A/N: This is my first Staubrey fic. I've been wanting to write one for them and here it is. I said that this will take a while but it turned out that I finished it first instead of the fics I wrote before this one. ha! I still don't know if it's going to be a one shot or a multi-chapter fic. And it's up to you to think of what's the reason behind this.

The deafening silence filled the room. It was a bright and warm day but she felt coldness that sent shivers through her spine. She can't look at her and her misty eyes filled with tears are staring down at her own hands, fingers fumbling. She tried to hold her hand but the other girl took it away. This sent great pain to her chest, making her breathing heavy. She tried to keep herself from sobbing as she began to speak.

"P-please say something… Talk to me." She looked at the blonde beside her, staring straight ahead at the wall, her face showing no emotion at all. She didn't speak and didn't even move. The brunette's eyes are pleading but the blonde didn't even dare to look at her. She waited for her to speak.

"For how long?" Aubrey spoke, still not moving. This broke the brunette's heart more. She doesn't want this to happen.

"T-Three months. It's been three months." She noticed the blonde's body tensed but her face is still blank. This is scaring Stacie. She didn't want it to be like this. She never thought that Aubrey would react this way. She thought of the worse but witnessing this, it's no difference from what she expected. She doesn't know what runs in her girlfriend's mind and it scares her a lot. She wants to know but she doesn't have the guts to ask.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The blonde's voice was cold as ice and her face seems hard as stone, jaws clenched and her eyes glossy. Stacie can't think properly. She tried to speak but no words came out. She didn't know how to tell her. She wanted to explain but her mind and voice failed her. She can't find the right words. Nothing is even right at that moment for her. She was helpless.

When the brunette didn't answer, Aubrey stood up and walked towards the door. When she was about to turn the knob, she felt weight on her body, leaving her unable to move. She tensed.

Stacie hugged Aubrey, stopping her from leaving. She hugged her like her life depends on it. She buried her face at Aubrey's shoulder, near her neck, making the blonde tense more. She could hear Stacie sniffling and felt her shirt was getting wet.

"Aubrey, p-please don't leave me. Don't walk away from me. I-I know it's hard for you but please, give me a chance. I'll tell you e-everything! Just please, don't leave me here. I don't want you away from me. I love you…so much. Please…stay…"

The brunette pleaded and clanged at Aubrey. Stacie was sobbing, her throat was getting dry and her voice was hoarse. Her eyes are swelling up and her knees are getting weak. But she had a strong hold onto Aubrey's body, not letting her go.

The blonde felt pain on her arms due to Stacie's firm hold but it was incomparable to the pain she felt inside. Her chest was heavy, feeling stabbed and beaten up. But hearing the brunette helplessly begging her to stay broke her heart. Her eyes started to sting and tears came flowing down continuously. Never in her life did she ever want to hear her cry or witness her breakdown in front of her. Yes, Aubrey was hurt about the truth that she heard from her girlfriend. But seeing her in this kind of state was tearing her apart. Stacie is more important to her than her own feelings.

She sighed heavily and tried to move, her body slightly trembling. When Stacie felt Aubrey's movement, the urge to hold her more tightly was there but she was becoming weak. The blonde noticed that the hold on her was loosened a bit. She turned around to look at Stacie. Her heart sank when she saw her love's face. She lifted her chin and they looked at each other's eyes. They didn't speak a word and just let their eyes speak through each other's hearts. Aubrey cupped the brunette's face, looked at her dearly and smiled.

Stacie knew what this meant and she felt great joy. She smiled and pulled the older Bella for a hug again, feeling relieved that she stayed. Aubrey hugged back and none of them spoke. They stood there, hugging each other and feeling each other's heartbeat. They set aside their worries and savoured the moment, for they knew that they will be facing challenges together.
