Warning: Jesse gets pretty intense, especially in chapters to come.
Beca sat on her bed, Indian-style, her mind still trying to process what just happened. She brushed her hand against her swollen cheek.
She knew she had to tell someone. She knew there was justice to be served, and she knew she had to stop him so he didn't to this to her or any other girl again.
Her thoughts were interrupted as the door opened. Her head snapped up.
"Hey, Beca-" Jesse's positive voice stopped when he saw her. "What the hell happened?"
He tried to avoid looking at her face, because it caused him too much pain. She had a black-eye, and a large bruise on her cheek.
Beca gulped heavily, and wiped the streaming tears off her face. She cleared her throat, determined to talk strong and clear.
"I was at the station. Luke was there, too. He was mad. He said…he said his girlfriend just dumped him. I tried to stay away, to give him his space, but he kept coming closer-" Her voice went high so she stopped talking and buried her head in her hands.
Jesse walked over to her slowly, almost cautiously, nervous to upset her.
"Beca," He said softly. "Luke did this to you?"
Without looking up, she nodded.
He didn't want to leave her. He really didn't. But that guy deserved so much pain for hurting Beca…it was indescribable.
He made up his mind quickly. Jesse kneeled next to Beca.
"This guy's gonna get what he deserves, okay? I'll be right back, I promise."
Jesse sprinted out of her dorm room, bumping into Kimmy-Jin on the way.
Out of breath, he said, "Beca's in there, okay? She's really upset, and she needs a friend. Please." He ran away from her, towards the radio station.
Once he arrived, he threw open the door, and walked into the booth.
"You know freshman aren't allowed in the booth."
"I don't give a damn!" And with that, Jesse let the beating begin.
