CHAPTER 10 - MISSION: GET HAYLEY AWAY FROM BECA
-JESSE-
Jesse hoped their plan will work. He'd given each Treble Maker, including him, a job: A job to get Hayley away from Beca whenever she comes near her.
"Do you think it will work?" Jesse asked the Trebles who were gathered around him, in front of Beca's dorm. A lot of people might think that this just WAY over exaggerated. You know, the thought of someone, specifically someone's boyfriend, keeping a person away from his girlfriend just to protect her. But it was all what Jesse could do to protect Beca.
"It will work, dude. I'm 101 % sure it will" Donald assured him. He just hoped he was right.
"1" Benji said, and then he placed his right hand in the middle of the crowd they've created.
"2" Uni followed, and then placed his hand over Benji's. The other's followed placing their palms over Benji's. Jesse knew they were all waiting for him.
"3" He said, and then too, placed his hand over Kyle's which was placed on the top. Then they all said in unison.
"SWAG"
"Let the mission begin" Donald said. Then the other Trebles ran to their places. Of course, Jesse's place to guard was of course inside Beca's dorm. Donald and Uni are assigned in front of Beca's dorm. Jesse thought that both Uni and Donald were the biggest of the group, so Jesse placed them outside the dorm.
Jesse peeked through the window of Beca's dorm. It was a good thing to that Kimmy Jin moved into another dorm with one of her friends, because if she hadn't Jesse would've probably been receiving the 'Kimmy-Jin-Stare' right now.
"What are you looking at?" Jesse heard Beca ask; probably noticing that he was peeking at the window.
"Nothing" Jesse said, then closed the curtains then sat down on the chair beside Beca's bed. Beca was sitting down on her bed when Jesse came in.
"You really should sleep Bec. The school nurse said so" Jesse said, as he held Beca's hand.
"C'mon Jess, I've told you, I hate being took care of like this. I don't want to feel useless" Beca told him.
"Alright, you said so. But are you sure you'd have enough rest already?" Jesse asked. He decided to not urge Beca to go back to sleep, he didn't want to have another fight with Beca just like last year.
"I'm sure nerd. What's with the 'mission' anyway?" Beca asked him.
"What mission?" He asked.
"The one I heard just a while ago, you guys were talking about it" Beca told him.
"Oh, that one, well, it's actually for… ah…for" Jesse told him. He couldn't seem to tell Beca about the mission, because he thinks that Beca might get angry at him because of it.
"C'mon Jesse, if it's about Hayley, I'm pretty sure, she didn't mean what happened yesterday" Beca told him.
Oh, men. Jesse never would've thought that Beca would know it. Not that he thinks she's dumb, it's just because he never thought she would.
"You just said it Bec, we're not sure" Jesse said.
"Alright, but Jess, please stop this mission" Beca pleaded. Jesse really couldn't resist Beca, but he knew he had to continue it. For Beca's sake.
"Alright, will stop it" Jesse said. He knew deep inside that it wasn't a complete lie.
As soon as Beca started, and was focused on remixing already. Jesse heard someone talk from outside the door. He peeked through the small circle covered with a glass on the door. He saw both Donald and Uni trying to stop Hayley who were trying to get inside.
He put his hear beside the door, and listened to the whole conversation.
"I just have to talk to Jesse" Hayley said.
"For the last time, Hayley. Jesse's not here" He heard Uni said.
Why she was looking for Jesse, Jesse had no idea. He continued to listen.
"JESSE!" He heard Hayley shout. Seconds later, someone started banging on the door, and suddenly Jesse knew who it was. None other than, Hayley.
Jesse remained silent, trying to not let Hayley know he was inside. He looked at Beca who had a confused look in her face.
'What's happening?' Beca mouthed to Jesse.
'It's Hayley' Jesse mouthed back.
And then motioned for her to keep quiet, by putting his finger over his mouth. Beca replied with a quick nod.
Seconds later, Hayley left the scene. Just to be sure, Jesse peeked through the hole. When he knew that the coast was clear, he slowly opened the door, careful not to let Beca hear.
"Thank god, she's gone" Uni said, as he sat down on the tiled floor.
"Yeah, same here" Donald said.
"Good job, guys" Jesse said, and then gave the two guys a high-five.
They all went silent after talking about how successful the first phase in their mission went. Jesse went inside with Beca still focused on her laptop. Thank god, she still was.
Jesse knew he has been keeping a lot of secret from Beca these days, and he knew he needs to keep the secrets away from Beca. He knew it was for her own good.
