When the girls got home, Beca sat on the couch and watched football (only Chloe and Jesse knew she loved football), and Chloe got Beca a bag of ice for her ankle. She placed the bag gently on top of Beca's ankle and started making dinner.
Jesse knocked on the door a few minutes later. "Hey, Chloe," he said when the door opened.
"Hey, Jess," Chloe said. We're having pasta. Beca's in the living room icing her ankle."
"Hey," Beca called from the living room.
Jesse walked in and sat next to Beca. He gave her a kiss and smiled. "Hey, sweetie. How ya feeling?"
"My ankle feels shitty, but other than that, fine," Beca smiled. Jesse wrapped his arm around Beca and they watched football in silence until Chloe called them for dinner.
Beca got up on one foot. "I'm not getting back in that thing," she said, pointing to the wheelchair.
Jesse smiled. He stood up and wrapped his arm around Beca. He picked her up like a child, and carried her to the kitchen. Beca and Chloe were laughing so hard. Jesse was the cutest.
Beca finally stopped laughing. "What did I do to deserve the best boyfriend on the face of the earth?" She laughed.
Jesse chuckled. "You're you, Becs. You're the most amazing girl I've ever met. You're such a fighter."
Chloe smiled. She hugged the two of them. "You guys are the cutest!"
Even though Corey wasn't there with her, she didn't feel like a third wheel. It was different because she had spent so much time with Beca and Jesse that they were all friends together, but Jesse and Beca were super cute with each other. It made her so happy to see Beca in a good mood with a good guy.
All three of them ate their food. They tried to carry on the meal as long as possible because they knew he was going to have to get on a plane and fly 1,000 miles away.
After 2 hours of talking, Jesse got up. He looked at Beca and smiled. "May I carry your majesty back to the couch, Miss Rebeca Jade Mitchell?"
Beca smiled and stood on her good foot. "Yes you may, Sir Jesse Michael Swanson."
Jesse picked her up and carried her to the couch. Chloe smiled. "What's my royal name?"
Beca and Jesse whispered quietly for a minute. Beca finally turned to Chloe and laughed. "You're a duchess."
"What?" Chloe laughed.
"Duchess Chloe Harper Beale."
Jesse turned to Chloe. "My two favorite girls are a queen and a duchess. I'm so blessed."
Beca turned and kissed Jesse. "I'm gonna miss you King Dork."
"I'm gonna miss you too, Queen Idiot."
Chloe looked at Jesse. "It's 7:30. What time is your flight?"
"Oh shit it's at nine." He stood up.
"I'll miss you. Text me when you're on the plane." Beca stood up and kissed Jesse. "I love you."
Jesse lifted her up and spun her around. "I love you too. I'm so glad you're ok. What would we do without our queen?"
"What would I do without my king?" Beca giggled. "Love you."
"Love you too."
"Bye Jess," Chloe said, giving him a quick hug. Chloe liked that Beca was ok with that. It made her feel better about not being as close with her boyfriend.
After Jesse left, Chloe gave Beca more ice to put on her ankle. She sat down next to Beca."I didn't know your middle name is Jade. It's gorgeous."
"Really, cause I think Harper Is adorable." Beca was laughing until Chloe got really quiet. "I need some advice," She said.
"For what?" Beca asked.
"Corey hasn't responded to my text in 4 days."
"What did you send him?"
"I texted him to come and see you in the hospital."
"Aww Chlo, that's so sweet. Did he read it?"
"Yeah. I don't know what to do."
"That jerk! I say wait for him to make an effort to talk to you. If he doesn't, then that's ok. You went on one date. Did you really like him that much?"
"I agree. But I did like him a lot. Thanks, Becs. Are you doing ok?"
"Yeah, my ankle's feeling a little bit better. What time are we going to the doctor tomorrow?"
"9 o'clock. I'm going to get ready for bed. Are you?"
"Yeah," Beca said. "Will you help me out?"
"Of course," Chloe smiled, taking the ice off of Beca's ankle. "You wanna brush your teeth?"
"Yeah. I think I can just jump there. I don't want to get back in the chair."
"Ok," Chloe said, wrapping her arm around Beca so she wouldn't slip on the floor. After Beca and Chloe both brushed their teeth, they went to bed. They had a big day the next morning.
