Hello People!
Sorry for taking so long to update. This story is almost over.
I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Thanks a lot
Brittany POV
"I can't believe that creep did this. I hate him." Brittany thought after the idea with the acceptance speech had come to her.
Flashback
"So whatcha doing with the DJ?" Jesse asked Brittany handing her a bottle of water.
"I like her." Brittany answered shortly.
"Oh yeah? You do?" Jesse asked frowning.
"Yes i do. I'm not going to tell you that I'm only using her to get attention and I don't have any feelings what so ever. Because that's not true" Brittany spat at him and stalked away, oblivious to the evil grin that had spread across his face.
"Damn it. He fucking tricked me. He knows what ticks me off."
She got up from the couch and started passing angrily. She grabbed the book she had been reading and threw it across Aubrey's living room where it hit the wall with a smack. Taking calming breaths she lay down on the floor. Laying on the floor always had a calming effect on her. She could not explain it.
Beca POV
A shouting pulled Beca out of her sleep.
"Beca!"
"Jesus, what?" Beca mumbled.
"Becaaa!" Amy's voice shouted again. Beca groaned and she heard footsteps coming closer.
"God Amy what?" Beca shouted annoyed now.
"You are never going to fucking believe it." Amy shouted.
"Not so loud, my head hurts" Beca said rubbing her temples. She has been living with Amy since she had come back from LA which was 6 weeks ago but for Beca it felt much longer. Her sleep was approximately 3 hours per night. During the day she would sit or lay somewhere in Amy's apartment and stearing into space, her eyes unfocused. Even of half the apartment where to be ripped away in a storm Beca wouldn't have noticed it. Beca looked at her watch. It was 3 in the afternoon.
Amy pulled out her phone and connected it to the TV.
"You need to see this. I just saw it myself. i rushed home as fast as i could." Amy said and she pressed play.
"Please welcome from 'white collar' Matt Bomer." A female voice said and a large crowed clapped. On the stage there walked a handsome looking guy in an expensive looking suite with black hair and a 1000 watt smile. He stopped in front of the microphone.
"Amy, what's this?" Beca said annoyed. She didn't need to see a dude in a suit but Amy just motioned her to shut up and Beca turned her attention back to Matt Bomer.
"These 5 woman have shown incredible talent this year. Tonight we are hear to honour all of them. The nominees for 'best actress in a leading role' are.." The screen shifted from Matt Bomer to the screen behind him where the words 'best actress in a leading role' were written. Then it focused on a pretty woman with short hair. Matt Bomer's voice said: " Anne Hathaway in Lés Miserables. The room clapped. The screen shifted again, onto a young woman. "Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings play book", again applause. Next it showed a face that Beca would never ever forget in her life. Brittany. "Brittany Snow in pitch perfect." Beca sat up straight, her mouth hanging open. She was stunned. She was pulled out of the trance she had been in for the longest time. "Already time for the oscars?! Jesus. I have really been out of it." Beca thought. She remember all the time she had been studying up on awards for acting, she was going to try to impress Brittany with her knowledge. She pulled back to the screen in time to hear Matt Bomer say "and the academy award goes to..." The opening of an envelope could be hear but the screen was devided into 5 different faces with backgrounds. Beca couldn't help but stare at Brittany.
"Brittany Snow in Pitch Perfect." All the other faces were cut out as the full screen was focused on Brittany. There was a look of surprise on her face. Beca saw Aubrey lean into Brittany and kiss her cheek whispering in her ear. Brittany winked at Aubrey and stood up. She was wearing a red strapless dress which hugged her in all the right places and made her ass look gorgeous. As she walked up the stairs towards Matt Bomer there were different shots of the other nominees face and of the theatre. Brittany was getting a standing ovation. Beca jumped up tackling Amy to the floor.
"She won the fucking oscar. Her dream since she was nine!" She shouted.
"Beca, get off me. This is not even the best part." Amy said pushing Beca.
"What do you mean?" Beca asked stretching her hand to help Amy up.
"Watch and see." Amy said simply. Beca turned her attention back to the video. Brittany was now standing in front of the microphone holding the golden statue.
"Wow this is just amazing." Brittany said. The sound of Brittany's voice washed over Beca.
"First off I would like to thank the academy. This truly means so much to me. i would like to acknowledge my fellow nominees and everybody in this room. I am in aw that I'm allowed to
Breath the same air as all you brilliant minds. Thank you to my manager Benji who had been by my side for a long, long time. My best friend Aubrey who always, always keeps me grounded."
The camera zoomed in on Aubrey who had tears in hear eyes and blow her a kiss.
"To my parents. I would also like to thank Jesse for showing me what friendship, love and loyalty really means. not that he could ever give it to anybody but himself. "
The camera zoomed in on Jeese (the ex which beca noticed.)
"that it should be acknowledged when it comes, in what ever form. That it is important to have faith and listen to your heart. When you have found true love you need to hold onto it because it is rare that one finds the love their life. And that you need to fight for it. -even if the other person left the country because of some fake recording. Sometimes you just need to apologise even if it is a sign of weakness. because being in love and in A relationship is all about seeing all parts of the other person. sometimes you need to be weak. love is louder. Im sorry Beca Mitchell and i need you to know that I love you too. Thank you so much." Brittany finished her speech. There was a jingling music and the video ended. There was complete silence in the room. Beca was stunned. She would have never expected Brittany to give such a speech. A speech that touched her heart like it did.
"Play it again. Just the speech." Beca said. A muffled sniff made Beca turn. It was Amy, she had tears in her eyes and so did Beca. When their eyes met both of them started crying. Amy played the video again and again until Beca had it memorised. Now she started moulding the words over in mind. There were some in particular that caught her attention:
"even if the other person left the country because of some fake recording."
How could she possible know about the recording and that being the reason she left. And then it hit her. The ex. He had played her. Even with this new bit of information it did not explain why Brittany hadn't said "I love you" back in that moment. Beca was still hurt but realised that may have overreacted and not let Brittany explain herself.
She played the part where Brittany mentions Jesse and was happy to hear the hatred in her voice and the finally realised what the words meant. She sat back down unsure of what to do now. She had said all the wonderful things in front of millions of people's watching the oscars.
She grabbed her phone and turned it on for the 1 time in 6 weeks. It had sat in the same place in all that time. She had to connect it to her charger. When it finally was turned on and connected to the Internet, she saw that she had 50 new messages from various people. One person caught her eye. Aubrey.
'Beca, I know you are hurt. Brittany is to. Just do yourself a favour. Watch the Oscars tonight. It will all be explained. Please watch. Trust me. #BeBritt
-Aubrey.'
she sat back. she got up and threw the phone on the couch, got up and got herself a coke from the fridge. Now getting back with Brittany was going to be the tricky part. She couldn't do that be herself. She needed help. Turning to Amy she smiled, the muscles in her face working hard.
She dialled Aubrey's number and it started ringing.
"This is Aubrey Posen."
"Hey Aubrey. It's Beca."
There was a sharp intake of breath.
"Yes. What can I do for you?"
"I saw the speech. I need to talk to her. Get her back. I need your help."
"Sorry, Mrs. Jones. I'm in a meeting right now. Can I call you back?"
"I'm not mrs Jones. This is Beca Mitchell. I need your help to get Brittany snow back. BeBritt, you know."
"I will call you as soon as I'm free. Thank you mrs. Jone. Goodbye."
The line went dead. Beca and Amy exchanged confused looks.
10 seconds later a text message from Aubrey came.
"Sorry, I'm with her right know. I'll call when I can. Think off some stuff. We will work something out. We always do. (As long as its legal, I'm a lawyer *smiles*)"Beca read out loud.
