~~~~Chloe POV~~~

I made my way to Tiffany's school to pick her up so we could talk, and I was going to try to find out what was going on with her. I could tell by the way her reaction to Beca talking about her black eye that there was defiantly more to the story than she had told Beca.

Pulling up to the school, I watched as Tiffany made her way outside the building walking side by side with Brandon. She had been holding a stuffed animal, knowing that she didn't bring it from home, I knew she had to have gotten it at school,

"Hey Chloe what are you doing here? Tiffany asked as she leaned down into my car.

"Didn't Beca talk to you about today, me and you are having a girls evening out, maybe some coffee and a trip to the mall my treat"

"No, she didn't tell me we were talking about some other things last night" rolling her eyes. I could tell she was not happy over the move already.

"Ok so do you want to come? Abigail is with Beca for the evening and I could really use some coffee and some shopping."

"Yea give me a second I need to tell Brandon we had plans for today."

"Ok, I will be right here waiting."

Tiffany made her way over to Brandon. I could tell that he was not a happy at what Tiff was telling him. He finally realized that I was watching them, the moment he saw me his whole attitude changed. Tiffany finally made her way back to the car after kissing the slime bag bye.

"Ok so where to first, the call or get some coffee?" She said as she was putting her seat belt on.

"I say we grab some coffee first. After chasing Abigail around all day I am a little wore out."

"Sounds good to me" she responded back.

After a few minutes in the car of uncomfortable silence, I decided to talk to her about one of the many things I needed to talk to her about today.

"So what did you and Beca talk about last night?'" I didn't want to come out and ask her about them moving in with me just in case Beca had not mentioned it.

"She told me and Hannah about moving in with you." Looking down on her lap as she spoke.

"Are you and Hannah ok with it?" I asked.

"Oh, Hannah is tickled to death, you know here she is up for just about anything."

"What about you Tiff" I asked

"I can be completely honest with you right?"

"Absolutely Tiff."

"First I want to say thank you for opening up your home to us. I am completely happy moving in with you. It's just I feel horrible because Beca has to give up her home. Because I know she spent all the money on adopting me,"

Pulling the car over to the side of the road so I could talk to Tiffany. "Ok for once you truly need to listen to me, yes Beca used up her savings to adopt you, but the reason she is losing the house is because of Jesse. This is not your fault at all, you could not help the circumstances you were put in and Beca would be living on the street, starving if it meant getting you away from your birth mom and safe with her. Sweetheart I don't know how you feel, but I know one thing for sure. Beca may not have given birth to you like she did Hannah, but in her eyes it makes you no less of a daughter than Hannah. She loves you, cares for you and would give her life for you the same way she would Hannah."

"You really think so Chloe"

"Honey absolutely, Beca loves you so much. I have known Beca for years and I know she only fights for the people she truly loves. When Hannah was born I saw a light in her eyes start to burn. Not bright like they used to. But the day you became her daughter. I could finally see the complete fire burning in Beca again, both of you girls complete her. Now that we have settled that issue are you ready to go get some coffee? Shaking her head, trying to get the tears to dry, I pulled back out onto the road to head to the coffee shop.

~~~~~Tiffany POV~~~~~~

Brandon had not been happy at all, over me going out with Chloe and standing him up. But I knew if I didn't Chloe and mom would not be happy with me either.

He had bought me a stuffed animal to tell make up for how sorry he was for smacking me across the face. I know what he was doing was not ok. But I loved him and I thought I could change him. The moment he had given me the stuffed animal and he looked at me with his pitiful eyes promising me. He would not lay a hand on me again, even though I know it would happen again, he always promised it. I could not help but forgive him. He looked so pitiful and sorry at that moment it had broken my heart.

Me and Chloe had enjoyed a few minutes of small talk while we were sitting down waiting on our coffee, I knew I should have not ordered it due to the high calories but I had only eaten a couple hundred calories the past few days.

"So how is the eye doing Tiffany?"

"It's ok, still a little sore looks worse than it is. For once I am glad you and Aubrey taught me how to apply good make up."

"It always good to know how to apply it. So what exactly happened?" I could tell Chloe was fishing and was trying to not sound like it.

"I was at a party with Brandon, one of his ex-girlfriends came up giving me a hard time saying she wanted him back. One thing led to another and now I have a black eye." Trying my best to sound as believable as possible. Something about Chloe she could always tell when I was lying.

~~~~Chloe Pov~~~~~

I could Tiffany was lying, she always looked to the left when she was not telling the truth.

"Tiffany I want you to know something, like I said before you can always talk to me. If there is something going on right?"

"I know Chloe, what's going on?"

"Nothing I just want you to know that. Beca said you have been acting funny here lately and I just want to know if everything is ok."

"I know you are and honestly I am just stressed trying to juggle school, home life and a dating a guy. I have never had to juggle so much."

"Sweetheart I completely understand and so does Beca. You have me, Beca, Aubrey and all the Bella girls. You don't have to go at life alone like you are used to just let us help and talk to us ok?"

"I will I promise. I am going to run to the bathroom, I will be right back"

As Tiffany made her way up from the table she dropped her phone on the floor. As she bent down to pick it up. Her shirt rose up showing a huge bruise on her back. I could tell by the way it looked it was more than a day old like her bruise on her face.

I decided to not say anything when Tiffany returned. We continued the rest of the evening shopping and laughing. I knew I couldn't confront her alone and I could not do it at the store. I needed a plan, I knew where to go for the help.

To Aubrey: We have a very big problem.

From Aubrey: What's wrong?

To Aubrey: I took Tiffany out for a little alone time trying to get her to talk to me. Let's just say I know what's going on with her and I need some help. Can you meet me at my house around 9?

From Aubrey: Yea I will be there. See you then
