AN: Hello, awesome people, thank you for the feedback.
Beca showered and got dressed in one of Jesse's t-shirts and a pair of sweatpants. As she blow-dried her hair she heard knocking on the door.
"Yeah?" Beca said shutting the blow dryer.
"Jesse left, I thought you'd like to know" Stacie informed
"Okay," Beca said before turning the blow dryer on again.
"Why are being a bitch to your boyfriend?"
"Good morning to you too, Stace." Beca said jumping on the couch.
"I've been watching without interfering, but you're too much." Stacie shook her head jumping next to her.
"Do not get your shrink self on me" Beca warned, turning the TV on.
"Why are you being a bitch to your boyfriend?" Stacie asked again.
"First off, he's not my boyfriend anymore. Second, none of your business" Beca said going through the channels.
"Don't be a pussy and answer me, bitch"
"Hey, that is not how you talk to patients,"
"You're not a patient, you're my friend who is in deep need of a smack to the head"
Beca shrugged, watching a cooking competition
"Beca, we can do this all day," Stacie said not tearing her eyes from the TV.
Beca ignored her.
"You don't want to talk. Okay I'll tell you what's going on. It would have been better if you just said it, but being the big baby you are, you need to hear it from someone else"
"Fuck you Stacie"
"You do not understand when people talk nice, and why are we watching the food network? you hardly ever cook"
"It became a habit to just stare at the TV when Jesse plays a movie without actually watching" Beca said giving the remote to Stacie.
Curling up, she closed her eyes as she leaned against the couch.
"When did you realize you had feelings for Jesse?"
"I don't know what you're talking about"
"You're in denial, and you will lose him eventually if you don't get some sense knocked in that head of yours"
Beca went quiet.
"You're not saying anything which means I'm right. As always."
"Or it means I'm ignoring you until you give up, Freud "
"That might work with your parents, but not me Beca, I'm gonna repeat my question. When did it finally hit you that you have feelings for your boyfriend?"
"So this why you, Chloe and Amy were acting weird about that time we had lunch together"
"No, that day we meant something, that you clearly do not seem to realize as well"
"enlighten me please" Beca said sarcastically.
"You got into this relationship exclusively without even thinking" Beca opened her eyes and sat up.
"Shit, you're right" Beca chuckled humorlessly
Beca leaned back, staring at the TV. "but the only feeling I'm feeling is hunger right now"
"Oh yeah?" Stacie laughed
"Mmhm"
"Explain to me then, why are you moping around in his t-shirt?"
"I'm not moping and he gave me this t-shirt" Beca shrugged.
"Just admit it and save yourself from the heartache"
Beca shrugged closing her eyes.
"God, you're fucked up"
"The best part is that I know"
"Which doubles the amount of fuckery, your parents should have made you see a therapist when you were a kid"
"They should have, but they were busy living their lives to notice me"
"Beca call your boyfriend and stop this mess"
"He's not my boyfriend"
"A wall has more sense than you" Stacie shook her head.
"Who invited him?" Beca asked glaring at her friends
"Wow, easy with the death glare" Chloe said putting her hands up in defense "It wasn't me"
"I did" Stacie said between sips
"I think you should lock your room's door" Amy said watching Beca
"I'll just get Kommissar to spend the night over," Stacie said watching Kommissar who was at a corner chatting
"I never got why you turn into Jelly when she's around" Cynthia Rose wondered eyeing Beca "You're not even into girls,"
"Who invited her?" Fat Amy asked
"I did. She was in town, so I gave her a call" Chloe said
"She doesn't age" Stacie remarked
"You're changing the subject at hand, why the fuck did you invite him?" I'm actually making progress
"To speed up the process-"
"What process?" Beca cut her off
"Would you let her finish?" Chloe said
"Well I'm gonna try and make it comprehensible for you," She sipped her drink thinking, "you're going through phases that will lead to acceptance in the end. You got the shock phase checked when you got drunk at her place" she nodded at Chloe "The denial, which you're going through right now" Beca arched her eyebrows at Stacie "There's still resistance that will lead to acceptance"
"Bullshit" Beca said.
"Usually people who go through these phases are facing near death, say terminal cancer for example" Looking behind Beca, she added "Mitchell, your brain deals with love and death the same- Hi Jesse"
"Love and death, a classic" he said walking pass Beca "Should have made you watch it" he nodded at Beca.
Beca grabbed the drink from Stacie hand and walked away.
"How long?" he asked looking at Stacie
"She's stubborn, I don't really know" she took the drink he had in hand
"Just keep bugging her"
"Beca, wait up" Chloe called pacing behind Beca
"What?"
"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked when she caught up with Beca
"Tell you what?" Beca said drowning the fruity punch
"Don't play dumb"
"Well, because I don't believe it." She said walking to the bar
"You are not getting drunk" Chloe grabbed Beca's hand
"I need alcohol Chlo" she said releasing herself from Chloe's hold
"Bella" Beca put down her drink and turned to the voice behind her
"How have you been?" Kommissar asked eyeing Beca
"Great" She gave her thumbs up
"You seem to have a drinking problem" she noted holding Beca's chin up
"You have really pretty eyes" Beca said looking dreamily into Kommissar's eyes
"Shit, she's with Kommissar" Chloe jumped from her seat and paced to Beca
"Who?" Jesse asked confused
"Some chick from our Bella days, Beca has this weird crush on her." Cynthia Rose explained
"Is my girl Bi?" Jesse questioned, excited looking between Cynthia Rose, Aubrey and Stacie
"Don't get too excited" Aubrey said watching Chloe grab Beca's hand.
"It's just a weird girl crush" she continued repeating Cynthia Rose's words.
"Junk, over here" Stacie called.
Emily looked around and waved their way grinning.
"Is that Emily Junk?" Jesse asked gasping
"In the flesh. A fan?" Fat Amy answered him as she joined them
"Yes," he nodded slowly
"Oh look Becs, Emily is here" Chloe said dragging Beca with her
"Legacy, you made it" Beca said walking to Emily. Hearing Beca's voice Emily turned around and walked to her.
"Of course I did" she said pulling Beca in a hug.
"Your hair smells nice" Beca mumbled
"Thanks?" Emily said confused, she looked up to Chloe.
'Just roll with it' Chloe mouthed watching Beca pull away
"So, how was your tour?" Beca asked walking back to the bar
"Two Tequila shots, please" she told the bartender
"It was as awesome as ever" Emily said resting her hand on the bar
"Here you go" Beca said handing Emily a shot
"I'm gonna go say hi to the girls" Emily said accepting the shot from Beca.
"Junk!" Stacie jumped from her seat and hugged Emily
"Long time, no see" Stacie said pulling away
"Well, you know. Work. Did I miss anything important?"
"You've been touring like crazy" Fat Amy said after hugging her as well
"So much went down, that you missed" she continued sitting down and pointing at Emily and Cynthia Rose.
"Yes we did" nodded Cynthia Rose as she got up to hug Emily
"Always a pleasure, Aubrey" Emily nodded sitting down next to her.
"Hi" she said looking at Jesse who was staring at her.
"Hi" he said back "You're really pretty"
"Don't mind him" Beca said resting her hands on Emily's shoulder "He get like this when he sees someone famous" clearing her throat, she yelled "Hey, snap out of it"
Jesse jumped in his seat then looked up to her.
"I should have tried this technique instead of kissing you" Beca said gazing into Jesse's eyes.
Emily kept looking between Beca and Jesse, who were staring at each other.
"This is what you missed" Fat Amy nudged her
"Okay," Beca said taking a deep breath. "I'm gonna go make out with that guy" she pointed at Donald
"Becs, that's Donald, who went with us to college. You don't want to do that" Chloe said, in a soothing voice
"Why are talking to me like I'm a child? I know what I'm doing, I wanna get laid tonight."
"We didn't have break up sex, Beca" Jesse jumped from his seat "Oh wait, that would be because we didn't even break up" he poked her shoulder
"You're delusional and annoyingly happy and- stop grinning" Beca pushed him and walked back to the bar.
"Who's gonna follow her and makes sure she doesn't do something she'll regret in the morning?" Stacie asked looking between her friends.
She got her respond when Chloe ran after Beca
"This is interesting" Emily said watching Jesse sit back. "Why is Beca acting like this?"
"She's in denial" Fat Amy answered her.
"She's denying what exactly?"
"That she has feelings for me. Her boyfriend" Jesse explained before sipping from his beer
"Wow. Boyfriend? She's dating you exclusively?" she asked amazed
"Yeah?" Jesse said confused by Emily's reaction.
"She's a commitment phobe" Aubrey said glancing at Beca and Chloe's direction "I think you should go do something, your girlfriend is serious about making out with Donald"
They all turned to see Beca flirt with Donald at the bar.
"That is so not like her" Emily said
"Well Beca's deep in denial, she'll do anything to prove to herself that she doesn't want Jesse" Stacie said patting Jesse's shoulder.
"Are you ladies up for an a capella performance?" Jesse asked standing up.
Once upon time
A few mistakes ago
I was in your sights
You got me alone
You found me
You found me
You found me
At the sound of his voice, Beca turned around to find Jesse singing to her, surrounded by her friends who were harmonizing
I guess you didn't care
And I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard
You took a step back
Without me, without me, without me
She made her way to him, after drowning her drink
And she's long gone
When she's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
She stood few feet away from him
"You're my friends, you're not supposed to help him" she glared at her friends
"Even your friends love me" Jesse shrugged grinning
Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Till you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard-
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk
To my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Beca sang back glaring at him as he said something to the girls.
Jesse grinned. Looking around them, he noticed a circle starting to form, before cutting her off
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this
You, you fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
Beca walked closer to him
Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of your face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad
Recognizing the pattern, she was singing back songs performed by the same artists he sang to first, Jesse laughed "Nerd"
It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it
She pushed him in the chest then walked backwards.
Jesse held a hand on his heart, rolling his eyes.
Where Did You Come From Lady
And Ooh Won't You Take Me There
Right Away Won't You Baby
Tendoroni You've Got To Be
Spark My Nature
Sugar Fly With Me
Don't You Know Now
Is The Perfect Time
We Can Make It Right
Hit The City Lights
Then Tonight Ease The Lovin' Pain
Let Me Take You To The Max
He walked forward, then did the moonwalk.
I Want To Love You (P.Y.T.)
Pretty Young Thing
You Need Some Lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender Lovin' Care
And I'll Take You There
I Want To Love You (P.Y.T.)
Pretty Young Thing
You Need Some Lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender Lovin' Care
I'll Shake You There
The girls sang along with him, making everyone in the party clap along.
Anywhere You Wanna Go
He span around as the girl sang the last line.
Nothin' Can Stop This Burnin'
Desire To Be With You
He sang looking right into her eyes, making her take a step back
Gotta Get To You Baby
Won't You Come, It's Emergency
Cool My Fire Yearnin'
Honey, Come Set Me Free
Following his guts, he step closer to her, when he saw her expression soften.
Don't You Know Now Is The Perfect Time
We Can Dim The Lights
Just To Make It Right
In The Night
He held her chin up and gazed into her eyes.
Hit The Lovin'-
You'll Never Make Me Stay
She step way from him cutting him off
So Take Your Weight Off Of Me
I Know Your Every Move
So Won't You Just Let Me Be
I've Been Here Times Before-
You've got no choice, babe
He step closer to her again
But to move on, and you know
There ain't no time to waste
You're just too blind (too blind), to see
But in the end, ya know it's gonna be me
You can't deny
So just tell me why-
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie,
Baby, bye, bye, bye...
Bye Bye
Don't really wanna make it tough,
I just wanna tell you that I had enough.
It might sound crazy,
But it ain't no lie,
Baby, bye, bye, bye
She sang back gesturing with her hands for him to go away.
Jesse ran a hand through his head thinking of a song performed by a singer she doesn't know
Then he remembered she hates Kanye west and never listens to him.
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
What I had to do, had to run from you
I'm in love with you but the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me, all the way home
"Fuck" Beca cursed as she recognized the song, making Jesse grin.
So you never know, never never know,
Never know enough, 'til it's over love
'Til we lose control, system overload
Screamin' "No! No! No! N-No!"
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
See I wanna move, but can't escape from you
So I keep it low, keep a secret code
So everybody else don't have to know
Smirking, she stepped closer to him
Woke up an optimist, sun was shining I'm positive
Then I heard you was talkin' trash
Jesse bowed down "fine, you win."
Hold me back I'm bout' to spaz
"I give up" Jesse held his hands up
Beca smirked then started to make her way to the bar, Jesse reached over and grabbed arm turning her to face him.
"The fuck?" she swore when she bumped into his chest.
Cupping her face, he kissed her.
Beca found herself holding him closer to her by clenching his shirt down. In the back of her mind she knew that what she was doing wasn't right,
I don't want this, I don't need him. She thought herself as she deepened the kiss.
I do not miss him. She wanted to pull away but couldn't, not until air became a problem.
Pulling away, she looked at him uncharacteristically making it hard for Jesse to read her. As he gazed into her eyes, he felt a slap on his left cheek.
"Asshole" she said before she turned on her heels.
Holding his cheek, Jesse watched her pace out of the party.
"It was worth a try" Fat Amy said as she stood next to him. He nodded.
"Who's going after her?" He asked looking at her friends.
"You should" Chloe said, he nodded and ran to the door.
"Beca" he called watching her walk.
"Where are you going?" he asked when she crossed the street and walked the opposite way to the parking lot.
"Beca" he called again as he ran after her
"Fuck off" she said over her shoulders.
"No" he said when he caught up with her.
"The parking is the other way"
"I know"
"Where are you going?" he asked her again
"Oh my god, shut up" she yelled at him.
"Not until you tell me where are you headed" he said at an even voice not affected by her tone.
"Home"
"You live like two hours away Becs"
"Are you encouraging me to drive intoxicated?"
"Let me give you a ride, I'm not drunk" he offered
"No thanks, I'll get a taxi" Jesse jumped in front of her making her stop.
"Beca, please" he said softly as he put both his arms on her shoulders.
Looking at him, she found herself staring at his lips. Do not-
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulled him down and kissed him.
