I'm truly sorry about how long this took and how short it really is but I have just went back to school after summer (Final year bitches) Anyway yeah this is really short and is kind of just the aftermath of what happened the day before. The next chapter will be senior prom and it needed to be split because the tone from this small section is very different.

Check out my other bechloe stories if you haven't already and are disappointed by this very short chapter. 'Age Is Just a Number' and 'Hold On to Sixteen' (Also aca child as well as bechloe)

Dreams Can Come True - Chapter 4

Students returned to school as normal the day after the incident that happened the day prior. It certainly didn't feel normal that's for sure, the school just had an eerie atmosphere. A very weird feeling for the day before senior prom. It was especially weird in the choir room that afternoon, they had all just been sitting in silence since they got there.

"Are you guys okay?" Mr McKay finally asked the teenagers in front of him. It had been all over the news last night that the boy who committed suicide was a freshman called Samuel.

"I couldn't sleep last night." Beca was the first to speak up and a lot of the others nodded along with her as if to say they were in the same bought. "I was just on the phone to Chloe all night."

"It'll take some time to get over, but you guys are safe now." Mr McKay looked round each and every one of them in reassurance.

"It's not just about us being safe now Mr McKay. I just can't stop thinking about that kid, he was only what? 15, 16? And now his life is over? I can't get my head around it." Jesse just held his head in his hands, trying to erase the nightmare from the day before.

"Do we know why he did it?" Chloe asked slowly with a lump in her throat.

"We have a rough idea as to why." He began. "I was talking to Miss James and she told me that Samuel visited her a lot. He was depressed you know. He got bullied a lot. This is going to hit home with a few of you but he was actually bullied for being gay."

Chloe, Beca and Emily instantly looked down at the floor, their hearts sinking too. Stacie cleared her throat before speaking. "I know that I've been lucky that I've been able to date another girl in school and that I've not had to been put through the bullshit that these three have for it." She glanced between the three girls looking at the floor.

"I remember that feeling." Beca finally lifted her head, her eyes glistening from the tears that rimmed them. "That feeling when I walked up to my locker and found fucking 'dyke' splayed across it." She was angry but also hurt as she recalled the memory. "You know, I know she's moved away with her dad now but I never actually thanked Rachael enough for trying to wipe it off before I saw it." The 18 year old smiled slightly at the thought.

"I've only really told Beca about this but when I was bullied for being bi in my old school, It actually pushed me to the point of self harm." Chloe wiped the stray tear from her cheek as she held her arm out in front of her, everyone sitting forward slightly to see. "I've still got this one scar and it's just a fucking constant reminder of that horrible time in my life." Beca definitely wasn't the only angry and frustrated one about this whole ordeal. Of course Samuel's story related more to Beca, Chloe and Emily compared to the rest. You could see it was making them very physically upset since it did relate back to them in a very personal way.

The rest of the glee club were also almost in tears as they listened intently to the girls' past experiences.

"I needed to move away from my old school. I had no choice, there was the rumour going around that I was a lesbian. Which I know is true but my parents didn't know at the time." Emily was the next to speak up, her voice just as upset and frustrated as the previous two. "It just killed me inside everytime people looked at me funny in school and whispered behind my back. I'm glad I didn't tell my parents back then because where would I even go? Nobody else wanted me. That's why I came here and I'm glad of it because I've got a cousin, aunt and uncle that took me in without a fuss." The girl smiled through her tears at her older cousin who reached over and held her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Plus if I didn't come here, I wouldn't have met you amazing people. I wouldn't have met my girlfriend, I wouldn't have met my new partner in crime." She smiled at Stacie then at Beca. "My life's finally starting to look up."

"I just wish I could've told him that everything turns out better in the long run." Beca looked up towards the ceiling as she spoke as if she was aiming her words up to Samuel.

"Thanks for sharing your stories girls, I know it's hard to speak about things that are so delicate and personal." Mr McKay smiled at the girls with his tear brimmed eyes and placed a hand on his heart as a thank you. "I don't want any of you guys here to ever get to that point of wanting to end it all. Life's gonna get tough sometimes but I want you to know that I'll always be a phone call away whenever you need to talk. There's so much ahead of you guys and I don't want you all to miss it. Let's go around the room and say one thing that we're looking forward to in life."

"I'm looking forward to the day people finally hear my songs on the radio." Emily began with a smile, glancing over at Beca as she did so.

"I can't wait till I'm dancing professionally." Stacie continued.

"The day my dad resigns from the army will be the best day of my life." Jesse smiled with a nod.

"I'm looking forward to my opening night on Broadway." Aubrey smiled brightly as she looked at Jesse.

"I can't wait till I finally get to reunite with this weirdo after I've finished college." Chloe wrapped her arm around her girlfriend's neck and pulled her into her side. Although the couple laughed about it, inside they were dreading the day of graduation because that was the night Beca had to leave for LA.

"And I can't wait to marry my girl." Beca ran her fingers through Chloe's hair as she gazed into her eyes, suddenly forgetting about everyone else around her for a second.

"About that..." Jesse trailed off, quickly getting a glare from his cousin. "It kept playing on my mind last night but aren't you both a little too young to marry each other? I mean you're both only 18."

Chloe and Beca just rolled their eyes at each other. "For the last time it's not like we're getting married next week. We just wanted to promise each other that we will find a way in the future to settle down." Beca sighed and turned to Mr McKay with pleading eyes to help.

"Well if that's the case then I'm completely behind both of you and I do believe I owe you a congratulations." He smiled softly and grins spread across both the girls' faces.

The girls were sick of hearing the same thing over and over again. They are going to stay engaged and that's final. They are 18 and adults, they don't need to deal with anyone yapping in their ear about how they're too young to get married.

That wasn't what was important about today though. Today was for Samuel, all the hearts from the glee club went out to him and his family. Although they didn't know him, a few of the members certainly felt a connection.

Again, I'm so sorry about the length of it but I will be updating my other stories in the meantime to clear my head about this one.

Let me know what you thought anyways :)
