Chapter 17

Chloe's POV

I walk back to my bedroom so I can go wake Beca up. She is still asleep on my bed. She looks so peaceful I don't want to disturb her. Last night after she got back she told me about everything that happened and how horrible her dad was to her and Aubrey. There was a lot of crying and I ended up holding her until she fell asleep. I feel so bad for them. I don't know what I would've done if that was how my parents acted when I came out to them. Even though I know Beca doesn't really like her dad I understand why she was so hurt by what he said. As much as she doesn't like it he is her only parent left and his opinion meant a lot to her. I just hope that he pulls his head out of his ass and apologizes to them.

After creepily staring at Beca for about 5 minutes I walk the rest of the distance to the bed. I kneel on the ground and shake her shoulder.

"Becs it's time to get up." I whisper in her ear. I hear her start to groan and she shoves her face into the pillow. "I know you want to sleep longer, but Stacie and I made pancakes and we have to go to practice in a couple hours"

"Do I have to?" She mumbles as her eyes flutter open to look at me.

"I think it will do you some good to be around the Bella's. It's better than sitting around doing nothing but stewing over what happened last night."

"Ugh you're probably right" I watch her move to get up from the bed.

"I usually am" This causes her to laugh. I'm hoping that she's feeling better than she was last night. I had never seen her look so sad, so broken before. "Come on, lets get some food before Bree and Stacie eat it all."

Beca follows me to the kitchen where Aubrey and Stacie are eating and making quiet conversation. As soon as we walked in an awkward silence fell over the room. Beca and I take a seat across from each other at the table.

"We have eggs, bacon, and pancakes Beca." Stacie says breaking the silence. "The coffee is almost done, I can get you a cup when it's done."

"Ummm thanks Stacie. I can get it myself though. I don't need you guys to do anything special for me. Just act like yesterday didn't happen. I'm fine." She is wearing an unreadable look on her face, but I can hear the sadness in her voice.

"Bec are you sure that you don't want to talk about last night? We can go to lunch or coffee or something to talk about it after practice today?" I hear Aubrey ask.

"Bree I said I'm fine! I don't need to talk about it. Let's just eat and go to practice." Beca snaps. Aubrey quickly lowers her head and goes back to eating her food.

The rest of breakfast was dead silent. I know she didn't mean it and needs some time to process everything. I give Beca some clothes to wear to practice once we are done eating then I head to the bathroom to change. After I finish changing and freshening up for the day I head back into my room. I see that Beca is done and is staring at her phone. When she hears me come in she quickly puts it away, which I find weird, but I don't think she will want me asking about it.

"You ready to go?" I ask casually.

"Ready as I'll ever be." We leave my room and meet Aubrey and Stacie by the front door to leave. We head over to the auditorium for practice. Surprisingly a couple girls are already there. Thankfully all of the girls are on time today so we can start right away. After warming up we run through the routine a couple times it's clear Beca is having a really off day. She is messing up the choreography more than usual and when I try to help her she keeps pulling away from my touch. Halfway through our third run through Aubrey interrupts.

"Beca, maybe you need to take a break?" Beca is already looking pissed off, Aubrey is starting something.

"Well maybe you need to mind your own business Aubrey!" Beca quickly snaps back.

"Beca all I'm saying is that you seem to be having a very off day and if you need to take the rest of the day off then you are free to."

"I think what my problem is, is that this setlist sucks! We all know we aren't going to win with it. Just look at how the last competition went! This choreo is stupid also! So maybe you should take a break Bree and fix this trainwreck!" Beca is almost screaming now and is staring Aubrey down. I've never seen them fight like this.

"Fuck you Beca! I'm trying to be nice. I know you are upset, but you don't need to take it out on me! I can't help that you can't understand the choreography. I don't know how you expect to learn it if we change it. We have a competition in two weeks, so nothing is changing." Aubrey yells back. "Now pull your head out of your ass and figure your shit out!"

Beca storms off stage and walks over to her bag and starts shoving things into it then starts to head towards the door.

"Yeah that's right storm off just like Dad!" Aubrey shouts. This causes Beca to stop in her tracks and turn around.

"Don't you ever compare me to that man! You know of the 2 of us if you think one of us is anything like that man, it's you! I was expecting him to hate me after last night, he's never liked me! He always finds something wrong with me. But you're the perfect one, you're exactly like HIM! You broke him yesterday and now he hates you, just like he hates me. If anyone is off today it's you. But you aren't going to admit that. In fact you are just going to entirely ignore what happened. I've already accepted it. I bet as soon as you start to think about it you start to feel your stomach churning, probably like how you feel right now."

As Beca is yelling at her I can see that Aubrey's face has paled and she has the look like she is about to puke. "You know what I can tell you're about to puke, so I'm just gonna go now so you can deal with that."

Beca turns and walks out the door slamming it behind her. I turn to look at the rest of the girls all of whom have their jaws hanging open and are very confused. Stacie quickly hurries over to Aubrey and pulls her into a hug and is trying to help her control her breathing to make sure she doesn't throw up.

"So is anyone going to tell us what just happened?" Fat Amy says after a few minutes of silence. There is a chorus of yeahs from the rest of the Bellas. Stacie whispers something in Aubrey's ear. Aubrey nods her head, whispers something back and stands up to walk back to in front of the chairs. All of the girls move to find a chair.

"Alright... I guess I can answer some questions you guys have. You deserve that much after what just happened." Aubrey announces.

"Is Beca like your sister?" Jessica, no Ashley, Jessica? asks, I still can't tell those 2 apart.

"Yes, Beca is my sister." Aubrey answers taking a deep breath.

"What happened last night?" CR asks

"Umm well I'm not sure if Beca wants you to know yet. It's not my place to tell you, so I'll just give you a broad picture. We had dinner with our dad last night and she said something to him that upset him and to try and help her I told my dad… something about me which pissed him off even more and he basically disowned us." Stacie stands up and walks over to Aubrey, putting an arm around her shoulders and grabbing her hand.

"So what's going on between you and legs?" Fat Amy asks. Stacie and Aubrey look at each other for a minute and Stacie nods her head.

"Umm well Stacie and I are… dating." Aubrey says, she looks hesitant for a minute, but then the relief slowly spreads across her face.

"I knew it!" CR shouts "I knew my gaydar was on point!" Everyone chuckles at this.

"Ok well I think it's safe to say that practice is over for today. See you all tomorrow, hopefully things will go better." I announce before anyone can ask anymore questions. All of the girls seem fine with ending 30 minutes early and all head to pack up.
