Beca got home and dived onto her bed. The tears had stopped falling down her cheeks on the way home and now she just felt numb. She was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling when her younger sister came into her room with a bar of chocolate.
'I come baring gifts for my upset big sister'.
'I'm not upset silly' Beca tried to sound as strong as possible for her younger sister but her voice cracked at the end so there was no denying how she really felt.
Molly sat on the end of Beca's bed; she was silent for a moment before cautiously speaking.
'You can talk to me you know Bec'
Beca didn't reply, she just continued staring at her ceiling.
'I may be younger, but I might be able to help'.

Beca sat up, Molly edged onto the bed more so the two girls were sat opposite each other, Molly with her legs crossed on the bed and Beca with her knees pulled up to her chest, her back leaning against her headboard.
'I messed up'. Beca let the words out slowly, as if she was processing them herself whilst she was saying them.
'What happened'
'I let a boy think he liked me.'
'How do you know if he likes you, you're not in control of his brain'.
'He can't like me, well he shouldn't, I'm not good for him. I'm too messed up. I don't want to drag him into my issues'.
Molly stayed silent for a while, then continued to stare at Beca whilst she replied to her.
'Sometimes, it makes it easier to have someone to go through it with you Bec, maybe a little support from him could help. You know, fix you'.
She said the last part of the sentence with caution, monitoring Beca's face to be sure she didn't cause any insult, when Beca didn't reply Molly stood up and left the room, leaving the chocolate bar on Beca's bed.

Beca had never partaken in 'girl talk' before, but she figured this is how other girls figured out what they wanted, so she invited some of the girls over. It was 8pm and Chloe, Stacie, Amy and Jessica had piled into her medium sized room, Chloe and Amy sitting on the bed, Jessica on Beca's chair and Beca sat on the floor.
'Does this girl talk have anything to do with a certain boy you seem to be spending a lot of time with?' Chloe squealed out, far too happy in Beca's eyes for what she was going to be saying.
'I, erm, yeah. It does'
'Oh my god I knew it, has he asked you out?' Chloe shot back at an even higher octave than she was in the last sentence.
'Not exactly, well. He told me that he liked me and he tried to kiss me and he got upset when I told him we couldn't be together.'
'You kissed him at the party' Amy pitched in.
'Why did you say you can't be together?' Jessica added softly, giving Amy a side glance for bringing up what Beca did at the party.
'I erm, I don't want to drag him into my issues, I'm pretty messed up and I don't want to hurt him'.
'Jesse's a strong guy' Chloe replied.
'Plus he's incredibly good looking, I bet the sex would be good' Stacie added.
Beca just stared at Stacie open mouthed, not sure what to say.
'I think I'm going to call him, see if he wants to come over. That's if he doesn't hate me'
'Good luck Bec, text us tonight if you need too, I'm sure it'll all be fine'.
The girls all filed out of Beca's room and left the house. Beca took about 15 minutes to finally pluck up enough courage to pick up the phone and dial Jesses number.

-'Beca?'
-'Uh, hey, I'm sorry about earlier'.
-'You don't have to apologise Bec, you did nothing wrong.'
-'Can you erm, maybe come over? I want to, I eh. Need to speak to you'.
- 'Erm, sure, I'll be like 5 minutes.'

Beca put the phone down and took deep, composing breaths. She had no idea what she was going to say to Jesse. She had never been in this situation. She pretty much had originally only spoken to boys when she was drunk. She was scared she was rushing into things with Jesse, well that's if he even still wanted her after the way she had acted earlier.

Beca heard the knock at the door and went downstairs to open it, she walked past her father and Sheila in the lounge hearing the step-monster muttering something about it being rude inviting guests over past 9pm.

'Uh hey' Jesse greeted Beca awkwardly whilst rubbing the back of his neck, she realised that this was a nervous habit he had.
'Come up' was all she could manage to say in response, she was incredibly nervous and led Jesse up into her room.

Jesse sat on the bed whilst Beca remained standing. She wanted to feel as if she had some control over this situation and maybe standing she would have some authority. Jesse was silent waiting for Beca to talk. She realised there was no way he was going to start the conversation after she had already shot him down twice. She was going to need to man up and say what was on her mind.

'Jesse, I'm sorry'
'You keep saying that Bec, stop.'
'But I really am Jess, I messed you around'.
'No, you didn't, you've made it pretty clear you don't want a relationship Bec, if it's too hard for you then I don't want to push it'.
This was harder than she had planned. Why does this have to be so god damn hard? Why does he have to be so god damn considerate?
'I'm a mess Jesse, I don't want you to get hurt'.
'I'm pretty sure I can look after myself Bec'.
'What if I do something, if I hurt you, I don't know if I'd be able to live with that guilt'.
'You're not going to hurt me Bec, and you know I would never hurt you'.
Jesse stood up, he walked across the room and stood in front of Beca, he grabbed her hands and looked down into her eyes.
'Can I ask one more time, properly this time too, not drunk, not over some stupid movie, will you please go out with me Bec?'
Beca continued to hold Jesse's hands but stare down at her shoes. She could tell Jesse was getting nervous that she wasn't answering and clearly thought the answer was a no. He began to loosen his hands but Beca just grabbed them tighter. Still not looking up she spoke.
'You won't hurt me?'
Jesse let one hand go and lifted it to Beca's chin, using his fingers he lifted her face up so she was looking him in the eye.
'I promise I won't hurt you Bec'.
'You mean you won't hurt me intentionally Jesse, what if you do something to hurt me, what if I do something to hurt you. This things are never planned, you don't wake up one day and decide that you're going to hurt your partner, mistakes just happen'.
'I'm not going to hurt you Beca' was all Jesse said in reply, it was stern, assertive but had a sweetness to it.
Beca continued to stare at Jesse, she knew she wanted this.
Risks were worth taking right?
She put her free hand around Jesse's neck and pulled him down to kiss her. Their lips locked briefly. It was a light kiss, how the one at the party had started out. This time Jesse didn't push the kiss harder, he was sweet. He knew she was nervous and didn't want to freak her out. They continued to kiss when Beca pulled away cautious that her door was open and she didn't want her dad noticing.
Jesse pulled her into his chest and continued to hug her.

'You know what this means Bec' Jesse was laughing now.
'What? ยดBeca replied cautiously.
'You get to change your relationship status on facebook' Beca laughed, this damn boy and his facebook obsession.

Ah, I hope this was okay. I hope you guys don't mind that I've put them together already. I wanted to keep the movie style, will they won't they, but I also want them to be dating so they can do coupley stuff. Please review, tell me what you think, ideas for dates would be helpful?
