A/N: Here is the next chapter. There is a slightly intimate scene towards the end. It is only a paragraph but just seemed to fit in. If you want you can skip it. As promised you start to see the past. Feel free to give me song ideas for later on. Let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy it.

So on with the chapter...

Chapter 3

Once again Beca woke up with a brown haired man in her bed. She doesn't want to think about how much she had to drink. Last night is just a vague memory. She's suddenly very aware of the other body in her bed, aware that this isn't her bed. She thinks it might be his. Suddenly she is paralysed. How does she get out of this one? Will he remember? Could she leave before he woke up? She would have to climb over him. Would he wake up? This is not how she pictured it. The other morning she woke up with a brown haired man that held quite a resemblance to a certain man from her past in her bed. Now she woke up to find herself in bed, naked, with none other than that very certain man. What was she going to do? And what the hell happened last night?

Last Night

She saw him stood there. She froze looking at him. As people became accustomed to her presence they started to turn back to their friends. Listening closer she was only recognised as the leader of the Bella's for their first ICCA's win. She let out a sigh of relief. She knew she was being paranoid about it really. Gathering herself together she gave a wave. He frowned. Obviously expecting her to run. She was about to take a step forward when suddenly her view was blocked by none other than Fat Amy dragging her reluctant husband along. He would much rather be hanging with his fellow Treblemakers but Amy had him on a short leash. While in the past Beca couldn't stand Bumper he had obviously become slightly more bearable. Before she knew it or could even get a word out Beca was being dragged off to her group of Bellas. Aubrey, Chloe, Lily, Stacie and Cynthia Rose were there while others had yet to arrive and some were talking to Bellas that had joined in later years. As Beca reached the group she received mixed welcomes.

Aubrey had always been supportive of Beca's running of the Bellas after the oath had been restored. They had kept in touch those last two years but like with everyone Beca cut off contact with her after graduation. It was odd that she could look back on those four years as simultaneously the best and worst of her life so far. She was slightly suspicious of Amy's motives when bringing her to the group. As Amy had still been part of the Bellas when the oath was restored she had been forced to break up with Bumper even though technically he was no longer a Treblemaker. It had also been hard on Lily who had to break up with her boyfriend. Perhaps one of her biggest regrets was forcing Benji's girlfriend to break up with him. He really didn't deserve it, he wasn't like the others but it couldn't be one rule for one and another for the rest. Benji had been the one Treble who had remained friendly to the Bellas. She knew being stuck between herself and Jesse could not have been easy for him, and they definitely hadn't tried to make it any easier. After all she was guilty of forcing him to keep a secret from his best friend. Even after she had taken his girlfriend from him he had still not been hostile. Jesse had been. He was always protective of Benji. Looking back now she wondered if Jesse really had been responsible for all the things the Trebles had pulled. Part of Beca wondered if that was what this gathering was about. It was set two weeks before University started. She wondered if maybe the university had finally had enough of the fighting and was making a last ditch effort to get the groups to make peace. After both groups had almost been banned by the University things had calmed down briefly but before long they started to build again but not to the same degree.

As Beca looked around she noticed why Bumper seemed so uncomfortable, and it had little to do with Amy's control over him. It was becoming increasingly clear that he was not welcome. All the Bellas were watching him as if he were some kind of criminal or vermin. If things had not changed since she left then she wasn't surprised. What did surprise her was that Amy hadn't been shunned because of it.

"Well if it isn't the witch herself," started Stacie. Obviously she hadn't been forgiven. She wondered how her own friends had come to hate her. And why hadn't she realised at the time?

"Wow, I can tell I'm wanted here."

"Nonsense, she's just a little bitter that she can't go over and flirt without getting in trouble and causing a fight." Chloe put in.

"Hey, He's a hunter!" She objected. Beca let out a sigh of relief, things already felt a little more normal. Beca couldn't help herself any longer, she had to ask.

"So is She here?"

"Unfortunately, if she hadn't moved then we could've kicked her out and she wouldn't be here but..." Fat Amy answered.

"Yeah, she did, so she is. I got it."

"Wait, who is 'She'?" Bumper put in. The look from all the girls in the circle shut him up. 'Wow' thought Beca he really has changed.

"Okay, I'm gonna join my people before all you ladies decide to flay me alive, not that I can blame them, they all want me." He said making a hasty exit before Fat Amy could grab him. 'As always, he runs away from a fight' thought Beca thinking back to their first Regionals. The guy wanted to fight Bumper but somehow she was the one who ended up in jail. She internally winced at memory of what she had said afterwards.

Slowly the rest of her first year group gathered together. Reminiscing about that part was easy. It had been perhaps the best year we had had at Barden. It was when Chloe started asking questions about who had replaced her and Aubrey that things got difficult.

Second Year at Barden

After the Bellas won the finals the rest of the year went relatively quietly. The oath was lifted although it was not official until the next year and Beca and Jesse became an official couple. They wasted no time in trying out their new relationship. It all seemed perfect. Summer came and while they hated being apart they visited each other and talked often. In fact Beca had managed to keep in touch with everyone. A fact she was proud of. Soon enough they were all returning to Barden. Amy had got together with Bumper towards the end of their freshman year and apparently they had stayed together over summer. How they would make it work with him in L.A. and Amy in Barden she didn't know but thinking again maybe that was why it did work. Beca couldn't imagine wanting to spend that much time with him but then again that was why Amy was in a relationship with him and not her.

Beca had been especially happy to see Jesse again, they had seen each other over the holiday but it was not the same as the everyday they had got used to over the course of the year. Jesse however was not so happy to find that Luke was still there and working at the university, he wasn't leaving anytime soon. Still that hadn't even been a bump in the road and both the Bellas and the Trebles were looking forward to the start of the competition both convinced they would win this year. She guessed it all started at the auditions. It was common knowledge that her and Jesse were together. They were seen all over campus together so no one could say they didn't know. Still Beca became increasingly aware of how much attention girls paid to Jesse. It was unsettling but like many things in life she didn't like: she ignored it. At auditions the Bellas had picked up four girls. Two to replace Aubrey and Chloe and two to replace the girls disinvited after aca-initiation night. The Trebles had also picked up a few new faces.

Jane, Kelly, Carly and Amelia. They were the new girls. They had all been surprised but pleased to find that the oath had been changed. There was no longer any rule against having a relationship with a Treblemaker. Some in Beca's opinion had been a little too pleased. Carly and Kelly had both made comments about Beca being the reason for the oath being changed. Somehow coming out of their mouths it had not sounded like a complement. Odd as they were most excited about it not being in the oath. Beca could pinpoint it down to that night that it all started, although they wouldn't realise for months. In their new intake they had ingested a poison that would change the dynamic of the two groups.

Once again Beca had walked into the aca-initiation night party to a shout of "Becaw! Becaw!" She rolled her eyes.

"You drunk already?" She asked feeling some déjà vu when she heard his response.

"I'm not drunk at all, your just blurry" then he leaned over and kissed her. Well he definitely tasted like alcohol. She wondered not for the first time how half the Trebles managed to be drunk by the time the Bellas arrived. Then rather than leaving her to fetch her a drink he decided it was best to drag her with him, thankfully using the steps and not the seats this time. Soon they were at the bottom dancing.

"You're not gonna win this year you know, without Chloe you've got no chance. The Trebles will take back the crown!" Jesse drunkenly babbled.

"Yeah? You wanna bet?" Beca replied.

"Never take drunken bets, never ends well," Amy slurred as she wondered past. That was when for the first time Beca noticed one of her new Bellas looking at Jesse in a way that made Beca want to kick her out instantly and make sure she was never able to look at anyone that way again. That aggressively possessive feeling scared her. She had never felt so strongly like that before. It would not be the last time she felt it. This time however she had the luxury of blaming it on the alcohol. Instead she decided to show the girl that Jesse was hers and totally off limits. Making sure the girl was watching she kissed him hard and passionately. Although shocked and drunk it took him less that a second to respond. Making sure the girl could hear them she suggested they leave early. She was ready to break in the new Bella house that they were to move into that night. She knew it was a little juvenile but she felt she had to do something and the alcohol had seriously impaired her self-control. He had no objections to her plan though, although he was not privy to her drunken reasoning. It was only the beginning.

Once the edited version of their replacements had been given, the one that was all rainbows and unicorns, Beca felt it was time to duck out for another drink, she wasn't sure how many they had had whilst stood there, or where they had come from for that matter. Aubrey already knew the sordid truth. Surprisingly Beca and Aubrey had become very close over her last two years at Barden. Beca had told Aubrey the story so Aubrey was perhaps one of only three or four that knew the real truth behind this war. It seemed strange that Aubrey had been the one she trusted with it and talked to the most considering their poor relationship during their shared time at Barden.

In the time they had spent talking it appeared the party really had started. Music was playing and both the Bellas and the Trebles seemed to be drunk enough that there actually was some kind of mixing going on. When she first arrived there had been a clear split. On one side was the Bellas and on the other were the Trebles. She had also discovered that there were three houses for them to stay in over the week. The Treble house, opposite was the Bella house and standing adjacent to both was what was being referred to as no man's land: The neutral house; Where Trebles and Bellas would go for the forced joint events and for married Bellas and Trebles to stay. As they split from their group she watched as Fat Amy headed for Bumper and Lily headed to Donald. Beca smiled; at least they had got back together. She hadn't done permanent damage there; the same couldn't be said for Benji. She had to admit Donald was the only one who could A: hear Lily first time and B: find her adorable for things the rest of them found kind of disturbing.

For the rest of the evening she mingled, danced and drank. As the Party moved into the early hours of the morning they all moved into the square created by the three buildings they were to stay in. People had started to drift off. Stacie had still managed to pick up a Treble. Only current Trebles and Bellas were really under oath. Some older ones were married so really applying the oath now did seem a little pointless. It was nearing 2am when Beca saw her and as expected she was all over him. For all she knew they were together and married but for some reason she didn't care even after all these years it still got to her. Before she or anyone else could stop her she stormed over. This couldn't possibly end well she knew it but she just couldn't help it.

"Hey, you still just can't help yourself can you. Not 10 years ago and not now seriously you think he's interested in you? Do you have a brain or is it just absent today?" She knew it was rude, not to mention that she had absolutely no right over Jesse anymore but she couldn't believe he would dance with her of all people, especially when she was here to see it.

"Well, well, well. Look whose here. I guess it's only fitting as it's all your fault. I wondered how long you could pretend that you didn't think you owned Jesse. I mean you always acted like he was your property but last time I checked he wasn't your boyfriend, so I guess you can't even pretend anymore." She bit back. "In fact," she said a smirk gracing her face, "if anyone has a claim on him it's me. Us being together now." She bragged. At that point Beca saw red, before she knew what happened she punched her and stormed off.

"Oh my god Beca, what was that? I know you don't like her but it's been nearly 10 years!" Came a voice as they tried to catch up.

"Oh right, so after everything she did I'm just supposed to forgive and forget like you obviously have!"

"Really? It never occurred to you she just said that to you to mess with you, and obviously it worked."

"So you're not her boyfriend?"

"No. What bothers you more the fact that it's her or the fact that it's me?" Beca stayed silent as she turned to face him. She bit her lip, unsure what to say. Her heart was screaming out to him, for her to answer him but even now she wasn't drunk enough to listen to it. He had come closer. He was obviously intoxicated too. He would probably be screaming at her if he wasn't, and she deserved it.

"Still wearing that ear spike I see." He said, obviously realising he wouldn't get an answer and too drunk to realise what he was doing. He was too close.

Next thing she knows their mouths are locked together. She's not really sure how it even happened. Their tongues dancing, fighting for dominance. They're stumbling backwards into the Treble house. She vaguely realises that it will be trouble getting out in the morning. He pushes her into his room. The moment the door closes she lifts his t shirt over his head and off. It seems so natural. She runs her hands down his chest relishing in the feel of it after so long. She takes a second to admire it. It's been too long. Then his mouth is on hers again. Moving along her jaw, down her neck. At the same time his hands grab onto the hem of her top as he lifts it up and off. The feel of his hands on he bare stomach and back is amazing and she can't believe it's been so long. He claims her mouth again as he lies her back on to the bed. His mouth working its way back down her neck, sucking and biting it, only making her want him more, then soothing it over with his tongue. He reaches behind her to unclasp her bra. This is it, no going back now.

She knows she will regret it in the morning most likely. It will only make one more problem they need to work through. If he even wants to. She was convinced he would hate her, now she's just more confused than ever. Still while she wasn't drunk enough to follow her heart, she was way too drunk to deny her body.

'Yep,' she thought as she sat up in bed with a sleeping and naked Jesse lying beside her. 'I really screwed up this time. How do I get out of this one?'

Okay. so I hope it was alright. Let me know wha you think. If the flashbacks are confusing in the way they are set out let me know and I will change it. Feel free to give my your imput. Reviews make me feel obligated to update faster but do what you want (I never said I wouldn't say it just that I might not). Anyway hope you enjoyed it.
