Heat of the moment. Lots of people get caught up in it.
Especially people like Beca Mitchell.
She wasn't consciously aware she was doing it until she felt everyone's stare on her and Jesse's tongue in her mouth.
Truly disgusting. Still brings shivers to her to this day.
She hadn't meant to do it. She honestly didn't mean for it to happen but it did and she regrets it.
Because now she's dating a movie nerd who she liked better as a friend when the one person she'd rather be dating hates her guts.
Yeah. The life of a Mitchell is a hard one.
I guess we should start off at the beginning since most of you are probably confused. Well, not the actual beginning because I'm sure you don't need a rehashing of "When a mommy and a daddy love each very much...".
It was purely exhilaration that fueled Beca's actions at the Finals. The feeling of actually entertaining and wowing a crowd(unlike the first 3 or 4 times the Bellas performed) had her feeling energetic and powerful. She could do anything she wanted to. She was so excited, she could kiss someone.
Just not the person she wanted to.
For, that person was in a somewhat-relationship and far too beautiful to even consider Beca as a romantic partner. And even if said person was into Beca, Beca would be scared. Absolutely terrified of the potential damage to their friendship. I mean, said person(who we will now refer to as Hot Stuff) was the first person to break through the walls Beca had worked so meticulously to build up. Beca definitely didn't want to lose Hot Stuff as a friend if their potential more-than-friends relationship failed. Then they'd be just like her parents.
And Beca would rather have her vocal cords torn out by a hungry pack of wolves than to end up like her parents. Who no longer have the ability to maintain a civil conversation.
No. Beca and Hot Stuff would absolutely, positively not be heading down that road. Even if a romantic relationship was possible. Which it isn't. And wasn't.
So Beca, having a need to do something about this newfound energy rush, did something other than kissing her kinda-crush. She kissed the next best thing(or the very worst thing, looking back on it). She marched down off the stage, speed walked to her destination, and gave *shivers* Jesse a big wet one.
Now, don't get me wrong. Jesse's far from bad looking. The only problem with this picture is that Jesse's not Hot Stuff. And he never will be.
You can guess what happened after that but you'd probably be wrong. As soon as Beca pulled away from Jesse, she knew she had made a mistake. Just looking at his awestruck eyes broke her heart. For those were the eyes she had for Hot Stuff, and she couldn't bear to put Jesse through the heartbreak and anguish she was faced with. So Beca put on a brave face and accepted Jesse's corny and oh so predictable offer to be his girlfriend.
Seriously? What are we, in preschool? After a pretty girl kisses you, you automatically want to be in a committed relationship with her?
But Beca kept her sarcastic comments to herself and instead focused on looking for Hot Stuff.
Only to find that Hot Stuff was gone. Nowhere to be found. A small pang of hope mixed with terror found itself in Beca as she grew slightly excited.
Had Hot Stuff seen her kiss with Jesse and, in a jealous fit of rage, left the scene?
Jesse frowned when he had realized Beca had tuned out of his rant about aca-children. He figured that she was just stuck in her head, thinking about the past. A part of him hoped she was thinking of that awesome kiss at the ICCA's but he knew she probably wasn't. She just wasn't as invested in this relationship as he was. She was very distant and Jesse had an idea why. Anyone could see it from a mile away.
Beca Mitchell was hung up on Hot Stuff. A.K.A. Chloe Beale.
