AN: This is probably the shittiest prologue ever to be written and I amterribly sorry for the bad quality.
I just wrote this down to recap on what had happened in If We Ever Meet Again and All That We Needed. You could go ahead and skip this if you don't need to jog your memory.
Beca met a sketchily friendly married guy named Jesse in a nightclub's toilets, trying to help a stranger sober up. She gave him a ride to his place after helping him with the passed out drunk stranger.
Beca met the same guy three years later at a wedding she shouldn't have gone to but did; her ex-boyfriend's wedding.
Beca had a drunk one-night stand with Jesse after he told her that he was no longer married to his high school sweetheart whom he had a baby girl called Sam with.
Then Jesse managed to convince her that he was a perfect roommate and moved in with her after they agreed on a set of rules that included the fact that they wouldn't ever hook up again.
They broke the ground rule and ended up developing feelings for each other but it took Beca a little longer than it took Jesse. However, it didn't matter because he had to follow his ex-wife across the country, to New York City, to stay close to his baby daughter.
Beca moped around for six months over Jesse and he did the same over her until she got a promotion that would have her move to New York.
They were both dumb enough to jump into a relationship despite the fact that Beca was planning on going back to L.A. as soon as the same position she got promoted to was available.
Jesse happened to have knocked his ex-wife up in a drunk encounter and it put some pressure on him.
Beca chickened out after her mother gave her a reality check, telling her follow her heart and stay in NYC, and broke up with Jesse leaving him devastated.
Jesse tried to keep it together but getting into an accident with his pregnant ex-wife and daughter wrecked him.
Beca saw Jesse go down a bad path but couldn't help him because he didn't let her.
Beca's work had a hand in getting them back together and him letting her back into his life.
It took them one frightful incident where Jesse tried to have it his way with Beca without her approval to realize that they couldn't actually date unless they were better apart.
Beca chose to stay in NYC for her work.
They worked on becoming better individuals then gave it another shot.
