When I'm gone (BECHLOE)

Chapter 8

In the morning I wake up by the wonderful sound of Aubrey's voice, bossing us around.

"Get up, Bellas! Come on!"

Tired I follow the others out of the temp. It's so early. I hate it to stand up so early in the morning, but Aubrey doesn't care. She's full of energy and has fun to boss us around.

"Today we go back to basics and learn how you can sing again as a group, while we do exercises
to boost the confidence."

"What a good idea."

Chloe says smiling. She doesn't seem tired. It has never been a problem for her to stand up early in the morning. And right now she's full of enthusiasm.

"Let's start."

Aubrey starts to sing and we join in. She's only singing old songs like at the beginning of my Bella time. I really don't have the nerves for this again. That's no way we could beat DSM. This songs are too old. This throws us back like 30 years. As we finish Aubrey starts talking.

"That was almost an acceptable level. You were really close to the old Bellas."

"What do we do?"

"We find our sound again."

"Is that so? We sing songs that do not fit in with our set and..."

"Beca, come on."

Chloe interrupts me. I don't want to discuss with her. I don't want this to be our first words since weeks. I'm just losing control. I'm tired of finding our old self again, because we're just messed up. DSM is so good and we're only losing our self by trying to beat them.

"Nobody knows how to beat Das Sound Machine, but sure not like this."

"This is an exercise to find harmony, Beca. Sometimes you first have to break something to build it up again."

"I have to do more important things."

Oh shit. Chloe doesn't know about the internship, but well she just went away. We're not together anymore. There's no reason why I have to tell her.

"What's more important than this?"

"Nothing, forget it."

"You think we have not noticed
you are away?"

"Beca, say it now."

Amy says from behind me.

"What you should say? Becca, tell me!"

"Guys, come down. I do not want you falling out. You are Beca and Chloe, together you are Bloe and everyone loves a good blow job. "

"Okay, okay. I work as an intern at a studio and a good producer wants to hear my work. I also have a life besides this group."

"Why would you hide something like that?"

"Because you're obsessed. You all. We study out soon and I'm the only planing life after the Bellas."

"Is it bad to focus on the Bellas? This has been my family for seven years."

"Because you're too afraid to go away or find your own family. This isn't possible for you. You always go back to the Bellas. Everything else in you're life doesn't matters!"

"You're lying to us for a year and now you want to quit while the World Cup is coming?"

"Enough about the World Cup, I am gone!"

"So now you go away?"

"Yes. I also have a life out of all this!"

"Beca, beware."
