Chloe's POV

I won't let you down
I will not give you up

I glance over at Beca for the last few moments of the song, and suddenly it hits me.

This is the last time it's ever gonna be like this.

No more Bellas. No more a capella.

No more Beca.

She looks so happy as she sings - her face lights up with all the emotions she used to try to hide. But 6 years since we first met, a lot of things have changed. But I'm not ready for them to change again. I'm scared to let go for a second time.

It's the one good thing that I've got

Her voice ends the song with the edge of certain finality and I feel my heart break a little.

As the instruments cease, Beca grins at the cheering audience before turning back to the Bellas. I rush forward to hug her and she wraps her arms tightly around me. My eyes are filled with tears and I'm not even sure why anymore. I'm so so proud of her, but it's also a bittersweet moment. Especially with everything I never told her.

You had 4 years of college to tell Beca how you felt, Chloe. And 3 years later, you had a whole fucking European tour to say just something - a clear second chance - but you missed that too. It's too late now to say anything.

We walk off stage and Beca walks over to Theo - no doubt she's gonna kiss him just like she kissed Jesse at the end of the ICCAs. I see him move in and quickly run over to Chicago, wrapping my arms around him and kissing him forcefully. I turn my head slightly to look at Beca, who seems to just be staring at me along with Theo - the both of them seem to be doing anything but kissing. Shit. Chloe, you've totally misjudged this entire situation. Jesus Christ, why are you so useless half the time?

I rapidly detach myself from Chicago and pull away regretfully. Well, regretful in the sense I wish I hadn't done anything in the first place - I obviously don't regret pulling away. Unfortunately, Beca's already disappeared out of sight. Great, so now everything really has to end this way.

Now she's working with DJ Khaled, what's the likelihood I'm ever going to be able to see her again?
