I groaned as a I slide down the side of the door, working as an intern and keeping that a secret from my Bellas is killing me, my boss is a jackass who can't help but be an asshole every chance he gets, I can't talk to the Bellas about it because if Chloe ever found out that I was focusing on something other than worlds she would kill me. Today my boss told me that I had nothing to say with my mash-up, that's basically music speak for I suck and should give up. Not only do I have the whole internship and worlds to worry about I also have to worry about the crush I have developed on Legacy. I wish I could do what she does, how she can be so creative and write lyrics and actually have a voice.
"Hey Becs are you okay?" Stacie asked seeing me leaning against the door, Stacie is the only Bella who knows the full story.
"You might not be able to hear me because it turns out I have nothing to say, umm, that's music industry speak for I suck." I grumbled, trying not to show too much emotion.
"It's not just that is it?" She asked sitting down in front of me.
"I hate myself for having this stupid crush on Legacy, I can't get her out of my head. And Chloe is going to kill me when she find outs that I haven't been focusing all of my energy on the Bellas and the Worlds."
"Okay Shorty, I can tell you're tired right now because you're starting to ramble and over thinking everything, so you're going to go right to bed, you've been at the internship all day."
"But…"
"No buts, bed Beca Mitchells, I'll make sure that none of the Bella's disturbed you, Fat Amy can sleep in my room tonight and I'll sleep in her bed." Stacie helped me up off the floor and hugged me tightly.
"Thanks Stace." I hugged her back, before running upstairs.
I opened my bedroom door and went to dive into my bed only to stop when I saw another person snuggled up in it. I snuck closer and pulled the blanket down a little, it was Legacy I laughed and decided that I would just let her stay there, whatever reason that she there had to extremely good otherwise she would have stayed in the her room with Stacie
I walked over to my desk and sat down, I pulled my Laptop, song book out and grabbed a pen. Now that I had nothing to say, I need to write one song to prove that I have something original to say, I tapped the pen against the book waiting for something inspirational to float into my head to write about. I look at the sunset shining through the curtains and landing on Legacy's beautiful sleeping face, I can't help but to smile.
"I can tell you're staring at me you know." She smiled as she opened her eyes.
I swung my chair around and pretend to be looking at my note book.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"I think you do." She laughed, I heard her roll over to face towards me so I turned around to face her.
"So what were you doing in my bed?"
"You realise how dirty minded that sound right?" Her cheeks turned almost as red as Chloe's hair.
"Whatever, the question still stands."
"Stacie was being overly loud and I couldn't sleep so I came in here thinking you wouldn't mind."
"I don't, just a little shocked and curious to find you in here." I couldn't blame her for not being able to sleep when Stacie was in one of her moods, she can be rather verbal.
"Its fine, do you want me to leave?"
"No its fine, I need to get a few things done so just go back to sleep."
She shrugged her shoulders and rolled over, I turned back around and focused on my notebook. I growled down at it as no lyrics came to mind.
"Alright what's wrong, clearly something is eating at you?" I jumped slightly having not heard Legacy move.
"I thought u went back to sleep."
"I tried to but you can't stop tapping that pen." She reached over and grabbed the pen out of my hand mid tap.
"It's nothing, just some stuff I have to do."
"What kind of stuff?" She propped herself up onto the desk.
"Just stuff I have to do, don't worry its nothing."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive." I took my pen back.
"I'm gonna go grab some food, you want anything?"
"Coffee would be great, please?" I smiled, starting to tap my pen again, she tried to grab it but I spun the chair and tapped it against the arm.
"Give me that pen."
"I'm not letting you have it."
"You so sure about that?" She grinned I nodded, pulled the neck of my shirt forward and dropped the pen into my bra and then crossed my arms.
"Yeah, yeah I am sure." I held a cocky grin on my face which quickly disappeared when I was tackled of the chair onto the floor, my hands were pinned above my head before I could even register what was happening.
"AHH Rape!" I screamed as Emily and I wrestled on the ground. I heard thundering footsteps and my bed room door slam open.
"Oh hi." Legacy stoped us from wrestling and grinning at the Stacie.
"Um, I wondered where Emily had gotten and what is happening?" Stacie asked, her eyes were trained on me with a knowing smirk.
"Beca here wouldn't give me the pen."
"And the pen is in her bra?" It was only then did I realise that her hand was actually on the rim of my shirt, I pushed her away and stood up. Stacie's smile only grew bigger.
"Yeah I had put it down there before she tackled me."
"And why did she tackle you."
"Because she wouldn't give me the pen."
"Why did you want the pen?"
"Because she was tapping it."
"Why did that annoy you?"
"I wanted to sleep but I couldn't because she was tapping the pen."
"Okay give me the pen." Stacie held her hand towards me, I grumbled and handed her the pen out of my bra. She then put in her pants pocket.
"This is not fair! I need that and it's not my fault Legacy tackled me."
"Deal with it Beca."
"Whatever, I'm tired so im gonna go back to sleep." Stacie nodded and left.
Emily jumped onto my bed and snuggled in.
"You're not going to leave are you?"
"Nope, I'm comfy."
"I wanna sleep though."
"You can sleep while I'm here, I promise I won't bite." I sighed giving up and got into the bed, I turned my back towards her and tried to stay as far away as possible. The bed dipped and Legacy wrapped her arms around my mid-section, to say I wasn't uncomfortable with the invasion of personal space would be a lie but to say I wasn't enjoying it would also be a lie, seeing as the only people I actually allow to hug me is Chloe, Stacie and now Legacy.
"Much." My body stiffened as I felt her warm breath on the back of my neck, she started to chuckle and she moved back but didn't let me out of her grasp.
"You are so easy to get to." She chuckled.
"Whatever." I blushed slightly before close my eyes and tried to go to sleep.
A warm body was underneath half of me, light fingers were running throw my hair, I smiled and snuggled closet.
"Good morning." My eyes shot open.
"How did you sleep?" I moved back to my side of the bed and sat up.
"How long was I like that?"
"Only an hour, and before you start to apologising I didn't mind."
"But…"
"No buts its fine, I was the one who spooned you first."
"True." I playfully glared at her.
"Oh did you know you talk in your sleep." I could feel my face paling.
"What did you hear?"
"You were yelling at Stacie and the Jesse for teasing you about having a crush on a hot Belle. You know you could have told me you had a crush on Chloe, I could help get you two together!" She poked my side, something in her eyes was off there was no brightness.
"I don't have a crush on Chloe."
"Hey you don't have to worry I won't tell her." Her eyes still looked off, almost as if she was sad but trying to hide it.
"You won't tell her because I don't have a crush on her."
"You don't have to hide it, I mean I would have a crush on her to, she is pretty fricking hot…" I didn't let her finished. I pushed forward and kissed her very quickly and very lightly, when I pulled back her face was frozen in shock.
"Sorry." I shouted jumping of the bed and flying to the other side of the room, I clamped my hand over my mouth in horror. What had I just done? I had just kissed Legacy on the lips, in a not so friend way.
"Bec?" Emily looked up from her shock and looked at me. I shook my head and slowly slid down the wall, curling into myself. What the fuck had I done? Why the fuck did I do that? Now she knows and I can't take it back and she's gonna leave the Bellas and then we'll lose the worlds because we need her for one for the sets and it all my fault for not being able to hold my shit together.
"Beca?" She tried again and I just shook my head and tried to hide myself in my knees. I heard the bed creak and footsteps slowly walking closer, I pulled my knees closer to my chest trying to hide even further.
"Beca Mitchells, stop hiding." A soft hand touched my arm.
"I'm sorry." I whispered tightening my hold on my legs.
"Why are you sorry?"
"Because I kissed you, I shouldn't have done that because now I have ruined everything, your going to leave the Bellas."
"Says who?"
"I do!"
"Does my opinion not matter then?" Something in her voice made my head shoot up to stare at her.
"Of course it does! Your opinion especially matters."
"Then shouldn't you get my opinion before you blame yourself for ruining something that involves me?" My head slowly bops up and down while I looked at her confused.
"So assuming I read that kiss correctly, I am the hot Bella you have a crush on?" Another nod.
"Okay, so is me finding out such a bad thing? Wouldn't it be a good thing that I know?"
"How is it a good thing? Tell me how you finding out I have a crush on you if a good thing?" I sucked in a shaky breath trying to prevent myself from crying.
"Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe I might feel the same way?"
"Pfft, yeah right." The soft hand on my arm tighten and pulled my arms apart, I struggled to stop her but she eventually won the struggle, what with her being taller than me, pinning my knees and hands to the floor by sitting on me and holding my hands.
"Legacy what are…?" Soft lips cut me off and for a moment I was frozen, I looked at the girl in front of me whose eyes slipped close, before I could think I was kissing her back.
"Still sorry?" She whispered as she pulled away, I shook my head.
"Good, now can I be go back to bed I'm still tired because someone woke me up with all of her yelling." I chuckled sheepishly and she got of me and offered me her hand, I allowed her to pull me up and into another kiss, despite my size I picked her up and carried her to the bed before crashing us into it. I laid on top of her and snuggled into her chest.
"For someone who is against displays of affection you really are cuddly."
"If you tell anyone that I won't kiss you for three months." A small pout appeared on her face.
"But it's just so cute when you get cuddly." I grumbled and head my face against her stomach as she pulled the both of us up so she was resting her back against the head rest. She then started to lightly run her fingers through my hair.
"So you wanna tell me what was making you so frustrated?" I stiffened slightly before relaxing into her touch.
"Well I have kind of been interning at this recording studio and my boss listened to my demos then told me that I don't have anything original to say because I do mash up."
"Why haven't you told the Bellas about this Internship? You know they would all be so proud and excited for you?"
"Stacie knows, and I haven't told the others because I mean you know Chloe she has been freaking out about worlds that she would kick my ass for focusing on something other than the Bellas and the worlds."
"You need to tell them soon or it will make matters worse."
"Mmmm too tired." I snuggled closer.
"You're such a cutie." I grumbled and poked her side.
"Hey no, don't do that." Something clicked in my head and I started grinning and ran my fingers up her side.
"Eek, no don't tickle me."
"Oh my god you're ticklish?" I grinned and started to tickle her.
"No….Stop…. Beca!" I grinned and continued to tickle her until she flipped us and pinned my arm above my head again.
"We have a habit of ending up in this position." She leaned down and kissed my cheek before letting going of my arms and snuggling into me, we at totally switched positions.
"Mmm I like this position better." She nuzzled my neck.
"Mhm." I nodded slightly before the tiredness of the day caught up to me.
"Night sleepyhead." I heard Emily chuckle before I fully drifted of.
"GET UP SHORT-STACK!" My eyes snapped open and I almost jumped out of my skin only to have soft weight prevent me from doing so. I looked down to see Legacy snuggled tightly against my side and half laying on top of me.
"What's Legacy doing in your bed snuggled up to you?" I looked at Fat Amy as she walked over to bed.
"Umm…"
"Lesbihonest, you and I both know you've had a thing for her since you guys met." Fat Amy sat down and I gestured for her to be quiet as Legacy shifted slightly.
"She had a nightmare and couldn't sleep." I said, I mean it wasn't a total lie she couldn't sleep.
"It must have been that story I had told her about the Dingo stealing some woman's baby. She left it in a tent in the middle of the Australian desert and the Dingo got into the tent and ran away with it. Though some people say it was the mother." Fat Amy said telling on for her crazy Australian stories.
"Must have been, she was really shaken. I let her sit with me and calmed her down and then we must have fallen asleep talking."
"Alright well Chloe has said that we need to be on the bus for that performance in an hour so get your skinning asses out of bed."
"Oh and how is that internship thing you sneak off to going?"
"Um what?" I tried like I didn't know what she was talking about."
"Come on Beca, you know that thing we do every month there I take $20 out of your purse and you pretend not to notice, I saw your ID badge in your bag, don't be mad."
"Im not mad… about the badge, the money I want to come back to."
Honestly don't know how Emily slept through Amy and I's conversation about my internship and money before Amy left to take a shower.
"Emily." I whispered into her ear.
"I'm awake Beca, I woke up when Fat Amy told you to get up." Something in her voice sound of.
"Legacy what's wrong?"
"Why did you lie? Why didn't you tell Fat Amy about us?" I sighed understanding why she was upset and kissed her forehead.
"I wanted to talk to you about us before we told the Bellas, I wanted to make sure that you really wanted this before we made it official."
"Okay then, Beca Mitchells will you please be my girlfriend?" She lifted her head and rest it on my chest looking at me.
"Ummm…" I pretended to think about it before a smirk broke out and she poked my stomach.
"Yes I'll be your girlfriend Emily." I leant forwards and kissed her forehead lightly.
"Hey can we not tell the Bella's yet, or just let them figure it out by themselves because I just don't feel comfortable telling."
"Okay but they will find out eventually."
"Yeah I know, I just want to see where this goes first before we tell them. Now come on we got to be on that bus in an hour or Chloe will roast my ass."
"No one roast you as but me." Her hand snuck under me and lightly grabbed it.
"Hey!"
"That for a class?"" I asked trying to release some tension in the bus after that huge aca-fail, I watched as Emily scribbled words onto a note pad. The face she was pulling was extremely cute that I couldn't help but let my leg move slightly to press against hers.
"No it's just when I get stressed words just flow out right out of me, I try and channel them into my song writing a…" Chloe's voice cut her off.
"Are we just going to ignore what happened back there? Guys, hello, the worlds are just around the corner and you guys are acting like we didn't just eat a big bag of AHHHH!" Chloe blew up, I wasn't looking at her though as I tried to see what Emily was writing but the Legacy only shyly smiled and pulled the notepad and closed it, I gave her a small pout before Cythera Rose spoke up.
"Why you yelling at me! I almost burnt to death because of you Aca-bitches."
"If you almost died it was because you were standing in the wrong the wrong spot."
"No, Flo flipped into me!"
"Sure blame the minority." Held my head and groaned, ever since the riff-off the arguing between the Bellas has gotten ten times worse.
"I'm Black, gay and a woman." CR respond and I couldn't help but smirk a little.
"I'm not point the finger at anybody… it was Legacy's fault." Fat Amy point her finger at Emily, I felt her physically stiffen.
"Me? But I…" Chloe interrupted her again, I let my hand fall to my side and grab hers. I felt something knock my foot and looked up at Stacie who was giving me a knowing smile, I glared slightly telling her not to say anything.
"Obviously we're not going to beat DSM at their game, so we need a new plan, like now." Chloe stood up and held onto the bar on the roof of the bus.
"At times like these there is only one thing we can do."
"Fake your own death and flee the county?" Flo asked, Emily slightly stiffened more and I gave her hand a small squeeze, telling her to relax.
"Close, we're going on a retreat." I groaned slightly and leant back in my seat and closed my eyes.
