Aubrey walked in the house and went straight into the bedroom without even looking at Beca. She went and sat on her bed and started crying in her hands. In seconds, Beca was up the stairs and holding Aubrey waiting for her to calm down.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm here" Beca soothed. "What happened?"

"I got the internship" Aubrey sobbed

Beca was puzzled, how was that a bad thing?

"That's great, but why are you crying?"

"Because it's all the way across the country"

Beca, on instinct, gripped her girlfriend tighter.

"Hey, look at me" Beca said, tilting the blondes head up to look into her eyes, "We'll be fine. We can text, call, Skype, whatever, but we'll be fine, okay?"

Aubrey nodded and kissed her girlfriend.


They were currently sitting in the airport waiting for Aubrey's flight to be called. Beca hadn't let go of the blondes hand since they got out of the car. She was willing herself not to cry.

Aubrey looked at Beca, seeing the uneasy look in the brunette's eyes. Before she realized it, she started singing softly

Yo, my best friend, best friend 'til the very end

Cause best friends, best friends don't have to pretend

You need a hand, and I'm right there right beside you

You in the dark, I'll be the bright light to guide you

'Member the time, time, times sneaking out the house

All of the time, time, times that you had your doubts

And don't forget all the trouble we got into

We got something you can't undo, do

Beca looked at Aubrey, remembering every stupid little thing they did. She couldn't stop the tear that escaped rolling down her cheek.

Laughing so damn hard

Crashed your dad's new car

All the scars we share

I promise, I swear

Wherever you go, just always remember

That you got a home for now and forever

And if you get low, just call me whenever

This is my oath to you

Wherever you go, just always remember

You're never alone, we're birds of a feather

And we'll never change, no matter the weather

This is my oath to you

Aubrey had a weak smile on her face. She needed to say this and she needed Beca to hear it.

I know I drive you crazy, hmm, sometimes

I know I call you lazy, and that's most times

But you complete me, and that's no lie

You are my tuxedo, and I'm your bow tie

We in the car, sing, sing, singing our song

Rocking the building, tear it down, like we king kong

And in my eyes, you can do, do no wrong

You got a best friend sing, sing along

This was a promise to Beca, a promise to always be together, no matter what, and it helped Beca with the idea of Aubrey living halfway across the country for half a year.

Laughing so damn hard

Crashed your dad's new car

All the scars we share

I promise, I swear

Wherever you go, just always remember

That you got a home for now and forever

And if you get low, just call me whenever

This is my oath to you

Wherever you go, just always remember

You're never alone, we're birds of a feather

And we'll never change, no matter the weather

This is my oath to you

Aubrey's flight was called, but she made no move to get up. Sure she could be late to her flight, this was more important.

Oh ohh, I'll never let you go

Oh ohh, whoa, this is my oath to you

Oh ohh, just thought that you should know

Oh ohh, whoa, this is my oath to you

Yeah...

Wherever you go, just always remember

That you got a home for now and forever

And if you get low, just call me whenever

This is my oath to you

Wherever you go, just always remember

You're never alone, we're birds of a feather

And we'll never change, no matter the weather

This is my oath to you

Oh ohh

You should know, you should know, you should know, you should know, yeah

Oh ohh, whoa, this is my oath to you

Oh ohh

Beca had tears streaming down her face as her girlfriend gathered her bags. She got up to hug her girlfriend before she passed through security, finishing the song as a whisper, knowing Beca needed that reassurance that no matter what, they would always have each other.

Wherever you go, just always remember

You're never alone, we're birds of a feather

And we'll never change, no matter the weather

Oh ohh, this is my oath to you

She kissed her on the head before going through security. That one final wave was all Beca saw before Aubrey was gone. Just 6 months, she told herself, as she downloaded that song onto her phone.
