Summary: Lucas and Haley James are twins, and so are Nathan and Brooke Scott. Both sets of twins were born on the same day. Haley James is in love with Nathan Scott and Brooke Scott is in love with Lucas James, but both boys are so oblivious they have no idea. Haley has had it hardest out of the four, and Brooke has been there for here through it all. Best friends.
The title is from the song I'd lie by Taylor Swift :]].
I'd Lie
"Haley, please hurry your ass up."
I rolled my eyes at my best friend, Brooke Scott. We were supposed to all be hanging out in my living room while my parents Jimmy and Karen James were out of town for awhile. My twin brother, Lucas James was going to be joining us. So was Brooke's twin brother, Nathan Scott. Brooke and Nathan's mom died in child birth, so it has been Dan Scott trying to raise his children by himself, and for Nathan it was easy, but Brooke, damn that would be hard.
"Brooke, you do know they are not supposed to be here for like fifteen more minutes."
"I know, but I want to make sure that I look pretty for Luc—I mean um…Owen."
"Sure, OWEN. Whatever Brooke."
"Yeah, well you want to look gorgeous for 'Chase'."
I rolled my eyes at her again, but I knew she was right, I was in love with her brother and she was in love with mine, the only problem was that they both had absolutely no clue.
"Brooke, you don't think that Nathan's bringing that new cheerleader, do you?"
Brooke shook her head.
"I hope not, or that bitch will get her ass kicked."
I laughed at Brooke's antics. I am so glad that she's my best friend. I turned my back to Brooke.
"Tattoo check?"
"Yep, me?"
She turned her back towards me as well.
"Yep. We are good to go."
Brooke and I got drunk the day that Lucas and Nathan both got new girlfriends. Nathan's girlfriend lasted about two days, Bevin could be so stupid, but Lucas on the other hand, has still been going strong with his girlfriend Lindsay. So the night that Brooke and I got drunk, we got tattoos. I got the number '23' tattooed over my ass and she got the word 'Broody' tattooed over hers. I woke up that morning hung over and pissed at Brooke. But then I couldn't be pissed off at Brooke because she cried so hard that morning.
"Haley?"
"Yes Brooke."
"I just realized that Owen and Chase aren't even coming over today, remember we promised Nathan and Lucas a nice reunion."
I busted out laughing.
"Oh my god! You're right, I totally forgot about that! Ha-ha."
Brooke cracked a smile as they heard the front door open.
"They're here!"
Brooke smiled and pulled me down the stairs bouncing the whole way. Her smile immediately disappeared when we caught sight of who was there. Nathan's new slut, Rachel. And Lucas girlfriend, Lindsay.
Brooke scowled at what looked like to everybody else, Rachel, but to me I knew it was directed straight towards Lindsay.
"Um…you guys? Are we just going to awkwardly stand here all night because I have to go pick up something extravagant for the co-captain so that she will like me. What should I get her Brooke?"
I laughed a little. Then Rachel cut a hard look to me, big mistake.
"Do you have a problem Holly?"
"Um… it's Haley. And you should get used to it since I will be the co-captain of the Tree Hill Ravens cheer squad all year. And the only thing you can get for me is to leave."
Rachel's mouth dropped open and Brooke smiled proudly then leaned over to whisper in my ear.
"I have taught you well my friend."
I smiled to Brooke while Rachel just stood there.
"Um…Lucas, could I talk to you for a minute?"
I pulled my brother into the kitchen.
"Is there something wrong?"
I smacked Lucas up the head so hard it looked like it really hurt.
"Ow…Haley! What the hell?"
"Do you not remember that tonight was supposed to be our reunion night?"
"Of course I did, but I figured since Lindsay's my girlfriend and Rachel is Nathan's girlfriend, that maybe they could come. Is that a problem?"
"You're damn right that's a problem, you dickhead. I hate you right now. Just forget it, spend the night at Lindsay's or something because I don't want you staying in the same house as me."
I stormed out of the kitchen swinging the door as hard as I could on the way out. I went to the living room and opened the front door. Then Lucas came back in rubbing the back of his head. He stared at me.
"Are you serious?"
"Did you not here me? You need to leave. All of you."
I pointedly looked at Lindsay and Rachel, it was no secret that I didn't like Lindsay. Everybody thought it was because I was trying to protect Lucas, but I was really trying to protect Brooke. She's hurt by this.
"Haley, that's not fair."
I rolled my eyes. I hate that word. Nothing is fair in life.
"Get out. Lucas life's not fair, get over it."
"Really Haley? And how is your life not fair?"
That was it, my temper hit the roof and Brooke sensed it because in two seconds she was beside me.
"I think that you should leave Lucas."
Brooke calmly looked at Lucas.
"No I want to know the answer."
I slammed the door as hard as I could. Causing everybody but me and Brooke to flinch.
"Not fair? Who was the last boyfriend I had Lucas?"
"Well--."
"That's right, can't name one, can you? Want to know why? It's because nobody will come near me or Brooke because we have guard dogs! That's not fair. And everybody knows it! We can't live our own lives without you two threatening anybody to walk by us and show any possible interest."
"Haley we are just doing what's best for you."
Lucas tried to reason with me but I just shook my head.
"Yeah, what you think is best for me and Brooke? I don't think so."
Rachel decided now would be the time to speak up.
"Bevin told me you lost your virginity last summer."
I flinched and Brooke wound her arms around, glaring. Nathan froze and Lucas looked pissed.
"WHAT?!!"
"KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN!"
I matched his voice.
"Who in the hell touched you? I'll kill him."
Brooke smirked at Lucas.
"What makes you think it was a he?"
I couldn't contain my laughter at that point. Only Brooke would be able to make this situation funny. I soon had to lean on Brooke for support.
"That was great Brooke."
I smiled towards Brooke for lightening up the situation.
"You still haven't answered my question Haley."
I stared at Lucas.
"You see, that's my point right there. So what if I had sex, big deal, you and Lindsay have sex."
Brooke tensed and I squeezed her arm.
"That's different."
"Why because you are a guy?"
"Haley drop it. You have nothing to complain about, your life has been perfect so far don't be a spoiled bitch."
I can't believe he just said that to me. I shook my head and let the tears fall.
"You stupid selfish jackass. I hate you and even Lindsay deserves better than you. How could you even call yourself my brother? What the hell do you have to complain about anyway? Your mismatched socks? Or your broken Tonka truck when you were five years old. My problems went a little further when I was five or do you not remember?"
Lucas put his head down and I ran upstairs but accidently tripped and I heard Brooke talking to Lucas.
"You shouldn't have said that you know?"
"Brooke, I--."
"You don't get the right to say anything. You should have just kept your mouth shut. You know what tomorrow is. What the hell is wrong with you?"
I heard her going for the stairs and I quickly went up to my room and continued crying. Brooke walked in my room and held me. We heard the front door close which mean everybody had left. I cried even harder. I was starting to slightly drift off to sleep when I heard Brooke ask me the same question she asked me every night.
"Haley? Are you in love with Nathan?"
"No."
I lied.
Okay, so I'm kind of basing this off the song, I'd lie by Taylor Swift. Tell me if you like it. :]. And I will continue.
