Beca's POV

I don't know what to say. I don't know what to think. I feel so alien. Chloe... The love of my life... The girl I've been dating for ten years... The girl I was going to marry and start a family with... cheated on me. The news didn't come lightly from Stacie's mouth. She kind of just blurted it out. I was having lunch with Stacie and Aubrey and I was talking about how I wanted to propose to Chloe but Stacie came out with the news that Chloe had cheated on me. Aubrey wasn't happy with her girlfriend since she wanted to wait for Chloe to tell me but she never did. Apparently, it happened two weeks ago at Chloe's cousin's party. I was out of town on a small business trip when it happened. When I got home Chloe acted strangely but I just thought it was because she missed me and I didn't think anything of it. Now it all makes sense.

I'm at a complete loss for words. I never thought Chloe would do such a thing. She's the most honest and most loyal person I have ever met. As soon as I met her at the activities fair ten years ago I knew there was something special about her. I couldn't stop thinking about her when I met her and I certainly couldn't get her out of my mind when she invaded my shower. I couldn't believe that she did that but now, after ten years of getting to know each other, I can. Chloe is so confident and outgoing, she just doesn't care. I've never met anyone like her before in my life and I know this sounds cheesy and it's so un-me but it was love at first sight when I saw Chloe and it was love at first sight for her, too. I know that because she told me.

I wasn't sure what to make of Chloe at first but all I knew is that I wanted to get to know her better. She was the reason why I joined the Barden Bellas. I honestly did think singing a capella was lame and I felt a little bad once I realised that I hurt Chloe's feelings by saying it. Before I knew it, I was walking out onto that stage and I auditioned for the Bellas. The look on Chloe's face was priceless. She was so happy that I auditioned and was over the moon when I got accepted. I wasn't as excited as her to be apart of the team, I was more excited that I had an excuse to see Chloe and be with her. However, back then I was still trying to figure out who I was and more importantly, my sexuality. I had been on the fence for years but as soon as I met Chloe, I knew what team I was batting for.

When I got accepted into the Bellas, Aubrey dragged us all to an aca-initiation night, which composed of newly recruited a capella singers. I wasn't much of a party person since I didn't like socialising with anyone but Chloe was there so I made an effort as much as I could have back then. The most annoying part about the night was how Jesse, a guy I worked with at a radio station on campus, kept hitting on me. I was trying to work up some confidence to talk to Chloe but he kept on holding me back. Looking back on it now, I really should have thanked him since him hitting on me sent Chloe straight into my arms and into my bed for that matter. When Jesse left to get me a drink, Chloe marched up to me, grabbed my hands, and kissed me. It was a shock but I wasn't complaining. I just kissed her back then we quickly bailed on the party and had some fun of our own.

I would describe that to be the best night of my life and one I'll never forget. I got the girl of my dreams in the span of a few days. It was the biggest success of my life and it's the best decision I ever made. I didn't plan on going to the party but Chloe was going so I had no choice and it turned out to be the best party ever. Chloe and I hooking up and being together ever since seems a bit cliché, I know, but it's what happened. Besides, we weren't the only ones that had a good night. It took a little probing and prying but we (Chloe and I) and the rest of the Bellas eventually found out that Aubrey and Stacie hooked up that night, too, and they've been together ever since. It took me by surprise since they're complete opposites of each other but so are me and Chloe. I knew it was going to be a wild ride with her but I knew from the moment we got together that my life was going to change for the better.
