A/N IM SO SORRY. I lost this chapter at least a millionth time and I'm so lazy, but here I am.
*Beca's P.O.V*
Friday afternoon.
I've spent the day with my ear buds. I'm honestly kind of annoyed with Chloe for forcing me to go to the Riff Off and for pushing things with Jesse. I avoided her and Stacie in school, knowing that if I talked to them, they would realize what's going on and possibly tell it to Jesse, and I don't need that.
I was coming home from school, about to open my front door when I noticed Chloe's car parked outside the house, Oh shit. I opened the door to found two girls sitting in the living waiting for me. "You're welcome." My dad said in my ear brushing past me and leaving the house.
"You thought you could avoid us for your whole life?" Chloe said standing up. "Are you like this because of the Riff Off and the prom? Because we won't force you to go with Jesse, at least not me." Stacie said pointing to Chloe. "I'll just force you to go." She continued with a smile.
"That thing is in 5 days." I said.
"Yes, you only have 5 days to get a date, a dress and… that's all." Chloe said counting with her fingers. "Oh big deal." I said sarcastically walking to the kitchen, they following me behind. "You're not going with Sebastian, aren't you?" Chloe said raising an eyebrow. "What's the problem if I do?" I said jumping onto the counter. "HE'S A WOMANIZER, BECA." Stacie said. "I can smell it."
"And if you're forcing me to go, who do you expect me to take if I only have him?" They looked at each other and said "Jesse." Like if it was obvious. "He already has a girl and he's, or was, my friend."
"And what's Sebastian, your boyfriend? Because you don't say that." Stacie said gaining a nod from Chloe. "If he's your friend. Don't you think it's time to talk to Jesse?" Stacie asked questionably. Maybe she was right, I don't have the right to be mad at him for being in love with other, I can't control him. "Beca," Chloe said in a sincere tone getting closer to me. "we all can see that what you feel for Sebastian isn't what you want. He doesn't make you smile like Jesse does; he's not supportive with you."
"Think about it." Stacie said leaving the kitchen. "Remember that friends go to dances together too."
"Hope we'll see you tonight, Becs." Chloe said. "I can pick you up."
"Sebastian will." I said looking down at my feet avoiding her gaze.
They both left, leaving me confused. The worst thing is that they're right, I have to make things right with Jesse and explain things to Sebastian. Tonight, at the Riff Off.
*Later that day*
I was outside in my porch waiting for Sebastian. I thought a lot on the way I had to tell him.
"Ready to go?" I hear Sebastian's voice said. I raised my gaze from my phone and nodded with a smile. He hugged me by the shoulders while we walked in silence. That gave me time to realize, even more, that I'm happy with Sebastian, but not as much as I was with Jesse when we used to hang out.
"Are we going by bus?" I asked since I haven't seen his car. "Nope" He said dropping the P. "My car is with a mechanic so I grabbed my cousin's car. It's parked around the corner." I nodded.
When we finally got to his car, we got in and he started driving. Once we stopped in a red traffic light, he took out his iPhone, I can't explain how nervous that makes me. It gives me insecurity and bad memories. "Please put that down until we get there." I asked. "Its okay babe, I always do it and I'm fine." He then looked at me and let go of the steering wheel. "Don't do that. He laughed and took it again luckily saving us from a crash against a wall. He took again his phone unblocking it and stepped on the gas pedal, with his phone still in his hand. He didn't notice the taxi coming from the left. "Sebastian." I said warningly. "In a minute." He said without raising his gaze.
The taxi honked, but when it did. It was too late. The taxi destroyed the right side of the car where I was. I hardly remember feeling a hard impact and glass flying to everywhere, and then nothing. All black. I could hear some screams in the background and part of my body getting colder by the minute. Something warm ran all over my face. It felt like an eternity, I could hear but it got harder to open my eyes or talk. The pain I was feeling was overwhelming. But I felt it for a short time.
*Jesse's P.O.V*
I was talking with Chloe, more like she was talking to me. She told me that Beca promised she was going to come but she wasn't here yet. The Riff Off was about to start and Sebastian wasn't here either. "Maybe they're just having sex." Stacie said and Chloe slapped her arm. "They're not." Chloe said. "I know, it was a joke. Like if Beca was capable of having sex with a douche like him." Stacie said rolling her eyes.
"I don't know if she's going to come." Chloe said sadly. "I think Sebastian it's going to convince her, he said he'll take her here."
"WHAT?!" Both girls looked at me like if I was crazy. "Oh my god, it's something wrong?" Chloe asked scared. "Sebastian's car broke. He is going on the bus, the line 56. You know what line is it, right?" Chloe nodded slowly and her nod became a shook. "Imagine this, an old line of busses, late at night with a girl that is…" Suddenly, my phone started buzzing. I took it out and saw a text from Sebastian.
From: Sebastian
9:34PM
-A taxi crushed my car and Beca was in there, you' re the only one I know who knows her. Please come to the hospital as fast as you can and call her dad.
"It's Beca." I said slowly. Chloe seemed surprised, at this moment she didn't know if it was something good or not. "What says?" She asked. I started scrolling down the text until I saw a picture attached to it. My heart stopped and fell to my stomach. It was a car flipped over and some firemen trying to pull a body. "She's in the hospital." I almost whispered. Chloe said looking for Stacie, since she was nowhere to be found.
I started running toward my car and went to the hospital as fast as I could. I asked where she was and they told me her room. I ran to the room 056 to find a doctor outside talking to Sebastian who only had some bruises and a cut above his eyes. His face lightened a bit when he saw me. "Dude." He said hugging me, "I'm so sorry, I don't know what I did." I was still confused with what happened. "What. How happened?" He shrugged his shoulders and looked down to the floor. "She's in there?" He nodded.
The person that was in the bed wasn't Beca, that person looked so fragile, paler than Beca, that person was hurt, in the outside this time; it wasn't the Beca I knew. It took me some seconds to realize that it was Beca. I left the room and saw the doctor "How's she?" I asked the doctor that was there. "Unconscious. Lost a lot of blood and a broken rib…" We heard some fast steps coming behind us, it was the Bellas with Stacie and Chloe. "What happened?" Stacie asked.
"A car impact by the passenger side, where your friend was." A few gasps were heard from them. "And what's her state?" Chloe asked. "She's unconscious. She hit her head pretty hard, which means she has a close head injury-"
"Something got through her skull?" Fat amy asked cutting the doctor, who shook his head in no. "A closed head injury means you received a hard blow to the head from striking an object, but the object did not break the skull. Some head injuries result in prolonged or irreversible brain damage. This may occur as a result of bleeding inside the brain or forces that damage the brain directly. These more serious head injuries may cause coma, chronic headache, Loss or change in sensation, hearing, vision, taste or smell, Paralysis or Seizures." Most of the girls were crying. The thought of Beca with one of those injuries killed them.
"But again, I don't think she's going to have head damage." The doctor said trying to cheer the girls. "Does she have anything else?" CR asked. "Well, she broke her right rib and lost a lot of blood. Also, the impact sprained her ankle and damaged in a minor level her wrist. We're waiting for her to wake up to see if her signals get better or worse."
"Thanks." Chloe said. I've never saw Chloe like that, the few times I saw her she was all happiness and now she looks destroyed. "Did you call her father?" She asked looking at me. "No, I forgot. I will now."
I called Mr. Mitchell and waited until he picked up. It rung twice until he accepted the call.
"Who's this?" Mr. Mitchell asked.
"Hi sir. I'm Jesse Swanson and hum, I'm one of Beca's friend." I heard him sighed like if he was annoyed. "What did she do now?"
"She actually did nothing." I had no idea how to drop this bomb to him. "She's in…" I took a deep breath and let it out. "The hospital."
"What?" He said slowly like if he couldn't believe it.
"She was in the car and it crashed." I tried to explain
"You WHERE THE ONE DRIVING?!" He started yelling and freaking out.
"No, sir. The guy who was with her was the douche who caused this."
He was breathing fast and I could hear noises of some keys in the background. "Thanks son. I'll be there in a minute." And hung up.
