win a national championship?" Chloe asked.

"Why wouldn't it? It worked last year," Aubrey tried.

"Well, that was a different time and a different leader," Chloe reminded her.

"I guess I should've listened to Beca. Do you think she'll ever forgive me?" Aubrey asked.

"Well, why don't you ask her yourself?" Chloe said as she opened the door to let Beca in.

"Hey, Aubrey," Beca said.

"Beca? How much did you hear?" Aubrey asked.

"I heard enough, and I'm going to make you a deal, okay? You can stay in the Bellas

if you want, but you'll have to apologize to everyone. And I mean in person, not over text.

Either way, you're not getting your captaincy back. Do you understand?" Beca asked as Aubrey nodded in agreement. "Good, I'll see you at rehearsal tomorrow."

The next day at Bellas rehearsal, everyone was ready to start as Beca got their attention.

"Okay, Bellas, time to start preparing for Lincoln Center. But first-" Beca started as Aubrey walked in.

"My fellow Bellas, I want to apologize for my behavior. Not just to Beca, but to all of you. I know I've been a terrible leader and an awful person in general, but I'm willing to make amends. I know some of you still hate me, and it may take a while to earn back your friendships, but I'm willing to make the effort, and I truly believe that Beca has what it takes to lead us to a national championship," Aubrey said as she then turned to hug Beca.

"Thanks, Aubrey," Beca said as Aubrey then proceeded to hug Chloe.

"I am so proud of you," Chloe said.

"Okay, moving on..." Beca said as she proceeded with rehearsal.

THE END!
