The Basketcase and The Princess

CHAPTER 6

Beca hadn't given a thought to the Bellas. Nor Chloe. Beca was coping fine. Not even coping because there wasn't a big loss to cope with. Cause she didn't care. Hadn't cared to begin with. A cappella sucked.

They all sucked.

Chloe sucked.

Most. Of. All.

Whatever.

Beca had been kicked out. Right? By that utter dick Aubrey. Or threatened with it. Threatened with a threat of a threat? Either way Aubrey was a dick. And ok she wasn't clear because she hadn't stayed around long enough to argue. Because she didn't care. Like at all. She was so over trying... trying what? Dude what was she even thinking trying out for the Bella's in the first place?

She wasn't.

Her mind clouded with any way to see Chloe.

Maybe. No this was a terrible thing because the pangs in her chest were of longing. Longing to even have a chance to gaze at the glowing ethereal being that was Chloe. Those eyes that pulled Beca in, but the rest of her didn't pull for her when it counted. When Aubrey was shouting at her, nobody stepped up, Chloe didn't step in and pull for her. Didn't tell Aubrey how out of line she was or tell Aubrey that she had wanted Beca there.

Nothing.

Yes this was a good thing because of those pangs for Chloe she was still feeling after all that. Beca knew she had to be forced away from seeing her. This getting kicked out, sure it wasn't up to her, but what in her life right now was her decision anyways? Another choice taken away. Chloe taken away. Good. If it had been up to her maybe, just maybe she would've betrayed the bad ass in her and became some puppy dog, she could feel it creeping into her entire being when Chloe was around. So yes. Yes it fucking was a good thing Chloe wouldn't be a part of her life, change who she is at her core, or like make her the happiest and giddiest she can remember ever being. Cause that would like totally suck. Ha! Being happy.

She could focus on her college work. Get out of Barden quicker. Focus on making some money at the station. Still hoping to get on the air and make some steps forward that would help her when she moved to LA. Cause she would move to LA. If she could only focus.

She didn't care about the Bellas.

Nope.

Didn't care about Chloe.

Nope.

Chloe could suck it. So why couldn't she stop thinking about Chloe?

Fuck her.

Fuck don't think about that. That's a slippery slope once you go down that route. Don't let your mind even wander, nope nopeity nope. Why? Because fuck her that's why.

Chloe may as well have kicked her out, the entire group really. Another place she didn't belong.

So yes apart from all that college was going fine. Totally. Fine. It's fine. It's fine. She's happy. Everything is fine.

She hates that she still wants to spend time with Chloe. Even after she knows its wrong. Fucking Chloe. Course of action? Inaction. Beca avoids her and instead she spends most of her free time at the station with Jesse, with the enemy as Aubrey had pointed out. How even though? How had Aubrey found out she worked with Jesse? Beca, well she just found it laughable. Just because she's female and he's male and they inhabit the same space they automatically have to be screwing?

Screw her.

As if Jesse was going to be some big distraction. Beca's pretty sure thats why Aubrey doesn't want the a cappella groups fraternising. If Aubrey didn't want Beca to be distracted then yeah she should just kick her out, because Chloe, Aubrey's very own little yes woman, was the biggest distraction of all.
