When I'm gone (BECHLOE)

Chapter 4

In the morning I wake up by hearing the Bellas talking in the kitchen. I think they're having breakfast. Tired I look at them and blink because the light is so bright. When they notice that I'm awake they all shut up and look at me.

"What?"

I snap at them.

"You're sleeping on the couch."

"Wow, you noticed it."

I know I have no reason to be angry with them, because everything is my fault, but I can't control it right now. I'm just angry. I grab my blanket and go up with the hope that Chloe lets me back into our bed. On the way I hear Fat Amy yelling after me.

"Becca what's up?"

"Nothing! "

As I open the door I get a shock. Chloe isn't here. On the bed lays a peace of paper. I go over and read it.

Becca, I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore. It's breaking me from inside. I just need a break. Don't be scared I'm save. I'll come to the rehearsals and everything, but I need a break from all of this. I don't care if you tell the Bellas or not. It's your decision. Give me some time to think about this all. Right now I can't do it anymore. By the way, I said I can't believe you anymore, but I'm sure you're gonna miss me when I'm gone.....and I'm gonna miss you, too. I just can't stay.

I feel the tears running over my cheeks. She's gone. Is it over now? This hurts so much. Everything is empty. I feel nothing, but I miss Chloe. How can she even think that I'm in love with someone else? This isn't possible she's the best thing that's ever been mine! I can't see clear anymore, but I try to look at the clock. Shit! It's already 7:30am. I've to get ready for the internship. I jump up and get dressed still crying. I run over to the bathroom and wash my face, trying to wash the tears away. The cold water feels good and refreshing. I stop to cry and take a short look in the mirror. I'm looking normal. Fine. I go back into my room, grab my back and go run down.

"Becca, is everything okay with you?"

"Everything is fine?"

"I don't believe you."

"I'm really sorry, Amy, but I have to go now."

I just run out to my car and drive to the studio. On the way I try to calm down but how could I? Chloe is gone. I don't know where and I don't know what I can do for her to come back. In the studio I start to make coffee for the others. Then the producer comes over.

"I know you're super busy, but do you have listened to my demos?"

"Yes I did."

"That silence between us is a good sign."

"You have a good ear, which have already been proven.I wanted to hear more from you, but you gave me nothing but mash-ups."

"That's kind of what I do."

"Listen, Reggie. Is Reggie?"

"Beca, that happens often."

"Listen carefully, each child with ears and a laptop can do this. Even Dax can. That's fine if you're a DJ and want to be this for the rest if your life. But if you want to be a music producer then you must have an original voice. Then you have to show what you can. Now I have only a demo with mash-ups. But I need to hear what you have to say. Do you understand? "

"I have much to say, but I save it all up."

"You're an intern, the others are interns. You're talented, the others are also talented. So what makes you special? Do you understand what I mean?"
