Beca's Choice

Competition

It was the day of the first part of the competition for Beca and Chloe, and nerves were running high as they walked into the schools theatre. it was surprisingly full, people whispering to each other as they walk through, taking a seat on the left side near the front. Chloe takes Beca's hand in hers, a comforting feeling dawning over her as she does. she takes a deep breath, squeezing Beca's hand tighter as she does. Beca gives her a reassuring squeeze. "We'll do great" Beca says softly to Chloe, whose eyes were locked on the stage, someone else already performing. Chloe glances over at the Judges. one was an older man, brown hair with a three piece suit. next to her was a woman, blonde and slightly younger. Gail and Jon she thinks she remembered their names on the forum of the competition. their expressions never faltered as they watched everyone, just jotting something down every once in a while. Beca feels Chloe's palm sweat in hers, warm and moist, Beca fought the temptation to pull her hand away and wipe the sweat away, comforting Chloe was more important. 

The two had been called up, and had the time of the people before them to finish to prepare. they were stood backstage, Chloe's face was full of anxiety, her eyes were widen, mouth was tight. Beca could hear the heavy breathing. "Chloe, we'll be fine. we nailed it, remember" Beca tries to comfort Chloe, although it does very little. Beca sighs as she looks around, then presses her lips onto Chloe's. Chloe is taken aback for a second before kissing back, all her worries stripped away almost instantly as her lips melted upon Beca's.  the warm feeling of her against her sent a beautiful feeling through her, like life was being poured into her with every second of the kiss. Beca pulls away with a grin. "Better" She asks. Chloe now had new found confidence, she had no idea how Beca did it, how her kiss was that powerful. but right now, she didn't question it.Chloe smiles at the brunette and nods. "I'm ready" she says, and just in time. as their names were called.

The two make their way onto the stage, hands intertwined together as they do. "Beca Mitchell and... Chloe Beau?" The man asks, to which the two nod. He smiles at the two softly. "I'm John, and this is Gail" he indicates to the woman besides him who gives a warm smile and a little wave. They both seemed nice, which was comforting to the two. "Will you be singing the cover or original first?" John asks. "Cover" Beca simply replies, thankful her nerves wasn't expressed through her voice. the two side step from each other as the track begins.

"Lately I've been, I've been losing Sleep.

Dreaming about the things that we could be.

Baby I've been I've been praying hard.

Said no more counting Dollars.

We'll be Counting Stars.

Yeah, We'll be Counting Stars" Chloe begins, as soon as she had started, all she could see was Beca. all she could hear, feel was Beca. her beautiful heaven sent angel. She smiles as the song begins to come in, Both of them now begin walking, switching positions as they walk parallel in a circle. 

"I see this life

Like a swinging Vine

Swing my Heart across the line

In my face flashing signs

Seek it out and you shall find

The old, but I'm not that old

Young, but I'm not that bold

And I don't think the world is sold

I'm just doing what we're told" Beca now sings, feeling the music flood through her, peeling away any anxiety she had, just letting her have fun, with Chloe. she glances over at the redhead, who was bobbing her head with the rhythm. Then she joins in.
