Note: I decided to do a bunch of songfics. I love music and I get a kick it kickin it story out of a lot of them. I love country music so a lot of the songs will be country. Some won't be. This first song is one of Taylor swifts older songs, brought up that way. Without further due, here is brought up that way.

Jack brewer stood in his kitchen, making an after school snack for his 5 year old daughter, Emily, just like he did everyday. You see Jack was a single father. No he wasn't divorced. No she didn't leave him. No, Kimberly brewer, his wife died in a car accident when Emily was only 1. Jack didn't turn to alcohol and drugs like most people. Instead he threw himself into raising their daughter. She was the only thing that Jack cared about. They had the best father/daughter relationship any dad could ask for.

Emily walked through their back door that was right in the kitchen just like she had everyday. Except today was different. The little blonde was smiling and skipping through the door. Instead, today she was dragging her Rapunzel backpack behind her and had a frown on her face. She drops her bag by the door and immediately runs over to Jack. She grabs his hand and holds it tight. Jack stops what he is doing and looks at her. "Baby girl, what is wrong with you?" He asked her, softly. (I know that sounds rude, but it's in the song.) Tears come running down her face. "Please don't make me go back there again" she says through tears. Jack kneels down to her level and picks her and sits her on his lap. "I wish there was some way to make them stop" she cried. Jack didn't even have to ask what she was talking about. He just knew and it broke his heart into pieces. Jack immediately knew what he had to do.

The next day while Emily was at school, Jack gets into his red Ford pickup truck and drives down to Emily school. He marches into the principles office to talk to the principal about Emily's situation. He sits down in the chair across from the middle aged red headed woman. "What brings you here, mr. Brewer?" The prinicipal asked Jack. "My daughter, Emily brewer, has been bullied at school. You see, I didn't bring her up so they could cut her down. I didn't bring her here so they could shut her out. I live my whole damn' life to see that little girl's smile. So why are tears pouring down that sweet face? She wasn't brought up that way" Jack told the principal.

After Jack saw the principal, things started to get better for Emily. The bullying stopped and she even made a few friend, who were best friends. Jack couldn't have been happier.

10 years later,

Jack sits at their kitchen table. Emily is home late again. Emily is now 25 years old and has grown more beautiful. She has long straight blonde hair and olive toned skin. She has her fathers chocolate brown eyes and his height. She has recently starting dating the quarter back of the high school football team, Xavier Watson. They have been going out for 3 months now. Emily is happy so Jack is happy.

jack thinks he heard Xavier's truck pull up into the driveway so he walks over to the front window and sure enough he sees Xavier's Chevy drive away. She walks through the front door. Something's different this time. She doesn't have to much to say. "Baby girl, is everything alright?" Jack asks Emily. Emily looks at Jack with tears streaming down her face. "She runs up to him and wraps her arms around him tightly. "He tried, but there's just some things I won't do" she cried. The tears continued to stream down her face. "I couldn't do that to you" she said, though the tears. He was absolutely heartbroken.

"I didn't bring you up so he could wear you down. Take that innocent heart and turn it inside out. I live my whole damn' life to see my little girl's smile. So don't let anyone take that away. You weren't brought up that way" he told her. Her tears immediately turned into a smile.

Emily broke up with Xavier the next day. Life got better after that.

6 years later,

Jack looks out the window at the rain pouring down. Emily isn't home yet and he's worried. Emily is now 21 and in her junior year at Harvard university in law. Right now it's her reading week. So she has the week off. Jack continues to look out the window, but then the phone rings interrupting his peace. So he picks up the phone closest to the door and answers it.

"It's officer Rudy, Jack. There's been an accident. You better come down here right away. A drunken driver missed an over pass and Emily, she's fading fast" officer Rudy tells Jack. He drives to the hospital. His heart is in pieces once again. He runs into her hospital room and sits on her bed. He begins to pray. "God, I didn't bring her up to watch them lay her down. Nearly killed me the day they put her her mama in the ground. Only thing that kept me alive was that little girl's smile. So don't take that away. It won't be easy taking her today. She wasn't brought up that way" he prays as the tears run down his face. He stands over the hospital bed. Emily opens her eyes.
