Monday night/Tuesday morning
"You need to feed her," Beca stated as she stared solemnly at the TV.
"I know, but I'm feeding myself first. I need to be in a good mood for work or I won't get a promotion." Stacie retorted, as if it was obvious that that's what she was doing.
"You do know that you can loose your kids if you don't keep them happy?" Beca questioned with a raised brow as she turned to look at the brunette sat next to her at the edge of her bed.
Stacie's eyes grew wide as her face contorted into a look of horror.
"What?! Shit. What have I got myself in to," she said as she frantically turned back to the TV, controller in hand as she changed the actions of the character.
"Stacie, it's just sims. You can always have another kid." Beca added with a shrug as she leaned back on the bed.
"Oh, so you expect me to just leave it to die and then have another?"
"You were perfectly fine with not feeding it a minute ago."
"I was gonna feed it. Just, after I fed myself."
Beca let out a sigh as she propped herself up on her elbows. "Okay, so marry a random guy so he moves in with you and your kid. If he has a job, make him quit. So, he can spend all his time raising the kid, making sure it's needs are all full. You can make sure your needs are full for your stupid promotion."
Stacie seemed to be thinking for a moment before she nodded and smiled. "That could work. I'm gonna do that,"
Beca let out a sigh. "Stace, I love you and all, but can't we play Call of Duty or something? Anything but Sims."
"Hey, you're the one who owns this game."
"I used to play it a lot, but it gets boring really quick." Beca replied, laying back down on the bed as she stared at the ceiling.
Stacie was about to reply, when a tall blonde woman appeared in the doorway.
"Stacie, honey. It's getting late, you should be going to bed now." She said, in a soft, gentle voice as she offered the girls a smile.
"Okay mom." Stacie replied with a sigh as she put down the game controller, getting off the bed and heading out of the room.
"You too, Beca." The woman then added as she looked back in to the room.
Beca defiantly crossed her arms over her chest. "You can tell Stacie what to do, but your not my mom, Sheila," she spat her name out like it was poison.
Sheila let out a sigh, "I don't know why you insist on being so hostile. You and Stacie get on so well. Why can't we?" She asked, but wasn't expecting an answer as she turned and headed in to her own room, where Beca's father was undoubtedly waiting.
Beca snorted as she rose from her seat on the bed, walking over to the door. She pushed it closed before laying back on her bed. Sheila was right. She should get some sleep. But she wasn't really tired. She pulled out her phone to check the time, seeing that it was just after 11PM and she had a text from Chloe. She smiled slightly as she unlocked the phone to read the text.
'Parents are away all week. Aubrey is at mine for the week. You think you and Stace could get out?'
'Will try. Meet you at your in fifteen.' She text back before putting her phone in her pocket.
Since Shelia and Stacie moved in with them, Beca had not been able to go out and meet her friends since Sheila had convinced her father that she needed to complete all her school work and chores before she would be able to go out. So, she and Stacie often left the house in the middle of the night while Sheila and Warren were in bed. But, lately, Chloe hadn't been able to get out due to her parents no longer working through the night, but through the day instead. So, Beca was looking forward to being able to see her, and Aubrey, again.
Beca crept out in to the hall, making sure the lights in her room were off as she closed the door. No one would go in if the door was closed. She made her way to Stacie's room, not bothering to knock in case it disturbed her dad or Sheila. She opened the door, poking her head around the corner.
"Stace," she whispered in to the darkness. In response, Stacie's bedside lamp turned on as the brunette sat up in bed.
"I could have been naked," Stacie replied with a smirk.
Beca just shrugged as she stepped in to the room, closing the door behind her.
"You make me sit in the bathroom to talk to you while you shower. I don't think you're worried about me seeing you naked." Beca replied as she took a seat on the edge of Stacie's bed. "Anyway, Chloe text. Her parents are away all week, so Aubrey's at hers. You gonna come out with us?"
Stacie appeared to think for a moment before she threw the covers off of her, swinging her legs over the edge of her bed.
"Let me get changed first." Stacie said as she headed to the closet.
"Why? I'm wearing this." Beca replied as she looked down at the tiger striped onesie she was wearing.
"Oooh, I have a leopard onesie. I'm gonna wear that." She replied, and without word, she pulled off her PJ's.
Beca rolled her eyes as she lay back on the bed. "I think I see you in less clothes than your boyfriend."
"Hmm? Oh, trust me, Jesse has seen more than you ever will," Stacie giggled as she turned to Beca with a wink before pulling on her onesie.
"Oh my god. TMI Stacie. TMI."
Stacie rolled her eyes, as she zipped up her onesie, pulling on the hood for good measure. It was a little big, but to be honest, it was dark and only her friends would see her. besides, Beca's was like three sizes too big so it wasn't really noticeable that hers was a little loose.
"Ready. Let's go." Stacie then said as she turned off the lamp, opening the door as quietly as she could. She headed down the stairs, careful not to step on the creaky step. Beca shut the door to Stacie's room before following her down the stairs. Now at the bottom, both girls pulled on their converse.
Stacie headed in to the lounge while Beca was still struggling with her shoes. She opened the window, and easily climbed out. When she looked back in, she saw Beca had only just managed to put on her shoes and was making her way to the window. Beca climbed out, but not as easily as Stacie had managed to, since her legs were a lot shorter so it was harder.
"Do you have the key for the back gate?" Stacie asked as she headed to the gate, which stood at about six foot so was too tall for them to climb without anything to stand on.
Beca grinned as she pulled the key from her pocket, "While you were rushing off, I was taking my time and actually remembered the key." She said smugly as she unlocked it, pulling it open.
"Whatever," Stacie retorted as she rolled her eyes, following Beca through the gate, closing it behind her.
A quick ten minute walk, and the pair finally arrived at Chloe's. The ginger haired girl was stood outside, locking her door, with Aubrey leaned against the wall.
"About time you two got here. Beca said fifteen minutes." Aubrey said with a huff as she crossed her arms.
Beca rolled her eyes, "Calm down. Stacie was adamant she needed to change in to a onesie to match mine."
Chloe turned to the group, and instantly burst out laughing at Beca's outfit.
"Bec, that onesie is huge. It's way too big for you." She said, still laughing.
Beca looked down at the onesie, not seeing the big deal. "So.. it's comfy." she defended.
Stacie then slung an arm around Beca's shoulders, "As much as I'd like to make fun of the size of Beca's onesie. What are we planning to do?"
"Well Chlo and I were gonna go up to the park." Aubrey answered.
"Which one?" Beca then asked, since there were two local parks.
"The one at the end of your street." Chloe then replied, motioning in the general direction.
Beca and Stacie nodded in sync as they turned, walking down Chloe's driveway with Chloe and Aubrey following behind them.
Beca slowed her pace, until she was walking next to Aubrey.
"I'm surprised you'd come out this late. What would your parents think if they found out? Miss Aubrey Posen, being a rebel." She teased the blonde, a slight smirk on her face.
Aubrey rolled her eyes at Beca's antics, but still turned to face her. "I'm staying at Chloe's all week. Which means, my actions are not influenced by my parents."
Beca's eyes widened in shock. Since when was Aubrey's actions not influenced by her parents?
"And Chloe can be very convincing." She added, her gaze straight forward, focusing on the back of Stacey's head.
Beca raised a brow, looking from Stacie to Aubrey, before focusing on Aubrey again. She was going to say something, but decided against it.
"I'm just surprised they let you stay at Chloe's while her parents are away."
"They may not know that Chloe's parents are away." Aubrey replied, not turning to face Beca.
"What? You didn't tell them it would just be the two of you? Oh my god. You're a total secret bad ass."
Aubrey just rolled her eyes, not saying anything else, but instead rushed to catch up with Chloe and Stacie who were a bit in front.
"Oh, yea! Just leave me behind!" Beca called after her as she raced behind them to catch up.
When they finally reached the park, Beca took a seat on one of the swings. Chloe took the one next to her, while Stacie and Aubrey sat at the bottom of the slide. Beca rested her head against the chain links of the swing, as she watched Aubrey and Stacie talk. She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Chloe say something beside her.
"Huh?"
Chloe rolled her eyes. "I asked you how you've been. It's been a while since we saw each other."
"Oh, fine. You know. The usual crap."
"So by that you mean you've been binge eating chocolate cake, ice cream and watching terrible shark films."
Beca laughed as she rolled her eyes. "Am I that predictable?"
Chloe nodded, "Yes. Yes you are." She said as she also laughed.
Beca smirked as she swung sideways on the swing, crashing in to the side of the seat Chloe was sat on. The ginger haired girl let out a 'oof' before turning to Beca.
"Oh, so you want to play that game, huh?" Chloe said as she got off the swing with a smirk.
"Bring it on." Beca said as she also stood, but was quite a bit shorter than Chloe.
Chloe wasted no time before she gently pushed Beca backwards, the smug smirk still on her face. Beca flung her arm around Chloe's neck, getting her in a headlock. Chloe just pushed on the back of Beca's knee, causing her to fall forwards and let go of Chloe. Chloe laughed as Beca rolled on to her back, trying to get back up. In order to prevent her from getting up, Chloe sat on Beca's stomach.
"God, get your fat ass off of me." Beca complained, trying to push Chloe off of her.
"Hmm.. Let me think." Chloe pretended to be in thought for a while before shaking her head. "Nope." With that, she pinned Beca's arms above her head and proceeded to tickle her sides.
Beca screamed out, writhing under Chloe's grip as she tried to get free. But, she couldn't help the laughter as Chloe lightly tickled her.
"No! No! Stop! I can't.." Beca let out, struggling to get her breath.
Chloe's smile dropped as she let go of Beca's arms, quickly getting off of the smaller girl.
"Bec, are you okay?" She asked, worried she had actually hurt her.
Beca just burst out laughing, but promptly reveiced a slap to the side of the face.
"Holy crap Beca. I actually thought I'd hurt you!"
"Sorry. But.. You're face. It was priceless." Beca said, still laughing. She clutched her chest, hurting a bit from the laughter, as she sat up.
Chloe just let out a huff as she stood up and made her way over to Aubrey and Stacie.
"Come on Chlo! I said I was sorry!" Beca called after her as she stood up, brushing strands of grass from the back of her onesie before jogging over to the three girls.
Chloe just crossed her arms over her chest, ignoring what Beca was saying.
Beca let out a sigh as she sat beside Chloe. "Will you forgive me if we go to the 24 hour store and I buy you some orange juice?" She asked, knowing it was Chloe's favorite.
Chloe thought for a second, finally turning to Beca. "Okay." she said, now smiling.
Beca chuckled as she helped Chloe up off the slide. "You two gonna come?" She asked Stacie and Aubrey.
Stacie looked at Aubrey for a moment before looking at Beca and shaking her head. "Nah, we're gonna go down to the other park. The one with that climbing frame." She answered.
"Okay, we'll meet you there later." Chloe said as she and Beca left the park.
The pair walked down the street in silence, until Chloe turned to Beca.
"I want cookies as well." She said, putting her hands in the pockets of her jeans.
Beca raised a brow as she looked at Chloe. "You don't expect much do you?" She said with a chuckle.
Luckily, the store was only at the end of the street, so it didn't take long for them to get there. Beca grabbed a carton of orange juice and a pack of cookies before turning to Chloe. "Anything else?" She asked, but Chloe shook her head. Beca turned and headed to the checkout, paid for the cookies and juice before handing them to Chloe as they left the store.
"We're meeting Aubrey and Stacie at the other park, yea?" Beca asked Chloe, "The one with the children's stuff." She added, just for good measure.
Chloe nodded, "Which other park? There's only two in the area." She said as she popped a cookie in her mouth.
Beca rolled her eyes, "You're getting very sarcastic."
"Me? Sarcastic? Please." Chloe said dramatically as she placed a hand over her chest, causing Beca to laugh.
"You're such a wierdo."
When they reached the park, they found that Aubrey was sat atop the ball-shaped climbing frame. Beca also noticed that a few swings, and a slide, was in the process of being built as that section of the park was fenced off.
"Bree, what are you doing up there?" Chloe yelled as she jogged to the bottom of the frame, standing next to Stacie as she looked up at her friend.
"Stacie didn't think I could get up. I proved her wrong." Aubrey yelled back.
"Congratulations, Bree. You can climb a ball made of rope and metal. Now, you wanna get down?" Beca called as she too jogged up to the base.
"Umm.. I don't think I can." Aubrey yelled back.
"Oh that's fantastic." Beca grumbled.
They were all silenced when the sound of tires filled their ears. All four girls turned to the nearby road, seeing the headlights of a slow moving car. Instinctively, they all assumed it was the cops, so began to panic.
"Run!" Aubrey yelled to the three girls as she ducked down, still a top the frame. Hopefully, she wouldn't be spotted as she wore dark clothes.
Beca, Stacie and Chloe all bolted in the opposite direction, back towards the fenced off area of the park. As the car got closer, Beca slowed, they wouldn't be able to get to cover.
"Dive! Dive! Dive!" Beca yelled, watching Stacie, then Chloe leap to the ground.
Beca dropped to her knees, skidding on the ground a little before flopping down to the ground on her stomach. She lay in silence for a while, until the car seemed to go.
"Guys!" they heard Aubrey call, before they all stood one by one. "Jeez, I thought you left me, I couldn't see you." She shouted as the three girls made their way back to her.
"At least the car didn't see us." Beca said, wiping grass and dirt from her onesie, when she felt a pain in her knee. It also felt a little soggy under her onesie. While Chloe climbed up the ball to help Aubrey down, Beca rolled up the leg of the onesie. Stacie walked over to Beca, a slight smile on her face.
"Don't worry, it wasn't the cops. Just a normal car." She told Beca, then noticed a large, almost circular cut on her knee. Blood trickled down her leg.
"That needs cleaning." Stacie told Beca.
"Hmm? Oh, yea. I think I did it when I dove down. Must have been when I skidded." Beca replied, about to roll the leg back down when Stacie's hand stopped her.
"Don't. It's an open cut, still bleeding. Cover it up, and your onesie will stick to it and that won't be pretty." Stacie told her.
Beca nodded, leaving the leg up before looking up to the climbing frame. Aubrey and Chloe were just jumping to the ground.
"Chlo, can we head back to yours?" Beca asked, as Chloe and Aubrey looked down at her leg. Aubrey nearly fainting at the blood.
Chloe nodded, before they all headed back to Chloe's.
"Does it hurt?" Chloe asked Beca.
Beca shook her head, "Not really. But it will as it heals. I probably won't be able to bend my leg all the way. Why did we run anyway? Even if it was the cops, we could just say our dog got out so we was looking for it."
Chloe chuckled, but shrugged. "Aubrey yelled at us for run. So I did. I didn't really have time to think. Next thing, you're yelling at us to dive down."
"Ha, yea. It was kinda instinct to try and not be seen, ya know? I just.. I dunno. I guess I panicked." Beca replied with a slight shrug.
"Aww, Beca tries to act like a total bad ass, but she's really a total softie." Chloe teased, gently poking Beca's side.
Beca just shoved Chloe away, rolling her eyes. "Shut up, I'm not soft." She tried to defend herself.
By the time they reached Chloe's house, and actually got inside, the blood on Beca's leg was just about dry.
"Sit on the couch, I'll get something to clean it with. Do you want something to put on it?" Chloe asked Beca, but she shook her head. She just wanted something to clean it with.
Aubrey and Stacie took a seat on the sofa beside Beca, but were relatively silent.
"Okay, what's going on? Since when are you two silent." Beca said, turning to the two taller girls.
"Nothing. Bree just feels sick. The blood and all." Stacie said as she began to rub gentle circles on Aubrey's back.
Beca let out a sigh as she stood up and made her way in to the kitchen, where Chloe had gone to find something to clean her knee with.
"My blood is making Bree sick," She said, in a slightly whiny voice, eyes resting on Chloe who was holding a pack of wipes.
"Sit down there," Chloe said, motioning to the bar stool placed at the island. Beca nodded and did as she was told, taking a seat on the stool.
Chloe crouched down, so she was level with Beca's knee as she took out a wipe. She began to clean the dried blood off of Beca's leg, careful of the cut just yet. When her leg was clean, she took out another, clean wipe.
"This will probably sting," She said, getting ready to clean the actual cut.
"I can do it myself, you know." Beca replied, reaching for the wipe, but Chloe had already placed it on the cut.
It didn't hurt at first, but after a second, it began to sting. Almost like a burning sensation. She bit her tongue, holding back a whimper.
"All done," Chloe finally said as she stood up straight.
While Chloe disposed of the wipes, now covered in Beca's blood, Beca slid off the bar stool and slid the onesie back down her leg. Involuntarily, she let out a yawn.
"You tired?" Chloe asked, as she had noticed the yawn.
Beca nodded, "A bit. But it's..." She paused as she took out her phone to check the time. "3AM. Yea, I guess me and Stace should head back." She said.
Chloe nodded as she followed Beca in to the front room.
"Stace, it's just past three. You want to head home now?" She asked Stacie, who just looked at the clock, as if she hadn't realized the time either.
"Oh, um. Ok. I didn't think it was this late." Stacie replied as she stood, walking over to Beca.
"Me either, but I'm pretty tired now." Beca replied.
"I guess I am. A bit." Stacie added, before also yawning. She let out a slight laugh before her and Beca headed to the front door.
"See ya later," They both called to the two girls still in the front room, before heading out.
Beca closed the door behind them, yawning once more, as she followed Stacie through the streets back to their house. She put her hands in her pocket, eyes starting to feel a little heavy.
When they reached the house, they entered the same way they exited four hours earlier. Beca locked the gate behind them while Stacie climbed through the window. Beca followed, still struggling to get through. When she was finally through, they both headed up the stairs.
"See you in the morning, Becs." Stacie called as she headed towards her room.
"Yea, see you in the morning." Beca replied, also heading in to her room. She closed the door behind her, and slid off her onesie before crawling under the covers. She contemplated watching a film, but before she had decided, sleep took over.
A/N;;
Thanks for reading! This is loosely based of a few things I've done when I was a little younger.
This is more for fun than anything, since I get bored a little. I'll update soon, but there's probably only going to be two or three more chapters. So, it's not going to be massively long.
Review, follow, fave, do whatever you want you beautiful unicorns.
