Wow, this is the longest one yet… and a little different too, this is not the usual Bechloe stuff. Prepare yourself for a Mitchen ship
9. it's like blood, warm and pure
It's not like I chose to be like this, I'd give anything to be just a normal person. But that also brings me to the question what is normal and just like most of the people who spend too much time thinking about it, I can't find an answer. But this is me trying to be normal, not trying to fit in, just trying to be normal, for once. It's why I attended Barden, it's why I joined the Bella's and it's why I refuse to let myself go. Once the blood starts flowing, that's when the shit gets real.
All this doesn't mean I don't train, that would be stupid. I'm kinda like Eleven from Stranger Things, just stronger, not in an institution, not in love with a boy and most certainly not fighting a demon from another dimension. Oh, and one more thing, Eleven gets nosebleeds and I don't.
Now you might think something like "wow, that's awesome" (or "omg what a freak") but there are some side effects, I'm always twitching. Constantly shaking, and since I'm not that big either it is often mistaken that I'm shy, which I'm not. And I always wear sunglasses, my eyes are weird. I don't know what caused it but they keep changing colours, like every minute. Not even the normal colours like green, blue and brown, nope, that wouldn't have been a problem. My eyes can go from purple to yellow to black in a matter of minutes and it's really creepy so unless I absolutely have to I keep on my sunglasses, only like times we perform I put in these blue lenses so the colour changing looks less obvious.
I'm just an 19 year old woman that sings a cappella with her friends and is trying to get a college degree, not sure why but whatever, don't judge me. My father got me this place at Barden, he works here and it was nice of him to do after all the years I haven't seen him. He flipped the city as soon as the shit got real and I don't blame him. I would've freaked out if I were him, but I'm not and it still hurt a little.
I've been in the Bella's for 6 months now and we managed to get a fine set, still the same old boring songs but as much as I tried, Aubrey won't stop being such a bitch. Rehearsals started 5 minutes ago so I should probably make my way over there, I blink and the forest around me disappears, now I'm standing outside the auditorium. I feel my eyes water, still feels weird. I put up my pilot glasses and quickly wipe my eyes before I make my way in, prepared to be shouted at
"I don't know why you even bother showing up Beca!" yup, I was right
"I missed five minutes, so what. I just had some shit to do"
"What could possibly be more important than THIS" she's definitely angry now, Jesus
"what got your panties up in a bunch" I smirk, easily avoiding the question. The blonde is now fuming, but she doesn't say anything so I walk to my chair and sit down, raising an eyebrow as if I'm daring Aubrey to say something. Looks like she's the responsible one as she takes a deep breath and continues with the rehearsal
"take of your glasses Beca" Aubrey never liked me, or my habits, but she'll never understand me
"no, I'd rather not"
"care to explain why, or are you just gonna sit there and expect us to deal with your shit every single day, I can't be the only one who has had enough of your attitude"
"I'm warning you, you won't like what you see" my smile falls as I realise that I can't really go around this, then an idea pops into my mind.
"I'll decide that" the next moment all the lights go out and chairs start moving around by themselves, a small fire is starting in the corner and all the Bella's are screaming and trying to find a way out of the room. The door bursts open out of nowhere and everyone runs out, I feel that my cheeks are wet but I can't leave without putting out the fire. I grab the fire extinguisher and put out the fire, I don't wait for the other Bella's to return and run to the nearest bathroom, looking in the mirror and taking my glasses off. I'm so focussed on myself that I don't hear the door open and don't notice anyone behind me until it's too late. it's Aubrey, out of all of them, it's Aubrey. Not that I mind, she can be a controlling bitch but when you look past all that Aubrey is a nice and lovable person. So lovable that she has me crushing hard on her, but not that I'd ever stand a chance, she obviously hates my guts.
"oh my god Beca! Are you alright?"
I nod and continue to wash my face,
"how- why is your face covered in blood, are you hurt"
"no, I'm fine. The blood comes from my eyes, it's called Heamolacria" I'm suddenly very aware that I'm not wearing my glasses and Aubrey is staring straight into my eyes, I can't make myself look away. I raise my hand and put her hair behind her ear, the blonde notices how my I'm shaking.
"I'm sorry for that, I can't help it" I tilt my head one way and look at my crush "don't get mad at me for asking but why did you come after me? I mean, out of any of the girls you hate me the most so why come after me"
Aubrey sights and runs a hand through her hair "I never hated you, I don't think I'm capable of doing that, I just wished you'd put some more effort into you actions. You always act so careless"
New tears find their way down my cheeks but Aubrey wipes them away "I'm sorry Bree, I'm just scared and sad to know that I will never get what I want"
Curiosity getting the better of the blonde Posen "what do you want most?"
"you" it comes out as a whisper and is barely audible but Aubrey heard it, my eyes shut for a sec "I want you to be mine, but I understand if you don't want me. Most of all I want us to stop shouting at each other, because I really like you Aubrey and it hurts to know that you'll never like me" I wipe my eyes and put my glasses back on, this silence says enough. Aubrey looks shocked, I did it, I got a Posen speechless. So I turn to leave
"wait! Beca, I said that I didn't like you, I was just pissed because I thought you could never like me, so I tried to hate you to stop myself from falling for you but I never could" I can't believe what I'm hearing but a smirk pulls at my lips, Aubrey is going to say more but I cut her off by pressing my lips against hers. She kisses me back, it's confirming that she likes me too.
"would you like to go on a date with me Aubrey?"
"I'd love that"
XOXOXOXOX
A month later we're still going strong, Aubrey's now my girlfriend and I love her, more than anything. That's why I'm taking her to my favourite place ever, well, she's driving but she doesn't know where we're going. I sense something coming and look around us, there's a truck heading straight towards us, he's speeding. I have about 5 seconds to do something "Aubrey I love you" I say and I put my hand on her arm, she looks at me confused and then she's gone. I brought her to school, back home and am about to do the same with myself when I feel the truck hit our car. I feel bones break and am not in the right mind to do anything with to help myself anymore, the pain is too much. That's when I close my eyes and drift away, with a smile on my face because I know my girlfriend is save.
XOXOXOXOX
I slowly open my eyes. Wait, I'm not dead? How am I not dead, this doesn't look like heaven or hell. A face appears above mine, I take that back, this must be heaven. But if it's heaven does that mean she's dead. Panic rises in me, did she not get home save?! Omg, I killed her.
"becs" her voice reaches my ears "Beca" it's louder this time, I look for her "Beca!" Aubrey is now shouting "please baby, you can't die, I need you, I love you" the last words come out as a whisper and I finally find the face I was looking for, my hand grabs hers and give it a gentle squeeze. That's about all I can do without hurting myself
"you're not getting rid of that easy Posen" relieve washes over her face "are you okay?"
The blonde smiles "I should be the on asking you that but yeah, I'm a little confused but I'm okay"
"you can ask you know" she nods and looks down at our hands, I intertwine our fingers and it brings a smile to her face, god I love her smile
"how did you get me out of the car, let alone home and how did you even know the truck was coming, why did you not save yourself"
"holy shit Bree, that's more than one question but okay" I take a deep breath "I felt the truck coming so I teleported you back to Barden, I was about to do the same with myself but I was too late"
"what do you mean teleport"
"just like I said, I have these powers Bree and I don't know how I got them but I can move things with my mind, I can travel a thousand miles in a matter of seconds, I'm a freak and I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd leave" Aubrey leans in and kisses me
"I'm never going leave you, you're stuck with me forever" I scoot over and Aubrey lays down next to me "you're gonna have to show me these powers of yours, you're not joking right? You're serious?"
"Dixie chicks"
And as I get lost in Aubrey's eyes I realise something,
She makes me happy
