To anyone who knew Beca Mitchell, Aubrey Posen was easily the best choice for her. They had known each other for eleven years now and the blonde had always rescued Beca and kept her in check.
Beca had been a tiny brunette, smaller than most eight year olds at age ten. She was constantly being picked on and bullied for having two dads. She was a fighter though. It wasn't unusual to see her scrapping with some kid in the football field, or being dragged to the office for fighting. On a warm spring day, Aubrey Posen walked past a circle of yelling kids and got curious enough to push her way in. What she saw made her stomach sink.
Two boys, from her class, had a little girl pinned to the ground. Another boy was feeding her kicks to the stomach.
"Didn't even one of your daddies ever teach you how to fight back you little wussy?" one of them yelled.
"Enough!" Aubrey caught herself yelling. "She's got the point you bullies. Now leave her alone, or I find a teacher so fast you will be in detention before you've even stopped kicking." The crowd dispersed.
Aubrey knelt down beside the crying girl. "Beca, right?" the brunette nodded. "I'm Aubrey. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Really, they've done worse than this to me before." she stood up. "Thanks for stopping them though, it was nice to have someone in my corner for a change. I should probably go wash up before recess is done." she started walking away slowly.
Aubrey immediately attached herself to the younger girl. She was definitely interesting, and she hadn't called Aubrey a narc or rat. She was grateful for the small amount of protection the blonde had offered her.
Beca spent most recesses sitting with Aubrey on a hill. Most of the time they talked about useless stuff, like what TV show they had recently watched or what homework they had that night. Eventually, Beca brought Aubrey home to meet her dads.
"Don't tell them how we met okay? They don't know how much I get beat up at school, and they will worry if you say anything." Beca had whispered to her blonde friend. Aubrey nodded emphatically.
Beca's dads loved her. From that day on, Aubrey spent almost every waking moment there. Her own family was kind of a wreck. Her dad was always working and her sixteen year old brother said that mom was 'always on the sauce'. Aubrey loved being at the Mitchell house, there was so much warmth and love there. It was hard to believe that such a family could exist in Aubrey's world.
Five years later on Aubrey's 17th birthday, Beca finally worked up the courage to ask her out.
"Aubrey, you're my best friend and I understand if you don't but, I like you. A lot. I was hoping maybe you would want to go out with me? Like on a date?" Aubrey had answered her with a kiss.
"I thought you would never get around to asking." she giggled.
Beca spiraled out of control during her senior year of high school. Aubrey had stayed local for college to keep a better watch on her girlfriend, but it was evident that something had to give. After Beca bailed on yet another movie night, Aubrey showed up pissed off and ready to fight about it.
"The fuck is going on with you Beca? You are in high school, I get it. You want to party and have a blast, go for it. But don't ask me to sit on the sidelines and wait for you to be ready to go back to us. It's me or the drinking Beca, and you need to decide. I'll give you the weekend to figure it out. If I haven't heard from you by then, I'm over it." Aubrey had left Beca standing outside, alone and crying, at her own house party.
Sunday had come with Beca standing outside of Aubrey's house, waiting for Adam to get her. When Aubrey appeared Beca started talking.
"Look baby, I'm sorry. I'm done. No more drinking. You're more important to me Bree. You're my forever, and drinking only made me forget that fact. You reminded me of it. I love you Aubrey Posen, don't let me forget you again okay?" Aubrey had pulled her into the house, crushing her in a hug.
"I love you too Beca Mitchell."
Now at twenty one and twenty three, Beca and Aubrey were still happily together. They were in a place of their own, and Beca was working at a radio station by day. Aubrey was in pre law at the university and still keeping Beca in check. Nothing would ever stop them from getting their shot at a happy ending. Until the day Chloe Beale walked into the radio station, asking for her mentor Beca Mitchell.
Just a bit to sample it. Let me know how you feel about it and if I should keep it going. Also, Ocean Blue is still in works, just needing a bit of a mental stop in that storyline. Will have a post for that as soon as I know where it's going.
