It's Time (MITCHSEN)

Little longer than the other chapters. Sorry!

The Bellas had gone home still processing the fact that Beca and Aubrey were together.

After the restaurant, they made their way to the couples apartment. It was a litte hard to fit everybody in there. Most of the girls had to stand or sit on the floor, but they didn't mind.

All of the apartment screamed both Aubrey and Beca. They knew it was love when it resembled both of them and not just Aubrey because they would've thought that Aubrey would have the main say in everything, not giving into her partner.

The rest of the day consisted of everybody mentioning things that they should have seen, as they looked back on the last three years, that now that they look at it, it makes sense that they were dating.

As the girls went through a bunch of memories, Beca and Aubrey cuddled on the couch, laughing, scowling, blushing, and correcting and pointing things out to the Bellas.

It was a good day in all. Even after the girls left the house, Beca and Aubrey's phones were blowing up and they had to put it on do not disturb as the dinging kept interrupting their activities.

The next morning Aubrey was of course, up very early. Today, she got up at five. She did a strenuous workout in the gym their apartment building had, trying to get her mind off of the dinner tonight.

She worked out for almost two hours before Beca woke up and came to find her.

Beca woke up slightly and reached out for Aubrey, but she wasn't there. She reached and patted around, but she didn't feel anything besides the cold sheet underneath her fingertips. Her eyebrows furrowed, opening her eyes, but not before rubbing them, to check the time on the clock on her bedside table. It was six thirty-seven and the bed was still cold, which meant Aubrey has been up for a while.

Her legs swung over the bed and she put on socks quickly, the AC making her cold.

"Bree?" She called out gently as she entered the living room. She thought maybe she just came out to sleep on the couch. It was something Aubrey would do at times when she was unable to sleep at night. She didn't want her tossing and turning to wake up Beca. Beca also did it in return when she was unable to sleep while Aubrey was.

She wasn't on the couch or in the living room at all. Beca peeked into the kitchen, finding she wasn't there either and the brunette blew out a breath.

She went to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle and and then grabbed a banana off the counter.

She slipped on a pair of slides and made her way out of the door after making sure she has her keys with her.

She rode the elevator down to the first floor and nodded to the tired desk man who was leaning his head on his hand.

She got to the gym and looked through the windows. There was two people in there, a guy she always sees working out and her girlfriend. She was running on the treadmill, wearing yoga pants and a sports bra with earbuds in her ears. She could see the slick sheet of sweat coating the blondes body as she opened the door.

The treadmill was facing away from the door, out of the long window that showed the outside.

Beca walked up beside the treadmill and leaned against the wall, her elbow going on the ledge.

Aubrey glanced at her and pushed a few buttons on the treadmill, making the pace slow down as she took out her earbuds.

"Hey, there," Beca smirked as she looked down her body. Aubrey huffed, her breathing heavy. The pace was now a walk and Beca handed her the water bottle.
