Not so unexpected

19. Things change

The girls stayed in the cold bus in the middle of the car park, Christmas was coming soon so it was normal that it started to snow. They were bonding; no one was yelling or complaining, they were listening to each other.

Everyone finished talking; it was Aubrey's turn to talk to them about their set.

"We keep staying in second place girls. Don’t think I don’t like spending time with you all, I just think bonding won’t help us to win the ICCA this year."

"Or ever." CR muttered.

"Aca-scuse me?" Aubrey wasn’t going to let that slip. She wanted to know what did she mean.

"I mean the trebles never sing the same song and the crowd love them, y'know. Maybe we should try to change a bit." CR explained.

Stacie nodded her head; she was the first one to agree with CR, more heads started to nod.

"Then tell me how do you want to change the set, huh?" The blonde challenged her.

Beca hid her head in between her shoulders, avoiding everybody's eyes, but Aubrey saw how everybody's eyes landed on Beca.

"She isn’t the captain." Aubrey stated trying to make her point.

"So?" Lilly surprisingly said. "Her arrangement today saved our asses."

The fact that Lilly talked to defend Beca caused Aubrey to question herself, she wasn’t going to give the pitch pipe that easy.

"Okay." Aubrey said, Beca's head shot up, looking at Aubrey with wide eyes. "Only if..."

There she goes Beca thought going back to her position with her head on her hands. "She beats me right here and right now in a Riff off."

There were no way in hell Beca was going to win; Aubrey dared her to beat her because she knew Beca never sang in a Riff off. What chance did Beca have? Aubrey stood up, extending her hand to the shorter brunette. Beca grabbed it and stood up, following Aubrey out of the bus.

Stacie quickly ran behind Beca and explained the game fast.

Aubrey turned around, her green eyes meeting Beca's deep blue ones. "No category. You just use a song that works. I’m gonna let you start."

Somehow, Beca didn’t feel scared to sing in front of these girls she actually felt, confidence. She could feel a sense of comfort whenever she was with them. It was weird yet new for her.

"Give me a letter." Her mind was in blank.

"G?" Aubrey said.                    

"Hum, okay." She searched for a song that started with G. And she found it. It was old but started with G, worked for Beca.

"Guess it's true I'm not good at a one night stand But I still need love 'Cause I'm just a man. These nights never seem to go to plan."

Chloe couldn’t believe she actually forgot how beautiful Beca's voice was.

"I don't want you to leave Will you hold my hand? Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need this ain't love, it's clear to see But darling, stay with me Why am I so emotional? No, it's not a good look Need some self control and deep...-

Aubrey suddenly started singing, cutting Beca. Singing Rolling in the deep by Adele.

"deep You had my heart Inside of your hand But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door Count your blessings to find what you-"

This was getting intense; Aubrey never imagined that the brunette would cut her with a One direction song. Boy that was unexpected.

"you, I'm a loaded gun I can't contain this anymore I'm all yours, I've got no control, No control."

Was Chloe hallucinating? Did Beca actually glance at her while singing?

"Powerless and I don't care, it's obvious I just can't get enough of you The pedal's down, my eyes are closed No control -"

Aubrey was so not letting her win.

"control...

I paced around for hours, on empty I jumped at the slightest of sounds and I couldn't stand the person inside me I turned all the mirrors around

I'm bigger than my body I'm colder than this home I'm meaner than my demons I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me" I can't help this awful energy Goddamn right, you should be scared of me Who is in control?

I'm-"

That was it Beca thought, of course she knew Halsey, she mentally prepared herself and waited to the right moment.

"I'm running And I'm feeling like I gotta get away, get away, get away Better know that I don't and I won't ever stop 'Cause you know I gotta win every day day, day."

"Go!" The Bellas cheered from the bus' window.

"See they don't really wanna pop me Just know that you never flop me And I know that I can be a little cocky You ain't never gonna stop me Every time I come a nigga gotta set it, Then I gotta go, and then I gotta get it Then I gotta blow And then I gotta shudder any little thing that nigga think he be doing 'Cause it doesn't matter, 'cause I'm gonna dadadada Then I'm gonna murder every thing and anything a badaboom a badabing I gotta do a lot of things, to make it clearer to a couple niggas That I'm always winning and I gotta get it again, and again, and again And I be doing it to death and now I move a little foul A nigga better call a ref, and everybody knows my style And niggas know I'm the the best when it come to doing this

And I be banging on my chest, And I bang in the east, and I'm banging in the west And I come to give you more and I will never give you less You will hear it in the street or you can read it in the press Do you really wanna know what's next? Let's go See the way we on and we all up in the race and you know We gotta go, don't try to keep up with the pace We struggling and hustling and sending it and getting it And always gotta take it to another place Gotta taste it and I gotta grab it And I gotta cut all through his traffic Just to be at the top of the throne Better know I gotta have it, have it

Look at me now, look at me now Oh, I'm getting paper Look at me now Oh, look at me now Yeah, fresher than a motherfucker."

Beca needed air; she stopped rapping like a boss, looking at Aubrey with a smirk. Everyone had their jaws on the floor.

Aubrey was speechless, everyone was, the hobbit actually beat her and she lost. How did that happen?

"I guess we have a new set." Beca shrugged.

Aubrey felt a little excited? She was kind of looking forward seeing what Beca could do. "I guess we do." She said with a warm smile.

"The little s**t can rap, Holy fuck." CR said with a huge smile.

"Let’s go celebrate that Shorty is back with shots." Amy said, most of the girls yelled agreeing with Amy.

"Amy you're sick." Aubrey was trying to avoid going.

"True." Beca joined her, we all know how she is when she is drunk and Chloe was there, she wasn’t going.

Amy rolled her eyes "A cold won’t stop this sexy ass for partying."

"They're trying to not go, Amy. They are party poopers." Chloe said. The Bellas boo-ed Aubrey and Beca.

Chloe was one of the not so many people who realized how alike Aubrey and Beca were. She was trying to convince them like she always did with Aubrey. "I bet they can’t even take more that 2 shots in a row."

Beca shook her head in disbelief. "I aint playing your game-"

Aubrey stopped her by "placing" (more like smacking) her arm on Beca's. "I am so in her game."

All eyes were on Beca now; they were waiting for her to agree on going. "Whatever."

Amy dropped the Bellas in the school. "30 minutes to change your clothes, I’ll pick you up here." Amy said before leaving.

Everyone could feel that Beca wouldn’t show there in 30 minutes, they couldn’t let her do that.

Stacie intertwined her arm with Beca's, making her jump. "You're coming to my place; you're not getting out of this."

Beca rolled her eyes but didn’t complain, letting Stacie walked her to the car.

"I aint wearing something you bought at 'Sluts r us' "

They arrived at Stacie's house, they had less than 30 minutes now to get ready and Stacie was ready, wearing a black tight "casual" black dress and ready to murder her friend in less than 5 seconds.

"You won’t go wearing a hoodie and jeans, Becs." She crossed her arms above her chest. When Stacie did that, she knew Stacie would win. “Also, slut shaming much?”

“You’re right; I’m a disgrace for my gender.” Beca said, earning a playful slap on the face. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m wearing jeans, you can give me whatever you have in there."

Stacie squealed in excitement and started looking for clothes.

"Here" She said handing her a top that exposed her cleavage and belly, with the words 'no boyfriend, no problems'.

"seriously?" Beca asked, it didn’t look bad on her. "It’s winter. I’m gonna freeze my boobs."

"So?" she shrugged. "But..." She said getting closer to Beca. "You have to take advantage of this."

Without other word, she put Beca's boobs in place so the cleavage was more noticeable.

"Whoa thanks for touching my body, dude." Beca said slapping Stacie's hands.

"Like if I’ve never seen them." She said pointing to Beca's breasts, rolling her eyes. "Anyways how can such a small body like you have such big boobs?"

Beca rolled her eyes and looked at the clock, telling Stacie they should be with the Bellas.

They arrived and everyone was there, the bus was there as well.

"Get in here flat butts." Amy yelled. The girls got in the bus, Beca being the last one to get in. She sat alone behind Amy, who was the driver.

Beca heard something that somebody would hardly ever hear, Amy sighed and Amy never sighes.

"What's wrong?" Beca whispered.

"I have a cold and I’m probably the responsible driver..." The Aussie shrugged.

As you can tell, Amy never missed a drink, Beca could be the driver for that night, she wouldn’t have to drink so that would work for her.

"I can be the driver." Beca offered.

Amy turned to look at Beca with wide eyes and hugged her, leaving Beca with no air.

"AMY THE ROAD." Beca said breathless.

Amy returned to her spot, saving them from a crash. "My bad."
