I am so so sorry its taken me so long to get this finished but I have had so much happening in the past few months, from work to friends, to partners, to partying (it was my birthday last week) and I also haven't had the motivation to write lately but I have found it again.
This is the last chapter of League of Angels and I won't be writing anymore fanfiction for a while as I am going to continue writing my novel instead.
Thankyou to everyone who has supported this story and all of my other stores and hopefully if I get published, you'll follow that book too!
Thanks guys!
After a while at the graveyard, Beca and Stacie jump back into Beca's hired sports car and head back to the hotel for the celebrations with the other Bellas. They exit the elevator onto their floor and walk up to the hotel room door.
"Are you sure you're okay Beca? I know it was hard to have to relive what happened in Israel." Stacie asks and Beca stops. Her hand resting on the door handle for the room that held the other Bellas, her other family. Her head drops as she remembers everything that happened in Israel as flashes in her mind. She pushes it aside as she turns to Stacie.
"I'm alright. It's just going to be a rough patch being back and everything." Beca replies as her hand rests on the door handle. Stacie moves next to her best friend and places her hand over the top of Beca's. She lowers her chin down onto Beca's shoulder.
"Beca, you are the strongest and most brave girl I know. You will get through this and if the days feel dark, lean on me, lean on us. You know we will always be here for you." Stacie adds, moving forward to kiss Beca on the cheek. Beca smirks as she tilts her head into Stacie.
"I know and thankyou Stacie. You've always been there for me and I'm eternally grateful to you for that. I owe you my life." Beca smiles before finally reaching forward and opening the door to the hotel room.
"Surprise!" The Bellas yell and startle Beca. Beca looks shockingly between Aubrey whom bears a wide grin and the rest of the Bellas.
"What is this?" She asks and finally Chloe emerges from her hiding spot, coming up behind Beca and hugging her.
"Stacie told us that it was your birthday and that you never really celebrated it because of what happened to you. We wanted you to have a birthday that makes you happy. One that you will want to remember." She states and Beca ponders it for a moment before smiling slightly, she turns to Stacie whom also wears a smile on her face.
"You guys did all of this for me." Beca asks, looking around the hotel room that had been covered in balloons and streamers.
"Of course we did. We love you Beca. I love you more of course but we couldn't bear you having a bad birthday so we figured we could all chill out in here, drink a bit and be stupid. Something we all can do quite easily but also all together, as a family. Oh and try not to get kidnapped and tortured." Chloe responds with a joke and Beca can't help but feel loved by the gesture from her friends, she laughs slightly at Chloe's joke, Chloe was right. The Bellas are Beca's family, not the League or the Mitchell's before her, not even Hailee. The Bellas were the people that stuck by her even after everything they went through with the League, everything that Beca caused them.
"You guys will always be my family. Happy Birthday to my sister from another mister. To Beca." Stacie says as she raises a glass of champagne. All the Bellas raise their glasses as well before the party starts. Beca however escapes to the balcony to get some fresh air, only to be joined by her bubbly and slightly drunk girlfriend.
"Hey baby, the party is inside." Chloe says, plopping her chin down on Beca's shoulder.
"Yeah I'll be in there soon. I just needed a minute." Beca replies as she grabs Chloe's hand and pulls her around in front of her.
"Did you really regret last night?" Chloe finally asks after a short silence and Beca drops her head.
"You were drunk Chlo, and I took advantage of that. I'm no better than my father was to me and Hailee, getting drunk and harming us. I just got drunk with you, I got jealous and I claimed what I wanted without speaking to you first." Beca says I reply. Her eyes still looking at her feet. It is when she feels Chloe's finger lace under her chin and lift her eyes back to meet the cerulean blue of her girlfriend.
"Beca I wanted last night to happen since I first saw you in the quad at the activities fair. Last night was the best night of my life too. Beca, I love you more than anything. You are nothing like him, you are nothing like Michael and the other League members either and that is part of the reason I love you. Because you are kind, selfless and genuine. You are special Beca. You are brave, you are strong, you are kind, you are loving and you are so beautiful." Chloe leans forward and places her lips gently on Beca's. The two pulling apart before things get heated.
"Are you sure? You can run now." Beca asks to assure Chloe that it was her choice. Chloe simply answers by kissing Beca passionately again.
"I am sure. Beca Mitchell, I am in love with you and I will be forever in love with you. In this lifetime and every lifetime after." Chloe says and Beca's head swings up to gaze upon her girlfriend, a wide grin forming in amazement. The League firmly believed in reincarnation, as did Beca and to see Chloe adopt her beliefs made Beca's heart swell with love and delight. She leans forward and captures Chloe's lips with her own, taking Chloe by surprise. The redhead takes the former assassins face in her hands and returns the kiss with passion. Beca pulls away, leaning her head against Chloe's.
"I am yours and you are mine, in this lifetime and the rest of our lifetimes." Beca smiles and Chloe returns the smile.
"I am yours and you are mine. I love you Beca, I love all of you, Beca, Azrael. All of you." Chloe answers and Beca's smile never falters.
"Okay, let's go actually enjoy my birthday for a change." Beca smiles, stealing a quick peck from Chloe again with a wide grin before taking her girlfriend's hand and heading back to party which was in full swing already.
"By the way, I love you too." Beca says just as the two girls walk inside. Chloe grins wildly. Happy that she sorted things out with Beca but also because she had Beca.
It was well into the celebrations and many of the Bellas were either passed out or drunk to no end. Chloe approaches her girlfriend, stumbling past the living room furniture to get to her in the kitchen.
"How about you and I have an after party?" Chloe slurs and Beca giggles at the directness of the redhead's question.
"Well that depends, are they going to notice we are gone?" Beca replies and both girls turn to watch the rest of the Bellas, singing and slumbering. They both turn back to each other with small grins.
"Nah." They both say in unison as they sneak past the rest of the party and head to their room. As they reach the room and stand inside, Chloe stumbles to the bed and starts to undress but Beca freezes by the door, watching her girlfriend, she turns around suddenly as if she were about to leave the room. Chloe notices Beca and stops.
"What is it Becs?" The redhead asks. Beca replies with the first thing that comes to her mind.
"I love you Chloe Beale and I need you but to keep me alive and breathing. You are my oxygen, the air I breathe, you are my gravity and keep me grounded to this earth. I just needed you to know that. I trust you with my life and I know you trust me too. Please understand, I caused all this pain and suffering for all of you, especially you. I lied to you and betrayed your trust, you had to find out about who I really was the hard way, you had to find out that I murdered and tortured people when I started doing it to you and the others. I just want you to know how sorry I am for everything the League did and tell you that I need you. I need you to be there for me and still love me when things start to get dark like they did earlier today because it will keep happening. I need the girl I have been in love with since I met her at the activities fair at Barden University, I need you Chloe." Beca confesses leaving Chloe breathless. She remains still, Beca's back still facing her.
"I just needed you to know that. I needed you to know that if I lost you to the League then I would have not been able to continue. You hold my heart Chloe Beale. Promise me you won't crush it." Beca adds as Chloe sits up from the bed and walks toward the door. As Beca opens the door, a hand reaches beside her and shuts the door, the hand then reaches down and sits on Beca's's waist. The soft touch of lips on the back of the assassin's neck send chills through the depths of her spine. For a moment, Beca is in heaven until she is spun around and her face meets Chloe's. Beca puts her hand to Chloe's cheek and watches as she melts in the brunette's hand like ice in front of a fire. Chloe notices Beca's's face, the saddened expression that she has always been seeing of late.
"I love you Beca." Chloe finally says after a long silence. To Chloe's surprise, she sees a tear stream down Beca's cheek. The assassin finally gathers the courage to speak. Her voice broken as more tears stream.
"I love you too Chloe. So much that it hurts to move or breathe when you aren't around. I'm so protective of you because I would die inside if you leave me again. I never want to feel like I did when I thought I lost you. I didn't think I was going to make it back to the League in time to save you all, I kept picturing them killing you and it ruined me but it also motivated me to get there faster so I could ensure what I imagined didn't happen." Beca pleads upsettingly. Her words bringing Chloe to tears. It was then that Chloe realised just how much Beca needed her. She analysed Beca, falling apart in front of her. The redhead tips Beca's face up toward her own. Her cerulean blue eyes meeting Beca's royal brown.
"I won't ever leave you Beca. I promise." Chloe says as she puts her lips to Beca's. The couple share a romantic and emotional kiss before Chloe pulls away.
"Promise me you won't leave me either, I thought I lost you back in Israel, my heart won't take it again." Chloe leans forward. Beca's head drops, Chloe kissing the top of her head.
"I promise." Beca murmurs, Chloe hearing the broken voice, not realising just how much Beca had been falling apart since she had to suffer through what happened in Israel and come back. Chloe was seeing all the emotional walls fall apart, emotion flooding through the assassin that shut off her emotions again. Beca falls to her knees crying and the image makes Chloe cry also. She drops to her knees in front of Beca and puts her hands on her girlfriend's cheeks. Beca's eyes immediately look up into Chloe's.
"I won't leave you again. We are going to get through this, you, me and the Bellas and we are going to live happy for the rest of our lives, okay?" Chloe whispers as she leans forward, kissing Beca again. Beca returning the emotional kiss this time. Chloe moans into the kiss as Beca slides her fingertips along Chloe's waist. The kiss heats up rapidly as Chloe pulls Beca's shirt off revealing her six pack along with her scars and wounds. Chloe pulls away and gently traces the marks on her girlfriend before running her hands down Beca's abdomen. The brunette's breath hitches, her back arching slightly. Beca helps Chloe stand with her before pressing her into the door.
"Oh Bec." Chloe cries out as Beca kisses and nips at the nape of the redhead's neck. Beca lifts Chloe up allowing her to wrap her legs around Beca's hips. Their lips meet again in a passionate kiss that is interrupted by knocking on the door behind them.
"Where are you at bitches? No time for sex, we have a party to have!" They hear Amy on the other side of the door, followed by a thud. Chloe jumps down off of Beca and carefully moves to the bed as Beca moves to the door, opening it to find Fat Amy passed out on the floor and all of the other Bellas including Aubrey passed out around the hotel room. Beca carefully shuts the door and turns to find her girlfriend waiting for her on the bed in nothing but lingerie. Beca laughs, looking to the ceiling.
"I'm starting to believe you may be real." Beca jokes as she moves over to the bed and passionately kisses her girlfriend.
"I love you Chloe Beale. I am yours and you are mine." Beca murmurs between kisses.
"I love you too Beca Mitchell. I am yours and you are mine." Chloe returns.
