MIX: Original Fiction | Corlionis | Love Can Be Rough Around The Edges
Title: Love Can Be Rough Around The Edges
Rating: PG
Characters: Isabella, Vincent, Keith, Jeremy, Amadeo, and Sam
Summary: Each of Isabella's relationships, one by one.
Disclaimer: The songs/lyrics/etc. are obviously not mine.
Claimer: The Corlionis are a family co-owned with my friends Geena and Kelly.
A/N: Whee, enjoy!
When Isabella is seventeen, she starts dating Vincent, a boy she's known since junior year of high school--he was new to the school. For awhile, things are good.
You And Me ♥ Plain White Ts
You and me, we couldn't stand being normal
That's why we, make a good you and me
We both laugh, at the most random situations
That's the key, baby don't you agree?
You know what I'm going to say before my mouth even makes a sound
And that's why we make a good you and me
I know from the sound of your breathing exactly what you are feeling
This is why we make a good you and me
♥
This slowly changes. Vincent isn't used to fitting in, but dating a Corlioni does wonders for his popularity, and it's not long before he starts acting differently, trying to be like his newfound friends. This involves breaking dates, forgetting to call, and other irritating behaviors.
Flowers After The Fact ♥ Terri Clark
Ten days too late you show up
With a sheepish grin and a bouquet in your hand
You make mistakes by the dozen
Don't think you can make it up the same way again
Flowers after the fact
Ain't gonna get me back
You gotta do something sooner and better than that
When you bring red roses
There's an ulterior motive
Don't give me flowers after the fact
♥
Isabella eventually has enough. She breaks things off, because clearly, Vincent would rather hang out with the idiots who used to push him around instead of with someone who actually cares about him.
You're Not Sorry ♥ Taylor Swift
You used to shine so bright
But I watched all of it fade
So you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
There's nothing left to beg for
♥
Isabella meets Keith when she's twenty-two, the summer before she starts law at Columbia. She's at NYU for a guest speaker, and so is he—they end up sitting next to each other and start talking afterward, deciding to go for coffee. At first, Keith is hesitant because of the age difference, but once Isabella reassures him, their relationship becomes quite passionate.
Turn Me On ♥ SHeDAISY
Your willing addiction
And feeling a tiny confliction
It's scrawled on your face
Here we've stalled so pick up the pace
Turn me on, turn it up
Turn this fable into fact
Turn my world on its ear
Then go and turn it back
Turn the fall into flight
Turn this bubble to a burn
Baby it's your turn
Turn me on
♥
Keith cares deeply for Isabella; he loves her, in fact. However, he's still ambivalent about what her eventual profession is going to be, on the fence about whether or not he'd be able to handle it. Eventually, Isabella tells him he has to make up his mind.
You Do Or You Don't ♥ Terri Clark
You can make a list of pros and cons
Check 'em all off baby one by one
But all I really wanna know tonight
Is are you always gonna want me in your life
Tell me what you're feelin' deep in your heart
Love ain't followed by a question mark
It should be simple, should be easy
We're not talkin' brain surgery
You do or you don't, you do or you don't
You do or you don't love me
♥
He can't reconcile it, in the end. They part on sad but amicable terms, and remain friends.
Please Remember ♥ Leann Rimes
Goodbye, there's just no sadder word to say
And it's sad to walk away with just the memories
Who's to know what might have been?
We'll leave behind a life and time we'll never know again
Please remember, please remember
I was there for you, and you were there for me
And remember, please remember me
♥
Isabella meets Jeremy when she's twenty-five, in October the year she graduates Columbia. He's immediately taken with her, but feels like she's out of his league.
The Geeks Get The Girls ♥ American Hi-Fi
Sweatin' hard, not a smooth operator
She's got it going on, dancing to her favorite song
He's got the line, "Is it your place or mine?"
She turns and walks away, where did he go wrong?
But waiting by the car, she says, "What took you so long?"
♥
Once they're together, Jeremy can't help but notice how many other men notice her. This doesn't bother him as much as he thought it would, realizing he trusts her completely.
She Never Lets It Go To Her Heart ♥ Tim McGraw
I guess I oughta be
A jealous man
I look the other way
They're hittin' on her
Every night and day
They telephone her
They try and get to her
But I know they can't
'Cause she never lets it go to her heart
She never lets it go that far
When they start talkin'
She starts walkin'
Right back to my arms
♥
Jeremy also has a little trouble at first once Isabella explains her profession, but he soon comes to the conclusion that it doesn't matter. He loves her too much to leave. They eventually get married.
As Long As You Love Me ♥ Backstreet Boys
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
♥
Their lives are good, their relationship strong; it's not perfect, but then, what is? They're both happy, and that's enough.
Perfect ♥ Sara Evans
Love can be rough around the edges
Tattered at the seams
But honey if it's good enough for you
It's good enough for me
If your mother doesn't like
The way I treat her baby boy
It's all right, it's all right
If in every wedding picture
My [brother] looks annoyed
It's all right, it's all right
Don't you know that all the fairy tales tell a lie
Real love and real life doesn't have to be perfect
♥
This is a happiness that endures for the rest of their lives.
That's When I Love You ♥ Phil Vassar
When you don't need me to explain
'Cause you already know
When you smile that way
I know, every night and day
That's when I love you, when I need you
When I care about you
That's when I know without a doubt
That I can't live without you
Everyday I find another reason
Every season we go through
And every little thing you do
That's when I love you
♥
Now, in an alternate universe, instead of meeting Jeremy, Isabella runs into Amadeo again, her old chaperone—the one she developed a crush on at eighteen. When they meet this time, she's not eighteen, but twenty-five, and things are much different.
Gangster Girl ♥ The Gadjits
Gangster Girl, I love you, don't shoot me
We would pull a job and we'd be up
But I'm afraid that you're gonna let me down
We were so happy then
Danced to the accordion
And then we had to go our separate ways
♥
They spend hours just talking—flirting too—as they catch up, and the tension and the chemistry developing between them does not go unnoticed.
(You Want To) Make A Memory ♥ Bon Jovi
Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killin' time
Tryin' to solve life's mysteries
How's your life? It's been awhile
God, it's good to see you smile
I see you reachin' for your keys
Lookin' for a reason not to leave
♥
Both Isabella and Amadeo are permanence-oriented people, and this is a relationship that would most certainly last once given an opportunity.
Together Now ♥ Heart
Deep inside this city night, only you and me
I can only hear your voice and all you see
Baby, I love you, born to be mine
I'll say forever, you say all the time
Take it like a vow
We're together now
♥
In another alternate universe, this one much more depressing, Isabella meets Sam when she's twenty-two, after an apocalypse. He quickly offers himself as her support, and she does the same for him.
Hope For The Hopeless ♥ A Fine Frenzy
Stitch in your knitted brow
And you don't know how
You're gonna get it out
Crushed under heavy chest
Trying to catch your breath
But it always beats you by a step, all right now
Making the best of it
Playing the hand you get
You're not alone in this
There's hope for the hopeless
♥
Once they're together, they help each other through all the misery brought on by losing so many loved ones.
Power Of Two ♥ Indigo Girls
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
We'll look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two
You know the things I'm afraid of
I'm not afraid to tell
And if we ever leave a legacy
It's that we loved each other well
♥
In the end, they are each part of the reason that the other survives.
This Is The Future ♥ Owl City
Dive in and swim away
From your loneliness and miserable days
And when you wake up on your own
Look around you 'cause you’re not alone
Let your hopes go and they’ll survive
'Cause this is the future and you are alive
You’re headed home
