The day at the studio was slow. It was mainly talking about what Chloe wanted the album to sound like. Chloe being an acoustic artist decided to add some new things into it compared to her older albums. Beca was all ears of course. Writing down everything Chloe had in mind. It was like this when they were in the Barden Bella's. Chloe would tell Beca what songs she wanted for the mix, how she wanted it, and the routine for it. Beca would make it just the way she wanted it. So it was nothing different this time around.
"So basically, I feel like this album is going to be more dark then my last" Chloe said. "I have songs written for it, but uh..Beca. I was wondering if maybe you wanted to write one?" Chloe turned her head to the brunette hidden behind her.
"Whoa Chloe, she's a music producer" Jackson, Chloe's guitarist, said.
"Jackson, I worked with Beca in college. I know her capabilities. You don't" Chloe snapped causing a smirk from Beca.
"Does she talk?" Jackson chuckled.
"Do you shut up?" Beca asked causing a smirk on Chloe's face to appear.
"Listen, this isn't an acapella group session. This is actual fucking work" Jackson said causing silence in the room. The silence was so tense you could hear a needle drop.
"Like I said, I know Beca. This is my album. I have the ability to fire you as well, remember that" Chloe said and turned to face Beca. "Write me a song?" She asked.
"Yeah, uh, what about?" Beca asked and Chloe bit her lip.
"Me"
--------------------------------
Beca went back to the hotel, exhausted. It was a long day. As she unlocked the door, she regretted ever opening it. The view was Amy snuggled into some guy. He was in his boxers, Amy only in a shirt.
"Amy!" Beca yelled and looked away as she went to the bathroom.
"What?! It's nothing you haven't seen before!" Amy yelled back.
"I told you to never speak about that" Beca said from the bathroom. She shut the door and ran a hand through her hair.
Beca wasted no time by going in the bedroom and finding her laptop out of her bag. She opened it and placed it on the bed, waiting for it to load up.
"Alright! I'm dressed and he's gone!" Amy said as she walked into the room Beca was in. "How'd it go?" Amy asked.
"Fine, just basically talking. We start actually recording tomorrow" Beca said.
"There's something you're not telling me" Amy smirked as she saw her best friend frantically go to her laptop.
"What?" Beca asked as she opened her file of songs. Then to a certain file labeled 'Chloe' .
Amy jumped on the bed beside Beca and saw the file. "Did she ask you to write a song?" Amy asked and Beca just nodded.
"About her" Beca mumbled and started to look through. Amy's grin grew and she got up.
"I'll leave you to it!" Amy smiled and left.
--------------------------------
Next day came around and it was the same morning as yesterday, except for Beca. Beca was running to the coffee shop when she ran into some guy.
"Whoa!" Jesse chuckled and Beca looked up. "Beca?" He asked.
"Jesse?" Beca laughed.
"Hey!" They both laughed in unison then shared a hug.
"What are you doing here?" Jesse asked in disbelief of seeing his ex girlfriend.
"I have a job here. What about you?" Beca asked.
"I moved here for a school job. I'm a music teacher" He smiled.
"Seriously? Wow dude, good for you!" Beca smiled.
"Want to go grab some coffee?" Jesse asked and Beca sighed.
"I'd love to, but I'm already late. Here's my number and maybe later we can?" Beca asked as she took his phone. He had the same passcode he always had, so she put her number in. Jesse smiled seeing Beca give him her number.
"Yeah, totally" Jesse smiled and they hugged. "It was great seeing you again Beca" Jesse sighed.
"Great seeing you too" Beca smiled and they let go. Both went their separate ways off to their jobs.
--------------------------------
Beca got back from the studio to see Fat Amy had gone out for the night. So she decided to ask Jesse to come hang out. He did and they spent the night just talking about old times or new things in their lives.
Beca was mid talking when her phone rang. "Hello?" She asked
"Hey! It's Chloe. I was wondering when you'll have that song?" Chloe asked and Jesse yelled from the window.
"Dude! You can see the whole city!" He yelled causing Beca to laugh.
"Who is that?" Chloe chuckled.
"Jesse, he lives here and we crashed into each other" Beca laughed.
Chloe felt the words crumble her. She couldn't believe it. Jesse and Beca were hanging out again. That usually leads to them being a thing. She decided to not over think it and continued talking music with Beca for a bit. She then hung up and turned to Tom.
"Ready?" Tom asked. Her PR stunt boyfriend. Chloe hated faking it, but her management insisted.
"Ready as I'll ever be" Chloe faked a smile and followed him out the door, then into the car. They would be seen at a party downtown. Chloe hated parties. She used to love them back in college, but that's when she was younger and she was with her girls. It wasn't the same these celebrity, Hollywood, glamorous, parties. Everyone was dressed up and mature. Back in college, they had fun. No party Chloe attended any more was like that.
--------------------------------
Jesse left that night to leave Beca by herself. It was all over social media about Tom and Chloe. Beca sighed and put her phone down. She plugged it in and crawled into bed. With that, she fell asleep. Tomorrow would be a day off from the studio and her first day to explore LA.
--------------------------------
Happy October!! Sorry this is such a late update. I got a new phone so I wanted to get used to the keyboard before writing! Enjoy!
