Disclaimer: I own nothing.
"I want you."
Aubrey was startled by the sudden confession. She blinked a few times, attempting to see if it was a dream or just someone playing a dumb joke on her, but when the girl in front of her didn't burst out laughing and when nobody popped out from nowhere saying 'April Fools', she knew this was real.
Aubrey's jaw slackens ever so slightly, it wasn't everyday that she gets a confession as bluntly as this one. She was completely speechless, her brain didn't seem to want to function, and all train of thoughts were stuck on the three little words that were directed to her.
Maybe it was because of her facial expression, or the time she took to reply or maybe just the fact that she didn't reply, but when she got back to her senses, the girl was no longer in front of her.
'Shit!' That was Aubrey's last thought before she took off running chasing for the girl.
'Dammit, for someone who never do any kind of cardio how the fuck does she run so fast!?' Aubrey thought angrily as it seemed like she was chasing a ghost.
"AMY!" She yelled, "Please, wait!" and she pled shamelessly. Aubrey tries to catch up to the blonde but it seemed like the girl in front of her had absolutely no intention of stopping whatsoever.
Finally, Aubrey was out of breath and she couldn't chase Amy anymore, she slowed down to a halt, bending over trying to get air back into her lungs. She followed the blonde with her eyes until she disappeared into the buildings.
Aubrey had never felt so scared and lost in her life, because of her stupidity, she might have just lost the best thing that's ever happened to her.
For the following weeks, Aubrey tried desperately to get Amy to talk to her; she tried to corner the freshman in her classes, knock on her dorm to check if she was in every day after her classes (only to be rejected by Amy's roommate), spam texting the blonde but nothing seemed to work. Amy would always slip through the crowd before Aubrey could get to her, and honestly, it was starting to make Aubrey really angry and frustrated.
So Aubrey went to the only person she know that wouldn't judge her: Chloe.
"Chloe, can I talk to you for a second?" Aubrey called out to the redhead as she entered their dorm rooms.
"Hey Bree. Sure, what's up?" Chloe asked in her cheerful voice as she plopped down onto Aubrey's bed.
Aubrey stared at her best friend for a minute, 'She wouldn't judge me… would she? I mean I was kind of a bitch to her when she and Beca first gone out… but that's because Beca's not good enough for her…' Aubrey started to panic as she thought of all the possibilities where Chloe would laugh at her or abandon her or something bad.
"Aubrey?" Chloe asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
"I…" 'Ugh, just get it out and over with. There's nobody else that would understand.' "I think I'm in love with Amy." She blurted out quickly.
A pregnant silence dawned upon the duo; Aubrey tried to gauge a reaction out of her best friend but received none.
"Is that it?" Chloe smiled at the blonde.
"What do you mean 'Is that it', this is a big deal! I'm in love with a girl! And not just ANY girl, it's Amy!" She gestured wildly with her hands, 'How can she be so calm when I'm about to puke over here!' Aubrey thought cynically to herself.
"I know." Chloe said simply.
"I mean, how can I even—Wait… What do you mean by you know?" Aubrey stared blankly at the redhead.
"I already know you were in love with Fat Amy." Chloe explained nonchalantly as she fluffed Aubrey's pillow.
"Don't call her that." Aubrey reflexively retorted.
Chloe simply smiled and look back at her friend. Aubrey frowned at the calmness in her friend but then she realized that she might have lost the girl that she might have been in love for a while.
"I think I screwed it up…" She casted her blue eyes down to the creamy carpet. A wave of guilt washes her over as she recalls the disappearing blonde.
"I mean, she just randomly blurted out that she wants me, what was I suppose to do?!" She whipped her head back up to look at Chloe, wanting the redhead to give her an answer to solve all her problems.
"What did you do?" Chloe urged the blonde to continue.
"I… I didn't do anything." She replied quietly, feeling the shame overwhelming all her senses.
Chloe stared at the Bella captain with incredibility and gaped at the… stupidity of her best friend.
"You just stood there and let her walk away!?" Chloe jumped up from the bed, now standing in front of Aubrey, who's sitting in her desk chair with her head hung low.
Aubrey nodded solemnly and slowly.
"Oh my god no wonders she…" Chloe said with a new found understanding in her tone as she trails off.
"What do you mean 'no wonder she'? Did you see her? Where did you see her? Tell me!" Aubrey snapped her head up and demanded.
"She came to Beca's dorms like, a week ago, we were making out and she just busted into the room crying… We tried to make her talk but she didn't say anything, she just sat there and cried. I even tried to get her some food but she wouldn't eat, or talk to either of us." Chloe said sadly as she recalls what happened a week ago.
It felt like all the air had rushed out of her body, Aubrey deflated in her chair as she realized that she had render the toughest and funniest girl into tears.
She never wanted this to happen, this wasn't what she wanted.
"Is she staying at Beca's dorm?" She asked her friend quietly, her voice was almost eerie.
"Yeah, Kimmy Jin is out of town so Amy's been crashing over there." With that said Aubrey rushed out of her dorm and ran towards Beca's room.
A few minutes later, she was standing in front of Beca's door, she knocked frantically.
The door was whipped open, revealing a disheveled brunette. Beca glared at the blonde standing in front of her, "What do you want Aubrey?" she said harshly.
"I want to see Amy." There was desperation laced in her voice, she wants… No, she needsto see Amy. She feels like if she has to endure another day without the blonde's witty sarcastic comment, she's going to puke her guts out.
"She's not here." Beca replied coolly.
"I know she's here, Chloe told me she's crashing with you for the whole week." Aubrey tries to pry Beca away from the doorstep to get into the room, but to no avail, the brunette seemed to be planted in front of her.
"What makes you think she wants to see you?" Beca questioned Aubrey, after listening to the blonde cry to sleep every night; she finally got the big girl to confess in her about what had happened.
And right now, she was definitely not a fan of Aubrey's.
"Please Beca… Just let me explain to her. I need to see her." Aubrey pleaded with all her might, it's taking everything she has to not push Beca aside and rush into the room and jump into those arms she longed for.
Beca frowned at the taller blonde, slightly wavering from the sincerity in her voice. With a sigh, she said sternly to Aubrey. "If you hurt her again, I will be your personal hell." With that, she walked past Aubrey and out of her room.
Aubrey rushed inside the dorm and found the girl she ached for curled up in a ball on one of the beds.
She quietly made her way towards Amy; she sat down on the empty space on the bed. She saw the trails of tears on the other blonde's face; she immediately felt an overwhelming guilt washing over her. She extended her hand to caress Amy's face; softly and slowly, she trailed her fingers from the platinum blonde's eyelid down to her little nose and finally down to those pink lips that she have only dreamt of.
"I am so sorry…" she whispered softly. "I didn't mean to hurt you…"She said as tears started to flow down from her eyes, she knew that whatever pain she felt in the past week, Amy had it tripled.
Aubrey couldn't bear to imagine what it would feel like if Amy had rejected her when she pours her heart out.
"I want you too, Amy." She said finally, it felt like a huge weight was lifted from her heart.
"Really…?" Amy said hopefully as she turned onto her back and opened her hazel eyes to find the baby blues. Aubrey was startled by the sudden inquisition, she had thought her love was asleep, but her racing heart was settled by those beautiful hazel orbs.
There were pain and a tinge of hope in Amy's eyes, Aubrey wanted to slap herself for hurting this wonderful girl but decided that she might as well ease Amy's pain before punishing herself.
"I need you." She replied lovingly, "I love you Amy, and I'm so sorry I didn't say anything back there. I was just so –"She was about to explain to the girl that her silence was simply caused by surprise and not by disgust when she felt a pair of soft lips covering her own.
The kiss was tender and shy; it was for reassurance and expressing their love.
Soon, Amy pulled away from the kiss and sat up on the bed. She leaned towards the tall blonde and kissed away the tears that were running down her face. Then she placed her forehead against Aubrey's, the baby blues met the hazel orbs and all doubts were flown out the window.
"I love you, too."
No words were needed after that as Aubrey leaned in for another kiss.
