Arms

19- Work For Me

Chloe's POV
"Have you ever thought of recording your music?" I ask randomly as me and Beca were sitting on my bed working on homework.
"I've recorded it." Beca said distractedly.
"Have you posted it anywhere?" I say pressing forward.
"No. Why would I post it anywhere?" Beca asked putting away her book.
"I don't know. I guess it would make it easier for you to be discovered." I say shrugging.
"I guess you have a point..." Beca said going into thought. "Can you grab my laptop?"
"Sure." I say hoping off the bed. "Why do you want your laptop?"
"Well all of my songs are saved on here." She says taking it from me. "Thank you. Now which song is your favorite?"
"I really like the one you sang when you first asked me out." I say smiling. "What do you call that one?"
"I named it Arms." Beca said smiling. "Since you like that one, we will take it and go over to YouTube..."
"Are you really doing it?" I ask slightly giggling. "You don't have to if you don't want to."
"I want to. You have a point. If I start sharing it now it will make it easier for me to get discovered." Beca said clicking a few buttons on her laptop. "Done. Arms is now public.
"I love you." I say smiling at her.
"I love you too." Beca said giving me a small peck. "Now start doing your homework. You need to graduate."
"But it's so boring." I say dramatically. "Besides if I get held back I'll have another year with you."
"Just do you school work." Beca said shaking her head and going back to her reading.

Theo's POV
"Alright great job today guys. You can all go home." I say smiling even after the long day.
"See you tomorrow Theo." One of the staff members said.
I went into my office and started cleaning up. I went to my computer and put on the dirt song I saw. The familiar tune filled my office as I started gathering my papers.
"All eyes on me when I walk in, No question that this girl's a ten. Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful. Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful. My walk, my talk, the way I dress. It's not my fault so please don't trip. Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful. Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful" I quietly sang along.
I few more songs went through before I heard an amazing beat. Then a beautiful voice filled my office.
"What song is this?" I say quietly as I look at the screen. "Arms by... Beca Mitchell. I've never heard of her before."
I sat in my chair as I searched the name. The only thing that showed up was the song I was listening to previously. I decided to go over to Instagram to see what I could find. I pulled up her profile. She doesn't seemed to be signed to a label. She's in some sort of group. She seems close with this redhead.
"Atlanta Georgia..." I say with a slight smile. "Who knew you had such talent."
I quickly followed her profile before finishing packing up. I'll have to plan a trip soon.

Becas POV
I woke up in the morning with several notifications. Most of them were drunk texts from Stacie along with Amy. I also had a new follower on Instagram. That's weird. I haven't made any new friends lately. Theo? Never heard of him before. Maybe it's one of Chloe's friends. Deciding to think nothing of it I continued with my normal morning. I arrived at school to see Chloe dancing around happily.
"I still don't know how your so happy in the morning." I say still slightly tired.
"It's just my personality Becs. It'll rub off on you eventually." Chloe said giving me a quick kiss.
"Hey Chloe do you know anyone named Theo?" I asked remembering my thought from this morning.
"Uh no not that I know of." Chloe said furrowing her eyebrows. "Why?"
"This random dude followed me on Instagram. I don't know him so I thought you did." I say shrugging.
"Did you look at his profile?" Chloe asked grabbing my phone.
"No. Should I?" I ask dumbly.
"Yes." Chloe giggles showing me the profile. "Looks like he is a music producer with... Sony recording."
"Wait are you serious!?" I say grabbing my phone with a growing smile. "Chloe a music producer followed me!"
"That must mean he listened to Arms. He must have gotten curious." Chloe said smiling. "Beca I think you just got discovered."
"Oh my god I just got discovered!" I say tackling Chloe it what she would call a 'Beale hug'
"I'm so proud of you!" Chloe said picking me up and spinning me around.
"Why is everyone freaking out?" Stacie said casually walking over with Aubrey close behind.
"I got discovered!" I yell giving Stacie a hug.
"Wait are you serious?" Stacie asked with a growing smile earning a nod. "Oh my god my best friend is gonna be famous!"
"That's cool I guess." Aubrey said calmly but with a small smile.
"Yay!" Fat Amy said joining the celebrating. "Wait why are we happy?"
"Becas gonna get a record deal!" Stacie shouted.
"Wait really Shawshank? It's about damn time!" Amy said with probably more enthusiasm than me.
"Come on Bellas. We need to get to class." Aubrey said bringing us out of our bubble.
"Right." I say calming myself. "I can't believe this."
We all walked to class all slightly buzzed from the excitement. Halfway through second period the intercom came on.
"Can you please have Beca Mitchell come to the front office?" She said. "Beca Mitchell."
I looked at the teacher and she nodded. I awkwardly stood up and left the class. I walked to the front office and say a fairly tall man standing there. He had dark brown hair, blue eyes, and a beard. I guess the best way to describe his that he basically looks like a turtle.
"Are you Beca Mitchell?" He asked with a wide smile.
"Yes. Who are you exactly?" I ask hesitantly.
"The names Theo. I work with Sony recording." He said slightly laughing at my shocked expression. "I would like to sign you to the label if you're interested."
"Are-are you serious." I say trying to contain my excitement.
"Dead serious. I stumbled upon your song Arms and I loved it. You got real talent." He said leaning agents the counter. "So, what do you say?"
"Definitely!" I say jumping up and down and letting out a girly squeal. I quickly got my cool and cleared my throat. "I mean, yeah sure whatever."
"I'm guessing this has been your dream for awhile." He said pulling out a form.
"Only for like ten years." I say with half a laugh.
"Alright just quickly review this form and get it back to me with your signature along with your parents." He said handing it to me. "I'll come back in a week."
"Oh my god. Thank you." I say looking at the simple paper in aw.
"Oh and who was the song about?" He asked before he left through the door.
"It was about my girlfriend." I say smiling. "Thank you again Theo."
"The pleasure is all mine." He said leaving me alone in the office.
"Oh my god!" I yelled loudly. "Oh I'm sorry for yelling."
"It's fine. I would react the same way." The desk lady said laughing. "Now get back to class."
I did a little happy dance down the hall before I arrived at my class. I walked in with the biggest smile on my face.
"What happened?" Chloe quietly whispered.
"The Theo guy flew out from LA." I quietly said. "He gave me a form for a record deal. I just have to go over it with my dad and get him to sign it."
"Oh my god!" Chloe said excitedly.
"Is there something you'd like to share with the class Miss Beale?" Our teacher asked.
"Uh no sir. Sorry." She said sitting down and looking at her hands. I couldn't help but laugh. "Shut up."

"Please dad." I say begging. "I'll take online college classes. I really want to do this."
"Well I want you to have an actual education." He said with a stern face. "I will not let you drop out of high school."
"And I won't. He said I could just do summer tours until I graduate. Please dad. This is a chance of a life time." I say looking him dead in the eye.
"Fine give me the form." He said in a defeated tone.
"No you're not listening to- Wait your going to sign the form?" I say cutting myself off. He reluctantly nodded. "Thank you! Just sign here."
In one swift motion the form was signed. I'm going to be a music producer and a singer!

"Promise me you will sleep and eat." Chloe said as we stood at the airport.
"I promise I'll eat but I can't say much about sleep. It's not up to me." I say softly smiling.
"I'm gonna miss you so much." Chloe said giving me a tight hug as she silently cried.
"Hey I'll be back. I promise." I say softly cupping her cheek. "Wish me luck for my first tour?"
"You don't need it." Chloe said giving me a kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too." I say slightly tearing up. "Damn it I promised myself I wouldn't cry."
Chloe let out a teary laugh. Before we were pulled out of our goodbye by my dad.
"Bec its time to go. You don't want to miss your flight. And Chloe you need to get in your flight to NYU." My dad said.
"Right." Chloe said wiping her tears. "Good luck in LA Becs."
"Good luck in New York." I say wiping my own. "Kick ass at NYU."
"Only if you do the same in LA." Chloe said with a wink. "I love you."
"I love you too." I said kissing her. "Okay see ya later."
I turned and walked to my flight as Chloe did the same. We're both going off in the direction of our dream job. Our lives are gonna be great!
