It had been a couple years since Jesse and Beca broke up. Jesse was sitting in a Diner one day on his day off. He was writing something down in a notebook as he heard a familiar voice.

"Jesse?"

Jesse looked up and saw Beca.

"Beca…hey, how are you?"

"I'm okay…I just got off my shift…what are you doing here?"

"I just got off. I host a radio station…here in L.A…what about you? How are you doing?"

"I'm okay," She said softly.

"Wanna take a seat?" Jesse asked. Beca nodded sitting down.

"How have ya been?" Jesse smiled closing his notebook.

"I'm okay…what about you?"

"I'm good, real good, so do you work here part time?" Jesse smirked, "Waiting for that big break?"

"No," Beca said softly, "I work here full time."

Jesse looked at her thinking and just nodded slowly. She changed; she was quiet, less out spoken. He didn't like this Beca. What happened?

"How has your love life been?" Beca asked.

"It's been a bit lonely, can't lie…" Jesse said, "But…I'm hoping that'll change, what about you?"

"I uhm…well," Beca began until a man walked up to Beca. He was tall, handsome needless to say, but he had dark hair and dark brown eyes.

"Beca, what the hell…I've been out there waiting. I don't have time, let's go," he said sternly.

"I'm sorry, I kept her…I wanted to catch up," Jesse said.

"Whatever, Bec, say goodbye and let's move it," his voice was sharp as he walked away. Beca just looked at Jesse and nodded. Jesse grabbed her hand, and she felt a surge of energy go through her.

"It was nice seeing you again, I hope I can see you again soon," Jesse said. Beca just nodded and walked out. Jesse watched as the man who approached them was yelling at her and grabbing her arm. He made her get in the passenger seat and Jesse sighed.

A few days later, Beca had a day off, and she was over at Stacie's. Stacie (who was 4 months pregnant) was cooking tonight for Donald's birthday, and Beca was there helping her. Stacie smirked.

"I have to say, Jesse has a radio voice," Stacie smiled, "I love it."

"Yeah, he always did. It's funny he said he wanted to make music scores," Beca said softly.

"Yeah, and you said you wanted to make music, and I don't see that happening," Stacie looked at her.

"Rob won't let me," Beca said looking down as she took peas out of the pod.

"Mhm…you were good at it. Great at it actually," Stacie heard the music die down and Jesse's voice come on, along with another guys.

"Hey, thanks for listening KROQ. So, Jess, you were telling me about how ya ran into an old friend a few days ago,"

"Yeah Jack, and I know we don't do singing, and I know we don't generally showcase a lot of songs. But I want to sing one for this old friend, and I hope she's listening," Jesse said.

"Oh boy, singing from Jesse Swanson himself. Who is this old friend of yours?" Jack asked.

"Beca…Beca Mitchell."

"Well, Beca Mitchell, you're a lucky gal. Tell us, what song will you be singing?"

"I think, anyone would know this song," Jesse said, "I have a few friends here who are amazing at Acapella, and…I can't resist…so…I'll just start."

"Beca Mitchell, if you're listening…this one's to you," Jack said in a smooth voice and Beca turned it up. She could hear beat boxing and harmonizing in the background as Jesse began to sing:

Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh...

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away

Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on - call my name
Will you all my name?

I say:
La la la...
When you walk on by...
And you call my name...

There was clapping in the studio, and you could hear high fiving.

"Wow, Jess you've got pipes and your buddies too. Well, that –for those that don't know- was "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds. Mostly recognized by those who have seen Breakfast Club. If you were listening Beca, that was to you. Anything else you wanna add Jess?"

"Yes, I wanna wish my buddy Donald a happy birthday and I want to congratulate his wife on her pregnancy, congrats Stacie,"

"All right, we'll give ya some tunes after this commercial."

"Isn't he sweet! I'll have to call him later," Stacie smiled.

"I…I can't believe he remembered," Beca said softly.

"He loves you still," Stacie looked at her.

"Doesn't matter," Beca looked away.

"I think it does. Rob just beats you Beca. You're so much better than that. Donald and I have always told you, that you can come here. We can make sure you're safe."

"He'll hurt you guys. I don't want that on my conscious okay? You have too much to risk."

"Well, since your monster is out of town for the next few days, will you stay for Donald's party? Lots of the Bellas and some of the Trebles are coming. Maybe you can scope out a new guy that can protect you, and…dump your monster?"

"Why must you call him a monster?"

"He is that's why, will you stay? Please?"

"Sure," Beca smiled.

Later on that day, Donald was running late and everyone was there. He came in and smiled at Stacie.

"Hey babe, I bought something home with me, or rather someone," He opened the door more and there stood Jesse.

"Jesse! Hey!" Stacy smiled hugging him, "Thanks for the shout out today."

"You deserve it," Jesse smirked putting his hand on her stomach, "Congrats, he's a kicker."

Beca froze not turning around when she heard his voice. Her heart was beating a mile a minute; she didn't understand why she felt this way. She was with a guy, engaged actually. Jesse made his rounds. He finally made his way to Beca and smirked.

"Well, I didn't think your boyfriend would let you out of the house…he seemed upset a few days ago," Jesse said.

"He's actually my fiancé."

"Oh," Jesse nodded. Donald announced that he'd be grilling out back. Jesse looked at her, "C'mon."

As the night went on, everyone was having a good time. There was music, food, and drinks. Stacie whispered to Donald, and he nodded and played the song "Don't You (Forget About Me)" Jesse looked at Beca who was in her phone. Some got up and danced. Jesse walked over to Beca and held his hand out. Beca looked up at him.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, it's our song pretty much…we're obligated..."

Beca took a deep breath and shook her head; she couldn't hide the smirk on her face.

"You're still…a dork."

"I am…which is why you should dance with me," Jesse smiled at her.

As they began to dance, Beca couldn't deny how good it felt in his arms. She put her head on his shoulder and took a deep breath. The smell of his cologne, it was something she missed. Jesse smirked and held her close. He held Beca close and he didn't want to leave her or let go.

"So, you haven't talked to Kelly?" Beca asked.

"Not since you walked in…I couldn't. I think about you every day Beca. Donald told me about Rob…and how he treats you…"

"He shouldn't have," Beca said softly.

"You deserve better than him," Jesse said.

"You?" Beca looked up at him.

"Better than me even," Jesse looked at her, "I wish I can go back in time and change it. But I'm not the same man either…if you weren't with Rob…I'd beg for another chance. I'd get on my knees and beg like a dog. I just want you to know that…if you need a safe place to stay; you can always come to my house. There's a key under my mailbox."

"I don't even have your address…"

"I'll give it to you before you leave, I just want you to know there is a safe place to go Beca," Jesse said, "Even if you don't love me…you're still a friend, and I still care about you."

"I appreciate that, I just don't want him to hurt you Jesse," Beca said.

"He can't…he won't. He wouldn't dare…Bella would attack him."

"Who's Bella?"

"My dog. She's a German Shepard mix."

"Mixed with?"

"A Siberian Husky," he smirked, "She's so beautiful."

"Why Bella?"

"After the Barden Bellas," Jesse smirked.

"How sweet," Beca smiled.

As the night winded down, everyone was saying goodbye. Jesse looked at Beca and gave her a paper with an address on it.

"If the lights are off, and you try to get in and the door is locked, the key is under the mail box," Jesse smiled.

"I'll keep that in mind," Beca nodded, "It was good seeing you again."

"It was good seeing you too Beca…take care of yourself," Jesse hugged her and kissed the side of her head.

Beca wanted to cry, that was it for her. She felt like a part of her was torn away. As if she knew that if she wasn't careful she'd never see Jesse again. She wanted to see him again. Yes, he cheated but he's a different man now. While he's still a dork, a loveable dork, and he has a weird charm to him, he has changed. Jesse smiled hugging Donald and hugging and kissing Stacie. He walked to his car and rode off into the dark. Beca stood there watching him go, rubbing her arms. Stacie stood next to her.

"You still love him don't you? Part of you at least," Stacie asked.

"I don't want to, but it's hard not to. He's still the same, charming dork he always was, but he seems so grown up now," Beca said softly.

"He's been talking about adopting a kid, he wants a family real bad," Donald said standing next to Stacie, "He's such a great guy now Beca, not the same…that's for sure. He has the same heart he always had though. He'd give ya the shirt off his back."
