wait for it

the next morning

I woke up, head throbbing. But something was different. I had no clue where I was, but when I turned over I was met with Aubrey's face. She was smiling in her sleep, it was adorable. And my arms were wrapped around her.

A few memories of the previous day came to my mind, but they were all of us fighting. Why were we basically spooning now then?

"Bree. Aubrey! What happened last night?" I asked. She opened her eyes slowly and looked up at me. "Morning to you too, princess." She smiled. "Well?"

"Well, first you locked me and Uni in a bathroom, then you accused us of fucking, and then me and you had a little fight. Oh, and then I kissed you. And we fucked. Then you got super drunk because you were a bit depressed and weren't sure what was going on. And then we fucked a bit more. And that brings us to where we are now. All caught up?"

I sat up and nodded slightly, confused beyond words. "Erm..so what does that make us?"

"Fuck buddies?"

I jabbed her in the ribs with my elbow and she giggled. "I don't know, Stace. Whatever you want us to be."

I shrugged and looked around the room. "I don't know what I want us to be. God, Beca is gonna kill me. Then she'll go back for you, so neither of us are safe."

"Is Beca actually capable of killing us?"

I sighed and nodded. "Yeah. She drowned her goldfish when she was six."

"That's an easy mistake."

"Then she put her hamster in the empty fishtank and watched as it slowly drowned."

Aubrey's eyes widened. She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again. "I know. I'm sure she wouldn't mind killing one of us." I muttered.

The blonde nodded and sat up. "Okay then. Erm..I guess you better get back."

"Maybe. Bye Bree!" I smiled.

The second I left her dorm, I took my phone out of my pocket and checked my messages.

Thirteen missed calls from: Becs <3

Six messages from: Becs <3

Two messages from: Ames :)

Ames :) : are you coming home or abandoning us?

I sighed and put my phone back in my pocket before setting off back to my dorm. I opened the door and Cupcake jumped up at me, barking. "Hey boy! Jesus, let me get through the door first."

After Cupcake finally went back into the dorm and let me get in, Beca and Amy were stood waiting for me, arms crossed.

"Oh, hey guys! Sorry, I wasn't feeling great last night so I didn't come back. I was..erm..I-"

"Stacie. You were fucking Aubrey. Chloe told us, she almost interrupted you when she ran into Aubrey's room crying. Which was my fault I think. But we're okay now. Anyway. Why do you do this to yourself?"

"I don't know. Personally, I don't think that it's any of your concern who I was fucking last night at all, so it doesn't really matter."

Beca rolled her eyes and groaned. "God, I'm just looking out for you. I honestly would hate to see you get hurt." She muttered before taking a seat on my couch.

"Dude. I'm not gonna get hurt, it was just a one night thing. Like me and you used to do." I whispered under my breath. Beca raised her eyebrows and smiled angrily. "Did you really just compare my relationship with you to your relationship with her?"

I nodded and smirked. "Yeah, I did. It's the same thing. I think I'm madly in love with someone, they reject me, then we fight. And then it turns into one night stands with them until I get over them. So it's exactly the same."

Beca stood up and stormed over to the door. "I'm not even dealing with this. Ames, she's your problem tonight." She snapped before slamming the door behind her.

Cupcake barked at me, like he was done with my bullshit as well. "Dude, come on. You're meant to be on my side."

Amy scoffed and stood up. "Even I'm not on your side, so don't expect him to be. Come on Cupcake, I'll take you for a walk while your mother gets her shit together." She said while grabbing his leash and attaching it to his harness. "I really hope you know what you're doing is stupid."

She left the dorm too, leaving me to my own devices. I lay on my bed, waiting for someone to come back all night. I gathered by Cupcake's barking coming from Em and Beca's room that they were all staying there instead of being with me. God, even my own dog is against me.

The only person that came in was an extremely drunk Chloe. She was super serious when she was drunk, that's how I knew she was hammered.

"As long as you don't hurt Aubrey, then I'm fine with your relationship." Chloe smiled as she made herself at home on Amy's bed. I nodded and grinned. "Thanks Chlo. You want another drink?" I offered, opening the alcoholics box in our room and pulling out two beers. "If you're offering."

I handed her a bottle and she opened it straight away. "Yeah, so, if that's what you want Stace, then go for it. I'm happy for you. But just remember that Aubrey has an awful past with commitment and that she probably won't last long."
