"We're here Bec" Jesse would say after peaking his head into her room.
"Thanks Jess" Beca would say, not looking up.
Their tour bus had just pulled up outside the Bella house. Most Bellas were already waiting for Beca outside. She chuckled to herself about how dorky her friends were but she wouldn't change them for the world.
"So were here for two weeks so you can graduate with your class, then after that were packing all your stuff up and moving you out to L.A, sound good?" Mike would ask before Beca got off the bus.
"Yep sounds good Mike. I'm gonna go spend some time with the Bellas because I missed them. Are you and the guys heading to the hotel for the night or?" She asked.
"Yeah we're just going to the hotel. Most of us are probably going to sleep considering we haven't had a real bed in a while." Mike said laughing a little.
"Sounds good, I'll see you guys tomorrow" Beca said, and with that she left the bus and headed towards the Bellas house.
"Beca!" She'd hear yelled her way.
She'd laugh as she was crushed in a giant group hug.
"Hey guys. I've missed you all but if you kill me that won't be good" she'd joke as they let her go.
"We've missed you Bec! The Bellas haven't been the same since you left" Stacie told her.
"Sorry guys. I'm here for two weeks though so hopefully we all can get caught up" she said with a smile.
She looked around to all their faces and noticed a certain redhead was missing. Her features saddened which didn't go unnoticed by Amy.
"Don't worry shortstack, Red missed you too. She's currently inside." Amy would whisper to her so the others didn't hear.
"I wasn't looking for her Ames but thanks for the info I guess" Beca said as she picked up her bags and headed inside.
"Welcome home shorty" CR said as they entered the house.
"Thanks. So question? Last time I was here I shared a bed with Chloe. If my memory serves me right, she broke up with me before I left. Where am I sleeping?" Beca asked.
"We moved a second bed into Amy's room. You can sleep there." Stacie said.
"Thanks." Beca said as she headed up the stairs to Amy's room.
Once she unpacked, she laid down on the bed and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
Downstairs the girls all sat in the kitchen.
"So Red when you going to actually show your face to her?" Stacie asked.
"Stace you know what happened between us. I was an idiot. How can I show myself to her." Chloe groaned.
"Ginger I know I wasn't the only one who noticed but Beca isn't the Beca we knew before she left. There's bags under her eyes, she's skinnier then she was. She moves slower and seems unhappy even when she actually is happy. I think being apart from you really took a toll on her not only mentally, but physically as well." Amy said.

"Yeah shorty really did look different" CR said.
"That's probably just the stress of touring." Chloe said defensively.
Before anyone could continue they heard a loud noise from up the stairs before seeing Beca run down the stairs.
"Woah Bec slow down" Stacie said approaching her.
"I can't. I can't find the necklace. I need to find it." Beca said as she looked everywhere she had stood earlier that day.
"What necklace?" Amy asked.
"The necklace I gave Chloe a few months before tour, the one she threw at me as she broke up with me. I've carried it with me almost everywhere and I can't find it. It's all I have left from the happiest time of my life I can't lose it" Beca explained as she searched the house.
"Chill shorty it couldn't have gone to far" CR said.
"Mike" Beca said holding her phone to her ear.
"Yeah Bec?"
"Have you seen the necklace anywhere?" She asked.
"The Chloe necklace? No why?"
"I can't find it. Can you check the tour bus for me?" She asked.
"Yeah no problem. Don't worry it'll show"
"Thanks Mike" she said before hanging up.
"You still have that?" Beca froze as she head the voice she fell in love with.
She slowly turned around to be met with the bright blue eyes she missed so much.
"Hey Chlo" Beca breathed out.
"Hey, you still have that?" She asked again.
"Uh yeah, yeah I do." Beca answered nervously.
"Why?" Chloe asked.
"When I left, I couldn't believe I had to do this without you. So I took one of your hoodies, a picture of us and that necklace with me to make it almost seem as if you were there. Every night I slept in the hoodie after tracing the words on the necklace with my thumb while looking at the picture. Before every show I traced the words with my thumb. Almost every night I whispered to myself that it was always you Chlo, always you" Beca said looking deep into Chloe's eyes.
Chloe went to say something but was cut off by Beca's phone ringing.
"Yeah Mike?" Beca asked.
"It's here, I'll bring it to you in the morning if that's alright."
"Yeah that's fine, thanks dude." She said before hanging up.
They all headed into the living room and sat down.
"So Beca how was touring?" Emily asked.
"Fun but exhausting, also really lonely. After spending three years of my life with at least one of you weirdos with me, it's was really lonely without you all. Jesses great and I'm glad he came with me but he's not my awesome nerds I love so much" Beca said with a small smile.
"We love you too shorty, what was the craziest fan experience you had?" CR asked.
"A fan convinced the bodyguard she was my girlfriend, snuck on my tour bus and stayed in my room until we arrived. Once I told her to get out because that was an invasion of privacy she yelled 'Why won't you just love me!' Before I was able to say anything she grabbed the picture of me and Chloe and yelled 'Is it because of her?', before smashing the frame. Jesse and Mike had to hurry and get her off the bus because that was only two weeks after I left. I was still really sensitive about that picture and I really wanted to kill her not gonna lie." Beca said with a small laugh.

"Please tell me you got a different body guard after that?" Stacie asked.
"No we kept John, but we got a second guard so it wouldn't happen again" Beca explained.
"Why'd you bring Jesse with you in the first place?" Amy asked.
"Well I had managed to convince my team to let me bring someone along with me on tour. It was gonna be Chloe but after what happened I couldn't bring her anymore. Jesse had graduated early and didn't have anything to do so I asked him." Beca told them.
"Did you miss Red?" Stacie asked.
"Stacie!" Emily hissed.
"It's fine Em. Uh yeah, yeah I did. It's really hard going from spending everyday with a person you believed was your soulmate to nothing. It's hard being without the daily texts and calls, it's hard not hearing their voice. I really thought Chloe was my person, I had never fallen so hard in love with anyone before her, but I guess I was wrong" Beca said looking down at her hands before standing quickly.
"I need air" she said before grabbing her jacket and heading out the front door.
Chloe just sat there, staring off into space. She was thinking about everything. Everything Beca said, everything she felt towards Beca. She didn't even feel the tear running down her cheek.
"You okay Chlo?" Emily asked as she moved to sit by the redhead.
"I really messed up with her didn't I?" Chloe asked as she looked into Emily's eyes.
"You did, but I think the mess you made is fixable." Stacie spoke up from the other side of her.
"I've never heard her be so open with her emotions before. She never told me she thought I was her soulmate." Chloe said softly.
"Let's get your mind off of it okay? Let's watch a movie" Emily said getting up and heading over to their CD shelf.
"Yeah okay" Chloe said.
About half way through the movie Beca came back. She sat down next to Stacie and put her head on her shoulder, soon drifting off to sleep. Chloe looked across to see Beca asleep and silently wished Beca was asleep on her.
Soon the movie ended and Stacie woke Beca. As Beca began heading to the room Amy stopped her.
"You've got the room to yourself tonight mate. I've got myself a sexy date" Amy said with a wink.
"Have fun Ames" Beca told her with a small smile before heading up to bed.
She got ready for bed before slipping under the covers, soon drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
Around midnight Beca heard her door open. She lifted her head when she heard the sounds of sniffles. When she turned on her light she looked towards the door to see Chloe peaking her head in, her eyes red with tears.
"Chlo? You okay? What's wrong?" Beca asked sitting up more.
"I'm sorry that I woke you" Chloe said through sniffles.
"It's okay. What's wrong?" She asked again as Chloe came farther into the room.
Beca stood up and walked over to Chloe before pulling her into a hug where the redhead broke down in tears.
"Shh it's okay Chlo" Beca said as she rubbed her back.
She slowly lead the two over to the bed to sit down.
"Is it one of your nightmares?" Beca asked softly as she stroked Chloe's back.
When she felt her nod into her chest she looked down at the girl sadly. Chloe suffered from night terrors. Beca was one of the few people who could calm her down quickly. Beca began softly singing into her ear.
I will fight
I will fight for you
I always do until my heart
Is black and blue
And I will stay
I will stay with you
We'll make it to the other side
Like lovers do
I'll reach my hands out in the dark
And wait for yours to interlock
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
'Cause I'm not givin' up
I'm not givin' up, givin' up
No, not yet
Even when I'm down to my last breath
Even when they say there's nothin' left
So don't give up on
I'm not givin' up
I'm not givin' up, givin' up
No, not me
Even when nobody else believes
I'm not goin' down that easily
So don't give up on me
She stopped singing as she felt Chloe relax in her arms.
"Thank you" Chloe whispered.
"Happy to help" Beca said smiling down at her.
"I'll go back to my room now I guess" Chloe said as she removed herself from Beca and stood up.
"You could stay if you want. I know you have a hard time going back to sleep after a nightmare and I know human contact helps you feel safe so you'll fall asleep faster. I'm fine with you staying if you want" Beca offered.
"Don't you think it will be weird?" Chloe asked.
"Not really, I mean we were best friends before anything happened. We slept in the same bed many of times. It'll be just like those days" Beca said with a goofy smile.
"Well in that case I think I'd like to sleep with you if you don't mind" Chloe said quietly.
Beca just opened the covers and smiled softly. Chloe came over and jumped into the bed before snuggling up close to Beca. As Beca turned off the light, both girls thought in their head how much they missed this.
"Goodnight Chlo" Beca whispered.
"Night Bec" Chloe said before they both drifted off into peaceful sleep.
