Love is over-rated - a Jeca fanfiction

I'm Not a Softie

Beca's pov
It's been a week since I said goodbye to Natalie. I haven't left my room or spoken to anyone. I feel kinda bad for shutting everyone out but it's not like they care anyways. I roll over in bed and turn my phone on. I squint as the bright light burns my eyes. After a couple minutes of my phone vibrating constantly it stops to show a heap of notifications. I groan as I swipe away most of the boring ones I stop when I see my message notifications. 23. I open them up and begin to read.

Work:
Hey Beca, take as much time off as you need, your roommate said you were struggling.

Sorry for your loss by the way.

Hey Beca, letting you know someone wants to record with you when you get back.

I sigh as I reply with some formal shit.

8 are from friends and family apologising for my loss and then there are 12 beautiful messages from Jesse

The Nerd:
Hey Weirdo, don't shut Chloe out. She called me she's worried about you.

Do you need anything Becs?

Missing you. Hope you're doing alright xx

I've come to the realisation that you've probably turned your phone off.

Beca, you are the most beautiful human being on this planet. What happened to Natalie was not your fault. If she were here she'd tell you that herself.

I love you Beca.

I called work for you. Chloe didn't want to so I told them I was another roommate of yours, totally bought it.

Ice cream. Chocolate. In your freezer. Brownie points for Jesse xx

You still haven't eaten them :( hope you come out soon xx

I'm watching breakfast club, wanna join?? Xx

I miss you xx

Beca?

I smile at the messages as a warm feeling grows in my stomach. I roll onto my back and cover my face with my hands, "Chloe!?" I smile as I hear the red head come running down to my door, "Beca! Can I come in?" I can tell she's trying to hide the excitement in her voice, "yeah." I move my fingers so I can see her when she comes in. "Becs, you look like shit." We both burst out laughing as Chloe jumps on my bed sitting next to my stomach. "Chlo..." I cover my face again giggling like a little girl, "I love him." I move my hands so I can see Chloe's reaction. Her face lights up with a huge smile as her squeal deafens me, "finally! How are you gonna tell him? How are you gonna tell him?" I shrug as I look back at my phone, "that's why I called you in here genius." A silence fills the air as we both begin to think. After a minute Chloe lets out a gasp, "Becs, I have the start of an epic idea."

I take a deep breath before knocking on the door. I don't look like a total mess anymore, thanks to Chloe. The door opens and I see Benji's face light up. I quickly cover his mouth with my hand and place a finger on my mouth. He nods quickly as I take my hand away, "his room?" I mouth the words as Benji nods and opens the door wider. I quietly walk over to Jesse's door carrying my plastic bag in both hands before knocking on his door. "What do you want, Benji? I'm busy!" I smile at the sound of his voice and knock harder on the door. I hear him groan, obviously annoyed, and I have to hold back a giggle. The door opens quickly with a very annoyed Jesse standing there. He looks into my eyes and grins. That grin that I love. That grin from christmas, "you're wearing the necklace" I giggle and nod as I pass him the bag. "can I come in?" He nods vigorously and I go sit on his bed, "well, go through the bag!" He smiles as he closes the door and sits next to me. He pulls out the first thing, a huge bag of popcorn. A contagious grin spreads accross his face. I lean my head against his shoulder as he pulls out the other things. A fluffy blanket, a big bowl and a copy of The Breakfast Club. Jesse looks at me, unable to sit still, "right now?" I smile and nod, "on one condition. You have to be at my place at 6:00 tonight." He nods seriously before rushing over to his television and getting the movie ready, "go make the popcorn, nerd" he grabs the bowl and the popcorn and heads out of the room. I'm left in the room alone. I begin to arrange the pillows so they're comfortable and I lie under the blanket, waiting. Jesse comes in with the popcorn, I lift the blanket and he crawls in with me. I smile as he puts his arm around me. I look up at him and kiss him on the cheek before resting my head on his chest, "I love you, Becs" I smile to myself before whispering, "I know." With the movie playing and the steady beat of his heart I drift off to sleep.
