After showing Chloe to her room, Beca went back down to the living room so Chloe could unpack. She sat thinking about the last time she saw Chloe.
Beca's eyes widened when Chloe walked past without looking at her. She felt the tears stinging her eyes when Chloe grabbed Chicago's tie and pulled him into a clichéd movie-ending-guy-gets-the-girl kiss.
It hurt like Hell, but she couldn't look away. Beca was thankful that it was only a few seconds later when Theo came up to her and pulled her away so she didn't have to watch anymore.
Beca looked for Chloe at the after-party, but she was nowhere to be found. Beca didn't want to know what Chloe was doing, but the kiss kept playing over and over in Beca's mind so she had a pretty good idea. It didn't help that the girls were all going on and on about what Chloe and Chicago were up to.
The next day, after a sleepless night, Beca was up early and she looked and felt like Hell. She was surprised to see all the Bellas waiting to say goodbye when she reached the lobby. Well, all the Bellas except for Chloe. Beca was flying out immediately to Los Angeles with Khaled to begin her new career.
Beca hugged Aubrey last and then nonchalantly looked around.
"I haven't seen her," Aubrey whispered to Beca. "None of us has since she went off with Chicago last night."
"Figures," Beca said bitterly. "It would have been nice if she'd at least hopped off his dick long enough to say goodbye. So much for her always being there for her best friend."
"I'm sorry, Beca," Aubrey said.
"Stop," Beca said, sighing. "This is on me. I don't know why I'm letting it get to me. I knew she would find somebody she wanted to be with sooner or later; I just didn't expect it to hurt so much.""I'm sure she'll be upset that she missed saying goodbye," Aubrey said. "And then she'll blow up your phone apologizing for it."
"I highly doubt that," Beca said. She turned and faced the Bellas. "I'll see you nerds around. Don't be strangers."
The girls hugged Beca one last time before Theo grabbed Beca's suitcases and led her out of the hotel.
Now, a year later, Chloe was staying in her guest room. And Beca doesn't know how she's supposed to feel about that.
