Aubrey and Chloe arrived next to the big oak, where they had been eating the day before.
Chloe stopped and faced her best friend. Her eyes were full of anger.
'Aubrey Posen, would you please explain yourself ?'
'About what ? Why would I explain anything to you ?'
'Oh, god. The shirt Aubrey. Are you kidding ? Don't you think that I may be aware of what's going on right now ?'
The redhead was yelling now, hands on her hips. Aubrey shook her head.
'What was I supposed to do ?'
'You could've told me !' Chloe said with a desesperate voice.
'Wow, sorry. Next time I'll provide a big sign just for you.'
Chloe sighed but she changed her tone.
'What are you two now ? A couple ?'
'Y-Yeah ... I mean, we're trying', Aubrey said.
'Why are your cheeks so pink Bree ?'
'They're not !'
'That's so wired Aubrey. I'm not used to see you like that.'
'Well just ... What's that look Chloe ? Scary Beale.'
The redhead was staring at Aubrey with a mixture of curiosity and disgust.
'Did you two have sex ?' she suddenly asked.
Aubrey covered her mouth with her hand.
'Oh my god. It's none of you business, are you kidding ?'
'I'd like to know, too !' a voice yelled right behind them.
Aubrey turned around and found herself face to face with Beca.
The brunette grabbed Chloe's waist and stayed next to her, facing Aubrey.
'So ?'
'Let me be clear. This is my problem, not yours. Why is it so important to you ?' the blonde said.
'Maybe because he's my ex-boyfriend', Beca sighed.
'And you're my best friend', Chloe added.
'I know but it's just-'
'Aubrey', Chloe interrupted. 'We just care for you. We don't want you to make a ... a mistake.'
'Wow.'
Aubrey crossed her arms.
'A mistake. That's it. Well, what if I don't care ? What if, for once, I want to focus on what I want ?'
'We just want the best for you, okay ?' the redhead said, grabbing her friend's wrists.
'There's an endless list of reasons of why it might not work. Jesse and I. But I want to do it, and, you know what ? I'll freaking do it.'
'Of course, she'll do it', the brunette said with a smirk.
Aubrey took a step back and pushed Chloe gently.
'But please, don't tell the others.'
'Oh wow, it's even a secret thing now', Beca murmured.
'We'll tell them tonight, alright Mitchell ? You can keep your sarcasm for yourself, thanks.'
Beca rolled her eyes and looked at Chloe to find some aid, but the redhead eyes were locked at Aubrey's.
The blonde sighed.
'I gotta go. I don't want this thing to turn into a whole scandal.'
'Well, fine', Chloe said. 'See you in a few minutes !'
'Yeah.'
Aubrey walked away.
As soon as Beca knew Aubrey couldn't hear her anymore, she started to laugh.
'This is so amazing.'
'Oh, really Becs ?'
'Yeah. I mean... Jesse and Aubrey. Like ... HIM and HER.'
'I'm glad if she's happy', Chloe said.
She grabbed Beca's shoulders, who was still laughing.
'What's so funny?'
'Jesus Christ ! Remember how mad she was when she though I was with Jesse ? T'was bullshit Chloe ! She just wanted him for her !'
'Yeah that's probably something like that',Chloe recognised.
'Dammit ! That's hilarious. Aubrey Posen doesn't even want to admit her feelings.'
'I can understand it when it's about Jesse, Becs.'
'I can't wait to see what their couple is gonna look like. This is fucking ridiculous.'
Chloe nodded.
'We'll see it quite soon.'
'Yeah', Beca whispered.
She sighed and looked around her.
'Can we go ? I'm freezing.'
'Sure.'
The brunette grabbed Chloe's hand and they walked together to the dormitory.
