Aubrey knew Beca was staying over every night, she also knew that Beca and Chloe were trying to hide it from her but the more mornings Chloe woke before her and was still smiling Aubrey knew. She was also sick of it. Not of their sneaking around, but of the fact that they wouldn't just grow a pair and ask the other out. What bugged her more was that Chloe still kept Tom around when Beca wasn't there some nights. Tom was a disgusting example of the male population, he treated Chloe well enough but he would always hang around after and it was awkward not to mention he would eat everything they had. Aubrey could hear the two women talking in Chloe's room through her wall, it was so obvious that they liked one another and she had no idea why they didn't see it. She had even spoken with Beca tonight about how Chloe really wasn't with the scum boy but the girl didn't seem to make a move yet. So Aubrey officially decided that she had to help her best friend and the Alt girl, she called in help from Fat Amy who had a plan that would be put into motion early the next morning. Aubrey fell asleep with a smile on her face knowing it would be the last night of wanting to pound the two girls' heads in.

Aubrey walks back into the apartment with Jesse a smile plastered on her face laughing as he tells her about Benji agreeing to help.
"He was so excited about it I thought it was like Benji the dog got a bone!" Jesse chuckles and Aubrey damn near swoons but has to stop because he is a Treble. They both turn to see Chloe's door open and Beca come stumbling out, the girl looks up at them like a deer caught in head lights.
"Jesse?"
"Don't worry Becs, your dreamin go fall back into bed with that red hot redhead." He grins and Aubrey grins glad that he knew something to say.
"She is hot…" Beca looks back into the room before starting to walk toward them. "But I can't let Aubrey know I'm here."
"Um Beca… little too late." Jesse says and points to Aubrey standing right next to him.
"Damn… I always beat you up… I'm going to bed." Beca yawns and turns to walk back to bed, Jesse catches her before she falls and helps her down the hall and back into Chloe's room.
"Did she drink last night?"
"Nope that's Beca in the morning. I've run into her before, she never remembers it." Aubrey chuckles and Jesse smiles shaking his head.
"Alright so to the list of songs you want to add to the bar's book." Jesse pulls out his laptop and starts scrolling through writing down songs he thinks Beca would sing. Aubrey watches him concentrate on the task at hand, he was finally getting over the fact that Beca was madly in love with Chloe but he still had feelings for her, it was written all over his face. Aubrey is only pulled from her thoughts when her phone buzzes from getting a text.
'Bella Bitch there is officially one Tom tied up from bugging Chloe tonight.' The text was from Fat Amy and Aubrey knew she had placed Lilly in charge of that minor detail. She taps a quick response.
'he is still breathing right?'
'No clue, didn't ask.' Aubrey sighs and Jesse looks at her.
"Everything alright on the other fronts?"
"Tom might be dead."
"You left Lilly in charge of dealing with a human!" Jesse gasps making Aubrey laugh, apparently Lilly was feared in more than just their group.
"I didn't, Fat Amy did."
"That's alright Benji can check on him before work, I already told him to do so before I left."
"You really do think far ahead don't you?" Aubrey asks extremely impressed by him. Jesse grins and nods, he nudges her with an elbow making Aubrey nearly giggle at the little contact.
"I do." He grins and hands his list over to Aubrey. "That should work for Beca. I added a few random songs because it'll be odd to have a bunch of love songs at a bar." He smiles before grabbing his stuff to leave. "See you there tonight right?"
"Of course." Aubrey smiles and Jesse walks out.
"You like him." Chloe says scaring Aubrey. Aubrey looks over at her friend who is leaning against the door way smiling at her.
"I do not, he is a Treble."
"So?"
"There are rules." Aubrey squeaks turning red, she hates her body for betraying her.
"Brey, just because Bumper is a complete ass hole doesn't mean all of them are, please don't stand in the way of your own happiness." Chloe says grabbing Aubrey's hands as she begs her best friend to use her brain.
"I could tell you the same Chlo." Aubrey snaps, immediately regretting it. "I'm sorry Chloe, I'm just strung out."
"It's ok I still love you." Chloe smiles kissing her friend's forehead. Aubrey sighs as Chloe walks back to her room.

Beca receives a text a few hours later from Chloe saying the Bellas would be at the local bar for the evening, she's beyond tired from a long day of classes but Chloe basically begs her to join them. Soon after she gets texts from the rest of the Bellas telling her she better show up no matter what. Even Lilly texted her and threatened bodily harm if she didn't show. Beca grabs another red bull before she walks out the door to join them.

Aubrey is nervous, she has to push her best friend or Beca into making a move. Considering Beca is closer and already considers her a bitch she puts her sites on her. As she walks over Fat Amy waves her off and sits next to the Alt girl, Aubrey can hear the girl pressure Beca into singing and Aubrey looks over to Jesse who is at the bar giving him a thumbs up. Jesse leans across the bar and whispers something to Benji, the boy smiles and gives Aubrey a thumbs up back.
"Hey what did Lilly do to Tom?" Aubrey asks Fat Amy when the girl walks up to her.
"Tied him to a chair and invited Stacie over, the rest I really didn't need to know." Fat Amy says and walks away.
A minute before Beca starts singing and Chloe drooling Aubrey walks up to her best friend.
"Gezz will you just ask her out already Chloe? You aren't hiding it from anyone." Aubrey yells and automatically feels bad because the way Chloe looks at her it reminds her of a kicked puppy who just wants to be loved.
"What?" Chloe asks and Aubrey keeps the scowl on her face somehow.
"Never mind Beca is about to sing." Aubrey growls and its killing her inside to treat her best friend like this but it is for the greater good.
"I know this song!" Chloe grins and Aubrey rolls her eyes, of course she does, Chloe knows a lot of songs.
"Yeah, well listen to it." She snaps and has to walk a few feet away because it really hurts being so mean to someone who is always so sweet to her. Thankfully Fat Amy takes over for her.
"Really well." She whispers into Chloe's ear and Aubrey has to stop a chuckle from escaping. Chloe says something else but Aubrey ignores it.
"She's singing to you. Will you just suck it up and ask her out please? I'm so tired of the lame excuses and you two dancing around one another. Chloe I am begging you, as your best friend I think you two will have something amazing together." Aubrey watches shocked as Chloe nods and runs up to Beca, she says something and kisses her. Aubrey lets out a breath she didn't know she was holding and grins at her best friend and the Alt girl. "Finally! Now can you two actually focus on working for nationals?" Aubrey yells before turning to walk out of the bar, she can see Fat Amy and Cynthia Rose exchange money. She sneaks a look over at Jesse and grins at him giving him a thumbs up. The boy smiles back and returns the thumbs up, it warms Aubrey's heart.
