Teardrops On My Guitar by Taylor Swift
Alice walks into the classroom. She's the only one there, not even the teacher has arrived. She sits down in a corner and pulls out her text book. As she reads she hears some people come in the room. Looking up Alice sees Jasper Hale, the most beautiful boy in school. With him is his girlfriend.
"I love you," Jasper whispers to her. They then start making out with each other; inside, Alice dies a little. After school she goes home, and begins to play her guitar. She can't take it anymore… she gets out a knife. *** Her parents find her next to her guitar. On it is a note written, 'He was the reason for the teardrops on my guitar.'
Clumsy by Fergie
Jasper looked to his left and saw Alice walk into the room. She was incredibly cute, he smiled at her. Hers eyes widened and she smiled back. However, she was soon flat on her face, having tripped over her friend Bella's book bag. Jasper heard Bella say, "You say I'm the clumsy one, Ali." Getting up Jasper walked over and put out his hand. Alice took it and he helped her up. He smiled and she smiled back. Jasper walked back to his seat and sat down to find Alice still smiling. She went to sit down and she missed her chair. Everyone laughed, Alice blushed.
"You're turning into Bella, Alice!" Emmett shouted. Jasper chuckled.
"I think it's cute," He said to his friends, Alice heard him and accidentally dropped her books on the floor from surprise. Jasper went to help her; handing her his number after he finished.
Halo by Beyonce
Alice was on her honey moon, with the love of her life. They were walking on the beach and the sun was setting. She remembers how hard Jasper fought to break through her walls of protection. He had battered them down, but gently. When he finally got her to trust him, and love him; Alice realized he was an angel. He had been sent down from heaven, just for her. She prayed that he always would be an angel and that his halo would never fade away. As they walk Jasper turns and looks down at her, he smiles. Alice thinks he is glowing. Everywhere she looks she sees warmth; all of it emitting from Jasper. They kiss for a long time, standing there on the beach. Alice closes her eyes, and when she opens them Jasper is still there; she reaches up and runs a hand through his hair. She feels something, looking up she sees Jasper's halo… and she knows he will be her angel forever.
A Little Bit Longer by The Jonas Brothers
Jasper can't believe what is happening to him. The doctor says he has a disease. Jasper now has to stay until he is better. He cannot see his family or his friends for more than an hour each day. Even worse, he can't see Alice; the doctors say, since she is pregnant, she shouldn't be to near him; just in case. Everyday, Jasper thinks about how he took the ability to be able to see her everyday for granted. He wishes he would finally get better. *** It has been a month and he is still in this hospital bed. Suddenly, he sees Alice being wheeled down the hall by a nurse. She enters the room and Jasper knows what has happened.
"A boy," Alice says, smiling.
Jasper suddenly feels strength, he takes Alice's hand and says, "A little bit longer, and I'll be fine."
If Everyone Cared by Nickelback
Alice walks down the street, tears streaming down her face. She doesn't know why things like this have to happen, but she supposed that it was life. Her phone buzzes and she looks at the caller ID, its Jasper. She answers and tells him her father died, fighting in Iraq. Jasper tells her to meet him at the willow tree in the park. Once, there Alice sees a blanket spread out on the ground. Jasper runs to her and embraces her. He says, "If everyone cared, things like this wouldn't be happening all around the world." Alice nods in agreement; they lie down on the blanket, looking at the stars.
"If everyone cared, like you and me, Jazz… I suppose we'd see the day when nobody died," she said. She looks over and Jasper is nodding.
"That we would, Alice; that we would."
Waking Up In Vegas by Katy Perry
Jasper opened his eyes, he was looking at a hotel pillow. He sat up and gasped, there, in front of him was a short girl, with dark hair, as well as eyes. She looked like she had a problem. "Um, do I know you?" he asks.
She says, "I'm, Alice," she pauses and holds up her left hand, "your wife."
"Wholly crap," says Jasper.
***
"I need money to get home," says Alice. Jasper is looking down at her; she seems young, but not much younger than him; she has lost her wallet. God, what happened last night? Jasper thinks.
"Where do you live?" Jasper asks her.
"Um, Forks Washington," Alice mutters. Jasper raises his eyebrows.
"Really? My mom just moved there… I'll call her," he says.
Alice grabs his hand, "NO!" she shouts, "This is what we get for waking up in Vegas, don't call your mother, we have to handle this on our own."
"Fine," says Jasper.
Live Like We're Dying by Kris Allen
"Alice! Get down from there!" shouts Jasper. Alice looks back at her boy friend and laughs. She then jumps off the cliff, into the water, forcing Jasper to jump in after her. ***
"Alice! Stop!" Jasper was running after Alice, who was running away with his cell phone, so he couldn't tell her mom what she had been doing. She laughed and threw it over a fence, making him go get it, then threatening to tell HIS mom, he trespassed on private property.
***
Alice was in her bikini; dragging Jasper through dark yards and pulling him into other people's pools. "Common, Ali, lets stop," he says.
"Live like you're dying Jazz," she says, laughing.
***
One day, after getting hit by a drunk driver, Alice dies. At her funeral, Jasper is crying. He remains there after everyone has left. He places a sunflower on Alice's grave and says, "You always lived like you were dying Ali; from now one, so will I." … and somewhere up in heaven Alice smiles.
Lean On Me by Michael Bolton
"Is something wrong, Jazz?" Alice asked.
"No, not at all," he said. He was staring straight ahead, looking at what seemed to be nothing. His eyebrows are furrowed. Alice knows he is lying to her. She goes over and puts her arm around him.
"Swallow your pride, Jazzy," she says.
"I don't have a pride issue, Ali."
"You do, and you know it."
"No, I don't."
Alice sighs and shakes his head, knowing this is getting no where. She gets up, and then sits down, this time on his lap. She leans against him, he rubs her arms. "We all need somebody to lean on Jazz. Whether, it is leaning like I'm doing now, or leaning for emotional support." Alice looks at him sternly and says, "Lean on me." Jasper nods, he begins telling her what is wrong. Once he has finished Alice smiles. "That wasn't hard, was it?" she asks him.
"No, it wasn't," Jasper says then he says, "So, tell me, what's been bothering you?" "Nothing," says Alice.
Jasper looks at her and says, "Lean on me, Ali."

Everyone can imagine what happens after all of these little drabbles! I think I might make a story out of one of them… what do you all think about that? Which would you guys prefer to read as a story? Also, I challenge all of you writers to do this, it's fun! If you do try to do this you should write it all, and edit it after wards. That's what I did… like I made the separate little paragraphs after I wrote… it just gives you more time to write; which I love. =) Review please!
