"I don't understand."
Jesse sighed. Of course Beca would not be able to comprehend how much this hurts him and why he's doing this in the first place.
"Beca, please don't make the situation more difficult than it already is," he said as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Will you please just explain why you're breaking up with me in the first place!" Beca shouted. She was trembling and in the verge of crying. The shorter brunette could not comprehend why Jesse suddenly breaks up with her after 4 years into their relationship. He was the best boyfriend anyone could ever have. Well except for the moviecations, the whole cuddling thing and she doesn't like to kiss him that much especially when he did not shave. Scratchy face is a no no in Beca's book.
Wait.
She was thinking in past tense. She used was instead of is. And she only realized how much he annoys her when he gets lovey dovey.
"You know why," Jesse answered without a beat.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Beca crossed her arms in defiance.
"Holy crap Beca! Are you freaking kidding me?" Jesse shouted before face palming himself. "I can't… I have to sit down. You're making this even more difficult that it has to." Jesse sat on Amy's bed. He sighed before continuing, "Seriously Beca, the last 4 years of our relationship seemed to be more like friends with benefits rather than a real relationship. It's like being friend zoned while in a freaking relationship." The Treble looked Beca straight in her eyes as he said this. His voice was calm but full of spite.
"But Jesse…" the Bella tried to console her now ex-boyfriend.
"Don't but me Beca," he sighed again. "Look, I know your in denial and everything but I'm giving you an out here. I see everyday how you look at her and…"
"I don't… I look like what? How?" Beca was taken aback.
"Because that's the way I look at you, Beca."
Silence.
Beca sat down next to Jesse and tears started to fall down her cheeks. When Jesse saw this, he took his handkerchief and gave it to her.
"Why are you doing this? Why are you so kind? I didn't mean to be an asshole to you. I really tried. I thought it was just a crush but…" Beca mumbled.
Jesse hooked his left arm around Beca and let the Bella sink in to his side before replying, "Because I didn't want to be in a fake relationship with you. I loved you, Beca. I did. But somehow all that pretending… It's just I know it's time for us to break up."
"I'm sorry."
"I know."
The silence was deafening for the both of them. After a few moments, Jesse stood up and walked slowly to the door.
"Call you tomorrow?" Jesse said without turning around.
But Beca did not answer verbally instead she just nodded. Jesse took the silence as an affirmative and went out the room. He can still hear sobbing on the other side of the door. He wanted to comfort the Bella but decided to leave for his own sake.
As he was going down the stairs, he saw Chloe sitting alone in the living room just staring at the muted television. He continued to leave the house but as he was about to turn the knob, he said loud enough for Chloe to hear, "Don't break her heart."
"I won't," Chloe responded as she stood up from the sofa and headed upstairs.
"Good," whispered Jesse and then went out the door.
