*so I know I ended it on a cliff hanger but I need to keep my readers interested ;) I hope you enjoy!*
Jesse POV
Beca was talking longer than usual at the station and it was getting dark. I decided to go down and meet her as I didn't want her to walk home alone in the dark. The station was only a 10 minute walk away, which I jogged as it was a little bit chilly. I opened the door, all the lights were off, but I could see the faint orange glow of the Booth light. "Beca?" I called out, not too loud because I knew she'd be working. I wandered out to the back, I could hear noises from the booth but the blinds were down so I couldn't see in properly. Confused and worried I pushed on the door. It was locked. Now I was very worried. Beca never locked the door or had the blinds down while she was working… I pushed a bit harder, still didn't open. I took a step back and kicked the door hard. Since It was only an old wooden door it burst open. I stepped inside and my heart dropped. Pinned against the back wall was Beca, in her underwear with Luke pressed against her. She was crying, he eyes full of fear. I'd never seen that side of her before. Anger rushed over me. I ran over to Luke, grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him off of her. Throwing him to the ground I laid into him. Hitting and kicking him till he could barely move. The only thing that stopped me from killing him were the cries of Beca. I spun round to face her just in time, she collapsed into my arms and just cried. After a few minutes she pulled away and started to get dressed. "Becs talk to me baby?" I asked. I needed her to speak to me.
Beca POV
Jesse was my hero. But I couldn't talk to him right now. He pleaded with me to talk. I just shook my head, turning away so he didn't see any more tears. I pulled my jumper on, but it was ripped on the sleeve. Before I knew what was happening Jesse wrapped his jacket around me and squeezed my arm reassuringly. I winced in pain as it was the same spot Luke had touched. He pulled away quickly, looking hurt. "Beca im sorry I didn't mean to hurt you!" he apologised quickly. I took a deep breath, "its okay Jesse, it wasn't your fault, you didn't know." That's all I could say right now. I needed to thank him but for some reason I could get the words out. We left the radio station and headed towards the Trebles house. He went to take my hand but I pulled away, as soon as I did I regretted it. His face dropped as his eyes filled with hurt. "I'm sorry Jesse, I didn't mean to i…" I began to cry again. My knees started to give way and just as they went he caught me in his arms and just pulled me into him, holding me close, stroking my hair. "Its okay baby, I understand." He whispered it in my ear as he scooped me up in a bridal style way. He carried me the rest of the way to the treble house. He put my gently onto his bed and passed me some sweatpants and an old t-shirt to change into. He went to leave the room. I knew why he was leaving and it made my heart melt that he was so thoughtful. "please stay Jesse, I don't want to be on my own just yet," I asked him. I needed him right now, I was too scared to be left on my own. He stopped and looked at me. "only if your sure Beca?" I nodded, I was very sure. He closed the door and came to sit beside me on the bed. I changed quickly and then scrambled under the duvet. I patted the bed next to me and threw the cover back, inviting Jesse to get in. He did, so I snuggled into him asking him to hold me. "Thank you for saving me Jesse" I whispered. He held me tightly, as if he was scared that something was going to happen to me again. "Its okay baby, I'll always be here to protect you. Im sorry I wasn't there sooner!" he sounded angry and upset, I rolled round to face him. His eyes were full of tears and anger. "Its not your fault don't you dare say sorry!" I told him sternly. I didn't want him to feel as if he could've stopped it, because he couldn't have. Nobody could've stopped it except for Luke. "I love you Becs…can I ask you something?" he said the last part with some caution. I nodded slowly, worried about what he would ask. "why didn't you use your whistle?" he said it so quietly I barely didn't hear. "it was in my bag, on the floor under the desk…I couldn't get to it.." I explained, worried that he'd be angry at me, "please don't be angry!" I started to cry again. "No no no stop crying babygirl, how could I be angry at you?! I was just curious that's all!" he kissed my forehead softly. We just laid there together for ages, when I thought he was asleep I took a deep breath and prepared myself. "I love you Jesse Swanson" I said it quietly but confidently. I knew now that the time was right, even if he wasn't awake to hear it, I'd finally said it out loud. Smiling at myself I closed my eyes and settled down to sleep.
