Beca wormed her way through the swarm of people before entering the staff locker room. Freshening up, Beca went to the bathroom and washed her hands. Humming along with the faint song currently playing that was muffled by the walls of the staff room.

Walking back out into the madness she was dragged back in by Jesse. She near snapped his arm off hers but stopped when she realized it was her boss.

"Woah just me, release the claws." He laughed.

Beca did and gave him a questioning look, "What's wrong?"

"I was about to call you but saw you come in here and needed to speak to you ASAP."

"Okay." Beca waited.

"Holly has a family emergency and needs to leave. That leaves me with one hostess short of the most important table that needs a host..." His eyes were pleading with the brunette who rolled her own.

"Jesse-"

"Beca I don't want to be the ass here but I need you to go to V.I.P table 2 now."

Fucking dammit!

Beca slumped in posture, which told him she was going to do it, much to her dismay.

"Take one of the spare dresses on the rack. Heels? Uhmm the shoes you are wearing now will have to do..." Jesse tipped his chin over to the far corner of the locker room.

"Really?" Beca whined.

"Yes it's policy! I'm able to keep your spot covered on the bar but need a qualified person to host."

"Fine. But I'm leaving my hair up."

"Yes, yes that's fine! Thank you Beca! Please get changed immediately and be out at table 2!" he shot out the door and left.

Beca stared at the red dress and rolled her eyes, huffing as she picked it up, she got changed.

Chloe sat back down at the V.I.P couch but was pulled up by Jess who wanted to dance. She laughed at her drunk friends but swayed her hips along to the fast paced electro music.

"Hey I meant to ask you," Chloe yelled to her friend, "What about Steve?"

Steve was apart of the male dancers in the show. This however was a girl's night out and the guys decided to go elsewhere, but rumors about Jess and Steve have been the new talk around backstage.

"Ugh no. He hit on me once but- I don't know... not my type, at all!" Jess laughed, "Besides the last thing I want to do is get involved with one of the other dancers. Been there, done that."

Chloe just nodded and returned her attention to the music.

"You having fun?" Jess asked.

Chloe nodded again. She hadn't taken a break for a while with her focus on the show and her music, it was nice to just relax. Well she was relaxed before her eyes could have sworn they had seen the small brunette from earlier in the day, now she was scanning the club more often.

Jess caught this, "Who are you looking for?"

"Huh? No one." Chloe yelled back.

Jess squinted her eyes with a smirk, "Have you been on the hunt Chlo?"

"No Jess..."

"Oh you have! Who is it?" Jess stopped dancing and stood beside Chloe to look out over the club with her friend.

Chloe rolled her eyes, "No one Jess! Geez are you on a mission to get me laid or something?"

"Yes." Jess stated firmly, "And so should you! We all need some... stress relief! God knows you need it."
