A Bechloe fic based on Sweet Home Alabama the movie :)
15 years ago: Beca is 13 years old running and playing on the beach with her best friend Chloe.
"You think we will be together forever?" Chloe asks.
"Yes. We will get married and adopt babies!" Beca exclaims excitedly.
"You really wanna marry me, why?" Chloe asks curiously as rain starts to pour down.
"So I can kiss you whenever I want." Beca says while pulling Chloe close and kissing her.
Beca was currently sitting in a limo with a blindfold over her eyes. The car door opens and she is brought into a room being instructed to take off the blindfold.
"Jesse what is going on? It's pitch black in here."
The lights suddenly come on and she realizes she is in an expensive jewelry store with tons of beautiful engagement rings.
She looks to Jesse with her mouth agape to see him on one knee looking up at her with a single rose.
"Beca Mitchell, will you do me the honor of being my wife?"
"Oh my gosh Jesse! Yes of course!"
Before she knows it she's on a plane back to Alabama to tell her family that she is getting married. She hasn't seen them in 7 years.
"You're in Alabama?" Her friend Stacie says in shock over the phone.
"Well, I have to talk to my family before they meet him. I haven't seen them for a while" Beca explains. Really though, she is also going to try to get her wife, Chloe, to sign divorce papers.
"Well, good luck!" Stacie exclaims while they hang up.
Beca takes a deep breath before knocking on Chloe's door. Chloe opens the door and is shocked to find Beca standing there. She shuts the door in her face.
"Hey! Chloe we need to talk! Seriously. Please let me in" Beca begged.
"Why should I? You left without a trace to become a fancy music producer." Chloe countered.
"Just please" Beca says.
Chloe opens the door and allows Beca in.
"So what is it you want?" Chloe asked angrily.
"I need you to sign the divorce papers I've sent to you a long time ago"
"Why should I?"
"I met someone. I fell in love with him. He proposed to me and I need to divorce you so I can marry him"
Chloe looks shocked for a second then recovers with a smirk.
"I bet you haven't even told your parents you're in town"
"No I haven't. But that's none of your business anyway"
"Go and talk to your parents. They miss you so much. Then I'll sign your dumb form"
"Damnit Chloe! Why are you such a stubborn ass" she shouts while walking out the door.
Beca arrives at her parents feeling slightly guilty about not keeping in touch with them much at all. She gets the courage to knock on the door.
The door swings open and she is face to face with her mother.
"Oh my gosh do my eyes decisive me? Hey sweet heart!" She screams excitedly while pulling Beca into a huge hug.
"Hey mom. It's nice to see you."
"You're father is going to be so surprised!" Her mother cheerfully exclaims.
Becas mom pulls her inside the trailer they live in.
"Hey honey!" She cries inside when they are inside the house. "We have company!"
Her father walks in the kitchen and can't believe his eyes.
"Hey darlin! It's so good to see you" he pulls her into a hug. "What brings you round these parts. Didn't think you'd come back here."
"Well, mom, dad. I met the man of my dreams and he proposed to me!" Beca says happily.
"Oh my gosh honey that is so great!" Her mother cheers.
"Only thing is I'm trying to get Chloe to sign the divorce papers" Beca says angrily.
"Well why don't you go talk to her. I hear she's got a date with some new girl down at Joe's hoe down bar." Her father states.
"What?!" Beca shouts confused.
Beca gets in her car and heads to the bar. She looks around to find Chloe. She spots her acting real friendly to some blonde bimbo.
Beca storms up to them.
"Hey honey." She says loudly to Chloe which causes her to spit out her drink.
"Beca what are you doing here?"
"Just here to catch up with all my old friends" Beca says while getting a double shot from the bar.
"Hey Beca!" Fat Amy exclaims running to hug her. We are playing pool you should join.
Beca makes her way to the pool table to see Cynthia rose and Jessica playing against Chloe and Emily.
"Oh my god Beca!" They exclaim running to hug her.
"Gosh I'm getting so many hugs today."
"Probably because we haven't seen or heard from you in five or so years!" Emily exclaims.
"How have you been?" Jessica asks.
"Well, I met someone special" Beca smiles.
"Oh my god look at that ring! You're engaged?!" Cynthia rose screams out.
"Well I'm trying to be but stubborn asshole over there won't sign the damn papers" Beca says with gritted teeth staring at Chloe.
"I told you I would if you went to see your parents. I'll do it after my date." He pulls the girl closer and kisses her tryin to make Beca jealous. Beca rolls her eyes and makes her way back to the bar to get another double. She looks at Chloe longingly for a minute then shakes her head and snaps out of it.
It's been an hour and her friends are taking turns playing pool.
"You know what Chloe!" Beca slurs while walking over to her. "You are a piece of crap who won't let go of the past!"
She then vomits all over the pool table. Chloe grabs her arm, apologizes to her date, and walks to her truck to take the clearly drunk Beca home.
"I'm not gettin in your truck!" Beca says stubbornly.
"The hell you aren't! Get in the car you cannot drive in your state"
"Fine then I'll walk!" Beca defensively barks.
"Beca please." Chloe says pleadingly. "If you agree to take you back to your parents I will sign the papers right now." Chloe opens her glove box pulls out the papers and shows them to Beca.
Beca gets in the truck sighing.
"Alright fine"
Chloe takes out a pen, but before she signs she looks at Beca who has passed out and wonders why she can't have her. She then signs the papers and sticks them in becas purse and drives Beca home.
The next morning Beca's mother drags her out of bed.
"I made your favorite breakfast! Biscuits with gravy and grits!"
"Mama I've changed in the past years. I eat cereal now."
"Well here you're gonna eat what I fix ya."
"Eat the damn food, Hun" her father calls from his recliner.
Beca sighs sits down and eats. Suddenly there's a knock on the door. Becas mom goes to open it.
"Hi, are you Becas mother?"
"Why yes I am. Can I help you sweetheart?"
"I'm here to meet you and Becas father."
Beca immediately hears jesses voice. She runs to her father.
"Please act decently and do not bring up the confederacy!" She pleads.
Jesse connects with her parents easily. Her father even approves of him even though he's a "Yankee." Her mother absolutely adores him and his charming mannerisms.
Beca and Jesse walk outside.
"How did you know where I was?" Beca asks looking completely embarrassed.
"Aubrey told me and gave me the address you sent her"
Beca rolls her eyes. Of course she did she thinks to herself.
"I just wanted to meet your parents Beca. After all they will be my in laws and we are getting married in a couple of weeks!" He says.
"There's something I have to tell you. I was still married the whole time we've been together because my "ex" wife kept refusing to sign the papers." Beca waits to see his reaction.
"Did she sign the papers?" He asks with concern.
"Yes, she finally did" Beca replies. Then Jesse kisses her. Beca can't help but picture her kissing Chloe. What the hell she thinks and pulls away from Jesse.
Jesse leaves to go to a hotel. Beca grabs her purse to head out and talk to her friends. She looks in her purse for the keys and finds the divorce papers signed.
"Thank God" Beca mutters to herself.
A couple of weeks later Beca is getting ready for the wedding. She had asked Jesse if they could get married here since her friends and family wouldn't be able to afford tickets to New York.
She steps outside for some air and stumbles upon Chloe's mother.
"Hey Beca, congratulations on getting married. He's a cutie." She smiles.
"Thank you Ms Beale." Beca smiles back.
Before she knows it Beca is walking down the aisle with her father. She suddenly hears someone shout "Beca Mitchell!" She turns to see Benji, her attorney holding some papers.
"Technically you are still married" he states.
"What? She signed the papers." Beca says confused.
"Mam, she did, but you didn't."
Beca looks shocked and the wedding party looks at her with surprised faces/
She goes to sign them and looks up at her parents and Chloe's mom who happens to be sitting behind them. Then she looks at Jesse and back at the papers.
Chloe's mom walks over to Beca. "Honey, these things don't happen for no reason."
Beca looks at the papers then back at Jesse, who looks anxious. She walks up to Jesse.
"The thing is I fell in love with someone a very long time ago and I think she still has my heart" she tells Jesse.
He sadly nods his head. "I can't make you marry me if that's how you feel"
"I'm so sorry" Beca apologizes then kisses him on the cheek before running to her car.
She drives to where she thinks Chloe might be. It starts to pour down rain. She parks and sees that she is right. She's at the beach they used to go to together so long ago. She walks up to Chloe.
Chloe looks at her with a puzzled face. "Aren't you supposed to be getting hitched? You're ruining your expensive, high class wedding dress."
"Actually, I'm standing here looking at her." Beca smirks.
"What do you mean? I did what you asked and signed the papers."
"Well, I somehow forgot and I think.. No I know that it's because I'm still in love with you."
"Why would you want to stay married to me when you have a big shot husband who's in congress and you work at a company for a huge record label as a successful music producer?"
Beca grabs Chloe's waist pulling her against her. Chloe gasped not expecting that to happen. Beca's leans in her mouth close to Chloe's lips with her heart pounding.
"So I can kiss you whenever I want" Beca says before capturing Chloe's lips with hers.
