Chloe and Aubrey stood there in shock as Amy, Cynthia Rose, Ashley and Jessica comforted Stacie while she broke down. Suddenly there was a loud slamming sound quickly followed by a blood-curdling scream from their DJ. Another loud bang snapped the two girls out of their trances as the guy continued to beat up Beca, who was on the floor cry and screaming in pain. "HEY!" They both shouted together at the guy. He was distracted by the two girls shouting at HIM. He wiped some of the blood that was trickling down his face from the punch that Beca threw earlier using the back of HIS wrist. He turned towards Aubrey and Chloe. "If you try and stop me it won't only be your midget girlfriend over here who gets hurt. I will hurt you two as well one at a time while I make the other two watch!" he said slowly making his way towards the two girls. Aubrey who had positioned herself slightly in front of Chloe stepped back a little and calmed when she felt Chloe being pulled away from her back by someone behind. She kept her eyes trained on the man who was almost within reach as she flicked her eyes down to see if Beca was still okay she saw that Beca had gotten up and was staggering towards the man now coming at Aubrey but she was cradling her left arm with her right hand. Beca was already covered in bruises from what skin Aubrey could see on her younger girlfriend. She looked quickly behind her to see if the other Bellas were okay. She saw Stacie, tears streaming down her face as her knees began to buckle. Stacie began to fall to the ground but Chloe was by her side in an instant, stopping her head hitting the ground. Through all the commotion she barely noticed the scuffle happening behind her but another cry of pain from one of the two people she loved most caused her to flip her head round again so quickly she was surprised she didn't get whiplash. Beca was on the floor again and this time she was cradling herself in the fetal position as best she could with what looked like a broken left arm. Suddenly there were sirens and cops all around. The man was hauled off by the cops and two teams of paramedics arrived to take a look at Beca and Stacie, who was still unconscious and was being cradled and rocked by a very upset Chloe. Aubrey couldn't hear or see anything other than her already tiny girlfriend laying on the floor in a position which only served to make her look smaller and her cries of pain as the medics tried to get her to straighten so they could examine her. Suddenly Aubrey found herself running towards Beca and the paramedics. "STOP! Stop move away from her! You're hurting her. Let me see her! LET ME SEE HER! SHE IS MY GIRLFRIEND… GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER", she yelled which eventually caused six pair of astonished eyes to be trained on her while Beca's noise quietened to whimpers. "You are going to need to calm down and move away young lady and let us do our jobs" one of the medics said as he tried to get Aubrey to move away. "Don't even think about touching me. My best friend is a lawyer and I will sue your ass if you don't let me see her. I won't get in your way and I can keep her calmer than you can. Please just let me see her." Aubrey said in an even tone but her voice became more pleading as she neared the end of her speech. Another stunned silence fell upon the scene in front of her, which was only broken by Beca's very loud yells. "BREE! CHLO!" the fear and pain obvious in her voice. "PLEASE SIR!" Aubrey said a little louder and more forceful than before. "Fine but one wrong move and you are out of there okay and I mean it. Listen and do everything you are told to do and do it immediately okay I won't have you getting in the way." He said in a very stern voice. Aubrey looked at him with a pleading expression and he moved from in front of her. She raced forward to Beca and knelt down beside her. Aubrey held Beca's right hand and she felt Beca squeeze her hand as she broke down crying again. "Hey. Baby look at me. You're gonna be just fine okay. Shhh! Shhhh." Aubrey cooed and whispered sweet nothings into Beca's ear as she stroked Beca's hair with her free hand. "Beca? Beca baby I need you to uncurl." Aubrey pleaded with Beca but she wouldn't. "Beca honey what do you need to feel safe enough for the paramedics to check you out?" "You and Chloe" she said in a small voice that broke Aubrey's heart as sobs began to rack her body again. She yelled out in pain and gripped on harder to Aubrey's hand when she tried to go and get Chloe. "Excuse me sir," She said politely to the young male medic in front of her, holding Beca's head in place until she could be braced, "would please go and get the young red headed lady from over there. Beca won't let anyone touch her until she is here but she won't let me leave," she asked almost pleadingly when he looked up at her. "I will support her head until you get back and I won't let her move until she is given the all clear by you I promise I just need my girlfriends to be safe please?" she asked him with tears in her eyes. "I am so sorry miss but I am not allowed to I can try and keep her calm until you get back but I am not allowed to leave her with anyone unqualified." He said with the pity evident in his eyes and in his voice. "Bree! I need to see Chloe I need to know she is okay please get her" Beca said getting more anxious to why no one had managed to get Chloe. "Beca baby I need you to let go of my hand and I promise I will be back in a second just stay still, think of how good you felt after the ICCA'S final two years ago and think of me and Chloe and then I will be back I promise honey but you need to let go of my hand so I can go get Chlo for you" Aubrey whispered to Beca in a clam and controlled manner. "Okay I trust you" Beca whispered back shakily as she released Aubrey's hand. As soon as she had Aubrey dashed off towards the group of Bellas who were being questioned by the police. She saw Chloe sat on a chair with her head in her hands while Stacie was rubbing circles on her back calmingly while tears were streaming down her face. The police officer Aubrey spoke to said that their statements had been taken. "Chlo-" Aubrey managed to get out before she was embraced tightly with a flash of red. She felt safe but she also felt Chloe brake down and as the tears fell onto her neck all she wanted to do was stay there with Chloe but she knew Beca needed them and she would be beginning to get anxious by now. "Chloe baby I know this is hard but Beca won't let the paramedics look at her until she has us both by her side. Do you think you can stay strong for just a little longer?" she said as Chloe began to calm in her arms. Chloe nodded as she pulled her head out from the crook of Aubrey's neck. "Okay come on then, Beca will be getting restless by now." She walked in the direction of Beca with Chloe alongside her. She laced her hand with Chloe's. Aubrey knelt back down where she was before and resumed holding Beca's good hand. "Beca baby Chloe is here now. Will you please let the paramedics look at you please?" she said quietly so only Beca and Chloe could hear. "Yes as long as you two are both here and Stacie is okay then I will let them look at me" she said in a very small weak sounding voice that shook both Aubrey and Chloe to the core. They had never seen their tiny badass DJ look and sound so vulnerable. "Okay are we ready ladies?" the nice young man above Beca's face said. "Yes" all three of them replied in unison causing the paramedics all to smile at the three girls. "Okay then. I am Brad alright Beca and I am very sorry but this is going to hurt like a bitch okay but try not to tense your muscles to much because it will only hurt more okay" he said in a cautious voice. Beca could only nod a little in response and both of the girls next to her could see that she was already in excruciating pain. "1… 2… 3…" was heard by all in the area then suddenly Chloe and Aubrey's ears were filled with the painful screams of their little girlfriend. She yelled louder and suddenly Aubrey felt something click in her and she screamed out because of the insufferable pain in her hand. Chloe was looking at her wearing a confused expression as she tried to calm Beca down as she was lifted on to a gurney and wheeled towards the ambulance. Aubrey and Chloe following closely behind. "Bree baby? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Chloe asked, her voice filled with a little confusion at her blond girlfriend's current state but filled more so with concern especially as she had no idea what was wrong with her. Aubrey couldn't form a response through her violent crying but she lifted her hand towards Chloe as they sat down in the ambulance with Beca. By the look that suddenly took over the red heads face it wasn't good. She managed to calm herself down and stop the panic attack- the kind she had helped her patients avoid many times- enough to be able to talk with Chloe. "Hurts like hell but Beca is the most important person right now" Aubrey said to Chloe tears still running down her cheeks. "No" Chloe whispered "No" she said again a little louder. "Chl-" Aubrey began to say before Chloe interrupted her. "You will not put Beca before yourself ever. I love you bot equally but just because she is in more pain than you are doesn't mean your injuries are any less important plus this lovely young man here has just drugged one of the loves of my life to heights you couldn't imagine, so he is now going to look at your hand while I comfort Beca and when we get to the hospital you are going to be admitted as well if needed. I don't care if you are on opposite sides of the hospital I could use the extra cardio now we aren't in the Bellas." She said in a steady, calm but demanding tone that shocked Aubrey. "You're catching flies baby." She said with a little humour in her voice as she used two fingers to close her girlfriend's mouth. They stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like hour but was only a few seconds in reality before an awkward cough from Brad pulled them pout of their daydream. Chloe chuckled to herself as Aubrey blushed and swapped places with Brad so she was close to Beca. "Hey sweetie. Everybody is okay thanks to you. You protected Stacie, now you have to let us take care of you okay?" Chloe said with adoration and a hint of anger in her voice. Beca must have picked up on the latter emotion as she looked into Chloe's eyes as said, "I am so sorry babe I had to protect her though she is like a sister to me. Are you angry at me?" She said as a hint of shame seeped into her eyes and they dropped from Chloe's eyes, focusing on her hand that wasn't in a brace. "Beca baby look at me" she said and waited until her gaze what meat with Beca's beautiful blue eyes, which were full of shame, fear and pain. "I am not angry at you because protected Stacie, both Aubrey and I know how much she means to you. I am angry because you were hurt and there were plenty of people in that bar and in our group alone that would have protected Aubrey but you put yourself in more danger and caused yourself more pain because you were acting like a hero. Amy, Cynthia, me, even Jessica were all about to take his ass on before he hurt Aubrey but you acted like a stubborn ass who played hero." She said, the anger in her voice becoming more apparent causing Beca to look away again. Chloe took a deep breath to calm herself. Suddenly what Chloe said to Beca must have registered with Aubrey because she gasped loudly but not out of pain. The sudden loud noise caused Beca to snap her head up where she met Aubrey's eyes, tears making tracks down her face. "Hey. Beca baby? Don't cry Chloe was just scared that's all but I can't believe you did that for me." Aubrey said with pure unadulterated love in her eyes and voice. "Of course I did Bree, I love both you and Chloe but no one pulled you away so I protected you the only way I thought I could. I knew that someone else would protect you but Chloe was right, I didn't want anyone else protecting you." Beca managed to get out through the tears and the sobs that racked her tiny bruised frame.
