I found out that I was doing the dialogue parts wrong, so I rewrote everything. Writing in English is different... Well, living and learning, huh?

Anyway, Chapter 2! Enjoy it!


"Sorry about the mess." Jesse said from the kitchen. "I didn't have much time to unpack things yet."

"Oh, we are the ones who should be apologizing, coming here all of sudden and all." Chloe said, as she kept petting Bruce. "Your dog is really nice, so well-behaved."

"Yeah. Tell me about it." Beca said sarcastically and got a weird look from Chloe.

Jesse got out of the kitchen with glasses and a plate of snacks.

"I haven't gone shopping yet, so I opened the basket you gave me, if you guys don't mind." Jesse said, giving a glass of wine for each girl.

"That's okay." Stacie said. "Besides, we've chosen a pretty good wine." She winked.

Beca took her glass and drank half of without breathing. She'd decided to get drunk, so the night would pass faster. Her actions didn't get unnoticed, though.

"So, Jesse," Chloe started, trying to cover Beca's bad mood. "New in LA?" she asked.

"Uh… not exactly." He looked embarrassed. "I've lived here since high school. I just needed to move out from my old apartment."

"And why was that?" Stacie asked curious.

"My girlfriend and I broke up." He said staring at the floor. "And living on my brother's couch wasn't working very well." He smirked.

"Oh gosh, sorry for asking such a thing…"

"Nice…" Beca said looking how the wine moved inside her glass. "She gets the apartment, and you get the dog." Maybe it was the alcohol saying. Or maybe it was only her bad mood.

"Actually," Jesse said a little impatient "I'd rather have Bruce than any apartment in the world."

She just kept staring at him like he was mental.

"What about you three?" Jesse asked and Beca noticed he wouldn't look at her as he asked. "How did you guys end up living together?"

"We went to the same college, Barden University." Chloe said.

"Yeah, we were at the acapella group and became really good friends, so after graduating, we moved here and have been living together since."

"Acapella group?" Jesse said amazed. "So you three sing?"

Before Jesse could finish his question, Beca stood up. Being at the Bellas was really nice and she had made best friends like Chloe and Stacie, but performing on stage was still something she felt embarrassed of. And she wasn't in the mood for talking with a stranger who lived with a giant monster about the shit they sang at college and how magic it was to be onstage. Besides, she was exhausted and the wine wasn't helping it.

"You know what? I'm tired and I still have a lot of work to do. You guys can stay here and talk, but I'm leaving now."

Chloe and Stacie looked at each other. They knew Beca was on her limits. Being nice never was one of her good points, but that night, she was worst than ever.

"Yeah. We should all go." Chloe said, also standing up. "It's late and we're taking your time, Jesse."

"No, you're not, Chloe. Uh, maybe we could drink again when I'm done settling down." He said opening the front door for them.

"You know where to find us." Stacie smiled.

"Yeah, yeah." Beca said walking towards their apartment. "Good night, neighbor."

She didn't even bother looking at him. She unlocked the door and got in. A few seconds later, Chloe and Stacie were inside as well. Beca was back lying on the couch, with headphones and laptop.

"Nice first impression you made, Beca." Chloe said tired, sitting on the other couch.

"I told you I didn't want to go."

"That didn't mean you should treat him like that." Stacie said from her room.

"You, on the other hand," Chloe said accusatory. "were hitting on Jesse."

"He's not really my type." Stacie answered.

"I thought 'man' was your type" Beca said with a bored voice.

"Why not?" Chloe asked, trying to ignore Beca's comment, but smiling a bit.

"He's all too sweet." Stacie said walking now to the kitchen to take a glass of water. "He's nice and kind and is a dogs person, but I'm into bad guys right now."

Chloe and Beca just glanced at each other, don't even bothering to ask. Stacie changed her preferences faster than Chloe could choose a pair of shoes. And that was definitely something to be concerned about.

"What about you, Beca?" Chloe asked excited. "What do you think about him?"

Beca stopped her fingers and kept staring at Chloe for a while. "I know where you are going, Chlo, and it's not gonna happen."

"What?" she made her best innocent face. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't give me that look." She narrowed her eyes. "I know you, Beale."

"Still don't know what you're talking about, Mitchell." She checked her nails.

"I think," Stacie sat on the couch with Chloe. "She's saying that you" she looked at Chloe "are trying to set her up" she pointed at Beca "with the neighbor."

"I am not!" Chloe looked fake-shocked. "But now that you said that, why not, Beca?" she asked turning into her roommate.

"Are you kidding me?" She asked. "I'll not even bother answering you." She got back to her laptop screen.

"Come on, Beca! You guys would be so cute together!"

"Yeah, I think that too." Stacie said honestly.

"That guy just broke up with the girl he was living with." Beca said standing up and walking to her bedroom. "I'm not gonna be the sweet and adorable fucking girl who will fix that idiot's heart." As soon as she finished her sentence, she shut the door angrily.

"At least you should be nice to him." Chloe said out loud. "Well, nicer!" she corrected herself.

"Yeah, and maybe then we could all go to Karaoke and sing together like we used to do in college." She said back loudly.

"Oh, that would be nice!" Stacie said happily.

Beca opened the door. "I'm being sarcastic, Stacie." She said and closed the door again.

Chloe sighed. Sometimes, Beca's attitude was hard to deal with.

"You know what?" Stacie told her in a low voice. "She didn't like us at the beginning as well. And now we're best friends." She smiled.

Chloe smiled back. "You're right, Stacie. Let's give her some time."

"Yeah, like four years or more."

The two of them laughed. Maybe things would get better in the future. Well, maybe.


I'm skipping time for the next chapter. Don't really know how to put my ideas together, ha ha.
