Greetings everyone! Hope you are all doing good! And I bet you've all heard the news about Pitch Perfect 2 officially coming out in 2015! asdfghjkl;! I'm so excited. All I can do is hope that a lot of the original cast will be in it because I really love that cast! But anyway, here's yet another chapter! My apologies for grammar/spelling mistakes. Enjoy!
Stacie roamed around the party just enjoying herself while the night was young. She saw a lot of familiar faces but none in particular that really pulled her in for conversation. She took a seat on an empty couch and proceeded to take her phone out. Stacie wasn't one to be a anti-social at a party but this one was a little different seeing as she just wasn't as into it as she thought she was. "Wow, I didn't take you for the type to be glued to her phone at a party."said a voice. She turned around to see no one speaking to her. "I'm right here."the voice said again as she turned to see a man in front of her. Stacie was speechless with her mouth agape. In front of her was a very familiar tall, beefy man with beautiful eyes by the name of James. "Don't tell me you don't remember me? Its the bartender!"he said with hope. But hope was the last thing he needed from Stacie. Even if she wanted to forget him she couldn't have. His image, his name, his body even his delicates, his everything were burned into her head. Her mouth grew dry from being open for so long, and she closed it at some moment trying to muster up something to say.
"Wh-what're you doing here?" she took a seat next to her and tried to wrap an arm around her but she quickly tensed up and scooted away."I like a good party just as much as the next guy."
"You like other things as well don't you."she moved his arm off of her and stood up and started walking away but he reached for her arm in attempt to stop her.
"Aw, come on sweetheart. Don't be like that. Come on, let me show you a good time."he said placing his hands on her waist bringing her body closer to his.
"Don't touch me asshole!" Stacie immediately jerked away from him trying to keep her distance. "A good time? What the hell, you drugged me you douchebag!"
James chuckled to himself thinking this was a joke but Stacie was far from joking. "Come on babe, just let me show what I can do for you."He walked over to her again taking her waist this time with a harder grip. He kissed her neck while his hands roamed underneath her shirt until he took it off of her completely. Stacie tried to fight it but for some reason her body wouldn't move. Her brain was saying no but her body wasn't responding. "Stop! Get off me!" she yelled as she struggled. She looked around the room to see that no one was paying attention to what was happening. "Someone help! Get the hell off me!" She kept yelling but it was doing no help. Soon her vision became very blurred and everything around her started to become hazy and things were disappearing and that's when she finally woke up. She shot up from the bed breathing heavily having a light sweat on her forehead. "Oh my god," she breathed as she looked over and saw Aubrey laying next to her. She took a few breaths and then laid back down and snuggled up to the blonde and tried her best to fall back asleep.
As the sun peeked into the room through the window, it shined a light on a very peacefully asleep blonde and brunette. Unfortunately for the blonde, the sun was just enough to wake her up. Her eyes slowly fluttered open, a smiled implanted across her face as she took in her surroundings which was a certain brunette cuddled close to her. For a moment she just sat their embracing the warmth they shared as she began to think about what she now had and happy it made her. It had been quite some time since Aubrey had been in a relationship, good or bad but she had a feeling this one was destined to be good. There was just something about Stacie that she couldn't get enough, something about her made Aubrey's heart flutter every time they were together, something about her that gave Aubrey feelings she had never had before for anyone; feelings of love. She laughed quietly to herself at the thought of being in love with this girl but deep down it was what she was feeling. All could she do now was hope that the feelings were mutual. Suddenly she felt the other girl began to stir in the covers as she slowly but surely awoke from her slumber. "Good morning sleepyhead." Aubrey said softly with a kiss on her head.
"Moooorning..ahh"Stacie replied mid yawn. "Ughhh"she groaned as one hand clenched her stomach from oncoming pain. Her stomach felt as if it were being squeezed and twisted into knots.
Aubrey chuckled at her misery though she was unaware that it wasn't very fun for Stacie at all. "I know you're not a morning person but it's not that bad and it's not even that early."
"No, it's not that. I have a really bad cramp right now."she rolled over with her back facing Aubrey as she groaned some more into the pillow. "Why does Mother Nature hate me?"
Aubrey slid closer to her and put her head in the crook of her neck. "Oh, hush. No one not even Mother Nature could hate you. But you know what will make you feel better, my famous pancakes." She leaned in a planted a soft kiss on her cheek before rolling out of the bed completely. "There's Midol in the cabinet in the bathroom too if you want."
"I beg to differ."she complained. A smile managed to slide across her face as she felt the soft lips of the blonde touch her skin. "These better be some magical pancakes. If not that Midol is going to be my best friend. "she added as she slowly sat up.
"They will be." Aubrey responded before walking out the room. When she finally felt somewhat decent Stacie slid out of the bed and slowly walked to the bathroom. She opened the cabinet and before her was hopefully her lifesaver. She popped a few and hoped they would do the trick.
Back in the kitchen, Aubrey was cooking away trying to make sure these were indeed the best pancakes ever when she heard the front door and open and close. And within seconds, her best friend was in the kitchen. "Hey Aubr-oh my god are you making pancakes!?"
"I am. You came home just in time I guess." the blonde smiled as she continue mixing the batter.
"I guess so, and in that case, would you mind making enough for 3? Beca's here too. If you don't want to, I totally understand, we can just go get some that won't taste nearly as good as yours." Chloe asked in a nice pleading voice.
Aubrey sighed but smiled at her best friend. "Looks like I'm making for four, Stacie's here too."
"She stayed over? Aubrey Posen, you sly dog." Chloe smiled raising a brow at her friend. "I'll make some eggs and put some bacon in the oven too."
Aubrey laughed slightly and shrugged her shoulders a little. "What can I say, I guess I was just 'ready' last night." she air quoted referring to the conversation that they had a dinner last night.
Chloe stopped everything she was doing and stared at her best friend with wide eyes. "You had sex!?"she exclaimed.
"Shhh! The world doesn't need to know!"she said trying to calm her down. "Its not that big of a deal."
"You're right, its a huge deal! You're in like a full fledged relationship now. But aw! I'm so happy for you! No wonder, you're not complaining about having to cook for four." Chloe winked before she went to the fridge to grab some eggs.
Aubrey rolled her eyes playfully at her friend's words. "I know, and the best part is that I'm really happy. And, well..."she paused. "I think I love her."
Being even more shocked at these words, Chloe dropped two eggs. She had her mouth open to say something but nothing came out. Instead she walked over and hugged her best friend. "You're in love, Aubrey, oh my god! This is so great! Have you told her?"
Aubrey was a little surprised when she dropped the eggs but it was surprising news coming from someone like Aubrey. She hugged her back and then proceeded to go cleanup the broken eggs. "No, I haven't. I'm not sure how to. "
"Sometimes the right moment just comes and you know its time to say it. I think when people try making their own moments, that's when it gets really nerve-wracking. Don't push it, just let it happen."Chloe advised.
Aubrey actually thought that was pretty good advise, especially for someone like Aubrey who had a horrible nervous tick that resulted in something not so pretty. So she was going to wait.
A couple days later
After a long day of lecturing, Stacie's final class of the day was over. Just as she was about to leave the room she found a note in her book with her name on it. How it got there without her acknowledging it before, she had no idea, then again she never opened the book anyway. She opened the note and it read: Meet me at the big tree near the gazebo asap, come alone. At first she thought it might be from Aubrey but it seemed more creepy than romantic. She was very skeptical about going to meet some stranger alone but she decided to go anyway.
When she got to the tree, there were some people around but none of them seemed creepy enough to have left her this note. She waited about five minutes until she heard a voice. "Thanks for coming."a guy said as he appeared from behind the tree.
"No prob-,"she stopped herself as she drew a blank stare at the guy in front of her. It was him. He was standing in front of her. And this wasn't a dream. At that moment, she wanted to turn and run but her legs felt like they were stuck in cement. "What the hell do you want?"
"Listen, I know you probably hate me and you have every right to. I just want to apologize for what I did. I haven't stopped thinking about it and I know it was so, so wrong. Trust me, its not something I do to every girl at a party, that was actually the first time and I-.."she cut him off.
"Why the hell should I trust you, let along believe any of this crap? Do you really think I'm just going to up and accept your apology? God, guys are such pigs! You drugged me, hell you basically raped me. I could, actually, I should tell police." she went on.
"I know, that night I was a pig. I was trying to fit in with the frat guys and I wasn't getting lucky with any girls that night so I needed help. But that was wrong. And I'm sorry." he sighed. "If you want to tell the police, I deserve it. I've felt pretty guilty these past few weeks. And I knew the only way to make it go away was to apologize and to tell you something else..."
Stacie wasn't believing any of this crap, she had been with plenty of guys who played the innocent act and she wasn't about to start buying it from this guy though she was beginning to soften up a little bit as she learned of his guilty feelings. But that didn't change what he did. "You've got about one more minute of my time."
He took a deep breath and shoved his hands in his pocket. "Well, I um, found a thing on my junk. A, uh. A wart. The girl I was with before you wasn't exactly, clean. But I didn't know that. So I just thought I should tell you, so you can get checked out. I deserve it, but you don't. I don't know if that'll help any but..yeah. That's it I guess."
Stacie's eyes fell to the ground once he told her. Her mind went blank, she had nothing to say but she could feel tears coming to her eyes. And slowly one escaped down her face. How could this have happened, why her, why did something bad always have to happen to her once she finally had something good. After all the sex she had in the years, it was bound to happen once right? No, it wasn't because she was always safe and careful but this time was different and it wasn't even her fault. And that's what hurt her the most. It wasn't her fault. She had no more words for him, so she just slowly walked away as more tears streamed down her face.
She walked all the back to her dorm and once she got there she collapsed on the bed and cried. She still couldn't believe this. She didn't know what to do besides make an appointment to go see a doctor and hope for the best. Soon her phone vibrated and it was a message from Aubrey. Seeing her name light up on her phone only made her sad knowing that she was going to have to tell her but she wasn't ready for her reaction but she also knew she couldn't be around her without her knowing. So she responded to the text asking Aubrey to come to her dorm. Luckily and unluckily, she was on campus and would be there in five minutes or so. In the meantime Stacie went to the bathroom to wash her face and fix her makeup in hopes of disguising the fact that she had been crying. After she had did a sufficient job she heard a knock. She took a deep breath and opened the door revealing the happy blonde. "Hey babe," Aubrey greeted leaning in to kiss her girlfriend.
Stacie kissed her back passionately knowing this could be very well be the last kiss they shared. "Come in."she said grabbing her hand and leading her inside. "Sit, if you like."she said patting the seat next to her.
Aubrey took the seat and looked over at Stacie. "So, what's up?"
"I ran into someone today...and um."she paused. This was hard for her to say, hell it was hard enough to hear earlier. "I got some news, and I'm not sure how to tell you." She tried looking her in the eye but as the minute she did, she felt tears stinging in her eyes. She stared at her palms that were starting to become clammy.
Aubrey's stomach became heavy and her heart started to drop as her mind ran wild as to what she might have to say. "Well whatever it is, you can tell me."she took Stacie's hand and squeezed it softly.
Stacie took a deep breath again and wiped a tear away. "I..um, talked to the guy that.."she choked up. It was difficult to talk about what happened in the past but this made it ten times harder. "The guy that drugged me. He apologized and stuff."she said as more tears fell down her face. "And he also said that he got a genital wart from someone he was with before me."she sniffled and took her hand from Aubrey's grasp to cover her face. "So now its possible that I might get one too... I just feel so dirty. Well, I guess I am dirty, a dirty, good for nothing slut. So there it is, go ahead and leave. You don't have to say anything, I don't blame you for not wanting to be with me, but I really can't handle hearing anymore bad things today." With that she stood up and went back over to her bed and let the tears continue to fall.
"Whoa, Stac, wait. I'm not going anywhere." To say that Aubrey was surprised was an understatement, she wasn't expecting anything of this nature and Stacie's expectations of her were surprising as well. But she could see that the girl was going through a lot and she needed her now more than ever and she intended to be there. She walked over to the bed and took a seat next to her wrapping both of her arms around her pulling her in close. "I'm really sorry that this happened to you, and that you have to deal with this but I'm not going to let you go through it alone. I'm here for you, for anything and everything." she kissed the top of Stacie's head. "And don't you ever call my girlfriend a dirty, good for nothing slut because she is far from that and I would never leave her because well, I love her."
Stacie perked up a bit as she listened to Aubrey talk, it made her feel slightly better but the last thing she said made it seem like everything was going to be okay. "Yo-you love me?" she hugged her girlfriend tightly not wanting to let go. "I love you too." she pulled back and wiped the tears away from her face with a then leaned in a planted a soft kiss on her lips, and while keeping their foreheads touching she smiled again. "How did I get so lucky to have you in my life."
"I'm so happy to hear you say that. I was so nervous about saying it because I wasn't sure you were feeling it and I didn't want to push an-"she stopped talking as Stacie cut her off with a kiss.
"You're cute when you ramble."Stacie giggled.
Aubrey blushed slightly. "Maybe I should ramble more often then." She smiled connecting their lips again.
From this point, it seemed like everything was going to be okay. Stacie felt a little better knowing she had Aubrey by her side and Aubrey felt better after saying big l-o-v-e. Things were definitely looking up from here for both of the girls and it could only get better from here, at least that's what they'd like to think.
And there's chapter 7. That was interesting to write. I really went on a roller coaster with this one. I wrote this chapter in at least 3 different versions because I kept getting ideas and then I would forget details and some things flowed better than others. Long story short, this was the final version so there it is.
That's that, question for all your readers out there. I was thinking about either doing a Staubrey one shot or two shot for Valentine's day or I could add it to this story. Which do you think I should do?
Also just a big thanks for reading and reviewing! I really appreciate you guys!
