Chapter 5: Full Circle

Cameras flashed and microphones were shoved in her face as Beca pulled up to the church. Unfortunately for Chloe, the press had found out where she was holding her wedding. Beca was bombarded with so many questions all at once she couldn't think straight. Her head was spinning.

"Hey Superman, you here to support your friend today?"

"Beca, are you happy for Chloe?"

"Do you know if Chloe's going to keep her last name?"

"Where's the groom taking the lucky bride on the honeymoon?"

"Beca."

"Beca."

"Beca Mitchell."

"Chloe Beale."

"Bee,"

"DJ."

Beca kept her head down and shoved her way through the massive double doors of the cathedral. The church was packed full of people ready to celebrate the union of two people who claimed to be desperately in love with each other. Beca walked in wearing a tight black dress, a small red S pinned to her chest. She sat down in the second row on the bride's side. Smiles and happy tears were all she saw around the room. It seemed Beca was the only one that thought this wedding was a bad idea.

The classic, "Here Comes the Bride," song started playing and every one stood up. Chloe Beale walked down the aisle, looking more breathtaking than she had ever been. Barrett was smirking at the altar. Beca wanted to puke. As Chloe walked down the aisle, her eyes locked onto Beca's, shocked that Beca was even there. Beca was crying. Chloe gave Beca a sad smile.

Ironically, Bumper was the priest. Since he was turning over a new leaf with Amy, he wanted to find himself spiritually.

As much as she wanted to rip her eyes away, Beca never took her eyes off Chloe as she joined hands with Barrett.

"Alright, if anyone has any reason why these to shouldn't be joined together in marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace."

Beca looked around. Silence. She had to do it. It was her last chance. She took a deep breath, preparing herself. Shaking, she stood up. There was a collective gasp around the room. Wow, Beca's life was such a soap opera. She closed her eyes, avoiding the wedding guests horrified faces. She opened her eyes again, gazing into Chloe's, never looking away. "Don't marry him, Chlo.," she pleaded.

"Beca ,why would you even?"

"Because I love you, Chole. I love you so much. Can you not see it? It's pretty stinking obvious to everyone else."

Chloe opened her mouth to reply. "Ring. Ring. Ring."

"What?" Beca asked, confused.

"Ring. Ring. Ring."

Beca spun around awkwardly. Then, it hit her. "I'm dreaming aren't I?"

Bumper began howling with laughter, "Did you actually think I would become a priest? Like for real?" He started laughing harder.

"I knew something was off," Beca shrugged.

Beca awoke to her phone ringing and started to freak out. Texts in the morning were one thing, but when she got calls in the morning, she automatically assumed someone died. "Stupid nightmares," she moaned, grabbing her phone off the bedside table.
