The song The Only Exception does not belong to me, it belongs to Paramore, I'm just using the lyrics.

I would love to rate this m for #maturity

The Only Exception

Beca awoke to light shining through her window and a peculiar weight on the right side of her body. She opened her eyes to find Chloe practically lying on top of her. The red head's leg was on top of Beca's, her arms were snaked around Beca's stomach, and her head was resting on Beca's shoulder. She looked so young and peaceful. Beca began unconsciously playing with Chloe's hair.

Beca didn't know how long she layed there with Chloe, and she would have been completely content with staying in her current position with the red head, but her phone had to go and ring. Chloe stirred and opened her eyes. She smiled at Beca.

"Morning, sleepyhead." Beca said. Chloe gave her a mischievous smile.

"I didn't know you liked to play with other people's hair, Becs." She teased. Beca blushed furiously. "You're adorable when you're flustered." Chloe smiled.

"I'm not flustered, I'm-"

"Are you gonna get that?" Chloe interrupted, gesturing to Beca's phone.

"Yes." Beca said. She grabbed her phone from the bedside table. "Hello?"

"Where are you?!" She heard Sarah yell. "Me and Aubrey have been in the studio for ages!"

"Calm down, Sarah. I'm at home, we'll be there soon."

"We'll?" Sara questioned.

"Yeah, me and Chloe. She spent the night." Beca explained. She heard Sarah gasp on the other line.

"You dirty little bird! Is she good?" Beca blushed furiously and Chloe gave her a questioning look. Beca mouthed 'nothing'.

"Geez, Sarah, you know it's not like that!"

"Calm down, Becs, I was kidding."

"Don't call me that," Beca snapped. "We'll be there soon."

"Alright. And, uh, sorry, about what I said."

"It's fine." Beca said.

"Bye." Sarah said as Beca hung up. She turned to Chloe.

"We have to get to the studio." She said. Chloe stood up and looked at the time.

"Shit! We're going to be late!" Chloe exclaimed as she pulled off the clothes Beca let her borrow to sleep in.

"We already are late, Chlo." Beca chuckled at her friend. "Do you need something of mine to wear?"

"No, I'll just wear what I wore yesterday. Thanks though." Chloe said.

"Okay, I'll get dressed and make breakfast." Beca said. Chloe stopped what she was doing and looked at Beca.

"Do we really have time for breakfast?" She said while giving Beca an incredulous look.

"It's the most important meal of the day, Chlo. Of course we have time for it." Beca said as she walked out the door. Chloe shook her head and continued to dress.

...

They had been working on Sarah and Chloe's album for a few hours when Beca finally called a lunch break.

"Do you guys want to go for lunch with me and Aubrey?" Chloe asked Beca and Sarah. Beca was about to accept the invitation when Sarah interrupted her.

"Actually, Beca promised to go with me to meet with my publicist. Which starts in a few minutes." She said.

"I did?" Beca asked.

"Yes. You did. I told you a couple days ago, Beca, remember?"

"No. I don't, Sarah. Besides, you guys can come with us." Beca said to Aubrey and Chloe. Sarah gave Aubrey a stern look, who in turn gave her a subtle nod.

"No, we wouldn't want to impose. Right Chloe?" Aubrey said.

"Yeah," Chloe said, even though she looked a little disappointed.

"Okay, let's go then. I'm starved. See you guys in a couple hours." Aubrey said while walking out the door.

"Well, I better go. See ya, Becs." Chloe said was she stepped in for a quick hug. Beca smiled into the hug.

"See ya, Red." Chloe stepped back and gave Sarah a hug as well- a much quicker one Beca noticed. She stepped out the door with a small wave as she went after her friend. As soon as she was out of earshot, Beca turned to Sarah. "What was that? You don't have a meeting with your publicist!"

"I know that. We need to talk… alone."

"About what?"

"You and Chloe."

"I've already told you, there is no 'me and Chloe'. We're just friends. She likes me as a friend. Nothing more." Beca explained.

"Oh my gosh! Are you blind? And deaf?"

"No," Beca said, angrily turning her back on her friend. "Why can't you get it in your head that Chloe doesn't return my feelings?"

"Because," Sarah said. "That girl talks about you like you put stars in the sky! Hell, she looks at you like you're everything in the world she could ever possibly want!" Beca turned her head to the side so that she could see Sarah while still not facing her.

"Really?" Sarah let out a loud sigh.

"Yes!"

"How do you know?" Beca asked, finally turning to face Sarah.

"Aubrey tells me."

"Why?"

"Because she and I have been trying to get you two to tell each other how you feel."

"Really? Aubrey? Aubrey is helping you get me and Chloe together? Why?" Beca said. Aubrey hated Beca. It made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Sarah sighed.

"I really wanted you to figure this out for yourself," she said. "But, I guess I'm going to have to spell it out."

"Go on."

"It was the night Chloe invited us to thing yesterday when Aubrey decided to help me. The next day, we met up for breakfast. She told me how Chloe's been talking about you non-stop since the day you apologized to her- a lot like you've been doing actually. And, she told me that Chloe basically confessed her feelings. She still loves you, Beca."

Beca was silent. She didn't know what to say to that. She knew she was in love with Chloe for a long time now, but... she thought Chloe moved on from her. She thought Chloe didn't love her anymore, and to have all this thrusted upon her in a few minutes was overwhelming. She had to tell her how she felt, obviously, she just didn't know how.

"What do I do, Sarah?" She asked.

"Tell her."

"I know that, but I can't just tell her. It has to be something big. Something that will make her believe me."

"I'm sure she'd be ecstatic if all you did was send her a text."

"Well, yeah, but this is important. It has to be big."

...

It had been a few days since Beca and Sarah's talk, and Beca still had no idea how she was going to tell Chloe. One thing was for certain, though. Chloe definitely felt the same way about Beca. She didn't know if it was because of what Sarah said to her, but Beca could definitely see it now. It was pretty obvious.

She was driving home from the studio and listening to the radio. Suddenly, a song came on, and Beca had her idea. She drove as quickly as possible, and once she was in the lot of her apartment, she contacted Sarah.

I've got an idea and I need your help.

She walked into her living room and waited. It took no longer than fifteen minutes until Sarah was at her door. She ran to the door and opened it.

"I don't know why I didn't think of this before! I'm going to sing to her! In a pool… with the Bellas… maybe." Beca said as Sarah walked in.

"You do realize pools have water in them, right?"

"We can pull a few strings." Beca said.

"Okay, I'm in. What do you need me to do?" Sarah asked.

"I need you to get a hold of Aubrey. If I'm going to get the Bellas, I'm sure I'll need her help. Sarah nodded and pulled out her phone. While she did that, Beca ran to her computer and brought up a list of hotels. Once she found on with a nice pool, she wrote down the address. When she did that, Sarah came into the room.

"Aubrey is going to get a hold of the Bellas. I told her to tell them we'd pay for their fees."

"Good. Now we wait." Beca said.

"And now we wait."

...

A week later found Beca and Sarah in the lobby of a very fancy hotel. All the former Bellas from college had agreed to come down to LA, and now, Beca and Sarah were going to try and get this hotel to drain and close off the pool for a night. The hotel Beca picked had a pool on the roof and a specific elevator that took people to it. The girls were waiting for a hotel manager to come speak to them. After a few minutes, one finally came out to talk to them.

"Hello, I'm the manager of this hotel. What can I do for you ladies?" He said. Beca wasted no time.

"Hi, I'm Beca Mitchell, and this is Sarah Thomas." He let out a little gasp at the mention of their names. "And we were wondering how much it would cost to rent the pool and drain it for one night." He gave her a surprised look.

"You want to drain the pool for a night?"

"Yes. We'll do anything reasonable for it." Sarah said. The manager looked at her.

"Well, normally this would be a hefty price, but if you could do me a favor..."

"What is it?"

"My daughter worships you, and, perhaps if I can get to VIP tickets to your next concert-"

"Deal." Sarah said.

"Alright. What day?" The manager asked.

"Next Saturday." Beca said.

"Okay, it was a pleasure, ladies." He smiled. Beca turned to Sarah and beamed.

...

When the Bellas all arrived, everyone was ecstatic to see Beca, but she told them they'd have time for a reunion later. This was about Chloe, and they needed to practice the song they were going to sing. They had practiced it to perfection, and even Sarah and Aubrey were going to sing with them.

Currently, they were all waiting in the empty pool for Aubrey to let them know she and Chloe were almost there. After twenty minutes of anxiously waiting, they finally got her text.

We're in the elevator, be ready.

Beca turned to everyone.

"Alright, nerds, they're in the elevator. As soon as it dings, we start." Everyone gave some response and Beca smiled fondly at them. She loved these girls, and they had accepted her back so easily. Running was definitely the biggest mistake she had and probably ever would make. They all waited silently, and soon the elevator dinged and the doors opened up. The girls all started the background music, and Beca waited to come in.

…

Chloe had no idea where Aubrey was taking her, but the tall blonde had told her it was extremely important. At the moment, they were riding in an elevator, and Aubrey was stiff and nervous looking.

"What's wrong, Bree?"

"Nothing." Chloe sighed but didn't push anymore. Her friend wouldn't tell her anything, and she was more than a little anxious to see what all the fuss was about. The door opened, and Chloe could hear the familiar sounds of a cappella. She turned to Aubrey.

"What's going on?" She asked, but Aubrey just smiled at her. They stepped out of the elevator when she heard the beautiful voice of Beca Mitchell.

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
and curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it.

She smiled and looked with Aubrey, but she wasn't next to her anymore. She continued walking towards the sound of singing.

And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.

She got closer to sound, and she finally saw it. The singing was coming from an empty pool, and inside of it were the former Bellas, Aubrey, and Sarah all standing in a circle. She was confused though; it was definitely Beca singing the song, but the brunette was nowhere in sight. As she watched, the circle of girls moved out the way, and Beca was revealed. The short brunette pointed at Chloe as she continued to sing.

But darling,
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

Chloe smiled and felt tears sting her eyes. Was Beca telling her she felt the same way? The song continued, and Aubrey and Sarah walked towards her. She paid them no attention though- her eyes were on Beca, and Beca's were on hers. She could tell Beca meant what she was singing by the emotion in her voice and the sparkle in her eyes. She felt hands on her arms, and she looked away from Beca to see Aubrey and Sarah bringing her into the pool.

Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

She was in the pool when Aubrey and Sarah joined the rest of the group. Beca was slowly making her way up to her while singing the song. She was right in front of Chloe, and it was like the two of them were the only people here. Beca looked right into Chloe's eyes as she sang the last part of the song.

And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

Beca stopped singing, but the rest of the group continued on in instrumentals. Beca grabbed Chloe's hands.

"What I just sang to you is the complete truth. For most of my life, I've believed that love wasn't real or worth it. I didn't let people get close to me, and I didn't allow myself to love. Then, I met you, Chloe. You loved me for me, and, when I started falling for you, I was scared. I was scared that I would get hurt and so I ran. And in these last few weeks, I've been falling for you all over again. You are the exception to my rules, and because of you, I've realized that love is worth it. You're worth it."

"Becs-" Chloe started, but Beca didn't let her finish because the next thing Chloe knew, her lips were on her. It was pure bliss. Everything in Chloe began to tingle, and she smiled into the kiss. Beca pulled back.

"I'm in love with you, Chloe Beale." She said. Chloe smiled at her and pulled her in for another kiss.

"I love you too, Beca." She said. Beca gave her a huge smile and turned back to the girls who all gave the two cat-calls and whoops. Beca grabbed Chloe's hands again and put their foreheads together. After a moment, Chloe pulled back and looked at Beca. "I think that was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me."

"Well, it was definitely worth it." Beca said with a smile. Then, she pulled Chloe in for another emotion-filled, passionate kiss.

XXXXX

Alrighty, so this is the end. I'm sorry for those of you who wanted me to continue it, but I wouldn't know where to take it from here. Again, sorry. I hope you enjoyed this, I certainly did. I'd like to thank of all the people who reviewed, followed, and favorited, you guys aca-rock, and it meant a lot!

I do have some good new though. I'm thinking about started another Bechloe (no relation to this one). I just had like this vision of Chloe in a car being taken away from Beca, so I thought I could do a story where they were best friends as teens, and then Chloe has to move, and the two eventually lose contact. And then they meet up years later. I'm going to call it "I Get This Feeling", and the first chapter should be up sometime next week. I will be asking for a lot of suggestions on it though because, so far, I don't have that much planned and I still have a lot of choices to make. The first chapter will have more info on that though.

For those of you who saw the Instagram thing on the 28th (if you have no idea what I'm talking about go to the bechloe or sendrick tag on Tumblr), that happened on my birthday and it was an amazing present!

Have an amazing rest of the day! :D
