Sunday 15th May
Adam's POV
7 am
Waking up is one of the hardest things for a Mitchell to do. I swear it is in our genes because neither me nor Beca like mornings. But if I get to wake up like this every morning for the rest of my life then I have no problem. I quickly turned off my alarm and turned back to the beauty that was my girlfriend lying beside me; she moved in her sleep and hugged my waist tighter. I could hear her light steady breathing a telltale sign that she was asleep. I placed a light kiss on the top of her head,
"Jesus, Jessica how did I get so lucky with you?" I whispered not to wake her. I saw her smile and she groggily replied
"I believe you told me that I had beautiful eyes"
"I thought you were sleeping"
"I kind of was, then your alarm went off and woke me up, so here we are" she said shuffling so she was sitting up next to me "It's okay Adam I wanted to get up anyway I wanted to go to the supermarket while you were at work" she placed a light kiss on my lips before getting out of bed, "come on up and at 'em!" She walked around to my side of the bed and pulled me up.
"Right I'm going to jump in the shower okay, I'll be quick so you can get one too before I leave" I kissed the top of her head and walked towards our en suite bathroom.
20 minutes later
I walked back into the bedroom after showering and a quick shave, I didn't think I would have to be too smart for working at the music store. I got dressed quickly shoving on my jeans, a top, a hoodie and my vans. I walked into the kitchen confused that Jessica was nowhere to be found.
"Jess!" I waited quietly for a reply, but there was nothing to be heard. Okay. What was going on? I pulled out my phone and hit her contact; the dial tone ran a few times before going through to voicemail
"Hey you reached Jessica sorry I can't pick up your call right now but leave a message or send me a text and I'll get back to you"
"Hey Jess just a quick question, where are you cause I-" I stopped and turned off my phone as Jessica walked through the door with three grocery bags in her arms. I ran forward and closed the door before taking two of the bags "I just called you; I got kinda freaked out when you weren't here"
"Sorry I guess I should have left a note, I just know that you are a total girl when it comes to showering and take forever and I just realized that we didn't have anything for breakfast so I quickly went to the corner store down the street" she said place her bag on the counter "but I'm back now and all in one piece"
"Good" I said looking down at her and wrapped her up in a hug "So what has my amazing girlfriend returned home from her journey with for breakfast?"
"Really? Journey? Adam I walked about 100 metres down the street it was hardly the road to El Dorado, and pancakes of course!" She smiled and danced about with the packet of pancakes, I couldn't help but smile.
9am
"Hey Adam, nine on the dot that's what I like to see, so if you follow me." Phil said coming round to the front of the desk, giving me a pat on the back and leading the way to the storage room.
"I know this sucks but since my guy left us out of the blue I have been really short staffed and no one has had the time to do this" he led me through to the storage room for records and CDs.
"Wow I can see that" I looked around at the room stacked high with boxes of unpacked goods.
"Look Adam thanks for doing this for me, I know it isn't the best job in the world but it pays right" he said with a sorry smile
"Seriously Phil, it's no major deal I'm happy to be here. I just find the shop so relaxing, I mean come on me and Beca basically lived here during our teens"
"That you did!" He called as he left the room. I took a deep breath and started to get to work, maybe this would be as easy as I thought.
Saturday 21st May
Stacie's POV
Donald and I walked up to the dance studio's reception, we had got the job and today was our first day, before we could say a word to the receptionist we got tapped on the shoulder, we both spun around to be met with the woman that was here when we applied for the job
"Stacie, Donald, you made it!" She exclaimed cheerily, I really wanted to make a sarcastic reply-damn you Mitchell-I managed to contain myself and just smile and grab Donald's hand "Okay if you just follow me" She motioned to her left and we followed her down the hallway "This class is only a small one, 8 kids but they are all great and excited to see who they're new hip hop teachers will be" I leaned over to Donald's ear
"Beca would strangle this woman if she saw how overly happy she was" I whispered causing him to choke down a laugh, she guided us through the doors and our eyes searched the studio, It wasn't huge but it was still quite big for a class of 8 kids, my eyes landed on the group of kids that were sitting on the floor, in the middle of the room with their backs facing us
"Okay class!" The woman from our left clapped her hands twice causing the kids to snap their heads around "Here are your new teachers, Stacie and Donald, they were both part of an acappella group called the-" she started but the kids scrambled to their feet and cut her off
"The Barden Majors!" they all exclaimed, I leaned over to Donald's ear
"What's going on?" I whispered
"The ICCA's were televised maybe they saw us, I don't know" he whispered back, the kids ran up to us and stood in front of us, looking up excitedly
"Okay I'll let you all get to know each other, the class ends at 12, enjoy yourselves" the woman said before slipping out the door. Donald and I crouched down to their height
"Hey, I'm-" I was about to introduce myself but they cut me off
"Stacie!" the girl with blonde hair that was tied up into a messy bun, okay shits getting a little weird "We know, we saw you guys on TV at the ICCA's"
"I'm Do-" Donald also got cut off but this time by the taller boy with styled blonde hair
"Donald, the dude that can beat box and rap" he said coolly and fist bumped Donald, we stood back up and made our way to the centre of the room
"Okay guys let's just sit down and get to know each other!" I called, dropping to my knees "That's if you don't know everything about us already" I muttered as I scratched the back of my neck "Okay let's just go round and introduce ourselves, oh wait first off, what age are you all?" I asked
"We're all 12" the same blonde girl said "I'm Abigail but I get called Abby" she said and look at the person on her right
"I'm Tony" The short dark haired boy said
"I'm Morgan" The light brown-haired girl said
"I'm Ryan" said the blonde boy with styled hair that was close to Donald's but shorter
"I'm Molly" The red-head girl said
"Samantha but get called Sammy" The dark blonde haired girl said
"I'm John" Said the red-headed boy
"And I'm Arthur, you guys were amazing at the ICCA's I watched them every year you were in them, the mash ups you sung were awesome" The rather hyper, black haired boy said
"Well you would have to thank our friend Beca for the mash ups she made them all" I laughed
"Beca, Beca as in-" Morgan started excitedly but I cut her off
"The short one" God Beca would kill me for this but she isn't here so may as well have my fun "you guys are all taller than her" okay even I know I'm pushing it now, they all laughed along anyway. I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my photos until I came across a photo of the whole group together with our arms around each other on the stage at our first ICCA's "Here look this was in 2012" I said, handing Abby the phone and they all gathered around her
"When I saw your guys awesome choreography you inspired me to become a dancer, and now I'm here and you guys are teaching me!" Arthur exclaimed, my eyes went wide, I had no idea we were inspiring anyone never mind 12 year olds "Oh and Donald, you made me want to teach myself to do a back flip but I still can't do it" He said, hanging his head
"I'll have to teach you at some point little man" Donald said, standing up and walking closer to the wall with the mirror, Donald positioned himself and successfully pulled off a back flip, causing the kids to applaud loudly except Ryan who stood up and walked up beside Donald
"Oh yeah?" Ryan challenged, doing a back flip himself but instantly going into another one, Donald crossed his arms and nodded in approval, the rest of us stood up and walked over to the two. Donald has always been a competitive one so he had to start showing off by doing a one handed handstand, I rolled my eyes as he jumped back to his feet, throwing his hoodie off to the side. Ryan was having none of it and did a cartwheel finishing in a round off.
"Right come on boys" I sighed, they both high-fived each other and Donald picked up his hoodie.
12pm
"Okay, guys, next time we will actually get started with dancing" I laughed and they all grabbed their stuff before running out the door, once they all had left, Donald wrapped his arms around my waist from behind
"You did great, babe" he murmured into my neck
"And you were as competitive as always...with a 12 year old, wait till I tell the rest of the guys" I rolled my eyes and turned around to face him
"I can always just tell Beca that you were joking about her height again" he challenged
"No biggy, I joke about her height all the time" I shrugged, smirking at him
"Well maybe this will stop you from saying anything" he leaned forward and I closed my eyes but they shot open once I realised that he had thrown me over his shoulder
"Hey, that wasn't fair" I whined as he carried me out of the studio
"Life ain't fair, Conrad" he countered
"You owe me" I groaned
"Do I, now?"
"Oh you sure do" He finally put me down
"Well I have a perfect way" he winked; I smirked and slipped my hand in his as we walked down the hallway.
Monday 23rd May
Beca's POV
We arrived outside LAPP radio station, that Luke had connections with and had somehow managed to land jobs for both Andy and I. As soon as we entered we were both shocked, this was definitely a step up from WBUJ. For start it was huge you could fit Luke's station in here about four times and I'm pretty sure there's even more, since it has like twenty doors. I looked at Andy who's face mirrored what I imagined mine to look like perfectly.
"Remind me when we leave the night tae give ma man a massive thank you present" he mumbled clearly still in shock, I walked up to the front desk.
"Hello I was wondering if you could help me, I'm Rebecca Mitchell and this is Andrew McArthur we have an ap-"
"hello how may I help you?" The receptionist said not looking up,
"I'm Rebecca Mitchell and thi-" I was once again cut off as she raised her index finger to signal for me to give her a minute.
"Hello how may I help you?...hello m'am excuse me"
"Oh sorry you're talking to me this time?" She nodded "hi my name is Rebecca Mitchell and this is Andrew McArthur, we have an appointment with Mr Dixon"
"Ah I see here, you are due in room three in five minutes, if you follow those stairs up and take a left at the top then a right at the end of the corridor, and the door is marked with a number three" I couldn't help but feel very patronised by this women. Maybe her clearly over rehearse speech was just that but it seemed so derogatory. Urrggg keep it together Beca no fights on the first day of work. We turned and started to walk towards the stairs
"That lassie needs to get that rod surgically removed from up her arse" Andy leaned in and whispered.
"I know I thought Aubrey was bad in College...jeeze let's hope they aren't all like that" We followed the lovely lady's instructions and soon found room three "So what do we do, do we wait for them or do knock?"
"Screw them let's just dae it" He stepped forward and knocked on the door, there was a shuffling on the other side of the door,
"A Miss Mitchell and Mr McArthur, I presume?"
"You would be correct sir" Andy extended his hand and shook hands with the man. "But please call me Andy, Mr Dixon"
"Okay Andy, but please call me Dix, I prefer Dix" I looked at Andy who just smiled and replied
"Ah so do I" his face had a smug look about it, I cocked my head at him and bit my lip to keep myself from laughing, luckily it looked like it flew right over the top of Dix.
"While we're on the subject please call me Beca, the last radio station I worked at my manager was convinced that my name was Becky, and he still calls me that."
"I was going to mention that Luke did introduce you as Becky so I somewhat was surprised there. Right shall I show you were you will be working?" We both nodded, I fought hard to keep my sarcasm at bay and not reply with something along the lines of ' no I don't want to see where we are going to be working, I'd much rather stand I the middle of the fucking hallway, seriously why do people ask stupid questions it's just a waste of time'. We walked into what looked like it was the archives of music itself, there where CDs, record and tapes everywhere and it looked like they had a very serious filling system. Wait why are we down here instead of heading to the booths?
"Ah here we are" no, no, no this isn't right, we weren't going to be- yes, yes we were going to be stuck staking CDs again. Well I guess you need to start at the bottom to work your way up.
Beca's POV
4:30pm
I opened the door of the apartment and sighed out of frustration as I swung the door open so hard, it hit off the wall
"What even?" Jesse asked, as he sat on the couch with his feet on the coffee table with his laptop on his lap, I closed the door behind me and made my way to the kitchen, tossing the keys in Jesse's general direction on the passing "What the hell?" He asked again, I groaned in response. I didn't feel like speaking just now, of course I was frustrated at the fact that I was stacking CD's again but at least I had a job and was getting money for it.
"Any luck?" I mumbled, walking back through to the living room
"No" he grunted "I can't believe this" he groaned, rubbing his hand over his face
"You know it's no good just sitting there doing nothing"
"I've been looking all day, it's not my fault my dream wasn't just handed to me on a platter like yours was" He mumbled turning his attention back to his laptop, I scoffed then he turned back to me and I stepped towards him
"Well you know what Jesse? Maybe I deserve to have something given to me after all the shit I've been through, the divorce, Anna, Dad marrying Sheila. And besides I think you'll find I gave up my dream so I could stay with you and be with you!" I yelled
"I never asked you to do that Beca!" He defended, placing his laptop to the side and standing up in front of me
"You wouldn't quit fucking moping if I didn't come back" I spat
"Well neither would you!" He countered
"I'm not even doing my dream job! I'm stacking fucking CD's again in a stupid ass radio station, if you actually had a job I would quit and find a better one" I walked backwards towards the door
"Why don't you just fuck off to LA like you have always dreamed!" He yelled, following me towards the door "Oh wait, I would sit here moping while live the FUCKING DREAM IN LA" He yelled his voice gradually getting louder
"FUCK YOU JESSE, FUCK YOU!" I yelled at the top of my lungs and slammed the door behind me, I ignored the looks from the people that had popped their heads out of the doors and I decided to take the stairs.
Jesse's POV
I leaned against the door and slid down so I was sitting with my back against it
"What the fuck did I just do?" I asked myself, I didn't mean anything I said but when Beca flips out I can't just sit there and take it but I always say the stupidest of things, I stood up and ran my fingers through my hair "Fuck!" I cursed under my breath; I walked through to the bathroom to take a shower to cool off. I've learnt over the years that when we fight we both need time to cool off before we talk to each other again, but at least we both know that whenever we fight we never mean the things we say.
First off before you go flip a bitch, how are you liking the couples in their apartments and stuff?
MWAHAHAHAHA THEIR PERFECT AIN'T SO PERFECT NOW!
aaaaaaand proceed to flip some bitches! go ahead
