A/N: Hey you awesome nerds! To clear some things up for certain reviewers; Beca does not willingly hang out with Zach. She tolerated her COUSIN for a few hours so she could visit her other cousin that she was worried about. I personally don't have any cousins, so I don't know how deep that bond is, but in my story Beca, Zach, and Avery are pretty close. And you guys haven't read any flashbacks yet! Don't assume anything! Technically I never said Zach raped anyone. So anyway, if any of you guys would like to suggest songs for the Footnotes for the semi finals, I would love to put them in the story. Here's chapter 10, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Pitch Perfect, its characters, or any of the songs mentioned. (or End of Watch)

"Oh god no," Jesse stuttered, "You guys can make me do anything else, but I'm not kissing anyone other than my girlfriend tonight or ever. Especially not Audrey, no offense, I mean that in the nicest way possible. I'm just, I mean I wouldn't, and um," Beca stepped out of the cupboard.

"Alright nerds! Pay up!" she told them and walked around the circle collecting money from everyone. Jesse sat there looking at the group.

"You guys all bet that I would kiss Audrey?" he asked in disbelief.

"No!" they all exclaimed.

"Bumper bet me that he could get you to kiss a girl at the party. Donald bet me that Chloe would be the girl. I bet Amy it would be during Truth or Dare. Uni bet me that you would be drunk. Jessica bet me that I would be present during it. Then Cynthia bet you would do it if I wasn't here. I bet Stacie that you would be a gentleman about it and I bet Kolio you would stutter," Beca explained so fast Jesse didn't see how it was possible.

"Well I'm glad everyone has such faith in me," Jesse grumbled. Beca rolled her eyes and sat back down in the circle.

"Okay, since my turn was skipped, Marcus. Truth or Dare?" Marcus looked around the circle to see everybody motioning for to pick truth, but Marcus didn't want to be labeled as a wimp so he looked at Beca bravely.

"Dare!" Beca grinned and rubbed her hands together while the rest of the group groaned.

"I dare you and the rest of the Trebles to let me pick your set list for the semi-finals," she decided and the Trebles went at it.

"Way to go man!" Bumper screamed as Donald slapped Marcus upside the head.

"What were you thinking? Are stupid?" Jesse shouted.

"Me? She's your girlfriend!" Marcus exclaimed. The Bellas were discussing what songs they should have them sing and the Trebles were all shouting at each other (mostly Marcus). They were so loud they could be heard across campus, until Marcus said the forbidden sentence. "You're the one that's stupid for dating her. After all the crap she put you through, why don't you just dump the bitch?"

The room went silent and Jesse got a hard look on his face. "Jesse don't!" Beca cried.

Crack. Too late. Jesse had punched Marcus.

"Dude!" Marcus cried as he held his now bleeding nose. He tried to hit Jesse back, but Donald and Kolio held him back.

"You don't want to do that buddy. Because not only can he take you, easily, he has Shaw shank over there. And she has already punched a few men to protect him. Not to mention the fact that everyone here, but you, knows that Beca would have given you boys amazing songs to sing because the other group we have to go against at semi-finals are pretty good. She doesn't want you guys not to move on, she just wants to hear her boy-toy sing her favorite songs," Amy explained to Marcus.

"You got arrested?" Marcus asked.

"Amy, would you stop telling people that! You," she pointed at Jesse, "My room. Now. I'll deal with you later. Amy watch him. Chloe, can you get Marcus some ice. Audrey get a towel. Donald can you guy get him to the couch?" Donald nodded and took him to the couch.

Beca sat next to him and applied the ice Chloe had given her to Marcus's swollen lip and busted face. She handed him the towel and he took it gratefully. She fixed him up as best she could before she asked Chloe to take over and went to talk to Jesse.

"Amy when I said watch him I meant like keep him company, not guard the door!" Beca told her friend who was camped outside her room.

"Oh, my bad. You should probably get Popcorn in there some ice too. His fist looked a little damaged, as if he'd ever complain. Beca nodded and returned later with some ice and bandages. She opened the door to Jesse glaring at the floor. Beca walked over, kneeled next to him, and bandaged his hand.

"I'm sorry," they both spoke at the same time.

"What are you sorry for?" Jesse questioned confused.

"Marcus was right. I'm a jerk to you," Beca mumbled. He sighed.

"Not always, but last week was kind of hell for me," Beca nodded and her expression grew even sadder. "But you had a good reason Becs."

She didn't respond so Jesse took out his laptop and put on 16 Candles. They laid down and started to watch he movie.

"Is they were you got your pick up lines and abnormally large ego?" Bec asked referring to the annoying freshman in the movie.

"Yep," he said.

"Please tell me you never tried to smell me," Beca begged glancing up at Jesse who was mouthing the words of the movie.

"Yep," Beca laughed and they remained silent watching the movie until they both fell asleep.

"Has anyone seen Jesse and Beca?" Chloe asked the following morning when she entered the kitchen, "Last I checked they were asleep in Beca's bed, but they aren't there anymore. Plus it's only 9:15. I'm beginning to think I slept through an entire day."

"Wouldn't be the first time," Stacie muttered sipping her coffee. Aubrey rolled her eyes.

"They went to breakfast with Beca's dad. I guess he wanted to meet the boy Beca serenaded at last years competition." Chloe nodded in understanding.

"Okay, one more question," Chloe pointed to the sleeping boys in the living room. Amy turned around the computer she was working on. The screen showed an article about the dangers of Halloween candy.

"Did you know it's actually possible to get high off of candy!" she exclaimed. Chloe shook her head.

"No it's not, but there are such things as a sugar crash," Chloe walked over to the cabinet and opened it looking for cereal. She didn't find it and shrieked.

Bumper and Donald ran into the room yelling, "Did Beca find it!"

"Oh man! Way to ruin the surprise!" Bumper complained taking the real tarantula with a picture of a clothless Jesse into his hands.

"One, Beca left an hour ago. Two, Chloe don't open the cereal cabinet. Three, I want that thing out of this house. And four, let me keep the picture as leverage." Aubrey said in a dull tone not glancing up from the magazine she was reading.

"What could you possibly use that as leverage for?" Jessica asked.

"Beca might want it to use over Jesse, or stare at, or use for some other erotic purpose. Stacie might want it to use over Beca, or stare at, or suck on, or use for some other specific erotic purpose. And Jesse will want it so that I don't have it, Beca doesn't have it, and above all Stacie doesn't have it." Aubrey said in the same tone still not looking at anyone.

Bumper handed the picture to Aubrey.

"Hey!" Stacie yelled, "I wouldn't use it over Beca!" the Bellas shook their heads muttering things like wow, or really.

"That's what she mad about being accused over?" Donald asked in disbelief. They only nodded. "Okay then."

"Would anybody else pay to watch Jesse being interrogated by Beca's dad?" Uni asked as he entered the room and caught the soda Donald tossed to him. Bumper grabbed the keys from the counter.

"Why pay?"

"Hello , I'm Jesse Swanson. Beca's boyfriend," Jesse shook Beca's father's hand. Beca and Jesse had met her father at a small diner in the outskirts of town.

"You have a weak grip my boy, didn't anybody ever teach you how to shake someone's hand?" asked disapprovingly.

"Dad stop, you're scaring him," Beca turned to Jesse, "He's just kidding Jess. Don't worry."

"Aren't you the boy who bailed my daughter out of jail?" asked Jesse as they got led to their table.

"I thought you said you didn't bail me out," Beca whispered accusingly.

"Not now," Jesse muttered back, while trying to keep a smile on his face so her father didn't notice their exchange.

"So Jesse," Dr. Mitchell asked as he sat down in the booth not giving Jesse a chance to answer his previous question, "What's your major?"

"It's uh, music. I'm majoring in music and minoring in business. I want to score movies when I finish college." Jesse said nervously glancing between Beca and her father.

"Really Beca, couldn't you go for someone who was majoring in something in more promising. Pre-med, pre-law, pre-something?" Dr. Mitchell said jokingly, but Jesse took it personally. Beca saw hurt flash over his eyes as he tried to shake it off. She grabbed his hand under the table, silently telling him to ignore the man sitting across from him.

Jesse smiled at Beca trying to reassure her that he was fine.

"Dad, stop. Seriously."

"Beca I'm Jesse can handle himself, can't you young man?" Dr. Mitchel nodded in Jesse's direction as he took out his napkin. Jesse nodded curtly.

"You guy's, Jesse is freaking out in there. Donald do something," Chloe whispered from a table across the restaurant. Yes they were spying on them, don't judge.

"Um okay," Donald said as he pulled out his phone and dialed Jesse's number.

Jesse's phone started to ring and Jesse politely excused himself from the table. He went outside to where his friends were waiting for him.

"You guys are pathetic. You really didn't have anything better to do than crash my date with Beca," Jesse shook his head in amusement.

"Dude it's not a date. You're meeting her dad," Bumper rolled his eyes and took a bite out of a whole pancake he was holding in his filthy hands. Jesse cringed in disgust.

"Yeah I am, and I really should get back to that," Jesse said trying to slowly walk away, but Chloe and Aubrey stopped him.

"Not yet. You need to stop being to shy," Chloe told him.

"And fix your jacket," Aubrey adjusted his collar.

"Make sure to smile."

"Put your arm around Beca."

"Talk about music."

"Or school."

"Compliment Beca."

"But not about her clothes."

"Or body."

"And whatever you do,"

"Don't make any movie references!" they finished together.

"Okay, got it," Jesse said as he walked back into the restaurant. He apologized to Dr. Mitchell and sat back down next to Beca, putting his arm around her. Beca turned her head and smiled at him.

"You have really pretty eyes," he told her. Beca smiled bigger.

"You're a dork, but I love you," she told him.

"I love you too." Dr. Mitchell watched the exchange between the couple.

"Beca, I think I left my wallet in the car. Can you go get it?" he raised his eyebrows at her.

"Oh that's okay sir, I can pay." Jesse responded not wanting to be left alone with Beca's father.

"Oh no son, that's alright. Beca?" Dr. Mitchell's voice didn't leave room for discussion. Beca nodded and left the table.

"Jesse," Dr. Mitchell approached and tap his finger together, "That's my daughter that you just said I love you too. Now, I've had experience making mistakes in the department. So I just want to ask you one thing. Can you live without her? And if you can't, man up and forget about her, don't string her along. Think about it, because I didn't."
