Sorry about the wait guys.
Okay this is the final chapter guys, it's a little quick guys but I just wanted to get it out there.
The sequel will be called 'Dreams Can Come True' and will start off at Nationals in their senior year. Yeah I know I said I'd write their senior year but I would rather a change and write them during that time of moving on after graduation, all that stuff that'll make ya cry y'know? I'm excited for It and I hope you are too
Enjoy this though and while you wait for me to start the sequel, check out my other bechloe story 'Age is just a number'
It's All About Finding Yourself - Chapter 34
"What is even the point in valentine's day? It's so stupid." Beca rolled her eyes. She was sitting on Chloe's lap as they awaited backstage with the rest of the show choir until it was there turn to go on stage. Regionals just so happened to land on Valentine's day and the theme of the competition was indeed love, therefore the songs each show choir sing must be about love. The Barden Majors had decided on three different duets. Beca and Chloe are going to start by singing Beca's own song 'I Wouldn't Mind'. Jesse and Aubrey are going to follow up with Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat's 'Lucky' and then finally the newly out couple, Stacie and Emily are going to sing Ellie Goulding's 'Love Me Like You Do'. All three duets accompanied by the rest of the group singing the acapella back up.
"Valentine's day is sweet, you get to show how much your significant other means to you through big romantic gestures." Chloe's arms were wrapped around the girl who was situated on her lap, her head resting against her shoulder.
"But shouldn't you be loving your significant other every other day of the year?" Beca challenged with a grin, turning her head so she could face her girlfriend.
"Why do you always have to look into things way too deep?" Chloe laughed, placing a kiss on Beca's clothed shoulder.
"Probably because my main goal in life is to piss you off." Beca chuckled, standing up with a stretch before pulling Chloe to her feet too.
"I wouldn't be surprised if that were actually true." Chloe stepped forward so she was toe to toe with her girlfriend and ran her hands up her arms.
"Hm I never said it wasn't." Beca smirked, giving Chloe a peck on the lips as she looped her arms around the said girl's neck.
The lights flashed a few times in the room signalling they were next to go on. "Okay show circle everybody!" Mr McKay called out, everyone forming into the circle that they had now gotten used to doing before every performance. "I can't even express how proud of you guys I am. We're one step away from making it to nationals. We can do this guys! Hands in!"
Everyone stepped forward and placed their hands over each other's. "Let's do this!" They all called in unison, throwing their hands up in the air.
Their performances weren't like their previous ones were they had big choreography numbers to go along with their songs. This time it was a lot more simple, there were only two microphone stands for whoever was singing and the rest of the group stood in a line behind them. Yes, it was simple but it seemed to work brilliantly for them as the got a standing ovation after their set. And that's what landed them back on stage in the top three, holding hands as they awaited the announcement of the winner.
"The winners of this year's regional competition and making their way to nationals is..." The announcer paused and Beca leaned her head against Chloe's, squeezing her hand even tighter. When she first joined the glee club she never thought she'd be wanting to win so very badly. In reality though glee changed her life. "From Barden High, the Barden Majors! Congratulations guys you've made it to nationals!"
Beca turned around and practically jumped into Chloe's arms, the redhead squealing as she spun her girlfriend around. They had made it. After all their hard work they had made it to nationals.
A few months later after intense rehearsals and hard work. It unfortunately didn't pay off. The group were finally back in school after their loss at Nationals in New York. They were hurting, heads hung, barely even speaking as they were all sat in the choir room.
"Guys..." Mr McKay began, feeling his heart break at the look of disappointment on kid's faces. "We shouldn't let this bring us down. Yes, it's hard that we lost after all the hard work we put into it but you have to remember that this was our first time there. Nerves were running high. In my eyes this year has been a success, look at us, we're a family now. Remember back when we first started? I was breaking up arguments everyday. Now everyday I walk in this room, all I can feel is love."
The teenagers all began to break into smiles, a few even with a couple tears in their eyes.
"Mr McKay? Instead of beating ourselves up about this, can we just go around the room and talk about the good things that have happened to us this year?" Beca spoke up, Chloe taking the said girl's hand in hers before resting them in her lap.
"That's a great idea, Beca. I'll start." Mr McKay smiled softly as he hopped up onto the piano. "This has been a great year, I've been able to watch you guys mature, watch some lovely relationships form. I love you guys, it's been an honour being able to spend this year with you all and I can't wait till next year."
"I met the best group of friends I've ever had and of course met the girl of my dreams." Chloe added, turning to smile at her girlfriend as she mentioned her.
"I told my family who I really am. It didn't go down well with my parents obviously but at least I've always had my big cousin in my corner." Emily continued before being pulled in for a side hug from her older cousin.
"I like girls." Was all Stacie said with a nod and a laugh, everybody quickly joining in the hilarity. Emily placed a kiss on her cheek.
"I finally asked the girl out I've had a crush on since like...forever?" Jesse laughed, pulling Aubrey into the side of him.
Mr McKay smiled at everyone, it was amazing how quickly the atmosphere had lit up. "Beca?" He pushed for the girl to go next, noticing that she was just staring at the floor until he called her name.
"This year's been huge for me. I was lying to myself and everyone around me. At first I was totally scared to say it but I don't care who knows it now. I'm gay. I have a girlfriend who I adore so much. Chloe..." Beca turned to the redhead and held her hands in hers. "You mean the world to me. You helped me out so much and I'm so proud to call you my girlfriend. I love you so so much it hurts." She let go of Chloe's hands and placed her own on the redhead's cheeks instead. "Please never leave me because I don't know what I'd do without you - and I sound so fucking sappy right now and I'm totally blaming you for making me sit through that rom com marathon that time you were sick." Beca shook her head with a laugh and forgot about everyone around her.
"I think you're just that sappy." Chloe winked.
"God I hate you." Beca shook her head again before kissing Chloe, keeping it brief once she remembered she was surrounded by her peers.
"I used to hate this place but you see high school? It's all about finding yourself and that's what I've done..." Beca stood up and walked into the middle of the floor. "I honestly can't thank you guys enough for what you've helped me through. I love you guys." A beat didn't even pass before everyone was on their feet, surrounding Beca with a group hug.
"Senior year is our year bitches!" Stacie yelled.
And that's how their junior year of high school ended. It was bittersweet in a way, they didn't win nationals but it just made them want to win it next year even more...
Yes very short and probably suckish but I'm glad it's out the way and cam start afresh with the sequel. Don't forget to keep a look out for 'Dreams Can Come True'
