Beca's POV
"Adam, I can't believe you almost said that" I hissed as Adam, Jessica and I left the house and headed to Jesse's
"Almost said what?" asked Adam stupidly; I turned on my heel to face him although I had to look up to him since he is taller than me
"Don't play stupid with me, Adam, you just about said Jesse was my boyfriend!" I yelled up to him, he still seemed to get intimidated by me even though I am much shorter than him
"Jesse's your what?" said a voice from behind me, I spun around to see Jesse poking his head out of his door, and he had a smug grin on his face like he had heard everything
"Jesse's my nothing" I replied, he hung his head in fake hurt
"You're my friend nerd!, but just my friend" I said to him as he held his head up again, he motioned for us to come in with his hand, we obeyed Jesse and walked in his house behind him to find a woman, a man, a boy and a girl, Jesse introduced us to all of them
"Beca, Adam, this is my mom, my dad, my little brother Jason, he's 10 and my older sister, Erin, she's 24" he explained gesturing to each person as he introduced them
"Mom, Dad, Jase, Erin this is Beca and Adam, they are brother and sister, and of course you have met Jessica before" he explained introducing us
"It's nice to meet you both!" said Jesse's mom on behalf of everyone
I walked through into the living room which was kind of large, Donald and Benji were already here, I took a seat next to Donald, Jessica and Adam took a seat next to Benji and Jesse came over and sat next to me,
"Hey guys" I greeted Donald and Benji but they were too engrossed in their video game I only got a short 'hey' out of both of them. I played with my hands nervously as I realised how close Jesse was to me "Why does he always have to sit so close to me?" I asked myself in my head, I looked up from my hands and saw Adam and Jessica smiling at me being so nervous just because Jesse is sitting so close to me, I'm Beca Mitchell I don't get nervous around guys damn it! Jesse placed a hand on my leg making me jump slightly
"You ok?" he asked concerned
"Yeah fine" I lied, well it's not like I'm going to say "no because you make me nervous when you sit close to me" what else could have I said? I literally got saved from this conversation from the door bell ringing; Jesse left the room to answer it
"Beca you can't keep pushing him away, and don't deny it you like him, you get all nervous around him" whispered Adam
"Ugh you're so annoying, fine! I may like him a little ok I said it, would you get off my back now?" I yelled in a whispered tone
"Not until you go out with him" he said grinning at me, I groaned and held my head in my hands
"Beca you have to be the one to ask him out because he is never going to do anything after what happen with you know the…..kiss" he whispered, I shot him a glare as soon as I heard footsteps coming from the hall, but it wasn't everyone else it was Jesse's little brother, Jason
"Hey guys, what movie are you watching tonight!" he asked excitedly, he must be a movie nerd like Jesse
"The Breakfast club" replied Benji simply not taking his eyes off the screen, Jason sat beside me and started asking questions
"Are you Jesse's girlfriend?" he asked out of nowhere, my eyes widened and I tried to hide my frustration from the 10 year old, everyone else in the room sniggered, why did they find it so funny
"Um no, were just friends" I replied, why did it feel so wrong to say Jesse wasn't my boyfriend? Was he meant to be my boyfriend? Ok now I am just putting stupid thoughts in my head. He just nodded and ran off to his room, everyone else was still giggling
"Not funny guys" I said giving them all a glare
"Even….a ten….year old….notices" said Adam in between laughs. Finally Jesse walked in followed by Stacie, Amy, Lilly, Ashley, Unicycle, Kolio and Cynthia Rose, we all spread ourselves around the room, I was sat on the couch next to Jesse and Stacie.
"You ever seen "The Breakfast Club" Beca?" asked Jesse, I shook my head at him and his jaw dropped and his eyes widened, wow really he gets like this over a movie?
"You haven't lived, you are such a deprived child!" he yelled in shock
"Don't be so dramatic nerd, it's just a movie!" I joked
"It's not Just a movie" he retorted
"Okay, as adorable this is can we just watch the movie?" interrupted Stacie, everybody laughed and Jesse was smiling. Jesse's little brother, Jason came racing down the stairs as he heard the movie starting
"Hey Jesse can I watch with you guys?!" he pleaded
"No, Jase" Replied Jesse
"But I love "The Breakfast Club" He whined
"I don't care! Go upstairs and watch your own copy of it!" Said Jesse harshly, seriously! They have two copies of the same movie in one house?!
"Okay" Jason said sheepishly and made his way upstairs
"Did you have to be so harsh on your brother?" I asked Jesse looking up at him
"You're harsh to your brother, I heard you guys arguing today outside" he shot back, I looked over at Adam who was sticking his tongue out at me.
As the end credits rolled everybody started singing along except for me and Adam, who hadn't seen the movie
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
"So miss Mitchell, did you enjoy the greatest movie of all time!?" asked Jesse making his voice sound dramatic, I just looked at him and giggled, I just giggled, I don't giggle, I looked over at Adam with his eyes widened in shock and mouthed the words "Did you just giggle?" to me, I ignored him and turned back to Jesse
"You still haven't answered my question" he said suddenly going serious
"Oh yeah it was good actually, not really what I had expected" I replied, he didn't say a word he just locked his eyes with mine and sent me in a daze, oh god what is happening, how can a guy make someone feel like this.
"YEAH! MY PARENTS ARE GONE FOR THE WEEKEND AND MY SISTERS THROWING A PARTY, you guys wanna go?" yelled Amy as she looked at her text snapping me and Jesse out of our daze.
"Will there be alcohol?!" asked Stacie excitedly
"I'm guessing if Amy's sister is anything like her I'm sure there will be alcohol" said Cynthia rose
"Of course there will be alcohol!" confirmed Amy
"Great! Something my dad disapproves of, underage drinking!" I said genuinely excited "But wait me and Adam can't go home drunk tonight" I added realising that if me and Adam go home drunk, we would get skinned alive
"Uhhhh…ummmm you guys can all crash at mine?" suggested Amy; we all nodded in agreement and everyone texted their parents saying they were having a 'sleepover' at Amy's
To: Dad
Hey dad can me and Adam stay over at Amy's tonight? Xx-Beca
Everyone else was typing out their texts, while I waited on my dad's response
To: Beca
I suppose so Bec; just make sure you call me tomorrow xx-Dad
"Were in! Adam" I yelled excitedly as I read the text
"Shhhhh, everyone keep it down my parents are still in the house you know" whispered Jesse, hushing us all, he left to go asks his mom if he could go.
"When are you asking him out then?" asked Stacie
"Oh c'mon, give me a break!" I replied not wanting to answer
"C'mon Bec stop being so stubborn" whined Ashley, who was wrapped in Kolio's arms
"Why do you guys care about my love life so bad, anyway, it's not like you're pressuring Donald into asking Stacie out" I said, that shut everyone up, Donald looked down and Stacie turned towards him
"You really like me?" she asked him in disbelief, he nodded still not making eye contact, this was not like the Donald I knew, the one I knew was a really confident guy.
"No, I don't mean it in a bad way, it's just people tend to use me" admitted Stacie "But that's really sweet" she added and leaned over to him and kissed him on the cheek causing him to grin like an idiot. Jesse walked back through the room fist pumping the air, I guess he is allowed to go; I always seemed to be glad when Jesse entered the room because everyone would shut up about me and him. Everybody was right though I needed to do something about it, it's like they can see through my head, and I can't just keep getting nervous around him. I had to do something and I decided tonight was perfect because everyone else would be drunk anyway.
"Shit! I can't go" cursed Unicycle slamming his phone on the couch beside him
"Aww tough luck man!" said Donald patting him on the back
"I'll see you guys tomorrow, wait probably Monday" he laughed and left Jesse's house.
"We ready to go guys?" asked Jesse as he grabbed his hoodie and phone, we all stood up and grabbed our belongings and followed Jesse out of his house, Me and Jesse walked in front of everyone but they kept close behind us, as we walked towards Amy's house, which is like a 20 minute walk, I heard whispering from behind me, probably everyone else talking about me and Jesse, I really had to do something if I want them to get off my back. I motioned my finger to Jesse to get him to lean down so I could whisper in his ear; he obeyed and bent down slightly as we continued to walk
"Listen Jesse, I would never admit this to anyone else but I really like you, I'm sorry I ran off that day when you tried to kiss me, I've just never really experienced these feelings before" I whispered to him, he nodded and a grin grew on his face
"I feel the exact same way" he whispered back and I had a matching grin on my face. Thank god I got that off my chest. We walked in a comfortable silence for ten minutes, wait does this mean me and Jesse are like together or? Jesse edged a little closer to me and linked my pinkie with his, I looked up at him he had a look of caution on his face, I reassured him with a smile and intertwined our fingers together, as soon as we were holding hands there were cheers coming from behind us
"FINALLY!" they all yelled in unison, Jesse and I looked at each other and just laughed, I showed all of them behind us my middle finger and they all faked hurt
"Way to ruin the moment Beca" joked Jessica.
We arrived in Amy's street and could hear the music blasting from her house; the only thing was it was terrible music
"This music's terrible!" I yelled to Jesse so he could hear me above the noise as we all piled into Amy's house. I never let go of Jesse's hand because I didn't want to get lost in this sea of people, he lead me over to the kitchen were all the drinks were. He started mixing some different drinks together
"What the fuck is that?" I laughed
"I don't even know, but I'm sure it'll get us drunk" he joked and downed one of his mixed drinks and passed one to me, I downed it also. We had a few more drinks and started to get tipsy, Amy was full blown drunk by the looks of it, Stacie was coming round all of us and gathering us all for a game of spin the bottle, we decided to leave Amy's sisters friends out of it. We all sat in a circle together, then I just realised something, I haven't had my first kiss yet and I was going to end up having it with one of my friends, possibly a girl! I leaned over to Jesse
"Um I haven't had my first kiss yet and I don't really want the chance of having it with a girl!" I whispered in his ear as Lilly set off to find a bottle to play with
"I lied to you that day, neither have I" he admitted "do you want to have it with me?" he added cautiously, before I could answer Lilly staggered over with a bottle in her hand
"Guys can you wait a second?" Jesse asked the rest of the group, they all nodded and watched us
"are you sure?" he whispered, I nodded and he leaned in and kissed me, I kissed him back passionately, tangling my fingers through his hair, I pulled back for a second and smiled into his lips before kissing him one last time, I mouthed the word 'wow' to him before he sat back in his place
"What was all that about? Asked Stacie
"We wanted to have our first kisses with each other and not you guys, no offence" replied Jesse, there was a chorus of awws before Amy interrupted
"OKAY LETS GET THIS STARTED!" she yelled and spun the bottle, it landed on Adam so Amy shuffled over to him and practically squished him into the ground not letting him breath and kissed him, we all just laughed at Amy's antics. Adam spun the bottle next, it landed on me we both exchanged horrified glances
"Holy shit! No way, I can't kiss my brother I'll be scarred for life" I protested
"Too bad Beca, go give your bro a nice big kiss!" said Cynthia Rose
"Adam! Why aren't you saying anything?!" I whined
"What do you want me to say Bec, they're gonna make us do it anyway" he said helplessly
"Fine!" I groaned and Adam crawled over to me
"Kiss, kiss, kiss" they all chanted except Jessica and Jesse
"Can I keep my mouth closed?" asked Adam turning towards Amy
"Nope! Must be a lip lock at least" replied Amy with a devilish grin on her face, I punched Adam in the chest
"You had to go and ask dipshit!" I hissed through my gritted teeth, I closed my eyes and parted my lips slightly as he came towards me, as soon as I felt his lips on mine I shuddered at the thought that they were my brothers lips, we kept our lips locked for 5 seconds then Jesse pulled me off him, I wiped my mouth furiously trying to get the taste of my brother off of them.
We finished our game and had a lot more drinks, Amy's sisters friends had decided to all stay over at Amy's house so we all decided to go to Stacie's, I checked the time 1:30am
"Are you sure your dad won't be back till tomorrow?" I asked Stacie as we gathered all of our drunken friends to leave the house
"Yeah I'm sure" she slurred. We got everyone out the house and made our way to Stacie's, we all had our arms slung around each other like a group of drunken men that wake you up during the night, as we staggered down the streets we started to sing drunkenly at the top of our lungs
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
"WERE LIKE FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, everyone laughed and Stacie started to sing a song from "high school musical"
We're all in this together
Once we know
That we are
We're all stars
And we see that
The rest of us joined in; don't even ask why we know the lyrics.
We're all in this together
And it shows
When we stand
Hand in hand
Make our dreams come true
We finished singing and broke down in laughter but were stopped by an angry male voice
"WOULD YOU IDIOTS SHUT THE FUCK UP; SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY NEED SOME SL-, Adam, and Beca?"
