AN: I know several people have used this song in one-shots, but I'm doing a different take on it. So, for the sake of this story, let's pretend that Taylor Swift didn't write it, and we're also going to pretend that the Jonas Brothers aren't famous (although music is still important to them) and that Lilly grew up in Wyckoff with them. So this is going to be AU a lot! Hehe!! Oh! And be sure you read the lyrics. Don't skip them! They play a very important part in this story!
Disclaimer: So, yesterday was pretty much the greatest day ever. I got tickets to the JB concert on August 20, my last class of the day was cancelled, and I got to watch JB on DWTS. Oh! And Kevin declared his undying love for me. Yeah, I wish. I seriously do not own anything related to Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers. The song is "Mary's Song (Oh My My My) by Taylor Swift.
"Oh My My My"
Twenty-year-old Lilly Truscott sat in her apartment attempting to write a song. She had been dating Joe Jonas for four years now, and she couldn't be happier. She was trying to convey that in a song about them and everything that had gone through together. You see, they, along with Joe's three brothers Kevin, Nick, and Frankie, had grown up together in Wyckoff, New Jersey. Kevin was four years older than she was. He was the older brother she never had. Nick was her age, and he was her best friend. Frankie was seven years younger than she was, so he was like a little brother to her. There were days that she swore she loved Frankie the best out of the four Jonas brothers.
And then, there was Joe. He was two years older than she was, but that didn't matter. Oh, when they were little, it did. He didn't want to be around her because she was a "baby", as he liked to call her. Plus, it wasn't cool for him to hang around with her or Nick at that age. But, she was always over at the Jonas', so he had no choice but to put up with her.
Then she turned sixteen, and everything changed. It was her Sweet Sixteen party, and she was wearing the most gorgeous red dress. Her blonde hair had been piled on top of her head, with curly pieces framing her face. The boys walked in, all wearing suits and ties. Nick and Frankie were complaining about the ties. Kevin actually liked that he got to dress up. And Joe was trying to be the cool senior that he was. They all went over and hugged Lilly and wished her a happy birthday, and that's when everything changed for Joe.
He noticed just how beautiful she was, and that's when these feelings started coming. He tried to shrug them off at first. There was no way he could fall for the "nosy little brat" he had known for years. He watched her the entire night. She danced with pretty much everyone there. But, it was when she was dancing with Nick that a feeling that was like jealousy came creeping up. She was laughing at something Nick was saying, and when the song was over, they hugged, and Nick kissed her cheek. None of that was anything new, but this time, it rubbed him the wrong way. Kevin had noticed, and Kevin was the one who had told him that he needed to do something before Lilly got away.
He asked her out a month later, and they'd been together ever since. Oh, there were definitely some problems along the way. Their first fight came two months into the relationship. He was planning on going to a graduation party that one of his friends was throwing, and Lilly couldn't go because she had to study for finals. That wasn't the problem. The problem was that a girl who had had a crush on Joe for a while was going to be there, and this girl wasn't known for respecting boundaries. She had tried to make moves on Joe even with Lilly there, so Lilly was scared about what she would try to pull when Joe showed up alone. They argued until about midnight that night, when Lilly finally slammed the door in his face and went to bed. She cried herself to sleep, and she didn't feel much better when she woke up the next morning. She decided to go for a run, hoping that that would help clear her head. She opened the door to find Joe slumped against the house, asleep. She couldn't help but smile when she realized that he had stayed there all night. She woke him up, and they spent the next hour sitting there on the porch just talking and working everything out.
Lilly looked up at the clock and realized that she had five minutes to get to the park to meet Joe. She grabbed her purse and jacket, and she grabbed the song. Maybe Joe could help her finish it. He was pretty good at the whole songwriting thing.
She was five minutes late getting to the park. She ran over to their spot to find him sitting on a blanket. He looked up and saw her coming and he stood up. When she reached him, he pulled her to him and hugged and kissed her.
"You're late, Miss Truscott," he said, smiling.
"I know, I'm sorry," she replied, setting her things down. "I was writing a song, and time just got away from me."
"Ooh! A song! Can I see?" Joe was like a little boy on Christmas morning when it came to music.
She laughed. "Yeah, maybe you can help me finish it. It's about us."
He smiled and looked over what she had so far.
She said, I was
seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that
shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to
joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our
mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my
Take me back to the
house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were
bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when
our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when
you tried
Just two kids, you and I
Oh my my my my
I was sixteen when
suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your
eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke
about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in
love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my
my my
Take me back to the
creek beds we turned up
Two A.M. riding in your truck
And all I
need is you next to me
Take me back to the time we had our very
first fight
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
You
stayed outside til the morning light
Oh my my my my
"This is great, Lil," he said, leaning over to give her another kiss. "But, I can think of a little something else to add to it." He pulled a pen out of his pocket. "May I?" he asked, indicating to the piece of paper.
She nodded, and he wrote a few lines. He looked over his work, smiled, and handed it to her. She read it, and she got very confused.
A few years have
gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in
town
And you looked at me
Got down on one knee
"Joe, what's th-" she looked up, and there was Joe, in front of her on one knee, holding a box with a beautiful diamond ring in it.
"Lillian Truscott," he said, nerves starting to take over his body, "will you marry me?"
Her hand flew to her mouth, and all she could do was nod. He smiled and slipped the ring onto her finger, and the swept her into his arms and kissed her like never before. He pulled away and leaned his forehead on hers. She smiled at him, and she finally knew how to end her song. She pulled away from him and grabbed the pen and piece of paper and began writing. When she was done, she showed him the new lyrics, which he read. He smiled and kissed the top of her head.
"I love it," he said. "And I love you."
She looked up at him and smiled. "I love you, too."
Take me back to the
time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came and our
mamas cried
You said I do and I did too
Take me home where we
met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on the very front
porch
After all this time, you and I
I'll be
eighty-seven, you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you
like the stars that shine
In the sky
Oh my my my
