AN: Okay, this time I'm actually sorry for the cliffhanger.
"Jesse slow down" Chloe said keeping her voice even as she held Beca in her arms in the backseat.
"We were there this morning, she was fine. I'm not taking any chances" he said shifting the speed gear.
"Jesse slow down" repeated Chloe, yelling at him "You're not getting us killed 'cause you're scared for Beca, we all love her" she talked in an even voice after taking a deep breath.
"Thank you" she said when he slowed down.
Walking into the ER Jesse ran to reception as he held Beca in his arms.
"Shewastalkingtomethenshefainted" he said quickly to the nurse in reception.
"She was talking to him then fainted all of the sudden" Fat Amy said after him at a slower speed.
"Get me a fucking doctor" Jesse shouted
"There is no need to raise your voice sir" the nurse said to him annoyed.
"Are you kidding me?" he laughed humorlessly
"Jesse" Chloe said in a soothing voice as she put her hand on his shoulder.
Looking at her he saw Benji walk their way.
Jesse was leaning against the wall biting his nails when Aubrey, Cynthia rose, Stacie and Emily joined him. "We got stuck in traffic" Aubrey said first.
"Where is she?" Emily asked
"There" he nodded at a room in front of them. " We're waiting for Benji to come back with the tests results "
"Where's Chloe?" Stacie asked looking around.
"She's on coffee duty" fat Amy answered
"Is that Benji? " Cynthia Rose questioned nodding at Benji.
"Yeah" Jesse said looking up.
Pacing their way, Benji was smiling. "As I suspected, it's stress and fatigue."
"Thank god" Jesse said leaning against the wall again.
"She needs rest. A lot of it." Benji added
"When can we take her home?" Stacie asked
"In twenty four hours" he responded
"Are we gonna call her parents?" Emily asked
"I think, we should wait until Beca wakes up. She's fine right?" Aubrey said.
Benji nodded.
"Her mom would freak out" Emily said.
Glancing up , Jesse saw Chloe run their way
"How is Beca?" She asked handing Jesse coffee
"There's nothing serious. She's just extremely tired" Benji told her.
"You said stress?" Jesse questioned looking at Beca.
"Yes" nodded Benji.
"Am I stressing her out by my constant persistence?"
"I don't know Jesse , but it is possible, that could be one of the reasons, but I can't tell for sure." Jesse nodded curtly as he went back to biting his nails.
"Hi there" Jesse said watching Beca wake up.
"Hi" she smiled without opening her eyes.
"So, am I dying?" Beca asked sitting up.
"You scared me to death but you're fine" he smiled, a smile that didn't reach his eyes, which didn't go unnoticed by Beca.
"You fainted out of exhaustion and because you're stressed" he informed her before sipping from his coffee. Beca nodded watching him.
"What time is it?" Beca said leaning against the pillows.
"Four am" he said after glancing at his watch.
"And that's coffee number?"
"ironically, number four" he said before sipping again.
"You shouldn't have pulled an all nighter"
"I couldn't sleep, even if I wanted to." He shrugged
"How did you convince the girls to go home?" Beca asked looking around. Jesse laughed.
"Well, it is Monday. They has to go catch some sleep."
"Cynthia rose left and I didn't get to say goodbye." She said turning thoughtful " What are going to do about your work?"
"I took the day off. I'm staying with you until I get you home later" he said getting up.
"I'm gonna go get Benji" Beca nodded as he got out.
"Since you've been watching movies without me, I decided we could do that to kill time." Jesse said getting his laptop out of his back bag
"So this why you keep your computer with you all the time" Beca said making space for him to join her on the bed
"Yes." Jesse said laying next to her. "In case of an emergency"
"What are we watching?"
"The world's end. It's an English comedy"
"Oh my god" Chloe said wide-eyed as she got inside the room.
"keep it quiet, you'll wake him up" Beca whispered.
"This- I never thought the day would come when Jesse sleeps watching a movie"
"Well, he's tired" Beca said glancing at Jesse who was leaning against her shoulder.
"Not just physically" Chloe said as she took a seat in the chair next to Beca's bed.
"Don't start." Beca said watching the movie.
"You still haven't changed your mind." Chloe nodded.
"I don't want him that way" Beca said keeping her voice even.
"Yeah, sure." Beca paused the movie and looked up.
"Sleeping with him is your way of saying that you don't want him?" Chloe asked leaning against the chair.
"I'm not proud of it, but it just happened" Beca sighed
"Beca, things like that don't just happen. And you can't use the I was drunk excuse, 'cause you were merely buzzed."
"Well, it won't happen again"
"I don't get why you're doing this to yourself, and Jesse" Beca hit play ignoring Chloe
"Beca, you're gonna have to talk to someone at some point." Beca shrugged
"Stacie was right, talking to you is pointless. I swear if I were talking to a five year old I would have gotten more than shrug" Chloe exhaled
"Give me a call when you want to throw a pity party"
"And my work is done" Jesse said putting Beca on her bed.
"Thanks, Jess"
"Call if you need anything" Beca nodded.
"Is everything okay?" Beca asked the question she had been wanting to ask ever since she work up
"No, nothing is okay. I can't believe you're actually asking me that. But it doesn't matter. You just take care of yourself." He smiled at her before turning on his heels.
Beca just watched him then looked at Chloe who shrugged.
"Jesse, I know you. You can't keep stuff down. C'mon you can tell me." Beca said watching Jesse walk away.
"You want to forget we had the most amazing sex ever, fine." He put his hands up as he turned around "I won't bring it up. In fact I won't annoy you with my presence ever again. Unless you want us to stay friends" but I'm not risking you fainting again because of me.
"Okay, friends" she nodded.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Chloe groaned looking between Jesse and Beca.
"Chloe shut up" Beca looked at her friend
"No, I won't. You can't do this to yourselves."
"Chlo, I can roll with your normal invasion of privacy but not this. We wouldn't have worked anyway"
"I disagree, we work so well. But if my persistence will cause Beca any harm I can't-"
"This is unbelievable. You fainted because you were tired and stressed out" Chloe interrupted him looking at Beca.
"Tell me how are you causing her harm?" Chloe asked him.
"She's stressing over me" he said
"Aren't you Becs?" Jesse asked looking at Beca who didn't reply.
"What if she fainted while crossing the street? I won't risk that." He ran a hand through his hair.
"I'm gonna get going" Jesse said "Don't forget to take your meds before every meal. And I talked to Luke, you don't have to go to work, he said he'd come by tomorrow to see how are you doing" Beca nodded
"Okay, thanks for everything"
"You'd do the same" he waved her off walking away.
Chloe turned to Beca with her hand on her hip.
"You're a moron, a complete moron"
"You're not giving up are you?" Stacie asked him as he reached for the knob.
"No, but right now, I'm counting on my luck, 'cause no more bugging. If she wants me, she knows where to find me. Until then I'm cool with friends. I admit this is not the ideal situation but it's better than not having her at all"
"You must really love her to actually put up with her never ending bullshit"
"It's not Beca if it's not difficult" he sighed opening the door.
"You don't have to babysit me, Jess" Beca said letting Jesse in.
"I'm keeping you company, so that you won't shoot yourself out of boredom." He shrugged closing the door behind him. And because I miss you and I wanna be close to you.
"I don't get why Luke wouldn't just let work from home"
"Because you are a workaholic and need to rest"
"I've been resting for a week now"
"You still have two to go" he said watching her walk to the couch.
"Look at you, rocking them crutches" he said checking her out.
"They are so uncomfortable" she sighed sitting on the couch after she laid the crutches on the floor.
"So we're marathon-ing the Lord of the ring trilogy"
"Isn't that the one where each movie is like three hours?"
"Yes" he nodded.
"Can I get drunk at least?"
"We could do that" he shrugged placing the DVD in the player.
"I'm gonna make us popcorn" Jesse said walking to the kitchen.
"And we're out of alcohol" Beca said shaking the bottle.
"Just a sec" Jesse said getting up.
"No don't pause" Beca told him when he reached for the remote.
"Okay" Jesse jumped from the couch.
"Thanks for spending your day off with me"
"I like making you watch movies." he shrugged pulling two beers for them.
"Here you go" Jesse handed her the bottle before sitting down.
"Thank you very much." she said accepting the beer.
"I can't believe we're still in the first half of the second movie." She sighed
"Stop whining, and enjoy it" Jesse said throwing an arm over her shoulder then pulling away.
"My butt is numb" Beca said sitting up.
"Wanna go for a walk?"
Beca eyed him then said "You have dreamy eyes, you're already drunk. Coffee first?"
"Okay," Jesse said getting up. He helped Beca get up then handed her the crutches.
"So, Mexico huh?" Jesse said sitting on a stool as Beca walk to the coffee machine.
"They want me to go all the way to. Cancun, by car"
"That should be fun" he rested his elbows on the counter.
"Not when you have a broken leg. And have to spend hours with your college friends in a car who happen to be international Champs in a capella, and I googled it, it's like 50 hours drive."
"You're gonna take breaks"
"Yeah, they want to make stops. Honestly I would rather watch starwars movies, the crappy ones, all over again than go on this trip"
"Why not a trip in the states?"
"If they don't drop the whole trip thing, I'll go for San Diego, that's close enough to Mexico" she shrugged
"Your friends are awesome"
"I know they are. They are awesome nerds that I love." She said glancing at him.
"Could you get us the mugs they are up there, you'd think now that I've broken my leg Stacie would stop doing this" Beca said annoyed
"Sure" Jesse laughed getting up.
"You're so small, it's cute when you're pissed" he handed her the mugs grinning.
Beca leaned over then realized what she was about to do and pulled away.
Clearing her throat, she went to the coffee machine.
"How's work?" Beca asked trying to fill a mug while resting her weight her crutches.
"Work is meh," he said following her.
"Here, lemme do it for you" he said putting his hand over hers. Beca nodded slowly.
"You go sit down" he took the mug from her and filled it.
"You're having problems with work?" she said taking a seat while watching walk to her
"I'm not feeling it. You know when you know you can do better" Beca nodded accepting the mug from him.
"I can help if you want"
"Nice try, but you're not getting near anything remotely close to work"
Jesse smiled before sipping from his own mug hearing Beca groan.
"If you're tired we can take a break or I could hold you" Jesse said as they walked down the street.
"You just want to touch me" Beca said jokingly
"Busted" he laughed as he stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"I'm not tired" she glanced at him. "But I am getting hungry" Jesse nodded as he looked both ways before they crossed the street. "And before you ask I have the pills on me" she winced.
"Does it still hurt?" he asked watching her walk
"Yep. I should have just tied my shoelaces"
"You should have stayed in bed"
"Jesse." Beca looked at him.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to go there. Not if you don't want to." He said looking before him.
"I don't get it" Beca said watching him. "How can you be like this?"
"I feel like a total asshole for hurting you so much" Beca admitted
"You've been nothing but nice to me and here I am acting like a douche all the fucking time. Why do you put up with me? Why are still around? What the fuck is wrong with you?" Beca asked him as she stopped walking.
"Because I promised you that I would." he smiled at her.
"C'mon," he nodded for her to keep walking.
"Where are you?" Stacie asked when Beca picked up.
"My manny took me for a walk, mom" Beca said leaning against the chair.
"Now he's making sure I'm well fed" Beca said staring at Jesse's lips
"Do you want me to come pick you up?" Stacie asked.
"Yeah that would be cool. We're at the restaurant down the street" she looked out the window when he glanced at her, mouth full of food.
"How's the friends thing going on?" Stacie asked using air quotation.
"Great" they said at the same time making Stacie chuckle.
"Why did you break up again?" She asked
"We didn't even do the usual it's not you its me, Becs." Jesse chuckled watching Beca
"Look at you mature and shit, I have never seen exes act like this" Stacie said sarcastically.
Beca reached for the radio turning it on to make them shut up.
"you should have thought more before agreeing to be "friends" with Jesse" Stacie said closing door.
"What are you talking about?" Beca asked walking to the fridge.
"I can see it in your eyes. You want him, but you're in resistance" Stacie said watching Beca drown a beer and grab another.
"You can't un-feel Beca, he might be sticking around for now. But eventually he will move on"
Beca grabbed another beer then sat on a stool
"Getting shitfaced won't help your case, an apology might"
"Shut up" Beca said in annoyance.
"Just admit it"
"Okay, I want to fuck Jesse's brains out. I want him so bad. I can't stop thinking about the last time we've been together and how amazing it was. There, happy?" Stacie nodded
"Now tell him this, and stop the melodrama you started"
"No" Beca shook her head before she drank another beer.
"I'm amazed by your stubbornness,"
"I'm gonna go take a shower." She said getting up.
"And touch yourself?" Stacie guessed grabbing her phone.
"Probably" Beca said over her shoulders.
'Beca is cracking, she just admitted to me that she wants you' Stacie texted Jesse.
Jesse texted her a series of raised fists after five minutes.
AN: By now you might have figured that I just love messing with you and for that I wanna apologize.
If you want to see more of some characters let me know.
M'kay, bye.
