Beca woke up, naked with Jesse, covered with a sheet. She yawned and nuzzled into Jesse's chest.
He woke up of her nose tickling her chest. He looked at her surprised; "Good morning" He said and leaned towards her lips to capture a kiss.
Beca leaned back, teasing after the kiss. Jesse looked at the clock, "10 am….." Jesse said and yawned. His eyes widened, "10 am" He breathed and stood up.
"What?" Beca frowned as he started taking on his clothes fast.
"10 am," He yelled.
"Oh, right, okay" Beca said without knowing anything. What she knew was that she should take on her clothes.
As they ran to the Grandparent's house, Jesse stopped brutally, "The ring, the ring!" He said, fiddling in his pockets after the ring. He found the ring and quickly ran it on Beca's finger, almost squeezing it.
Jesse's car was outside the driveway, photographers and journalists were outside the car. Beca closed her eyes and grimaced as they were being attacked by the blitz from the cameras.
As Beca was going to open the door, some photographers blocked her way. Jesse shove them away and opened the door for her. She rolled her eyes and crawled inside. Jesse ran to the other side and crawled in.
"Thanks," She whispered as Jesse started the car.
"What did you take with you?" Jesse asked, pointing at her bag.
"Just my laptop, I need to get an article done" She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"So…uh, this is our last adventure then" Jesse said, forcing up a smile. Beca looked at him questioning. He cleared his throat, "We're done with this mania tonight, so we can go back home tomorrow"
"Oh" Beca said and chuckled. She looked down at her hands.
"But…um, I know you're not that kind of person but…after we've got back home, rested a bit. Would you like taking a cup of coffee? And that stuff"
Beca chuckled, "Maybe making out sometimes too, or maybe often" He added and shrugged.
"I would love to" Beca smiled toothy.
"Cool" Jesse said, leaning back proudly.
As they got in, she saw her parents, talking together after many years.
"Mom, dad!" She yelled. They walked towards them with a smile, "Hi" They said. Dr. Mitchell handshake Jesse politely.
"Nice place your family got here" Beca's mother said with a grin.
"Yeah, but it's kind of a show off, like Becs says" Jesse joked and wrapped his arm around her.
"Yeah she got her hate to fancy pants from her mother," Dr. Mitchell laughed. Jesse and Beca laughed with him, without getting the joke.
"What?" Beca's mother placed her hands on her hips, looking furious at him.
"We should go…" Beca laughed pulling Jesse with her, backwards.
"So" Jesse turned around and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Wanna make out?" He smirked, pointing at the bedroom door in the hall.
Beca sneaked her finger down his chest, fiddling with the buttons on the shirt. "I'd love to," She whispered in his ear. "But I just have to do some work done, is that okay?" She asked with a scowl.
Jesse nodded with a smile, "Go ahead, I have to talk to some annoying family" He said and rolled his eyes. Beca grinned and walked into the room. She sat down on the bed with her bag. She took out the laptop and turned it on. She looked at the article she edited last time. She grimaced, it was about Jesse. She scoffed. She just realized how much she used to hate him just a couple of months ago.
"Hi" Jesse smiled and walked in. Beca stunned and put the laptop away, "Hi" She breathed.
"Why so stressed?"
"Nothing" She shook her head.
"Yeah" Jesse said and sat down. Beca smirked as he leaned toward her lips. As they touched, she held his back and placed a hand on his cheek. She laid down on the bed with him over. He kept his weight on his arm. He ran his hand in her hair. Her phone vibrated. Beca pushed Jesse back lightly; "I'll take that" She whispered in his ear and kissed his cheek. He walked to the corner of the room and answered it.
"Hello?"
Jesse got his eyes on Beca's laptop, scanning his name on it. He frowned and looked at it.
"Jesse Swanson –getting innocent, 25-year old girl to marry him
Jesse Swanson, a betrayer. He is a tony-nominated songwriter and actor; he can get any girl he want. But he begs an old high school-friend to play his fiancé?
Such a shame. The real Jesse Swanson is a dorky, nerdy bad flirter" And there, it stopped. Jesse could feel his heart break, like really breaking. He placed the laptop back.
He heard Beca chuckled in the phone, "Yes boss, the article be done as fast as I can. It's great, people would love to her the truth 'bout him." She said and hung up. She looked at Jesse with a smirk. She walked towards him, he had his arms in cross and a serious face.
"Why, Bec?" He asked with a husky voice.
"What?" Beca looked at him confused.
"How could you lie to me?"
Beca scoffed, "What are you talking about, Jesse?"
"The article, Bec" He whispered. "You never liked me, you just wanted to come closer me to write the negative sides of me, plus the money"
"Wait, are you talking about that?" Beca scoffed, pointing on the screen. Jesse nodded. "You don't understand! I wrote it befo-"
"Don't try go give me any excuse, Bec! I heard you on the phone, the last thing you said!"
"I wasn't talking about you! I was talking 'bout-" Jesse looked around.
"You pretended to like me all the time, you made me actually fall in love with you. You do not even know! I really liked you, Bec. You were so great and alive. How can you do that to me?" He asked.
"Please, just believe me" Beca sighed.
"Why should I? You're a journalist" He said and walked out.
Beca sighed and stared at the door. Her mom's head popped in, "Time to eat"
Beca took the seat next to Jesse.
"Jesse" She tried to get eye contact with him. Jesse didn't want to meet her eyes, everything inside him was ruined. "Please, talk to me" She frowned.
"I'll send you the money to your apartment, and I'll tell that we agreed on that it didn't work" Jesse whispered.
Beca sighed, "Cash, please" She swallowed.
Dr. Mitchell clinked his fork on his glass, standing up.
"Hello everybody" He smiled. "We're all here to..."
Beca could not focus on her dad's words. She looked at Jesse with a soft look.
"They will fight and get mad at each other, maybe Beca will hurt someone 'cause she is pretty aggressive," Her dad said with a grimace. Everybody laughed, Beca looked at Jesse. He sat and fiddled on the rim of his glass. "But they will be honest with each other, and admit-"
Jesse stood up and made silence in the room. "Excuse me" He said and pulled his chair back and walked to the exit.
"Jesse!" Beca yelled after him. She sighed, "That soft heart" She muttered and ran out of the room with a confusing face on her. "Dude! Could you hold the drama to later?"
"No, I'm sorry, but I can't! But could you stay honest, please?"
Beca sighed, "Jesse..." She said and grabbed his hand.
He shook it off and walked. "Jesse, listen please!" She said and cracked in tears. "Of course I knew you liked me!" She admitted. Jesse shook his head in response. Beca ran after him. He sat down in his car.
"But I'm actually in love with you too-"Before she knew it, he closed the door. She stood there with tears rolling down her cheek. It hurt Jesse to drive from here with that face she had, but he did, and that cannot change.
"Fuck" Beca breathed.
"Thanks…dad" Beca said, tired. She opened up the door and walked out of the car.
"Everything will be fine, sweetie" He said and rubbed her arm.
"I know, dad" She smiled. "Bye" She whispered and closed the door.
As she stepped off the elevator to her floor, she sniffed the smell. The smell of drunk people who have been in the hall, making out, gum on the floor, late nights alone and all that cheesy stuff Jesse have learned her. Beca stared at Jesse's door, she placed her fist on the door, ready to knock. She closed her eyes and knocked on it. She heard Luke's voice. She gasped and ran to her door, desperately locking up the door and shutting it after herself.
"Hello?" Luke yelled, looking around the hall. He shrugged and closed the door. He walked around the big apartment. As he walked past Jesse's room, he stopped.
"Jesse?" He asked, Jesse was laying on his bed, throwing a ball in air.
"Hey dude" Jesse muttered tired.
"When did you come her?"
"I started driving last night, took some stops in some gas stations, but yeah"
"Uh, couldn't you get your dad to drive the car and take a plane or a train?" Luke scoffed.
"Nah" Jesse said and took a sip of a beer.
"Man, are you drunk?" Luke said concerned and sat down on the bed next to him.
"Yeah, so what!"
"What happened to you?"
"Beca broke my heart, that's what happened! Now get off my bed!" Jesse said trying to push Luke of his bed. Luke laughed, he had never seen Jesse been drunk without him being drunk too. Jesse usually just get drunk (sometimes) when Luke is drunk.
"Bloke, why mad on me?" Luke gripped Jesse's arms, which was fighting in the air.
"I'm sure Beca just want you! I'm sure she want to hook up with you!"
Luke laughed; "You should get some sleep" He muttered and walked out.
07:30 Next Morning
Beca opened up the letter from Jesse. Inside it, it was 5000 fucking dollars.
"Holy shit" Beca shouted and leaned back on the couch. "THAT FUCKING IDIOT". Someone knocked on the door, she sighed. She opened the door and found Luke standing there with crossed arms.
"What?" Beca raised an eyebrow.
"So, Jesse came home drunk, and now, he refuses to explain anything and means that something is going on between us! What happened, Becky?"
"Luke, its Beca, stop calling me Becky, it's been seven years!" She said with her hands on her hips.
"Just answer me."
"The fucking dork thought I was pretending to be a good friend, just to write a bad article about him"
"Did he think or did he see?" He said and crossed his arms.
"Well….he saw this article. But it's a misunderstanding – I wrote it in the start, like-" Beca stammered.
"I don't know, Bec.." He scratched the back of his neck.
"Oh, really?" Beca scoffed.
"Do you think that I should believe you, and not my best friend?"
"That dude says that something is between us, do you have any choice?" Beca laughed.
Luke sighed, "Yeah, but- wait, do you still like me?" Luke said with big eyes.
Beca snorted, "Sorry, but no"
He shrugged, "Then I don't believe you" He said and walked to the other door.
"By the way, could you give him these 4800 dollars back? That's some dumb bananas shit" Beca said, mentioning the money.
"He want you to keep them" Luke said and walked in to his apartment.
Beca sighed and slammed her door.
