Chapter Eleven
A few weeks had passed and Chloe was pushing her shopping cart through the aisles when Aubrey called her.
"Hey Aubrey, its been so long since you called."
"I know, sorry. Its been so good here seeing the family and I got offered a job to run the arts department at a school not far from home so it looks like I'll be moving here permanently."
"Wow that's so amazing, congratulations!" Chloe was stunned.
"Yeah, my dad is friends with the principal and he came over for dinner then a few days later he offered me a position. I'll be coming back next week to finalize moving my things and putting the apartment up on the market. So how are things with you?"
"Things are great, business is really picking up at them moment." She didn't know whether to share the news about Beca or not.
"Have you met anyone since I've been gone?" There it was, the inevitable Aubrey always found a way to pin her.
"Um, yeah. I have and it's going really perfect actually."
"Who is he? Have I met him? Yay I'm so happy for you." Aubrey squealed with excitement.
"Aub, c'mon. You know it's not a guy." Chloe breathed waiting for the lecture.
"Oh. So you're still in the lesbian faze then. I was hoping you'd be over that by now." Aubrey snapped and Chloe got defensive.
"Aubrey, I told you all those years ago that I was gay. You have never accepted me for who I am and put my feelings down to a phase that I'll get over. Well I'm not going to get over this anytime soon. I found someone who cares about me so much and she makes me so happy. So don't you dare tell me I'll get over it because if someday she asks me to marry her I would like you to be at my wedding and I want you to be happy for me." Chloe waited as silence filled the conversation.
"I'm sorry Chloe. I just can't understand how you could feel that way for a woman." Aubrey was very quiet and shocked at Chloe's outburst.
"I don't know why I have these feelings but for the first time in years I feel like a normal person and not like a freak."
"I don't want this to ruin us Chloe, but you have to understand that to grow up with you being a beautiful girl who had every guys attention back at school just to throw it away to be with a dyke, its just hard to grasp."
"I understand how you feel but this is who I am and I tried so hard to like guys but it felt so wrong."
"I want you to be happy."
"I am Aubrey." Chloe smiled.
"Well, I have to go to a meeting but I'll call you when I'm coming back and we can have lunch."
"Sounds great, I miss you."
"I miss you too, bye."
