Pitch Perfect One-Shots

Chapter XXXIII - Bechloe: So Not Jelly

Idea by CBClay

It's was a new year and the Bellas weren't off to a good start. They had failed big time when performing for the President on his birthday and they had tarnished not only the Bellas name but also the name of Barden University. They were a laughing stock and they got a bunch of hate from everyone, including the other students at Barden. The Bellas were ashamed of themselves and things hadn't been the same since they humiliated themselves on national TV. They all tried not to focus too much on it but it was hard when their failure was everywhere. However, they all tried to get on with their lives the best they could. Chloe kept telling Beca how embarrassed she was and how awful things were but Beca reassured her that they just needed to practice in order to win the Worlds that was coming up in a few weeks time.

Beca tried her best to calm Chloe down. Ever since Aubrey left the Bellas three years ago, Chloe had now taken Aubrey's role, not as the captain, but as the controlling one. Beca was glad that she was the captain and that she had Chloe as her co-captain. Beca didn't know what she would have done without Chloe. Beca really loved Chloe's input on things just as much as she loved the redhead. Beca loved Chloe as a friend but also more than a friend. Beca had a crush on Chloe ever since they first met three years ago but her feelings only intensified as time went on and after a little while, Beca realised that she was in love with her best friend. Chloe was the most beautiful woman Beca had ever seen. She was beautiful on the inside and out and Beca was absolutely smitten with her.

Unfortunately, Chloe was in a relationship. She had been in an on and off relationship with her dickhead of a boyfriend - Tom. None of the Bellas liked him and Beca hated him. She could tell that he was simply using Chloe for her looks and sex. Tom wasn't the relationship kind. Chloe was more arm candy than anything else but Chloe had convinced herself that she loved him and it was painful to watch. All of the Bellas knew that Beca liked Chloe and after ages of probing, Beca finally admitted to them that she was in love with the redhead. The Bellas were happy for Beca so they made it their mission to try and get Chloe to dump her moron of a boyfriend but nothing they did worked. Beca even tried advancing on Chloe but the woman was so thick-skulled and blinded by her infatuation with Tom that she didn't even notice.

Beca had tried to get with Chloe for a good year and a bit but it quickly became tiresome for her, which caused Beca to give up and distance herself from Chloe. She tried and nothing turned out in her favour. She knew that Chloe loved her but only as friends. Beca loved Chloe, too, but she wanted more. What made things even worse was that Beca and Chloe's relationship began to deteriorate once Beca had given up on trying to get with her. They weren't as close as they once were and Chloe noticed that but she didn't understand why. Beca had put up those protective walls around her again and Chloe hated it and she tried to break them down but the more she tried, the higher Beca built her walls. Chloe's heart broke when she noticed that Beca kept pushing her away but Chloe wasn't a quitter. She just needed to find a new tactic.

Thankfully, Beca had scored an internship at a music studio, which she was super excited about. It was a step in the right direction for her and it was going to help take her mind off of the whole Chloe situation. She didn't plan on telling the rest of the Bellas though or Chloe for that matter. Beca could see that Chloe was becoming increasingly obsessed with the Bellas and she knew that the redhead would have lost her mind if she found out that Beca had other priorities than the Bellas. One evening after Beca had finished her shift at the music studio, the brunette received a text from Chloe that she and the Bellas had recruited a new Bella who was a legacy. Beca didn't even know that was a thing but she didn't question it. The more help they could have gotten the better.

Beca quickly went back to the Bellas house to grab something to eat before she went to a party that was being held on campus. It had been a while since Beca had partied and she felt like she needed to tonight. It had been a long day and she just wanted to unwind with some alcohol, music, and dancing. Beca had gotten to the party and went straight to the bar where she filled her cup with beer and it felt good to have a drink after the long day. However, Beca was interrupted when a girl approached her. She was quite tall, had long, dark, brown hair, and a cute face. Beca soon found out that she was the newest recruit of the Bellas. The two of them had a chat and got to know each other and Beca found out that her name was Emily. Beca wasn't really into brunettes since she had a thing for redheads but Emily was cute and Beca was a sucker for cute and innocent girls.
