One bite

The next morning Beca woke up and got ready for school. Today was Monday and they left for break Thursday. Once she was dressed she headed downstairs to see her mom.

"Morning Mom, what'd ya make?" She asked.

"Some pancakes, you can take them with you" she smiled as she handed Beca four pancakes on a paper plate.

"Thanks mom. Love you see you later" Beca called as she left the house and got in her truck.

As she pulled up to school she finished her pancakes and grabbed her bag. While she was walking over to her group of friends she noticed Chloe already there. As she got closer Aubrey's eyes fell on hers. The blonde quickly walked towards Beca, grabbing a fist full of her hoodie before glaring in her eyes.

"What up Posen?" Beca asked calmly, only pissing the blonde off more.

"Don't what up me Mitchell, what the fuck were you thinking?" She spat.

"I'm guessing this is about my conversation with Chloe last night" Beca said, taking Aubrey's wrist and pushing it back so she was released.

"Damn right it is. What the fuck were you thinking?" She repeated.

"I was looking out for our relationship in the long run, I also believe it's none of your business" she said pushing past her.

"Don't you walk away from me Mitchell!" Aubrey snapped.

"Already walking" she called back as she made her way between Jesse and Stacie who were trying to hold back a laugh.

"You've got some damn nerve" Aubrey said walking back to the group.

"I don't need you breathing down my neck" Beca shot back.

"I just want to know why the fuck you did what you did" Aubrey said.

"What? Ask for some space? Not sleep at Chloes like I've been doing every fucking night for the last two months or so? Not going to Tampa with her? I have good reasoning Posen" she spat.

"And what might that me?" Aubrey asked crossing her arms.

"Jesse, why did Mom and Dad split?" Beca asked, not removing her eyes from Aubrey.

"Dads drinking, arguing over Chloe being Bi and they spent so much time together it put a strain on their relationship" Jesse answered confused.

"Stacie, why did your parents split last year?" She asked again.

"Because they worked at the same place, never leaving each other. They were together literally 24/7 and it started to strain their relationship, they needed space." She answered, seeing where Beca was going.

"Two prime examples of relationships being ruined due to too much time together. Chloe might not feel it, but I do. Leaving her house the other night felt great and I never want it to feel that way again. She's still the love of my life, forever and always. I just don't want what happened to our parents to happen to me and Chlo. So before attacking me, understand why I did what I did." Beca spoke.

Chloe didn't speak during that whole confrontation. She stayed back, not knowing what to feel. When she heard Beca's reasoning, with the parents, she understood more.

"I'm sorry" she whispered, not meeting Beca's eye.

"Why are you sorry? You did nothing wrong love" Beca spoke softly.

"I didn't listen to you" she said.

Beca walked over and lifted Chloes chin so they looked eye to eye.
