I don't own pitch perfect
Chloe's POV
What is wrong with you? Was there something always wrong with you? But is just keeping up with you now. You wonder.
You slept with Beca. The one friend who had come as close as it gets. Even Aubrey didn't know everything. Or perhaps that was why it happened. Your facade is falling off. You are beginning to worry you won't be able to hold off much longer like this. Aubrey asked what was wrong. You say 'nothing.'
She is not buying it. You can see it in her expression. But she is not saying anything. Yet. Perhaps she is contemplating whether to let it be or push further.
'What is it Chlo..?' she gently asks. You swallow.
That nick name reminds you of Beca.
'I slept with her.'
'Who?' Aubrey asks, her brows furrowed.
'Beca.'
Her frown deepens.
'She is gay? I didn't know that.'
'Neither did I.'
'And I am not sure she did either' you murmur.
'What?' Aubrey asks.
'Nothing.' You repeat.
'Sorry Chloe, not to be rude or anything. But you have had casual hook ups before. Both with women and men. What is new about it?'
She is teasing you. A bit. Though, what she said was true. You never had issues with separating sex and emotions. Those were two entirety different things for you. Until now. Until her. You frown at the thought. Then shake your head to get rid off the thought.
'I didn't want to.' You say.
Aubrey's expression changes from playful to serious in a second.
'Did she.. Did she force on..'
You don't let her finish.
'God Aubrey.. No! Beca would never do that. She is such a sweet and caring person.'
Aubrey relaxes and a small smile form on her lips.
'You like her then.'
This startles you. Because the same question had been running through your head for a few days now. You were doing everything in your power not to acknowledge it.
'No.' You immediately answer making her rise her eyebrows.
'Okay... What is the problem then?'
'Nothing. I said everything is fine.' You say.
'Yeah, you did. But I don't believe you. I haven't seen you this low in a long time.'
In a long time? So she has seen you down before? When? You don't ask her, instead you say.
'Everything is fine Aubrey. Really.'
She looks at you still not convinced.
'Did she say anything?' she asks.
'No. I left.' You say.
Aubrey shakes her head but leave that at it.
'So.. You are moving out.' You begin a new conversation in the hope of not going into you and Beca further. And it works. Aubrey nods.
'Yes I am.. I can't believe it is happening.' She smiles. And you smile at her.
'Will you be okay, though?' she asks, genuinely worried.
You smile.
'Oh don't worry.. I'll be just fine. Don't worry about me. Maybe I would find a new roommate.'
You wink at her and she rolls her eyes.
And the next week Aubrey moves out leaving behind an empty house.
