Author’s Summary:This fic is set 7 months after the end of Pitch Perfect 3. Beca is in L.A. working for DJ Khaled. Chloe is still in New York waiting for the fall semester to start Vet school. Beca’s 25th birthday was coming up and the label is throwing a huge bash to celebrate Beca’s birthday and the release of her EP. And all the Bellas are coming to L.A.

Beca is excited which is a rarity these days. She had put together four songs that she was really proud of for her EP which the label was releasing on her birthday. They were planning a huge birthday/EP release party and, with Fat Amy’s newfound wealth footing the bill, all the Bellas were coming to L.A. for a long weekend.

“When does Chloe’s plane get in?” Beca asked Amy for what felt like the millionth time.

“About 4:30,” Amy says with a roll of her eyes. “I have a car scheduled to drive you to the airport to pick up Chloe and bring you both back here. That way you two can get reacquainted in the backseat if you know what I mean.”

“Ew, gross,” Beca muttered. “I can’t believe how nervous I am. I haven’t really seen any of the Bellas, except you, since I left France.”

“Are you sure you’re not just nervous about seeing one particular Bella?” Amy asked, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

“I’m beginning to regret telling you about our confessing our feelings to each other,” Beca said.

“Are you still planning to ask her about moving to LA to be with you?” Amy asked. “You have all the information for Vet schools in the area, too, right?”

“Yep. It’s all part of the plan,” Beca said with a big smile. Her smile falters a bit. “Do you think she still has feelings for me? I mean I know we kind of said we really liked each other in more than a best friend way and kissed. But we haven’t really had a chance to talk more about it. And she did kind of have that thing with Chicago when we were on the tour.”

“She said he was just a fling,” Amy said. “So you have nothing to worry about. I think you’re going to have the best birthday weekend ever.”

“Good,” Beca said. “I need to get to the studio. I should be back here a little after six with Chloe. If the Bellas get hungry, order Chinese or something and just get me and Chloe our usual order.”

“You got it,” Amy said as Beca headed out the door.

~ WHEN THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER COMES A-KNOCKIN’~

The day dragged by for Beca and she must have checked the clock a thousand times before Max, Fat Amy’s driver, texted to let her know he was waiting outside for her. She grabbed all her stuff, including the flowers she picked up at lunchtime for Chloe, and ran out her office door. She yelled to Theo that she’d see him tomorrow night and rushed out to meet Max.

They made it to the airport, and Beca jumped out of the car and ran into the terminal. She checked the arrivals screen and squealed a little when she saw that Chloe’s plane had already landed. She made her way to the baggage claim knowing that Chloe would have had to check her bags because the redhead did not pack light even if she was only going to be gone for a weekend.

The airport was busy and there were a lot of people. Beca weaved her way through the crowd towards baggage claim. The smile never left her face even with all the pushing and shoving she had to endure. She could see the baggage claim sign and suddenly there was a gap in the crowd. She stopped and couldn’t help but smile when she saw the redhead. Just twenty more feet and she’d be wrapped up in a famous Beale hug.

She hadn’t even taken a step when the smile dropped from her face and tears pricked her eyes. Chloe hadn’t come alone. A man walked up and put his arms around her shoulders. A man Beca recognized as the soldier that Chloe said was just a fling when they were on the USO Tour. Chloe brought Chicago with her.

Beca swallowed the lump that was in her throat and quickly turned and left the terminal. She found Max and told him that Chloe was at baggage claim and he should go find her. She showed him Chloe’s picture and walked away with her head down, fighting back the tears. She threw the flowers into the first trash bin she came to and grabbed a cab to take her to the studio.

~ WHEN THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER COMES A-KNOCKIN’~

Aubrey, Stacie, Jessica, Ashley, and Cynthia Rose were sitting in Beca’s living room talking with Fat Amy while they waited for Beca and Chloe.

“Beca said she was talking to her this weekend,” Fat Amy insisted as she talked to Aubrey.

“I can’t wait for those two to be together for real,” Stacie said. “Beca told me she confessed to Chloe while they were in France and Chloe said she felt the same. And that they shared a kiss.”

“Chloe told me the same,” Aubrey said with a smile.

“I thought Chloe was into that Chicago guy,” Ashley said.

“Chloe said he was just a fling,” Jessica said.

“Beca was so excited this morning,” Fat Amy said. “I’ve never seen her smile like that before. Bhloe is finally happening guys.”

“You mean BeChloe,” CR said, causing everyone to laugh.

It was the same ‘argument’ they always had with Fat Amy insisting Beca and Chloe’s ship name was Bhloe. Amy’s phone pinged with a message and she quickly read it.

“Hey, guys,” Amy said, causing them to all look at her. “Beca just texted that she was at the studio and not to wait up. She said to tell you all she’d see you tomorrow.”

“Nooo,” Stacie whined. “I wanted to have a Bellas night tonight and let loose. It won’t be the same without her.”

“Is Chloe with her?” Aubrey asked.

Fat Amy’s phone pinged again and she read the text. Her smile fell from her face and she looked a bit angry.

“Oh, no,” Fat Amy said. “Chloe, what the hell are you doing?”

“What’s wrong?” Aubrey asked.

“Looks like Bhloe isn’t happening,” Fat Amy said harshly. “According to Beca, Chloe AND Chicago should be here any minute.”

“What?!?!” five voices ask in unison.

Just then there was a knock on the door. Six heads whipped around to look at the door. No one moved until there was a second knock. Fat Amy looked sadly around at the other girls and plastered on a fake smile as she went to answer the door.

~ WHEN THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER COMES A-KNOCKIN’~

Beca sat alone in her studio just fiddling with the knobs and bars on the soundboard. The tears had stopped and now there was just a dull ache in her chest. Her head snapped up when there was a light knocking on the door. She wiped her face with her hands and went to see who it was. She was surprised to see Demi Lovato standing there with a smile on her face and a laptop bag over her shoulder.

“Lovato,” Beca said. “What are you doing here?”

“I was just working on my album when someone said you were up here,” Demi said. “Just thought I’d say hi.”

“Come on in,” Beca said and stepped aside.

“So, how are you?” Demi asked as she sat on the sofa lining the wall across from where Beca was sitting at the soundboard.

“Um, fine,” Beca muttered. “I’m good.”

“Beca,” Demi said. “I know we’ve only known each other for a few months, but I call bullshit. What’s wrong?”

Beca looked at Demi and couldn’t stop the tear that escaped and rolled down her face. She reached up to wipe it away but Demi was already kneeling in front of her, using the pad of her thumb to wipe away the tear.

“Hey,” Demi said softly. “Come sit with me and tell me what’s going on. I’m a really good listener.”

Beca nodded her head and let Demi lead her to the sofa. The two sat and Beca sniffled a bit and then spent the next half hour telling Demi all about Chloe. From their first meeting to the last time she spoke to her in France to seeing her at the airport with Chicago.

“So, Chloe brought this Chicago guy to L.A. with her without you knowing he was coming?” Demi asked.

“Yep,” Beca said softly.

“And Chloe is staying at your place for the weekend?” Demi asked.

Beca just nodded and wiped another tear away.

“Where is Chicago staying?” Demi asked.

“I don’t know,” Beca said. “I guess he’ll be staying with Chloe at my place.”

“And you’re jealous because he’s here with her?”

“Well, yeah,” Beca said. “She said he was just a fling and now she’s bringing him to a Bellas weekend reunion in honor of MY birthday. How else should I feel?”

“Maybe you should talk to her and find out why he’s here with her,” Demi said.

“I can’t stand in the way of her being happy,” Beca said. “Besides, he’s so much better for her than I am.”

~ WHEN THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER COMES A-KNOCKIN’~

Fat Amy opened the door to find a smiling Chloe. “Hey, Chloe.”

“That’s all the greeting I get?” Chloe asked as she grabbed Amy in a hug. “I’ve missed you.”

Fat Amy patted Chloe on the back. “Yeah, yeah,” Fat Amy said. “Missed you, too.”

Fat Amy pulled away from Chloe and walked back inside the apartment, leaving a confused Chloe standing at the door.

Chloe finally moved when Chicago came up behind her, carrying their luggage. She walked in and squealed again when she saw the other Bellas there.

“Oh, my God,” Chloe exclaimed, running over to the girls. “I didn’t know you all were going to be here tonight.”

She hugged Ashley, Jessica, CR, and Stacie. She saved Aubrey for last.

“Brey,” Chloe gushed. “I’ve missed you so much.”

“I’ve missed you, too, Chlo,” Aubrey said, returning the hug and pulling back.

Chloe looked around. “Where’s Beca?”

“Hey, girls,” Chicago said, joining the group. “It’s good to see you all again.”

Fat Amy picked up the luggage and started carrying it toward the stairs.

“Follow me,” Amy told Chicago.

“Wait,” Chicago said, taking both suitcases. “This one’s mine and can stay right here.”

He set the one suitcase down and looked at Amy. Fat Amy nodded and led the way upstairs with Chicago following behind her. Chloe watched them leave with a smile.

“Seriously, guys,” Chloe asked as she turned back to the girls. “Where’s Beca?”

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Stacie spits out at Chloe.

“Stacie, don’t,” Aubrey said.

“Does someone want to fill me in on what’s happening right now?” Chloe asked, looking around at everyone.

“We were just going to ask you the same thing,” CR said.

“What?” Chloe asked, confused.

“I’m beginning to think you failing Russian Lit for four years,” Ashley said with a bit of sadness, “is because you really are that dumb.”

“Excuse me?” Chloe asked, getting angry. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“Chloe,” Aubrey said, trying to be the voice of reason. “Why is Chicago with you?”

“Yeah, Chloe,” Stacie said, stepping toward the redhead. “Why is the guy you said was ‘just a fling’ in Beca’s apartment? You know, Beca the girl you told you loved, and then sealed it with a kiss. The girl who, right now, is hiding away from you, from all of us, because she saw you and him at the airport together.”

Chloe chuckled, realizing what the girls must be thinking.

“It’s not what you think,” Chloe said. “He’s been transferred back to the States and was coming to LA see his sister. We ran into each other at JFK when he was waiting for the same plane I was. He was hoping to see Beca while he was here, so I invited him to come with me from the airport. If I had known she was coming to the airport, he could have seen her there and then gone on to his sister’s house.”

“So, you two aren’t together?” Stacie asked.

“Nope,” Chloe said. “I want to be with Beca.”

Amy and Chicago came back downstairs. Amy was laughing at something and looked at the girls.

“Beca’s jealous for no reason,” Fat Amy said. “It’s just a coincidence that these two are here together. Chicago just explained everything.”

“We know,” Aubrey said. “Chicago, if you can you should stick around. I don’t think Beca will be too late. I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you, once she knows you’re not actually here for Chloe.”

~ WHEN THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER COMES A-KNOCKIN’~

Demi held Beca while she cried more. Beca finally sniffled and sat up.

“I’m sorry to be such a mess,” Beca said, grabbing some tissues and wiping her face.

“Don’t be sorry,” Demi said. “I don’t even know Chloe and I already hate her.”

Beca just chuckled. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they hated Chloe Beale.”

“Okay, maybe I don’t actually hate her,” Demi said. “But, I’m not very fond of her right now.”

The two singers sat in silence for a few minutes. Demi was the first to speak up.

“I’ve written this song and I think you should record it,” Demi said. “I think it fits you better.”

“You know what, I need a distraction,” Beca said. “Let’s hear it.”

Demi pulled a jump drive and her laptop out of her bag. She opened her laptop and plugged in the jump drive. She found the song she wanted and pressed play. Beca listened intently and started nodding. Beca stopped the music and looked at Demi.

“Do you have the lyrics written down?” Beca asked.

“Of course,” Demi said with a smile and pulled out the sheet music.

“Do you mind if I strip this down and remove your vocals?” Beca asked. “I’d like to give it a shot.”

“Go for it,” Demi said. “I love watching you work.”

~ WHEN THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER COMES A-KNOCKIN’~

A short while later, Beca came out of the recording booth.

“Thanks for letting me hear the song,” Beca said excitedly. “It sounds good but I don’t think it’s right for me.”

“You sounded great on it,” Demi said. “How do you feel about the lyrics?”

“Everything was perfect,” Beca said with a smile. “The lyrics, the music. It just all comes together really well.”

“Yeah,” Demi said. “It is really good.”

“I agree,” Beca said. “And, it’s going to be a hit. For you.”

Beca sat back with a sad smile and looked over Demi.

“Come on, mopey,” Demi said. “We’re going out.”

“I don’t want to go out,” Beca whined.

“I didn’t ask,” Demi said and dragged Beca out of the studio and down to her car.

Demi told her driver they were going to Lure Nightclub. When they arrived, the valet opened the door for the two women and Demi grabbed Beca’s hand to lead her into the club. The paparazzi were out in full force and got plenty of pictures of the two holding hands as Demi dragged Beca into the club.

Beca and Demi got drunk and stumbled out of the club around 2:00 am. Demi took Beca to her place so she didn’t have to deal with Chloe and Chicago at hers. Both girls crashed as soon as they got to Demi’s bedroom.

~ WHEN THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER COMES A-KNOCKIN’~

It was a little after ten the next morning when Demi and Beca were awakened by the ringing of both their phones. Each girl fumbled around until they found their phones.

“Hello,” Beca mumbled.

“Beca, where the hell are you?” Fat Amy yelled.

“Stop yelling,” Beca said, sitting up and holding her head. She looked and saw that Demi had left the room. “What’s going on?”

“Where are you?” Fat Amy asked. “There’s some serious shit going down at your apartment. You might want to get over here.”

“What kind of shit?” Beca asked, still unfocused.

“The Bellas all showed up here around 9:00 this morning,” Fat Amy said. “They’ve been going on and on about how you and Demi Lovato are a thing.”

“What?” Beca asked. “Why would they think that?”

“Google your name,” Fat Amy said. “You’ll see why. And, we also have one pissed-off and angry ginger that looks like she’s ready to kill somebody.”

“What is she so pissed off about?” Beca asked fully awake and pissed off now. “She’s with Captain America. It’s none of her fucking business who I’m with.”

“Come on, Beca,” Fat Amy said pleadingly. “It’s not like that. Just come home. Please?”

“I’ll be there soon,” Beca said with a sigh and ended the call.

She looked down at her phone and noticed she had a bunch of texts from most of the Bellas, several of them from Chloe. She decided to ignore them for now and crawled out of bed to search for Demi. She found her standing in front of her TV with the phone to her ear.

“We’re friends who went out and got drunk together,” Demi said into the phone. “That’s all.”

Beca looked at the TV and her eyes got wide. TMZ had a video of the two of them inside Lureand they were dancing and hanging all over each other.

“Oh, shit,” Beca mumbled.

Demi looked at her and smiled a genuine smile as she ended her call. “My publicist,” Demi explained. “Apparently, we are the couple to watch now.”

“Shit, Demi,” Beca said, running her hand through her hair. “I’m sorry about this.”

“Don’t be,” Demi said. “I’m not. It’s good publicity. Plus, you’re hot. I could do worse.”

“Gee, thanks,” Beca said. “Way to boost a girl’s ego, Lovato.”

“Shut it, Mitchell,” Demi said with a laugh. “You know if you weren’t in love with Chloe you’d be all over this.”

“I need to go home,” Beca said, blushing. “Fat Amy called and apparently all the Bellas are there and Chloe’s having a fit.”

“Let me come with you,” Demi said, her eyes bright with mischief. “Maybe you’ll find out exactly where you stand with Chloe if you show up with me. I’ll just tell them nothing happened.”

“Sure, why not? What could possibly go wrong?” Beca asked sarcastically.

~ WHEN THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER COMES A-KNOCKIN’~

Demi and Beca made it to Beca’s apartment around 1:00 pm to find the Bellas sitting around Beca’s living room. As soon as Beca walked in Amy ran over and grabbed her in a hug.

“I was worried about you, shorty,” Amy said before letting Beca go.

“Yeah, well, as you can see, I’m fine,” Beca said.

“Where the hell have you been?” Chloe yelled at Beca. “We’ve been worried sick about you.”

Beca looked at Chloe and frowned.

“I don’t answer to you,” Beca snarked. “You’re not my girlfriend.”

Chloe’s mouth dropped open in shock at Beca’s anger toward her.

“Why are you acting like this?” Chloe asked. “Are you and Demi a thing now? So, you’ve forgotten everything you said to me in France.”

“Demi and I are not a thing,” Beca said. “Why is Chicago with you anyway?”

“He came out to visit his sister,” Chloe said. “He wanted to see you to congratulate you. But since you didn’t come home last night, he left.”

“Yeah, right,” Beca scoffed.

“Beca,” Aubrey said. “Maybe you should hear Chloe out before you say something you’ll regret. Why don’t you two go upstairs and talk.”

Beca and Chloe stood glaring at each other. Chloe was the first to fold.

“Can we talk?” Chloe asked. “Please?”

“Sure,” Beca said and headed for the stairs.

~ WHEN THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER COMES A-KNOCKIN’~

“So, are you replacing me with Demi Lovato?” Chloe asked as soon as Beca closed her bedroom door.

“What? No,” Beca responded. “Are you really not with Chicago?”

“I don’t want Chicago,” Chloe said. “I only want you.”

“I only want you, too,” Beca said.

Chloe smiled and stared at Beca.

“So, uh, what happens now?” Beca asked.

“I’m going to kiss you,” Chloe said, stepping toward Beca.

“Who’s stopping you?” Beca asked.

Chloe didn’t say anything, she just grabbed Beca by the front of her shirt and pulled her into a kiss.

Beca moaned into the kiss and grabbed Chloe around the waist, pulling her closer and deepening the kiss.

~ WHEN THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER COMES A-KNOCKIN’~

“It’s kind of quiet up there,” Ashley said. “Do you think we should check on them?”

“Let’s leave them alone for a bit,” Jessica said. “I’m not sure I want to walk into whatever is happening right now.”

“That’s probably for the best,” Fat Amy said with a knowing smile. “I’m pretty sure BeChloe is happening.”

“I agree,” Aubrey said.

“We’ll have to put a stop to whatever is happening soon,” Stacie said. “Beca will need to get ready for her party.”

“Maybe we should go to the hotel and get ready ourselves,” CR suggested. “Hopefully, they’ll be done making up by the time we come back.”

“That’s an excellent idea,” Emily said. “I’ll text Beca and let her know.”

“I’ll text Chloe, too,” Aubrey said.

“Yes, yes!” They suddenly hear Beca scream, followed by an “Oh, my God!” from Chloe.

The girls looked at each other and made a mad dash toward the door. Emily pulled the door open as Jessica, Ashley, CR, and Flo, practically fell over each other trying to get out.

Stacie smirked as she looked up toward Beca’s room.

“Let’s go, Stacie,” Aubrey said, grabbing Stacie’s arm and dragging her toward the door.

“Wait for us,” Fat Amy yelled as she and Demi ran out after them.
