Hey guys! If you like this fanfic please read my other one called Hard in love with you.
Chapter 7
I'm leaning in, ready to kiss him. I start to panic when his face is inches from mine. His hot breath washes over my face. I can't do this. I remove my hands from his neck and run. Not anywhere in particular, just run, with tears stream down my face.
"Beca wait!" I hear Jesse yell to me. I keep running. God what is wrong with me. I want so badly to turn around and kiss him, but I just can't. I run and run and run. I start to cross the road, but am too drunk to see the car hurtling towards me…..
THE NEXT DAY 9:00 AM
I wake up in a hospital bed. Shit. I open my eyes more and see Jesse sitting at my bedside. Shit.
"Good morning miss Mitchell." Jesse says with a grin.
"Uh, good morning." I say awkwardly. He takes my hand in his.
"How are you feeling?" He asks concerned. I stare into his beautiful eyes, paralysed for a moment.
"I'm feeling…. Fine." I say lamely. I look at the clock mounted on the wall.
"Shit Jesse you should be at school!" I inform him hastily. He just smiles at me, and god it's a hot smile.
"They gave me the day off to be at the hospital with you." He says with a shrug, his smile refusing to fall.
"Why?" I ask, slightly angry at how the school got me into this awkward situation.
"Because you're my friend I guess. Stacie and Fat Amy are coming in an hour. In the meantime, wanna play ten questions?" He asks hopefully. I freeze. I gulp quickly before nodding.
"Um, its my turn." I mention awkwardly. If he's trying to bring make me bring up the almost kiss, then I'm not going to, I'll make him bring it up.
"What was your first kiss?" I ask curiously. He seems unaffected by my question.
"I was 13 and I just went on a date with the prettiest girl in school. And I kissed her." He explains promptly.
"Who was it with?" I ask. He starts to blush uncharacteristically.
"Uh, it's not your turn." He stutters. "What was yours?" He asks quietly.
"I was also 13 and I had an obsession with love songs. So a boy said if he performed a love song dedicated to me in the talent show, would I kiss him. I said yes, he did, and then I kissed him." I say with a grimace. He smirks at my answer. "Who was your first kiss with?" I ask, glaring at him, daring him to bring up the kiss. He mumbles something inaudible.
"What did you say?" I ask. He mumbles again, slightly louder.
"I can't hear you." I tell him.
"It was with…. Stacie." He says with an expression of guilt. No way!
"Dude, are you kidding?" I ask in surprise. He nods, hanging his head in shame.
"My turn." He says, trying to change the subject. "Who in our group of friends is your best friend." He asks. Okay, I am going to say Stacie, unlike last time.
"You." I answer. I can't believe I did it again! The door smashes open and a tall blonde girl, followed by a slightly shorter redhead enter the room.
"Aubrey, Chloe, what are you doing here?" Jesse asks in surprise. They turn to him with vicious looks on their faces.
"Oh, just stopping by to see your girlfriend." The redhead mocks. Jesse stands up, clearly irritated by just their presence.
"She is not my girlfriend." Jesse says, his whole body tensing and his fists clenching. God, he looks so hot. "Besides, you haven't even met Beca." Jesse adds through gritted teeth.
"Oh we know, we just wanted to skip school." Aubrey says with a bitchy smile.
"Well, if you're going to skip school, skip school somewhere else." Jesse says, while stepping in front of me defensively. Is he trying to protect me? My heart skips a beat at just the thought.
"Oh, we just needed to welcome your girlfriend to the school." Aubrey says with an even bitchier smile.
"Over my dead body." Jesse says.
"So you're not denying she's your girlfriend, interesting." Chloe points out much to his annoyance. Suddenly Chloe dashes forward and grabs Jesse by the arm and pulls him away. Aubrey walks up to me. Whatever Jesse was trying to protect me from, it's coming right at me.
"Hi Beca. Welcome to the school! You've already made a friend that's good. But if you think for a second, you can take my place as most popular girl at school, and steal my place as the rightful Prom queen, then you're wrong. If you attempt to do it, I will come after you, and it will not be pretty." She says. I try to figure out where I've seen this girl before. She starts to walk away. Then I realize where I've seen her before.
"Not pretty like you vomiting all over the crowd during a glee club performance." I call after her, causing her to stop in her tracks.
"How do you know about that? That video has only gotten 600 hits." She says, walking back to me.
"Well, me and my brother are one of the 600 hits." I tell her. She glares at me, with a hint of fear in her gaze.
"If you dare tell anyone about that." Aubrey says.
"What, you'll vomit on me?" I say with a smirk. She glares at me again before leaving the room. Chloe throws Jesse back into the room. Jesse immediately walks over to me, worried.
"Are you okay?" He asks, concerned.
"I'm fine." I reassure him. God he is so cute when he's being protective of me.
"What happened?" He asks, when he finishes searching my body for injuries.
"I stood up to that bitch." I reply simply. He freeze's absolutely stunned.
"You did?" He asks surprised.
"Yeah." I say. He smiles at me, impressed. I finally realize my crush is out of control, because all I want to do right now is kiss Jesse.
