*well I ended the last story on a happy note because the last few chapters have been intense and dramatic. This one will be a little bit more toned down but not completely boring. Starts the morning after*
Jesse POV
I'd barely slept all night. Thinking about what she'd said to be just before she fell asleep. She didn't think I was awake but I was and I heard her loud and clear. She'd told me she loved me. For the first time ever. It seemed to make everything that happened last night just a tiny bit better. Today though, Beca and I would have to face the reality of what happened. Obviously she wasn't going to be working at the station anymore, but whether she would go to the police or not I don't know. I looked at the alarm clock next to my bed, 8:15am. Too early to wake Beca yet, I decided to text the Bella's and tell them Beca couldn't make it to rehearsals today, I gave no reason since it wasn't my place to tell them about it. I climbed out of bed carefully and headed off for a shower.
After my shower I dressed and ran out of the Treble house to the campus café just down the road. I ordered two breakfast bagels. When I got back I headed up to the room, she was still fast asleep. She looked so peaceful I felt mean waking her. "Beca baby, wake up," I said gently shaking her. I smiled as she stretched out and started to stir, for a few minutes she looked happy, then all the events of last night started to come back, I could tell by the way her eyes clouded over. "Good morning million dollar baby," I greeted kissing her cheek. I desperately wanted to cheer her up, I handed her the bagel. She smiled sweetly at me, "thanks Jess. You so special to me, thank you for everything." It was an unexpected comment but it meant so much to me. "Stop thanking me, I love you, that's why I do everything I do for you!" I told her kissing her cheek again.
Beca POV
He was being so sweet, getting me breakfast and looking after me. I was glad I'd told him last night. Although maybe I should tell him when he is actually awake next time. Today though there were things to sort out. "Will you take me to the police station please..?" I asked nervously. For some reason I expected him to say no, although I also knew he'd be more than happy to do anything for me. "Of course babe, why don't you eat up and get dressed. Oh and I already told the girls you won't be there today" he replied smiling at me as he headed out of the room. He was an angel in disguise I was sure. I finished eating and put some of Jesses sweats on, I wanted to be comfortable when I was at the station. I went downstairs, Unicycle and Donald were sat playing on the xbox in the common room. I walked past and headed out to Jesse's car. He was leaning on the car texting, I wondered who but never asked. We climbed into the car and drove into town. It was a short drive but it felt like forever. I stood in front of the police station; I felt my heart rate race. Jesse took my hand and squeezed it tightly. He led the way into the reception area and looked down at me, waiting for me to speak. Taking a huge breath, I looked at the officer sat over the counter. "Hello, I'd like to report and attempted rape…" I was nearly crying, I said it so quietly I was surprised she heard me. "Of course, please follow me this way into an interview room," she smiled at me as she spoke but I could tell she felt sorry for me. I hated that. I never wanted anyone to feel sorry for me. "another officer will be with you shortly, please just call me if you need anything!" she told us as she left the room. A short while later DI Harvey came in and explained how things would work. I was simply to tell him everything that happened. Including the night before. This would be hard, Jesse would hate hearing everything but I needed him there. "Well it all started Friday night…"
Jesse POV
This was harder than I thought. I had to listen to my girl describe everything that had happened. She talked about the night before, I was gobsmacked that she hadn't told me. Maybe that's why she seemed a little bit off that night. If she'd told me I would never have let her go back to that place! I felt sick to my stomach as she told DI Harvey everything that happened. I wanted to kill him. I needed to let my anger out.
After a few hours we were allowed home. Beca wanted to be dropped off at her dorm so she could pack some things since she was going to be staying at mine for a few days while the police questioned Luke. They were bringing him in today to be questioned but they thought that Beca shouldn't be alone just in case he is released and comes after her. I offered to stay but she wanted to be alone so I headed back to the house and went to the gym out back. I put on my gloves and started warming up on the punch bag. Each hit I pretended was Luke, I let all my anger out. I'd never hit this hard before, never worked out this hard, this rough before. After about an hour my knuckles were hurting, I took the gloves off and saw that they were already turning a deep shade of purple. I held onto the punch bag, resting my forehead on the leather I cried. I'd never cried so much before, these were tears of love, of hurt and of anger.
