Chapter 10
"Hey guys I'm so sorry I'm-" Chloe stopes mid sentence closing the door to Aubrey's bedroom and dropping her backpack on the floor taking in the scene in Aubrey's room.
Aubrey is lying down on her bed, but that's not the odd part, the odd part is that she's panting and pink in the face, with Stacie straddling her hips and bent down so her breasts are basically shoved in Aubrey's face.
"Sooo what are you guys doing?" Chloe can't help the massive smile that crosses her face just looking at her two friends. For some time now she's had her suspicions of the both of them liking each other as more than just friends, all the lingering looks, the unnecessary touches and hand holding as they walk together, yes Chloe holds both Stacie's and Aubrey's hand at times when she walks too but they don't get this stupid grin when she does.
"Well I'm trying to study and Stacie here keeps on trying to distract me" Aubrey says looking at Chloe. "Which..." she looks back to the girl on top of her. "Is not working by the way so you can stop tickling me now and get off"
"Hmmmmm nah I think I'm gonna stay here I'm kinda comfy" Stacie said with a large grin, sitting up straight.
Stacie didn't see the small shy smile that graced Aubrey's lips when she said that, but Chloe did, she saw the whole thing from the shy smile to the lip bite when Stacie wiggled backward so her butt was on Aubrey's thighs, she definitely didn't miss the way Aubrey's breathe got stuck in her throat when Stacie laid down so her head was on her chest.
"Stacie wha- wait... Where the heck where you, you where suppose to be here an hour ago" Aubrey's now pointing at Chloe with a frown on her face.
"oh yeah, I was doing my history assignment with beca, I lost track of time sorry" as soon Baca's name comes out of Chloe's mouth Aubreys whole face scrunches up as if there's a bad taste in her mouth.
"Beca! the alt girl who crashed into us then again into you, the one that's always in black?" as she was trying to get the sentence out without showing how much she actually dislikes this girl, Stacie was drawing little patens with her figure on the side of Aubreys ribs listening to the convocation going on.
"Aubrey she said she was sorry and the other time was my fault I was the one that spilt water all over her, but who cares about that right now. You guys know how she was trying out for the basketball team" both friends nodded their head "well she had to stay back to talk to couch and that was when I had to go and get my stuff off the felid and I saw them talking well him talking over beca anyway. she. Looked. Pissed. And when he left she was just standing there for a while then she started just cursing like crazy, after a bit she made her way to the locker room so obviously I followed, and she was bashing in her locker and there was blood on her hands and then she couldn't breathe anyway so not the point, the point is she told me what he said to her, she said that he said she will most likely not get picked for the team because SHE, get this, won't be able to keep up with the boys" Stacie cuts in before she can continue on.
"that's bull shit she was the best on there, she was literally running circles around the boys"
"I know! But that's not all he said, he said that she won't be fast or strong enough. You guys saw that she was the best out there right"
"yeah half the cheer team saw, they couldn't keep their eyes off her, not that I can blame them she was looking especially fine out there today with her arms out and needing to life her jersey up showing off her wash board abs and all sweaty like, Damn!" Stacie didn't notice Aubrey under her getting increasingly jealous.
"Yes! Stacie we know no need to keep bringing it up, we were all there and saw" people always underestimated Stacie and even though these three have been best friends for years they sometime forget how good she is at reading people. She knows Aubrey is mad, jealous even but she doesn't know why or at whom. She doesn't like being the reason for Aubrey's mood shift, she likes it when she's relaxed like how they were before Chloe came and brought up beca.
Stacie shifts so she's looks away from Chloe now, placing her head in between Aubreys neck and shoulder "I know I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you mad at me" she whispers, her lips brushing Aubreys neck every time she speaks.
Aubry can't help the way he eyes close feeling Stacies lips brush up on her neck "Its...i-I I'm not...m-m-mad... I'm not mad, sorry"
"Okay now we know no one's mad, listen up, I got a plane"
Chloe continues to tell the girls the plane with only minimal complaint from Aubrey. After going over every step about 5 times, until it's time to go home. Aubrey invited them to stay over and all head to school together the next day but Chloe couldn't stay, her mother wanted her to come home. After saying good bye to the two girls Chloe makes her way home, Aubrey only lived up the street and Stacie in the house in front.
As Chloe walks down the street she thinks about what has happened that day. She really enjoys hanging out with beca, it's different to when she is with Stacie, Aubrey or the other girls even though she doesn't say much or laugh much or even smile much, she doesn't show all that much emotion apart anger really, even though she's not always angry.
So stuck in her own thoughts she doesn't notice the red car drive past or the sound of running feet coming up behind her until a very familiar voice calls out but not her name.
"Samson! No! Stay!"
Turning around Chloe is taken down by the massive dog, landing on her ass with a hard thud. Still being a little dazed by the fall she doesn't react fast enough and gets a face full of slobber.
"Samson get down" pulling the dog off the stranger beca begins to apologize and hold out her hand to help them up "I'm so sorry I don't know why he- Chloe?" see that the girl that was taken down is Chloe stops all off Baca's movements. Slightly bent down to help and hand half way out, beca freezes.
Seeing beca stop half way to helping her up Chloe comments "now that you know it's me are you not going to help me up anymore"
Seeing the smile on Chloe's face brings beca out of the trance like state she was in.
"uh, yeah..yep sorry here" before she even has time to blink Chloe is being hoisted up and on her feet
Up and on her feet Chloe has a chance to take a proper look at the girl in front of her, in her long black and green basketball shorts that end below her keen, in a tight black tank top and white running shoes, long black Adidas socks on with her hair tied up a pony tail with some lose strands framing her face perfectly. The moons light brushing against her strong jaw trailing down her nose and around her lips. Right now standing there with the moon light behind her Chloe can take in Baca's perfect features not knowing how she didn't see this until this moment.
"Are you alright there red" hearing Baca's voice broke Chloe from her thoughts
"Yeah totally I just... I just remembered I forgot my bag at Aubrey's house" Chloe was surprised by how quick she came up with that even though it's not a lie
"Yah I see... so is that why you're out here walking in the dark by yourself?" beca asked
"Pretty much, I was just on my way home from Aubrey's house I didn't realise how late it was, speaking of why are you running at this time"
Umm training" beca said this as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"Training? You don't have any equipment with you" Chloe said confused
"At the gym dude, running home is my cool down" hearing that beca ran all the way from the gym made Chloe's jaw drop.
The closest gym is like what a 15-20minuet car ride away it would take a while to get there and back. Chloe was amazed that this was her cool down if Chloe tried doing it she would be dead by the time she got home not to mention the work out that beca obviously did while there.
"I can't believe that you run all the way there and back, it's crazy. Poor Samson must be so tired" Chloe says bending down to be eye level with the beast of a dog. "Isn't that right boy, yeah it is, beca is such a meany for making you run all that way" it's like Samson knew what Chloe was talking about. The way he nodded his head and whined pushing his massive head in her hands.
"Mean? What!, alright whatever weirdo. I'm gonna head home then" beca doesn't even wait for a response before she starts to walk off.
"Hey wait up!"
On the way home Chloe dose all the talking just like the others times. Baca's not annoyed at it like she normally would be, she's happy to hear out Chloe's thoughts and opinions, to get a little bit more information on what makes Chloe, Chloe. Like how she loves to read on rainy days in front of the fire place, how her favourite flower is a daisy, that she would love to watch the sunset until the stars light up the sky. She also loves to talk about her brothers Caleb and Clarke their her role models. Caleb is studying to get a bachelor in engineering and Clarke got a basketball scholarship to the same collage as his brother.
It felt like time flew by when the girls were walking home together, before they knew it, they were both standing at Chloe's front door. Chloe felt as if it was the end of a first date both just standing there not really knowing what to say or do or if she should go in for a kiss.
But this is not a date and beca isn't even a lesbian or bi so she pushed those feelings to the furthest part of her brain. Opening her mouth to ask beca if she would maybe like to hang out tomorrow after school, the door flies open to reveal the one person Chloe actually dislikes- her sister Catherine.
Catherine is what would call a straight up bitch. But no one dose because to then she is the most lovely and innocent person to walk the earth even though she can crush someone's world in about 1.2 seconds, she isn't like the rest of the Beale family, she isn't nice or kind, she isn't friendly or approachable, she's just Catharine, she takes what she wants, when she want, who she wants and doesn't care about the people she is hurting. She can slap someone on the face and they would still love her all because she's pretty and puts on a fake smile that makes everyone melt.
She's the type of girl that's very pretty and knows it, she lives for when people stop when they see her walk past, how their mouth hangs open, how they literally have to shack their head as if to see that what they just saw was real. She just needs to flip her perfectly straight hear and people bow down to her. That's Catherine a using and manipulative bitch. Caleb's and Clarkes words not Chloe's.
Even though Chloe isn't a fan of her own sister she is such an angel that she can't bring herself to say something like that to someone, even if that someone is Catherine Beale.
"Chloe! For goodness sakes what's taking so long" the door fully open now Catherine sees beca standing there, in her big shorts, all sweaty and her messy hair "Chloe what did mum say about bringing strays to the house"
At first beca thought she was talking about Samson but he was down on the foot path waiting for her.
"You better watch your mouth bi-"before she can finish what she's about to say Chloe cuts in
"Beca please" Chloe slips her hand through Baca's arm so she's holding onto her bicep. "Can you please wait inside for me I'll be there in a sec" she directs this to Catherine"
"Fine, don't stay to close you might catch fleas Chloe" Catherine's face shows pure disgust towered beca, eyeing her up and down as if she's some mutt.
This being said kind of cut into beca, this is the first time seeing this girl and she thinks beca is some sort of stray that Chloe felt sorry for. Thinking that's probably why Chloe was so adamant to show her around. "She just feels sorry for you, you fucking moron she doesn't actually want to get to know you, you idiot. She didn't even say something when that bitch said you have fleas"
With the door shut Chloe faces beca with her hand still holding onto beca.
"Beca I'm so sorry I don't even know why she came out-" Chloe tries to apologises for her sister but doesn't get to finish.
"Forget it, I have to go home" beca starts to move down the stairs but Chloe's hand stops her.
"Beca just wait-"this time Chloe gets cut off by beca yanking her arm free from Chloe's grip.
"I said forget it!" at the bottom of the stairs already beca can see Chloe making a move to follow her "you better stay back Chloe you might catch fleas"
Chloe just stands there staring at the space beca just stood in, wondering what the heck just happened.
Exhibit A of how Catherine Beale crushes some ones world in the span of a minuet.
