Hey, I've wanted to make a few songfics for a while and was inspired by Songbird341. Check out her story Songfics. I hope you like it. The song is Lucky You by Taylor Swift. It is a song from her demo CD from when she was like 12.
I am not Dan Schneider or Taylor Swift so I don't own much. I do however own their children (that sounds sooo strange)
There's a little girl in this little town
With a little too much heart to go around
Live forever, never say never
You can do better, that's what she says
[Flashback]
Jade always tried to believe that everyone was good and could reach their full potential. This was hard to do, though, when you had a father like hers. He would always tell her "you'll never be good enough" and "why do you even try?" She hated the times she had to spend at her dad's. The night always began with her dad telling her things he didn't like about her, and ended with Jade running to her room crying (Yes, even Jade West cries sometimes). She would crawl into bed and cry herself to sleep, only to awake throughout the night with bad dreams.
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of
The fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you
Her bad dreams always had to do with something happening to her mom. Her mom would somehow end up hurt and not be able to take care of her. She would have to move in with her dad permanently. Jade would be relieved when she woke up and realized it was just a dream. She hated her life, barely being able to make it through the day. She wanted to just disappear and never have to put up with her dad and school ever again. Every day she would prayer for someone to make her life worth living. She needed someone that could make her feel happy, make her feel want, and make her fell like she had a purpose in life.
Do do do do do do do do
She sings her little song
She walks along a little
Pathway headed for the skies
Left her travels, lives they unravel
Mind over matter, that's what she says
In ninth grade, her prayers were answered. One day in late October, Jade was paired with Beck Oliver for an acting project. Her was tall and had dark brown hair and very tan skin compared to her paleness. She instantly fell in love with him and he fell in love with her. By the New Year they had become Hollywood Art's new it couple. They spent every minute of every day together. Beck had recently gotten his RV and they spent long nights there talking, doing homework, and hanging out. This became Jade's new sanctuary after she had fights with her dad. She would come to Beck's crying and he would hold her tight and make her feel better. He would tell her that her father was wrong about whatever he said and that she shouldn't listen to him. He would finally tell her that he loved her and she would smile that big smile of hers (Yes, Jade West does smile). This smile she only let special people see. Since she was rarely that happy, only a couple people had seen it.
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of
The fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you, lucky you
[Present Day]
Everyday Beck loved to tell Jade how special she was, whether it was the way she could make even the worst song fantastic, how she had the most unique style, or how her smile could light up even the darkest room. He could spend hours thinking about how he loved Jade and how he never wanted to lose her. She was one of a kind, a girl that was rare and came only to those who were lucky. He told her parents, the first time he met them (separately), how lucky they were to have a daughter like Jade. Mrs. West agreed, saying that Jade was something great and that she was very lucky to have Beck in her life. Her father just went on complaining about her clothes, her make-up, her personality, her choice of career. Beck told him he was lucky, and should take Jade for granted. She had so many talents, and was destined to be famous one day. Mr. West just rolled his eyes and walked away.
do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Maybe she'll sing you do do do do
Maybe she'll bring you into the skies
Honey, she'll love you
Funny how some view
Angels above you, aint so far away
Beck and Jade were sitting in his RV listening to the radio and doing homework. An upbeat song can on and Jade asked Beck to turn the volume up. Surprised that she would actually like the song, he did as she asked. Jade began belting out the lyrics in complete harmony and sync with the singer. Beck was amazed at how easily the words flowed from her mouth. It was almost as if she was an angel in heaven. That's when Beck truly realized that he never wanted any other girl. Sure he had tons of girls that wanted to date him, but they just weren't special enough. Jade was like any of those girls, yet anything she did seemed just a little more perfect; they seemed better in his mind. The song ended and Beck turned the volume down, praying that his mother wouldn't come in yelling at him for his radio. He didn't really care that much though. What he cared about was his mom's reaction to Jade. She always would tell him how he wasn't good for him and that he should find another girl to date, one that wore lighter make-up, dressed in brighter colors, and had a nicer attitude. Beck would simply tell her that he loved Jade, his black make-up wearing, dark dressing, sarcastic, angel-singing girlfriend.
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of
The fact that she's different and yet she's the same
And she says do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you
[10 Years Later]
Jade lay in bed wide awake. Her alarm clock said 5:30, and hour before she had to get up. After trying to go back to sleep, Jade decided to just get up and go down stairs. She tiptoed downstairs, careful not to make too much noise. She went over to the computer and logged onto her Slap account. She still went on every day even though she had graduated almost nine years ago. She found a video of Beck's profile and clicked on it. This led to a list of all his videos. She watched them all, falling in love with him all over again like she did when she met him in freshman year. She thought about how her life changed that year and how much it had changed since high school. She had gotten married to Beck and had two wonderful kids with him. Just then a pair of arms wrapped around her shoulders. Beck kissed her forehead and pulled a chair up next to her. They then watched all of Jade's videos. When they finished, the clock said 7:00. Jade went upstairs to wake up their five year old daughter, Madison. Beck went into the room next door to get their son Noah, who was almost three. When the kids were ready, Jade made breakfast and called everyone in. She looked around her and realized just how lucky she was. She had a wonderful family, a nice house, and a great life. That night, Jade was looking through a photo album and found pictures from her dad's house. She thought about how her life would be different if her parents had never got divorced or if her father had accepted her more. The next pages were filled with pictures from high school, her wedding, and of her kids. The last page had a picture of Beck, Jade, and the kids from Christmas. Even though her life isn't always easy, she wouldn't want it any other way.
How'd you guys like it. Sorry if it isn't too good. Like I said I wrote this for Bade Week and did it in like two hours. Please review and tell me how I did. I will also try to update some of my stuff this weekend but I can't guarantee anything because I have a funneral and I have to go shopping for Soph.
