One where Beca saves Aubrey from Bumper, enjoy. Also, YAY 20 chapters! :D

20. try to be smart or choose to be dum

This was supposed to be an aca-amazing party, I was just having fun, letting lose for once, and then this asshole known as Bumper Allen comes my way. I try to change his mind by glaring him down but he obviously has had too much to drink to care. I look around, trying to find someone who can save me but it's too late

"look who's here" I look at Bumper, his words are slurred from the alcohol "I told them to invite the fun Bella's, so that leaves me the question why you're here" I'm surprised he still talks shit, even after we beat the trebles asses at the ICCA's and he wasn't even in the team.

"I must ask the same thing, since you're not in college anymore, what are you doing here" great comeback Posen, up your game, slam him down

"I was busy being famous in LA, but I saw what a mess all you guys made so I came back to rescue all of these lovely ladies from your grasp, ya know, offer them an umbrella when things get tough" he downs his drink

"not one of the Bella's wants your help, they all know how much of an egotistical fuck you are and they know better than to get with you"

"because that's what you drilled them with, I'm too much sexiness to resist"

"they know that because they have eyes, and they can use them" I'm clenching my fists, he notices and takes a step back

"whoa, getting a little frustrated are we? Am I in the save zone or should I take another step back" I hate the smirk on his face. I hate him so much. He takes a few steps towards me and I take some back to keep the distance between us, that is until I hit a wall and I'm stuck. Bumper keeps coming closer and there's not much I can do other than tell him to fuck off.

"I never pegged you as the rape kind of guy, I always thought that was too high of a rank for you"

"you're a bitch"

I don't let him finish "even your parents must hate you, I mean, they named you Bumper, who does that!?" we quickly grabs my wrists and puts them above my head, I try to get them loose but I can't, his face is disgustingly close now, he whispers

"let's see if you still have such a big mouth after I'm done with you" for the first time this evening I'm afraid, I'm scared what he'll do. My first instinct is to spit in his face, so I do but that wasn't smart, because seconds later his hand connects with my cheek and man that hurts. I have my eyes closed to stop the tears from falling when I feel that my wrists are released, still, I don't dare open my eyes. I do however when I hear something hit the ground, in front of me is Bumper but there's someone in between us, it's Beca.

"get out of the way midget"

"oh yes my height, how original. Now the smart thing you can do is walk away and be happy if we decide to not file any charges against you, I'll have you know that my mom is a lawyer and a damn good one as well, the stupid thing you can do is stay here and try to get past me. I don't care what you do, I will make sure you go down, one way or the other"

Bumper huffs, knowing he's not smart I know he won't choose the smart way out and that makes me worry for Beca. I know she has a mean right hook, we all saw that at regionals but Bumper's a big dude and I don't who'll win if they do start a fight.

"what is someone your size gonna do against someone my size"

Beca takes a stand and raises her fists, damn this is hot, her defending me like this, it does things with me.

"try me" she says and Bumper does, his fist hits Beca's jaw and she falls to the ground. A very weird squeak leaves my mouth but before I know it Bumper is on the ground too and Beca is on top of him, slamming fist after fist on his face. This goes on for a while and Bumper does not look like Bumper and the blood on his face snaps me out of this haze I was in, I walk to the pair and pull the small girl of Bumper and pull her in for a hug to calm her down.

"I'm sorry" she says "I went too far, I just couldn't let him hurt you, I'm sorry"

"it's alright, thank you, for saving me. Come on, let's go back to the house" she nods and we get up, I take her hand in mine and she winches in pain. I see that her fingers are swollen and scratched "Jesus Becs, I'm pretty sure you broke some bones"

She looks at me, smirk plastered on her face "worth it". The walk back is silent and when we're there I grab the med kit and use the few skills I have to tend Beca's hands, I'm so wrapped up in my work that I jump slightly when Beca speaks

"I wanna take you out on a date" it's not even a question "I wanna show you how you should be treated, I wanna make sure you know that you deserve the world an guys like Bumper are not the standard"

I nod "okay"

She looks surprised "really? Wow, I hadn't expected that to be so easy. I really like you and you should know that"

I bring her hand up to my mouth and give it a soft kiss "well, I really like you too"

Then something happens that I hadn't seen before, I get a genuine smile from Beca. Not a smirk or a half smile, and it looks good on her.
