AUTHOUR'S NOTE: This is my first song fic guys. I'm a bit of a Taylor Swift fan and I liked the idea of doing one of her songs and I thought I could work something pretty average up with Love Story. Enjoy :)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Glee or anything related to Glee. I do not own the song Love Story. That goes to Taylor Swift.
We were both young when I first saw you,
I close my eyes and the flashback starts,
I'm standing there, on a balcony of summer air.
Rachel closed her eyes and thought back to the day she laid eyes on her man. The sweet summer wind blowing through her hair. He looked up and her eyes caught his and they held a glance. It was only a second, but it was a glance nonetheless.
See the lights,
See the party, the ball gowns,
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know.
She remembered the party that Quinn, the head Cheerio, had held. The party that everyone was invited to, that meant Rachel Berry. She remembered being the ugliest girl there and everyone staring at her with their scrutinizing eyes. She remembered watching him look her over with his soft, brown eyes and watching him walk towards her, much to Quinn's distaste. She remembered him stopping in front of her and saying hi.
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my Daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase,
Begging you please don't go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone,
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby just say yes.
He really was her Romeo, flying in and lifting her off her feet. But the world was against them and her Dad's – and Quinn – didn't like it. They didn't like it one bit. They tried everything in their power to stop it. She remembered sitting their begging her father's – and him – to let him stay. But he would take her to places where they could be alone and she would smile. And they'd wait. Wait for school to finish. Wait for the world to accept them, the star football player and the geeky Glee Club member.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said
They snuck out most nights and met each other in the park garden. So it wasn't his, but it was all the same. They would whisper and fret about being caught but they never were. The little garden in the corner of the park was their place to escape their crappy little town. He was everything and anything and she'd never let him go. She didn't care what her Daddy said. She loved him.
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh
He was scared. He was oh so scared and he quit. He got out and she was a mess. She believed that they'd make it out of this mess. But he'd given up and he'd let Rachel Berry go.
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
She stopped waiting and she moved on. She went out and met people. She met him. She met Luke Daniels, the sweet sexy man that swept her off her feet. He held her heart in his hands and he loved her. He truly loved her. But something stopped her from fully committing to the sexy man named Luke Daniels. But she was falling, falling, falling. And then he called and she went to meet him.
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
She was gobsmacked when he knelt down on one knee and proposed. He'd spent half the time in New York searching. Searching for the perfect place. Searching for the perfect ring and he'd found them both. But his perfect place was with her. She didn't have a clue. She was twenty-one. She was only young, but she said yes. She loved him. And as Rachel Berry pushed her back against his legs she smiled. This was where she was meant to be. She was meant to be with Finn Hudson.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
