"You are WHAT?"

"In love"

"Beca. You are WHAT?"

"In love, Aubrey. Dammit I am IN LOVE!"

Beca slammed her palm on the table with her last words and all the clients at the coffee shop turned around to look at her. She blushed but tried ignoring them running her hand through her hair. Her eyes met Aubrey's waiting for the blonde to say something.

"Don't you dare asking me that again" Beca warned when Aubrey opened her mouth.

"I won't" Aubrey said shaking her head. "You... you seem quite sure about it" She stated clearing her throat somewhere in the sentence.

"Thank you" Beca said, leaning her back on the chair again and rolling her eyes.

"But why, Beca? I mean how? I mean... You broke her heart when she confessed her feelings for you" It was kind of funny to see Aubrey struggle with words. Beca sighed.

"It's not easy for me to be telling you this. I would tell anyone else but you, honestly" Beca said. Aubrey crossed her arms offended as Beca continued "But you're the only one who can take it as serious as it is. And you're also Chloe's best friend, I wanna make sure you're ok with it, you know?"

Aubrey burst out in laughter and made Beca laugh too. Again the other people were looking at them awkwardly. Suddenly Aubrey's phone buzzed with a new message and she picked it up, still laughing.

"It's Chloe" She said. "She wants to know where I am cause she needs me" The blonde looked at Beca with worried eyes. Beca checked her own phone but she didn't find any message and that made her feel upset. "Mitchell this is no time to be jealous" Aubrey joked, causing Beca to scrunch her face in an unfriendly way. The blonde typed a quick reply to Chloe.

"Did you tell her we're together? If you do she will start aski-"

"Relax Hobbit! God that toner's got you freaking out. I'll keep the secret" Aubrey smiled honestly. "I'll keep the secret because Chloe is my best friend and you can make her happy, Hobbit"

"You really enjoy calling me that, don't you?" Serious Beca asked. Exaggerating the seriousness.

"Yes I do" Aubrey answered getting up and grabbing her bag. "And I am leaving now to check on your sweetheart. If you need advice on love matters you should ask someone else. Bye!" She walked away after receiving a punch in her arm from Beca at the word Sweetheart.

Aubrey opened the door to her apartment and immediately started coughing because of the smoke that was coming from the kitchen. She thought the place was on fire and hurried inside calling for Chloe. She found the redhead coughing too, in front of the open oven taking out some burnt things on a tray from it.

"Chloe what's going on? Are you ok?" Aubrey asked opening the window to let the smoke get out of the room faster. Chloe nodded and coughed for a while longer, sadly staring at her failed cookies.

"I'm sorry Bree, but you were taking too long and I wanted to try... Where have you been anyway?" Chloe said and asked curious.

"Are you serious? You almost freaking burnt the place and you ask where I have been?" Aubrey crossed her arms annoyed. "I came as fast as I could because you needed me, according to that text you sent. Don't tell me you needed me to make cookies..."

Chloe looked down feeling ashamed and without words Aubrey understood.

"Chloe! I thought you had a panic attack or something, dammit! Nest time please add information to the message, will you? Now help me clean this, come on"

Both friends started cleaning the mess and throwing away the black things that were destined to be called cookies in some other life. After a few minutes the silence was broken by Aubrey's laugh. It started low and paused but it got louder and funnier so Chloe went from surprised to amused and started chuckling too.

"What?" The redhead asked.

"You're always the same dork" Aubrey said, earning a playful slap from her friend. "Remember the sleepover at your grandma's? You woke me up in the middle of the night to make surprise drawings as a birthday present for her..." She started laughing again so Chloe continued.

"Oh yeah! And we found those papers but couldn't find pencils on anything, so we-"

"So we used her lipsticks! All of them!" Aubrey interrupted, and both best friends were almost crying from laughter at the memory.

"Shit she wanted to kill us the next day! She found us sleeping on the couch surrounded by the drawings. But she loved them so we survived" More laughter.

When they were finally able to catch their breath, Chloe let out a big sigh and recovered the serious expression.

"I'm sorry Bree, I really wanted to learn how to make cookies... I want to make them with Beca" The redhead said shyly. Aubrey hugged her tightly.

"It's ok, Chlo. But next time just wait for me. Let's start over? I'll teach you, it's pretty easy" Aubrey said reassuringly.

A minute later they were ready to start with the explanation and Aubrey broke the comfortable silence.

"So Beca, huh? You two get along pretty well again now. The other day in the park you had so much fun" She was smiling kindly at Chloe, who smiled back.

"Yeah... we're friends again now and tonight we'll go out again"

"That's awesome, Chlo. Do you... like her? Aubrey asked carefully. Chloe immediately shook her head but didn't say anything. Aubrey squeezed her arms comfortingly.

"No I... we're just friends. I won't make the same mistake again" Chloe said finally with a sad smile. Then she started grabbing ingredients meaning the conversation was over. Aubrey looked at her friend with sad eyes and sighed to herself.

"You're WHAT?"

"Amy please..."

"Say it again, short stack. Come on"

"Ugh. I am in love with Chloe, Amy" Beca said to the phone, rolling her eyes. She immediately had to pull the phone away from her ear because Amy screamed too loudly.

"YAAAAAASSSS FINALLY! FINALLYYYY! THAT BITCH FLO OWES ME $50"

"What? Finally? What do you mean?" Beca asked blushing.

"Beca, all the Bellas noticed the sexual tension between you two" Amy said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "And is it true you met in a shower?"

"Yes bu-"

"YAAAAASS STACIE OWES ME ANOTHER $50"

"Hey listen, Amy" Beca said, rolling her eyes again. "Please don't yell, I want to keep my ear. What do I do?"

"Hmm well I pretty much think you already screwed up" Amy answered honestly.

"I did, but we are friends again now. I am helping her out and... ugh I just don't wanna leave her when she is better" Beca confessed running her hand through her hair.

"Relax, first step was bumping Jesse. That's done" Amy made a sound with her mouth as if she was scratching words on a list. "Second step, getting Chloe to talk to you again" Same noise. Beca waited patiently resting her forehead on her palm on the table. "Third step, becoming friends with her. Fourth step, getting her to love you. Easy" Amy concluded.

"Seriously? It is not easy, Amy. That's the fucking problem!" Beca said frustrated.

"She loved you once, right?"

"Well yes bu-"

"She can love you again. Just be yourself, Mitchell. You're the big BM! You can do anything!" Amy exclaimed, and Beca chuckled at the memories from Barden.

"Thanks Amy" The brunette said.

"Nah you helped me earn $100 today! Just make her feel special around you and you'll have Ginger crazy for ya. We can sing at the wedding!" Amy said reassuringly. "Just one more thing... you considered jumping in the pool with her at that party...?"

"Oh yes I did" Beca answered chuckling at the memory of drunk Chloe jumping in the pool and inviting everybody to join.

"YAAAAAASSS-" Amy started. Beca hang up the phone shaking her head at her friend's craziness and smiling widely.
