Beca woke up of curtains waving on her face. She groaned and turned around, facing Jesse's chest. The last night, they and Jesse's parents talked the whole evening. Drinking champagne, while Christine got a poorly tasting light beer. After some few drinks, Jesse's typical, suburban mom turned to a tipsy, sarcastic woman, making Beca giggle. Jesse ran a hair through his brown tresses.
"Good morning" Beca whispered, meeting his dizzy eyes. As he opened his mouth, Beca scowled, turning around. "Breath, Jesse" She whined.

"It's the morning," He muttered with a husky voice.

"Still," Beca said looking at his desk. The desk had two brown shelves over it, filled up with cd's. She put her thumb on the first album, letting her thumb glide over the collection. Jesse picked up a grey t-shirt, smelling it. He shrugged and put it on. Beca stared at an album, picking it up. Jesse studied carefully with a smile. "Are you admiring my collection?" He asked softly, kissing her bare shoulder, tossing her sweater in her arm. "I watched this with my dad" Beca smiled, handing him the 1991 movie "Hook".

"When I was a kid of course" She frowned, justifying the shelf.

"A lot of grownups enjoys Robin Williams" He sighed, putting it back, using Beca's head as support. "Fuck off" Beca sighed, shoving his arm away.

"Alright" He laughed and grabbed her waist, waltzing her hips back and forward. Instead of turning around, Beca took a deep breath and leaned back against his chest.

"Not the response I was expecting" Jesse grimaced. Beca turned around, wrapping her arms around his shoulder. "We don't really do stuff like this, you know" Beca scowled, realizing she sounded like a 14 year old daydreamer.

Jesse frowned, "We haven't really had time for it, Bec" He whispered against her pale neck.

Hearing a door open, Beca stepped away. "Should we go downstairs?" Beca said awkwardly, rubbing her nose.

As they walked down, the smell of toasted bread and coffee got stronger. Beca got a little glimpse of Carol slur a butter lump on the slice of bread. "Morning, ma" Jesse said silently, kissing his mother's peach-coloured cheek.

"Good morning, Jesse" She said, responding with raising her cheek. Beca smiled and sat down next to Christine who was focused on her laptop. She tapped aggressively, in the speed of light.

"What's up ...Chrissy" Beca cringed as she called her "Chrissy", although she had her acceptance.
"Call me Chrissy, it's alright" Christine had shrugged last evening, as she took a sip of her light beer with a disappointed scowl. Beca had been nodding with a ridiculous grin, but knowing how much she hated cheesy nicknames.

Chrissy's fingers stopped, she stared at Beca for a while through her brown vintage glasses. She shook her head, with her eyebrows shooting up. "I'm sorry, what?" She chuckled.

"Uh, you're like…. Really furious at your keyboard" Beca pointed her finger at the keyboard.

Chrissy bit her lip, looking at her mom and Jesse. They were slicing up fruits and chattering.

"I have this friend, bestie" Chrissy shot of, whispering. "She is with a guy right, this jock?"

Beca grinned like an idiot, enjoying the teenage drama she missed on because of her poorly done social attitude throughout high school. "This guy said I was hotter than her and I was like 'you're a skank' and he was like 'lol'….." She paused, trying to get back her breath.

"Anyway" She sighed, not paying attention to Beca's grin.

"He asked me for-" She lent closer to Beca, "Nudes" She whisper-yelled.

"That's it?" Beca raised an eyebrow.

Chrissy rolled her eyes, "He won't leave me alone until I do."

Beca dragged the computer towards her. Tightening her fist, she opened up the webcam.

"What are you doing?" Chrissy gulped, nervously. Beca gave her a scary smile, making Chrissy even more nervous. She took a close up picture of the crack on her fist and sent it to him.

Not even 10 seconds went before he responded.

"NICE, pusseeey ;] Just shaved? 3" Beca looked at her with big eyes, cracking up.

"God bless he is from a catholic family" Chrissy sighed with dreamy eyes.

"You two bonding?" Carol smirked, pouring juice in a glass, handing it to Jesse.

"Very" They said in unison, making Jesse crack a smile. He handed Beca a bowl of Captain Crunch.

"What? Really? Why aren't I allowed to eat Captain Crunch" Chrissy put her arms up in the air.

"You can, but when you do, you eat too much of it" Carol crossed her arms.

"Plus, it's for grownups" Beca shrugged, looking at Jesse, who was nodding eagerly.

"You two are like 4 years older than me" She deadpanned, closing her laptop. She pouted and walked out of the kitchen with her laptop. Jesse sat down next to Beca, watching her take a spoonful of cereal. "What were you guys talking about anyway?" Jesse frowned, curiously. Carol walked out with a basket, through the backdoor. Beca smirked, "A guy wanted nudes from her" She said, inserting the big spoon in her mouth. "What, who? Who does that-"

"Calm down, every girl has experienced that at least a few hundred times" Beca shrugged.

Jesse shut his mouth, with a serious face. "Have you?"

"Yes" Beca said, finally.

"When was last time?"

"Two days ago" Beca shrugged, walking to the sink with her bowl.

"Two days?" Jesse gasped. "-What do you usually answer with?"

"My bra strap" Beca shrugged her shoulders, dragging on her strap under the T-shirt. Jesse's jaw dropped. "They at least tried, gotta give 'em something" Beca smirked, walking back to Jesse. He took her in his arms, as she sat on his lap.

"Do you do it even when you're wearing the bras I bought to you?"

Beca looked down with a frown. Jesse sighed, only hearing the drain in the sink making a sound.

"Well, I haven't thought about it" Beca laughed, hearing how disappointed he was. "Well, if I did think about the fact you bought them, I wouldn't"

He sighed loudly and moved her hair away from her shoulder. "Tease" Jesse snorted, fiddling with her bra strap.

"Frat boy" Beca muttered.

"That's not even an insult- is that an insult?"

Beca spent the whole morning in Jesse's room, working on some mixes. Jesse used his time in the garden, helping his mother, redecorating the balcony. Beca got a glimpse of Jesse through the window. She showed a little smile, watching Jesse such his thumb after hitting it with a hammer. He looked up at Beca, noticing her smiling. "Come down" He mouthed. Beca shook her head and pulled the curtains.

"Shit" She heard someone mutter behind her. Beca turned around quickly, watching Chrissy drop something on the floor. "Hey" Beca breathed. Chrissy picked it up and waved it with a smirk. A condom, of course. "See ya" She grinned and ran out in her marine blue sneakers.

She watched Chrissy through the window, running off the porch to a truck filled up with girls. Beca heard the radio being turned on downstairs; she sighed and closed her laptop. She tied up her hair in a loose bun and walked down the stairs. Jesse sat with Finn in the couch listening to Fallout Boys. Beca ran to the radio, "Jesus" She muttered and turned it off.

"He liked it," Jesse protested, pulling Finn closer in his arms.

"I don't think so," Beca said, seeing Finn walk out of the couch, to the kitchen.

"We're going out" She tossed Jesse's jacket on his face while putting on her coat.

"Where" Jesse looked surprised at Beca while she fixed her make up.

"I don't know, somewhere you won't be whining," She said with a witty smile. "You're social; let's go to your friends"

"Bec, I don't think it's a good idea-"

"Too late" She said, taking the car keys out of his hands.

"Drive slower, we're close his house" Jesse said, placing his hand on Beca's thigh.

"Alright, grandma" Beca scoffed, slowing down.

"That's Brady," Jesse gasped discrete.

Beca stopped the car suddenly next to the blond guy. She rolled down the window, making awkward eye contact with him. "Hop in" She said, beaming at him.

"I know self-defence," He said silently. Jesse panicked and bent forward so he could get eye contact with Brody. "It's alright, she's not a criminal" He said quickly.

"Jesse?" Brody frowned. Beca felt the tension between them. She coughed, breaking the silence.

"Get in before I drive away," She whispered to him. He nodded eagerly and opened the door to the backseat. Shoving his awkward big cello case in, he sat down next to the cello.

"Beca looked at him in the mirror, he looked around. Jesse was fiddling with his phone.

"So.." Beca sighed, looking at Jesse. He gave her an innocent look and shrugged. Beca rolled her eyes, "Brody, do you play?" She said, eyeing the cello case.

He nodded and cleared his throat, "Yeah, that's why…I have a cello" He said, making the conversation more awkward.

"Cool" Beca said sarcastically. "So, what's cool in this town then?"

"Well, actually Brody and I…" Jesse looked at Brody, who gave him a hard look. Jesse looked back and chuckled; "We used to go this place, a coffee shop, kind of" Jesse smiled.

"Yeah, but we're not going there" Brody said, finally.

"Do you want to pick someone else up, Jesse?" Beca said in a high-pitched voice, feeling caught up in the drama.

"We should totally get Scott, would be cool for him to see you" Brody smiled, patting Jesse's shoulder. "Uh.."

"You know since-"

"Alright, we got it. Scott." Beca cut Brody off. She obviously knew something was going on between them, but she didn't want to know. Beca studied Brody through the mirror, he didn't look like a jock. Jesse looked like someone who used to hang with jocks. Brody wasn't any Casanova, he was a bit plump, his face had multiple pimples, and he had a resting bitch face, but he still looked kind. "Drive in there, will you, Bec" Jesse said. Beca drove in a silent alley, kids playing soccer outside they house. She parked outside the house Jesse pointed on, a small blue house.

A tall guy with black hair and glasses came out. He looked at Beca strangely, as she waved. She looked at Jesse surprised and jogged to the car. Brody opened the door, opposite his side. "Get in, it's a reunion" He said sarcastically.

"His sarcasm turns me on" Beca whispered to Jesse, teasing.

"Stop" Jesse mouthed, frightened.

"Thank you" Brody smiled.

"You're welcome," Beca turned around and shook his hand, "Beca, by the way" She smiled.

She looked at Scott who sat in with a laptop bag, confused. "Hi" Beca smiled completely.

He nodded slowly, and then looked at Brody.

After sitting in the car, eating ramen in silence. Beca looked at the two in the backseat, exchanging looks. Beca sighed and opened Jesse's door. "Out" She pushed his shoulder.

"Why?" He muttered, slurping. Beca raised an eyebrow, threatening. He nodded quickly and walked out of the car. Beca looked at the two in the backseats, giving them the same look. They looked at each other and walked immediately out of the car. "How many times an hour does the bus go?" Beca said, looking at the clock. "I don't know, " Brody mumbled. "Every third..fourth, maybe." He shrugged his shoulders.

"Great," Beca closed the doors. "Now find out of it," She shouted and started the car. She locked the doors before they had the chance to get back in. "Pussy" Beca mouthed to Jesse disappointed and drove off.

When she arrived to the Swansons', Carol was sitting in the porch with Jeff.

"Hi Beca," She smiled, as Beca stepped out of the car.

"Hey," She mumbled, walking up the stairs to the porch.

"Where's Jesse?" Jeff frowned concerned.

"Oh, he's hanging with Brody and Scott," Jeff and Carol exchanged grimaced, "Really?"

"Yeah, we saw them as we were driving and they wanted to catch up" She shrugged innocently.

"So weird, they left off in a really tough spot" Carol sighed. Beca raised her eyebrows, "Oh, too bad"

"Yeah, they had planned to do something together after high school, so they didn't apply to college, but Jesse did without telling them"

"It's just community college" Beca shrugged, laughing.

"I guess he found out he wanted to go further in life, they just wasn't in the same page" Jeff shook his head and poured wine in his glass.

Beca looked confused, "All his other friends applied to college, so he probably was stuck in the middle"

"Too bad" Beca sighed. They nodded, with sad eyes. "I'll just go inside" She excused herself and walked in.

Beca looked at Finn, he looked so sad, even Beca could see that. As he saw Beca, he whined as he walked slowly to her. "Hey, you" She looked down at him, not having a clue what to do. She looked around, making sure nobody looked as she kneeled down and pulled him in her arms. He licked her hand, "Stop" Beca sighed. "That's actually not that bad," She muttered as he continued licking her hand.

"Thanks Paul" Jesse smiled, stepping of the bus.

"Anytime" The old man said before closing the doors. He looked at his car with disgust, how mad he was at Beca couldn't even be described. Chrissy walked out of a car, Jesse looked at her with a hard look. Someone in the car rolled the window down, kissing her goodbye. Jesse shook his head and kept walking, "Hey" Chrissy yelled. As Jesse turned to her, she kicked him in the leg and laughed.

"Fuck off Chrissy" He muttered.

"Nah" She laughed and ran up to the porch. Walking in, she saw Beca laying in the couch with Finn in her arms. "Which Kardashian is your favourite?" She whispered in the dog's ear.

"Hi Beca" Chrissy snorted, hearing Beca's soft whispering.

"Hi" she smiled without taking her eyes away from the TV. "You have any idea why Jesse is so mad?" She sat down next to Beca. "No idea" Beca shrugged.

"He doesn't enjoy anything anymore, he just lays on the floor" Chrissy sighed, rubbing Finn behind his ear. "All he does is whine, it's just time to let go of him"

Beca stared at her, "How do you know when?" Beca said quietly after some seconds.

"When he doesn't enjoy his favourite things, I guess" She shrugged. Jesse stormed in and took of his coat, don't bothering to hang it up.

"Did you guys have fun" Beca smiled. Jesse didn't say anything, he just went upstairs.

"He's furious" Chrissy whispered. "Well, shit" Beca muttered, tossing off her blanket.

She jogged upstairs after Jesse, "Jesse?" She shouted, seeing him slam the bedroom door. She looked at the door handle, taking a deep breath. She pulled the door handle, opening the door slowly, "Jesse?" She repeated, softly.

"Shouldn't have done that, Bec" Jesse sighed, staring out of the window.

"Did you even try to make up?" Beca scoffed.

"No, you don't understand, alright?" He shouted with a horrible look, Beca took a step back. "We have a past-"

"You never told me about it" She said, slowly, trying to keep her voice down.

"That's because I was ashamed of it, you should respect that" He whined.

"Really?" Beca raised an eyebrow. "You're the one always walking into my problems, pressuring me to solve them" She snapped at him.

"Yeah, but not by driving off with your car-"

"Guys!" Chrissy yelled from the living room.

"Not now" Jesse yelled. Beca looked at Jesse with big, furious eyes.

"It's Finn" She screamed, desperately.

The car ride was silent and awkward, and frightening. Jesse was having Finn in his lap, while cuddling with him, telling Finn it was all going to be alright.

Beca didn't want to stare, but it was a rare sight, and she didn't know what to say. It was heart-breaking.

Chrissy and Beca was sitting in the waiting room, while Jesse and his mom was talking to the vet with Finn, laying on the table.

"Dad is also here pretty soon" Chrissy said with a husky voice, looking down at her phone. "It was going to happen anyway, it was scheduled on Monday and everything-" She stopped, breaking down in tears. "Hey, don't say that" Beca said, rubbing Christine's shoulder. Was she even saying the right things? She didn't even know what she was saying for the moment, it was all going so fast. Even though Beca only spent some hours with Finn, she completely fell in love with him. No wonder the family was so sad.

Jeff came in, hurrying. "Chrissy, you alright?" He said, taking her in a big hug. Beca looked down, feeling him look at her. The door opened, Carol looked at Chrissy devastated, "Come" She said fast, gesturing them to come in. She looked at Beca, welcoming her. "Go" Beca said with a sorry look, seeing Carol's eye watering. Carol gave her a sweet smile before closing the door, even though how sad she was. Beca could see the family through the transparent panel. Jesse whispered something in Finn's ear after the others stroke him and said goodbye. Jesse walked in the corner of the room, looking down. The vet took up a needle, inserting it in Finn, making Chrissy sob harder. Jesse looked over his shoulder, eyeing Beca.

She turned around closed her eye, feeling a small tear fall down.
