Bellas Boot Camp

Chapter 6

So here I am, about to do one of the hardest things in my life. Why is it so hard to understand feelings? The nerds are right though, while I try to understand he takes the worst part. And Jesse doesn't deserve that, he is a good guy, I don't want to hurt him...

Beca was lost in her thought, not feeling very well. Not only because of her hangover but also because she felt guilty. After 3 years of relationship she wasn't feeling in love any more. Something was wrong with her and she wanted to figure it out on her own, giving Jesse the chance to be free in the meantime. He would surely find someone better than her. She managed to take a little sip of coffee.

"Becaw! I missed you!" Jesse said, walking towards her table with his arms open. Beca stood up with a little smile and embraced him.

"I missed you too, dude!" And it was true, she enjoyed his company after all.

He aimed to kiss her on the lips but she moved her head quickly so the kiss was placed on her cheek. Then Beca sat down again, both hands holding her coffee, eyes on his.

"So tell me, how was the retreat?" Jesse asked nonchalantly. He noticed how Beca's face lit up as she told him everything.

"...and then we were so drunk that we made a song about Aubrey's fear of ladders!" Beca was getting tears from laughter in her eyes, Jesse could see she had been really happy around the Bellas. That made him happy too, and he laughed with her.

"You're gonna miss them, huh?" He asked, keeping the smile and reaching out to hold Beca's hand.

The brunette wiped away a tear and her smile turned sad. She couldn't speak, just nod.

"Don't worry, we can visit them and they can visit us... we can do a capella parties!" He said, and Beca put on her fake smile.

I can't do this...

"Hello, this is Aubrey Posen."

"Bree! You know it's me calling, why do you answer like that every time?"

"Just to test how many times you will ask the same question."

"Ha! How many times so far then?

"186"

"..."

"So tell me, why are you calling, Chlo? Everything alright?"

"Yeah... I just wanted to tell you something important that happened last night..."

"You kissed her!?"

"No! No Bree... ugh now I got that image in my mind, sweet hell..."

"Hahaha Ok Chloe, focus."

"..."

"Chloe!"

"Ok, ok sorry! It was your fault! The thing is Beca wants to break up with Jesse..."

"What? Wow for all the aca-gods, did she finally realize she loves you?"

"Chill out Bree, I don't think it's because of me..."

"Anyway you have to make the next move, you don't want her to get caught by someone else, right? Or what's more likely, she waiting another 3 years to look right in front of her and see you."

"Don't be rude with her Bree, I told you it's important for me that you like each other."

"Ok sorry, Chlo."
