This is a 6 part story series, i'm taking songs from all of Taylor's albums and writing a mini series to it. Part 1 is based off the 'Taylor Swift' album, Part 2 Fearless, Part 3 Speak Now, Part 4 RED, Part 5 1989 and Part 6 is Reputation. It will be four to five songs and my favourite parts of them, with a little blurb/written part about Kaylor together, it's supposed to merge and make one story but is spaced out over 6 parts so remember that it's not going to be complete until part 6.

ALL PARTS WILL BE WRITTEN FROM TAYLOR'S POINT OF VIEW

Part One: Taylor Swift Album

Friday night beneath the stars
In a field behind your yard
You and I are painting pictures in the sky
Sometimes we don't say a thing
Just listen to the crickets sing
Everything I need is right here by my side

"Karlie, slow down..." I state as we stumble through the wet grass and into the forest that we've grown up playing in. Karlie pauses and looks back at me, dragging me by the hand she moves us in and kisses my lips. "Want a piggy back?" I nod and jump on her back, she grins at my attempt as I miss and slide down the back of her legs. She manages to catch me before I end up on my arse but it's still funny, I'm clumsy as hell. "Come on just jump, I want to catch fireflies...you're wasting our time." She groans as she simply scoops me into her arms and proceeds to march us into the forest, it's only when we reach 'our spot' that she sets me down and I proceed to lie down and watch her scamper around like we're ten years old again. "Gotcha!" she calls victorious a few minutes later showing me her mason jar full of fireflies and with a smile of satisfaction she joins me and we cuddle together as we watch the stars glimmer above us. I love that she lives out of the small town we both live in. I live in town as my dad has a job in town, so does Karlie's dad but her mom works from home and they just never moved back to town. As we lie there in silence I love that she feels so comfortable next to me and I snuggle into her side as she wraps me in a cuddle and I know that I want nothing more than to always be this way.

Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss her, when I should have."
And when I got home ... 'fore I said, "Amen."
Asking God if he could play it again

"Taylor, are you ready to go to school. Karlie is here, well she's downstairs with dad and mom." Austin states knocking on my bedroom door before coming in. I look up from my bed where I've been sitting in the same spot since 2am when I woke from a dead sleep with a song idea. I look down at my pyjamas and I look at Austin, who with a shocked look says. "I'm gonna tell her that you're not ready. I would do that if I was you." I look at him and nod but we both know that I'm not gonna move until the song is written. I return back to it and within ten minutes Karlie bounds into the room as excited as a fox terrier. "What's up babe? Writing again?" I look up and smile and then nod, motioning for her to sit I pull my guitar onto my lap and begin to strum it; I settle on a chord and play it as I start to sing. As I finish what I have so far Karlie leans over and kisses me and says. "That sounds just like us, and if you remember as well as I do. You did kiss me on our first date." I look at her and blush, "what it's not my fault I couldn't let you go without a kiss goodnight, it was innocent." I state trying to defend myself and Karlie laughs and says, "yeah innocent, until your lips moved from my cheek to my lips and your tongue fought its way into my mouth." I laugh and roll my eyes before reminding her that she didn't seem to mind. "I never mind, you can kiss me as often as you like. Just remember who said those three words first." I sigh and say,
"You beat me by about ten seconds. That's hardly fair."

You should've said "No", you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'
Get back to me (get back to me).

And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself, "Why?"
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You should've said "No", baby, and you might still have me

I'll never forget that moment, the moment that my head spun and my heart broke. I should've seen it a mile off. Karlie was spending more time at school in the library, she didn't even like the library. She would usually only be there when I was tutoring someone and she was waiting for me. But I can still picture the day that I walked into the library when I was supposed to be in English literature but decided to collect a book I'd requested. But instead of leaving with a book I left with a broken heart. Karlie was entangled in an embrace with a girl who worked alongside me in tutoring. The moment I turned it was apparent that Karlie had heard me, she had often said I never needed to speak as she knew when I was around, she could feel it. This day she didn't stop me, I got a text later on from her. It was a simple text saying, 'I'm sorry, it was a mistake.' But that doesn't make much of a difference to my heart. I simply leave the text on 'read' which is rude in general but this time I don't mind.

Burn, burn, burn, baby, burn
You're just another picture to burn
Baby, burn...

"Taylor, are you going to throw them in." I turn and see Abigail and Sarah watching me. I look down at my lap which is where I have a box of all of mine and Karlie's favourite memories. "I uhm, I don't know if I'm ready or not guys." I state looking into the faces of my other friends Kendra, Savanah and Shelley. "We understand why you may not be ready, but do you really want to keep the memories of you and Karlie particularly the recent ones..." Sarah starts but Abigail whacks her and shakes her head saying no. "No Abigail, continue Sarah, what exactly did you mean?" Sarah looks at me uncomfortably and says, "well you know since Karlie cheated on you. Do you want memories of you two from that time when she was cheating and you just didn't know?" I sigh as Sarah looks at me but everyone else just looks uncomfortable. I stand and look at the fire that we had prepared for this and then down at the box. I toss the box into the fire, "I guess you're right Sarah. I don't need the memories, but please don't talk about our relationship as if you understand any of what we went through to even exist together. Sure she cheated on me and I will move on eventually but she was my first love, the one I thought I'd be with together. So please remember that next time." All of my friends look shocked at how I am speaking but I don't say anything more I just stand and walk back into the house, by the time I get to my room and look outside I see everyone is gone and dad and Austin are putting the fire out. A knock on my door alerts me and I tell my mom to come in. "Here's the box you wanted me to keep from the girls," I nod and take the box, resting it on my lap and opening it to see a range of pictures and other trinkets. "Why didn't you just tell them you were keeping them?" mom questions and I sigh and look at her, "I understand why they wanted me to be rid of the memories, but they're more than memories to me. They are from a period of my life where it was hard to begin a relationship with a girl but it was worth it and I don't want to forget one moment of the way it made me feel." Mom nods and with a smile leaves me to my thoughts.
