"That was you " Chloe said out loud.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Beca asked Chloe wanting to know what's going in her mind.
"Never mind. Now get up and get ready." Chloe says to Beca.
"What? Why?" Beca says confusingly.
"We going for some fresh air."Chloe says while ideas running on her mind.
"Your face says lot more. Why I have feelings like something is cooking in your head." Jesse interjects.
"You are getting ready" Chloe pull Beca up from her bed, "and you out" pointing at Jesse.
"We are going to Aubrey's" Chloe says to Jesse as they made their way to hall leaving Beca at her room.
"What?" Jesse nearly yelled.
"Jesse... Don't yell in my ear ! And calm down." Chloe instantly cover her ears.
"I was right. You have something cooking in your mind. I can smell it."Jesse says in low voice.
"Maybe or may not be. It'll be fun if we four getting along. I Mean Beca and Aubrey both need to loosen up"Chloe says pointing out.
"You do have nice motive but let me tell you something she is Beca. Beca effin Mitchell who don't need friend. She is loner. It's a only I stuck with her but she don't need me either. I have tried so many times to get along her with someone but look around there is no one here. So stop yourself from hoping with Aubrey ? It's impossible." Jesse tells her honestly.
"I have my ways. So are you with me or not?" Chloe says looking into his eyes.
"If it ends in wrong way then don't tell me that I haven't warn you." Jesse says plops on couch.
They spend some time in hall while waiting for Beca. Sheila comes in hall from kitchen looks at them. "Oh hey Jesse! And you must be Chloe.I have heard about you from Harry. Sorry I didn't get chance to welcome you here." Sheila says making her approach to redhead.
"Oh NO are Beca's mom?" Chloe says while smiling.
Sheila just about to reply Chloe a stern voice they heard " step mom" Beca says through stairs half glare at Sheila and then look towards Chloe. After looking Chloe her glares drop by the view of smiling Chloe she can't help but softly smile herself. Chloe sense that Beca and her mom scratch that step mom are not in good terms. Another relations she have to fix but it's not right approach Chloe ignoring Sheila " so where to?" She said hiding her excitement.
Chloe about to answer her but Sheila cut her off,"You haven't had your breakfast Beca and you two Can also join us. I made pancakes today. I know you love pancakes Jesse and I hope you love it too Chloe." Sheila says looking at brighten face Jesse then at Chloe.
"We don't want it." Beca says deadpan. Jesse and Sheila's face fell instantly.
"I love to plus I haven't had my breakfast too and I looove pancakes." Chloe says ignoring Beca's comment. Maybe she have to go step by step for this. Here it goes her first step. Already making her way to kitchen closely follow by Sheila. Jesse shrugs towards Beca having no other choice follow them.
"So where are you going ?" Sheila asks.
"Oh just nearby here my sister leaves. I want to introduce her to my new friends" Chloe reply Sheila. Beca nearly chokes her bite. Jesse ducks his head not wanting to look at Beca decides to continue his breakfast."oh what's her name?" Sheila inquire."Aubrey posen" Sheila quickly glance at Beca and then smiles at Chloe.
"Chloe? What the hell. What are you thinking? I am not going to come with you." Beca blurted out.
"Relax becs after all we are going to be in same class. How long you two are not going to talk? You are coming with me"Chloe says to Beca.
"Yes I think Chloe is right. You should go."Sheila interject.
"But..."Beca started but got nothing because she is now looking at Chloe who now giving her puppy dog look. Her eyes looks like at verge of tears. Beca can't say NO to Chloe.
"Fine but if I got kill today it'll be your fault." Beca defeated.
"Yey !" Chloe pump her fist into air.
Rest of breakfast went in silence. They head towards main door. "I'll be right back. I forgot something . You guys wait for me." Beca says and quickly head towards her room.
"Chloe beale you are something else" Jesse admits to Chloe.
"I told you so. It's just a piece of cake. You will see."Chloe winks at him.
After Beca join them they made their way to Aubrey's home leading by Chloe.
"You do know about ?" Beca whispers into Jesse's ear little sternly.
"I don't know what are you talking about?" Jesse quickly says and join Chloe into conversation which Beca thought silly.
Beca can only now curse herself. I said yes in first place? Why can't I say just NO? What I'm going to say? I mean yes that was my fault but I can't stand that girl. Without her knowing she is now standing next to Aubrey's front door just in time Chloe looks nervousness in Beca's eyes. Chloe gently squeeze Beca's hands, " don't worry becs. Aubrey is good and most caring person once you get to know her. Just you don't mess with her this time. Okay?" Beca can only nod. Chloe knocks the door twice and they met green pair of eyes tall blonde girl.
"Chloe? What are you_?" Aubrey got cut off after seeing another two unknowing guests not SO unknowing. And it clicks. But before Aubrey can say she sees Chloe whispers something in Jesse's ear before Chloe wrap her into warming hug. That's cue for Jesse as he nearly pushing Beca inside house.
"How are...*THUD* " Chloe says while hugging Aubrey but interrupted by a loud thud. She quickly look and found Beca on ground and Jesse standing just behind helping her to get up.
"Dude? What was that?"Beca complains.
"I'm sorry." Jesse quickly apologize.
"Oh my god. Are you okay,Beca? What happened?" Chloe asks concerning.
"He pushed me to the ground" Beca glares at Jesse.
Jesse looks towards Chloe he looks like sorry puppy. "Let's go inside. Are you okay though?" As she leads Beca to couch." We'll right back" signals Aubrey to come kitchen.
After 10 minutes felt forever for Beca Aubrey and Chloe back to room with some snacks and cold drinks. They settled all snacks and cold drinks at table near to couch and set down on couch. Silence which kills Beca. "So..."Chloe cut off by Aubrey.
"She have apologize to me first."Aubrey announced which earns 3 stares to her.
"What? Aubrey it's not what I say to you." Chloe says to Aubrey quite pissed.
"She owns this to me most of I deserve it" Aubrey clarifies.
"You wish miss I don't own anyone anything."Beca states. Enough of her. What she thinks? She is not getting everything that she wants.
"Oh god no Beca." Chloe try to stop wherever it leads.
"Oh so you have amnesia or something. YOU bumped into me four years ago ,you just left me there soaking wet and when I came to your house for giving you opportunity to apologize me not only you reject it you said lots of mean things to me." Aubrey says now standing next to Beca.
"Oh so you were like not very quiet girl. You did do same things back. You were total nazi back there who was not only commands me to apologize but you were the reason I was grounded like forever." Beca spats back and mirrored Aubrey's actions.
They are now standing face to face hands crossed to their chests glaring each other. Jesse quickly excuse himself away from that scene and stands across them. Chloe massage her temple not knowing how to get this situation under control," Why don't we sit and talk like civilians?" Chloe tried her last attempts.
"Say you are sorry" Aubrey says
"Never in a million years." Beca says back.
"Aubrey can't you let it go?" Chloe says trying hard to get everything under control in good way.
"You are standing in my house. A alt girl with ear monstrosities like you can't fear me with your heavy eyeliner." Aubrey says getting herself back in argument.
"You don't like me." Beca says.
"I don't like your attitude." Aubrey says quickly.
"You don't even know me." Beca argues back.
"I don't need it." Aubrey says back.
They just continuing their fight ignoring Chloe. Not ignoring whole world. They are constantly bickering. Their voice are as loud as anyone who passes from street could heard them. Still no one is refuse to back down.
"ENOUGH! THAT'S IT. BOTH OF YOU JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME." Chloe yells as they can hear her voice and as she have their attention they both Can see fire in Chloe's eyes.
"Good. Aubrey . Could you just get out from past and see what are you doing? See how you acting? Is it too hard to forget something happened four years ago? Why are you so stuck up?What is wrong with you? " Chloe says to Aubrey who is speechless because Aubrey knows she is right.
"And you Beca is it too hard to apologize someone when you know clearly that was your mistake? Still you are just arguing like it's your question for death." This time glare for Beca
" And you Jesse? Why are you soo quite? Why don't you interrupt them? Beca's your friend you should tell her when she is wrong without fear. Got it?" He just nodded while Beca and Aubrey looks towards floor.
"Now you both say after me. I'm sorry say each others IT." Chloe raise her voice.
Beca never want to saw Chloe wrath more. And know very well Chloe can get whatever she wants. They do what Chloe says because they know she is right though.
"I'm sorry Aubrey" Beca says while Aubrey says"I'm sorry Beca"
"Good. Enough drama for today. We will hang out tomorrow. Just remember now on we are friends and we will not holding some grudges that will come between in our friendship. Got it?" Chloe asks.
"Yes" three heads nodded in agreement and says in unison.
