House of Taylor Swift
Summary: Nearly everly single song by America's favorite female country singer that could possibly be related to House of Anubis, transformed into a songfic. Fabina, Jara, Amfie, Peddie, Mickra, Moy, Jabian, Jamber, non-couples, and etc.
A/N: Hey guys! I'm really excited to write this story because I love Taylor Swift (have you guys bought her new album Red yet? I haven't and I really want to but I've been listening to some of the songs on Youtube and all of the ones I've listened to are great) and House of Anubis, and there is hardly a single pairing on this show that I don't ship at least a little bit.
These are a variety of songfics - some are break-up songfics, some are make-up songfics, some have pairings, some don't really have any at all. Each songfic, though, is based on a song by Taylor Swift. Right now, the list of songfics I'm going to write for this story is a maximum of 66 or so. I'm writing all of them in chronological order of the song lists on each album. Some songs I will skip over because I couldn't find any way to relate them to HOA. Also, this story is divided into parts based on each album. For instance, part 1 is the album Taylor Swift, part 2 is the album Fearless, etc. I wouldn't reccomend requesting me writing a songfic because chances are I'm already going to write it, I just haven't gotten there yet. HOWEVER, if you know of a really good Taylor Swift song that isn't very well known, you should request it because I may not know about it and would love to hear it and write a songfic to it. None of these songfics are related to each other whatsoever. I did that specifically because I'm too lazy to have them all be related, plus I don't like writing my songfics like that, plus, if you don't like the ship for a certain songfic, or the context (for instance, if it's about a Mickber break-up or something), or the song, then you can just skip it and you wouldn't have missed anything important at all. :)
Please note that this story is just something that I'll write on the side with another story I'm writing (like HoLWW). Also, all of these songs are in chronological order based on the album, and this story is also divided into parts based on each album. For example, part 1 is the album Taylor Swift, part 2 is the album Fearless, etc.

Part 1: Taylor Swift
1. Teardrops on My Guitar
Jabian
Drew looks at me,
I fake a smile so he won't see
what I want and I need and
everything that we should be.
"So, all you really have to do is solve for x, then substitute the answer for each x in the equation, and the answer is y."
"Oh, right," I said, nodding slowly. "Yeah, that makes sense."
Fabian looked up at me and I quickly pushed back the fluttery feeling in my stomach, forcing myself to smile at him. A normal, friendly smile.
Apparently, my smile wasn't very convincing, and Fabian did that little cute thing when he cocked his head to the side when he was trying to figure something out. "Are you okay?"
No, I'm not okay. I'm not okay because I like you and I've liked you for so long but you've never stopped to realize it. You're supposed to be the smart one in the House but you've never been able to figure out how much you mean to me. All I want is for you to see how great we would be together and for you to realize you like me as much as I like you.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I heard myself saying out loud. I swallowed. "I've just been having a bad week, that's all."
"Oh. I'm sorry." He wrinkled his nose. "Well, hey, it's only Wednesday. There's plenty of time for the week to get better."
If only that were true. Still, I smiled. Fabian's little pep-talks usually made me feel better. "Thanks, Fabes. And thanks for helping me, I think I understand it now." I stood up, grabbing my math book off the dining room table.
"No problem. After all, what are friends for?" He asked, smiling.
I cringed inwardly. Why did he have to use that word? Why couldn't he have just left it off at 'no problem'? Why couldn't he realize how much I wished we could be more than that?
"Right." I said, forcing a smile. "Friends."
I bet she's beautiful,
that girl he talks about.
And she's got everything
that I'll have to live without.
It was like he saw right through me. I didn't make my feelings for him obvious, but the fact that he was so painfully unaware sometimes made me want to punch him in the face. And Nina, as well.
The thing was, though, as much as I tried to hate Nina...I really couldn't. I could see why Fabian liked her. She was smart, she was nice, she was nerdy, she was beautiful. It was no wonder that she and Fabian got along so well together - they had a lot in common.
In all honesty, I blamed myself for everything. If only I were smarter, if only I were nicer, if only I were prettier, if only I'd made my move before Nina came along.
Drew talks to me,
I laugh 'cause he's just so funny
But I can't even see
anyone when he's with me.
I'd always thought it was kind of sad that no one really knew how wonderful Fabian could be. He'd always been labeled as the geek and the bookworm, but if you really got to know him, you would find that he's so much more than that. And I loved that about him.
For instance, not many people knew how funny Fabian could be. Sometimes the two of us would just be talking, and he would say something, and there would just be a short moment where we just sat there quietly, when all of the sudden what he'd said would register in our heads and we'd burst out laughing and sit there laughing until someone (usually Patricia) found us, gave us a weird look, and told us to stop messing around and come inside.
And I don't know what it was about him, but whenever I was with him, I felt whole. And I know, that sounds like a line from a Nicholas Sparks novel. But Fabian was the only person in the world that could immediately put me in a good mood, even if I'd had the worst day imaginable. And whenever I was with him, everyone else just faded away. It was like when you're using a photo editor program and you make the whole picture black and white, except for the two people in the center - Fabian and me.
He says he's so in love,
he's finally got it right.
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night?
He was always talking about her. He was always saying how great Nina was and how well they got along and how he could tell her anything. He told me he thought he was in love with her. He told me he had finally gotten it right this time. And to be honest...it sort of killed me. It wasn't his fault, of course. He thought he was sharing with a friend. He thought he was talking to someone who could be happy and supportive for him. How could he know that he was all I thought about at night?
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,
the only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.
He's the song in the car, I keep singing, don't know why I do.
Fabian was the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the tear stains in my pillow, those times at night when I would just sneak into the bathroom to sit in the bathtub in cry, muffling my tears with my towel. He was the first thing that popped into my mind when 11:11 rolled around, the first wish I made whenever a shooting star fell past my window. He was the song I kept singing over and over, on the way to school, while I was washing dishes, all the time. And I didn't know why.
Drew walks by me,
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be.
I was messed up. I was judgemental, I was rude, I was dramatic, I was jealous, I was imperfect. But Fabian was just all good. He was sweet, he was kind, he was caring, he was smart, he was cute. He was everything I'd ever wanted to be.
She better hold him tight,
give him all her love.
Look into those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause...
he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,
the only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.
He's the song in the car, I keep singing, don't know why I do.
Sometimes I wondered if Nina really valued Fabian for what he was. I wondered if she ever thought about how lucky she was to have him while she was staring into his beautiful eyes. I wondered if she ever really sat down and thought about how valuable he was to her and how he meant everything to her.
I knew I did.
So I'll drive home alone
as I turn out the light.
I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight.
'Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar.
The only one that's got enough of me to break my heart.
He's the song in the car, I keep singing, don't know why I do.
I hung around a little longer after school that day, hoping that maybe, possibly, I could bump into Fabian. Hoping that he would be alone. Hoping that we could walk together.
Instead, I found him near the back of the school, standing under the big oak tree. With Nina. And they were kissing. Not just a short, sweet kiss. A real kiss. A "I'm so hopelessly in love with you and I don't ever want to let you go" kiss.
I'm not sure why it hurt so much. After all, they were dating. Although I never really saw it, I'm sure they kissed all the time. Fabian told me all the time how much he liked her - I knew how much he liked her. But it didn't fully register in my mind until I saw it right there, displayed in front of me.
And that's when it really hit me - Fabian was with Nina. Fabian was dating Nina. Fabian loved Nina. So what if he smiled at me, so what if he joked around with me, so what if we studied together? Those were simple things for him, things he would do with any other regular person, things that would never mean as much to him as they did to me.
I was just Joy.
I was just his friend.
I wasn't anything special.
I hadn't been for a long time.
I'd heard about people claiming to have their heart broken - when you're living in the same quarters as Amber Millington, it was hard not to.
But that day, I experienced it.
And it was the worst thing I'd ever felt.
I walked back to Anubis House alone, biting my tongue and clenching my eyes shut to keep myself from full-out sobbing right there, on the school lawn. By the time I reached the House, nothing could stop the tears. Someone - I think it was Mara - asked me what was wrong, but I didn't stop to answer them. I walked up to my room, slammed the door shut, and sat on my bed, letting the tears fall onto the blanket.
I hardly slept that night.
He's the time taken up,
but there's never enough
and he's all that I need to fall into.
Someone else would probably say that I spent too much time thinking about him, too much time worrying about him, too much time doing anything that had to do with him. But honestly, I felt like I didn't spend enough.
I knew I needed to stop and move on. I knew I needed to give up. But every time I did...something just drew me back in.
Drew looks at me,
I fake a smile so he won't see.
