"Please answer, stupid," She groaned, staring at her phone. All she could hear, was Jesse's voice message. Beca sighed and looked at the ceiling. It was lonely in her dorm. She is a disappointment, even for Jesse. Her phone beeped.
Hey, it's a gig tonight too. Do you wanna join?
-Luke
Beca bit her lip,
No, but thanks. I have stuff to do
-Beca
Beca knocked on the door to Lily's dorm. Lily wasn't that easy to talk to, but at least she didn't yell at Beca. Lily opened up with big eyes, "Hi, Lily" Beca said softly. Lily looked down at her hand.
"I don't know if you are angry at me...But, I just want you to do a favor to me. Please?"
Lily swallowed and slammed the door. Beca huffed and walked out of the hall. Beca walked back to her dorm. As she opened the door, she saw Kimmy Jin and her friends playing games.
Kimmy Jin looked at her and turned back to the screen, "Anyway" She muttered. Beca walked to her closet, finding something to wear. After getting on the clothes, she texted Luke.
I'm coming
-Beca
Beca walked to the club, where the gig was held. She stood in the line, waiting for Luke.
"Hey" He came with a frown. Beca walked a step forward, "Everything okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm just done with those girls" Beca said walking to him.
"Oh, she is with me" Luke said to the guard. As they walked in Luke sighed,
"Music is music. The a capella stuff is just upsetting"
"Yeah, when it's done right, it's actually pretty great" Beca admitted.
"Uh," He grimaced and looked at her. "Great is what you're doing"
"Listen, it's spring break," He said after a moment. Beca nodded, "In the booth, I want you to do the night shifts," He said. Beca grinned, "Play your own music, do whatever you want, but the booth's all yours, Becky" He said and took a slurp of his drink.
"It's Beca" She smiled.
"What?" He said, without hearing what she said.
"My name is not Becky, it's Beca"
"Well, that's weird, why didn't you say anything?"
"I don't know" She said, making an awkward moment. "Why did you decide to play my music anyway?" She finally asked.
"Well, I finally listened to it 'cause Jesse kept bugging me" He said. Beca smiled, surprised.
"And I thought it was solid. He's a relentless kid" Beca bit her lip and she did not even say thank you to him.
"So I'm gonna go hang. Are you gonna be all right looking after yourself?"
"Yeah" She said as she gave her a thumb up. "Wait" She said.
"What?"
"The keys, to the radio station" She said, rubbing her fingers.
He handed her the keys and walked.
"Well then, " She breathed and walked out.
Beca walked into the booth, with a smile. Her dream actually came true, but she was lonely. She had expected more…. Joy. She sat down on the chair and tapped the "On air" button.
"Hello, this is Beca Mitchell, and you're listening to WBUJ" She said quietly, playing off her new mix.
Next night she sat bored in the radio station. She could call Jesse and ask him to get some food, hanging out with her in the booth –if she hadn't been such a bitch.
She loved Jesse fucking Swanson so much, yes, she did.
She sighed and took off her headset. She walked around, she got attention on a CD on the shelf. She pulled it out, the breakfast club, of course. Swanson had hypnotized her.
She turned on her laptop and played the movie. This was going to be a long night.
One and a half hour later
Beca held back the tears, she started sobbing uncontrollably. She didn't know if it was the movie that affect her, or Jesse, or both. It was not that sad, but it was sad at the same time. She regrets all the times she rejected Jesse to watch the movie. All the times.
"Oh god, " She said, wiping away the tears with her wrist. She laughed and groaned. She was ridiculous.
She walked out of the campus, she did not usually walk for no reason, but she didn't have peace in her dorm anymore. She stopped as she saw Amy in a pool, with some other guys.
Beca laughed and walked towards Amy.
"Uh, Amy?" Beca scoffed. Amy stopped laughing and looked at Beca, she took off her sunglasses.
"Hey there, Shawshank" Amy said innocently.
"What's this?" Beca frowned.
"Oh, just having fun on my spring break, what else?" She shrugged. Beca smiled, "Uhm..Hey, could you get me into the Bella's again?"
Amy chewed on her bottom lip. "Like, I can't go to Aubrey and ask. She is just bitching around.."
"I don't know… you kind of messed up on yourself" Amy said.
Beca scoffed, "What? Is this my fault?"
"Yeah, it is"
"Amy-"
"I don't think this is a good idea, Beca. I think you should go, sorry," She said softly.
Beca scoffed once again, and walked.
"What was that?" One of the guys asked.
"Just a girl from my group" Amy chuckled.
"She seems pretty scary" A girl said. They started laughing, the other guy handed Amy her phone.
"Huh" She said and answered. "Aubrey?" Amy smiled.
"We're in the competition again"
Amy's smile disappeared, "Wait, what?"
Beca stared at her screen, curiously watching E.T.
Her phone beeped, she paused the movie and grabbed her phone, taking off her headset.
We're in the competition again. Rehearsal tomorrow, no excuses
-Chloe
Beca frowned; Chloe wanted her to join the Bella's again. Beca smiled softly at the thought.
After a deep conversation with her dad, she sat on the bench in the campus.
"L.A, Barden, L.A, Barden" She said each time, picking out flower petals. "What the fuck am I doing?" She said after a moment. Her face crashed in her hands. She looked at her phone, opening up iMessage. She read all the messages Jesse and her used to send each other. Much flirting, when she thinks about it. A smile grew upon her face. She sighed, "Fucking butthurt"
As Beca came to the rehearsal room, all she could see was chaos. Amy, Aubrey, Chloe was on the floor, fighting. Lily was making a puke angel (What the fuck?), Cynthia Rose was grabbing Stacie's ass, while Stacie were blowing the BU rape whistle, while Denise were trying to get Cynthia's hands off Stacie. Jessica and Ashley were crying together. "GUYS, GUYS, STOP WHAT IS GOING ON" Beca yelled with wide eyes.
They stopped and looked at her. Aubrey grabbed the pitch pipe while everybody was distracted, "Nothing, nothing, " She walked towards Beca. "This is a Bella's rehearsal," She said quickly.
"I know" Beca said, walking carefully towards the girls. "I just… wanted to say that I'm sorry," She said simply. Aubrey's lips were shaking. "What I did, was a really dick move. I shouldn't have changed it without asking you guys, and I definitely shouldn't have left" Denise were rubbing the puke of Lily's hear with a hoodie. "I let you guys down, and I'm really sorry" She really wanted them to say something. She bit her tongue, ugh, she couldn't believe she was saying this.
"And Aubrey, I you will have me, I want back in"
Aubrey looked down, the girls looked at her with hope. Beca nodded and took a chair, pulling it with her. "Aubrey" Amy whispered. Beca stopped and looked at Aubrey innocent. Aubrey looked down quickly. Beca turned around and walked again.
"Wait" Aubrey said.
Beca grinned, she removed the stupid grin from her face. "Thank you. That would've been embarrassing" She said and walked quickly back.
Jesse and Benji walked back to their dorm.
"I own you, Jesse" Benji smiled.
"Nah, you deserve it" Jesse patted Benji on the shoulder.
He looked at his phone, frowning.
"What's up, Jesse?" Benji scowled.
"Just Beca" He sighed.
"You're not angry at her" Benji narrowed his eyes.
"I just… want her to show the best out of herself," Jesse said.
"By manipulating her?"
"I'm not manipulating her! She manipulated me first!" He defended himself.
"Well, you are provoking her"
"Benji, seriously, stop!" Jesse laughed.
"Good night, man" Benji scoffed.
