Chapter 37.

Jesse woke up, the one side of the bed was empty and Beca was nowhere to be found. It baffled him. He didn't know why and certainly didn't understand it. Jesse thought for sure that Beca was "the one" and she knew that - he told her, no showed her every day.

Yet, by the time the sun came up - she was gone. He couldn't figure out why she left before he woke. It wasn't a dream, she was there the night before.

The bed was empty and cold, not comfortable and warm when she was next to him. Each time was a disappointment. Truthfully it hurt.

He left the bed to shower and change. He barely had a cup of coffee and bagel. Something snapped in him and he found himself calling a cab and heading to Beca's place. When he arrived he knocked furiously on the door. She opened the door, dressed in a white robe.

"Jesse?" She looked at him confused. "What are you doing here?" he rudely walked passed her using his foot to close the door.

"I could ask you the same thing" he voice was harsh.

"I'm sorry, what? I live here!" she raised her voice knowing the inevitable question was next.

"Why do you keep leaving? You're running away Beca." He held the bridge of his nose.

She looked down and avoided his gaze. He could sense the inner battle she was having.

Please Beca, tell me." He begs, cradling her face in his hands.

"Each night I get scare Jesse. You make me feel...things." She looked away as she began. "Things were pretty cool before we...you know...and now it's different, deeper." She walked across the floor feeling the anxiety. "I love you so much Jesse and I can't help but think what if…"

"Beca don't." He stepped closer and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Listen to me. I'm not going anywhere." He wrapped his hands around her tightly. Kissing the top of her head he whispered softly "Ever."

A weak smile appeared on her face as her eyes met his. "I just don't want to fuck this up."

"There's no way I would ever let that happen." He leant down and pressed his lips to hers.

Love takes time and he's willing to wait because she's worth it.
