5 Years

Thirteen

          Days went by, Chloe and Beca both weren't talking. Amy was pissed off that Beca wouldn't speak any words. Stacie went home, but Aubrey stayed with Chloe.

          "I told you Aubrey, I knew I shouldn't have told her. I scared her" Chloe sighed as she cuddled her dog on the couch. Aubrey was making grilled cheese for lunch in the kitchen. They were both at Chloe's house. Chloe hadn't left in days. Her management was pestering her about working on the album. She knew she would have to soon, but she couldn't do her best when Beca and her were having issues.

          "Do you really want to know what's up with Beca?" Aubrey asked. Chloe looked up with a confused face.

          "What would you know?" She asked.

          "Amy texted me. She hasn't left her room in days. If she does it's to go into the kitchen and bathroom. She hasn't spoken" Aubrey said as she put the sandwiches on different plates. Chloe sat up when Aubrey brought out the sandwiches.

          "She hasn't done that since-"

           "Since you and Tom got engaged back in college" Aubrey smirked as she sat next to Chloe on the couch.

          "But Aubrey! That took 3 weeks to get her to speak! My management is on my ass about this album. I don't have 3 weeks to get her to even just breath next to me" Chloe sighed and ran a hand through her hair. She then took a bite of the sandwich and smiled at the taste. Her mind once the taste was gone was back to Beca.

          "Amy's got this under control" Aubrey said, hoping she was right.

               ---------------------------

         Amy was waiting at the airport for someone she called to help with Beca. She couldn't get the small brunette to say one word. Not even a 'what'. It was insane. Amy had gotten away with so many remarks and insults. At first it was fun, but now it was just boring. The people from the recent plane that had landed started to unload slowly.

         "Oi!" Amy yelled at the girl with a flannel. Her ear buds were hanging from her ears.

          "Amy!" Eliza yelled. They shared a hug with one another then walked to the uber. "So what's up with her?" Eliza asked as she put her bags in the back of the car.

          "She won't speak. Chloe confessed her love, then Beca saw her making out with her boyfriend. So she's been ignoring not just Chloe, but everyone" Amy sighed. She was annoyed with her best friend to no end.

          The drive was about 30 minutes. Amy and Eliza caught up. Amy knew Eliza since she was in high school due to knowing Beca in their freshman year at college. It was always nice when they saw one another, even in situations like this.

           The car pulled up and Eliza laughed. "Okay, Amy, you have Beca living in a frat house" Eliza said and Amy sighed.

           "Shut up! I thought she'd be in bed with her by now" Amy muttered and smacked the girl's arm jokingly as she got out. Eliza grabbed her bags and Amy lead her inside.

           "Here's the guest room, you can put your stuff in there and Beca is across the hall" Amy informed her. Eliza nodded and placed her bags in the room. Amy went to go get ready for her date with her boyfriend.

           Eliza walked over to Beca's room and didn't even knock. She swung the door open and behind her. Beca didn't even realize her at all because her ear buds were in her ears. The younger girl rolled her eyes and shut the laptop screen.

           "Amy!" Beca yelled and ripped her ear buds out. She looked up and her eyes went wide. "What the fuck-"

           "Okay, Amy told me you wouldn't speak. I'm a little disappointed" Eliza sighed and Beca just rolled her eyes.

          "What are you doing here?" Beca sighed as the put her laptop to the side along with her earbuds.

          "I was recruited because someone is being a depressed freak" Eliza said as she sat on the bed across from her older sister.

           "Recruited" Beca muttered and rolled her eyes.

           "Listen, you need to go and finish this album-"

           "Seriously? Has Amy not filled you in?" Beca asked as she crossed her arms. Eliza rolled her eyes and grabbed Beca's phone. "Hey!" Beca whined.

          "She has, but I mean...look at all the texts and emails from Chloe that you won't even acknowledge" Eliza said as she looked at all of the messages. "Answer her. Just send a simple hey-"

          "No, 'Liz! She said she loved me and made out with 'it' "

         "It?" Eliza looked up from the phone with her face looking confused as hell.

        "Yeah, It, the it" Beca shrugged. It was silent for a bit until reality hit Beca. "You know...she said she loved me then made out with it?" Beca asked.

         "You told me-" Eliza cut off when she realized that reality just hit Beca. She put the phone down and just let a now crying Beca cry into her shoulder. Beca never cried around anyone, only the people closest to her got to see that. Amy barely saw her cry. Eliza just sighed and hugged her.

          "Listen, just don't cut me off or I'll punch you. She loves you. It's obvious, I bet it was just bad timing. You need to pull together, sack up, and go to talk to her" Eliza said and Beca chuckled.

          "You always told me that saying 'sack up' was lame" Beca sniffled as she pulled away. Eliza looked for tissues and sighed when there was none. She just held her sleeve up and let Beca use that.

         "Yeah well, you're lame" Eliza said. She made a disgusted face at the snot on her sleeve.

        "Can I go over tomorrow? I need time to just, prepare" Beca said.

        "Yeah, how do you prepare?"

        "Talk about that slut that our father is renewing his vows with" Beca laughed causing Eliza to laugh.

        "She is a big slut isn't she?" Eliza laughed. They stayed up all night talking about everything. Finally Beca passed out and Eliza got up from the bed. She went over into her room and got changed. She was going out partying that night. Amy was walking in when Eliza was walking out.

           "Did you fix her?" Amy asked and Eliza laughed.

           "She is going to see Chloe tomorrow. If I'm not here, force her to go. I should be back by 10 before she wakes up-"

          "She wakes up at 8 now" Amy said and Eliza looked at her.

          "Seriously? I gotta come back earlier now?" She whined and Amy laughed.

          "Why do you hide that you go partying? You're not in high school anymore" Amy asked. Eliza always hid it from Beca. Beca hated Eliza attending those things. Growing up with just their dad that was always working, Beca basically raised Eliza. Their mom died when they were young and they had a string of step mothers. They're only a couple years apart, but Beca was still protective of her.

          "Because Beca doesn't need that on her right now. I'll be back in time to make sure she goes" Eliza said and left.
