Fixing Us [COMPLETED]

17.

Author's POV

Beca ran down the hall after leaving her girlfriend in the classroom with her parents. She went straight to Chloe's car where Emily was waiting for her. "Hey, is she okay?", she asked. She leaned to the side to see Stacie sitting on the curb with her head in her hands. "Okay, get in, I'm buying lunch", Beca said before they got in the car. "God, Chloe how long are your legs?", Beca said to herself as she adjusts her seat to reach the steering wheel easier. She drove off and lets Stacie rant to her about her dad. Stacie and her dad have... different minds. Her dad is forcing her into a career that she hates with a passion and was never proud of her. All these while, Stacie was better with her mother as she would always support her life choices but since her dad came back from his work trip, he's been more strict and less understanding. "And I just know that he's gonna hate me when I tell him about Aubrey", she blurted out and both Emily and Beca were shocked. "You're gonna tell him about Aubrey?", Emily asked. "Yeah, maybe after the trip. Which I'm not sure if she's gonna come", Stacie said, thinking back to the time when she asked the blonde to go with her.

"Hey, come here", Stacie said, patting on the couch. Aubrey walked and sat right in front of her, looking deep into her eyes. "I want you to come to the road trip", Stacie said. "R-road trip?", Aubrey replied. "Look, I don't really know how to do all this. And I need you to know that I'm trying and I guess, well everyone's bringing a plus one, why not bring my... girlfriend?", she slowly looked up to Aubrey who's face looked like she had just seen a ghost. "I'm your girlfriend?", she asked. "Well, yeah. I don't want you to go around kissing anyone else but me", Stacie replied. "Stace, I don't want you to be scared and I certainly don't want us to rush into this because those don't end up well. And I'm sure there's a hopeless romantic in you who knows what they're doing and is just waiting to come out", Aubrey said, slowly linking their hands together. "Maybe I should just stop talking", Stacie sighed. "See, you're getting better", Aubrey smirked as she wrapped her hands around the brunette's neck. "Maybe you should too", Stacie replied, carefully pushing Aubrey down. "Maybe you should make me", Aubrey smirked again as she leaned in for a kiss.

"And then we ended up having sex so I wasn't sure if she wants to go or not", Stacie said as they all sat down at the diner's table. "You guys have so much sex, at this point I'm not even sure if it's healthy", Beca joked. "Problem in the sheets?", Stacie asked. "No! No problems at all. She wants me to meet her family. Not just her mom. Her whole family", Beca said. "Are you gonna go?", Emily asked. "Yeah, it looks like it. I just hope she told them who I really am so it won't be a shocker when I go there", Beca said. "Hey", Aubrey greeted Chloe as the ginger hopped in the car. "Hey, thanks for picking me up, I need some advice", Chloe replied.

"Okay, how I like to see it. She's 18-", Aubrey said.

"In August", Chloe replied.

"Okay, tell them she's 18. And you're 22. That's like  years gap. So when she's 21, you'll just be 25", Aubrey sipped her drink. "And I know your family. They're saints. If they can see how much you guys truly love each other, trust me, she'll be fine", she added. "Yeah, I guess when you put it like that, you're right", Chloe said. "So, you and Stacie?", Chloe asked. "Well, we're doing fine, she's coming over tonight cause she's sick of her dad", Aubrey said. "Oh yeah, he was there earlier", Chloe replied. "Yeah, apparently he's a big jerk but she told me Beca took her out for lunch to get her minds of things", she added. Chloe smiled when she heard her girlfriend's name.

"Hey baby", Beca said when Chloe picked the phone up.

"Hiii", Chloe replied smiling to herself.

"Aubrey picked you up yet?", Beca asked.

"Mhm, we just got lunch. I'm helping her pick up some clothes for her to wear when- y'know", Chloe blushed furiously.

"Posen's getting lingerie?!!", Beca asked out of excitement as she drives into the car wash which made Chloe giggle. "Mm, make sure you pick some up for yourself, You know my type", Beca said. "Will do", Chloe replied. "Okay, I just got to the car wash, I'll call you in a bit, I love you", the brunette said. "I love you more", Chloe smiled before hanging up.
