A/N: PLEASE READ
hey guys! I'm glad you liked the last chapter. I told you to prepare your feels. I love reading your guys' reviews. The response to the question was amazing, and I'm glad that I did it. It's like we're writing this together, and it makes me feel like we're friends, only via internet, so not like super great friends, but still friends, because I love all of my followers and readers. Here is my letter to you. Dear you. Hey beautiful. You are the reason that I write this stuff. Thank you. Hugs and Kisses darling. Stay amazing. Love, Me.
So this chapter is going to be a little different. I figured I should explain it to you in my cute little a/n beforehand so that you don't get confused, because I care about you that much. This is going to be a chapter in the scene of Beca going to meet Jesse. Implying that this happened before Beca went back to the apartment because I left off last chapter with 'Where is she? Where is Chloe?' andSPOILER ALERT I'm going to start chapter 8 with that same line, and then chapter 8 is going to be back to Beca at the apartment with Aubrey. Sorry about this long intro guys, you may read on now. I love you!
"Hey Becs!" Jesse said cheerfully as his girlfriend answered the phone.
"Hi." was her simple response.
"So I have a question."
"Okay."
"Do you want to go to that restaurant that just opened in town last week?"
"Um, alright." Jesse didn't seem to be noticing that Beca wasn't very happy about it.
"Cool! I'll call and get reservations right now."
"Okay."
"I'll pick you up around five, okay?"
"Okay, I'll see you then."
"Bye babe!"
Jesse was very happy that he was with Beca. Now, they had only been together for nearly a week, but he was still happy. This is exactly how it would have turned out if this were a movie. Boy meets girl. Boy befriends girl. Boy finds himself crushing on girl. Dramatic fight. Boy ends up with the girl. Finale kiss. Hoorah, hoorah! But of course,
Just as he said, Jesse picked Beca up from her dad's house at five. Beca looked shaky and edgy as if something was clearly bothering her, but again, Jesse was completely oblivious to it. The car ride was silent. Not much was said except for when Jesse told her that she looked nice and she muttered a thanks. He still sat with the same goofy grin on his face. Beca's head was running wild after leaving Chloe's apartment. She honestly didn't want to go out to dinner, but something awful deep down inside of her told her to go. She decided not to look like a complete mess, so she put on a striped long sleeve shirt with a black jacket over it and a plain pair of skinny jeans.
They drove in to town to the restaurant that Jesse had been excited about for the last month. It was seafood, which was one of his favorites. Their reservations were for 5:45, so they were seated pretty quickly. So far, everything was sufficiently awkward. Beca was clearly distracted the entire time. She was looking down at the table aimlessly, stirring her drink with her straw, and everything that Jesse said had to be repeated, because she wasn't paying attention. She was too busy thinking about Chloe. The way she left things with her and the things that she didn't tell her in the given moment.
"Bec!" Beca jerked her head up quickly.
"Huh?" she responded for what seemed like the thirtieth time since they had entered the restaurant. They looked at each other for a few silent moments before Beca put folded her hands on the table in front of her to stop them from fidgeting. She sat up straighter in her seat and waited for Jesse to say something.
"What's up with you tonight?"
Beca opened her mouth to talk, and then closed it. Then she sighed as she realized that what she was about to do was something that she didn't want to have to do.
"Jesse I can't do this."
"What?" Jesse replied with a concerned look. "You don't want to be out to dinner tonight? Because we can leave. We don't have-"
"No I mean I can't…" she sighed again. "I can't be with you. I thought that I wanted to, but I realized that this is not what I want." It finally clicked in her head.
What am I doing here?
This is not where I should be.
I want to be with somebody that I really care about.
I want Her.
Beca quickly grabbed her jacket and her phone and stood up. She began to make her make out of the doors and in to the parking lot without hearing anything from Jesse, but as she reached the sidewalk, she heard footsteps running behind her.
"BECA, WAIT!" she groaned as she turned around. She was met with Jesse who had an unreadable expression. "What the hell? What do you mean this isn't what you want?"
"Jesse this is nothing against you. You are a great guy and you are going to make a girl really happy, but it's just not going to be me."
"So, this past week, all of that was just nothing? This entire past year, all the feelings that I have for you are just for absolutely nothing?" He was beginning to get angry.
"As bitchy as that sounds, no Jesse. It meant nothing to me."
"Are you kidding me? Why in the hell would you do that, Beca? Did you just plan on dragging me along so that you could break my heart somewhere down the line?"
"I thought that maybe I could give this a try, but you are not the person that I want to be with, and I'm not going to get involved to the point where I can't get out."
"No!" Jesse half-shouted. "Beca, this is not how things were supposed to turn out! Things were going fine. We had the perfect ending together but you had to go and fucking ruin it!"
"You had the perfect ending!" Beca retorted. "But guess what Jesse; life isn't always going to be a movie for you. The guy doesn't always get what he wants. I know what my perfect ending was supposed to be, and I ruined it, and I ruined it for Chloe…"
"CHLOE? Is that seriously what this is all about?" Jesse scoffed. "What makes her so much better than me? No, never mind, I don't want to know. You've bruised my ego enough tonight. I hope you're fucking happy with her." Jesse crossed the parking lot over to his car, kicking the tire before getting in and slamming the door shut. He was infuriated. Beca didn't know how to react. She was upset with herself in so many ways. She turned back around and walked all the way to the end of the street before she began running. There was one thing on her mind:
I broke her heart. And now I'm going to fix it. I'm in love with her. I let her go once, but I'm not going to let it happen again.
