We're happy, free, confused,
and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical.
Tonight's the night when we
forget about the deadlines
"I'll see you after rehearsals okay?" Jesse asks. Beca nods and pecks his lips. She turns towards the gym to see other Bellas walking in.
"See you afterwards." Beca said before walking towards the gym. Beca looked back to see Jesse watching her walk there, she rolled her eyes at his behavior; he always had to make sure that she was safe.
Beca walked in to see other Bellas walking around examining the boards that had pictures of other generations of the Bellas. Aubrey and Chloe were writing on a large white board and the rest of the Bellas were mingling.
"Okay. Sopranos in the front and altos in the back. As you can see, Kori is not here. Last night she was Treble-boned. She has been disinvited from the Bellas." Aubrey says motioning to the seats. Beca was in awe, that oath was real!
"That oath was serious?" Beca asks, hoping no one can notice the surprise in her voice. When she looked around, she saw that only Amy was looking at her oddly.
"Dixie Chicks serious. You can fool around with whoever you want to, just not a treble." Aubrey says, eyeing all of the girls.
"That's not gonna be easy. He's a hunter." Stacie said, motioning to the lower half of her body. What the hell?
"You call it a dude?" Beca asks, more interested in Stacie's reasoning. Stacie just nodded and winked at her.
"Stacie, the Trebles don't respect us and if we let them penetrate us, we are giving them our power." Aubrey says motioning her hands around them.
"Not a good enough reason to use the word "penetrate." Fat Amy says obviously creeped out by Aubrey's description. Beca has to agree with the other girl by finding it a little odd that Aubrey would even put that statement that way.
"So, does anyone here have anything to confess?" Aubrey asks eyeing each girl with an intensity that would melt a snowman. But it would take more than that to get to Beca. All of the girls looked at each other as if trying to figure out. Beca could feel a couple of gazes on her but she tried to ignore it. She looked over to see Stacie and Fat Amy looking over at her, she sent a glare their way and they looked away. Did they see anything? Why would they suspect her?
"It was an accident. I…" Mary Elise starts and Beca's eyes widen. Out of anyone she would suspect, it wouldn't be her.
"Turn in your scarf and go." Aubrey said curtly. Beca watched surprised as the girl gets up to go.
"Slut," Amy coughs and Beca glares at her again; but Amy won't meet her gaze.
"Take your chair." Aubrey said motioning to the chair that Mary Elise left. Mary Elise had a look of pure despair on her face. She grabbed her chair and started to quickly drag it away. Beca looked on in surprise. She dropped the chair and ran out, her sobs echoing in the gym.
"Was that necessary?" Beca asked, looking back at Aubrey. She really didn't want that to happen' to herself or anyone else. Why did Aubrey think that it was right?
"This is war, Beca, and it is my job to make sure that my soldiers are prepped at go time with three kick-ass songs sung and choreographed to perfection. And there are only four months until regionals. So if you have a problem with the way I run the Bellas, then you should just…" Aubrey said, trying to keep her breathing under control and stop the bile from rising in her throat.
"Don't stress Aubrey. Relax. We don't want a repeat of what happened last year." Chloe said soothingly to the blonde.
"What happened last year?" Lily asked.
"What are you saying?" Aubrey asks, her eyes wrinkling at the ends trying to decipher what she said.
"What happened last year? And do you guys wanna see a dead body?" Lily whispered. The rest of the girls nodded in agreement at seeing what had happened last year. Amy pulls out her phone and searches it on YouTube. They all lean in to watch the video.
Beca is disgusted by what she sees. Watching Aubrey vomit on people in the middle of a performance was something she never needed to see again. But something she would show Jesse just to get on his nerves.
"Ooh click on "Guy Pukes on Cat." Stacie says pointing at one of the recommended videos.
"Enough! It happened. It's over. We will practice every day for at least two hours, seven days a week. And I trust you will add your own cardio." Aubrey says, as if practicing to be a drill sergeant. Beca rolls her eyes and tries to keep herself from just saying nope and leaving.
"Why cardio?" Beca asks. She is terrible at almost all things physical. Jesse disagrees, but his opinion is biased.
"Yeah, no, don't put me down for cardio." Fat Amy says raising her hand.
"Okay, moving on. This is a list of all the songs that we have ever performed. And you will notice that we only do songs made famous by women." Aubrey says while handing out papers that would help 'prepare' them.
"There's nothing from this century on here." Beca says, looking at the selection.
"Because we don't stray from tradition. Now this is how we will become champions." Aubrey says while flipping over a board that is covered in writing. Beca is pretty sure that her jaw hits the floor when she sees this.
~Pitch Perfect~
"Okay, I'm calling it." Aubrey yells out, panting heavily at how exhausting it is to train the new Bellas.
"Thank God I asked to go to the bathroom three hours ago." Lily says.
"Nothing. I hear nothing." Aubrey says exasperated at the young Bella.
"Hey Aubrey. Did we just learn the same choreography from that video?" Beca asked as she mentally went over what they had just done. They had done the same, what the hell was this?
"Okay don't forget to pick up your performance schedules. We have a gig next week. That's right. Next week." Aubrey says to the group that was preparing to retreat. Beca rolls her eyes and cannot wait to get away from this monster bitch.
"Okay, hand in, Bellas. Hands in a-ca-bitches!" Aubrey says as she and Chloe put their hands in the middle of the circle. The rest of the Bellas cautiously put their hands in.
"Okay." Aubrey states, making sure that they all would stay in place.
"Sing "ah."" Aubrey starts hoping they all would be able to do this correctly.
"Ahhhh…." Fat Amy starts singing. Beca has to bite her lip to stop the chuckle from escaping.
"No, no, no. It's actually on three, Fat Amy. Alright on three. One, two…" Aubrey says as she and Chloe sing in perfect harmony while the other Bellas are incredibly unsynchronized.
"Okay, we will work on that first thing next time. Okay guys." Aubrey concedes as the entire group sighs in relief; of it all being over. Beca was looking forwards to meeting with Jesse after this for their shift at the radio station.
"Beca, a word?" Aubrey asks as Beca prepares to leave. She stifles a groan and hangs back, walking towards Aubrey again.
"What's up?" Beca asks, readjusting her bag. Beca hoped that this wouldn't take too long; Jesse was waiting to walk with her to the radio station.
"You know you'll have to take those ear monstrosities out for the Fall Mixer." Aubrey warns looking at the ear spikes in Beca's ears.
"You really don't like me, do you?" Beca asks partially sarcastic.
"I don't like your attitude." Aubrey replies honestly. Beca gives herself props for actually telling the truth instead of being an innocent seeming back stabbing bitch.
"You don't even know me." Beca states. And its true Aubrey didn't know one thing about Beca besides appearances.
"I know you have a toner for Jesse." Aubrey accused. Beca's forehead creased. What the hell has she come up with now?
"A what?" Beca asks, clearly confused.
"A toner. A musical boner. I saw it at Hood Night. It's distracting." Aubrey defined. Beca knew it was true, but she was not about to allow Aubrey to have the satisfaction.
"Yeah, that's not a thing and you're not the boss of me. So…" Beca says trailing off. Trying to find another way to distract the blonde.
"You took an oath." Aubrey says. Meaning your word means a lot to Beca. The fact that she will break this oath, and she knows that she will break it; doesn't help her when she is talking to Aubrey.
"That oath cost you two girls already today. I'm pretty sure you need me more than I need you." Beca says agitated with the whole situation.
"I can see your toner through those jeans." Aubrey says trying to get to Beca in any way possible.
"That's my dick." Beca says huffing. She walks towards the door the fastest she possibly can. She pushed open the door and the cool fall air breezes past her. She looks around searching for where Jesse was waiting.
Beca almost jumped a few feet in the air when arms wrapped around her waist. She was starting to struggle when she felt a deep warm breath chuckling against the skin of her neck.
"Oh my god," Beca said as she turned around in his arms. He leaned in to kiss her lips but Beca turned her head at the last minute and his lips came in contact with her cheek. She only moved when she remembered the oath and was convinced that she saw Stacie and Fat Amy out of the corner of her head.
"How were rehearsals?" Jesse asks, slightly peeved that she resisted his kiss. Beca scrunched her nose.
"Aubrey is a major a-ca-bitch." Beca said taking his hand and throwing her other hand up in exasperation. They walked hand in hand towards the station. Beca stayed silent after that; she didn't want to bring up Aubrey any more.
"What about your Treble rehearsals?" Beca asks, looking up into his chocolate brown eyes.
"They're fun," He says. Beca raises an eyebrow in question. They had looked on YouTube together a couple weeks ago at old performances and they looked extremely hard.
"Just fun? Is there like strippers and candy all around?" Beca asks sarcastically. Jesse smiles at her and it takes her breath away.
"Of course, but don't forget about the popcorn and movies." He adds laughing. She shakes her head at him as they walk inside the radio station.
~Pitch Perfect~
Jesse raises another one of the records in front of his face, just to make Beca laugh. Beca smile at him, being… well him. He was making faces at her and she knew that he just wanted to make her laugh and smile. And he had succeeded at that; many times. She had opened up to him a lot more in the past years.
Beca can hear Jesse's footsteps get closer. She was trying to move one of the CDs on one of the top shelves, which she couldn't reach. She could feel that his body was a hairs length away from her own. He took the CD from her hand and easily placed it on the shelf. Beca huffed in annoyance and crossed her arms over her chest. Jesse's hand skimmed her hip and Beca unconsciously leaned back into his touch.
"Jesse?" They can hear Luke ask. He groans and looks over to the booth.
"Yeah." Jesse says, walking away from Beca into Luke's line of sight.
"I'm starving so could you…?" Luke says trailing off, knowing that he would get the point. Jesse was sick of Luke making him get his lunch; but he was in no place to complain. He didn't need Luke to fire his ass, especially when this was an excuse to spend more time with Beca.
"You want me to get you lunch? You should probably lay off the burgers. You're not gonna be 22 forever, you know." Jesse said to his boss.
"Yeah, I think I'm good." Luke says pulling up his shirt and looking at his abs.
"He's good. You're good." Beca says to him, blushing. Beca enjoys getting under Jesse's skin. Whenever she has the outcome has always been worth it.
"And the chess match continues." Jesse mutters.
Beca chuckles softly and went back to stacking CDs. She started humming Don't You Forget about Me to herself. She added in her own small dance moves. She suddenly stopped when she realized what was happening. She was turning into that girl. Beca was not used to being happy with her life. She was mostly miserable when her parents were fighting and then their divorce. In high school she had been depressed until a certain nerd moved to town their freshman year and decided to bug her the whole time.
Beca reads one of the labels for the CD and sees that the next few have to go upstairs. She cradles the box on her hip and makes her way up the stairs over to the shelves. She heard a slam of the door to the station and guessed that Jesse was back.
She heard the rush of footsteps up the stairs and didn't bother to turn around. She placed one of the CDs on its shelf and felt arms encircle her. They turned her around forcefully and then she was facing Jesse. His eyes almost black with lust, this is why she enjoyed getting under his skin.
He pressed his lips to hers and she eagerly responded, he grabbed her arms and held them above her head; so he could have full power. It wasn't often when he had control; he didn't want to worry about hurting her.
His other hand inched down and started to pull up her shirt. After a slight bit of struggling with only a single hand he had gotten her top, pants and shoes off. She was standing there in her bra and panties as he leaves love bites down her collarbone and breasts. Beca loved every minute of it.
Beca let out an embarrassing loud moan and one of Jesse's hands moved to cover her mouth.
"We have to be quiet; we don't want Luke coming up here, do we?" Jesse whispered with his warm breath tickling her neck. Beca nodded against his hand, amazed by this version of Jesse.
He let her hands move down to remove his shirt and pants. He resisted the urge to groan when her hand accidently brushed against his hardness. Jesse pins her against the wall and Beca can feel the throbbing between her legs increase. He moves himself so he is in between her legs and he soothes the ache for a moment before he moves her to the couch that was hidden by the various shelves.
They fall on top of the couch and Jesse is able to pin Beca down, their size difference is a major benefit at the moment for Jesse. Beca enjoys the way that Jesse is putting his weight on her, his hand slips behind her back and she arches up to meet him. The sound of the small click of her bra coming undone is music to her ears and she couldn't be more thankful. He flung her bra to the floor and he kissed her hard on the mouth. His hands were probing her sides and his hands would slowly sink lower and he would hook his fingers in her panties and then remove them as a form of delicious torture.
Beca tried to take them off herself, but Jesse just held her hands above her head again. She groaned lightly in annoyance and looked to see his lustful eyes glittering. He slowly dragged his fingers down her sides and traced the outline of her panties. He finally ended his torture and pulled them down and smiled at the sight. Jesse quickly got rid of his own underwear and kissed her hard on the lips and needing the skin on skin contact.
Their bodies were moving against one another with enough momentum that they went toppling off of the couch and onto the floor. They paused for a moment and hoped that Luke heard nothing. Jesse quickly regained control when they were sure that Luke was not going to come up and check on them. Jesse slammed into her and Beca bit her lip until she tasted blood to stifle the moan. He had created a delicious pain and Beca craved it like a drug.
Jesse thrust into her again and again and he was able to fill Beca to the hilt and then pull out quickly enough that it turned her into a bumbling mess. When Beca saw the signs that he was about to orgasm soon, too she shifted her hips slightly. Jesse slammed into her harder afterwards as a punishment. When Jesse looked into her eyes he knew that they would be coming at about the same time. He leaned down to her ear.
"Let go," He says whispering breathlessly into her ear. Beca swallows and can feel the tingle in her lower regions. She bites her lip to stifle the moan that is trying to be ripped from her throat. Her orgasm rips through her and she slumps against the floor. Jesse's thrusts become more and more erratic until he lets go himself. "I love you," He says under his breath. Jesse leans against her after the intensity of the orgasm she had caused.
"Oh my god," He muttered. He pulled out and lay down next to her. A giggle bubbled up in her throat as she looked at him with sheen of sweat against his forehead.
"We need to get dressed," He says leaning over to kiss her forehead before standing up. Beca takes a deep breath and sits up. Jesse is slowly getting dressed again as Beca stands up. She takes her time as she puts her clothes back on. She can see that his eyes are still glued to her and she smirks.
"I'll be downstairs," Beca says as she heads to the main floor of the radio station while Jesse finished getting dressed. Beca walked back to where they were previously stacking CDs and thought she heard giggling from behind a shelf. Beca walked around carefully peering over the shelf to see Fat Amy and Stacie on the other side talking and making obscene gestures.
Beca really hopes that they saw or heard nothing. But by the gestures they are making Beca would bet that they knew something. What if they had seen or heard something? Would they tell Aubrey?
"What are you guys doing here?" Beca asks as both of their heads shoot up. They send devious smiles her way and she instantly is worried.
"We just came by to see what is going on." Amy replied while making hip thrusts in her direction. Beca's eyes widen as she realizes that they do know what is going. Jesse is walking down the stairs right at that time and in Beca's luck his Trebles hoody is lying by the crate. Stacie raises a finely done eyebrow at her and Beca sighs.
"So Beca you want to tell us about him." Stacie said, while taking a step closer to Beca. She realized that it was all over. She would be kicked out of the Bellas and not be able to go to LA. She sighed and ran a hand through her slightly mussed hair. When Amy noticed that Beca wouldn't tell them anything she sighed loudly.
"We won't tell Aubrey if you tell us the details." Stacie said as she leaned against the shelf. Beca sighed at them and decided to take the risk.
"I'll be right back." She says raising a finger to give her a moment. She walks over to a few shelves over to where Jesse is still diligently stacking the CDs. His head turns at her and a smile lights up his face. She takes careful steps up to him and stops when her toes are about to touch his.
"I need to go with them," She says pointing to Stacie and Fat Amy who have moved to the end of the shelf to eavesdrop.
"Could you cover for me?" Beca asks. Jesse knows that Beca rarely left something (when she was with him) if she had to go it would be important.
"Sure," He says.
"Let me know how you are later, okay?" Jesse asks. Beca nods and he leans down to peck her lips goodbye. Beca allows it because there is not much to hide anymore from the two girls. She pulled away and whispered goodbye against his lips.
She walked back over to Stacie and Amy and led them out of the radio station at a brisk pace.
"What do you want to know?" Beca asks.
