They were all sitting in the auditorium, talking quietly amongst their selves. Well almost everybody was there. Denise wasn't there and somehow Beca's close was there. They had looked at her and Beca had introduced her to the rest of the Bella's as her twin sister. They were curious about Bailey. And more curious about why they were called together in the auditorium. They all had got an mysterious email to be here.
When the door opened they all stopped talking to see who came in. They were surprised to see Mrs. Jones the head of Bardens music department and Miss Green the schools psychologist.
The Bella's sat in silence waiting what would happen.
As the two women took a chair Mrs. Jones started to talk.
"You all wonder why we are here," the woman said. "We observed you the past year. And when we noticed that you were losing your sound we started to find out why. And we found out. You girls all have secrets for each other. And that's why you are falling apart. So you all need to sit together and confess" the woman ended her little speech.
Miss. Green who had been quiet the whole time started to speak.
"Hello ladies, I'm here to monitor the chat. Since, Ashley's, Flo's, Chloe's and Emily's secrets are out, I suggest Aubrey can start. As she is your captain."
Secretly they were all relieved that they didn't have to start. Aubrey however was a bit nervous. No, she was really nervous. What if the Bella's would hate her?
"Aubrey, are you ready to share your story?" Mrs. Jones asked her.
"As ready as I ever will be" the blonde said.
"Aubrey's confession"
"I know most of you see me as a cold hearted bitch. And I know I am hard on all of you. And it is because I don't want you to make the same mistakes as I did. Because, believe it or not I actually do care about all of you."
"Before I went to Barden I wasn't so focused or in control as I am now. I was a wild child as a teenager. I use to drink a lot. And did things I shouldn't have done. I use to sleep around with pretty much any guy I knew. And some of them I didn't know. I didn't care about the consequences. And now I have to live with the consequences my actions had. Because I am a mother. I have three children from three different men. At fifteen I gave birth to my first son Daniel. Six weeks after he was born I was pregnant again. This time I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who I named Sophia. And two days after my seventeenth birthday I got my second son Christopher."
"My parents stepped up and gave me a choice. Go to college and make something of your life, or keep going what your doing and we kick you out without your kids. Because they took, and still take care of my children. So I choose to go to college and get an education. Maybe I'm not a good mother but I do love my children and I want them to look up to me. I want them to be proud of me" Aubrey finished her story.
The tears were rolling down her cheeks. A weight had been lifted from her shoulders now that everything was out in the open.
After Aubrey finished her story, everyone was silent. Nobody knew what to say. Nobody except for Chloe who already knew this, expected to hear something like this.
"What are you feeling, now that you know this?" Miss Green asked the rest of the Bella's.
"Well, I don't know how the rest feels about this" Stacie spoke. "But for me nothing changes. It's unexpected but I don't judge her because of her past. I know the Aubrey she is now. And I personally know how much she cares about us. And as far as I'm concerned we're Bella's for life. So, I don't care what she did before. I care about who she is now. And I think she is one of the most loving and caring people I know."
Stacie's words brought tears to everybody's eyes. And they all agreed with her.
"Do you girls want a break?" Miss Green asked.
They decided that someone else should go now and they would take a break after that.
They looked at each other. No one really wanted to go and tell their deepest secret. So Mrs. Jones picked the next one.
"Beca, it's your turn to tell what you kept hidden for your friends.
"Beca's confession"
"As you see my twin sister Bailey is here today. I don't know why she was invited but I'll guess it has to do with my secret. You didn't know I had a twin sister. And I kept that on purpose for you. Because, and I'm not proud of what I did. But I forced Bailey to take over my place in the Bella's sometimes."
Bailey looked at her sister with raised eyebrows.
"Okay, a lot. At first I didn't want to join the Bella's. But after Chloe ambushed me in the shower, and my dad bugging me to join one group on campus I decided to give it a try. So I auditioned and became a part of you awesome nerds. And I really love it to be a Bella, but I am lazy sometimes. And morning rehearsals are not really my thing. So one morning when we had practice I couldn't go. But we all know that aca nazi here wouldn't allow to miss practice if you don't have a good reason. Bailey was with me that day. So I convinced her to go in my place. We look so alike that you wouldn't notice anyway. And you didn't. At first we thought it was kind of funny. But more often I was tired due to heavy drinking the night before. Or whatever reason there was. So I kept asking Bailey to go in my place. And at first she didn't mind. But I forced her to do it more and more. I only showed up at competitions. Naturally, Bailey didn't want to do it anymore. She had her own life. And she put that on hold for me. So one day she came to the Bella's house to tell me she wouldn't do it anymore. So we got into an argument when Chloe came in" Beca ended her story.
She kept looking down to her hands. She didn't dare to look anyone in the eyes.
Nobody knew what to say. They all felt betrayed by Beca. They couldn't believe that she would sent her sister instead of doing her things herself. They didn't judge like they didn't judge Aubrey, but they were angry.
But they didn't blame Bailey for taking her sisters place. They were friendly to her. They felt sorry for her.
Those two confessions took their toll on all the girls. A lot of emotions came up. And each girl had to deal with it on their own way.
They decided on a short break. Most of them went outside for some fresh air.
Beca, who felt guilty stayed inside. She wasn't ready to look the other Bella's in the eyes. She knew what she had done was wrong. It almost had cost her her relationship with her sister. She put her walls back up and hoped the day was over soon. After today she would quit the Bella's she decided . The girls deserved better and she had let them down.
The break was over and to Beca's surprise Aubrey came to her with a cup of coffee.
"Hey Hobbit, I have some coffee for you. I thought you could use it" the blonde said.
Surprised she took the cup. "Thanks Aubrey, I aprecciate it. I don't deserve it."
"Don't be sorry hard on yourself Beca. You made a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes" Aubrey said simply.
After they all sat down Mrs. Jones asked who of them would go next.
'I would like to go" Jessica said. Everyone was surprised to see the shy blond girl to volunteer.
"If I don't go now, I am afraid that I don't go at all" she said.
"Jessica's confession "
"I am one of America's highest paid camgirls" she blurted out.
"What?!" they all said with the exception of Ashley. "Nobody could believe that the shy girls was a camgirl.
"It started when I was in high school. I met a guy. And he was all that a girl wanted in a guy. We started dating and after a couple of dates whe got in a relationship. Everybody thought of us as the perfect couple. He was handsome and nice. He was to good to be true. The beginning of our relationship was perfect. He was nice and respectfull. He bought me flowers and took me on dates. But after a few months he started to change. He was extremely manipulative. And very good at getting what he wanted. He never hurt me or something. But my opinion didn't matter to him anymore. And somehow he got me into the world of camgirls."
"Sorry, I need a break" Jessica said while the tears were rolling down her cheeks. She walked to the toilets.
After ten minutes she came to continue her story.
"At first I hated it. I didn't want to show my naked body to men I didn't know. I mean I hadn't showed my body to him. But he kept pressuring me to do it. So I did. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But it wasn't my favorite thing to do. And then he gave me the money I made with it. That was the strangest thing. He didn't want me to do it so he had extra cash. No, he made me do it to let me see that he could make me do anything he wanted me to do."
"After a while I started to like it more and more. Not because of the money I made with it. Or that I liked it to undress for strangers. But for other reasons I never expected. I started to aprecciate my body. I wasn't no longer just the barbie doll that everyone in school called me. I now did something I was good at. I started to love myself and my body. I dumped that guy after some time. But to this day I still work as a camgirl. And as strange it may sound I learned to love myself. And I may be a camgirl, but I'm still a virgin."
After Jessica's story everybody was speechless. This confession came with mixed feelings for everybody. They felt bad for Jess that her ex boyfriend did this to her. But they admired her for her courage.
"Wow, that was pretty heavy Jessica" was all that Emily could. The rest of them nodded in agreement.
"I know. That's why I wanted to tell it, before I got scared to tell my secret."
