"Beca are you oka-" Chloe was surprised to see Beca wasn't the one crying. Instead it was Aubrey who had her head in Beca's lap, while the brunette slowly ran her hands through her hair. A small part of her felt a slight pang of jealousy as usually she was the one to comfort Aubrey whenever she was down.

"She told her father that she didn't want to be a lawyer and she also came out as bisexual to him. Suffice to say, he's livid and apparently on his way down here this weekend to bring her back home and "fix" her." Beca answered the burning question on Chloe's mind before she even had the time to formulate the question.

"What does he mean by fix you? You're not a household appliance Bree, you're a human being, and more important his DAUGHTER! He should respect your life choices." Chloe said, she looked in Aubrey's eyes and saw the lifelessness in them and it broke her heart.

"Stacie, can you stop eavesdropping and come in here please?" Beca said casually. Stacie walked in seconds later, a clear blush across her face from being caught. "Sorry about that."

"It's fine, can you stay here with Aubrey please? I need to talk to Chloe alone for a minute." Beca asked

"Yeah no problem Becs." Stacie replied and took Beca's place on the bed. "Hate to watch you go, but love to watch you leave." Stacie teased behind Beca

"You're such a weirdo Stacie." Beca smiled at the tall brunette before taking Chloe's hand and leading her into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. "I know we haven't been on the best of terms lately Chloe, but I'm really worried about Aubrey. If her dad comes, he's gonna bully her into going back home with him and who knows what he'll do to her." Beca knew just how influential General Posen was to Aubrey and whenever he was around the strong, confident Aubrey Posen she grew to care about disappeared all too quickly.

"You're right Becs, we need to figure out a plan of attack because I'm not ready to lose my best friend… Wait what about sectionals? You said he was coming down this this weekend right? How are we gonna be able to help Bree if we're performing in Atlanta?"

"Well we only need one captain there, and since I'm still on the handicapped list, I figured you could finally take the lead. I'll stay with Aubrey when her dad arrives." Beca reasoned

"What if he tries anything, like violent. Aubrey would never lift a finger at her father and I don't want you getting hurt. It's better if we are both here for her, that way wh-"

"NO Chloe! You're not staying with us!" Beca shouted. She could see the fear in Chloe's eyes from her sudden outburst and she immediately went over to the girl and placed her hands gently on her shoulders to try and calm her down.

"Im sorry for yelling at you. I know how close you are with Aubrey and her family. You and I both know her father is gonna want someone's head for this, and I'm not gonna let you be that person. Please Chloe, please just trust me on this one. I know I'm asking for a lot here, but I need you to trust me okay?"

Chloe wrapped her arms around Beca's waist tightly, nuzzling the inside of her neck. "Just be careful, okay?" Very few people knew of Aubrey's father and his anger problems. She knew Beca could handle herself, but with a banged up wrist who knew what would happen if General Fitzgerald Posen got his hands on her.

"Think of this as a good thing Chloe. You finally get to lead the Bella's into competition and not only that, you get to take the lead on a freaking Taylor Swift song, I mean your life rocks right now Red! So don't worry about Aubrey and I, we'll be fine."

"I miss this Beca….. I miss us just being able to talk like this without any awkward tension."

"And there you go getting all sappy on me Red." Beca smirked at the older girl and received a slap on the arm for it. "Hey, I was just kidding, I've missed talking to you too. But I'll never admit it out loud ever again though." Beca walked out of the bathroom and headed back to her room, Chloe following closely behind her.

"Glad to see you guys didn't kill each other. It would be a shame if I couldn't see that rack at least one more time before I died Beca." Beca blushed furiously and started to cough to try and cover up her flustered state. Stacie loved to catch Beca off guard with sexually charged comments like that. It was the only time Beca's façade of pure confidence seemed to crack.

"And here I thought you loved me for my charming personality. I am hurt by your superficial feelings for me." Beca feigned hurt and would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for the big shit-eating grin on her face. She went over to her bed and sat down on the other side of Aubrey. She had her head on Stacie's shoulder and looked so dejected. Beca wrapped her arm around Aubrey's waist and placed her head on her shoulder.

Chloe couldn't help but feel like the odd man out. Her best friend was miserable and she wasn't the one consoling her. Granted Aubrey and Beca had grown quite close over the past year, but one year didn't come close to the ten that she and Aubrey had between them. She felt a few tears run down her face, but she continued to let them fall. She never realized how miserable her best friend had been for a whole year and she hated herself for not seeing it.

She felt a thumb caress her cheek and she looked up to see Beca standing right in front of her. "Stacie and I are gonna clear out so you and Aubrey can have some time alone. If you want you two can sleep in here tonight and Emily and I will just crash in yours and Stacie's room." Beca offered. She knew Chloe was beating herself up inside and she still felt bad about yelling at her in the bathroom.

Chloe stood up quickly and wiped her eyes. "Thanks Beca, for everything. I know you try to act all badass and-"

"Hey! I am a badass and you know it, but I know what you were gonna say and you're welcome Chloe. I'll see you in the morning." Before Beca could walk away, Chloe's arms were wrapped around her neck and squeezed tighter than she probably should have.

"You're the sweetest badass I know Mitchell." Chloe heard Beca chuckle in her ear and she felt the DJ's arms wrap around her waist. "And you're the sappiest dork I know Beale."

Beca released her grip on Chloe and gave her one last smile before walking out and heading down to Stacie's room. When she got there, Emily was sitting on Chloe's bed writing in her journal. "Hey Em, whatcha doing?" The young girl's head immediately shot up and she threw her notebook aside and engulfed Beca in a tight hug.

"Oh my god Beca, I was so worried. Are you okay? Is Aubrey okay? Can I do anything to help?" The questions came out of Emily's mouth like word vomit.

Beca could see the worried look in Emily's eyes. It warmed her heart knowing how much she cared about people. Instead of answering any of her questions, she let her lips do the talking and pressed them against Emily's. It was becoming harder and harder to keep things tame with Emily. It was like the young girl's lips sent shockwaves to every hormone in her body.

Beca removed her lips abruptly and smirked at the adorable groan that left Emily's lips. "And to answer your previous questions, Yes, yes, and you're doing it right now." Beca answered.

Emily smiled and pulled Beca onto the bed with her. "Something tells me you're gonna need a lot of help tonight." Emily grabbed Beca's chin and leaned in close enough to feel Beca's labored breaths on her lips.

"Oh you have no idea Em." Beca grabbed Emily by the waist and laid her down. She closed the distance between them and recaptured Emily's lips in a passionate kiss. What was this young girl doing to her?
