"Beca?" Aubrey said with a shaky hand reaching towards Beca.

"Don't touch me! Please!" Beca whined.

Aubrey let Beca lay in her tears while she tried to figure out what to do. Beca was clearly unstable and she wanted to help. So, she reached down one last time to comfort her girlfriend,

"Beca sweetie? It's me Aubrey. Remember me?"

Beca finally peeked through her hands to see the woman,

"Aubrey?" She asked puzzled.

"Yes, Beca it's just me." This seemed to get Beca calmed down, only until Beca realized Andy was watching,

"Please! Go away, he's watching!" Beca cried.

Chloe heard the cries across the parking lot and ran over to see Aubrey who was a mess and then Beca laying down in a ball shaking in shock,

"What did you do to her Bree!?"

"Me?!" I came to see why she was always flaking out on me and she just lost it. I have no idea what to do, she's crying and screaming, and I'm just suppose to leave her here alone?" I don't know what to do." Aubrey said running her hands through her hair.

"Damn. Here, have one, it'll help calm your nerves." Chloe said handing Aubrey a cigarette. The blonde didn't hesitate, she would try anything right now.

"Damn Bree, is she ok? Is she asleep?" Chloe asked concerned.

Aubrey flipped, she wasn't about to let her girl die on her while she smoked a cigarette,

"She's breathing. Should we take her to the hospital?"

"Yeah. Whatever she's hiding, hopefully we can find out about it at the hospital."

They carefully placed Beca into the car and drove to the hospital. Chloe ran ahead and got a wheelchair and Aubrey wheeled her up to the front desk.

"How can we help you?" The desk lady asked.

"Yeah I'm concerned about my girlfriend here. The past couple of weeks she's been coming home beat up and she's become very distant. She would hardly speak, eat or do anything. This afternoon she flipped out on me, she's become skittish and paranoid. She finally cried herself to sleep and I am just worried there is something wrong." Aubrey said in a vast ramble.

The woman looked worried which scared Aubrey more,

"Ok ma'am if you will fill out these forms, we will get her checked out. It is possible that she is suffering from physical and sexual abuse.

"You mean like rape?" Chloe asked in shock.

"Yes ma'am. We will know for sure after we run test, but first we need her awake."

Beca was placed in her room and finally started to wake up,

"Where am I?"

The older women stood outside and entered after hearing Beca speak,

"Hey sleepy head, sorry you're in the hospital." Chloe replied.

Aubrey stepped out around Chloe to hug Beca, but Beca surged away and shook her head. Aubrey started to cry, why was Beca being like this.

"Beca it's me Aubrey. Your girlfriend, what's wrong?"

Beca never budged, she wanted to flee and get as far away from the blonde as possible. Flashbacks of Andy assaulting her started to fill her mind and she flipped out again. Aubrey fell to the floor and cried. The doctor had come in by this time and eventually got Beca to calm down,

"Miss Mitchell, you're ok, you're in the hospital. I'm your doctor, Dr. Marlow. I need you to calm down, so we can run some test ok?"

"What kind of test?" Beca sniffled.

"Well its evident by your chart that you have been in a few recent fights. Bruised ribs, broken nose, dislocated jaw, cuts, bruises all in the past month. I do need to ask a question, if you don't mind."

"Ok" Beca replied.

"We know about the physical abuse. Have you been assaulted in any sexual way as well?"

Beca's eyes started to swell, one lonely tear escaped, and she mustered the energy to reply "Yes."

"Do you know who did this to you?"

Beca didn't say a word. She was not ready to deal with the truth.

"Very well, we are going to run a rape kit on you to see if we can find any evidence of your attacker."

Chloe drug Aubrey out into the hallway so the test could be done,

"What kind of girlfriend am I Chlo? Why couldn't I see it? She must be so scared."

"Aubrey Posen! You're the best girlfriend ever, why would you say that."

"She doesn't want anything to do with me! She keeps screaming that I need to leave or else he will see…. Wait what?"

"Bree what are you talking about?"

"Today at the car, Beca flipped out and fell down. She yelled out, "Please don't hurt me, I swear I'll leave her alone." What does that mean?"

"It sounds to me that whoever is attacking her knows you really well and doesn't want Beca around you."

"Yeah but who would want…" Aubrey paused and started shaking in anger.

"Bree? You're scaring me." Chloe said concerned.

"Andy." Aubrey stated.

"Andy? How could you possibly know it was Andy?"

"Think about it Chloe! The restaurant? How he acted around her. All the bullshit he has put her through over the years. It was all because Beca liked me. And I guess when I dumped him for her, he finally snapped."

"Oh my god we need to do something!"

Aubrey ran into the room and stopped the doctor from starting the test. A police officer was in the room now and stopped Aubrey,

"Miss, you must step outside while we conduct this test.

"There is no need! I know who raped Beca! And she does too! She's just afraid to admit it!" Aubrey yelled.

The officer looked to Beca,

"Is this true ma'am? You can save us a lot of time and tell us. It'll give us a head start on looking for the perp."

"Beca laid still a moment longer, looking for the strength to say the name.

"It was Andy McCallister."

"Ok ma'am, I'll need to ask a few questions and file a report. Then we will look for the young man."

Aubrey stepped back outside and sat down with Chloe.

"Did she come clean?" Was it Andy?" Chloe asked.

"Yes, she confirmed it. She's answering questions right now."

Half an hour passed, and the girls were allowed back in the room. Beca was still skittish, but eventually warmed back up to Aubrey. Another hour had passed before Beca would speak,

"Bree?"

"Yes sweetie?" Aubrey said rushing to her side.

"When can I go home?"

Aubrey giggled, "I think they want to keep you overnight. You are extremely dehydrated."

Beca huffed, "Ok. Where did Chloe go?"

"Stacie swung by and she went with her to get us all food."

"Food?"

"Yes Beca. Food, something you haven't been eating."

Aubrey frowned, she didn't mean to hurt Beca like that,

"Beca I'm sorry, I'm just concerned for you is all."

"It's ok really. I'm starving to death actually."

"I talked to your dad" Aubrey said unexpectedly.

"What? Why?"

"I told him what happened."

"And?"

"He said he would be here, but he and Sheila are getting on a plane to Vegas."

"Psh, figures. It's funny, every time he leaves, I get attacked."

Aubrey's gut fell through her ass, she had no idea what the woman had to suffer through,

"Well babe, you're staying with me, where you'll be safe."

"I've heard that before." Beca said unamused.

"What?"

"You promised me! You promised if Andy ever threatened to hurt me, you would be there to kick his ass. I cried and cried praying you would show up any second to help but it only made it worse because you weren't there!" Beca snapped.

"Beca." Aubrey stopped to find a suitable answer, "I'm so sorry, I had no idea this was happening and it's not like you ever told me."

"How could I? I was scared to be around you. He told me to stay away and I didn't. I couldn't."

"Why couldn't you?"

"Because I love you Aubrey!"

Aubrey smiled and grabbed Beca's hand, "I love you too."

Stacie and Chloe came marching in with food, panic stricken.

"What's wrong Red?" Beca asked.

"We overheard the cop downstairs on his phone, Andy is missing."

Beca tensed up, "No! No! He knows! He's coming for me!"

"Beca! Babe, calm down, I'm here and I'm not leaving you, now please eat. If he wants you, he will have to get through me…"
