Tumblr media
Me and the other Bellas were all waiting backstage to perform. We were all thrilled to have finally made it to the finals and be able to perform at The Lincoln Center. At that time it was 2011 and the Treblemakers were near the end of their song.
Multiple times I had noticed Bumper, their lead singer, making eye contact with me on the more sexual lyrics. It was odd but I brushed it off not thinking too much of it. Even if he did mean it in such a way, I could never give in. I was a Barden Bella! No matter how much any of us wanted to, we could never hook up with a Treblemaker or we were booted from the group.
“Finally they’re finished! Ugh!” Aubrey exclamed. She was right hand to our lead, Alice. Everyone was pretty sure she was going to take the reins after Alice graduated.
The Treblemakers were walking offstage giving us a nasty look. “You guys are going to do awesome…”. Bumper being nice? No shot. “…ly horrible! I hate you! Kill yourself! Girl power! Sisters before misters!” Aaaand there it was. Nobody could exactly tell why the Bellas and Treblemakers had such a deep rivalry, but after all these years both groups despised eachother.
As I’m walking on stage trying to find my position, I can see Chloe trying to calm down Aubrey. I wasn’t sure why since Aubrey was never nervous for anything. Not shortly after we started, she threw up all over the first 5 rows. That’s it. We had lost all respect from absolutely anyone. Loosing the finals due to a stomach bug sucks but its even worse when Bumper and his friends gloat their win. “Clean up in aisle 5, amirite guys!” I think I understand why the Bellas always hated them now.
Even though all that was last school year, it was still the talk of the campus. Nobody took us seriously and whenever we were seen in public we got nasty stares from other peers.
Aubrey and Chloe tried to get more girls to sign up for auditions at ‘Club Fair’. Long story short, nobody blinked an eye at our booth. After about 15 minutes I decided to go take a break from running the booth to walk around only to see Bumper and his gaggle of nerds singing in the courtyard. Of couse they were singing “Let It Whip”, why wouldn’t they be!
As much as I hate them I have to admit, they’ve got some of the best vocals ive ever heard. ‘Might as well watch them’, I thought. No harm no foul, right?
Suddenly Bumper locked eyes with me. Just like during finals. Maybe it was just an odd coincidence and I was overthinking. But if it was, why couldn’t either of us break eye contact. What the hell was happening and why couldn’t I stop it?
After they finished singing, I sheepishly sped walked away. I had no idea what had just occurred and I didn’t wanna start anything. There was absolutely no way I was going to let myself fall for a Treblemaker. Specifically Bumper of all people.
“Hey! Hey, y/n! Wait up!”
No way in hell was I going to turn back and face the man who had me in eyelock.
“Y/n, I know you can hear m-“
Benji cut him off with his shrieks of excitement. Thank god for that weirdo otherwise I would’ve been caught by Chloe who was right around the corner.
“Y/n there you are! I was so concerned when you just left abruptly.”
“Oh crap, sorry Chlo. I just needed to take a quick break”
Chloe quickly took my arm and dragged me back to our booth. I was greeted with a very angry Aubrey, and at that point I knew I was going to get a lecture about ‘maintaining my aca-duties’ or some crap. She’s been on some sort of power trip since she took over the Bellas.
“Aca-scuse me but where the hell have you been!? I have had to run this booth for the past 15 minutes and I am completely taken back by your carelessness.”
“Aubrey, I’m sorry” I replied “I just needed to take a short break. Plus 15 minutes isn’t even that lo-“
“Not that long?! You need to shape up immediately if you want to stay apart of this group.” She cut me off.
She treated me and Chloe like trash. Like we were inferior to her as if she wasn’t the one who made us lose our Finals. I didn’t want to get kicked from the only thing I knew as home, so I said my apologies and continued running the booth.
I guess I missed something cause when I looked at the sign up sheet there was almost 10 names. That might not sound like a whole bunch but in acappella it was practically perfect.
during auditions
Audition day was possibly one of my favorite things, besides competition. Getting to hear all the potential talent is so thrilling.
“Hey Bellas, remember how you tried to play in the big leagues and choked? Let that be a lesson to everybody. Sing the same girlie stuff every year, you’ll blow chunks all over the place.” Bumper and the rest of the boys snickered
God I hated them. He talks such a big game for no reason. I chose to ignore his silly antics and pretend I never heard him but Aubrey on the other hand stood up in anger.
“My fellow aca-people. As most of you know, it is a make or break year for the Bella ladies. But make no mistake. We will not let egotistical, big-headed, garbage pricks, WHOEVER they may be, get in our way. I promise you. The Bellas will return to the ICCA’s and finish what we started last year.”
Rightfully so she called them out! Everyones jaws dropped and laughed a bit at the Treblemakers. Holy crap, she embarrassed them!
“Personally, I wouldn’t take that level of disrespect” someone called out.
“Alright let’s calm down now! First up..” Tommy began introducing the auditioners. And, uh, most of them sounded like garbage. I knew that was what most of the groups were thinking too. Hopefully, we can pick out the few girls and get them to join us.
after auditions
Chloe, Aubrey, and I began talking about who we should choose. After figuring out who we wanted in our group we were dismissed back to our rehearsal area. There was a lot of arguing between groups on who they wanted. Aubrey immediately took charge and planned out who we were getting.
While all of this chaos ensued, I could practically feel Bumpers eyes burning into my back. It was as if he couldn’t help but stare at us.
“Bumper? Are you even listening?” Donald said trying to regain his attention.
Even though seeing him out of the corner of my eye made me ponder, hearing Donald say that confirmed those thoughts. He was starring at me! But why? Why has he decided to be fixated on the group he hates the most? More specifically me. It was making me overthink all of our encounters completely.
‘Maybe it was nothing and he was drifting off into space’ I kept thinking to myself.
Finally, we got our girls and took them back to the gymnasium to reveal they got into THE Barden Bellas! I was so excited to meet and bond with these ladies since it was a whole new group.
Nothing but partying and singing all through the night. A chorus/theatre kids’ paradise.
inductions
Once back in the gymnasium had got all these gorgeous girls into our group, Aubrey had to make them say the oath.
“Promise to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a Bella woman. Neither sickness, nor midterms, nor my lady times will prevent me from her-monizing with my sisters. And I solemnly promise never to have sexual relations with a Treblemaker or may my vocal chords be ripped out by wolves.” She recited
The new girls looked frightened by that last line but hey, at least she got the point across? As soon as we inducted the newfound Bella ladies we booked it to the party!
outside/party
Holy crap, there was more people than I remember. Everyone was either drinking, singing, or screaming. There was practically no in between. It was almost kind of annoying. But that didn’t get in the way of me having a good time.
I was talking to Becca and ‘Fat Amy’ about getting into the Bellas and what happens at these kinds of things. Whilst chatting I hear Chloe call me over.
“Y/n! Wanna come with me to grab drinks? This ginger needs her jiggle-juice!” Chloe giggles
“Sure! I’ll be right over” I shoot her a smile
Walking down the narrow steps I catch a glimpse of Bumper and Donald, drinks in hand, talking about god knows what. Unlike me, Fat Amy goes over to talk to them but thats not a me problem so I decided to keep walking and catch up with Chloe.
“So, can you actually believe we got girls to join the Bellas! This is so exciting oh my god!” Chloe squeals. Her energy goes up by 10 when shes drunk.
“Yea! We actually did it.” I say as I continue sipping on my drink
Chloee grabs my shoulder, cleary not sober but I’m sure she means it “I. Love. You. You are literally my best friend Y/n” Making kissy faces at me.
I hug her and tell her im going back up to sit. Probably not the best idea on my part considering he was up there. Yet I hand Chloe off to Stacie and Aubrey who take her dancing.
‘Geez, It was chilly out here.’ I thought to myself. I completely forgot to grab a jacket before leaving.
“Oh great..” I said under my breath seeing Bumper walking towards my direction.
“This seat taken?” He said with a smug face
Obviously it wasn’t so I couldn’t just say no. He would see I was clearly lying to get him to leave. I mean I did want him to leave but I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. Feelings?! Why would I care about his feelings, I hate him! Ugh he makes me crazy.
“Youuu.. good?” he asked
“Oh! Uh.. yea. You can sit here, I guess” I told him nervously
He totally knew what he was doing! He was doing it on purpose, no doubt about it! Right..?
“Sooo, I saw you guys got a bunch of girls to join your little tea par-“
“What do you want, Bumper.” I said cutting him off.
Did he really come over to piss me off? What a jerk! I knew I should’ve just shunned him when I had the chance. God I am an idiot.
“Im sorry. I don’t really know how to talk to you. Y’know.. being a Bella and all.”
Talk to me? Because I’m a Bella? I thought he despised Bellas. Is the universe breaking? I can’t tell if he was being genuine right now.
“Oh really?” I said slyly “Because I’m a Bella?”
“Well yea. I mean we hate you guys!” he cleared his throat “But you.. you’re just different to talk to.”
I should’ve shut this whole thing down. What if Aubrey saw me! I hadn’t even thought of that. He is ruining my life!
I stood up “Wow it sure is cold! I better go” I told him, laughing nervously trying to walk down the steps. Almost falling because of how steep they were, he catches me. Trying to hold my balance.
I gasp, accidentally grabbing him to pull myself back up.
They only thing I could think of during this moment was ‘WHAT THE HELL.’
Bumper helps me back up and sits me down. Neither of us say a word. At this point my mind has gone blank, just grateful I didnt break my tailbone falling on the concrete steps.
“Are you alright? Here” He gives me his Treblemaker varsity jacket.
“Oh, nono! Its alright!” I try to tell him so I don’t get caught with it on.
“No, I insist. You’re shivering” He reassured me.
Was this really happening?! It felt straight out of those cheesy rom-coms Chloe adored. Maybe he was just trying to get into my pants. Which was NOT happening. Well… NO! What has gotten into me!
“Thanks..” I say as our knees touch.
We were back in that stupid eyelock! I guess I never looked hard enough, but his eyes were this dark brown with sparks of a lighter brown. I could feel us getting closer and my cheeks getting brighter but immediately shut it down. Only because I could see Aubrey in the corner of my eye coming this way.
“I have a feeling that we should.. kiss. Now, is that a… good feeling or..?” He said clearly tipsy.
There was no way he would say that sober. Aubrey was heading this way quickly, I had to shoot him down fast.
“Y’know, sometimes I think I can do crystal meth and then I think.. hmm better not.”
I had to make my leave now before I got caught.
“I gotta go. You know how Aubrey is. Thank you, again, for the catching.. and the jacket..” I say awkwardly, getting up
He shoots me a smirk “Of course”
Drink in hand, I go the opposite direction of where Aubrey was. Trying to get back to the center was harder than I thought, especially actively hiding from your friend.
Finally I get down there without being caught by Aubrey, or any of the Bellas for that matter. Such a fun night.
day after
Time to get to work and start getting a plan together to win nationals. Except Aubrey already had a whole whiteboard dedicated to what we were going to do to win the finals. Sheesh, she was putting a lot of pressure on these newbies.
“As you can see, Kori is not here. Last night, she was Treble-boned. She’s been dis-invited from the Bellas.” Aubrey said firmly.
“Woah that oath was serious?” Becca raised.
“Dixie-Chick serious.” shooting back at Becca.
‘What a good way to scare our new girls’ I said softly under my breath.
After a few more stern comments about hooking up with a Treble and even kicking out another girl for it, she showed us how to get the ‘aca-win’.
^rehearsal/cardio montage^
Aubrey pulls me off to the side before we left rehearsals. I completely forgotten I still had Bumpers jacket on!
“What does the ‘T’ on your jacket stand for, Y/n?” Aubrey asked in a knowning tone of voice
Crap! She definitely knew. This was it, this was the day I was getting booted from the Bellas. I knew I had to think of an answer just in case she didn’t know.
“Oh! It’s for ‘Taylor’!” I stated trying to play it off. “As in Taylor Swift. Why do you ask?”
“No reason..” She trailed off and ended with a smile.
‘God that was a close one’ I thought to myself. I need to give this jacket back before anything else happens..
riff off
Tommy announces it was ‘riff-off time’. My personal favorite of the night! After teaching the new Bellas how these work we were ready.
With my whole situation, I was beyond nervous to even look at any of the Treblemakers. It wasn’t their fault I was squeamish, but I still didnt wanna see them. It didn’t help Bumper winked at me before Tommy gave us our categories.
“Ladies of the 80s!” He shouted and the groups took it from there.
^riff-off^
Of course Tommy screws us over and lets the Trebles win. Why wouldn’t he?!
Now they think they have an advantage over us and begin to gloat.
“OHHHHH you ladies just got owned!” They all yelled.
I shake it off and the rest of the Bellas walk away in disbelief. Me on the other hand was fixated on Bumper who was walking right towards me, trophy in hand.
“You did good” he smirks “But we are just sooo much better than you girls” he jokingly brags.
I wanted to smack the grin off his face so bad. But instead I shot him a sarcastic smile and walked away.
regionals
After a few more months pass and we hope all our practicing pays off. The only thing Aubrey cared about was showing up the Treblemakers.
The ‘Sock-apellas’ had finished their set and it was time for us to get on stage. While walking onto stage I could hear the Treblemakers boo-ing us. It also didn’t help that the crowd was not as excited as I had hoped they’d be. No worries, no pressure though. Right? We can’t do any worse than people using socks to sing.
^after our set^
Of course people fell silent during our set for the millionth time. If it wasn’t for Fat Amy, the crowd would’ve been dead asleep. So howcome Aubrey was already yelling at her? Shes was such a perfectionist.
Luckily, we got second and could move on from regionals! Everyone in our group was celebrating except for Aubrey. She was more relieved to even had made it.
day of semi-finals
After a month of two of rehearsals, it was finally semi-finals time! I was so excited.
Before leaving, Fat Amy stopped to get gas. It was a long trip ahead of us so it was a good time to stop.
Little did any of us know, the Treblemakers were not far behind after we stopped.
“IVE JUST BEEN SHOT” Fat Amy yelled.
Immediately I ran out to see what had happened. She told us Bumper and Donald had threw their burritos at her for ‘sabotage’.
Great! Theyre trying to ruin our chances even more. I help Fat Amy get back in the bus and we keep on trucking through to get to Semi-Finals.
back on the bus
Everyone sings, “So I put my hands up! They’re playin’ my song and the butterflies fly awayy.”
Suddenly the bus broke down. Oh god this could not be good.
“We could call-“
“DON’T say it.” Aubrey says, cutting off Chloe.
“No, that’s actually a good idea! I have Bumpers number. I’ll call him now” I told them.
“Why do you have Bumpers number?” Aubrey shot me a look.
“Uhhh..” I kept thinking ‘Crap. Just ignore her and call Bumper to save us.’
in treblemaker bus
“Well this is fun..” Fat Amy said sarcastically.
I was next to Bumper, of course, and we all sat in silence.
Geez, this was awkward. It didn’t help that Bumper was practically invadeding my space. Our legs were pressed against eachother, arms toppled on top of themselves, and if i even turned my head to look at him we would be nose to nose.
This made my heart race. But obviously I couldn’t give into my urges, not with Aubrey continuously looking at me weird.
“9 miles till we’re there” Donald shouted from the driver seat.
I cannot believe we all sat in silence for the whole bus ride.
semi-finals
Getting off the bus, we got back into our groups and went inside. Me and Bumper were in the back of the line, together.
“Soo.. what girl power fueled set do you ladies have for us this evening” He asked in a snarky tone.
“Wow!” I exclaimed “You must really not want me to keep talking to you, huh” giving him a condescending smile.
He laughed it off. Gosh, he was too cute to hate. I mean yes, I hated him for being a jerk and a Treblemaker but you had to admit he had some sort of sex-appeal.
“Good luck tonight. I mean it” he looks down and tries to hide his bright red face. Jesse calls him over to stage right to prepare to get on stage. Chloe calls me over aswell.
Once on stage, we started singing the same song that gets the crowd yawning. Out of absolutely nowhere though, Becca starts mashing ‘Bulletproof’ into the set.
It took everyone by shock but definitely got the attention of the judges! Thank god Becca took such a risk. Maybe she should’ve asked before hand but nonetheless the audience was loving it.
Almost immediately we went backstage, Aubrey started yelling at Becca for her little stunt. I decided I was not going to be apart of this drama and went to go sit somewhere backstage.
spring break
After Semi-Finals, Aubrey basically kicked Becca from the group. Not fair whatsoever but it wasn’t like my opinion even mattered to her. Aubrey wouldn’t listen to any of us after we lost her championship.
With the Bellas being done for, I decided to take this time to do.. uh.
Crap! I completely forgot those girls were my only friends. And the only other person in my contacts was… Bumper.
Well that was enough for me. I took this as a chance to shoot my shot with him since Aubrey wasnt around to control my love life.
Texting Bumper: Hey! I was wondering if you wanted to hang out over break :)
‘Aaaand send! That wasn’t so hard, now was it!’ I told myself.
Almost immediately I got a response.
Text from Bumper: Yea sure. I’d love to
I couldn’t believe this! I was actually going to hang out with Bumper one on one. And I didn’t even have to worry about Aubrey coming to yell at me! Maybe the Bellas taking a break wasn’t so bad.
FINALLY BRO
I see Bumper in the distance walking over to me. I’m still in shock he wanted to go on this date with me, considering he’s still doing Treble stuff.
“Hey!” He smiles “I see you still have my jacket” he teased.
I completely forgot this was his jacket! I started taking it off to give back to him and he stopped me.
“Nono! It looks good on you. You can keep it, I don’t mind” looking at me in awe.
“Anyway! Are you ready to go on possibly the best date of your life?” He gloated.
“So confident!” I tease him.
We walk hand in hand into the park and set up our picnic. This was kinda romantic actually! I’ve known Bumper for about 2, almost 3 years now and I never saw a good side to him. There’s always been some rivalry between us due to the groups own rivalry.
Even during last years run with the Bellas, I was attracted to him. But the hatred definitely took over. Hes never been the nicest but I feel as if it was all an act to show dominance. Aubrey and Alice did the same so I can’t exactly call him out for it. Jeez there’s so much history.
“Here we go!” He said as he finished setting up the picnic.
We talked about nonsense, teased eachother a bit, talked about how we found our way into acapella. Y’Know, normal date stuff.
“I don’t know why we never talked to eachother before this year! You’re so funny” I told him, with a giant smile on my face. I could feel my cheeks burning up.
“I know why.” “Hm?” “The whole rivalry bullcrap! It’s so dumb, I don’t know why both groups keep giving into it. I know i dont help but it’s always been some unspoken argument” Bumper said with some anger in his voice.
“I know, it’s not fun. Especially when Aubrey gets on my back when I talk to any other group.” I told him slightly getting upset aswell.
There was a pause. A good minute of neither of us saying a word. We were too sour to say anything. We knew we agreed but didn’t want to talk about it.
“Well..” He sighed “I’m glad we’re here.. together… now” grabbing my hand.
I looked down to hide my smile, eventually facing back up to see him smiling back at me.
I was head over heels for him at this point. Even though I was upset we lost championship, I was so happy I could finally spend time with Bumper.
Before we decided to pack everything up and part ways, he asked me if I wanted to watch the sunset with him. I turned bright pink just at that question. Obviously say yes, he put his arm over my shoulder bringing me in close.
All I could think was ‘This was it! This was the moment I had been waiting for! He was going to do it!’
While watching the sun go down, I could see Bumper looking at me from the corner of my eye.
Turning to look at him I asked “Why aren’t you watching the sunset?”
He replied “I’d rather take in something even more beautiful” shooting me a smile.
My heart practically fluttered as I immediately leaned into him. I can’t believe this is happening! I was kissing a Treblemaker! This went against almost everything I was taught by Alice and Aubrey but in that moment, I couldn’t care less. I was in love with Bumper.
We both pull back and take a short breath. You could tell he was also in awe of what just happened. Nonetheless I went back in for another kiss. Except this kiss turned into a tiny make out session.
“Wait.. hold on” he paused with heavy breathing “Would you rather go somewhere that isn’t a public park?”
Still panting “Yea that’s probably a good idea” I giggled.
He cleaned up everything and drove me back to my dorm. Shortly after we arrived, he walked me back to my room. Of course I invited him in, I mean why wouldn’t I?! All I wanted was to make sure we finished what we started out in that park.
IM NOT GOOD AT WRITING SMUT SO IM GONNA END THIS SCENE HERE LOLLLL
I woke up the next morning, completely forgetting what had happened last night.
‘Oh my god’ I accidentally murmured.
He was still in my bed! I was stuck in this state of shock. I did the right thing and got dressed in a big t-shirt and a pair of short-shorts, looking back at him sound asleep in my cheap bed.
After a short period, he finally woke up. I was reading a coffee table magazine while I waited for him. The way he looked at me gave me butterflies.
He yawned “Mmm… Good morning beautiful” looking up at me, smiling.
‘God his morning voice is attractive’ I thought to myself.
“Oh hello!” sending him a smile back. I put down my magazine and got into a more comfortable position.
He then latched onto me, still tired. God, he was so cute.
“I don’t wanna leave” he murmured into my chest.
“Well, we could sleep in?” I suggested while playing with his hair.
I scooted down to make it easier for him to cuddle me. We laid in my bed for a good couple of hours. I knew eventually I had to let him leave.
He felt me moving to get up and slowly awakened.
“I better start getting ready to head out. I have to go do boring acapella rehearsal stuff.” he told me.
“God you’re so lucky. I would do anything to be with the Bellas again.” I sighed, helping him retrieve his stuff.
He walked out my dorm room but before leaving he turned back, almost nervously.
“I was because I was thinking that maybe, perhaps” he takes a breath. “this is harder than I thought it was gonna be” he sighed.
“What is it?” I asked.
“I wanna date you. That's what I want. Like, a real couple. Where we, like, go out in public and hold hands and ride bikes together. Or we go to an orchid and pick apples. Or we, like, do one of those Build-A-Bear workshops together, and build bears. And you'd name one Bumper, and I'll name one Y/n. It’ll be cute.”
Oh. My. God. I couldn’t even say anything. I was too stunned. Not in bad way! I’ve just never been asked anything so.. romantic. He has swept me off my feet completely.
“What do you say?” He asked me in a softer tone.
The only words I could get out were “Yes. Yes please, oh my god.”
I saw his cheeks turn a light red before acknowledging that we were finally together.
“I guess I’ll see you soon, then” he teased.
I pulled him in for one last kiss before sending him back to the Treblemakers ‘HQ’.
coming back + fighting
It was a day before spring break would officially end. I was getting ready to finish up the rest of my studies when suddenly I got a call Chloe.
“Y/N! The aca-gods have blessed up! We get to compete in the finals!” She told me ecstatically.
My jaw dropped and I joined her squealing immediately. We were back baby!
Soon enough I got to hang out with my girls and talk about gameplan. Realizing quickly that Becca wasnt here.
“I didn’t invite Becca. She doesn’t make us any better” Aubrey said in a smug voice.
Chloe and Becca were incredibly close so it was no wonder Chloe got upset at Aubrey so quickly.
They were yelling back and forth and caused a huge scene that got everyone in a very uncomfortable mood.
Fat Amy came to break the tension and told them to stop and shut up.
I accidentally shouted “Finally! Someone said it!” and Aubrey almost went to come fight me. The only reason she didn’t was because the stomach bug came back.
She stopped in her tracks and threw up just like she did at last years finals.
Perfect! We come back and almost immediately started fighting with eachother. I decided to get up and walk out.
To my surprise, I walked right into Becca. I thought maybe she would help calm down the argument, so I walked back to my seat to watch it all play out.
As soon as she walked in it went dead silent. Almost scary how quiet it got.
Becca stood there fiddling with her fingers “I came back to apologize messing up our chances and leaving. I would be grateful if you could have me back?”
Aubrey just looked at her in silence. Was she really going to let go of the only person who knows how we can win? Was she that much a power hungry freak?
Without anybody saying a word Becca picked up a chair and dragged it to the exit. After a few seconds, Aubrey yelled for Becca to stop.
“Thank you. That would’ve been so embarrassing.” She laughed nervously.
After Becca and Aubrey talked it out, Becca said none of really knew anything about eachother.
“Let’s go around the room. Everyone say something about yourself that no one knows.” She told us.
Everybody started spilling their secrets, and it was then my turn. I didn’t have any secrets, except for the fact I was Treble-Boned. But I wasn’t going to admit that, I could be shunned.
“Well..?” Chloe said trying to get my attention.
I took a deep breath. “I… I started dating Bumper.” I couldn’t help but look down in shame. I didn’t want to tell them but I felt as if they deserved to know.
Nobody said anything, which made this whole thing even scarier for me. I was waiting for Aubrey to scold me but she never did.
“Oh.. well..! I’m glad you’re happy!” Chloe said giving me a soft smiling. She was my best friend so she could definitely tell I was embarrassed admitting that.
Aubrey looked disappointed but then again, she always does. Why should I even care about her opinion? It wasn’t like she was going to be around after this year.
After a short moment of silence, Aubrey gave the pitch pipe to Becca.
“How are we doing this?” Aubrey said almost desperate for her to take the lead.
“Follow me” Becca said then leading us to the abandoned pool.
^pool mashup^
call from bumper
It was the day of finals and I was so excited to see the Treblemakers set and not want to punch them.
While getting ready, Bumper called me. Maybe he was calling to tell me good luck. How sweet of him.
“Hey! What’s up Bumper?”
“Hey..” He said in a low tone.
“What’s wrong?”
At this point, I was kinda worried. Why did he sound so disappointed? What was going on.
“So.. I got a call from THE John Mayor, asking to be backup vocals on his new album. Which means I won’t be at finals tonight” Bumper told me slowly.
“Oh.. That’s! Uhm.. That’s great, love. I’m sooo.. happy for you!” I tried to show excitement for him but I just couldn’t.
The one time I wanted him to see our set, he couldn’t be there. I was glad he was making it big time but it still hurt.
“Yea! I’m sorry though. I’m sure you’ll do great tonight. I’ve won that stuff a million times so I’m rooting for the Bellas” He said in a more uplifting tone.
“Thanks. I gotta go get ready to leave. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
He could tell I was disappointed. It was obvious. “Alright! Uh.. Love you! Good luck.”
I could practically hear him smiling. He meant it, but I just wish he would’ve told me in person. It doesn’t matter anyway.
I continued getting ready and tried to brush off the news. We going to win whether Bumper saw it or not.
finals
Once we got down this whole mashup thing Becca taught us, we knew we were ready to finally win the finals.
She should’ve taken charge a long time ago! Im glad Aubrey loosened the reins though. It was a lot less stressful with her not being in charge.
__
backstage + onstage
The Treblemakers were about to go onstage and I could only think about Bumper. He was probably living it up in LA not even thinking about me.
Crap, he might leave me for some hot super model! Who knows what he could be doing right now. Thinking about it only made me sad.
“Good luck Benji! Same to you Jesse!” I told the boys. I decided since things were changing, I would also end the whole rivalry crap.
While I was watching the boys perform, Chloe hugged me from behind.
“We are going to do awsome! C’mon we’re about to do hands in the middle!” She was beyond excited for this.
“I know some you are pretty thin, but you all have fat hearts. And thats what matters” Fat Amy said before we went on stage.
It was finally time. ‘My god, it’s packed’ is the only thing I could think.
While getting into position, I scanned the crowd. ‘Wait.. Is that..?’ My heart dropped.
I couldn’t believe it. Bumper?! No way. He actually came to watch me perform! But wasn’t he supposed to leave for LA tonight?!
My heart was racing. He postponed his flight to come see us win. He cared about me that much that he would risk losing his one shot at fame to see me happy. I could feel my face start burning up. I loved him so much.
^singing blah blah blah^
Holy crap! A standing ovation! We had this win, no doubt. As soon as our set had ended and the crowd sat back down, I knew exactly where I was going.
Running off stage, I practically jumped into Bumpers arms. Hugging him tightly, I started tearing up.
We had just won the championship and I have an amazing boyfriend?! I couldn’t believe my life.
“Congrats, sweetheart!” He slyly smirked at me, knowing he surprised me.
I couldn’t get myself to let go of him. I was too happy to realize I still needed to ask him why the hell he was even here!
I pull back, putting my hands on his shoulders. “Wait! What..! How..? Why are you here?!”
My confused look made him laugh. “I knew how upset you were when I told you the news. I couldn’t bring myself to just leave without saying goodbye in person.”
“God, you’re such a dork, I love you” I told him, pulling him in for a kiss.
He was perfect. I wasn’t even upset he had to leave for LA for a month or two. I knew he wouldn’t cheat on me for anybody while being in a big city.
He was mine. He loved me, nobody could change that.

Six months later, and we’re back in the audition room. Wanting to flaunt our trophy on the Treblemakers, we placed it on our table. Everybody in that room knew not to underestimate us.
“Listen up aca-ballers” Tommy said, starting the auditions “As a tribute to our most recent ICCA national champions, their team leaders will pick the audition song. Bellas?”
I take the lead, “Let’s go with…”
