AN = Hey, people! I'm back, after a while. I'm awfully sorry - is it just me who realises that's like, the first thing I ever say in author's notes at the moment? I really am sorry, though. I've been watching Pretty Little Liars recently since I read the first book and felt the need to watch the show, even though the show and book are two different things, but they're still absolutely amazing. Anyway, this is possibly one of the worst things I've ever written. Surprisingly, I was very proud of this originally, but reading it back, it isn't very amazing anymore. So this was going to be based off the song 'Red' by Taylor Swift (no surprise there) but as I started writing it, I turned it into a multiply song fic - if that even makes sense. This is going to be a test of my Taylor Swift song knowledge because I'm going to say what song the line comes from, and since I didn't write the song down originally, I have to guess what it is. Okay, I hope you enjoy! x
Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly, or the several Taylor Swift songs in here, or Pretty Little Liars (I don't know why I've written this but I felt that I should.)
Red
You are in love, true love... (You Are In Love - 1989)
Sam Puckett never believed in love. She used to think it was just a fantasy. She never believed it was really there. She thought it was an excuse for two people to be together.
She had yet to experience love.
Months later, she changed her mind slightly. She didn't think it was an excuse anymore; she thought it was something two people thought was there but actually wasn't.
And Freddie Benson was the one who influenced her change of heart. He told her millions of times how much he loved her, but she never wanted to say it back. She didn't want to hurt him mentally, so she didn't say what she didn't believe.
Although, she ended up hurting him in another way. Every time she blanked him telling her how much he loved her, it gave him hope that one day she'd say it back.
She didn't want to drag Freddie along for the ride, so she told him she loved him when they broke up. She lied to him; the thing she promised herself she'd never do.
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly... (Red - Red)
She regretted ending it so soon a few weeks later. She didn't realise it at first, but she missed him.
It all passed by so quickly. Even though she hated the fact she had feelings for him, she still acted on them. The time they dated pasted so quickly that it might as well not have even happened.
She lost all she had in that one month. She lost herself more than anything...
But you came along and you changed everything... (Crazier - Hannah Montana)
She couldn't face the truth any longer. He told her, while they were dating, that love was real and one day she'd feel it...and that he was happy to wait until she knew her feelings.
Love did exist. She tried to hide the reality from herself for too long, because it was already too late. He had already moved on.
He was back to crushing on her best friend.
She wasn't sure for definite that love was what everyone thought it was. But she also knew the feelings she had weren't what one should towards their ex-boyfriend. She needed to do something.
Broke your heart, I'll put it back together... (How You Get The Girl - 1989)
She was too late, though. Before she knew it, she was stood outside the iCarly studio, witnessing her two best friends kissing. She didn't know what it meant though. She didn't know whether they were together, or if it was just a goodbye kiss...
She was crushed. She wanted to put his heart back together but how was she supposed to do that if it wasn't hers anymore?
Never was she going to believe in love.
She didn't want to believe it was love to begin with so why did she let him show her what love really was? Why?
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night... (Teardrops On My Guitar - Taylor Swift + Live From SoHo (iTunes) + Fearless (Japanese Edition))
She tried so hard to just forget about him, but it became too hard.
She told herself everyday how stupid she was believing in love. Love didn't exist and it wasn't meant to be, that proved it.
Every night, she fell asleep, only for him to be the main actor in all of her dreams. Nightmares, in her opinion. She couldn't stop herself from thinking about him.
I've gone all wrong, I've been trampled on... (Our Song - Taylor Swift + Live From SoHo (iTunes) + Fearless (Japanese Edition))
She got hurt in the process of feelings too. She cried herself to sleep most nights.
After what she saw, she decided not to stay in contact with him. She needed to sort her head out. She did the one thing she was definitely sure existed: ran away.
She ran to LA, hoping it would be better than where she started. She knew her feelings would just follow her, but she hoped they would become a distant memory.
Won't let no one break your heart... (Never Grow Up - Speak Now)
She told the four year old she babysat every Monday how important it was to know that love didn't exist. The child agreed since she had recently had her dad leave her family.
She told her roommate, Cat, how stupid it was for her to ever fall in love. She told her she'd never let anyone break her heart, no matter what.
She had gone through enough to know what love actually was...
It wasn't sweet like everyone else said it was.
It was evil. It was ominous. It was a nightmare.
Twenty stitches in a hospital room... (Out Of The Woods - 1989)
The next time love affected her was three months later. Jealousy was in the air and her roommate, unaware of the situation, invited him over by tricking him.
Even though she wasn't in the hospital, like what was originally thought, he was in hospital at the end of it. She saved his life...and if that wasn't what love was, she had no clue.
Was she just his bacon, like she had told him all those years ago? Because she saved his life, did he think he loved her? She didn't know what to think anymore.
She couldn't decide whether it was right to love or not after the incident. She didn't know what would happen and she couldn't afford to be crushed again. It wasn't fair on her.
But she looked after him. She took him to the hospital and got him all fixed up. She made sure he was feeling better every morning by visiting him. She was there when he needed her.
She honestly thought what she felt was love. She knew it was love - as much as she hated to admit it.
Never thought we'd have a last kiss... (Last Kiss - Speak Now + Speak Now Live)
She began to hate fairy tales after a certain Friday night. In fairy tales, everyone lived happily ever after. She knew she'd never have her happy ending... especially after what he had told her.
She, without a second thought, kissed him. He responded by pulling her closer until realising he shouldn't be kissing her. He pulled away and told her the truth.
She would never have her prince. She wasn't a princess...and he never loved her. That became a reality rather quickly after everything had happened.
You need to hear me out and they said, "Speak now"... (Speak Now - Speak Now + Speak Now Live)
It was the day she was dreading. The day her love would be determined.
She was surprised that she even gotten an invite.
When the preacher said, "Speak now," She arose from her seat, trembling.
She objected immediately and told him the truth. She told him how much she believed in love now and how he opened her eyes to the truth. She promised she knew she loved him this time. She told him she loved him, honestly, for the first time ever.
He ran off the stage and to her, sweeping her off her feet and kissing her softly.
She believed it. She finally believed in love.
I wanna be your endgame... (Endgame - Reputation)
She was his endgame and it was the best feeling in the world.
"I, Sam Benson, believe in love," she told hers and Freddie's kids ten years later. "Because I am in love."
AN = Okay, is it just me who finds it scary that I managed to get them all? I have every album and I think I've memorized every song lyric from all these songs and the order the song comes on the album. Yep, I have officially scared myself. Anyway, did you like it? What was your favourite part or favourite song lyrics? Are you sad that I couldn't fit Better Than Revenge and Getaway Car in there something like I am? I'm currently working on at least six requests so I'll hopefully get those finished as soon I can. Please review - reviews to me are Sam and her ham. But I like ham too, of course. Thanks for reading! Bye. x
