Come out tonight

Beca looked at her phone. She could not fucking believe that Jesse of all people was texting her. Beca was sat in her dorm the day after Jesse yelled at her. It was one pm and she hadn't done anything the previous night or that morning- to be honest she was just taking the opportunity to play her music loudly while Kimmy Jin was out.

Are you insane?

Beca lay back and rested her head against the wall, awaiting Jesse's reply. She was genuinely shocked that he'd even contacted her.

Her phone started to ring and she pressed accept with a sigh.

"Hi." Beca's voice was cold.

"Hey Beca," Jesse sounded quiet on the other end of the line. "So, me and Fat Amy and Bumper and Stacie are going out tonight. I think it'd be nice if you came."

"Why do you think I would go?" Beca asked incredulously.

He was silent for a moment and Beca could hear him exhaling frustratedly.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you," he said finally.

"You're not sorry if you meant what you said," she waited for him to say something but he didn't. "Did you mean it?"

"Of course I meant it!"

"Then what are you expecting? Are you expecting me to just stop liking Chloe and go out with you instead?"

"No. Beca I want you to end it with her."

"Why?"

Beca was sat up down, getting flustered with anger.

"It's wrong."

"How is it wrong, we're two people that like each other?"

"She's a teacher dating her eighteen year old student. It's SO WRONG!" his voice was raised now.

"Fuck you Jesse, I'm never going to date you so leave me alone!"

"I don't want you to date me!" he yelled down the phone.

"Well stop trying to control my life just because you're angry that someone treats me better than you do!" Beca shouted back.

"How does she treat you well? She told you she hates you."

"So?"

"Wake up Beca! She's taking advantage of you!"

"Why are you being like this Jesse?"

"Because she's a whore and you're a fucking idiot!"

Beca's jaw dropped.

"Fuck you."

Beca hung up the phone. She just sat still for a moment, her insides burning with red hot anger. And then she grabbed her headphones and threw them across the room, punching the wall hard then punching it again until it properly hurt, until her knuckles were badly bleeding. Beca wanted to scream but she couldn't, she just curled up and the floor and let sobs shake through her small body.

"So how's Beca?" Aubrey asked.

Chloe's face immediately lit up at the mention of Beca. They were sat in the staff room at lunch, marking papers, eating sandwiches and drinking coffee.

"I'll take that excited look as a good," Aubrey said, loving the happy glint in her best friend's eyes. It'd been a while since Chloe had been this contented.

"Mhmm," Chloe agreed.

"Have you seen her today?" Aubrey asked, opening a packet of crisps.

"No," Chloe said, her face falling a little.

"You gonna see her?"

"Yeah. I'll give her a call right now."

"Okay. See you later Chlo'. I'm really glad that you're so happy," Aubrey smiled as she walked off.

Chloe smiled too. She was in fact very happy. Beca was great.

She pulled up Beca's number on her phone and pressed call, waiting as the phone bleeped.

"Uh, hello?" Beca's voice sounded quiet.

"Hey," Chloe said brightly.

"Hey, um hi Chloe."

"How are you?" Chloe asked, sitting back and chewing a pen thoughtfully.

"I'm...yeah I'm fine. How are you?"

"I'm good. So are you free today, d'you wanna do something?" There was something about Beca's voice that was ruining Chloe's happy state, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was...

"Okay," Beca agreed but she didn't sound too enthusiastic.

"Well I'll see you in class too," Chloe tried to get some life into the conversation.

"Yeah."

There was silence for a while, where Chloe was expecting Beca to say something, but nothing was said.

"Are you okay Beca?" Chloe was beginning to worry.

"Mhmm."

"You're scaring me."

"Sorry. I'm just..." She never finished the sentence.

"Honey, where are you?" Chloe asked worriedly, sitting up to try and feverishly playing with her hair.

"At home."

"Has something happened?"

"No, I'm fine," her tiny voice broke and chilled Chloe to her core.

"Beca."

"I'm fine."

"Talk to me please," she insisted.

"I'll see you later."

"Don't hang up, Becs don't hang-"

The line went dead. Fuck.

She didn't know what to do with the thirty minutes before class. Beca sounded so cut up, Chloe wanted her to be okay, she was desperate to see how she was. Damn.

"Hey," Chloe finally exhaled when she saw Beca come through the door.

Chloe stood up, leaning against her desk, waiting for Beca to come in, half expecting a hug, let alone a hello.

"Hello."

As she got closer Chloe noticed that her eyes were red. She'd clearly been crying.

"What's wrong?" Chloe asked gently, desperately wanting to reach out and hold her hand, but she didn't, because Beca's arms were tightly crossed and she was acting totally closed off.

"Jesse..." Beca admitted, digging her fingernails into her arm.

"What has he done?"

Beca shrugged and failed a smile.

"He screamed at me again," she was trying to sound fine, but her voice was undeniably weak.

Chloe's eyes fell to Beca's hands and they were bloody and bruised. She reached out and took one tentatively.

"Beca...?"

"I just got angry," she shrugged.

Chloe's eyes were brimming with concern.

"I know he's an total jerkbag... but I don't want you to hurt yourself."

Beca tugged her hand away suddenly, shocking Chloe.

"I'm not hurting myself, Christ, you're making sound like some little teenage girl that's cutting herself cos she's fat!" Beca exclaimed, her face suddenly dark and her voice suddenly harsh. "You're not my mom Chloe you're just someone I fucked one time! You don't know me!"

Chloe was speechless and Beca's eyes suddenly became remorseful again, clearly realising what she'd said. Shit.

"What the hell?" Chloe asked, voice breaking mid-word.

"I'm sorry, Chloe, I..."

Beca advanced towards her but Chloe stepped away.

"No," she backed away from Beca.

"I'm upset, I didn't mean it...fuck. I'll just...I'll just go."

"Bec, no don't..."

Beca left. She'd really messed it up this time.
