They all needed a break. After those three confessions and the secrets of Chloe, Ashley, Flo and Emily they already knew, they needed to stop and let it all in. There was a lot of tension, and each girl needed to handle it on her own way.

Most of them went outside. Jessica and Ashley comforted each other. Stacie and Aubrey were talking together. Flo, Emily and Cynthia Rose sat together on the grass. Bailey and Lilly didn't say a thing but they both observed the rest of the Bella's.

Miss. Green and Mrs. Jones were nowhere to be seen.

Chloe stayed behind and shot Beca a deadly glare. Beca went to her.

"I'm so sorry Chloe" she said. Chloe looked at her with a pained look in her eyes.

"You lied to me" Chloe said. "When I asked you who I fell in love with you said that it was you. But you just told us you only showed up at competitions. So all those 'time' we were bonding it was with your sister. I learned to know Bailey not Beca" she shouted.

"Chloe wait. I know that I lied to you, but listen to what I have to say. It's true you bonded with Bailey during practice. And you've gotten to know her better. But it was me you saw at the activities fair. It was me you ambushed in the shower. It was me you came to hang out with at the radio station. And that doesn't make my actions right. I regret lying to all of you. But I regret most that I lied to you, Chloe. I never wanted to hurt you."

"I don't know if I can believe you" a sad Chloe said.

Before Beca could react to that, the door opened and the rest of the Bella's came inside. Followed by Mrs. Jones and Miss Green.

They all took their seats and waited what would happen next.

Miss Green asked them if they were ready to continue. They all agreed that they want to get over with it.

"Stacie, why don't you start with your story?" Mrs. Jones suggested.

Stacie looked at Aubrey and smiled. "Okay, I'll tell you my secret.

"Stacie's confession"

"When I was six years old my mom died. It wasn't easy growing up without her. But luckily I had my dad. He was my hero and was always there for me. Till' he met her. And 'her' is my stepmom. They started dating when I was around eight years old. At first she was very nice and sweet. I always had known I was smart. And when I was eleven they wanted me to do some sort of IQ test. Turns out I have a higher IQ than Albert Einstein. And then the problems started. My stepmom was nice but dumb as fuck. And she couldn't handle that I was so smart. And that I asked so many questions about anything I was interested in."

"When I was twelve years old, my father married her. From that day my life changed and not in a good way. That bitch and I fought a lot. She couldn't handle a smart kid that wasn't hers. And me being a pain in the ass, I didn't take crap from her. Our arguments were almost daily. And then came the day she made my father choose. Or she would leave or I had to go. He didn't want to make a choice, but that bitch pressured him to choose. And then he finally made his choice."

Tears were streaming down Stacie's face as she spoke.

"Sorry I can't do this" she said softly as she stood up an walked away.

They all felt sad for Stacie, but didn't know what to do. Aubrey stood up from her chair and went after Stacie. They didn't know what was being said between them, but after ten minutes they both came back, holding each other's hands. Aubrey sat down and put Stacie on her lap. Stacie continued her story with Aubrey's arm around her waist.

"My father choose her. That left me homeless at sixteen years old. But I refused to give up. I had lost everything, but I knew I was smart. So I continue to go to school. I found different jobs. I worked and go to school, but I didn't have a place to sleep. No place to call home. So I slept outside in alleys and abandonned buildings. I earned a full scholarship for Barden. Coming to Barden was what saved me. I finally had a place to sleep. I continued to work. Sometimes I had three jobs at the same time. But I don't care. Every break I would stay here. I saved all my money to rent a house for myself for when I graduate. But during our last break things got worse. There was that plague, and all students had to leave their dorms. I had nowhere to go, so I went back to one of the alleys I used to sleep. One night there was a fight between two guys, and I got hurt. I ended up in the hospital. They looked through my phone to see who they could contact. The first one in my list was Aubrey. They called her and she came immediately to the hospital. And then I told her everything I just told you."

After she finished her story she hid her face in Aubrey's neck. She was tired and ashamed. But she was relieved to finally open up to all of her Bella sisters and tell them her story.

The Bella's were speechless after hearing what their sister had gone through. They never expected to hear such story from Stacie. Stacie was always there for anyone who needed advice or a listening ear.

Surprisingly it was Ashley to speak first .

"Wow, Stacie your story is horrible. But I want to tell you that although you don't have a family, we're here for you. From this day on we are your family. Bella's for life. And this goes for anyone of you."

They agreed with Ashley's words.

Miss Green asked them if they wanted to have lunch before they continued the confession session. Most of them were hungry but they rather want to get over with this. So the next one to speak was Fat Amy.

"Fat Amy's confession"

"As you know I grew up in Tasmania. I had a normal live growing up. I loved to wrestle crocodiles and dingoes. You already know my real name is Fat Patricia. But apparently even that is not true."

They all looked at her if she had lost her mind.

"When I was eighteen years old my parents died in a plane crash. Not a commercial airplane, but their own sports plane. After I heard the news I headed back home. I had to take care of a lot things as I was an only child. After their funerals I went back to my childhood home. I needed to sort out all their belongings and papers. Then I found out that I was adopted. I never knew this and I had never felt that they weren't my real family."

Fat Amy needed a break before continuing her story. And it wasn't the story she told, but the way the normally funny girl was so serious that shocked the girls.

"Finding out that I was adopted didn't shock me so much as the information about myself. It turned out that I was kidnapped as a baby. And nobody knew who I was."

"Fast for warden to two months ago. I got a call from the Australian Embassy. They had found a match and knew finally who I really was. Apparantly, I am not even Australian. But I am from New Zealand. My real name is Ann Marie Williams, and I am a daughter of really whealty people. And now they want me back. And causing a lot of trouble to get me there. And they want to take away my Australian citizenship. But I don't want to meet them. In my heart I am Fat Amy from Tasmania. Not Ann Marie Williams from New Zealand" she ended her story looking at her fellow Bella's in despair.

All this new information was a lot to take in. They didn't know how to respond.

Until Aubrey spoke.

"Well, to us you still are Fat Amy, like Ashley is still Ashley to us. And my daddy is a lawyer, I'll ask him if he could help you with your legal status."

"Thank you Aubrey, I appreciate this" Fat Amy said.

They all jumped up when they heard a knock on the door. Mrs. Jones went to open it. Without anyone noticing she had ordered food.

They all needed this break. They were still quiet during the lunch. But you could feel they were still close. Maybe even closer than before the confessions. They were sisters. They had to be there for each other, no matter what. What they had was a bond for life. And these stories brought them closer.

Cynthia Rose was the next one right after lunch to tell her story.

"Cynthia Rose's confession"

"The dean of student affairs Richard Owens is my uncle. He is my mothers older brother. And I haven't told you because my uncle andI don't get along very well. And because we don't have the same last name I thought it was easier to not mention uncle hates me. And it wasn't always like this. It's because he think I am responsible for his daughters death."

"My cousin Angela and I were born five days apart. She was the oldest. And from as long as I can remember we were close. We were always together. As inseperable as Jessica and Ashley were we. We did everything together. She was my best friend. I told her everything and she told me everything. She was the most sweetest, loving and caring girl I ever known. The best friend I could ask for. She was the first one I came out to. But she already knew. And it didn't matter to her. We were always up to doing something adventurous. Always looking out for each other. Until that fatal day came.." Cynthia Rose stopped talking.

She took a deep breath and got herself together.

"We were sixteen years old and it was a normal day. We were hanging out at my house. Just listening to some music. Then we noticed that something wasn't right. I opened the door of my room. And all we could see was smoke. My house was on fire and we were trapped in my room on the third floor. The fire spread fast and Angela managed to get us by the window. Even though we couldn't see much because of the smoke, she somehow managed to open it. She pushen me out of the window and told me she would follow me. I misstepped and fell down leaving me unconcious. When I woke up in the hospital three days later, they told me that Angela didn't make it."

"She offered up her own life to save me. And my uncle was broken after her death. Angela was his everything. He loved all his children but Angela was his favorite. She was everybody's favorite. He never got over it and said that he wished it was me who had died. Since then we don't speak to each other."

When Cynthia Rose ended her story everybody had tears in their eyes. Even Mrs. Jones and Miss Green were crying.

They needed a break after this heartbreaking story. Today was the day of many tears.

After they had cleaned them selves up and dried their tears, they were ready for Lilly's story. And they all were surprised to hear her talk in a completely normal voice.

"Lilly's confession"

"First of all I wanted to tell you that I love you all very much. I'm honored to have you as my friends. I admire each and every one of you to have the courage to share your story. And now it's my turn to be completely open and honest with you."

"My name is not Lilly. And I am not a student at Barden" she started.

"My real name is Laura, and I am thirtyfive years old. I am an FBI agent that worked here undercover for the past year."

She paused for a moment to let her words sink in.

"I was sent here on a mission to protect you Bella's" she continued. "I work for the department for the prevention of terrorism. And we received some information about an assassin who planned to kill you all. At that time we didn't know who or why. When the threathening became more serious, my boss decided I need to go undercover as Bella. He choose me because I could easily go for a teenager."

"So, I joined the Bella's and became a student again. In the mean time I was working on the case. Soon I found out who the assassin was. And know I needed proof to arrest her. It was hard to find evidence with all the Bella practice. But it in the end it worked in an advance for me. Because the assassin was one of us. It was Denise."

They all grasped in shock after hearing those words. But Lilly continued.

"I found out that Denise was a daughter of a family of assassins. And someone paid her two million dollars to kill you all. She planned everything from the beginning. Becoming your girlfriend Cynthia Rose" she said while looking at the girl.

"She joined the Bella's and learned anything about you to make her plan. The plan was to put a bomb in the bus. With a timer so she could get out of the bus in time. And that is what she did. I found out in time and disarmed the bomb. That is when Cynthia Rose saw me. I took her to her dorm and revealed my true identity. And I asked her to keep quiet, because I wanted to tell you myself. When I was finished telling the truth to Cynthia Rose I left to arrest Denise. And that is the reason why she isn't here today."

The silence that followed was deafening. And to the Bella's surprise, Bailey, the same Bailey that didn't say a word all day, shot up and ran to the bathroom crying…..
