I recently watched Pitch Perfect & instantly became obsessed. I thought Jesse was just so adorable & I related to Beca so much. I hope one day I can meet my own Jesse .. ANYWAY. I really wanted to write a one-shot, maybe a bunch of them just posted on here. I hope you all enjoy :)
Chapter One
"I can't believe I'm actually somewhat happy to be back here," Beca said as she looked around the empty pool where the welcome back party was being held.
"Only somewhat?" Stacie asked her.
"Somewhat is a lot from Beca. We'll take what we can get," Fat Amy said. "Looks like some fresh meat found out about the party."
"Some of them are so hot," Stacie said and smiled. "Excuse me, ladies."
"Where's your boytoy?" Amy asked and Beca shrugged. "Trouble in paradise?"
"No, we're good. Just been busy moving in all morning."
"Alrighty," she said. "I'm going to go find myself some man-candy."
"Have fun," Beca laughed.
Beca looked around at everyone dancing, drinking, and having fun. She couldn't believe that it was her sophomore year in college. She didn't even think she'd be in college, let alone her second year of it. Beca still wanted to move to LA and have a career in music, but she decided her dad was right and she needed to go to college. Not just for the education, but for the experience. Had he not forced her to get involved, and if Chloe didn't ambush her awkwardly in the shower, she wouldn't have the Bellas. She didn't want to imagine the next three years without them.
"Are you plotting the demise of everyone in here?" someone whispered in her ear. "Because I'll help."
"Bumper's gone, so there's no one I really want to hurt badly anymore," Beca said and smiled as she turned around. "Hi, nerd."
"Hello," he said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. "I missed you."
"Of course you did. Who else is constantly rude to you?" Beca said and smirked before she said quietly that she missed him too.
"How was your summer?" he asked as they walked over to the edge of the pool to sit down.
"Okay. My mom was barely around when I stayed with her. My step-mom was around way too much when I stayed with my dad," she said and shrugged. "Typical summer of a kid with divorced parents. Yours?"
"Spent most of it watching movies, naturally," he said.
"You mean there's movies you haven't seen yet?" Beca asked in shock.
"Ha-ha, Beca. I forgot how funny you were since we haven't seen each other in months," he said sarcastically. "This summer sucked without you. I actually counted down days to get to school."
"Really?"
"Of course. Plus I couldn't wait to find out what new magic tricks Benji would come up with," he said and smiled. "You want a drink?"
"Yeah, sure," she nodded. He jumped off the edge and into the pool where the keg was.
Beca watched him get stopped by multiple girls on his way to the keg and on his way back to her. By the time he reached Beca, he looked flustered and confused.
"Two girls invited me back to their dorms. Three girls tried to give me their numbers. One girl almost took her underwear off just to write down her number," he said and shook his head.
"That's hilarious," she said as she took her drink from him.
"You were a lot of help. Aren't you supposed to be the jealous girlfriend who comes in and punches people in the face?"
"Nah, I retired from that. I'll just sit back and laugh as you get super nervous around those girls," she said with a smile.
"Thanks," he huffed. Beca just smiled at him as she rested her head against his shoulder. "You ever think we'd be like this?"
"Oh yes, I envisioned our future when you sang to me from your car the first day."
"I told you we're going to have aca-children."
"Not any time soon, buddy," Beca said and laughed, but Jesse suddenly got a weird, happy look on his face. "What?"
"So you want aca-children?"
"Let's not read too much into this," she said and rolled her eyes, but tried to stop the smile that threatened to form on her face. She did want a future with Jesse. She couldn't envision her future with anyone else.
"Any of the acapella groups here?" Justin called out from the middle of the pool. A good majority of the crowd cheered. "Good, let's start this year off with a welcome back riff-off!"
"Lovely," Beca rolled her eyes as Jesse jumped up excitedly. "I'm not ready for all this yet."
"Better get ready, because you're going down," Jesse said and smirked as he jumped down into the pool. "Coming?"
"I suppose," she sighed and hopped down into his arms. "I believe you're going down."
"You want to make a wager on that?"
"If I win, I chose the songs you guys sing at the Activities Fair," Beca said.
"If I win, I do the same. Shake on it?" he said as he held out his hand. She grabbed it and shook it, and he pulled her closer for a kiss.
"Oi! Get your ass over here, leader!" Fat Amy yelled. Beca quickly ran over to the Bellas. "I hope you what you two shook on before was very naughty sex later."
"Gross, Amy," Beca laughed as she shook her heads. "We all ready for this? There's a lot riding on this. If the Trebles win they pick what songs we sing at the Activities Fair."
"We got this, don't worry," Cynthia Rose said.
"Can we join in?" Chloe asked as she joined the Bellas Aubrey stood next to her. "Since you guys haven't started recruiting yet, we think you're a little short."
"Wouldn't be the same without you two," Beca said with a smile.
"Now that everyone is all ready, let's begin," Justin said as he pointed his remote at the pool and the wheel began to spin. "Songs from the Movies."
Beca quickly ran up because she knew Jesse was more than prepared for this:
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart ..
Jesse smirked at her when he cut her off:
Heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ..
Stacie stepped up and cut him off:
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
One of the High-Notes steps up and cuts Stacie off, but doesn't have anything to sing. Everyone laughs as they walk off and Justin spins for a new category.
"Break-up songs!"
Benji quickly ran up, not wanting the Bellas to get it first again:
Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
He we touched
And went our separate ways
If he hurts ..
Aubrey walked up and smiled as she cut him off:
Hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do
The Trebles took too long trying to come up with another song, meaning the Bellas one that round. They decided to go best two out of three since there was a lot riding on this riff-off, and since the High-Notes were out and the other acapella group didn't feel like participating. Two more rounds to go, Beca thought to herself.
"If we win the next one, we win," Beca said to Jesse.
"Don't sound so sure of yourself. We got this," Jesse said and smirked at her.
"Songs by Taylor Swift about her Boyfriends," Justin announced.
Bumper quickly stepped up from the back of the group. He came to visit Fat Amy. "I can't resist this category," he said with a shrug:
We are never, ever, ever getting back together
We are never, ever, ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never, ever, ever getting back ..
Chloe stepped up and cleared her throat:
Back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I realized what I had when you were mine
Another Treble cut her off:
Mine
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your
Fat Amy walked up and glared at the Treble:
You're just another picture to burn
There's no time for tears,
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
Justin stepped up and stopped Amy.
"I'm sorry, but we were looking for 'your' and not 'you're'. While they sound exactly the like, one is a shortened version of 'you are'. This round to the Trebles!"
"Oh come on!" Beca yelled. "That's bullshit!"
"Scared, Beca?" Jesse asked. She had never seen him this competitive before, she kind of liked it.
"You wish."
"Last round decides the winner. The category is: Songs ruined by Glee!" Justin announced.
"Well shit," Beca grumbled. "I don't watch Glee too often."
"Don't worry," Aubrey said as she walked up:
I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And ..
Donald jumped in and cut her off:
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top, don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check
I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause ..
Stacie quickly cut him off:
'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life would suck without you ..
Jesse walked up and cut her off:
You look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you ..
Beca felt bad cutting him off, somewhere deep down inside, because she really loved hearing him sing. She stepped up and made the signal with her hands:
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was gonna tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
No one cut her off, everyone seemed stunned by her singing. She blushed a little, feeling self-conscious at the attention. Jesse smiled at her as he held his hands up in surrender.
"And the Bellas win!" Justin announced when he realized no one was going to continue. The Bellas cheered excitedly and ran up to Beca.
"That was amazing, Beca," Chloe said as she hugged her. "We finally won a riff-off!"
"Thank god, or else the Trebles were deciding what we were going to sing for the Activities Fair," Beca said as she sighed.
"I hope you have something evil and hilarious in mind," Aubrey said. "You'd be a disappointing leader if you didn't."
"Oh, don't worry," Beca said with a mischievous smirk. "I have the perfect thing in mind. If you all would excuse me, I have to go gloat to my boyfriend."
Beca walked over to Jesse who was standing with the rest of the Trebles. He sounded like he was reassuring them that everything would be okay, that the songs I pick won't be so horrible.
"I would be scared boys," I said and smiled. "Just think of it as the Bellas' revenge for being obnoxious and rude to them in past years."
"Thanks, Bumper," Benji said.
"Good thing I graduated," Bumper said awkwardly. "I'm gonna go find Amy."
"So, do we get to hear what it is?"
"I'll wait till tomorrow," Beca said as she grabbed Jesse's hand and pulled him away from the group. "I wanted to hang out with you tonight without you hating me."
"I could never hate you," he said as he kissed her forehead.
"You'll dislike me once you hear the songs," she said and laughed. "So, how about we go back to the Trebles' house because the Bellas' house won't be ready until tomorrow. And so I can inform all of you bright and early and teach you the choreography."
"Sounds like a plan," he said and kissed her before the two of them left the party, hand in hand.
"Dude, I hate your girlfriend," Donald said as he mentally prepared himself for what was about to happen. "She's vicious."
"No one's going to want to join after this," Benji sighed. "I used to like Beca."
"She does know how to hit below the belt," Jesse laughed as he stretched his arms over his head.
"Speak of the devil, and she appears," Donald said as he glared at Beca.
"Hello boys," she said as she walked up to them. "Ready? It won't be so bad. You guys definitely have the dance moves down."
"You were right, I'm not sure if I like you at the moment," Jesse said. Beca smiled as she reached up on her tip-toes and placed a light kiss on his lips. "Okay, that makes up for it a bit."
"I'm still angry!" Donald yelled.
"Better get ready, you're on," Beca said as she headed back over to the Bellas' booth to watch the show.
The Trebles' began their version of The Sign/Eternal Flame/Turn the Beat Around. Beca couldn't think of a better group of songs to give them than that, the traditional Bellas song for regionals. A crowd gathered around as they danced the choreography that Beca taught them last week, laughing hysterically as they sang.
"Yeah, wooh!" Fat Amy cheered from the booth, making Beca laugh even harder.
"Go Jesse!" Beca cheered her boyfriend, who looked miserable.
Once they were done singing, she ran over to Jesse and jumped into his arms, kissing him soundly on the lips.
"That was awful," Jesse said.
"The kiss?" Beca asked, feigning hurt.
"No, that was amazing," he said as he hoisted her up a little more to get a better grip since she wrapped her legs around his waist and decided she didn't feel like getting down and he didn't want her to fall. "The song was."
"I don't know, you guys gathered quite a crowd," Beca said as she gestured to the large amount of people who were standing around the Trebles' booth. "You sang awfully girly songs and still ended up with a hot girl wrapped around your waist, making out with you. I wouldn't be surprised if the amount of auditions for the Trebles' increased this year. So, you still mad?"
"I could never stay mad at you," he said and smiled. "Especially with you on me."
"Shall we go continue my movication? Fat Amy and Benji can handle it from here."
"I know an education I wanna give you," he said lowly. "It doesn't involve movies."
"Carry on my wayward son," Beca sang quietly in his ear and he began to run toward the Bellas' house, causing Beca to laugh hysterically. "Such a dork."
"You adore me."
"That I do."
