Chapter 1
Here I am, 3 years after college, drowning my sorrows in alcohol, and still crushing on Jesse big time. I watch Jesse make out with his admittedly hot girlfriend Serena up against the wall. Why? I slide my back down the wall in despair until I am sitting on the ground, with my head in my hands, sobbing slightly.
"Beca, you okay?" A familiar voice says. I look up and see Jake standing in front of me, looking concerned. I point to Jesse, and its pretty self-explanatory from there. Everyone, and I mean everyone knows about my immense crush on Jesse, except for sadly, Jesse. He nods in understanding. This has been a horrible night.
"Your really drunk right now?" Jake says with a sigh. I look up at his blurry figure.
"No, your just blurry." I say. But these words bring tears to my eyes, god why am I so fucking vulnerable? Jake lifts me up and carries me to his apartment, as I sob into his chest. Jake has always been like a big brother to me, I love him for that. He puts me down on the couch, where I rest and relax.
"You can crash here tonight." Jake reassures me. He then walks away to his bedroom, leaving me there to think about Jesse and Serena. I weep into the pillow for what feels like hours but is actually only about 15 minutes.
"Beca? God, no offence, but you look horrible!" Chloe says with a smile. I look up at her and manage to stop the tears. Her smile fades.
"This is about Jesse isn't it?" She says. I nod, incapable of speaking his name. I sit up and she lets me fall into her and she hugs me as I weep helplessly into her chest.
"I l-l-l-love him Chloe!" I stutter. She strokes my hair reassuring me it's going to be okay.
"I know you do. It's gonna be okay." She says, continuing to stroke my hair. "Jesse will soon realize that Serena is a bitch." Chloe's says. I've always loved how she just speaks her mind without sugar-coating it. Eventually, she lays me down on the couch and tucks a blanket over me and I fall asleep.
8:30 AM
I wake up and roll around in my bed, thinking about Jesse. God, it really isn't healthy to think about his this much. They must have taken me back here after I fell asleep. I walk over to my bathroom and look in the mirror. SHIT. Is that me? My makeup is tearstained, my hair is an absolute mess and my clothes are wrinkled and wet with tears. I change and fix my face and hair, before walking out into the living room.
"Good morning Bec's!" Jesse greets me cheerfully. God his smile is just so sexy. I smile in response and collapse on the couch. He sits down next to me, suddenly turning serious.
"So what do you think of Serena?" He asks. Shit! I am not prepared for this.
"Uh, she's… nice." I say, realizing only after I say it how lame it is.
"Okay… I'm thinking about proposing to her." He says. I bolt upright.
"Jesse, I don't think that's a good idea. Do you even remember last time you tried that with Christie?" I ask him. He starts listing all the reasons he think Serena is the 'one', and I just can't listen. I start thinking about all his ex-girlfriends. They were all, tall, hot, blonde and perky. I'm none of those things, which is another reason I will never be with Jesse.
"Beca? Beca are you even listening?" He asks me with a chuckle.
"Uh, sorry." I mutter. He smirks in response.
"So, did you hear the big news?" Jesse asks excitedly. What?
"What big news?" I ask curiously. He smiles widely.
"Chloe's pregnant!" He almost yells with enthusiasm. Chloe's pregnant. Good for her. God, I can't think straight when Jesse is smiling at me.
"That's amazing!" I say, jumping up off the sofa and hugging Jesse. I don't want to let go, I want to hold him for eternity. He starts to pull away, and I somehow bring myself to do the same.
"Why are you hugging me? Go hug her!" He exclaims, and for the first time since I left college, I forget about Jesse. I run across the hall and knock rapidly on Chloe and Jake's door. Chloe answers it and I hug her tightly.
"Congratulations!" I whisper in her ear.
"Thanks Beca!" She says. But that brief moment when I wasn't thinking about Jesse sadly comes to an end as I release her from my bone crushing hug. She looks at me with a worried look on her face.
"Beca, what's wrong." Chloe says, gesturing for me to sit on her couch and explain. I sigh and do just that.
"Jesse is proposing to Serena." I say, my eyes threatening to tear.
"Oh god. Sorry." She says, grimacing at me.
"It's okay." I say quickly. "I just hope it fails like with Christie." I tell her.
"Oh come on. He's known her 4 months. She is going to reject him and hard." She reassures me.
"I'm pathetic." I state truthfully. "I'm crying over a man I'm desperately in love with, but am too scared to tell him how I feel." I tell her.
"You are not pathetic." Chloe says seriously, looking me in the eye. "You are just waiting for the right time to tell him." She tells me. I can't deny it. I am so pathetic.
"I know something that will take your mind off him. Lets talk baby names!" She says excitedly. That sounds fun.
"Okay. If it's a boy, Oliver, if it's a girl, Emily." I say.
"How about if it's a boy, Ryan, if it's a girl, Alisa." She says.
"No offence Chloe, but I really don't care." I say.
"Wow, you're really bugged about this." She says. She gets up and calls Aubrey and Luke over, even though they live directly above me and Jesse. And then she calls Donald and Stacie over, though they are directly underneath us right now.
About 5 minutes later, all of us, except for Jesse, are gathered in Chloe's living room.
"So, Beca is really pissed about Serena. Jesse decided to propose to her." She reveals to everyone. I look down at the floor.
"Oh. Sorry Beca that must be horrible." Aubrey says, shooting me a reassuring look. "She's a bitch. She called me uptight!" She says and we all smirk. "What? I'm not uptight!" Aubrey says.
"Whatever you say Aubrey." Stacie says and we all chuckle lightly.
"He thinks she's the 'one'." I say quietly.
"Shit. That's not good." Donald says.
"Yeah, he didn't call Anne the one, and they were engaged." Luke points out. Tears threaten to run, but I hold them back. I can't cry in front of all these people.
"So, how can we get them to break up?" Jake asks.
"Murder." Chloe mutters.
"I like Chloe's idea" I joke.
"How about we tell her bad things about Jesse." Luke suggests.
"THERE IS NOTHING BAD ABOUT JESSE!" I yell at him, surprised to find myself on my feet.
"Shit Beca! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Stacie says.
"Sorry." I mumble as I sit back down on the carpet.
"We could get Serena banned from the state." Donald jokes. I ignore him and start to cry, but none can see me since I have my head behind my knees.
"Guys, be serious." Chloe says, motioning to me.
"Aw, Beca, come here." Jake says as he pulls me into a hug. I can no longer hold the tears in. I collapse into a weepy state and start bawling. Everyone hugs me supportively.
"I LOVE HIM!" I scream. "I NEED HIM!" I scream again.
"We know Beca." Aubrey says, hugging me tightly.
"I knew you loved him, but I didn't know you were this serious about him." Luke says, grimacing.
"Beca, Ive never seen you like this. You've never been this bad." Chloe tells me. I sob uncontrollably.
"You know, if he hasn't realized it yet, then he doesn't deserve you." Stacie says.
"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF HE DESERVES ME! I JUST WANT HIM!" I shriek, exploding into tears.
"I'm pathetic." I say again.
"Beca, I already told you you're not." Chloe tells me.
"I am." I mutter.
"No Beca, you're not." She tells me sternly.
"Let's go to the mall." Stacie says. They all turn to me. I nod in agreement.
"Let's get ready." Aubrey says. I walk back into my apartment. No Jesse. NO, don't do this to yourself Beca, ignore him. I get dressed and hop into Donald's car, in between Jake and Chloe. Donald turns the radio on and of course fate want to torture me, and No diggity comes on.
"Donald, change the station." Chloe whisper-yells to him. I sang this to him the day I realized I had a crush on him. Stay strong Beca. Donald changes the station and It feels like the first time is on. That is just ridiculous. I try hard to zone out, and succeed, but I zone out and think about Serena. SHIT. Why is this happening to me?
10 MINUTES LATER
We finally arrive at the mall and we all head to the clothing shops.
"Isn't this adorable?" Chloe asks us as she finds a baby shirt with a duck on it.
"I'm going to go to the music store. Meet you guys at McDonalds." I tell everyone then head to the CD store. I browse through the CD's until I find something absolutely stunning. I find a CD by Jesse Swanson. Oh. My. God. He has his own CD! I quickly purchase it and exit the store. I find the others at McDonalds and sit down on the table.
"You guys will never guess what I found." I say.
"What?" Luke asks, intrigued. I slide the CD across the table to him.
"Holy shit! Jesse has a CD!" He asks, stunned.
"I didn't know that either!" I tell him. My phone buzzes, alerting me that I have a new text.
From: Jesse Swanson
To: Beca Mitchell
Hey, gonna propose to Serena at "Josh's seafood girlle by the bay"! Wish me luck! J
I read the text. I get up and run in the direction of "Josh's seafood grille by the bay".
