Jesse
I knock on Beca's door. I'm shocked to see Stacie answer it. I notice how she only opens it wide enough for her to stand in it, blocking me from seeing inside.
"Is Beca here?" I ask, attempting to see around her.
"Why do you want her?" She asks defensively.
"I wanted to know if she wanted to hang out some since we haven't in a while." She opens her mouth, probably to say Beca doesn't want to or something, but a voice from inside the room speaks up.
"Let him in Stace. He might be able to help us figure out what to do." I hear the struggle in Beca's voice and I quickly rush in when Stacie opens the door enough. I'm shock to see Beca curled up on her bed, her mascara and eye shadow running slightly down her cheeks.
"Oh my god Becs! What happened?" I say. She looks away sadly.
"I messed up, Jesse. Big time." She answers. I sit down next to her on her bed. Stacie sits a little farther away.
"What happened?" I ask again. She sits against the wall and I follow suit.
"Chloe confessed she had a crush on me..." She starts.
"I knew it!" I exclaim. "She was way too touchy." Beca and Stacie glare at me. "Sorry." I apologize sheepishly.
"I was uncomfortable hanging out with her after she confessed. She asked me if I wanted a sleepover, and I didn't want to be rude and just say no, so I lied. And um..." Beca pauses. "It grew. And I ended up lying for a few days. And now she's distant. Always has stuff going on when I ask her if she wants to hangout." We sit in silence for a bit, then Beca speaks up. "What should I do? I miss her." I sigh.
"Keep asking her for a sleepover. She can't always be busy. And if that is what made her distant, then she probably won't lie to you and make something up. She knows how it feels." I suggest. I see Beca's eyes grow sad at the mention of what she did. "And if we have to, we can ask Aubrey to get her to accept. Then, while you guys are hanging out, apologize to her. I think you have enough regret built up for it to be sincere." I stay quiet while the two women think the simple plan over.
"Thank you Jesse. I owe you if this works." Beca says as she hugs me. "I'm sorry things didn't work between us. But we're better as friends." She whispers into my shoulder.
"Way better." I agree. She chuckles a bit and pulls away, wiping her eyes. She sniffles some.
"Let's call her. Stacie suggests. Beca nods and gets her phone. She scrolls through her contacts and hesitates a little. I grab her phone from her and hit call. Putting the call on speaker I set it in the middle of the bed. We all stare at it as it rings. Our excitement starts to dwindle as it keeps ringing. Beca starts reaching to end the call when the ringing stops and we heard a bit of static.
"Hello?" Chloe says. I see Beca hesitate again then she gains a determined glint in her eye.
"Hey, Chlo." She says. "I was wondering if you'd like to have a sleepover sometime? Kimmy Jin moved out of the dorm so we can have it here... If you want to." Chloe doesn't reply, but soon we hear shuffling.
"Aubrey! Give it back!" We hear her yell.
"She'll be there Friday." Aubrey states. There's some more shuffling.
"I guess I'll be there Friday." Chloe sighs. I see Beca smile widely.
"Great! See you then!"
