In Case You Didn't Know

Chapter Three

"Girls, our competition is coming up. We really need to practice." Aubrey says, trying to get all of the girls to pay attention. The only ones that were even looking her way were Chloe and Stacie.

Well Stacie wasn't really paying attention to her. But she was at least looking forward. Her thoughts were filled with a fight she'd had with Beca. Which is why the shorter girl was sitting with Amy instead of her.

Amy was talking to Beca about something random but Beca wasn't listening. She was staring at the floor.

Closing her eyes, Aubrey lifts her hands to her head. They were not going to be ready for the competition if they didn't practice.

Chloe could see Aubrey getting frustrated. She got to her feet. "Hey pitches, focus please." She demanded.

All side conversations seemed to fizzle out as the girls turned their attention to Aubrey.

The blonde sent her girlfriend a thankful smile before beginning to talk about what they needed to work on. "And Stace, I really need that choreography for the routine." she finishes, looking at the leggy brunette.

Shaking her head, Stacie clears her throat. "I'll come over tonight if you want and we can go over it with Chloe." she says softly, even though she was supposed to be spending time with Beca. She didn't see that happening now, not with Beca not talking to her.

Stacie and Chloe were the choreographers for their numbers. Usually Stacie would come up with their moves and then show Aubrey and Chloe. Before they would find a way to teach the other girls.

"Sounds good." Aubrey said with a nod. She turned her attention to Beca. "Beca we really need those arrangements." She said.

Beca shrugged, having not heard what Aubrey said after saying her name.

"Okay, what is going on?" Chloe asks after a few minutes, looking between Beca and Stacie. "You two haven't spoken at all this week. And now you're both distracted during practice."

Stacie shakes her head and gets up, grabbing her bag. "I have a doctor's appointment." she says, before leaving the room.

Everyone watched Stacie leave before Aubrey rounded on Beca. "Beca? Care to explain?"

"Explain what?" Beca asks, trying not to seem liked she'd also watched Stacie walk off.

"Whatever is going on between you and Legs." Amy says, nudging her.

"There's nothing going on." Beca said. She grabbed her bag and stood up. "I'm done." She muttered. She moved to the door.

"You're done?" Aubrey asked, frowning. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"I quit." Beca said, pushing the door open and leaving.

Chloe chases after her, knowing Aubrey would have a breakdown. She couldn't handle this much stress. "Beca, Beca wait!" she yells, finally catching up to the alternative girl.

"Leave me alone." Beca said, continuing to walk away. She gripped the strap of her bag over her shoulder.

"Beca, stop!" Chloe says, blocking her path. "We need you, why are you doing this? What the hell happened between you and Stacie that is so bad?"

"I don't want to be a Bella anymore." Beca said, moving around Chloe and continuing to walk. "This has nothing to do with Stacie."

Chloe blocks her path again. "Bullshit, you guys were fine last week and then something happened. You haven't talked to each other all week. And now you're quitting the Bellas?" she shakes her head. "Talk to me, we used to be closer and now you barely talk to me."
