Today is Aubrey's birthday. Chloe feels guilty to leave early in the morning without wishing a birthday to her girlfriend. So she decide to get home early and preparing the dinner while wearing the best dress that Aubrey love her to wear. She pack a bag for Aubrey and one for her, so after the dinner, she will take them to the lodge that she rent for a weekend. Surprise dinner and make up sex was on the agenda.
She knows they need a lot of things to talk, a lot of time to catch up that waste lately for fight and silent treatment to each other. But today Chloe planning on put her ego down and make the first step to make their relationship better.
After finishing the packing, set the bag near the living room, pull the meal from the oven and set it on the table. Chloe take a sit in the corner of her living room, she was nervous, walk back to the dining room and lit up the candle on the dinner table, but when she heard a stranger car stop in front of the house. And sounds of giggling filled the patio. Chloe blew the candle and walk in hurry to stand in the dark corner of their living room.
Keys jiggled on the door, after the sounds of struggling keys outside, Aubrey come inside but she is not alone. The strong hand secured her waist from behind. Chloe's jaw tighten, she close her mouth with her palm. She saw Aubrey turn her head and kissing the man behind. The door barely close when they kissing. The man used his leg to kick the door close. Both of them move to the stairs and Chloe can clearly get a view they ripping the clothes each other between kissing passionately.
Chloe can't hold the sobs any longer. She grabbed the bag, that supposed to be their baggage to their trip, and now the bag packing like it is the goodbye. Chloe took her purse and open the door, close it with hard slam. Make the couple stop and realize what just happen. Aubrey fixed her clothes in a flash, and put her jacket on, and run outside. To find Chloe put the bag on the trunk and enter the car in hurry.
"Baby, please… Let me explain," the blonde women running beside the car. The driver window rolled down with a teary Chloe.
"Maybe this is the answer… the best way to solve our problem." the red hair women jaw tighten, her eyes clearly seen flood by the tears. And with that she rolled up the window and drove the car.
The blonde women fall down on the grey concrete in front of their house. House, the one they shared since the college. Yes college. So it's been 8 years they lived together.
They fall in love since high school. The blonde women, was raise by the millionaire parent. They don't care when their daughter, Aubrey Claire Posen was come out and tell them about the possibility she fall in love with her classmate.
On the other side, Chloe Grace Beale was born from a conservative Christian family. Her parents, was a famous doctor in local hospital. When she came out, her family getting crazy and said to her that they don't want to have a disgrace on their family. And abandon her. Lucky for her, her grandparents support her condition and saving a grand fund to keep her on the track.
Young love and lack of social intercourse make them easy to get jealous each other and easy to argued for the simple things. They sure love each other but, sometimes not easy to just love each other. They need another side of life to be grown up perfectly.
They both have a different dream. Aubrey have obsession to become a famous lawyer in New York. And Chloe, chasing the chance work as intern in famous teaching hospital in Seattle.
Since both of them finish the college. Now they are facing the problem like a child. They choose to avoid the sore topic. But they know one day it will became the ice mountain between them. Meet in the morning and never have a chance to sit together in the night, either Chloe or Aubrey spending the night in their friend place.
In their work place, Chloe start internship in her hospital university while waiting the invitation from Seattle and Aubrey start her early internship in local law firm as a letter collector, both of them was approach by another love interest. Aubrey was follow by Jesse Swanson, the man who falls head over heels to her since college. And he a kind of person who did not accepting a NO word. So he will do anything to make Aubrey as his girlfriend. Chloe was the one who maybe can handle the man that have a love struck on her. Tom Harrelson, Chloe met him in the last medical conference, and the man keep communicate everyday through text. Chloe successfully avoiding, sometimes she didn't reply the text. Chloe know the limitation because she realized it will harm her relationship with Aubrey.
Chloe drive the car with tears, sobbing out of control, repeatedly she hit the driving wheel. Angry with herself, and keep questioned why and why.
Chloe doesn't have someone to lend a shoulder to cry. She is alone.
Chloe choose to drive to the hotel far away from the town. Stay in a low cost hotel to avoid Aubrey looking around. She knows, Aubrey know how Chloe is so freaked about cleaning issue. So Chloe wouldn't choose the low cost hotel especially old motel. And now she will choose the reverse idea. At least until she gathered more strength to drive out of town.
Meanwhile, in Aubrey and Chloe house.
"You should go…," say Aubrey without looking at Jesse
"Oh come on, let her be." Jesse tried to touch Aubrey's shoulder
Aubrey walks in hurry to get inside the house, she need to get away from Jesse. She feels guilty. She needed to find Chloe. Jesse trying to catch her step and follow inside. But Aubrey closed the front door right in front of his face.
"What the hell Aubrey… You deserve better than with that dyke," yelled Jesse banging on the door
The door swing open and in a second hard slap landed on Jesse's left cheek. Fiery and teary eyes filled Aubrey face, getting red with rage.
"You don't have any right to call her that. I love her… and stay away from me. Whatever happen was a drunk and you take advantage of me while I'm in the vulnerable condition," Aubrey stand tiff and her finger pointed to Jesse chest, "You are nothing and start now you are not my friend,"
Aubrey slammed the door again. She locked it. No longer have strength to do anything, she slump her body to the near wall and sobbing.
She is so screwed.
Somewhere in Canada
Tall brunette and her girlfriend, pacing back and forth in the hospital hallway. Chinese women sit quietly in the hard chair while mumbling something.
"I will give you the permission if something happen with Beca," Stacie clenched her fist
CR stop her pace and staring to Stacie eyes, "Don't…,"
Lily mumbling between, "He didn't deserve to life," or "He need to die,"
"Oh I definitely agree with you," laugh Stacie sarcastic
"Stop both of you…," CR raise her voice. Doctor walkout from the OR and walk to their way. In an instant, three of them in hurry to get closer
Doctor looks sad and gathered more strength to tell the truth,
"Rebecca family?" and Stacie raise her hand.
"We are not her blood family but she only have us for the last 10years sir, she lost her mother in early age," Stacie explain, "and we are on her emergency contact, please tell us doctor,"
"We already try our best. But the damage is heavy. Yes your friend alive…but…," the cheering stop, after the doctor say but, "her left leg was crush and we try to save it, but if we're not amputate, she don't have a chance to live. Also she lost one of her kidney by the stabbing wound. And couple of permanent scars in her body that we can't fix,"
And the sobbing sound filled the room
"If you want, I can send her to the best hospital and they have a good plastic and orthopedic doctor. We will consult with them to handle the case. But of course, depend on the agreement from the family. And meanwhile she will send to the ICU until she woke up," doctor sympathetic and hold Stacie hand, "We wait until tomorrow, if she can pass the critical moment, she will be ok,"
"Thank you doctor Andrews. I know you are the best in here," CR shook doctor hand and hold Stacie on her chest.
"And which one of you will talk to the police with me, regarding the condition," asking to the three of them.
"I will," CR answered and let Lily hold Stacie. She knows Stacie won't be strong enough to handle when she heard the detail of what happen with Beca. "Stay here with Lily, baby. I will be back soon,"
With that CR left the two of them, Stacie mind drifting to the first day she met Beca. How the small brunette, so fragile even she covered it with snarky and bitch attitude. She can't imagine what will happen after this incident. Beca will more depress than before. Lily nudged her arm slowly, and handed the phone and mouthing "Luke".
Stacie put the phone on her ear, her voice shaking. "Luke,"
~"I heard already from Lily, I'm on my way piglet. This time don't try to stop me."~
Stacie look toward Lily, Lily shook her head to assure, with the heavy breath, "You got my word,"
~"Done… I will call Mom and Dad,"~
And the line cut off. Stacie closed her eyes. She knows this is out of controlled. But move is the only way to give a new life for Beca.
Stacie mind drifting to the moment she met Beca.
Stacie and Beca met in elementary school, since they were young.
The little alt girl is annoying in the beginning, but Stacie getting fond by how Beca faced the life, how she keep trying to fight for her life. Even she is born with a special package. And people around her always bashing and put her like she is not worth it to live in this world. Even her own father, call her an evil daughter. What kind of people who call their family an evil.
Her father and step mother family can be called as an evil one. They hit and tortured Beca. The brunette women never fight back. Because in her head, they put a word that she deserve it. Many times they said that Beca's mother was died because cannot stand with her physical condition. But the truth is her mother was died because her husband was neglectful, post op Beca's mother was experience the massive pain and Beca's father insisting to bring her home. Eventually it was an internal bleeding. And she died in her bed the day after she got home.
Stacie and her brother Luke, protecting Beca from her abusive family. Even Stacie family already took Beca as their own children. Stacie and Beca a clever in their class, skip the third grade and last week they just graduate from high school. Stacie family planned to give Beca a chance to continue her college out from Toronto. And yesterday, Beca was come home to pack her bag.
But Beca drunken father, already wait for her in her room, with evil step sister and step mother. Of course her step sister is same ages with Beca and she left behind in academic score. She feels jealous and pouring all the bad word to her father. Even more, that day Stacie parents come and ask a permission to take Beca with Stacie to continue college in Ottawa. They tell Beca's father that they know what he is doing to his daughter.
So that night Beca's father took a far step, he keep hitting and hitting like crazy. And drag Beca to the basement, tie up Beca so she won't escape. But Beca try to escape through the small window, and when the rest of her body left inside, her father and her step sister catch and restrain her leg and hit it with baseball bat. In the middle of her struggle, one of them intend to hit her with long fireplace stick into her stomach, but instead it stab on beca's stomach. Only with the small strength that left, Beca pushing her step sister into the wall. She tried to walk with her broken leg, to the window and crush on it, beca end up outside the window. Not long after that, police come.
Stacie and her girlfriend CR, with their friend Lily, already gather in front of Beca house. Because Beca supposed to meet with them this morning, and when they cannot reach Beca's phone, they choose to drive there. When she saw the police, she knows something happen.
And here she is, sitting in hospital hallway.

After police found Beca's body and ambulance coming, they found Beca's phone inside her pants, it was recorded everything, every word that happen. When they play the recorded voice, Stacie already vomit imagine what her best friend through that day. So she decided not to hear the rest of it. But CR and Lily and police finish it.
