This is essentially the last chapter guys :, ( There will be a prologue though to tie up any loose ends though ;) (you'll find out what those are at the end of this chapter)
It's not the longest but it's the seniors saying goodbye so it's pretty heartfelt.
Dreams Can Come True - Chapter 6
They've done it. They've survived high school. Everyone got into the college they applied to. They've finally graduated. There was some tears and a lot of laughter but there was one last thing that the seniors in the show choir still had to do. Say goodbye to the underclassmen and Mr McKay the best way they knew how, through song.
Chloe especially had been feeling pretty good today, not because Beca had to leave later (of course she's devastated) but because throughout the entire week her fiancée didn't mention anything about breaking up. They were going to be okay.
"So after a lot of arguments of what song we were going to perform for you, we finally decided on the perfect one." Jesse explained. Him, Beca, Chloe, Stacie and Aubrey were all standing in front of the underclassmen in the choir room (their graduation gowns had already been take off handed to their parents after the ceremony.)
Beca kept looking up at the clock because she was literally meeting her dad in the car outside in 20 minutes so she can go to the airport. After glancing up at it once last time, she picked up her guitar and threw the strap over her shoulder before returning to her position between Chloe and Jesse.
"This is for you guys." Chloe smiled sweetly, tears already forming in her eyes from this overwhelmingly emotional day for everyone.
Beca started plucking the strings of her guitar and was the first one to start the song off.
[Beca] Hope when you take that jump, you don't fear the fall
[Stacie] Hope when the water rises, you built a wall
[Jesse]Hope when the crowd screams out, they're screaming your name
[Aubrey] Hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay
[Chloe] Hope that you fall in love, and it hurts so bad
The redhead wrapped her arm around Beca as she sang her line, the brunette turning to her with a sad smile. Beca then stepped forward from the rest and finished off the verse.
[Beca] The only way you can know is give it all you have
And I hope that you don't suffer but take the pain
Hope when the moment comes, you'll say...
[All] I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived
[Jesse] Hope that you spend your days, but they all add up
[Aubrey] And when that sun goes down, hope you raise your cup
[Stacie] Oh, I wish that I could witness all your joy and all your pain
[Beca] But until my moment comes, I'll say...
[All] I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived
Oh [4x]
With every broken bone, I swear I lived.
With every broken bone, I swear I...
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived.
Oh [4x]
[Beca] I swear I lived. Ohhh [2x]
The seniors all bowed as their peers and Mr McKay applauded them.
"That was beautiful guys, well done. Take a seat whilst I talk to you all." Mr McKay stood up and took the floor as the seniors sat down. "I just want to say a few words before you all go on your way. It's been an absolute pleasure teaching you guys, not only that, it's been a pleasure becoming your friend. We're a family now and I don't want you guys to forget that. I wish you all the best for the future but you are always welcome here. This is your second home so please come visit." He gave them another round of applause as they all came up and hugged him.
"Uh Mr McKay?" Beca asked.
"Yeah?"
"I really need to leave soon but I want to sing one more song before I go." She continued.
"Of course Beca, the floor is yours." Mr McKay returned to his seat as did the rest of the seniors. Chloe furrowed her brow because Beca didn't tell her she was planning to sing another song.
"Uh this song means alot to me." Beca began rather nervously as she pulled a stool into the middle of the floor and sat down. "It was the first song that I sang a solo of in front of you guys. It was the song that Mr McKay made me sing to find the power that I had in my voice that I didn't even know of." She laughed slightly as she caught her teacher's eyes before finding her fiancée's. This song wasn't just for her former classmates and it wasn't just for Mr McKay, it was also for Chloe, the redhead just didn't know it yet. "I'm gonna sing it full acapella." Beca cleared her throat and counted herself in quietly to herself.
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
And I... will always love you, ooh
Will always love you
You
My darling, you...
Mmm-mm
Beca lifted her head, her eyes already watery as they locked with Chloe's.
Bittersweet memories –
That is all I'm taking with me.
So good-bye.
Please don't cry:
We both know I'm not what you, you need
And I... will always love you
I... will always love you
You, ooh
Chloe was biting her lip nervously, Beca's eyes not leaving hers as tears slowly began to fall from both girls' cheeks.
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love
And I... will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you.
The brunette stood up and grabbed a chair, pulling it directly in front of Chloe and sat on it, taking her fiancée's hands in her own as she sang the final lines of the song with a shaky voice.
You.
Darling, I love you.
I'll always...
I'll always love you.
Ooh
Ooh
"Chloe I need you to listen to me carefully." Beca began, looking down at their hands, her thumb softly rubbing over Chloe's as everyone stayed silent.
The redhead sobbed already knowing what was coming.
"I love you so much it hurts." Beca finally lifted her head, instantly regretting it once she saw how heartbroken the redhead looked. "And I need you to know that I always will."
"Please don't do this." Chloe cried, tightening her grip on Beca's hands.
"Babe I have to."
"No you don't." The redhead sobbed.
"Chloe we can't do this long distance thing. It's not going to work. What if 6 months down the line we find someone else and make a mistake?" Beca spoke calmly and softly, trying to stay as strong as she could for Chloe. "I want you to keep this." Beca toyed with Chloe's engagement ring. "Keep it so I can prove to you that we will end up together in the end. So I can fulfill that promise I made to you when I gave it to you."
"No." Was all Chloe choked out.
"Chloe trust me I hate myself for doing this but it's the right thing to do." The room was silent apart from Chloe's uncontrollable sobs for a few moments when Beca stood up, Chloe still attached to her hands. "Chloe I have to go now." She said softly taking her hands away from the girl but she just grabbed her wrists instead.
"Please don't go." Chloe cried, tears freely flowing down her face. Beca turned away and tried to pry her wrists away from the redhead.
"Chloe seriously let go of me!" Beca snapped but still Chloe wouldn't let go.
Aubrey was the one to spring up and attempt to pry the distraught girl away from Beca no matter how much she cried and yelled at her.
"Chloe you're just making this 10 times harder Jesus Christ!" Beca yelled, finally on her wits end, snatching her wrists away from Chloe and began walking towards the door.
Chloe jumped to her feet. "I heard you that night y'know. When my dad and your dad were talking to you about us. I heard every single word of it."
Beca stopped in her tracks but didn't turn around to face her now-ex girlfriend. "Why didn't you say anything?" The brunette asked through gritted teeth. "Why didn't you say so? we could've talked this out instead of putting all the pressure on me huh?" That's when she spun around to face the other girl, holding her hands out in question.
"Because I didn't think you'd actually go through with it." Chloe shook her head in disappointment. "I thought you were different. I thought you'd rather fight for us than giving in so easy. So that's it then? We say goodbye and never see each other again?"
"Didn't you just listen to a single word I said? Oh wait never mind because I just remembered you're actually really bad for just jumping to conclusions and not fucking listening to me!" Things were taking a slightly different turn than what Beca originally planned.
"Oh don't give me that. You have your flaws like you're so much of a pussy to stand up and fight for our relationship." Chloe spat, everyone's attention just bouncing between the girls.
"If you're acting like that there's no point in trying anyway."
"Acting like what?" Chloe challenged as Beca stepped towards her.
"Acting like you're the only one that's getting hurt by this." Beca accusingly pointed her finger at the taller girl until she came toe to toe with her.
"I wouldn't be surprised since you're such a cold hearted bitch most of the fucking-" Chloe didn't even get a chance to finish her sentence before Beca slapped her across the face making the majority of the people sitting down gasp.
"Don't you dare speak to me like that after everything I've done for you." Beca warned, stepping backwards, pointing at the girl who had her hand pressed against her cheek.
"Keep your stupid ring!" Chloe ripped it off her finger before throwing it at her ex who annoyingly caught it.
"Good. Maybe I can sell it and buy something nice for myself since I'm such a cold hearted bitch." Beca swung the door open and Chloe screamed after her.
"You're just like everyone else I've dated! I hate you! I'll never forgive you for this!" Fresh tears flowed down Chloe's face and Beca stopped at the door and glanced over her shoulder.
"I'm glad the feeling's mutual…" She muttered before slamming the door behind her.
That's definitely not how the girls had planned their last day together. It turned out really bad. Horrendous even. They had never had a fight like that, never once had either girl said they hated the other and truly meant it.
They both had different ideas on what is right and sometimes something as simple as that can cause a relationship to end.
They say your first love never dies, in that moment, Chloe and Beca didn't believe it. In that moment, their 2 years of love just seemed to vanish into thin air.
Okay I'm probably the most hated person on the earth right now *cringe*
I'm so so sorry
Things took quite a turn there huh? I want to know all your thoughts and I'll see you guys again when I post the prologue (which will be pretty long by the way)
