A HUGE thank you to everyone for your support. Honestly it is overwhelming and very sweet. Disclaimer: I am not American so I am not sure if my information about US college dates is correct and a lot of the research I did just confused me. Also there are Iron Man 3 spoilers. Here's another chapter, a bit of drama in this one. As usual I still own nothing. Enjoy.

Exams were over which meant that before they knew it would be summer vacation. Which meant that before Jesse knew it he would be away from Beca for 3 months. He was dreading it. Yes he knew that it made him sound needy. He knew that he was being a ridiculous but he couldn't help it. Despite that fact that Beca had made it clear that she didn't want to hurt him but that knowledge did little to soothe his anxiety. The worst part was trying to hide it all from her.

She knew that he was hiding something. She couldn't put her finger on exactly what he wasn't telling her - all she knew was that there was something. She couldn't figure it out and it was starting to piss her off. What was he hiding?

Jesse lay on his bed trying to figure out how to make their last few weeks in the same state memorable. He groaned. "3 months without Beca." Lifting his head he slammed it back into the pillow. "Think Jesse." He knew he had a couple of hours until she finished at the radio station. Grabbing his laptop he slid Iron Man 3 into the DVD drive and waited for the movie to begin. As Tony stood tied to a metal bed frame Jesse's phone rang. A picture of Beca showed on his screen. He smiled before swiping his phone along the screen to answer. "Hey Baby." Jesse frowned and sat upright. "What? What happened?" Standing up Jesse grabbed his keys and left. His mind was buzzing as he headed to the radio station. All he could think about was Luke's words 'Becky collapsed at the Radio station.' He gritted his teeth at the thought of Luke getting her name wrong; Luke knew how much she hated it but he did it anyway. He shook the thoughts away and sped up his walking wanting to get to his girlfriend.

The sight that he saw at the front of the radio station was enough to stop his heart. Two paramedics had Beca on a stretcher. Jesse rushed towards them.

"Is she going to be okay?"

One of the parmedics turned to look at him. "You Jesse?"

Jesse nodded.

"She collasped. We're not sure why. She was asking for you before she passed out again."

Jesee couldn't help but smile. "C-can I come with you?"

The paramedic nodded.

"Great. I'll just grab Beca's bag." Not waiting for an answer he rushed into the radio station.

Jesse made a bee line for her bag.

Luke was in the booth and walked out when he saw Jesse. "Is she gonna be okay?"

"Well she's awake so that must be a good thing."

"Tell Beca to get better from me."

Jesse stared at him. "Yeah man, sure. Thanks." Turning he rushed outside towards the ambulance. Once Beca was secured in the back Jesse jumped in and sat next to her. She looked pale and sweat glistened on her skin. He grabbed her hand, it was clammy; none of the heat that he usually felt from her was present. He ran his thumb across her skin. "Hey baby. If you wanted my attention you should have just text me."

The paramedic smiled at the joke.

Jesse cleared his throat. "I was watching Iron man 3 when" His voice broke. "When I got the call. You know how much I hate not watching the end of movies. Soooo when you get better we're watching it and you're not allowed to complain." He brushed her hair out of her face. "Wake up now Beca." He stared at her; willing her to wake up. "Come on. I know you hate being woken up but this time is kind of important." A sigh escaped his lips.

The paramedic asked Jesse to move so that a blood pressure cuff could be put on the patient. Once that was done Jesse moved back and grabbed her hand. "Come on baby." He whispered. "Come on babe. Wake up now. Please. Please I need you to wake up." He was praying now. Praying to a god he didn't believe in; in that moment he wanted to believe. He didnt really remember the rest of the ride to the hospital. All he remebered was how pale and fragile his girlfriend looked lying on that gurney. Not like the Beca he knew at all.

When they arrived at the hospital Beca was rushed through a set of swinging doors. Jesse knew that he wouldn't be able to follow her but he tried anyway. A lovely but stern nurse told him that he had to stay in the waiting room. "But she's my girlfriend." The nurse smiled sadly at him. "That maybe so but you have to stay here and we'll need a family member to be here because we can't tell you anything my dear." Running his hand through his hair he turned and headed for one of the uncomfortable looking plastic chairs. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out his phone and twirled it around. He was conflicted. They need a family member here. The last time Jesse had called Beca's dad she had shut him out. He didn't want that again. With a deep breath he unlocked his phone and called Dr Mitchell.

He was impressed that Beca's dad arrived in ten minutes and was more than relived that Shelia wasn't with him. He knew that if Shelia hit on him right now he would snap, it wouldn't be pretty.

"Jesse." Dr Mitchell rushed towards him. "What happened."

Jesse sighed. "All I know is that she collopsed at work. I wasn't there. Luke the station mananger called me. I got there as soon as I could."

"Hey."

Jesse felt a hand on his shoulder.

"This isn't your fault. You're here for her now."

Jesse shrugged.

"Do you know what's going on?"

He shook his head. "They won't tell me anything, 'm not family."

"I'll go see if I can find anything out."

The next twenty minutes passed at a snails pace for Jesse. Just when herthought he couldn't take it any longer the older man returned.

"They are running some test but she's awake. She want's to see you."

Jesse shot out of his seat and followed Mr Mitchell to Beca's room. The room was pointed out to him and he rushed through the door. Seeing Beca stopped him in his tracks. Her face was still pale, her eyes squeezed shut; she looked so tiny. Tentatively he took a few steps into the room. "Hey baby."

Beca turned her head towards the voice. "Jesse. Hi."

Rushing towards her he kissed her sweetly on the lips. "You're okay." He was reassuring himself more than her. He kissed her once more and leaned his forehead against hers. "I love you." His eyes widened he hadn't meant to say it. He was so glad that she was okay and it has just slipped out. He pulled back and looked at Beca; her face was unreadable.

I am so sorry this took sooooooooo long. Thank you for your patience. A huge thank you to Lark12pp ( for all your lovely reviews and youor support.
