"Chloe what the hell is this?" Beca said barging through the door into Chloe's apartment holding a pink envelope.
"It's an envelope doofus."
"Yes. But do you know who its from?!"
"Beca how the hell would I know, you're the one holding it." Chloe said as she ripped the opened envelope out of Beca's hands.
Beca looked on with a frustrated face hoping Chloe would make this better, "Awe it's the invitations Aubrey sent out for her birthday!"
"Why couldn't she just tell me in person or shoot me a text. A card is way too formal."
"Relax Becs. We're talking about Aubrey here. The most formal, particular girl on campus."
It was true. Aubrey was the most particular, most well-mannered girl on campus. But behind that, she was also the bad/dirty girl extraordinaire that most people, Beca included, lusted for.
"I've heard Aubrey throw's the sickest parties." Chloe paused for a moment and then exploded with excitement, "Beca do you know with this means?"
"You want to be the plus one?" Beca scoffed.
"Well yeah, but no. Every year Aubrey is looking for arm candy for her party. It's open season babe."
"As if. I can't get within 10 feet from her without stuttering like an idiot."
"Well…Get her a gift that you can use as leverage, something that you can both do together."
"Like what Chlo? A dildo?"
Chloe coughed up her wine, "I'm sure she doesn't need one of those Becs. But keep thinking."
"What am I going to do Chlo! The party is tomorrow!" Beca sighed and crashed onto Chloe's lap. Her love for Aubrey ran deep and only Chloe could understand it.
"Sweetie you'll think of something. Listen, I've got class, but I'll help think of a gift and I'll meet you at the party. Text me." Chloe kissed Beca's cheek and they parted ways.
Beca went back to her dorm and panicked. Questions rose in her head, one was what the hell does Aubrey like? And two, how the hell does Aubrey even know who she is? Their only interaction was when Beca stumbled across Aubrey's stretched out legs at the quad. She was too busy caught up in her music and never noticed the blonde making out with whatever guy she had that day,
"Watch it troll!" Aubrey yelled in frustration.
"I'm…I'm so sorry." Beca awkwardly said trying to scramble away to hide in shame.
Beca cringed at her first impression with the blonde goddess that was Aubrey Posen. But she figured her invitation was a step in the right direction.
…
She knew what gift she was going to get. Of course Aubrey would love it, Beca at least knew Aubrey was as much as a music junky as she was. The only problem was she needed someone to drive her to get what she needed. Beca didn't have a car but her best friend who was also her roommate did.
"Stace? Wake up…Wake up!" Beca let out a frustrated huff as she tried to rock Stacie awake. Beca climbed onto the bed and began to jump erratically. Stacie lurched up like an alligator and easily pinned the little pest below her.
"Beca…it is 5 am. What the hell do you want?" Stacie barked. She could be a handful when she didn't get her beauty sleep.
"I need you to drive me to Savannah."
"You must be insane! Savannah is like 3 hours away!" Stacie protested.
"I need to get Aubrey's gift!"
"What the hell is so special about this gift? Just have it shipped here!"
"I can't!"
"Why not?"
"They're Maroon 5 tickets! Their concert is tomorrow night and I need to go get them from the guy today, so I can surprise Aubrey with them tonight.
"Sorry Bec's. I have a science lab at 11." And with that, Stacie easily pushed Beca off her bed and laid back down to sleep.
Beca did the walk of shame back to her bed and sat on the edge. She put the fakest cry she could muster, "I guess I'll never get to impress Aubrey now." She sniffled out.
Guilt started to eat at Stacie and she caved, "Alright I'll drive you. But you owe me so big for this Mitchell I swear!"
Beca popped up off the bed and threw her keys to Stacie, "Hurry up, we're burning daylight."
Stacie rolled her eyes, Beca fooled her good.
…
The girls made it back from their improvised road trip, Beca successfully getting her tickets that she guarded with her life.
"I still say you are insane for buying those."
"The dude gave me a heck of a deal Stace."
"More like broke it off in your ass. Those tickets were overpriced."
"Oh they are not. He needed to get rid of them and they were the only tickets for sale, so he cut me a deal."
Stacie rolled her eyes and went back to bed. "Whatever you say. Wake me up before the party."
"Where are you going?" Beca asked
"Back to bed since I got fucked this morning"
Beca jumped Stacie and kissed her cheek, "Thanks Stacie, that meant the world to me."
Stacie couldn't stay mad at that, "Well, just get your girl tonight alright?"
…
Stacie and Beca rode together and met Chloe outside. Aubrey's childhood home was enormous. It was evident she came from money but damn, it had to be the biggest home just outside of Atlanta.
The party was in full swing and there were cars lined up for what seemed like miles. Music was bumping, and strobe lights could be seen flashing for miles. Aubrey's party was definitely a big deal.
"Alright ladies, pick up your tits and let's go." Chloe proclaimed skipping up to the house.
They were stopped at the door by a larger man, "Names?" Was this party that big of a deal that there had to be a bouncer at the door?
"Chloe Beale, Stacie Conrad and Beca Mitchell." Chloe answered and were allowed into the home. If it were possible, Beca swore the inside of the house was larger than the outside.
Stacie and Chloe placed their gifts on the table with the other gifts while Beca held onto hers, hoping to personally give it to Aubrey herself. Chloe sauntered off in one direction and Stacie the other, leaving Beca all alone. Something she hoped wouldn't happen.
Sure Beca Mitchell was a self-proclaimed badass, but inside she had anxiety issues and never really fit into a crowd. Stacie and Chloe were just about the only friends she had, and they seemed to be right at home with their respected groups.
Beca tried to fit in and chat with others but she just felt like an outcast, so she headed for the mini bar. She enjoyed her drinks while listening to the awful DJ on hand. Mentally making notes to tell the guy on what he should do better, she was about to stop the atrocious music until he spoke up to tell everyone it was time to sing for Aubrey.
And there she was, Aubrey Posen looking like a sex goddess waiting for her next victim. Standing proud in her own spotlight soaking up her birthday song.
Beca put down her glass of confidence and prepared to make her move until Stacie blocked her begging her to do a keg stand.
"Stacie…Move, I need…to get to Aub…" A group of girls flocked to Aubrey and engulfed her. Beca sighed and returned to her seat at the bar with Stacie in tow.
"What's wrong Becs?"
"I'll never get to talk with Aubrey now! Just look at her fangirls." Beca deadpanned.
"I see a group of distraught pissed off girls Becs? No Aubrey to be seen."
"What!" Beca looked up and it was true. Aubrey was gone, and the girls were moping around. "I gotta go."
Beca ran to the girls, "Have you guys seen Aubrey? I got a gift for her."
"Ha! Good luck sweetheart. You just missed her. She took little red riding hood upstairs." The girl said.
Beca's heart sank, she missed her chance. She began to gag and needed to find the nearest bathroom. She found one downstairs, but it had a long wait. She glanced up to the second floor that was pitch black and off limits, "Surely there has to be a bathroom upstairs."
Beca jogged up the stairs and began her search, stopping when she heard sounds coming from behind a certain door. She steadily opened it and nearly passed out from what she was seeing. It was Chloe face and tongue deep into Aubrey who was sitting on her bed grasping Chloe's hair while the girl ate her out.
"Holy Shit!" Beca yelled in surprise.
Chloe jerked back at met eyes with a distraught Beca, pain entering her as she seen the hurt look in the brunette's eyes. "Beca…"
"What the fuck! Get the fuck out of here troll!" Aubrey angrily yelled as Beca scampered off. "Who the hell was that Chloe?" Aubrey asked impatiently.
"She's just my friend. She really likes you and I didn't have the heart to tell her about us. I sent her an invitation because I knew you wouldn't actually invite her. I'm sorry I need to go check on her."
Aubrey seductively extended her legs around Chloe's head locking her in place, "You got a birthday gift to deliver first." Chloe wanted to protest, but damn Aubrey and her long legs.
Beca ran down the stairs and out the door, not even bothering to find Stacie. She opted to call an uber or even a taxi, but her phone was dead. She forgot to charge it after her and Stacie's road trip, "Fuck it. I'm a big girl. I need to exercise anyways."
Beca made her hour journey on foot back to campus and slammed her door shut in frustration. "How the fuck could Chloe do that to me! After all I confessed to her about my feelings for Aubrey! I trusted her!"
"No one cares! Shut the hell up!" A voice said calling through the wall. Beca quietly shouted her anger to the world and waited for her phone to come back on.
Surprisingly, she had only one text from Stacie that read,
'Ready to leave?' Beca replied and told Stacie she was already back in their room and left it at that. The second shock was Chloe and the fact that she didn't bother to call.
"Fuck her!" Beca huffed and slammed her phone against the wall, effectively breaking it. She proceeded to rip the picture of her and the red head up that she kept on the bedside table and anything that came from Chloe Beale was destroyed and slung across the room.
Beca tired herself out and eventually collapsed onto the floor in exhaustion. Stacie stepped through the threshold and took in the sight, Beca passed out on the floor and shit being broken. Upon inspection, most of the stuff involved Chloe. Stacie tried to call the red head to no avail, so she placed Beca in her bed and went to bed herself, preparing for whatever Beca had to say the next day.
…
Stacie had woke up later than usual, probably because Beca unplugged her alarm clock,
"Sorry Stace, didn't want you up early, so I unplugged your clock."
"I see that. Can you explain why you have a picture of Chloe on the dartboard?"
Beca slumped over and Stacie braced herself, "Because she is a fake bitch! She went behind my back and was fucking Aubrey last night."
Stacie expected something huge, but that was a bombshell.
