"Chlo?" She asks me,
"Yeah, Becs?"
"Is there something wrong with me?"
"No, no, no, no. Don't you ever think that. Look at me, Beca Mitchell, you are perfect!" I say, and lean forwards to give her a kiss on the lips (non-romantically) to prove my point, but it seems she has other ideas. The kiss deepens. I break apart. "Wait, you're straight. You're in love with Jesse."
She sighs. "I was going to break up with him, anyway."
I frown. "Why?"
"I was in love with someone else." She says, looking me in the eye.
"Who?" I'm almost certain, but I can't be wrong.
"You, Chlo."
I smile, and kiss her again. "Are you ready to go back in?"
She nods, and we walk inside.
Amy was on stage, finishing her song. I looped my arm around Beca's shoulders. I shot Jesse a murderous glare. He looked unrepentant. He also looked pleased with himself, and had one arm around Mary-Eloise.
All together now!
Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down.
"Any of you skinny bitches ready to top that?" Then Beca does something I don't expect. She steps forward "I'll do it." Amy gives her the mic. I discreetly give her a kiss on the cheek "good luck." I whisper.
She steps up to the mic. "This goes out to Jesse, and Chloe. Jesse, the bits about you aren't hard to identify. Just look for anything insulting. This is According To You by Orianthi."

When the guitar solo came on Beca started playing air guitar. I couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't the miming. She genuinely didn't know she was doing it. I could feel everyone's eyes on me. Like I cared.
I need to feel appreciated,
Like I'm not hated. oh no
Why can't you see me through her eyes?
It's too bad you're making me decide
But according to me
You're stupid,
You're useless,
You can't do anything right.

Beca jumps off stage, and is about to make her way over to me, but Jesse stops her. He speaks to her. Beca flushes and punches him in the face. I can almost hear what she's saying.
I can pick up a few words. Something about "Bastard... Cheating... Trust...Respect... Chloe... Fuck... Hell" Then she makes her way over to me, and we kiss, to the sound of whistles and cat calls.
"Wanna get outta here?" I ask.
She nods, and we leave hand in hand.
