This is a songfic to Taylor Swift's song I'd lie. It's about being in
love with your best friend. The characters are Paul and his imprint
Brooke(OC).
I woke up from my amazing dream to my annoying alarm clock blasting
"Love the Way You lie" By Eminem. Part 2 of course. I know, I know what
a great way to wake up in the morning. but hey I love that song and him
so it works.
I get up thinking about Paul and shower using my citrus body wash and
shampoo knowing it's Paul's favorite.
Paul.
Paul's my best friend but I like him more than that. I love him.I sigh.
He does't love me. He's going to end up imprinting on some random girl
and end up leaving me behind. Forgotten.
I get out of the shower and dry myself off. I walk back in my room and
dress in a blue sundress even though it is NEVER sunny here in La push.
Oh well. Anywho my dress is navy blue with white polka-dots. It's
strapless and goes down to just above the knee. It's not super casual,
but casual enough that I can wear it to school.
I put on my make-up and hop that Paul will notice me. In a more than a
friend way that is.
I run downstairs eating an apple and go upstairs and brush my teeth. I
hear Paul beep from my driveway so I grab my black North Face backpack
and run out of the door.
Sure enough there he is. He looks tired from all of the patrolling but
he tells me he's fine and will get used to the new schedule. I can only
hope that's true.
"Hey shortie" he greets me
Shortie is my nickname with the pack. I'm only barely five foot so I'm
like a midget around these giants.
"Hey Paulie."I say back to him
I'm the only one who gets to call him that. Don't ask why, I honestly
DO NOT know. Whatever. Paul's a weirdo.
I found out about the wolves when me and Paul got into a huge fight
and he phased in front of me. He scratched me and scrred the left side
of my body but I don't care. I forgave him a long time ago. And besides
the fight was my fault. I don't even remember what it was about, but I
always start the fights that we have. I'm just as tempered and
hot-headed as he is. So yeah.
He tells me about his night and his patrols he gets an excited look
when he tells me he took down two vampires. I can see at least 20
shades of colors in his beautiful dark brown eyes he gets from his dad.
His sister Amy has the same color eyes. She's 2 years younger than me
and him, but she is beautiful. Everyone knows it. He then starts
complaining about Jared and Jake thinking about Kim and Nessie ALL
NIGHTW.
"I swear Brooke," He says, "I'm never going to imprint and I'm NEVER
going to fall in love." He shudders.
I start laughing, but on the inside I'm wishing he was wrong and that
he would fall in love with me.
"Of course not Paul."
"It's true!" he whines then starts grumbling under his breat.
We pul up to the school. And I hop of of his black pick-up truck the
second I step out of the door Nessie, Kim, Leah, Sarah(Embry's Imprint)
and Mel(Seth's imprint) run over away formt he guys and give me a huge
hug. I walk over and give all the guys a hug and kiss Brady on the
cheek. He's my favorite besideds Quill but Quills not here so Brady
will substitute.
"Why'd you give Brady a kiss on the cheek and not ME!" Collin and Jared
whined. Me and Jared have this on-going flirt war. But in reality he
loves Kim and he is like my brother so gross.
"Because Quill isn't here and Brady is my favorite other than Jared who
was preoccupied. So Jare-Bear quit whining."
Everyone laughed. Nessie, Kim and I started walking towards the school,
nut I am stopped by Paul who gives me a hug.
"Don't get trampled today short stuff," he jokes.
I fake a smile.
"Don't trample me than" I retort and he stands there then walks away
and I see him start to argue with Embry. I sake my head, that boy loves
to argue...I feel my fake smile slipped from my face.
Kim, Nessie, Mel, Leah. and Paul's sister Amy are the only ones that ow
I have a crush on Paul. I would tell EMily and Sarah, but they would
tell Embry and Sam and then ALL the guys would knoe. Including Paul and
that coud not happen.
"He'll realize he loves you eventually," Nessie tells me
"No he won;t," I mumble
"OH hey before I forget, Billy wants you to perform at the next
bonfire. It's going to be the council the pack the imprints and the
families that know about the wolves. Please do it your really good and
I'll play guitar so you can sing! PLEASE!" Nessie begged. She gave me
puppy-dog eyes that I could not ingore.
"Okay fine Nessie."
"Okay well I'll see you after school hun!"
School flew by and so did the rest of the week. Before I knew it, Iit
was the day before the bonfire and I still didn't know what to sing.
I noticed Paul was wearing the green shirt I bough him for his birthday
last year. Green is his favorite color. I also got him a guitar but I
had to give that to him in private because he doesn't want anyone to
know he plays. He thnks he's bad and the only reason I know is because
I snuck up on him playing. He is really good. I sighe inwardly. October
17th. Thats his borthday. The day 3 years ago I first realized I loved
him.
It was Friday after school and Nessie, Jake, and Paul were in my room.
Filled with pictures of us all but mostly Paul and me and Paul. 'How
can he not see that i love him. How can he look over the truth?' I
asked myself.
'because he doesn't love you!' a voice in my head screamed.
We had just finished watching "The Orphan" when we heard a wolf howl.
"Well that is our cue to leave." Paul said and he and Jake ran out of
my room and out the door.
I was finishing my homework when Nessie gasped.
"What?"
"Brooke is the song you wrote "I'd Lie" about you and Paul."
"Oh, yeah I meant to show that to you. I wrote it yesterday. Why is it
terrible?"
"No it's AMAZING! You have to sing it at the bonfire tomorow!"
"NO Nessie I can't!"
"But-"
"No!"
But-"
"Nessie No!"
"Fine"
Her phone started ringing.
"Hey Alice..yeah...it's so good right...no I couldn't...they didn't
work...okay! We're on our way!" she hung up.
"Come on we're going to my house"
She dragged me out of the door and I didn't see her grab my song.
At the Cullen's...
We pulled up to the big white house that belonged to the Cullen's. I
walked in and ran to Rose and Emmett.
"Rose I've missed you SO much! Emmett my bro ah I need to come here
more often!"
They laughed and hugged me
"Hell yeah you do." Emmett said.
"BROOKE!" Alice screeched.
"Hey Alice," I said and I gave her a hug.
"Don't hey Alice me you HAVE to sing your song for Paul. He's going to
love it. You have to tell him how you feel!"
"But Alice..."I whined
"No you are or me and Rose won't take you shopping for 5 months."
"FINE!" I yelled defeated. Emmett laughed at my cost so I stuck my
tongue out at him. He just stuck his out at me.
"You guys are so immature." Rose rolled her eyes.
"You know you love me Rosie!" I called
"Yes, yes I do."
I laughed.
"Can we hear your song?" Esme asked
"Oh uhm can you guys come to the bonfire tomorrow? Me and Nessie will
beg Sam to let you come. PLEASE. I don't think I'll be able to do it
without Emmito laughing at me Rosie helping me, Jazzercise calming me,
and Al forcing me."
"Of course we'll come!" Carlisle said happily
"We wouldn;t miss it for the world." Bella said and smiled kindly at me.
'Thanks Belly!" Yes I know I have weird nicknames for people. Deal.
Saturday at the Bonfire...
I walked on stage with Nessie and saw the Cullens and my brother Sam
smiling at me. I tried to smile back but I just couldn't. I was way to
nervous. I felt Jasper Calm me down and I looked at him gratefully.
"Hi my name is Brooke and Nessie here is accompanying on guitar. This
is a song I wrote about someone very special to me that has a big place
in my heart. Um so yeah here it goes."
Nessie started playing and I began to sing.
"I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes
He'll never fall in love he swears
As he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing cause I hope he's wrong
I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke I fake a smile
That I know all his favorite songs
And..
I see Paul's face still not knowing the song is about him...
[chorus:]
I could tell you his favorite color's green
He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him,
I'd lie
His face fills with shock and I duck my head embarrassed...
He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on?
Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long?
He sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine
He must think I'm an idiot...
[chorus]
He stands there then walks away
My god if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you...
Why did I let Alice and Nessie make me do this!
He'd never tell you but he can play guitar
I think he can see through everything
But my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My god he's beautiful
So I put on my make up
And pray for a miracle
I keep my head down and am grateful the song is almost over...
Yes I could tell you his favorite color's green
He loves to argue oh and it kills me
His sisters beautiful he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him
If you asked me if I love him
I'd lie"
I finish and feel the crowd goes into explosive applause. I look up and
see Paul is still in shock. I feel the tears in my eyes and feel them
spilling down my face. I can't stand to see the horrified expression on
his face when he comes out of shock so I run off the stage to piece of
driftwood sobbing...
Jake's POV(Before the Bonfire)
The whole pack just got back form killing a group of leeches. Everyone
including the imprints were there minus Nessie and Brooke. They were at
the Cullen's.
"Paul you should tell Brooke" Emily told him. This happens every
bonfire but he doesn't listen.
"No she doesn't like me like that!" He growled.
We all sighed and left him alone. No one could say 'Hey guess what she
does!' cause we don't know.
I can accept the fact that Ness is there because it's her family, but
it's still hard for Paul letting his imprint go with her.
Yeah Paul imprinted on Brooke, but he won't tell her because he doesn't
want to ruin their friendship. We don't think she likes him in the same
way, and if she does she hasn't told us or our imprints. Well she might
have told them, but they haven't told us.
Quill and Jared were now taunting him saying Brooke liked tehm better
and Sam was saying that he liked him the best cause she's his sister.
We all know the truth though. She likes Quill WAYYY better than anyone
else. We don't know why though. Leah is her favorite out of the girls
though. and, if it was between Quill and Leah she would choose Leah.
Leah and Quill always fight about that.
~At the bon fire~
Brooke goes on stage and introduces her and my baby Nessie. She looks
so beautiful. Brooked starts to sing with Ness playing guitar. We were
all surprised to hear what she was singing about.
I don't think that passenger seat

Brooke finished. She really was a good singer. But she looked at Paul
who was in shock. The whole Pack was. She ran off stage sobbing. Nessie
followed behind her.
"PAUL GO!" I screamed.
He snapped out of it and ran to the beach. We all knew she would beat
the driftwood. Her and Paul's place.
Brooke's POV
I was sobbing at our place when Nessie came up beside me.
"He'll be here soon."She told me and then I heard him
"BROOKE!" he yelled
"I'll be in your room when you get home." She whispered in my ear.
She ran off an I felt Paul next to me.
That made me sob even harder.
"Brooke look at me" he pleaded
I looked up at him and he started,
"Brooke I was wrong. I fell in love I imprinted."
Of course he would. Of course the day I told him my feelings
"Go be happy hen. Forget about me." I sobbed.
"Silly girl, I imprinted on you sweetie."
"But you said that you didn't and never would..."
"I lied. I didn't want to ruin our friendship. I love you Brooke."
"I love you too."
He leaned down and kissed me. It was pure bliss. And I was finally
happy. Everything was right. Everything was perfect. Hre in my imprints
arms.
