It Never Is Simple

Chapter Twelve

"Come on, midget, this party is gonna be awesome." Stacie nudged the grumpy brunette, the taller girl tried everything to get Beca out of her dorm since their little conversation about love. Beca however seemed to always suddenly have plans with another 'friend' and would always kick Stacie out of her dorm giving her the Kimmy Jin style death glare. But Stacie knew Beca too well, she didn't have any close friends she'd actually hang out with other than the Bellas, Jesse, and maybe Benji. She knew Beca was trying to avoid this new information, the badass is afraid that the bond her and Chloe shared would be ruined because of this newly discovered feeling. Stacie knew they needed to talk this out. So she went on and planned a trebles-bellas bonding party with Aubrey, which Aubrey made it absolutely clear that all members of the Bellas should participate, or may their vocal cords be ripped out by something more terrifying than wolves. There's totally no need for a bonding party at this time of the year, so they basically threw this party to have two of their favourite girls reunite and confront each other.

"I thought we were getting coffee, you lied to me Stacie," Beca groaned at the overly excited brunette in front of her. All she wanted to do tonight was having a cup of black coffee, and finish a mix she's been working on for the past few days. Yet now she's standing helplessly in front of a huge house, with music blasting, people partying. This night is going to be awful.

"Come on Beca, Aubrey's orders, we ALL have to be there, so quit whining, and get your cute ass to that door." Stacie winked at Beca playfully only to earn another groan from Beca.

"Fine, but you're paying for my coffee tomorrow." the frustrated brunette gave in and mumbled. Stacie squealed joyfully and dragged the grumpy DJ into the house.

"Umm Bree, why exactly did you throw this party?" Chloe questioned her best friend, it's not that she disliked parties, it's just that the timing of this party is straight out weird. A Posen always does things with a purpose, and Chloe could not figure out the exact 'purpose' of this party.

"As two groups who are dedicated to the acapella world, I find it extremely important to understand each other, that way, we could know how to stop them from penetrating us." Aubrey replied matter as factly.

Chloe made a face and replied annoyingly, "Bree that doesn't even make sense. Other acapella groups are here as well, is this like an open invite party? And are you seriously still sticking to this penetrating thing?"

"Always," Aubrey replied seriously and sipped the alcohol in her red cup. "Here, go have a drink," Aubrey gave Chloe a yellow plastic cup and waved her off.

"Why is this yellow,"Chloe muttered to herself and dragged her body to the beverage table, since she's already at this party she should make the best use of it.

Chloe took a sip of her new filled drink, and took in her surroundings. She saw a lot of familiar faces from the acapella groups on campus. the high notes were all gathered in the corner, and well.. being high. The Bellas were certainly enjoying themselves. Lily was adding different beverages together with a wide and creepy grin on her face, Stacie was, well, on her hunter mode, she was winking at everyone flirtatiously, she probably wanted to get some tonight, Chloe has never seen her so eager. Jessica and Cynthia were dancing to the music, and are obviously having a lot of fun. Ashley, to be honest Chloe couldn't care less, she hasn't seen the girl yet, and not to be ruthless, she was kind of relieved. Chloe's eyes roamed through the crowd but soon landed on the one person that always takes her breath away, Beca... The brunette was standing on the balcony, away from all the drunken college students, clearly wanting an alone time, and didn't want to be seen. But Chloe always sees her, it's like an automatic thing, locating Beca is always priority. Maybe this is what love is like, it's a force that brings two people together, to have them see only each other in their eyes. It's funny how long it took Chloe to find out the feelings she has for Beca, it takes one second to fall in love, but to realise the feelings you have, may take days, weeks, years, or even an eternity. Love is not simple, no one understands it, it's like, the closest thing people have to magic.
