Soulmates

.Chloe.

The next morning I wake up by a warm body close to mine and I don't even have to think about what happened last night, because everything is still in my thoughts. Last night was amazing and my feelings for Beca are growing more than I had expected. Very carefully and gently I go out of her arms and sit up straight, while I take my mobile from the bedside table. There's only one message that gets my attention and that message is from Tom saying that he can't wait to see me. That's right! I had plans to meet with him for a date. I know it isn't fair to Beca to still date Tom, but I can't tell him that I'm falling in love with my best friend. He has always been there for me, I can not just break my relationship with him. But what about Beca? I mean I really love her, but I can't play with her feelings, right? Ugh, I need to clear my head! I get up and open the door, where I stand face to face with Aubrey. Quickly and gently I close the door so that I do not wake up Beca.

,,Good morning, Chlo. Did you sleep well after your exercise last night?" She gives me a wink and a nervous giggle escape out of my mouth.

,,Bree, can I talk to you about something important?"

,,What's wrong?"

,,I think I'm -"

,,You're not pregnant from Tom right?"

,,No, it's about Beca. I think I'm -" I say and want to continue, but get interrupted by the door that opens. I smile when I see her in front of me. ,,Good morning, Becs." I kiss her nose.

,,Good morning Chlo, why aren't you in bed?"

,,Because I have a meeting with somebody." Beca looks at me sadly. ,,Ah come on, you had all of me last night. Isn't that enough for you?"

,,Maybe I want you all to myself." She says and my heart leaps with joy.

,,It won't be long, I promise."

,,Okay fine, with who do you have an appointment?" Crap, what is she going to say if I say it's Tom? I need to lie because I need to talk with Tom before I tell Beca what I feel for her.

,,Uhm, with Jaylinn. She's in my history class, it's just about the next class. Don't worry, I'll be back in no time." Beca nods and disappears into the room again. When the door is closed again, I turn back around to Aubrey, who's looking at me with a shaking head.

,,Why did you lie to her?!" she practically yells. I put my hand over her mouth to silence her.

,,Shush, don't let her hear you!" I take Aubrey with me away from the dorm. ,,I couldn't let her down. You know what she thinks of Tom."

,,Yeah and now she's going to be mad at you for lying to her."

,,She can't be mad at me, because she will never know I have a meeting with Tom and you won't tell her either. Please Bree, let me do this my way."

,,Okay fine, but don't make me say 'I told you so'. Tom is a jerk, everybody knows that and you need to make up your mind. You have to choose who you want Chlo, you can't keep playing with both of their feelings. They both obviously like you more than a friend, but you have to choose!"

,,I know, but it's hard. They're both so nice to me and I don't want to let them down."

,,Well I'm sorry to say this, but you will. Think about it, when you choose Beca Tom will be devastated. But when you will choose Tom, Beca will be heartbroken. So one of them gets hurt by your decision, it's unavoidable." My eyes tear up by the thought of them getting hurt by my hand. Aubrey wishes me luck and walks back to her room. Please don't tell Beca that I have a meeting with Tom! Is the only thought before walking to the cafeteria.
