the visit
Its been two weeks since the first day of school and beca has joined basket ball and track, she picked the two most time consuming sports possible just so she could keep her mind off of Stacie. She still called her every chance possible and sent her letters and pictures. Beca was proud of her sister but it still hurt and she really hoped Stacie kept her word and comes back.
Aubrey and beca have become close and often practiced together. Aubrey was on the basketball team with her but also on the volleyball team she was a lot better at volleyball then track.every morning exactly an hour before school both girls ran along the track together often talking about school or things outside life, Aubrey kept beca sane when she didn't have practice or any homework. They played around beca's room playing video games or listening to beca's mixes, beca often included Emily knowing the kid must be hurting too and made a promise to herself that she would never leave Emily. She took the younger girl everywhere with her weather its practice or just hanging around with Aubrey. Emily had taken a liking to Aubrey and gave her the nick name "bree-bree" but beca just called her Bree.
It was the first game of the season and they were tied 20-20 Aubrey had the ball but no one was open, she was to far from the rim to be able to shoot when suddenly beca broke free from the tall blonde that was blocking her, she passed the ball to the girl with six seconds left and beca shot, the whole team watched the ball bounce around before eventually sliding through the net.
"You did it beca!" Aubrey jumped in her place before throwing her arms around the much shorter girl.
"We did it Bree I couldn't have shot if you didn't pass" the blonde just smiled before all of a sudden a flash of brown sped by her and knocked over the tiny brunette.
"Oh my gosh you did it!" Emily squealed hugging onto her sister.
"Em!"
"Yeah?"
"I can't breathe"
"Oh! Sorry" Emily quickly climbed off of beca smkleing sheepishly at the girl before turning to Aubrey practically bouncing in place.Aubrey snickered and opened her arms for the tall brunette, Emily almost knocked over Aubrey too if it wasn't for a strange brunette behind her. She furrowed her brow at the stranger, she had never seen her before and she looked to old to be a high schooler. Beca's attention was turned away from her and towards her mother, grace. The stranger lightly tapped Emily and put her finger to her mouth signalling the girl to keep quiet. Emily's eyes grew impossibly wide and she became more excited bouncing in her place in Aubrey's arms.
The brunette walked towards beca and lightly tapped the girls shoulder prompting her to turn around.
"Ye- oh my god Stacie!" Beca jumped on the girl and Aubrey was surprised when the girl didn't even flinch and just held tight to the shorter brunette. "When did you get here? When did you come home?!" Beca's voice was muffled by Stacie's shoulder. Emily couldn't take it anymore and practically bulldozed Stacie and beca with her excitement. All three of them laying on the floor grace laughing and Emily clinging to Stacie and beca.
"Hey kid I missed you too" Stacie ruffled Emily's hair while beca groaned.
"Twice in like ten minutes must be a new record." Emily got up and quickly pulled beca up while grace pulled Stacie to her feet.
"I'm sorry but I was just so excited because its been like seven weeks since I've seen her and you just won the first game and holy crap we should go get ice cream." Emily spoke fast to where beca could barely understand anything but Aubrey got it all and translated for beca.
"Ice cream sounds amazing right now, you coming Bree?" Aubrey melted at the nickname and nodded linking arms with her team mate, Stacie watched both girls carefully.
The ended up going to a small ice cream parlor two blocks from the highschool, Aubrey beca and Emily on one side of the booth and grace and Stacie on the other side. Beca was squished between Aubrey and Emily practically on Aubrey's lap.
Emily was growing tired it was a little past , her chocolate ice cream slowly melting making soup in her bowl. Beca and Aubrey were splitting a banana split like they normally do and Stacie had a strawberry cone. Grace had opted out of ice cream and instead got a brownie. Stacie continued to watch Aubrey and beca a little closer, she noticed beca's love sick look and Aubrey's easy smile. Something was going on between the two if not something was about to. She smiled to herself beca had found someone she at least liked and she was happy for the young teen.
