Chapter 18

Beca's POV

I know I shouldn't have snapped at Bree. She was just trying to be nice, but I'm tired of her acting like she is better than me. I don't even think she realizes she's doing it anymore. I know she hasn't even thought about what happened last night. She is the queen of compartmentalizing her thoughts. I wish I could do that. I was expecting dad to be upset with me and I was mentally ready to come out to him. Aubrey didn't plan on it, she wasn't prepared to tell him. She's also never had to deal with him hating her or with him being disappointed with her, I've dealt with both. She will have a breakdown about it soon.

I feel my phone buzz and look down to see a text from Chloe. She's asking if I am ok. I quickly reply with a yeah and continue walking around. I honestly don't really know where I am anymore. I have been walking for a little over an hour lost in thought. I usually do this when I am angry and need to cool down. I see a bench a little further up the path and decide to sit down for a while. I didn't realize how bad my feet were hurting. I grab my phone and text Jesse to come pick me up since he has his car up here and I am now freezing. I send him my location since I'm not quite sure of the exact place I am at, just some form of a park. After about 10 minutes I see Jesse heading up the path.

"Hey Becs whats up?" He says as soon as he is standing in front of me. "Are you ok? You look like you've been crying."

"What?" I lift my hand up to my face, sure enough my cheeks are wet. I don't know when I started crying. I hastily rub the tears away with the back of my hand "Where did you park?"

"Ummm just down the street a little." I get up off the bench and start heading towards the street when I feel him grab my arm. "Becs are you sure you're ok? We can talk about it if you want to. I'm here for you."

"That's great Jess, but I'd really like it if we don't talk and if we just go back to campus so I can go lock myself in my room." I pull my arm out of his grip and continue to walk towards his car. We both get in and Jesse starts driving back to campus.

"Alright Becs, what's going on? And don't give me a bullshit answer. I know you and I know that you need to talk about it with someone. Stop pushing me away." He's right I do need to talk to someone about it and he is the best option I got.

"Ughh fine." I take a deep breath "I came out to my dad last night and… it didn't go well."

"I'm sorry, Beca. What happened?"

"Well I told him and then he went of on some fucking rant basically about what a shit daughter I am and how perfect Bree is. Then out of nowhere Bree decides to come out to him as well. Then that set him off even more and he stormed out. Haven't heard from him since last night. Not even an apology text."

"Wait a minute back it up Aubrey's gay also?" I forgot I never told Jesse about her and Stacie.

"No, she's bi. But she's dating Stacie."

"STACIE'S GAY?!" Jesse looks completely shocked now

"No, I think Bree said she's bi too. I'm not really sure though. Anyway you're missing the point Jess."

"I'm pretty sure the point is you're dad is and always has been an asshole and despite that he's your dad and you love him. Also as much as you hate it his opinion of you matters, so even though you don't want it to, it affects you a lot how he reacted last night. Am I right?" Fuck how does he know me so well.

"Yeah, you're pretty spot on."

"I know you better than you think." He chuckles. "Alright now that we got that out of the way what else is bothering you. I know how much your dad hurt you but you never cry over him, so something else must've happened." Damn. He's good.

"I got into a huge fight with Bree earlier. We both said some things, well maybe more so me then her. I really messed up this time Jess. She's been a great sister to me and I screamed hurtful things at her. And I did it in front of all of the Bellas. She's never gonna forgive me now."

I feel the tears start to fall. Before I know it I'm full on sobbing. I'm not even trying to hide it. I feel the car come to a stop, Jesse must've pulled over. All of a sudden I feel arms around me. Usually I would get mad at him and tell him he's breaking our number one rule of no touching, but somehow he knows I need this. I lean more into the hug and bury my face into his shoulder. I don't know how long we sit like this, but Jesse holds me until the tears finally stop coming. I lift my head up and pull myself out of the hug and wipe my face.

"I hope you enjoyed that, because that's all the physical contact you're getting the rest of the year." I say after a couple minutes. Jesse laughs. And I can't help but smile.

"Man you really hate having sweet and sentimental moments with me. You couldn't say a simple 'thanks Jesse, you're the best!' Or even tell me you love me?" I make a disgusted face at that. "Oh come on Becs I know you love me, you can't deny it!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night loser."

"I love you too Becs. I'm sure if you go talk with her and apologize she will forgive you. You're both going through something right now. Just give it some time if you need to. Now let's go back to the dorms so you can get cleaned up, then we're getting some dinner before you hull yourself up in your room." I groan. "Don't complain. I don't want you to die because you weren't fed."

"Fine."

We finished driving back to the dorm. We walk up the stairs of the building and Jesse follows me to my room. I give him a questioning look.

"I'm not risking you ignoring me so I'm gonna wait in your room. I wanna make sure you actually get ready so we can go eat."

"Perv."

No matter how much I protested he refused to leave my room. Opting to stay in my room while I quickly showered. Once I was finished I came back and threw on a sweatshirt and some jeans.

"Alright. Let's go, I'm actually pretty hungry."

"Great! I heard that they have pizza in the cafeteria tonight!"
