With her heart fully set on heading to the coffee shop down the street from her apartment and heading to the quad to relax before she returned to the battlefield which her apartment was sure to become, Stacie instead found herself standing outside the apartment door of one gorgeous redhead and one small but seemingly badass DJ.
Knocking on the door softly, Stacie was not expecting to hear any sounds within the apartment – thinking that the redhead was emotionally exhausted and had gone to sleep – however as she raised her hand to knock again, she heard a soft voice call out, letting her know she could come in. What she saw, when she opened the door was something she anticipated but was not prepared for.

"Mitchell, what the hell did you do to my best friend?"
Not in the mood for one of Aubrey's well-prepared rants about how the DJ was in no way good enough for her best friend and how she had royally screwed up her relationship with her girlfriend, Beca was no in mood to hold back on her sarcasm. "Ahh Aubrey, it's lovely as always to see you; may I ask why I have the pleasure of your company on such a fine day when you could be out doing a number of other things? Can I suggest playing in traffic?"
"Shut up Beca and listen to me right now, okay?" The sudden shift of tone in Aubrey's voice threw Beca off as the former captain of the Bella's went from her usual stern, no-nonsense voice to one of almost sympathy. "I know you love Chloe, anyone with eyes can see it, hell even a blind person can feel the love between the two of you which is why I'm not here to rant at you."
"You're not?" This soft side of Aubrey frankly scared Beca more so than Aubrey being her usual self and she spoke timidly, waiting for the other shoe to drop. "Why are you here?"
"Because Chloe called me, sobbing on the phone about you kissing some 'slut named Casey' and after going over to your apartment to console your distraught girlfriend, I realised that despite being the size of a rock, you're a rock with feelings."
"Her name was actually Ashley." Beca corrected Aubrey to which she received the famous 'Posen Glare' in return. "Really Mitchell, I tell you that your girlfriend is distraught and is absolutely terrified of losing you and what you pick up on is the fact that she got the name of the girl you hooked up with – and don't think I'm letting you get away with that by the way – wrong."
"I didn't even hook up with her though, she kissed me and as soon as I realised what was happening which was pretty damn early on if I do say so myself, I stopped her and left the party straight away, coming home to Chloe. She wouldn't listen to me though and I don't' know what I'm meant to do." Beca sighed, letting her head drop into her hands as Aubrey moved to sit on the desk next to her, gently patting her on the shoulder. "I can't lose her, I haven't even had her for long enough; it hasn't been forever yet."
"I know, Beca, but I promise you, you and Chloe will move past this. You've been together for almost a year and everyone knows your feelings extended far longer than that; she's already forgiven you, you just need to give her time to accept what's happened."
"But what do I do in the meantime?"
"I'm going to be honest with you, I don't know."
"Then what the hell are you doing here?" Beca looked up smirking at the blonde next to her, silently grateful for her support although she'd never admit it.
"To help you think of a plan to get my best friend back because you're too stupid to do it on your own." She'd never admit it either but Aubrey kind of liked the small brunette and thought they were both in good company. The fact that Beca's best friend was smoking hot as well didn't hurt one bit.

When Stacie opened the door to Beca and Chloe's apartment, the first thing she noticed was the redhead curled up near the end of the couch in the lounge room, surrounded by tissues and wearing a flannel shirt that looked suspiciously like a certain DJ's favourite shirt. "Hey Chlo, how you doing?"
"Did she send you? Is she at your place now?" Chloe replied with a raspy voice and as she looked up, Stacie noticed how red the girl's eyes were, as if the amount of tissues around her were not enough evidence that she had been crying heavily.
"Chlo, Beca doesn't know I came to see you otherwise she would've demanded to come as well to get round two of apologising out of the way; however, she is at my place probably facing the wrath of a certain blonde dictator as we speak."
Chloe's eyes shot up at this revelation; "You left her alone with Aubrey? Bree left here about an hour ago; she's gone to your place to give Beca a piece of her mind."
"Are you worried about Beca?" Stacie fought to control her smirk, barely being able to replace it with a concerned look on her face.
"I'm more worried about the state your apartment will be in when you return." Chloe deadpanned before smiling slightly as Stacie chuckled at her response before she responded; "Beca and Aubrey are two stubborn people who have never seen eye-to-eye but I suppose you and I love them anyway, right?"
"Right," Chloe smiled sadly at Stacie, her eyes brimmed with tears before she realised the revelation within Stacie's words, " Wait a minute… you're in love with my best friend?"
Stacie laughed wholeheartedly at Chloe's surprise, "Chlo, I've loved that girl since I auditioned for the Bella's; four years ago; I didn't go full sexual-mode on stage for the enjoyment of the Treblemakers."
Chloe laughed as recollections of Stacie's rendition of Kelly Clarkson's 'Since You've Been Gone' filled her mind however it soon died away when she remembered Beca's unique audition; "I guess we both fell in love that day." The lump in her throat returned as she whispered to Stacie, "What do I do Stace; I mean I love her and I know she didn't mean for the kiss to happen but I don't know if I can trust her at the moment even though it wasn't her fault."
"I know, sweetie but it's Beca; 'The Beca effing Mitchell' and she loves you so much that in the four years that I've known you both, I've seen her cry once and that was when she was banging on my door this morning." In an effort to console Chloe, this only seemed to spur on her tears as the tall brunette pulled her into a hug, rocking gently back and forth on the lounge, silently praying that World War III wasn't occurring back at her apartment.

"So you really think this plan will work?"
"Beca, the plan is full-proof, absolutely nothing can go wrong. You're accident-prone so I've removed all possible danger hazards from the plan; you're short so I've removed any steps that may be difficult considering you're what, like three feet tall? And finally, when have any of my plans ever gone wrong?"
"You make a good point about the first and last point, however I'm going to ignore the insult about my height because I'll have you know that good things come in small packages." Beca rolled her eyes however smiling when she realised this was probably the first time that her and Aubrey had been alone and had not fought at all. "Do you really think the plan will work though?"
Aubrey gave herself a moment to regain composure before she used physical bodily harm to knock sense into the small DJ; "I swear Mitchell, if this plan doesn't work, I'll… uhhh… so I don't actually know what I'll do, but Beca, I promise that you and my best friend, you're the best thing in each other's lives and you'll work it out, no matter how long it takes."
Beca smiled softly at her words, "You know Posen, sometimes you're actually not that much of a bad person."
Aubrey laughed at Beca's attempt at kindness as she patted her leg before standing up and moving toward the door to leave, "Ahh Mitchell, if only I could say the same," they both laughed as she walked away toward the front door, calling over her shoulder before she closed the door behind her.
"Now go get your girl and do not, I repeat DO NOT, go against our plan of attack."
Alright so that's chapter 2, if you like it, please review and tell me what you think, if you want something to happen, put it in the review box and if you don't like something, let me know and I'll do my best to change it.
