Everyone except Beca is sitting in the cafeteria of the hospital, some are trying to work a bit inside, although that is a bit more difficult because of the enormous chunk in their throat, the news they have received, the choice they have to make, the person they are about to leave.

"Is anyone going to talk about the elephant in the room?"

"Where do you see an elephant, Amy?"

"And again, this proves that you're not the smartest, Em."

"elephant in the room, metaphors, a problem, difficult situation in the group, in this case it's Beca," Aubrey explains. it's been a few hours since she put the syringe in Beca's neck, this time with a larger dose than the beginning, so the brunette stays out for a few more hours.

"just to be clear, I can't do it, I won't do it if someone's going to do it, it's not me" says emily who has her hands in surrender.

"sure, we won't let you do it, but in case you think me, nope," says Stacie popping the P.

"I'll go along with that." Amy says fast.

Aubrey sighs and looks at Chloe sitting next to her. The ginger hasn't spoken the whole time. The pain it hurts Aubrey to see how it hurts Chloe breaks her heart every time she looks at her.

"i- i'm... i'm gonna go see how Beca's doing, maybe bring her some food."

"should I go with you?" asks Aubrey, who's gonna get up behind Chloe in a hurry.

"No, I want to be alone with Beca, thank you." The happiness in the ginger's voice is gone. The pain, the lump in her throat. She's holding her own even though it's hard when you know you have to kill your girlfriend, your true love... After what's happened, she knows for sure, Beca, her friend, is the one... she wants nothing more than to spend the rest of her life by her side.

She walks into the kitchen and looks in the fridge, not much, except jelly then. She grabs a cup and a spoon from the drawer and walks to Beca's room. Walking in she sees the brunette lying quietly on the bed, eyes still closed. Next to the bed is a table with a chair, the chair she had put next to Beca's bed. Slowly she walks further into the room, after she closed the door. sitting on the chair she puts the spoon and jelly on the table.

It's so soothing to watch the brunette sleep, as if she could wake up at any moment and nothing's wrong. Thinking about all the good memories they have, the difficult situations they've faced. The first time she saw Beca, a moment she would never forget. A real hero, who had saved her from her ex-boyfriend. How'd he get on? Was he alive? Not her concern.

Then she starts nurien and closes her eyes...

  I've seen dark before

But not like this

This is cold

This is empty

This is numb

The life I knew is about

The light's are out

Hello, darkness

I'm ready to succumb

I follow you around

I always have

But you've gone to a place I cannot find

This grievance has a gravity

It pulls me down

But a tiny voice whispers in my mind

You are lost, hope is gone

But you must go on

And do the next right thing
