Love And Competition (Pitch Perfect Donald fanfic)

Explanation Over Dinner

"So how have you girl's been? Did you settle in okay?" He  ased with a cheesy smile over dinner, Beca and I were sat on one side of the table and he was on the other, to my surpise, he hasn't brought up Sheila or his cruise with her, weird,

"Yeah, I'm fine," Beca answered harshly, dad flinched at her harsh tone slightly, which made me feel sorrow for him in the pit of my stomach. He is just trying to make the effort he never did and here we are shoving it back in his face, this made me feel terrible,

"Yeah, I love it here, I joined the same AC-Capella group as Beca, and all my classes a going great!" I smiled back, even though part of that was a lie, I don't love it here at the moment because I see him every day, but I didn't want to push all of my problems on to him,

"That's great, sweetheart! I so happy for you," He smiled, his eyes becoming bright again. We continued eating in silence, but unlike before this silence was quite comfortable! The food here was amazing, I had never been to this part of town, this seemed like where the high end people come,

"So dad, are you going to tell us why your really back early?" Beca snapped breaking to silence, an awkward atmosphere fell upon us,

"What do you mean sweet pea?" He smiled, faltering slightly,

"Cut the crap, why are you here?" She demanded,

"To see my two daughter of course," He replied quickly,

"Bullshit, you have never put us before Sheila, so why now?" She partly laughed which brought the whole room to silence,

"Lower your voice, Beca," Dad scolded,

"No! Not until you tell us what's up!" She raised her voice even more, probably to piss him off,

"Okay" Shut up and I will tell you!" He spoke, his words more calm now, Beca simply nodded, urging him to continue, which he did, " Sheila... Well, she cheated on me," He stated, his voice cracking a little, my heart stopped, this sound familiar... " I found out that it had been going on a for a while now, she was just using me to her advantage. She would use my money, my car, everything, and pretend nothing was wrong, but she tripped up. She didn't tell the person she was sleeping with that she already had a husband, so when he saw her on the ship he kissed her right in front of me, he told her that... he couldn't wait to see her that night," He looked down ashamed, as if it was his fault, now I feel even more guilty for accusing him of the extreme things I thought of,

"I'm so sorry," I reached forward and caressed his hand with mine, 

"It's not your fault, but that's what made me come back, I realized how stupid I have been choosing her over my two daughter, I have always known it but this just made me see it, you're all that I really have," His words spoke out clear, as if he had finally found what he had been looking for.

Beca was sat quiet and still, probably feeling guilty for yelling at him. I for one feel guilty for accusing him of absurd things like I did, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you so say that, it must have been hard to say," Beca spoke how and barley audible,

"It's okay, Bec, I actually feel a lot better for telling you," He settled back to his chair, at ease that we now knew  how he feels, "But, maybe I would brave forgiven her, maybe. If she had told me that it was a mistake, that she regrets cheating on me, then maybe I could have found a way to for giver her," The words he spoke raised bile in my thought, my heart stopped for a second, because I remember Donald saying that he regrets what he did, "If she showed me that she truly loved me then I would have been able to forgive her, but she didn't, she... She just left," Dad explained, by this point, I was on edge, I could have cried at any moment.

I felt a foot tap mine, I glanced up to see Beca looking at me with pitiful eyes, she obviously knew that I was thinking of Donald. I smiled at her, trying to put her at ease. 

"Thank you dad, the restaurant was so amazing," I smiled at him, "But, could you take us home now? It's getting late,"

"Of course," He smiled simply, we all raised from out seats and headed out, "Here you get in the car, I will pay the bill," He handed Baca the keys, she nodded and we both swiftly exited the elegant restaurant. With a sigh we both climbed in,

"Well... That made me feel like shit," Beca sighed, "I can't believe we accused him of the things we did," She shook her head, ashamed, I had no words, so I just nodded in agreement.

Down the road, a building caught my eye, It was tall and was illuminated by a thousand lights, a large crowed were all gathered at the door, probably waiting to get in. Above the door was a sign, which read, STROM 47. For some reason I felt the urge to go, I hadn't been to a club before, I wasn't old enough, but I think I could get in.

"Tell dad I saw someone, and I am going home with them," I told Beca,

"What, why?!"

"Because I'm going in there," I directed to the club, pushing open the door, I leaped out of the car,

"Robyn! You can't go in there!" She yelled, but by the time I was out of the car it was too late to get my back in it, I was already running down the street. I have no idea why I was doing this, I have no recollection of ever wanting to go to a club apart from now, I don't understand myself to be honest. By the time in half way down the street I can feel to music pumping through my body.
