Thursday night/Friday morning

Beca sat on the edge of her bed, laptop placed towards the center, the current top 40 playing quietly in the background. The short brunette bobbed her head to the tune, occasionally skipping songs she didn't like.

Other than that, her eyes were glued to the TV screen, her face wrinkled up in concentration. She had been playing call of duty for the past three hours, hoping to get the next prestige before she headed to bed.

"Yes! Prestige Five!" She yelled, a little too loudly as she threw a fist up in the air. She quickly slapped a hand over her mouth, remembering her dad and stepmonster were asleep in the next room. The last thing she wanted was to wake them and end up on the receiving end of one of Sheila's lectures.

After a moment, when she was sure the pair were still asleep, Beca proceeded to turn of the console and head to the bathroom.

As she opened the bathroom door, her phone buzzed in her pocket. It was a text from Chloe.

'What you doing?'

Beca smirked as she quickly typed out a reply. 'Peeing.' She chuckled as she sent the text, typing out another to send along with it. 'Was just heading to bed, though. Why?'

After a moment, as Beca had finished in the bathroom, she received a reply from Chloe.

'Well grab your shoes, we're outside your house.'

Beca raised a brow, before moving over to the window in her bedroom, which was on the front of the house. She moved the curtain, to see Chloe and Aubrey were leaning against the fence. She let out a soft chuckle, before re-closing the curtain.

'Be right there.' She text back, putting her pone in the pocket of her jeans. She had been too busy playing Call of Duty to get changed in to her pyjamas, so she decided to just stay dressed as she was if she was going out.

Before she headed downstairs, Beca peered around the door in to her dad's bedroom. Good. They were both asleep. With that sorted, she rushed downstairs, careful not to make a sound. She grabbed a pair of converse, putting them on as quickly as she could before opening up the window in the lounge, like she had a few days before. It didn't take her very long to get out of the window this time. But, she had been in a rush to get out so she had forgotten the key for the gate.

'Great,' she muttered to herself as she moved one of the plastic garden chairs in front of the gate.

She climbed up on to the chair, before hauling herself on to the six foot gate. Now, sat at the top, she took a breath before jumping down to the other side. The sound of her shoes hitting the floor echoed around a bit, but it probably wasn't loud enough to have waked her dad.

Beca put her hands in her pocket as she walked down on to the front of the house, grinning as Chloe and Aubrey turned around.

"Beca! Where's Stacie? Is she not coming out?" Aubrey asked, as she tried to look around Beca to see if the girl in question was about.

"Wow, hi to you too, Aubrey." Beca greeted with an eye roll. "But no, she's not even here. She's at her grandparents tonight."

"Is it far? We could stop by see if she could get out?" Chloe suggested, offering a grin.

Beca simply shrugged, "It's about a five minute walk. Her grandparents have this crazy loud alarm that is set off whenever you go downstairs. I don't know if Stace even knows the code to shut it off. But even if she did, they have a dog that would bark and wake the whole house." She replied.

Aubrey frowned a little, letting out the smallest of sighs, hoping that the other two didn't hear it. "So she wouldn't be able to come out?"

"I didn't say that. The window in her room over looks the garage. She could climb out of the window, on to the roof, but without something to climb on to, she ain't getting back on that roof to get in.

Chloe grinned as she clapped her hands, "Great! Lead the way, Becs."

Beca rolled her eyes, but nonetheless, she began to walk towards where Stacie's grandparent's house was.

Roughly five minutes later, the three of them were standing in front of the house.

"Jesus Christ, how big is that house?" Chloe asked, taking in the rather large house.

"Stacie's mom's side of the family are like, loaded. You should see her uncle's house. Seriously." Beca commented, as she casually bit on her nails.

Aubrey took out her phone, punching in Stacie's number before lifting the phone to her ear. After a moment, she let out a huff as she lowered the phone.

"No answer," Aubrey said as she put the phone in her pocket. Stacie was probably sleeping. "Which one's her room?" She then asked, turning to look at Beca.

"It's on the side, where the garage is." Beca replied, looking up at the house. "Wait, that room there," She pointed to the window that had the curtains closed, and the light on. "That's the guest room. Stacie might be in there."

Chloe nodded, looking up at the window. She let a moment pass before she crouched down, picking up a small stone from the sidewalk. She raised her arm, ready to throw it, but Beca grabbed her arm.

"Dude, no. You'll wake the fucking dog."

"Relax, Beca. It'll hardly make a sound. Just enough to get Stacie's attention." Chloe replied.

"And if it's not actually Stacie in that room?"

Chloe shrugged, "We run." She simply said, throwing the stone. It hit the window, the sound echoing around, but it probably just seemed loud because it was so quiet. Seriously, you could probably hear a pen drop.

After a moment, the curtains moved out of the way, and Stacie appeared in it's place, a confused look on her face as she saw her three friends.

Aubrey grinned taking her phone out to call Stacie, as all three girls made a 'phone' signal with their hands against their ears. Stacie seemed to understand, as she put the curtain back in it's place. It didn't take long for Stacie to answer the call.

"What the hell are you guys doing out there?" She yelled down the phone.

"Hold on, let me put you on speaker." Aubrey replied, before removing the phone from her ear. "There, we can all hear you now."

"Guys, why are you here? And throwing a fucking stone? My grandparents have a crazy, evil dog. And seriously, my grandpa has a shotgun. He'd shoot you, no questions, if he saw you."

Aubrey's eyes seemed to widen a little, while Beca seemed unfazed and Chloe just laughed.

"Stace, shut the hell up for a minute," Beca called in to the phone, satisfied when she got no reply. "Why aren't you in your room?"

"My grandparents have been using my room for storing pieces of crap because I haven't been in a while. So, it's impossible to get in." Came Stacie's reply.

Beca ran a hand through her hair as she cast a glance back up to the house, to see if anyone was about.

"So, you won't be able to get out?" Aubrey asked, but already knew the answer.

"No. The alarm going off would wake the dog. Now, get the fuck off my lawn so I can sleep. Seriously, I was like almost asleep when whatever you threw scared the shit out of me."

"Sorry Stace, It was Chlo. I told her not to." Beca replied, laughing a little.

The three bid Stacie goodnight, before hanging up the phone and walking down to the end of the street, since they didn't want to get caught hanging outside the house.

"So what now?" Beca asked, leaning against the street sign with her hands in her pockets.

The two other girls were silent for a moment, before Chloe turned to Beca with a grin.

"You know where the old doctor's used to be?" She asked, both Beca and Aubrey nodding. "There's a new park down there, with like a zip wire and shit. We could go down there."

Beca shrugged. There was nothing else to do, and now she'd been out in the cold air for a bit, she wasn't tired so she didn't plan on going home soon.

"I'm down," Beca replied, with a firm nod.

Both Beca and Chloe then looked to Aubrey, who seemed to be a little unconvinced.

"I dunno guys. It's almost an hours walk. And isn't that where all the crack heads live?" She asked, looking from Beca to Chloe.

Chloe just shrugged, she didn't really know, so she looked to Beca for the answer. Beca just nodded, not really seeing the problem.

"Are you kidding? If we go there, they'll try and inject me with smack." Aubrey said, the panic visible in her eyes. It looked as if she was ready to blow chunks at any moment.

Beca chuckled as she shook her head, "Bree, they're probably all passed out drunk and high by now." She said, though it didn't really make it sound any better.

"Still. I'm not going there."

Chloe rolled her eyes, but knew there was no convinced Aubrey now. So, she decided to suggest something else.

"How about we just go on a walk then?" Chloe said, to which Aubrey and Beca just nodded.

Might as well, since they couldn't just stand on the corner of a street where mainly old people lived. That would look a bit creepy.

The three of them had been walking for roughly ten minutes, when Aubrey notices the bottom window of a house was wide open, the room inside pitch black.

"Guys, look there." She said, pointing to the window as they passed.

"Oh my god, they might be getting robbed." Chloe said, Aubrey already pulling out her phone to call her cops.

"Chill, it's a woman that lives there. She leaves the window open all the time. She sits there during the day, just looking out on to the street." Beca said, knowing it was just nothing.

"Are you sure?" Chloe asked, turning to Beca.

"Chlo, trust me. Besides, the neighbors will call the cops if anything is actually happening. And if we call, we'll probably get in trouble for being out at this time anyway."

Chloe nodded. "Okay. I trust you."

"I'm so blaming you if I find out anything did happen." Aubrey said as she put her phone back in her pocket.

Beca just rolled her eyes, before carrying on walking up the street. She pulls her hood up, putting her hands back in her pocket. She turned to look at Aubrey with a smirk.

"Wanna hear a joke?" she asked.

Aubrey raised a brow suspiciously, but since Chloe was nodding eagerly, she too nodded.

"How do you drown a blonde?" Beca asked, knowing that Aubrey hated any kind of blonde joke. "Glue a mirror to the bottom of the pool."

Chloe tried to hold in her laughter, since she also knew that Aubrey didn't like blonde jokes.

"Not even funny, Beca." Aubrey spat Beca's name, her eyes narrowing to the short girl. "Remind me which dwarf you are again? Oh I remember, Dopey."

Aubrey now held a smug look as Beca let out a huff. "That's low." She grumbled, glaring at the blonde.

"It might be low, but you still need a stool to reach it." Aubrey grinned at the shocked look on Beca's face. "Don't start what you can't finish."

"Bree, this is going to end up going too far." Chloe said, stepping in between the two girls. Aubrey and Beca didn't argue that often any more, but their big arguments usually started off with silly jokes like these. And usually ended in a few punches being thrown, and Aubrey throwing up.

Beca placed a hand on Chloe's shoulder as she gently moved her out of the way. The brunette and blonde spent a moment just staring at each other, eyes narrowed in a glare before Beca finally broke the silence.

"So, Bree. You plan on coming out of that closet any time soon?" She asked in a sickly sweet voice as she offered an obvious fake smile.

Aubrey's eyes widened as she quickly looked to Chloe, who looked just as surprised, with her hand over her mouth as she stared at Beca in disbelief.

Once Aubrey had recovered from the initial shock, her face contorted in to a look of anger, the glare returning to her face as she looked back at Beca. Before she even knew what she was doing, Aubrey slapped Beca's cheek, the sound deafening as it echoed around them. Aubrey's hand began to sting instantly, but at least it wiped the smug look off Beca's face. Now, Beca held a look of pure shock, as her own hand shot up to her cheek.

"Screw you Beca." Aubrey said to the brunette as she turned and fast-walked down the street, not really caring where she was going.

Beca and Chloe stood in silence for a moment, both too shocked to move or even talk. Beca knew she had gone way too far. She didn't even mean to say it, she just couldn't help it. Aubrey had a way of getting under her skin, and although they were relatively close friends now, the blonde still annoyed her to no end.

"Beca. You need to apologize." Chloe finally said, stepping over to Beca.

Beca nodded as she looked up to meet Chloe's gaze. "I know." She said, her voice low, barely above a whisper.

As Chloe turned in the direction Aubrey had gone, hoping to find the blonde somewhere to be able to catch up to her. However, Aubrey was no where to be seen.

"Shit, where did she go?" Chloe said, more thinking aloud as she pulled out her phone. She tried to call Aubrey, but received no answer. "Damn, she's not answering."

"Okay, we'll walk in that general direction and keep a lookout for her." Beca said, almost panicking as she began to walk in the direction Aubrey had gone, Chloe close behind her.

As they were walking down the street, Beca kept checking down the small side roads, just in case Aubrey had decided to go down any of them. As she was looking, she saw a figure in the distance, walking down one of the small side roads.

"Keep looking in that direction. I'll check down here. Call me if you find anything, and I'll do the same." Beca said to Chloe, not really giving her a chance to reply before she began to job down the road.

It didn't take long for Beca to realize that the person walking down the street was actually Aubrey, if the blonde hair wasn't a give away.

"Bree!" She called, still running to catch up.

"Go away, Beca." Aubrey called back, her voice breaking. It was obvious she had been crying.

"Bree, wait!" Beca yelled back, this time making the blonde stop and turn.

"What?" Aubrey spat, the anger evident in her tone as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Beca slowed to a stop, bending over slightly as she tried to catch a breath. After a second, and her breathing had returned to normal, she stood up straight, looking Aubrey in the eye.

"Look, Bree. I'm sorry, I went way over the line." She said, sincerely sorry for what she had said before. "To make it up to you, I won't say anything else about you secretly liking Stacie and I'll-"

"How did you know that?" Aubrey cut her off, her brow raised.

"Well, for one, I can see your toner through those jeans." Beca replied with a grin as she gestured to Aubrey's crotch.

Aubrey couldn't help but crack a smile as she replied, "That's my dick." Both girls let out a little laugh, remembering the time Aubrey thought she had a crush on Jesse, only to later find out Beca preferred her boyfriends to actually be girlfriends.

"Okay, and what else?" Aubrey then asked, only to receive a confused look from Beca.

"Huh?" Beca asked, raising a brow. She wasn't really sure was Aubrey was on about right now.

Aubrey just rolled her eyes. "Before I cut you off. You was going to add something else."

"Oh! Right! Yea. I'll tell you one of my secrets."

Aubrey was silent for a moment, seemingly contemplating what Beca had just said. It would help for her to have something over Beca in the future. So, she nodded. "Okay, I'l listening."

Beca took in a breath, not meeting Aubrey's gaze. "I like Chloe." She mumbled.

Despite the mumbling, Aubrey heard Beca loud and clear, and couldn't help but let out a scoff.

"Please, I already knew that. I want a real secret."

"Fine. Okay. Hmm. Well, I secretly rock out to Taylor Swift when no one is around."

Aubrey burst out in to laughter. Beca was so not a Swiftie.

"Are you being serious?! Oh my god! You like Taylor Swift!"

Beca quickly slapped a hand over Aubrey's mouth. "Shhh. You tell anyone and I will personally end your life."

Aubrey nodded as Beca removed her hand, "Don't worry. I'll keep your secret."

Beca smiled, nodding to herself, "Good. So am I forgiven?"

Aubrey was silent for a moment, but eventually nodded. "I forgive you."

With that, Aubrey wrapped her arms around Beca, knowing that the small girl didn't like hugs. But, Beca didn't complain, she just let it happen. When they broke apart, Beca took out her phone, dialing Chloe.

"I need to tell Chloe I found you." She said, just as Chloe answered the call. "Hey, Chlo. I found Bree. Where are you?" She asked.

"Behind you actually. I couldn't find her, so I decided to come find you on that street you went down." Came Chloe's reply, to which Beca turned around, only to find Chloe was actually walking down the street towards them.

Beca hung up and put her phone back in her pocket as Chloe approached.

"So is everything good then?" Chloe asked the two, who nodded. "Good." She said as she wrapped her arms around both girls.

"Seriously? Why so much hugging?" Beca complained, but still wrapped her arms around the two girls.

After a moment, Chloe let go of Aubrey and Beca, but continued to smile at the two.

"You wanna hear a joke?" Beca said, breaking the silence as she grinned at the two.

"No!" Aubrey said, practically yelling.

Beca rolled her eyes, "It's not a blonde joke. I promise."

Aubrey eyed Beca for a moment, before nodding. "Fine. Go ahead."

Beca turned her attention to Chloe. "Why are the Harry Potter films so unrealistic?" She asked, waiting a second for Chloe to look slightly confused. "A ginger kid has two friends."

Chloe just rolled her eyes, gently hitting Beca's arm. "Seriously Bec, you have a deathwish." she said with a chuckle. She didn't mind ginger jokes as much as Aubrey hated blonde jokes, but she knew Beca was just trying to be a little shit. "I'm still hot," She then added, as she turned to the side, slapping her ass.

Beca just rolled her eyes, "Yea, keep telling yourself that."

The three of them began to walk back down the street, when Beca decided to check the time.

"Jeez, guys. It's almost three am." She said, as she saw the time on her phone.

"Shut up, it's that late already?" Chloe asked, in slight disbelief as she checked her own phone.

"I'm serious. It'll be getting light at around four, so I'm gonna head home." Beca replied.

Before Beca had a chance to turn to walk home, she was being enveloped in another hug from Chloe.

"See you later, Bec." Chloe said, squeezing Beca slightly.

Beca returned the hug, only slightly awkwardly. "See you later, Chlo." She said, but noticed Aubrey making a heart sign with her hands behind Chloe's back. Beca narrowed her eyes as she flipped her off, before Chloe released her.

She waved goodbye before heading home, pulling her hood up with her hands in her pockets.

It only took her about ten minutes to get back home, since she thought it would have been a longer walk than it already was. She struggled to climb over the gate, but by using the fence to help her get over, it wasn't too hard. She got down on to the chair on the other side, before returning it to it's original place. She let out an involuntary yawn as she climbed back in through the window, closing it behind her. She proceeded to take off her shoes and rush upstairs, only taking off her jeans before she flopped down on to her bed and fell asleep.

A/N

This didn't have too much BecaxChloe in it, but I thought it was getting a bit too long to write a lot more in, so I've got some Bechloe stuff for next chapter, since I'm trying to keep these short-ish.
