Secrets

Extended Family

It had been two months since Bella died; luckily Beca wasn't arrested for assisted suicide. She hadn't taken her medication either which Chloe assumed was helping as she was no longer holding everything in and often spoke her mind. While the younger girl was still broken and morning her sister, she was still evidently more relaxed than before. 

It was early in the morning, about three am when Chloe woke up at someone banning around in her dorm. She grabbed a baseball bat and made her way out of her room but relaxed as she saw Beca starring at a pile of cups on the table.

"Becs? Are you okay?" Beca looked up, tears in her eyes as she shook her head. Chloe made her way over to her and took her in her arms.

"We learn't cups together but none of these sound the same." She said sadly, sighing into Chloe's shoulder.

"Hey, do you remember learning and exactly how it sounded?"  Beca nodded. "Then you don't need to do it again, you have that memory that you can always replay in your head." 

"But what if I lose it and I don't remember."

"That wont happen Princess, I promise you. You've remembered for nearly half your life without thinking about it so you will defiantly be able to remember it from now on. Now, why don't we go to sleep?" Beca nodded and followed Chloe into her room. Beca had been sleeping there constantly and had basically moved in; much to Aubrey's dismay but she had developed a respect for the girl, she may even start to become friends with her now that Aubrey knew her better.

Beca was walking back from one of her classes when Jesse ran up to her and grabbed her into a hug. "Oh my god, Beca. I heard what happened and I'm so sorry. Amy told me some stuff and I've seen the papers. Are you okay?" He asked with a concerned look.

"Yeh Jesse. My sister is now dead as well if you didn't know about that and I'm off my meds so you probability don't want to be around me for too long any more."

"Chill, I ain't going anywhere and I'm sorry about your sister but we never got to see any movies. Now, I know you don't like them but I want to give you a full moviecation. Get your mind off things.. It'll be fun." Beca thought for a moment before smiling and nodding. "Is now good?" 

"Yeh." She said, nodding again and getting her phone out to text Chloe.

"Hey baby, Jesse is giving me a moviecation to get my mind off thing but I'll make it up to you tonight with a date, okay? Xx"

"Okay Princess. Miss you and have a good time but don't got cheating, it would break me. Xx"

"Of course I wont, you can come too if you want, I'm sure Jesse wont mind. Xx"

"No. It's okay. See you later. Xx"

The two had reached Jesse's dorm at this point and just entering the door as a dove landed on Benji's shoulder. "Hey Benji, congrats on getting into the trebles by the way." Beca said, giving the boy a hug and surprising him.

"Uh, hey Beca, thanks and you seem to be in a good mood."

"No, I was just always in a bad mood before so it seems like it." The boy nodded and headed out of the room to give the two some peace and quiet for the movies.

The breakfast club had just finished as tears rolled don the brunettes face. "Uh, Beca, can I talk to you about something?" Jesse asked, turning off the screen and sitting up. Beca just smiled and nodded while wiping away the tears. "Yeh, I saw some photos of the guy who did that stuff, your dad, and I just wanted to see if it's the same guy I think it is. I think I know him and he's been missing for a while. He was weird and nuts and never made sense but I love him. Well, loved. If this is him then I'm so glad he is gone, I thought he was different but I never saw him much. He was always cooped up in his work. Any way, this is the guy." 

Beca took the photo from Jesse and studied it, fresh tears forming in her eyes as she threw the photo to the floor. "That's him." She said weakly, welcoming Jesse's hug. "Who is he. To you I mean." 

Jesse let out a long breath. "He's my dad too. He wasn't much of one, he was always working. But he always said that I could be as happy as an unborn baby and he spent so much money on my as a child. Always saying he was so close and almost ready. One night he came back covered in blood and wouldn't answer any questions, the next day things just carried on as normal. Does any of that make sense?"

"How old were you?" Beca asked.

"Uh, seven. I'm still two years younger than you as I passed high school quickly and git a scholarship here. Why?"

"I was nine when my dad shot my sister and my mom. Me must have known she was cheating for years before she got pregnant. He predicted it. He wanted someone to torture. You're half wolf right?" Jesse nodded. " Then he was planning to kill the baby and then pretend you were him and kill you along with me and Bella. But why didn't he get a hold of you too?"

"I was with Kieran remember...He couldn't have if he was rushed and had to get you there." Jesse explained, hugging Beca closer and kissing her forehead. 

"i'm so sorry Jesse..." Beca said, more tears flowing down her face as she buried her head into his chest. Soon she fell asleep in his arms. 

Jesse lifted her up easily, she didn't weigh much, and carried her the short distance to Chloe dorm where he knew she was likely to be staying. 

Chloe opened the door to him and was surprised to see him carrying her girlfriend. Once Beca was set on the bed Jesse went about explaining the evening and how they should probability talk it out more. 

"Hey, tell her that I'm always around if she needs me. I've always wanted a sister..." He smiled and said goodnight as he left the dorm and headed back to his own, tiredness taking over his thoughts.
