You're The Reason
Chapter 1:Hello
"Chloe! Chloe!" Aubrey shook the girl awake. Chloe groaned and whined, covering her head with a pillow. Aubrey shook her again. "Chloe! Auditions for the Bella's are today! Come on we don't want to be late." Chloe stirred around in her bed, noticing her best friend was already dressed and ready to go.
"Bree, give me five more minutes, auditions are at noon and its eight in the morning." She mumbled with her tired morning voice. She climbed out of bed so Aubrey would stop pestering her. She opened the blinds of their apartment and started to make the coffee. She changed her clothes and put on an orange blouse and jeans, leaving her perfectly wavy hair down by her shoulders.
Chloe was what you would call every teenage boys fantasy, every guy on campus wanted to date her, and if they didn't want to date her they wanted to do her. Sadly to all the boys on campus she was taken by her boyfriend Tom Gregson. They were like the most attractive couple on campus, her with her gorgeous blue eyes and perfectly wavy red hair; porcelain skin as well as a gorgeous smile and fit as hell body with perfect curves. Plus a singing voice that could melt your heart like fire melts a candle.
Tom had short brown hair and perfect brown eyes. He was a track athlete so he also was super fit. They had been dating since their sophomore year of college. The perfect couple in everyone's eyes. Chloe was pretty sure she was going to marry him. Or so she thought.
Once Chloe had finished getting ready for the day she decided to break in a couple extra minutes of studying since she had a big test coming up for psychology.
Baker Hall was quiet that morning, like it was every morning. Beca slept in her bed soundly while her roommate Kimmy Jin got up to leave for her first class. When she heard the door close, the young freshman woke up from her peaceful rest. A yawn escaped her mouth and she sat up from her bed, instantly going to her music equipment.
Beca Mitchell, how could one describe her. She was an outsider, a person who likes to be alone, to keep her feeling to herself and shut other's out because eventually she wouldn't matter to them anymore. She was the child of John Mitchell, who taught at Barden. Her mom had died a couple years before Beca graduated high school, and ever since her daughter had been a non social teen who didn't really give a damn about the outside world.
Her father had made her go to college for a year and they had made a deal, if Beca showed that she was trying to be a part of something special, then when her year at Barden was over she could head to LA and become a music producer. So far none of the clubs on campus seemed to intrigue her. All except one. It was this a Capella group called the Barden Bella's.
Now to be clear, Beca thought a Capella was truly lame, but she still wanted to join the club. And not so her dad would get off her back, but because this club had the most beautiful girl in the world as one of their leaders. Beca never had caught her name, but she knew that face was one she'd never forget. The way she walked and smiled made Beca weak in the knees. Not to mention the fact that she had seen this girl naked when the redhaired beauty barged in on her shower. At first Beca was freaked out, but damn that girl had body that could stop traffic.
That's why she was gonna try to join this group, to try and get close to this girl. Beca had known she herself was into girls since freshman year. She wasn't a virgin, in fact she had banged four girls in high school, so she got around pretty well. But as much of a ladies lady she was, Beca was only focused on this girl in the a Capella group. Not just for possibly getting laid, but for a genuine first relationship.
Later that day auditions commenced. Chloe and Aubrey lost count of the amount of people they saw. They had however kept count of the amount of snide and dumbass comments Bumper made in between auditions. They had picked out about seven girls they were interested in, including that girl who called herself Fat Amy. Chloe was whispering with Aubrey while the last auditioned walked off stage.
"Really not that impressed this year guys." Freddie the audition planner said as he and his "assistant" Justin walked on stage. Chloe looked up and spotted an exciting sight.
"Wait there's one more." She said as she saw the young brown haired freshman walk up awkwardly.
"Hello." She said waving sheepishly.
"Hey." Chloe said smiling at her widely as she walked up.
Beca walked up in front of them shyly before saying, "I didn't know we had to prepare that song."
Chloe shook her head, "No worries it's okay, sing anything you want." She said with a kind expression and a a smile that made Beca's heart skip a beat. Beca then sat down and grabbed that yellow cup. She poured the pens out and then began the cup song.
"I got my ticket for the long way round,
Two bottle of whiskey for the way,
And I sure would like some sweet company and I'm leaving tomorrow,
What'd ya say?
When I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere
Oh I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone"
One thing was on Chloe's mind while she watched the girl sing. Wow. She couldn't keep her eyes off of the young freshman. The way her mouth moved, the way her voice sounded like it was from an angel in heaven, everything. Chloe was so captivated by the young girl, she felt her heart speed up rapidly. After Beca had finished Chloe smiled at her showing how amazing she though Beca was.
"What's your name again?" Chloe asked joyfully.
"Uh, it's Beca. Beca Mitchell." The girl said shyly. Chloe bit her lip at the girl before she refocused.
"Now that's the last one." She said informing Freddie and Justin.
Chloe ran after Beca before she could leave the building. "Hey Beca!" She said as she caught up.
Beca turned around and smiled. "Hey." She said. God Chloe was gorgeous, Beca thought to herself. She sang that song and the only person that seemed to be in the room with her was Chloe. "What's up."
"Bree and I want you in the Bella's. But she doesn't know I'm telling you because it's usually a surprise. And I just wanted to let you know that around nine tonight we're going to come into your dorm room and cover your head before bringing you to the practice hall for initiation." She said.
"Alright sounds good." Beca said. They smiled at each other for a moment before Beca asked. "Can I have your number? Just you can keep me posted on Bella stuff." Really Beca just wanted the girls number.
"Oh yeah sure." Chloe nodded. She had Beca hand her her phone and Chloe put her number in it. "Here I'll take a picture." Then surprisingly when she took the picture, she kissed Beca's cheek, capturing it it on camera. The brunette couldn't help but smile. "There you go." She said smiling. "I'll see you tonight then?"
Beca nodded. "Definitely." She said with a smile.
"Awesome." Chloe said before running off. Beca watched her go back inside and she smiled. Maybe this place wasn't so bad after all.
Later that night Beca did in fact get a hold shoved over her head and was taken to initiation. Later at the hood night party she stood in the empty seats of the amphitheater. That one boy Jesse that she worked with at the radio station got her a drink. They had become pretty good friends. Before Jesse even tried to come onto Beca she told him she was straight up gay, so now they were each other's wingmen, or woman in Beca's case.
Jesse had gone off to join the party, and Beca watched it from the outside. She looked for Chloe, scouring the premises for a sign of the redhead. She smiled when she finally spotted Chloe. She was gonna go up and talk to her, but she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Chloe start making out with some guy. She had seen that guy in the showers but never expected that he was Chloe's boyfriend.
Go figure she was straight, Beca thought to herself. No girl that beautiful was gay, she thought to herself. Her spirits dampened from the sight she just saw made her realize she didn't want to be at the party anymore. She walked up to Jesse and tapped his shoulder to get his attention since the music was too loud.
"Can you walk me back to my dorm? I'm getting tired." She said. He nodded and threw his cup away before following Beca out of the amphitheater.
"Have you seen Beca?" Chloe asked Amy around eleven pm.
"Short stack? She left about twenty minutes ago, with her wingman." Amy said as she danced along with the music.
"She didn't even say goodbye." Chloe said, a little bit hurt by the fact Beca didn't even say goodbye to her.
"So you saw her kissing a guy?" Jess asked as they got back to her dorm.
Beca nodded, sniffling a little. "I should've figured she was straight, she so fucking beautiful it almost hurts to look at her." She said.
"You've got it bad don't you?" Jesse asked.
"It's pretty obvious that girl has me wrapped around her finger, and I haven't even known her that long." Beca said as they got to her dorm room.
"Don't give up on it okay. Just go in and have fun at your first rehearsal tomorrow." Jesse said, giving his friend a hug. "Goodnight Beca."
"Goodnight Jesse. You're a great friend." Beca said, before opening her door and falling on her bed, instantly falling asleep.
