Chapter 20

Beca's POV

We made it back to my room and Chloe instantly stripped my bedding off my bed and brought it to get washed. Then she ordered some pizza. I turned on my phone to see a number of new messages from Chloe, about 5 from Jesse and a handful from the Bella's. I responded to the girls to let them know that I am fine, but I'm still not sure when I will be coming back to practice. I told Jesse I was doing better and that I was thankful he was willing to take my shifts at the station the last few days and that maybe I'll be able to go back to work in a couple days. After about 15 minutes of silence between me and Chloe I finally break the silence.

"I'm sorry Chlo."

"It's ok Becs, you went through a lot the last few days."

"No it's not ok. I should've texted you back at least. I shouldn't have snapped at Aubrey. I shouldn't have made a scene at Bella's rehearsals. I shouldn't have come out to my dad. This whole week has been a disaster!" I let my head drop into my hands as I feel tears start to fall from my eyes. I feel Chloe's arms wrap around me.

"You're allowed to feel upset Beca. You're allowed to feel sad and angry about what happened, but don't feel like you need to hide who you are. I'm so proud of you for coming out to your dad. You can't control how he reacted. You also can't control what Aubrey did. You didn't force her to come out to your dad. She wasn't ready and that's ok, but she has to deal with her decisions, it's not on you. She's going to be fine and so are you."

"She hates me now though. I know she does." I manage to get out between sobs.

"She doesn't hate you. She just needs some space right now."

"No she hates me. We've never fought like that before and I was horrible to her. I don't blame her if she doesn't talk to me anymore. I wouldn't if I were her." The tears are uncontrollable now and I am having a hard time breathing. I feel Chloe's arms still holding me and she is rubbing my back. I don't know how long she holds me like this, but it was long enough for the pizza to arrive.

Chloe lets go of me to answer the door. I wipe the tears from my eyes and try to compose myself. The smell of pizza floods the room and suddenly I realize how hungry I am. I fill up my plate and go sit back down on my bed. Chloe does the same and sits next to me. We fall into a light conversation about some professor that Chloe has that she is sure hates her and how she's afraid she is going to fail the class because of him. It's nice to just sit and listen to her. I didn't realize how much I missed Chloe even though it's only been 2 days. After we finish eating we grab my laptop and Chloe picks out some random show to watch on netflix while we lay in my bed holding each other. It feels nice, being like this with her. I am starting to feel better about the events that took place this week. After watching I don't know how many episodes I realize that it's getting pretty late.

"Hey Chlo, we should probably head to bed. Isn't there Bella's practice tomorrow?" Choe pauses the show and checks the time

"Oh wow, yeah! I didn't even realize how late it got! Do you mind if I spend the night here? I don't really want to walk across campus by myself this late." Chloe looks nervous asking me for some reason.

"Yeah of course! Wouldn't want you to get kidnapped." I say with a slight chuckle.

"Thanks Becs!" I grab the laptop from her and plug it in on my desk then climb back into bed. The instant I am laying down again I feel Chloe wrap her arms around my waist and pull me closer. I find myself enjoying the contact and even placing my arm on top of hers. I feel safe with her arms wrapped around me. My eyelids feel really heavy and I know I will be asleep soon.

"Good night Becs!" I vaguely hear Chloe whisper to me

"Good night Chlo, I love you."

Aubrey's POV

I feel bad for kind of storming out on Chloe. I have been pretty rude to her the last couple of days. I've been rude to most people these last few days. I know I need to work on it. I know I need to sit and think about everything that has happened, but it's easier to just bury myself in work. It's what I usually do. I didn't lie to Chloe, I am meeting Stacie, but I did leave probably a half an hour sooner than I needed to. I take my time walking to her dorm room, however I'm still 20 minutes early for our dinner date. I knock on Stacie's door and it's opened almost instantly by her.

"Sorry I'm early. Couldn't stand being in the apartment with Chloe any longer. She keeps asking me about Beca and I don't want to think about her right now. I just need some time away from her. I'll apologize to her eventually, but I don't understand why it's even my job. She said way meaner things to me than I said to her. It's not f-" I suddenly feel Stacie's lips against mine and let my eyes slide closed as I ease into the kiss. After a few seconds Stacie pulls away.

"Bree, I love you, but you need to calm down. Lets just enjoy our dinner tonight and we don't need to talk about your family at all, okay?" I nod my head and follow Stacie into her room.

"Alright now since you decided to come 10 years early to pick me up I still need to finish getting ready." I stick my tongue out at her 10 year remark.

"What do you mean you still need to get ready? You look gorgeous already babe!" I see a slight blush start to form on her cheeks.

"I just need to change my outfit, then we can go." I watch her disappear into her closet and emerge in a flowy button up top and some jeans.

"Well damn! I thought you looked gorgeous before but somehow you got even hotter!"

"Shut up. We all know that I'm the lucky one here, like look at you. Pretty sure I win at having the sexiest girlfriend!" I walk up to her and pull her in for another kiss, this time longer than the first with a little more passion to it.

"Alright, are you ready to head out?" I ask after pulling away from the kiss.

"After you" Staice holds the door open for me.

We walk hand in hand for about 10 minutes to one of the nicer restaurants in town. As soon as we get to the building I open the door for Stacie and walk in. There are 2 couples in line in front of us waiting to be seated. Stacie wraps one arm around my waist and pulls me close next to her. I wrap my arms around her in return and lean my head against her shoulder. Suddenly I get the urge to kiss her. I am about to fight it off when I realize that I am out now, I can do whatever I want. I take my head off Stacie's shoulder and look up at her face. She is looking down at me. I take one of my hands off of her waist and move it up to her cheek. I see a small smile start to spread across Stacie's face when I start to pull her in for a kiss.

Just as our lips meet I hear a throat clear beside me. "Are you fucking kidding me? I can't believe this! In fucking public!" I hear a male voice shout. I pull away from Stacie to turn and look at the man that interrupted us.
