3am

Stacie was jolted awake by a loud bang followed by an equally loud thud. She quickly reached for her phone seeing that it was 3am, she slowly got out of bed and pressed an ear to her closed door. She heard slight rustling and someone mumbling incoherent curses, Stacie knew only one person that did that. With a groan she opened her door and flicked on the hallway light. She walked down the hall and saw her best friend and roommate Beca leaning against the kitchen counter clearly drunk.

"Becs come on." Stacie groaned walking over to the smaller girl.

Beca stumbled as she turned around "Heyyy Stacieeeee." Beca said with a light giggle.

Stacie chuckled at the smaller girl who kept stumbling with each step "Let's get you to bed." Stacie said picking up the smaller girl bridal style.

Stacie took Beca to her room seeing as she was probably going to be having to nurse her back anyway. She put Beca on her bed before heading to Beca's room to get her some clothes. When Stacie came back, she found Beca calling someone.

"Hey hey hey, no drunk calling." Stacie said snatching the phone looking at the call log.

"Hey! Give it!" Beca said lounging for the phone only to have Stacie nudged her right back down.

"Jesus Beca." Stacie said scrolling through the call log "Why are you calling past flings for?" Stacie asked looking over to her friend.

Beca shrugged "I don't know."

Stacie sat down next to Beca "You got to stop doing this Beca."

"I'll take what I can get." Beca replied back.

This wasn't new for Beca to do. Beca always struggled with her insecurities and anxiety. Going back to middle school Beca was always seen as an outcast due to her style, looks and interest. She always struggled to fit in and often times was lonely and growing up that turned into just wanting to find love however she could.

"Hey, listen, you don't need these hookups or random people in your phone. Becs you have to stop looking for validation from those people." Stacie said wrapping an arm around the smaller girl.

"I try to do that but some days I can't help it. Some days I feel like I'm spiraling out of control and there's nothing I can do to prevent it. Some days I just want someone to say something good about me regardless if it's fake or not." Beca said.

Stacie tightened the embrace and rested her head atop of Beca's "I understand Becs, but sweetie you don't need those people telling you anything. This isn't the right way to deal with this and you know it. Like I've always told you since day one, if you need someone you call or come see me. You are an amazing human being who deserves the world."

"Thanks, Stace." Beca replied.

"It's what I'm here for little one." Stacie said with a smile.

Beca sighed "I just wished I didn't have to deal with this or at least be stronger you know."

"You are strong Beca. Everyone hits bumps in the road every now and then." Stacie said back.

"I seem to hit a fuck ton of speed bumps then. I don't even know what to do with me sometimes so how can I expect other people to? I've literally let all this turn me into my worst enemy." Beca said playing with the hem of Stacie's tank top.

"Come on now, I know what to do with you. Haven't I proved that time after time?" Stacie joked "But in all seriousness we all become our worst enemy when we get lost in our thoughts and minds. You just need someone to pick you up and get you out that state when it happens. That's what I'm here for, to help you see and realize just how dam amazing, talented, beautiful and funny you are." Stacie said before taking a breath "What you're doing right now is never going to help you. This battle you have with your insecurities and anxiety takes time to overcome."

"I've been battling this since dam near middle school Stace." Beca interrupted.

"I'm very much aware of that. But you got to be patient with yourself if you want to overcome it. Some people deal with this for half their lives before getting over it and some deal with it forever, but they manage to look past it and be happy. You can overcome this if you just go about it the right way. Surround yourself with people who truly care and love you. People who see just how fucking awesome you are. Searching for other people's opinions the way you do is the wrong way of going about things." Stacie said.

Beca took all that in and nodded "Alright, You're right."

"Good now change and I'll go get you some water and Advil for when that headache kicks in." Stacie said planting a kiss on Beca's head before heading to the kitchen.

When Stacie came back to her room, she found Beca laying bed staring at the ceiling. She places the water and Advil on Beca's side before climbing in bed herself. Beca instantly curled up to Stacie's side causing Stacie to wrap an arm around the smaller girl.

"Thank you for always being there." Beca said sleepily.

"Of course, Beca. I always will." Stacie said back.
