The song lyric challenge

Hello friends!
Long time no blog...

long post

Today (after procrastinating and staring at my screen for hours on end) I created a challenge. The song lyric challenge! Let's get right into the tag (ish) sort of thing.

In this challenge, you need to try and construct a piece of writing while using as many lines from your chosen song!

The Magnificent Guidelines... 

1. Thank the person who tagged you and link to the creator (me).
2. The piece of writing has to somehow make sense
3. Enjoy yourself!

I have chosen Colors by Halsey! This is a character profile on Alec Lightwood (lyrics in bold).

lightwoods

He sat in a clave council meeting, shyly blowing his shaggy black fringe up from where it was covering his eyes and not paying attention to whatever the current topic was. "Alec, are you even listening?" Clarissa, his almost-sister-in-law, was sounding annoyed and concerned, "your little brother never tells you but he loves you so, and I'm worried about where he went off to," Alec's mind went first to Max but Max was gone forever so... Jace? His head shot up, alarmed  and his sister Izzy and Clarissa Fairchild knew he was back to the normal Alec they all knew. "J-Jace is missing?" The older boy asked, stuttering. Almost simultaneously, the three picked up their phones, getting ready to text the absent middle Lightwood sibling. Izzy put down her blackberry, counting on the older two to get Jonathan Christopher Lightwood's attention. Alec watched Clary's fingers as she tapped the letters on her Iphone; 'Jace! Where R U? I hope you make it to the day you're 28 years old.' He then sent a text to the same recipient; 'By the angel, Jace pick up! Are you seriously only happy when you're sorry head is filled with dope?'
.................
  Alec tossed and turned in his bed, the insides of his head dripping like a saturated sunlight and his sweat spilling like an overflowing sink. Alec had been injected with demon venom when searching for Jace and had been sent to his bed while everyone else looked for his adoptive brother. Suddenly he heard an angry Isabelle Lightwood scream,"JACE! We've been tearing through the pages and the ink just to find you!" Alec knew Jace was back, so he could finally sleep.

Soooo! That was my short story! I tag anyone to do this tag! I managed to get a few lyrics in! How many can you?


Byeeee!

    2. Thanks! oops typo! I knew the song name but I kinda got distracted by a youtube video (sim mallec) that used a different title for copyright reasons, if that makes sense?

  2. Great yet funny tag. I doubt I'll be able to do it as I don't listen to songs which I can write a story out if it! However it is a great writing exercise which I may potentially do as an writing activity.
