So far, the USO tour had been pretty successful for the Bella's. They were beginning to get recognized by Khaled more and their confidence began to boost. To Beca, however, something was off about one of their tour guides. She began to notice it when they first got there, but her feeling got more uneasy as time went by. Especially when they got to France.
"Welcome to the south of France, Bella's!" Chicago announced, leading the group to their hotel.
"You know," Beca whispered to Chloe, "We should share a room." she said as they walked to the check in desk.
"Don't we all get separate rooms?" Chloe asked, confused at Beca's request.
"Yeah, but I have a weird feeling in my stomach." Beca said, glancing at Chicago then stopping in front of Chloe.
"Are you sick?" Chloe asked, pressing her hand against her friend's forehead.
"No, something just feels off." She said, once again glancing past Chloe to where Chicago stood whose eyes were clearly glued onto the redhead.
"Okay," Chloe said, still looking at Beca was a confused look, "We will share a room if it makes you feel better." She said, earning a smile from the brunette before they grabbed their key and made their way upstairs.
Once everyone was settled, everyone snuck into Aubrey's room to have a little party before they performed that night. When exiting their room, Beca noticed Chicago lurking at the end of the hall, staring at Chloe. Beca flashed him a look before standing behind Chloe, putting her hands on her shoulders and ushering her into the room.
Everyone was sitting on the bed, talking and laughing while they ate candy and chocolates.
"Do you guys hear that?" Emily asked, hearing what sounded like a thud against the door.
Everyone went silent for a moment, waiting to see if they heard anything else. After a minute, everyone forgot about it and went back to normal. Beca, however, knew exactly what it was. Chicago was looking through the peephole, spying on Chloe. Knowing this, Beca moved to sit on the right of her best friend, blocking her from view of the door. They continued on as normal, playing games and eating junk food until they needed to get ready for their performance.
Back in their room, Beca and Chloe took turns using their bathroom to get ready. They got in their red and white outfits and helped do each other's hair and makeup before meeting up with the rest of the Bella's in the front.
"Hey, Bella's." Chicago said, standing in front of them but staring at Chloe, "Let's get a move on."
He ushered them out the door and Beca made sure to stand behind Chloe so Chicago couldn't creep on her. She saw him smirk at her as they exited in which she flashed him another threatening look before getting in the van.
The rest of the night, Beca didn't at all leave Chloe's side for even a second. She knew Chicago was always lurking nearby, creeping on her best friend. On multiple occasions, she had caught him staring from a distance.
Once the performance was done, Beca immediately found Chloe and grabbed her hand, not letting go until they were safe and secure in the van.
When they made it back to the hotel, both girls were standing in front of the bathroom mirror, removing all of their makeup.
"You're really clingy tonight." Chloe said, realizing Beca hadn't left her side all day, "You alright?"
"Yeah, I'm good." Beca said plainly, not looking at Chloe and continuing to take her makeup off.
"Somethings bothering you. I can tell." Chloe said, still turned and looking at her friend, "What's going on." She said quietly.
Beca didn't answer and grabbed her hand, dragging her to their bed and sat them down.
"What do you think about Chicago?" Beca asked, looking at Chloe.
"I mean, he's alright. He's attractive and all but I don't really know him." She said, still confused as to why Beca was so concerned about him.
"Okay listen to me." Beca said carefully, gaining Chloe's full attention as their eyes met, "Chicago has been giving me really bad vibes this whole time. I don't want to scare you, but he keeps staring at you with a creepy smirk on his face and he's always creeping around the corner. I know this sounds cheesy, but I seriously can't risk anything happening to you. That's why I've been attached to you today." Beca said, dropping her eyes to the floor at her last sentence.
"Chicago wouldn't hurt anyone." Chloe said as Beca looked back up into Chloe's eyes. "He's in the military, he's a safe guy."
"It's cute that you think that will stop me from protecting you." Beca said, grabbing Chloe's hands into her own, "Please, just be cautious and aware of him. I don't want anything to happen to you." Beca pleaded, earning a small smile and nod from the redhead when they heard another thud at the door.
Beca got up off of the bed and made her way over to the peephole, looking out to see Chicago peering in. Immediately, she opened the door, causing him to stumble forward a little bit.
"What the hell are you doing?" Beca asked him, blocking the doorway so he couldn't get in.
"I need to talk to Chloe. He said, not even looking down at Beca and looking at Chloe with a malicious grin.
"No, you don't." Beca said, shoving him outside the room. "Please, don't come back." She said, closing the door, locking it, and covering the peephole before turning around to face Chloe who looked scared.
"Hey, it's okay." Beca said, sitting next to her friend. "This is why I'm in here. He won't hurt you, Chlo."
"Thank you." She said, pulling Beca in for a hug.
"No problem. You're safe."
The rest of the tour, this time it was Chloe who didn't leave Beca's side.
