Beca stood facing the officer nodding as she listened to him speak. She could see the other Bella's standing on the other side of the room watching her cautiously, waiting for a sign that would indicate to them what was happening. Beca's eye's flashed quickly over to where Jesse was standing catching the concerned look on his face before flashing back to the officer in front of her.
"it'll just be a formality" he assured her "I'm just gonna check some quick details with the manager and then take you to the station. Alright miss?" The officer looked at her for assurance that she was listening. Beca nodded her head quickly; keeping her mouth shut was the best way of avoiding trouble. The officer nodded at her before stepping away.
Beca sighed and looked down. She was going to kill fat Amy. Feet appeared in her line of vision, judging by the lack of heals it wasn't a Bella. Beca looked up at Jesse and forced a half smile.
"so?" he prompted "you heading for the green mile?" Beca rolled her eyes at the movie reference.
"looks that way, I have to head to the station"
"shit Beca I'm sorry" Jesse moaned running a hand over his face.
"Don't worry" Beca said glaring over Jesse's shoulder at Amy who was hiding, unsuccessfully, behind Lily and Jessica. Looking back at Jesse she continued, "I don't blame you, but I need a favor"
Jesse snapped to attention.
"bail me out"
"wh..what?" He stumbled looking shocked for a second.
"bail me out. I don't want my dad involved in this." Beca paused for a second before adding, "please Jesse"
Something clicked; the look on her face had changed. She needed him to do this for her. Beca, strong independent Beca who didn't need anyone's help, let alone ask for it, was standing in front of him asking him to do something for her. Jesse wasn't about to let her down now. He nodded quickly. Beca's face relaxed slightly, obviously less worried now that he had agreed.
There was a quick pause between them while Beca watched the police officer, Jesse took the opportunity to look closely at Beca. Her hair was coming lose and her outfit was ruffled, her hand was scrunched loosely at her side, obviously still hurting. As the officer began making his way back toward Beca her eyes turned slightly panicked.
"you okay?" Jesse asked.
"mmm" she hummed in response "you better bail me before I turn on someone" she joked.
"I will" Jesse hesitated slightly before stepping forward "or I'll drop by a carton of cigarettes at the very least." He saw Beca throw a quick glance over his shoulder before shocking him and putting her arms quickly around his neck pulling him towards him in a quick hug.
Jesse stood stunned for a second before returning the hug, his arms bending around her waist quickly. She whispered in his ear gently
"I swear to god please get Aubrey to leave or I won't be responsible for my actions" She hurried out. Jesse pulled away, pulling his arms from her waist, shaking his head.
He felt eyes on the back of his neck and saw the police officer approaching quickly. Shooting one last smile in Beca's direction he backed away.
Beca looked at Jesse quickly as the officer began pulling out his handcuffs. Somewhere in the distance she thought she heard Chloe groan softly and Lily admit a small squeak.
Beca placed her bag over her should stepping outside, looking around she saw Jesse standing on the opposite side of the path a small smile on his face.
"Hey Hilary Swank from million dollar baby" she smiled at him as they moved towards each other. She brought her arms out to greet him.
"heyyy" she said touching her fist to his palms "you know you just have to say "hey million dollar baby"" she said laughing at to look of concentration on his face as he tried to match her punch for punch "you don't have to reference a specific actress" He watched her as she moved down the path. "damn" he whispered as she looked at him "prison really changed you" Beca grinned at him continuing down the path.
"thanks for bailing me" she said elbowing him lightly in the side.
"it's alright. But you owe me big time" Beca stopped and turned to him raising a eyebrow but still smiling slightly.
"oh, really?" She laughed Jesse stopping in front of her.
"yep, do you know how freaking scary Aubrey is? She's like….Voldemort on steroids. Sucks the hope right out of you" He wasn't going to stop talking.
"fine. I owe you" she shouted over him throwing her head back "what do you want?"
He looked around for a second pulling a thoughtful face, after a few, very painful seconds, his eyes lit up " food" grabbing her wrist Jesse pulled Beca across the street to a greasy looking fast food place.
She rolled her eyes as he held open the door for her on the way in, looking around they saw they were the only two people there. Empty booths and tables filled the floor all slightly chipped or damaged after years of use. After ordering their food from the exhausted cashier, Jesse, ever the gentleman carried the tray over to a empty booth, placing the tray on the table he slid gently into the other side to Beca.
After a small while Jesse turned conversation towards that evenings events, smiling at Beca when she refused to talk about fat Amy narrowing her eyes dangerously.
"but arrested. That's cool..you can add that to amazingly scary ear spike and death glare right?"
"I didn't even get charged" she retorted, slapping his hand as he tried to steal her ketchup.
"judging by the look on the managers face he was to besotted to charge you, pretty sure I heard him say something along the lines of voice of a goddess or something" his face holding in a smirk.
"you are such a weirdo. He did not" Beca replied "maybe it was the fact that it wasn't actually my fault..that could be it"
"nope" Jesse responded "pretty sure it was the voice of a goddess thing…much better sound to it"
Beca grimaced and continued to eat her food, she looked up to find Jesse's check covered in what she really hoped was mustard. She held in her laugh, debating wheatear or not she should tell him before giving in and biting down on her lip before speaking.
"you have a little" she gestured to his check, indicating the spot that marked his face. Jesse just stared at her blankly watching her hand movement vaguely.
"mustard. Face. Come on" Beca moaned. Jesse continued to keep his face blank.
"Jesse you have food on your face. Wipe it off"
Jesse picked up the napkin on the table and wiped down the wrong side of his face. Beca snorted.
"Seriously" she said sliding round to his side of the booth grabbing the napkin as she went. Moving one hand to grab his face to move it so she could reach the spot she placed her thumb under his chin and placed her palm flat on his check. She turned his head so she could reach the spot on his face, wiping it roughly before checking she'd got it all. Turning his face back to hers Beca saw the glint in Jesse's eye as he tried to control his face. Suddenly it clicked. He had know where the mark was all along. She pushed his face away quickly before sharply pulling back her hand.
"ugh you are such a DORK" she exclaimed, moving back to her side of the booth, scowling at Jesse who was now laughing loudly. She kept her eyes narrowed till he finished chuckling at her actions, still grinning Jesse rolled his eye at her in a odd reverse of rolls. Finishing their meals in relative silence, apart from Jesse laughing under his breath every 30 seconds the pair pushed away their trays at the same time.
"come one" Jesse sighed. "Lets get back to campus"
He stood up moving towards the door. Looking back at Beca he saw she hadn't moved "come on jail house, or I'll send you back in" He shouted while walking out the door, waiting on the other side for walked out the door with her eyes still narrowed at him as they walked over to his car.
"you can't do that, you already bailed me" She sulked. He reached for his keys in his pocket reaching for the passenger door first
"I don't know" he mumbled "I could tell them I got the wrong one and I want a refund" smiling widely as he opened the door for her, rolling her eyes Beca stepped towards the car door that was separating her and Jesse "we both know you got the best deal" she smiled stepping into the car shutting the door on Jesse's laugh.
