Love is over-rated - a Jeca fanfiction

The Almost Stranger

Jesse's pov
"Jesse!" I sit in the lounge room eyes glued to the movie playing on the screen but not watching it as my roommate whinges at me. "Benji I don't want to, man." I say sighing. "Jesse it's just a café and you've been moping around the house for days!" I look at him slightly offended "I have not been moping!" I say defending myself. He raises his eyebrows at me, Beca used to do that. I raise my hands in defeat, "fine, I'll go!"

Beca's pov
"Beca," Chloe says sweetly as she curls up on the couch next to me, "can you be out of the house for the next few hours?" I look at her seriously confused, "why?" She looks at her feet before looking at me, "because I've invited Luke over so he can do something wrong and I can fight with him. Then I can break up with him!" Chloe is smiling at me triumphantly, "just remember his name is Dylan." I roll my eyes as she hugs me before I pick up my laptop bag and walk out the door.

I push open the door at my favourite Internet café, "Beca! How are you?" Donald walks over to me smiling I smile back at him, "hey Donald, you never told me you were a part of the treble makers!" I begin laughing as his cheeks turn red and he ushers me to my usual table. I sit there and wait for my order to come when suddenly I see Donald coming towards me without my food. I pull off my headphones and look at him confused, "what's up?" Donald smiles apologetically, "as you can see the café is really full, do you mind sharing your seat with two other customers?" I shrug in reply and Donald smiles and gushes out a thank you. I pack away my laptop and prepare to be sociable.

I roll my eyes when I see who Donald is bringing over to my table, looks like this is going to be interesting. "Beca, hey!" Benji rushes over to sit on the other side of the table smiling his adorable smile. Benji and I have kept in touch and are quite good friends, he's a lot like my little brother. "Beca." Jesse looks like shit. He has huge bags under his eyes and his cheeks are red, it looks like he hasn't slept since I ended it with him, a pang of guilt hits me, "hi guys." I flash a meek, little smile in an attempt to be polite. Yup, super awkward.

I've been down here for an hour just making small talk with Jesse and Benji. Chloe has been updating me on her scenario, so far she's yelled at him and he's yelled back. "Yeah, so Jess really liked the new Star Wars," I bet he did, my eyes flicker over to him and I notice he's staring at me so I quickly look away, "but I thought it was a bit too much like number 4." I nod along to what Benji is saying pretending to understand every word of it. I get another text and I quickly unlock the phone:
Chloe Baby
Beca, you need to get here now! He's going crazy he's yelling and I'm scared.

I quickly grab my bags and start to leave but then I realise something, "Benji, Jesse I need your help, Chloe's in trouble." I see Jesse's eyes light up obviously understanding what's happening, "don't worry Becs, we'll help." I can't help but smile a little.

Soo, a spark of hope for Jeca? Maybe, also I'm sorry again for a short chapter but I didn't want any action in this chapter because I didn't want to lose focus from the flicker of hope for Jeca. Also, can anyone think of a title? Because I'm like majorly stuck for one...
Hope you are enjoying xx
