Hey guys! I'm so sorry, I know it's been a while. I just got back from a trip to Vienna and managed to get tonsillitis, so I haven't been feeling up to doing much recently. I'll try to update within a week but I'm not entirely sure where this is going, I'll still try though. Hope you guys are having a good day or night or whatever it is where you guys are! :) Hope you guys have a great week next week!

It was 9:01 PM. The sleepover had officially started at 9:00 but Beca was still standing outside. She really didn't want to go in. She couldn't. If she went to sleep then chances were she was going to have a nightmare. She would look like such an idiot. Waking up all the other girls by crying over something that didn't actually happen was not something she was going to do. It made her look so weak and that wasn't okay with Beca. She was so used to dealing with things on her own that getting help had started to seem, unacceptable.

Looking back down at her watch Beca realised she was now five minutes late. Aubrey was going to throw such a fit and wouldn't that be a fun start to this already horrific night…unless she didn't go in. She could claim she was ill or something. Maybe cramps would be a good excuse, the Bellas would have to understand that, surely. Just as Beca made up her mind to magically fall ill, the door opened.

'Are you planning on sleeping out here?' Aubrey asked, raising her eyebrow slightly.

That eyebrow caused many problems for Beca. It was irritating to say the least but it also had the ability to make Beca squirm, something she wasn't overly pleased about. Pushing her shoulders back, Beca took a deep breath and tipped her head to the side, crossing her arms.

'Actually yeah. Care to join?'

Aubrey rolled her eyes and lent against the frame of the door.

'Can you even go one sentence without being sarcastic?' She asks, exasperated.

Beca smirks, loving that she seems to be able to get under Aubrey's skin so easily.

'Yeah well, sarcasm keeps me from telling people what I really think of them, so it's a win, win situation Posen.' Beca says, still smirking even as she realises exactly how much she just revealed.

Aubrey's eyes narrowed and she walked the short distance to stand in front of Beca. She raised that evil eyebrow again and crossed her arms, jutting her hip to one side.

'Really?' She asked, leaning in slightly as she did so.

Beca swallowed, she had been leaning against the wall whilst hovering outside and now realised that it left her no room to move away from Aubrey. Not without brushing past her anyway and for some reason, Beca felt as though that would make the situation worse. Bringing her eyes level with Aubrey's, even as she tilted her head down, she said,

'Yeah, really.' With as much confidence as she could muster. Which wasn't enough to stop Aubrey from asking,

'Well then, what do you really think of me?'

Was Beca imagining it or did Aubrey press even closer as she asked that? Beca tried hard to keep her eyes on Aubrey's, she had never had a problem with it before but Aubrey was really close. As in Beca could feel her body heat close and it was messing with Beca's head slightly. Aubrey cleared her throat quietly and Beca realised she had let her eyes drop without thinking. She now appeared to be staring at her chest. Oh, shit.

Beca raised her eyes once more to meet Aubrey's and realised that her eyebrow had practically disappeared into her hairline. Her lips were settled into a slight smirk that seemed to be equal parts amused and mocking. Beca felt a small blush spread across her cheeks and she subtly squirmed in place as she tried to figure out a way to diffuse the awkward situation.

Turns out she didn't have to as the door behind Aubrey opened wider and Chloe stepped into the hall.

'Hey Bree, how come - ' Chloe halted mid question as she caught sight of Beca, 'Oh my God, you actually came! Hi!' She squealed, pushing into the miniscule gap between Aubrey and Beca to wrap her arms around the younger girl.

Beca watched as Aubrey took a step back, giving Beca another small smirk before once again leaning against the doorframe of the apartment. Feeling as though she had just experienced enough space invasion to last her a life time, Beca placed her arms on Chloe's hips and gently pushed her away. Chloe pouted as she pulled back, a slight questioning look in her eyes but thankfully she didn't say anything, just grabbed Beca's bag and held out her hand. Beca rolled her eyes, folding her arms across her chest and giving Chloe a pointed look. Chloe shrugged and let her hand fall back to her side, not in the least disheartened by Beca's refusal. Beca smiled slightly at the familiarity of herself and Chloe and pushed off the wall to head into the apartment. At least that's where she would have gone had her vision not gone fuzzy and black.

Beca stumbled and flung her arm out to try to grab onto something to stop her from falling. Her efforts were met with someone else taking hold of her extended arm. Seeing as it was her only option, she leant against the person holding her arm. Leaving them to support most of her weight, she pulled her other hand up to her eyes, covering them and squeezing them shut in hopes that it would help to clear her vision.

After what felt like minutes but was probably only thirty seconds, Beca could see clearly again but she still felt quite shaky. Realising that she was still leaning on someone Beca went to move away, only to be met with the grip on her arm tightening. She looked up to see Aubrey watching her with a frown. She quickly moved her eyes to find Chloe standing off to the side, her expression one of extreme concern. She actually looked kind of upset, to be honest. Beca shook her head, trying to pull away from Aubrey again but Aubrey wasn't having any of it. She slid her arm behind Beca to rest on the small of her back, gently pushing her forward into the apartment, all the while keeping a tight grip on Beca's upper arm.

Beca relented, letting Aubrey push/lead her into the apartment where she was met with a blast of music. She looked around to see all the girls either dancing or drinking, most doing both. She caught a glimpse of Amy in what looked like the kitchen, mixing various bottles of alcohol together in a huge plastic bowl. Shaking her with a sigh she realised that Amy would most likely make her drink some of that, whatever she was calling it now.

Beca was pulled out of her thoughts as Aubrey gently pushed her down into a chair. Beca glanced up to see the frown still on her face. Aubrey opened her mouth, no doubt to start questioning Beca's earlier episode. However, before she could get a word out, Beca's knight in shining armour appeared. In the form of Stacie.

'Beca!'

Beca could tell the girl was already slightly tipsy. Stacie grabbed onto Beca's forearms and hauled her out of the chair.

'Beca, come dance with me! This sleepover is aca-awesome!' Stacie practically shouted.

Beca winced slightly but stepped towards the mob of dancing girls. Even dancing sounded better than talking to Aubrey right now. However, Aubrey's arm reached out to grip the back of Beca's shirt.

'Stacie, I don't think…'

The rest of Aubrey's sentence was cut off as Beca pulled away from her grip and marched into the throng of girls, Stacie in tow. Taking the glass that Stacie now had in her hand, she threw the drink back and placed it on a coffee table. She put her arms up and began to move her hips in an attempt to copy Stacie's movements and eventually found her own beat to move to, with the help of Amy's magic mix that is.

Over an hour of dancing and drinking and Beca was still going strong. She thinks it has more to do with how buzzed she is then anything else. Opening her eyes as she's bumped into yet again, her vision is assaulted by red. It takes her a second to realise that it's the back of Chloe's head. It takes her another couple of seconds to realise that Chloe has now turned around and is dancing even closer to Beca than before. She's practically on top of the girl. The thought makes Beca flush slightly but she shakes her head and blames the alcohol.

Closing her eyes again Beca lets her hips move to the beat and loses herself. This is the closest she has ever been to actually letting go with the Bellas and she finds it surprising that she is enjoying herself immensely. However, she tenses slightly when she feels Chloe moving in closer, close enough that Beca can smell the shampoo she uses. Strawberry, it's nice. Beca's eyes snap open as she realises how creepy that is and as she attempts to shift away from the redhead, she finds herself making eye contact with the blonde across the room. Aubrey's expression is one that Beca can't decipher and trying to do so will probably end up giving her a headache, so instead Beca returns her focus to extracting herself from the mob of girls and flopping down onto the couch.

Beca immediately curls up in the corner, placing an elbow on the arm of the couch and resting her head in her hand. Her moment of solitude is quickly broken though, as Beca feels the couch dip slightly. Raising her head to look sideways she's met with the unbearably bright grin of a pretty far gone redhead. Stifling a groan that Chloe is the one to sit with her, Beca shifts so that she is curled up facing Chloe instead of the armrest.

Beca expects questions. Why did you get dizzy? Why do you look like crap? Stuff like that but all Chloe does is let her head fall onto Beca's shoulder, snuggling into her side. Beca attempts to shift away but Chloe's arms wrap around one of Beca's, essentially hugging it and trapping her on the couch.

Beca is about to try to dislodge the redhead when one of the girls calls out,

'Movie time!'

Beca lets her head fall against the back of the couch and groans. She hates movies and the Bellas know this. Yeah, The Breakfast Club was alright but pretty much every other movie sucks. So not only does she have to sit through a potentially sucky movie without falling asleep but she has to do it with Chloe practically sitting on top of her. The girl really needs to learn the words personal space.

As it turns out, staying awake isn't that hard. The movie wasn't the worst thing Beca had ever seen, still predictable but it was a horror film and it was pretty funny to see the characters die. Every time anything freaky happened pretty much everyone would shriek. Jessica and Ashley were on the floor clutching each other. Lilly was sat sideways in an arm chair and had been completely silent throughout the movie. Well, chances were she did say something but no-one heard anything. Stacie was lying on her stomach, completely engrossed with the film as Cynthia-Rose sat cross legged next to her. Fat Amy was leaning against the couch, right where Beca's feet would be if she stretched out. Aubrey had chosen to sit on the other side of Chloe but with the lights off Beca had a hard enough time figuring out where she ended and where Chloe started so remembering that Aubrey was there wasn't exactly priority.

Chloe jumped as another scream came from the TV, echoed by the rest of the Bellas. Beca reached her arm out to pat her leg in an attempt to provide comfort. Considering she had placed her closest arm along the back of the sofa, she was now essentially hugging Chloe. Realising this Beca went to pull back, only for a hand to shoot out and grab hers as one of the main characters was being dragged away. Beca stiffened at the contact. Both of Chloe's hands were fisted in the material of Beca's shirt, so it had to have been Aubrey's hand. She must have thought she was grabbing Chloe. When Aubrey didn't let go Beca sighed. She couldn't be bothered to pull her hand away and have to explain the situation, so she just tried to ignore the fact that Aubrey's thumb was now rubbing circles on the back of Beca's hand.

The lights came back on, blinding Beca for a moment. She felt Aubrey's hand retract from hers and looked up to see the blonde smiling softly at her before turning to the rest of the girls.

'Alright ladies, it's almost one AM so we should get some sleep.' Aubrey announced.

No-one really protested, apart from Amy who mumbled something about 'the wild parties where no-one slept for weeks' she had been to. Aubrey just looked at her.

'Anyway, we have two blow up mattresses, one single and one double. The single will be put in here and the couch is a pull out. Cynthia-Rose, Lilly and Fat Amy will be in here. Jessica and Ashley, you two will be in Chloe's room. It's a double bed so don't worry. The rest of us will be in my room with the blow up double.'

Beca rolled her eyes, trust Aubrey to have planned this down to a tee. Then she froze. Wait, the rest of us? Aubrey hadn't said Beca's name, meaning she was included in the 'rest of us' group. Meaning she was sleeping in Aubrey's room. Meaning she was either sharing a bed with her, Stacie or Chloe. This was not going to end well.

Hope you guys enjoyed! Let me know what you think and maybe tell me a little about youselves. I want to know about you awesome people and as long as they are appropriate I'll answer any questions you ask :)
