Chloe's POV:
It's been about two months since Beca came to visit. We haven't really talked much since. We've been very distant and it's getting to me. I've been having a hard time lately. Aubrey has been going out more and staying at other people's houses, I've been in this apartment by myself lonely. I text Beca all the time and I get nothing. I call her, she doesn't answer.
I feel like the only time I get to hear or see my fiancé is if she's on tv doing some talk show or if she's running from paparazzi. 
I knew Beca would be on good morning America so I made sure to watch. I'd do anything to hear and see her. I miss her.
Chloe, on the couch, with a nice cup of hot tea and her favorite robe on, turns on the tv so she could see her fiancé.
"Our next guest is Beca Mitchell, new up and coming music producer, she's produced three albums with three amazing artist, including The Weeknd, Alicia keys, and Aurora, alright Beca, get out her"
Beca was wearing a nice long legged black jumper with a pair of nice red heels.
Chloe was in awe with how incredibly gorgeous her fiancé looked.
"So Beca, tell us about yourself. We wanna get to know the real Beca Mitchell" the reporter had asked Beca
"Oh. Gosh. Well, what would you like to know?" Beca asked with a chuckle
Chloe missed that chuckle.
"Explain these pictures" the reporter said sternly.
The pictures were of Beca and another girl eating at some fancy restaurant.
"What the fuck" Chloe yelled out to herself
Chloe's mind raced. Is this why Beca hasn't been talking to her. Is she cheating? How could she? Chloe's mind was clouded with thoughts but she had to continue watching. She needed to hear what Beca was gonna say.
"Uhm..those pictures. Yeah. Uhm" Beca couldn't get words out.
"Look. I'm in a committed relationship with the love of my life" Beca said with uncertainty in her voice.
"These pictures Beca don't look like you're very committed" the reporter said with such disgust.
In one of the pictures was of Beca giving the random girl her jacket. In another it was Beca sticking her tongue out in the most cute and playful way at the random dark haired mystery woman. In the last picture it was Beca and her locked arms.
"I...I am" Beca said softly.
"At this time we will be taking some calls" the reporter said. Beca looked confused. She had no clue this was gonna happen.
"Alright first caller, go."
"Hi. My name is Caitlyn and I'm wondering, if you're so in love with someone why would you be so touchy with someone" the call ended and Beca began to answer.
"Look. I'm a natural cling. Once I'm comfortable with a person I get super friendly and I see that it's landed me in a big mess" Beca finished.
"But Beca, these pictures look more like you're on a date, and not a date one would go on with a friend"
Chloe quickly dialed the show. Hoping she'd be put through.
After five minutes of waiting and like 8 questions later, Chloe was finally put through.
"Beca..." that's all Chloe said. She knew Beca would know it was her.
"Chlo" Beca said excited yet confused and scared. "It's not what it looks like baby"
"Woah. Baby" the reporter said confused.
"Beca. What is going on. What are those pictures" Chloe said her voice shaken.
"Babe. I will explain everything. I promise. Just not like this" Beca said.
The reporter began speaking "caller. May we know how you know Beca Mitchell"
"Yeah. She's my fiancé" Chloe said.
"Fiancé, interesting"
"Beca. I don't wanna talk later. I wanna talk now. I have you here. On national tv, you have no reason to lie. If you're cheating you're cheating, we will work through it. I just need to know what the heck is going on" Chloe said now crying.
"Chlo..." Beca said now crying.
"There was my answer Becs. I'm gonna go" Chloe hanging up crying hysterically
"Chloe no" Beca got up pulling her mic off and running to her dressing room grabbing her phone.
Chloe. She felt so broken. She didn't even know the whole story. But she was so broken. How? That is the only thing running through Chloe's mind right now. Chloe's phone was blowing up. With a dozen missed calls from Beca, calls missed from fat Amy and more of the Bella's and a some missed from her mom. She couldn't face anyone right now.

Beca's POV:
"Shit, shit, shit" beca's voice yelled out.
I wasn't cheating. I was trying to buy a fucking house. I wanted it to be a surprise. I wanted to move Chloe here, I wanted to buy a house she would love. I couldn't do the distance anymore. I wasn't trying to ignore her. I really wasn't. I was just so focused and got caught up.
I know. The pictures look horrible. But. I closed on a house and my realtor and I went out to celebrate, and I got carried away with the drinks.
The picture where I'm sticking my tongue out is because Bailey, my REALTOR was cutting me off from drinks.
The one where I'm giving her my jacket was because she had spilled sauce on her blouse and was embarrassed.
And the last one where I'm holding on her was because I was wasted and couldn't really walk by myself.
"Fuck Chloe. Answer me" Beca left about 30 messages. Chloe was not answering.
"Hey. Dan. Can you please get me on the first plane to Seattle. I gotta fix this" Beca said sternly.
Beca went to her room to pack. If Chloe wasn't gonna answer, Beca was gonna do there.
"There is a flight in 2 hours. Hurry and pack and we should be able to make it" dan, beca's manager yelled
"On it" Beca yelled from the other room.
