Becca could feel something prodding her shoulder, over and over again. She gradually creaked her eyes open, before shutting them tightly again due to the bright light seeping through the curtains.

Groaning, she reached out her hand to her shoulder only to be met with someone slapping it hard.

"Ow what the fuck" Becca sat up now as she gathered her bearings.

This isn't my room, oh yeah that's right…

"Finally, just because you look like a hobbit doesn't mean you have to have the sleeping habits of one! Get your ass out of bed Becca!" Aubrey demanded to Becca.

"Shit, do you have to be so abrupt? Jesus Christ Aubrey" Becca replied as the memories of last night started to creep back in to her mind.

"Well it's not my fault you lost your apartment keys, I didn't exactly want you to stop at mine but here you are, shit happens doesn't it" Aubrey spoke as she left the room.

The brunette pulled the bed covers up to her chin as she rested her head on them, the feeling she hated was still there. Becca was still confused why the blonde was being so nice to her when Chloe was her best friend.

"Get your shit together and come out here. Oh and please for the love of god put some clothes on" the blonde shouted through to Becca.

Becca looked down to see she was wearing a baggy t-shirt and shorts, she quickly grabbed her clothes and began to get changed. She sat back down on the bed as she scraped her hair in to a bun, then reaching for her phone.

*4 text messages Chloe*

*5 missed called Chloe*

Becca's stomach dropped, she was nowhere near ready to speak to the red head, never mind seeing her. It was all still so raw to her, she had never been this hurt since Amber.

Cautiously Becca began opening the text messages

*Becs where did you go? Xxxx*

*Helloooo? I've tried calling, why aren't you answering? I'm worried xxxx*

*Seriously Bec, are you really not gonna talk to me after what just happened?*

*Have I done something wrong?...please Becca xxxxxxx*

Becca couldn't help but feel a twang in her stomach at the last text message, as much as she was hurting she couldn't help but feel guilty at how sad the red head sounded on the last text.

She quickly placed her phone back in her pocket and walked out to the kitchen to join Aubrey. The blonde was busy making coffee, Becca quietly sat down at the kitchen table as she crossed her arms and stared off in to space.

Aubrey placed a mug in front of her and took a seat opposite the brunette.

"So…how you feeling today?" The blonde sounded a lot friendlier than she did 10 minutes ago, Becca looked up to see the genuine look on her face.

"Erm…pretty tired but I'm sure this will help" Becca replied as she took a sip of coffee from her mug.

Aubrey placed her mug down on the table and began to stare at Becca

"You know that's not what I mean Mitchell, have you spoken to her?" Aubrey questioned, she didn't even have to say her name. Both girls knew who she was referring to.

"No…she's text and called a couple of times but...I haven't replied" Becca took another sip "I don't really want to..." Becca mumbled.

"Becca I know it's gonna be hard, but you at least need to hear her out" Aubrey tried to reason with the small brunette.

Becca looked up to meet Aubrey's eyes "What exactly do you mean? She is in a relationship. She's engaged. She's happy. There's nothing left to say, except I'm an idiot" she shook her head, looking down.

Becca hated letting people in, this is exactly why she avoided it. She was always the one left hurt, although this time felt so much worse than the others.

"Becca" Aubrey reached for the brunettes hand, Becca almost flinched at the contact catching her off guard.

"You are not an idiot, don't for one second think you are the only one who thought there was more between you and Chloe. She is my best friend I know her better than anyone else, she was…sorry IS on the same page as you. As much as I hate to admit it, when she's with you she's happy…and I mean genuinely happy Becca" Aubrey moved her hand back off Becca's as she sipped her coffee.

Becca hadn't blinked the whole time Aubrey gave her speech, she couldn't believe what the blonde was saying to her.

"W..what hang on are you being serious?" Becca stammered out.

"Dixie Chick serious! I don't talk shit about my best friend" Aubrey was looking straight at the brunette.

Okay she's being serious

"Well thanks for yano…being there for me. Letting me sleep over, I know I'm not your most favourite person in the world" Becca offered to the blonde.

Aubrey smiled "It's fine…and you're not the worst person I suppose. But please don't be mistaken Becca, Chloe is my everything and no matter what I will have her back always. Even if she is being an ass" Aubrey finished the rest of her coffee and stood up walking towards the kitchen sink.

Becca looked over at Aubrey, realising she wasn't such a hard ass as she made out, it put Becca at ease around her.

Becca's thoughts were interrupted as her pocket began to vibrate *Jesse* She picked up to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey weirdo" Jesse greeted her in his usual manner, "I believe you're missing something?" he asked teasingly.

"Please say it's my apartment keys, I seriously can't be bothered calling a locksmith again" Becca moaned

"I do indeed, you must have dropped them in my car last night when I dropped you off. Speaking of which…how did your night go? Did you stay up all night to get lucky?" Jesse laughed at his own joked.

Becca rolled her eyes before feeling really uncomfortable about explaining what happened in front of Aubrey.

Why she knows everything anyway

"Har har nice pun, listen I got stuff to do, so I'll call you later and come get my keys okay?" Becca tried to speak as calmly as possible, not wanting the boy to catch on something was up just yet.

"Sure thing titch, speak later" Jesse said before hanging up.

As soon as she was cut off from Jesse her phone lit up immediately, this time it was a different name on the screen *Chloe*

Shit I can't deal with her right now, but blondie won't stop staring

"Well…" Aubrey motioned towards Becca to answer her phone, Becca gulped trying to steady her voice before answering it.

Her heart was racing, she really was not ready for any kind of contact with the red head. Just hearing her voice alone made Becca think it would fuck with her head. Slowly she pressed the green button.

"Hello?"

"Becca! Are you okay? Where have you been? I've called, I've text! You just took off what the hell?"

That's a lot of questions that I can't even begin to go in to right now

"Yes I'm fine. Sorry I had to go I had stuff to do" Becca stated bluntly, she didn't want it to come out so harshly but it was the only way she could get the red head off the phone to her.

"Well…I'm confused still, where did you go exactly?...Becca you just ran out. I seen you."

Becca was caught off guard by Chloe's forwardness, she was going more straight to the point than the brunette had hoped.

"Yeah I remembered I had to go and…see Jesse about something. I lost my apartment keys so ended up crashing at Aubrey's" Becca explained, her eyes flickered up to see the blonde's eyes widen at her as she began shaking her head erratically from side to side.

Oh shit

"Excuse me?...you stopped at Aubrey's? My friend Aubrey's who you cannot stand" Becca found it hard to distinguish if Chloe sounded hurt, angry or upset.

Maybe a mix of them all

"Well yeah she knew I needed somewhere to crash so what?" Becca suddenly found herself getting angry towards the red head and her tone towards her.

You just got engaged in front of my eyes and act like me innocently sleeping at your best friend's house is a big deal

"Becca all I have done is try to contact you for the past 14 hours and you have been with Aubrey this whole time. It's just so fucking random! "Chloe spat back at her.

Becca could see this escalating and quite frankly she couldn't be assed with it or have the emotionally stamina to deal with it right now.

"Sorry you feel that way Chloe. I have to go I've got work tonight and I need to work on my mixes okay. I'll speak to you soon" Becca hung up the phone without giving the red head a chance to reply.

Silence filled the kitchen Becca and Aubrey were in as soon as she hung up.

"What the fuck was that Mitchell" Aubrey's voice was filled with rage, Becca stood up from the kitchen table and walked towards her bag.

"Did you not hear me? I said what the fuck was that!? I understand your hurting right now, but being a complete bitch is not going to work in your favour! I won't have you treat her like shit Becca" Aubrey had followed Becca in to the bedroom now where Becca was packing up her things.

"Listen I have done nothing wrong here, I'm not ready to speak to her yet. I have shit to deal with. If you didn't notice she kind of broke my heart, whether she was aware of this or not it is still broken, and I have to deal with it. Now thank you again for letting me crash Aubrey, but move the hell out of my way I need to go home" Becca spoke in a manner that took Aubrey by surprise.

Becca wasn't backing down to the blonde, she had sprung her guards right back up and wasn't taking shit off anyone not even Aubrey.

The brunette carried on striding towards the door, she walked out leaving the blonde standing there trying to figure out what the hell to do.

Becca had been at work for a couple of hours now, she decided not to drink. Worried that she might end up drunk dialling someone, especially with the emotionally state she was in.

She had picked songs for her mix that night at the club that pretty much had the same theme, heartbreak. It was a typical night for Becca, the crowd loved her.

Her normal escapism that came with DJ'ing was absent, she couldn't get Chloe off her brain no matter how hard she tried.

Was I too harsh on her? Should I call her? Is she happy?

Questions were constantly spinning through Becca's head as she finished off her set, she thanked the crowd and started gathering her stuff up.

Thankfully Jesse had come to the club earlier to drop off her keys so Becca could come straight home, she was beat from the events of the past 24 hours.

Becca lumbered all her stuff in to the back of her car, as she reversed out of the back entrance of the club and drove off.

Pulling up outside of her apartment Becca couldn't help but sit in her car for a moment. It was the first time she had been able to sit in silence and properly be with her thoughts.

All that ever clouded her mind was how she would never be with Chloe, not how she wanted to be anyway.

Someone had swept her off her feet and Becca had the front row seats to witness it. Tears began forming in the brunettes eyes, as the full realisation of the situation hit her.

I can't just be friends with her, it will kill me.

Being without her seems harder than being with her though

A couple of tears began to find their way out of Becca's eyes, she had finally succumbed to her emotions as the tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.

She leaned forward and putting her arms on the steering wheel so she could rest her head on top, allowing the sobs to follow through.

After a few minutes Becca gained her composure, she pulled the sleeve on her top and used it to wipe the tears and any remaining mascara off from under her eyes.

Becca reached to the back seat grabbed her DJ equipment and headed up to her apartment. She was actually glad at the thought of resting her head, work had really taken it out of her.

She quickly rummaged for her keys as she neared her front door, finding them she then looked up only to come to a halt.

There sat on the floor, knees brought up to her chest was the red head. She was swaying slightly from side to side.

Fuck what do I do, what do I say

Emotionally stunned Becca slowly walks over trying to ignore the tightness in her stomach at seeing the red head.

Chloe looked up as she heard footsteps coming towards her, she quickly scrambled up using Becca's front door handle to help hoist her to her feet.

"Becca" was all Chloe managed to let out as Becca stood in front of her.

The brunette didn't really know where this was going.

"Chloe…what are you doing here its 4am, how long have you been waiting here for?" Becca was now growing concerned, as she looked properly at Chloe her eyes were red and she was still swaying slowly.

She's shit faced

"Wellllll….look who NOW want's all of their q..questions answer huhh?" Chloe stuttered, she was struggling to form any sentence together given how drunk she was.

"Really, you came here at 4am drunk off your face to have this conversation now?" Becca wasn't annoyed she was here, but more annoyed she felt the need to show up so drunk she could barely talk to have such an important conversation to Becca.

"W..why have you been ignoring me?" Chloe poked Becca in the chest as she asked the question.

"Chlo…I haven't been igno" Before Becca could finish she was cut off by the red head.

"DON'T you Chlo me! Don't call me that .J…Just don't" Becca stood there totally confused by Chloe's reply.

Why am I now the one who feels in the wrong?

"Fine...Chloe I have not been ignoring you. If you haven't noticed I have just came back from work" Becca stated, fully aware the red head would not remember any of this tomorrow.

"Oh..o..okay this is how we normally act isn't it? We..we normally don't speak all day and don't give a shit about each other yeah that's exactly how we are to each other Becca" Chloe was now so focused on the DJ, the sarcasm evident in her voice. Becca didn't know what to reply with.

The longer the DJ stood silently the more hurt came over Chloe's face, her eyes were rimming with tears and she began to run her fingers through her red locks as she swayed from side to side.

Becca knew how drunk the red head was and her main priority right now was to make sure she was okay. Pushing all the emotional shit to one side for a minute Becca finally answered her.

"Come on get in, you're way too drunk and I need to feed you water pronto. We'll talk inside"

With that Becca gently leaned over Chloe to open her door, she then walked in to her apartment and placed her bags down.

Looking behind, the red head was still at her door, holding the door frame as she tried to steady herself.

Becca quickly made her way over and guided the red head to her couch, she walked over to the kitchen and began pouring a glass of water for Chloe.

This is gonna be a long morning.
