For Good: Chapter 2
Beca and Jesse are walking towards the basketball field nearby the apartment. They decided to play for a bit to just get some stress out of their systems. They play in relative silence for about an hour.
"That was a foul bro." Beca shouts at Jesse when he makes an obvious mistake.
"Sorry Becs, but we're just having fun." He smugly shouts back.
Beca rolls her eyes and jogs over to the bench to drink some water.
"Are you going to tell me how you're really feeling?"
Jesse takes a seat next to Beca.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Jesse shakes his head knowing his cousin too well.
"You want to give up on the love of your life and you want me to believe that you're alright?"
Beca scoffs. "What do you want me to say? I've tried for over a year to get her to talk to me. I call her 3 times a week, send her letters, emails and spend every free moment I have outside her door. I give her space to go to the hospital and university because I don't want her to miss any classes. I'm out of options Jesse." Beca sighs. "When she saw me today she wanted to run, I saw it in her eyes. I love her so much but if it's a life without me she want, that's what I'll give her."
Jesse wraps a protective arm around Beca.
"Just don't give up entirely, keep some hope somewhere inside." He says while rubbing her shoulder.
"What if she does want to talk? We somehow manage to get past what happened this last year? She hurt me bad, and I'm not sure I can just go back to how things were. I … I don't know if I can trust her, you know?" Beca stares at the ground while she talks.
"No one wants you to forget about the past year Becs, you both went through so much and that has to count for something." Jesse tries to stay positive but the broken look on his cousin's face makes his heart ache.
"Will she go to LA?" Beca asks carefully.
"She hasn't decided yet. Everyone tells her to go, family, friends and the doctors." Jesse explains.
"I'm the reason why she's considering not to go isn't it?" Beca sighs. "If you get a chance tell her that the chances of us actually seeing each other in LA are one in a million. She shouldn't give up on her dream because of me, she is an amazing doctor already and she hasn't even finished her education yet. She has to go."
Beca is choking back tears while talking. "I have to go, tomorrow is going to be a long day." Beca gets up before she starts crying.
"See you tomorrow Becs." Jesse shouts but doesn't get a reaction from his cousin.
Jesse walks back home thinking about the entire situation. When Chloe broke up with Beca people were shocked for sure but over time everyone just got annoyed with Chloe. She wouldn't talk to anyone and threw herself into her schoolwork. Every time anyone would mention the DJ she would just sit there in silence or walk away, it depended if she was asked questions about what happened or not.
Once Aubrey walked into Chloe's bedroom to find something to wear, when she opened the closet she found a box with a off Beca's stuff and all the letters she had sent the redhead. A second box contained out cuts from magazines and articles she printed out. Aubrey knew that her best friend still loved the DJ but something was keeping her from admitting it again. When Aubrey told Jesse about her discovery they both formed a new bit of hope for their two friends.
"Hey." Jesse sounds tired when he greets the two girls in the living room.
"Everything alright?" Aubrey asks worriedly.
Jesse looks at Chloe and doesn't know if he should talk or not.
"Beca is giving up and it breaks my heart to see her like this." He blurts out, shocking Chloe the most.
"She told me that you should go to LA, the chances of you two meeting are one in a million. She cares about your future and doesn't care about the pain her heart. She would do anything for you Chloe, even if you want nothing to do with her."
Jesse doesn't really raise his voice or get angry but he does show the redhead that he has enough of this situation. "If you don't talk to her tonight or at least tomorrow you will lose her forever and she might not come back again." Jesse takes a deep breath. "I'm going to bed, we have to be at the church at 11."
Aubrey follows Jesse with her eyes before turning to face Chloe. "He's right you know? Beca could have given up over a year ago, and honestly I'm surprised she held on this long. We all know how she is with relationships. Think about that for a while."
Aubrey gets up from the couch and follows Jesse to the bedroom leaving Chloe alone with her thoughts.

"Chloe can you go check on Amy? And make sure all the bridesmaids are present?"
Sylvia is getting everyone ready, and doing some last minute checkups.
"Sure, see you inside." Chloe says and goes to the other room.
"Everyone is here right?"
Fat Amy nods. "Yeah, all the skinny bitches are here."
Chloe smiles. "You look beautiful Amy."
The fat Australian gets up from her chair. "I know red, that's the point isn't it."
Chloe bursts out in laughter. "Yes Amy, that is indeed correct."
"It's time, are you ready sweetheart?"
Amy's dad walks into the room.
"Yes dad, we're all ready to go."
All the bridesmaids, including Chloe go to their designated places. Fat Amy's sister is the maid of honor and finishes of the line right before Amy.
"Lets do this you crazy bitches."
Amy gets everyone excited before the doors open to reveal James standing at the end of the aisle waiting for his bride to be.
Chloe had agreed on being a bridesmaid, because for starters it's her brother's wedding, and second Amy practically begged her. It didn't take her long to be convinced.
While walking down the aisle with the rest of the bridesmaids it doesn't take Chloe long to spot Beca. Chloe takes in the DJ's features, she has lost a lot of weight and looks extremely tired. But even then it doesn't stop her for plastering a genuine smile on her face.
"I missed that smile so much." Chloe thinks to herself but quickly shakes the thought. She shouldn't be thinking like that, especially since she has ignored the brunette ever since she broke with her.
Chloe starts to feel guilty, she never gave Beca a chance to explain but what was there to explain. Why give her a chance to find a suitable lie to tell her. Why Beca kept coming back was beyond the redhead but the fact that Beca is finally giving up should make her happy, right? But why does it hurt so much?
Chloe gets pulled out of her thought when the priest speaks up.
"James, your vows."
James clears his throat. "Amy, you are my best friend. I promise to laugh with you, cry with you, and grow with you. I will love you when we are together and when we are apart. I promise to support your dreams and to respect our differences, and to love you and be by your side through all the days and nights of our lives. You're the best thing that happened to me in my life. Since the moment you walked into my life I knew you were the one I wanted to spend the rest with."
Tears are spilling from Amy's eyes and she quickly wipes them away when it's her time to talk. "Mine is pretty short actually but is does show how much I love you. James, I love you more than I love Nutella and you know how much I love Nutella."
The room laughs loudly together with James and Amy, because nothing could be more true.
"Now, James, do you take Amy to be your lawfully wedded wife, to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"Amy, do you take James to be your lawfully wedded husband to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health and forsaking all others, be faithful only to him so long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"You may kiss the bride."
There are no dry eyes in the church when James pulls Fat Amy close to kiss her. With loud whistles and cheers they are being followed outside to take the pictures.
"Yo Shawshank, get your butt up here for the picture." Fat Amy shouts at Beca who is trying to hide away in the big crowd.
With a huff the brunette joins the families. She tries to stand in the back but gets pushed to the front. As if it wasn't bad enough for her she ends up next to Chloe.
"Alright everyone, smile." The camera man shouts at the group before snapping a few pictures.
When that is done Beca congratulates Fat Amy and James before rushing to the venue. As an excuse she said she needed to check if the equipment was still working.
The rest follows slowly, not being in a rush at all.

The party is going hard.
Only an hour in. The waiters keep bringing food and drinks. People are dancing and having fun.
Beca is standing in a corner of the room with a coke in her hand.
"Don't you need something stronger to have some fun?"
A pretty blonde walks up to Beca.
"I would but I'm not 21 yet and I don't like taking risks lately."
The blonde smiles. "One drink won't kill you though."
Beca chuckles. "If a picture of me drinking while underage leaks to the wrong people I can get into a lot of trouble."
The blonde's eyes widen when she realizes who she's talking to. "Oh god, you're DJ-Mitch. I love your work it's amazing."
Beca rolls her eyes with a smile. "Yeah, thanks."
The woman seems a bit uncomfortable now that she knows who she's talking to.
"Hey relax, I'm a normal person just like you. Hmmm wait, let's start over. Hi, I'm Beca." The brunette sticks out her hand for the blonde to shake.
"I'm Maria." The blonde accepts the hand and shakes it.
About an hour later Jesse walks up to Beca and asks her for a dance.
"Sorry to steal her away."
Maria laughs. "No problem, my boyfriend is waiting for me at our table so I should get back to him."
With a wave she disappears from their sight.
"Come on bro, do you really want to make me dance?" Beca whines.
"Yes, so stop complaining." He pulls Beca to the dance floor. They dance for a while and go back to the sideline.
"When are you leaving?"
Beca looks at Jesse. "Tonight, after the party." Beca says determined. "Anyway, we're here to have a good time so why don't you find your pretty girlfriend and dance with her." Beca tries to push Jesse but he doesn't budge.
"And what will you do?" Beca shrugs.
"I was thinking of going to get some air. I found a nice spot in the woods the other day."
Jesse shakes his head. "Don't go outside, there's a big storm coming up."
Beca laughs. "Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it."
Jesse sighs because he knows there's no point in arguing. "Be careful, alright."
Beca gives him a thumbs up before walking out the door.
