"This tour has been my favorite one yet," Beca said into the microphone after taking a drink of her water bottle. "The Mad Love World Tour has had the best crowds by far and definitely some of my favorite memories." She turned to the side where all her friends from high school as well as her parents and Chloe's parents stood with smiles on their faces as the crowd cheered loudly.
After Beca and Emily came back from Demi's tour, they finished the school year out with their remaining friends. Beca, Stacie, and Emily had led the soccer team to another undefeated year which they celebrated with a huge party. Following Beca's graduation, she immediately went on her first headlining tour, bringing her sister on for the summer.
Jesse, Benji, Aubrey and Chloe all went to Barden University while Stacie was pulled up for major modeling gigs right after graduation. Benji and Chloe had got degrees in directing and film making while the other two both majored in the arts which led them to their promising careers in acting.
Stacie and Beca also managed to dabble in acting, establishing an even broader, more prominent career for the two. Although both women won awards for their acting, they were still known for modeling and singing.
Emily talked about dipping her toes in the acting world and Chloe and Benji both offered to give her a role in their upcoming movie but she denied it, saying she needed to focus on her music.
Jesse and Aubrey- Who got married right out of college, tend to play more serious, dramatic roles while Stacie always plays the light hearted, funny friend (her friends think she only chooses those roles because that's basically her personality.) Chloe had her fair share of roles which were pretty versatile. She starred in Bushwick, a movie about the southern states trying to secede from America, Would You Rather, a horror movie with the self-explanatory title, and a few other movies where she had to dye her hair which Beca was not happy about at all.
The brunette has made several cameos on television series- convincing Emily to come on with her, as well as starring in Trolls with Justin Timberlake. Although branching out into other genres, she still prefers playing in musicals as she wanted to stay true to herself the most she could. Beca has won numerous awards for her dramatic acting but also her roles in both musicals, Into the Woods and The Last Five Years.
Although Benji is the only one who hasn't appeared on film, him and Chloe have both won serious awards for directing. They were all extremely successful in their chosen line work and even though it wasn't always easy, they still proved to everybody just how talented the seven of them were.
There were a few times- one in particular, where they all managed to play in a movie together. At least everyone but Benji and Emily. Whenever they would star in a movie together, there would always be a contest of who would get the other to break character first. It drove every one on set crazy the majority of the time, but also made them laugh.
"I have one last song but before I sing it, I need to say a few things," she said turning back to the insane crowd, putting the microphone on the stand so she could stick her hands in her leather jacket she slipped on. "I know that nobody likes to listen to me go on and on about something they couldn't care less about when all they want is to see me perform," she laughed along with a few fans. "So I'll try to make this quick. You all know how private I am and I'm forever grateful for you all doing your best to protect my privacy but in doing that, you've also helped me open up a little more so thank you." The crowd cheered and Beca smiled for the billionth time that night, choosing to move to sit at the edge of the stage, closer to her fans. "The second thing I want to say is that even though I love touring and meeting as many of you as I can, giving you a night to remember, I've decided on going on hiatus."
Upon hearing the news, the crowd went quiet, gasps and questions feeling the room which made Beca feel terrible but she needed the break. All she's done for the past five years were tour the world with minimal breaks in between and if she was honest, she was tired and missed her friends and family; even if Emily joined her on her Mad Love world tour.
"I want to take some time to spend with my family," she started once more, looking into a girl's glossy eyes. "I promise this isn't the last tour but I need time to make better music for you all." She smiled at the blonde who wiped her eyes before making a judgement call and hopping off the stage, taking everyone by surprise in order to give the girl a hug. Beca whispered a quick 'I love you' before getting back up on the stage with the help of her security. She has definitely grown over the past six years.
"With all of that being said," she said standing back up, the microphone in her left hand. "I want to bring a few friends out." The crowd screamed even louder when her six friends from high school walked out on stage along with Christian and Christina as Beca watched a man from the stage crew bring out a stool.
"How are you guys doing?" Stacie yelled into her own mic while Beca helped Chloe up on the stool.
"What are you doing?" the redhead asked with a confused look and Beca smirked, quickly planting a soft kiss to her girlfriend's lips.
"Just sit and watch," she smiled before turning back around. "In case you're unfamiliar with my friends," she started, putting her in-ears back in. "This is my sister Emily who was literally out here dancing an hour ago," she laughed and Emily playfully rolled her eyes. "This is Stacie- my really hot model friend." The blonde winked at the shorter woman before waving at the crowd eliciting more screams. "Benji who is a big director and lastly the two actors of the group, Aubrey and Jesse!" She smiled and turned to the two blondes on the end. "This is Chloe's brother and sister, Christian and Christina."
After the crowd died down a little, Beca continued, a smile on all her friend's faces. "And my other half, the second part of Bechloe, Miss Chloe Beale!" They all stepped aside to show their friend who was conducted as hell but smiled anyway, one leg crossed over the other. "I have a song that I've yet to release but will be soon and I'm gonna perform it for the first time here tonight so if you all could leave." She trailed off, shooing her friends away.
While Beca spoke, her friends walked over to the side, picking up one rose each before getting ready to go back on as the music started playing. The brunette turned to her goofy girlfriend and began singing.
"105 is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do."
As she sang, she slowly walked over to the 24 year old who had the biggest grin on her face. One thing Chloe loved was getting to witness Beca performing.
"And you know one of these days when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough," she sang with a smile and stepped back so her friends and family could do what was asked of them.
As the crowd cheered, Jesse walked out on a stage holding his red rose, followed by Emily, Stacie, Christian, Benji, Christina, and lastly, Aubrey. To say Chloe was even more confused when she watched them walk out was an understatement but it wasn't until the each handed her a rose that things got interesting.
The redhead smiled as she held the five roses, bringing them up to her nose to smell them before bringing her eyes back to her girlfriend who sang and danced to the same choreography as her friends.
"I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me.
"Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh."
Beca had the biggest grin on her face when she sang the next verse in front of her girlfriend before walking behind her and tightly wrapping her arms around Chloe's shoulders to show her affection which didn't fail to get the crowd screaming even more.
"How many girls in the world can make me feel like this?
Baby I don't ever plan to find out
The more I look, the more I find the reasons why
You're the love of my life."
"You know one of these days when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough," She sang and stepped back in front of the redhead to look into her eyes which started to gloss over with tears threatening to spill.
"I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me."
As she went into the bridge, Cindy, John, Katherine and William all came out holding a rose as well and smiled as they handed it to the young woman. Chloe's parents pulled her into a hug, careful not to crush the beautiful roses she collected as they kissed the top of her head.
Beca walked over to Emily who grabbed the giant bouquet of roses to hand her before turning back to Chloe, watching as her mouth dropped at the sight of her girlfriend holding her favorite flower.
"And if I lost everything
In my heart it means nothing
'Cause I have you, girl I have you
So get right down on bended knee
Nothing else would ever be
Better, better
The day when I," Beca sang before her friends joined in, Jesse and Benji doing riffs ever now and then.
"I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me
"I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me."
Beca stopped singing and dancing in order to maneuver her way over to her girlfriend, carefully holding onto the roses as she did. Chloe had tears streaming down her face at this point but was still clueless on what was actually happening despite listening to the lyrics.
"Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh," her friends sang with smiles on their faces while Beca grabbed onto Chloe's free hand and pulled her up and walked to the middle of the stage.
The brunette smiled at Chloe as she looked into her light blue eyes, taking in her appearance. The redhead was wearing a blue dress that flared out at the ends with heels that she was dying to take off. Her friends and family halted their actions and just stood to the side, watching the exchange happen with giant smiles and tears of their own.
"105 is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do," she finished and let go of Chloe's hand to reach into her jacket pocket.
As soon as she pulled out the small black box while simultaneously bending down on one knee, Chloe's mouth dropped, her hand immediately going up to her mouth as tears began to fall down her cheeks.
The crowd had became so quiet that you could hear a pen drop which was honestly really cool considering there were 100 thousand fans in the sold out arena.
"Chloe," Beca said with a smile. "Six years ago today, we looked at each other for the first time. It was during my soccer game and it was cold and rainy." The brunette smiled at the memory, remembering it like it was yesterday; Chloe smiled at the nostalgia as well. "I remember your eyes being so blue and just so perfect. If I had known then that I would fall in love with you, I would have saved a lot of time doing this." She gestured to herself and the Dimond ring peeking out of the box and Chloe laughed along with her. "You've made me a better person and you've definitely saved me from my own demons. You're my flashlight," she joked with one of Emily's songs which made everyone laugh but she was being serious as well. "You've made me a better person and you inspire me every single day to be a better version of myself even if neither of us know it or not. I don't want to ever lose the feeling I get when you look at me from across the room or how my skin lights on fire when you touch me." With a squeeze to the redhead's hand and a smile, she finished with the question. "I want to spend the rest of my life showing you how much you mean to me and making you happy so Chloe Beale, will you please do me the honor of marrying me?"
Chloe didn't waste any time in nodding her head which made everyone else scream and cheer, especially Beca who dropped the mic and slid the ring on the redhead's finger before she stood, picking Chloe up and spinning her around before kissing the older woman.
"I love you," Chloe got out, resting her head on her fiancé's before pecking her lips a few times. "I love you so much that was so beautiful."
"I love you too, baby," Beca was finally able to say. "I'm glad you liked it."
They kissed one last time before she sat Chloe back down on the ground and not even 10 seconds later, they were engulfed in a huge group hug involving their friends and family.
"She said yes!" Beca screamed into Stacie's microphone and the crowd cheered even louder as if they didn't figure it out already.
"Congrats, you two," Cindy said when Beca got out of the shower and made her way over to Chloe.
"Thanks, mom," the redhead smiled as she pulled away from the hug.
"Thank you," Beca smiled and before she could say anything else, she was tackled to the ground by Christian. "What the fuck, dude. Get off me!"
"You're gonna be my sister in law," he screamed while crushing her with his body and Beca tried her best to push him off.
"Not if you kill me before I even get to walk down the aisle," she breathed out before pulling her knee up.
The 26 year old groaned and fell down beside her, moving into a fetal position while everyone else laughed.
"Come on, Bec," Jesse said with gritted teeth. "Was that really necessary?"
"I don't know," she retorted standing up. "Was him tackling me necessary?"
"That was cruel," Christian said slowly standing up before running a hand through his long hair to brush it back. His hair style reminded Beca a lot like Austin Butler with his short hair slicked back.
"Sorry, can't help it," she shrugged her shoulders and turned to his sister, pulling her in for a kiss. "I love you so much, Cheeto."
The redhead laughed and replied with, "I love you too."
"What do you guys say we pack up and head home?" William suggested and they all agreed, gathering their belongings- all except Beca who just sat on the couch while Chloe shoved her things in her suitcase.
"Why do I continue to do all your shit?" Chloe sighed as she laid her head on Beca's shoulder.
The brunette shrugged and grabbed her fiancé's hand out of habit, playing with the newly acquired engagement ring. "Because you love me and know how tired I get."
Chloe smiled up at the singer admirably and kissed her jawline before snuggling closer for warmth.
"Hey, Bec, Chloe?" Stacie asked as she walked over with a smile and the couple looked up at her. "What are you guys doing this weekend?"
"Probably cleaning the house, why?" Beca asked. Chloe and her had moved in together a couple years ago when they both chose to move to LA for their jobs. Jesse and Aubrey lived a few houses down and Emily had her own house which was too big for one person alone but Beca caught Benji over there so many times that she's convinced they both bought it.
"Christian has to go on a business trip and wants me to go so do you care to watch Bella?" The blonde asked with a hopeful look.
Beca had won the bet her and Jesse made their junior year of high school at prom, however after they graduated, Stacie and Christian messed around a lot. They started dating a couple years later and now they have a one year old daughter named Bella.
"No, that's perfectly fine," Chloe smiled but looked at Beca to make sure it was okay and the brunette nodded in agreement.
"She loves her aunt Chloe," Beca sighed. "I think the kid hates me despite her mother being my best friend."
Stacie smiled, touched the older woman's words. "She doesn't hate you, Bec," she laughed. "You just need to spend more time with her."
Beca scoffed as she leaned back into the couch. "I would but every time I try to, she always cries for Chloe." The two other women listened to the brunette, even a couple family members and stylists who were standing around. "One time she had to run out to the store and get some more diapers because Bella's bladder couldn't hold anything and she wouldn't stop screaming the whole time Chloe was gone. I tried everything to get that baby to shut up and do you wanna know what she did as soon as I handed her to Chloe?" The blonde nodded her head, amused at the story. "She stopped crying. Her tears dried up, her cute little lip stopped quivering and she just put her little hands on Chloe's cheek before falling asleep in her arms."
"Wow," Stacie said amazed at the new information. "You must be really good," she looked at Chloe with a smile.
"What can I say, I'm a baby whisperer," she shrugged with a giggle. "Speaking of my gorgeous little niece, where is she?"
"Right here," Christian said walking back into the room with his daughter on his hip. "She woke up and I couldn't get her back to sleep," he informed his girlfriend who took her crying daughter in her arms and immediately held her against her chest.
"It's okay, baby," Stacie cooed as she gently bounced her daughter, running her index finger over the little brown hair she had on her head. "Mama's here."
"Is no one else bothered by the fact we were just talking about a similar situation not even 30 seconds ago?" Beca asked and Chloe smacked her leg.
"She's so precious," the redhead said as she watched the mother-daughter exchange, Stacie getting her daughter to stop crying and fall back to sleep. "I want one."
"What?" Beca asked choking on her own saliva and Chloe looked up at her while the rest of them looked at Chloe.
"I want kids and I know you do too so what do you say we get started?"
"Uh yeah, Chlo I don't have dick," the brunette said causing her friends to laugh. "And we literally just got engaged."
"I know that but I was thinking because you're on break or hiatus- whatever you're calling it," she said not caring for which term the brunette liked to use. "We could get a head start in the whole kid department. I don't want to try to start a family and you be busy again with touring."
"Can we talk about this in a more private setting?" Beca asked motioning to the room full of people who were acting like they weren't watching them but actually were.
Chloe looked up at everybody before looking back at Beca and nodding her head. Several minutes later, Tom came out and yelled, "Buses are ready!" Which prompted everyone to get her their things and heard back to the bus where they would drive back home.
