Author's Note: This is I'd Lie. I was listening to Taylor Swift's song "I'd Lie" and all of a sudden this hit me. Please review and sorry if it royally sucks, it's my first one. I would listen to the song while you read this, especially the chorus and first stanza. Okay so.... ENJOY!!

I do not own Twilight(sadly). And I do not own the song I'd Lie.

Cheers erupt from the small house as Alice chugged yet another beer. Tomorrow she'll wake up with one massive headache, but at the moment I don't think she's too worried about that. Sure tonight when I sneak her back into her room without her parents knowing, she'll most likely be loud and obnoxious, but that's just a part of her. She the wild party type and I'm the responsible quiet type. But that's okay because we, as best friends, balance each other out well.

She's gorgeous, barely five feet tall, and has a bubbly personality that everyone loves. You just can't help but love Alice Cullen. Her short, spiky brown locks and innocent blue eyes make it very hard to try, until you don't bother to try at all. While Alice is beautiful, popular, and loveable I'm just me. Plain old Bella Swan. You could describe me with one word: ordinary. I have brown hair and boring brown eyes. My features are plain and my personality is anything but wild. Top it off with my love of reading and klutziness, and you practically have a social outcast. But oh no, Alice would not let that happen. Ever since she moved here from Chicago with her mom, dad, and brother in fifth grade, she has made it her life's mission to get me to break out of my shell. So, since we've practically been attached at the hip since we were eleven it's been very tiring to turn down all her attempts to get me to lighten up.

Alice always gets invited to go to everybody's parties. Even when we were sophomores the seniors made it a point to try and persuade Alice to come to their parties. Alice, with her devilish little mind, always tells them the same thing-"I won't go unless Bella goes." So by doing this she forces me to be the center of attention, because the next thing I know I'm now getting pelted with invite after invite. Unfortunately for me, I cant say no to that many people and Alice's pout at the same time, so I usually end up agreeing. She's a tricky one isn't she?

We are currently at Tyler Crowely's house. His parents went away on yet another one of their "bonding trips" leaving Tyler, and the house, unsupervised. So what better way to celebrate freedom then by totally abusing it and throwing a party with every member of the junior and senior class in attendance, right? Wrong. I try another time to just blend into the wall. But fate has other plans.

"Bellaaaa," Alice slurs. Great, just fantastic my best friend's drunk and it's not even ten yet. But she is acting too funny for me to stay mad for long. Her eyes keep crossing and she's swaying to the music a little too deeply and I think she might fall over if she keeps swaying like that.

"Yes Alice?" I ask in the kindest way imaginable, since she is not facing me but one of the Crowely's plants.

"Bella I think you should come and dance with me and some boys," she says. Is she serious? Me and dancing do not belong in the same sentence. "I think I like the tall one but you can have the chubby one," she giggles, and then waves to two blondes, Jasper and Mike.

"Alice, you know I cant dance to save my life! I think I should go save Edward from Jessica so he can drive us home. You don't look too good." Ah, Edward. Edward Cullen is Alice's twin brother. They look nothing alike though. He is almost six feet tall with piercing green eyes and bronze colored hair. He could make any girl melt by just looking at them, including me. I figured he wouldn't like anyone as plain as me, so I'm content with just being his friend. Sometimes I even give him advice or he tells me all his worries or problems. That's usually only when he can't find Alice though. But what I wouldn't give to be the one he always came home to… the one he kisses and comforts and…

I realized while daydreaming about Edward that Alice has wandered off. Great hunt for your drunken best friend time already? I checked the dance floor first, only to find Alice was nowhere to be found. Next, I went down the hall to search the bathrooms. Since Tyler's parents are constantly gone there have been a lot of parties in this house, so practically all the juniors and seniors know their way around it as if they actually lived there. No Alice in the bathroom or bedrooms, although I did stumble across Lauren and Tyler in his bed, and I was really wishing I didn't have a photographic memory. Ew! Finally I found her outside the house, behind the bushes, puking her guts out.

"Oh Bella," she moaned, before emptying her stomach contents once again. I held back her hair while she continued to puke for several more minutes. I helped her walk over to the stairs and sat her down, telling her to put her head in between her knees. It seemed to have worked because she didn't look as pale as before.

"Alice, honey, feel better?" She just nodded. "Okay I need you to stay right here while I go find Edward and get the keys. Can you do that and stay right on this step?" I felt like a mother talking to a three year old child but sometimes that's what I had to be with Alice. Again he just nodded her head and laid down on the step, as if to prove she wouldn't get up.

I found Edward quickly. Uh oh. He's fighting with Jessica again. I swear they fight more than anyone I know. As I got closer I heard some of their fight.

"So what you're saying is that while I've been getting extra help in English Lit. you've been cheating on me with Mike Newton?!"

"Don't blame this on me Edward Cullen! If you had spent more time with me and not with that skank Bella Swan we wouldn't have this problem! You don't actually expect me to believe you were working on lit do you?"

"Well actually yes, I can! Because she's my English Literature tutor Jessica! How can you be so dense!" That's when I decided I better stop this fight before Jessica pushed Edward over the edge. So I cleared my throat and waited politely until I had both Edward's and Jessica's attention.

"Oh speak of the she-witch! Why hello Bella what brings you to us on this fine evening? Didn't you get enough of Eddie at your last session?" She was practically hissing the words at me. I could tell Edward was about to say some very not nice things to Jessica so I piped up.

"First off Jess," I sneered her name like a curse word, "I am Edward's tutor. We are nothing more than friends, although I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't understand that considering I'm his tutor and not you." I was briefly aware that we now had an audience, "Secondly, I didn't come here you talk to you, so get lost or shut it," With that I turned to Edward, "Hey sorry to interrupt but Alice isn't feeling so hot."

"This early?" I could hear the pity and awe in his voice as he spoke.

"Uh huh. So I came here to ask for the keys to the car. I'll drive Alice home and then come back with the car and walk to your place. I think I'm going to need to take care of her tonight so she doesn't make a fool of herself or get herself caught by Carlisle or Esme."

"Nah you don't need to go through all the trouble of leaving and coming back." He said. His gaze drifted over to where Mike was comforting Jess and I saw anger and hurt in his eyes. He looked straight into her eyes as he spoke. "This party is starting to fade fast anyway. No good company. Oh and Jess, I hope it's safe to say we're over." With that he took my hand and pulled me to the front door and out into the night breeze.

"It's not like we were in love but still! We were in a committed relationship! I mean seriously and then to just find her all over Mike, when she's supposed to be my freaking date! Argh!"

"I guess I kind of get where she was coming from about the whole us dating thing. But if she felt that way, why didn't she just come talk to me? Why Mike Newton, of all people, she chose to sneak around with is beyond me." We stopped at a red light and he pounded his fists into the steering wheel.

We were driving in his Volvo with Alice asleep in the back seat. Edward had been going off none-stop about how mad he was at Jess, but underneath it all I could tell he was seriously hurting. He took in a deep breath and looked me in the eye for the first time since the party.

"I mean, I knew was going to break up with her, but this… it just kind of stings to know she felt she had to sneak around." At that point I saw in Edward's eyes how much Jessica had truly hurt him. His normally vibrant green orbs were pained and clouded. They were still beautiful, just not as much as before. So I took a deep breath and decided to inform him about my experience in this department.

"You know how I went out with that kid from the reservation Jacob Black last year?" Edward nodded and continued to drive, but I could tell I had his full attention. Nobody but Alice, Emmett and Rosalie knows the truth about what happened with Jake.

"You probably know this but Jake was a senior. So for him to go for a girl like me, I just felt special. Jake told from the very beginning that he loved me, that had loved me for a long time and would love me for an even longer time. I was shocked. He said I didn't have to say it back yet, he just wanted me to know. So we went out for three months and I was happy. So happy. For our fourth month anniversary he said he wants to take me out for a 'special dinner for his special lady'," I chuckled darkly.

"I finally decided that I did love Jacob and I wanted to tell him. I thought it would perfectly romantic for me to tell him at this 'special dinner'. I got to his house a little early for our date and his dad, Billy, told me he was up in his room. So I happily skipped up the stairs to find Jake in there with Leah Clearwater on his bed, kissing, and with no clothes on. I started to cry and throw things at Jake and he just stared at me and got him and Leah dressed. When I asked him why he did it he said I couldn't provide for him what he needed so he had to get it elsewhere. 'But you said you loved me.' I cried to him. He just looked me straight in the eyes and said, 'Sometimes people say things they don't mean. You were a challenge I thought I could solve and get you to do what I wanted. I'm sorry Bella, but you took to long. I'm with Leah now. Goodbye'." I sniffled a little as I told the story. I had trusted him but he abused that trust, much like Jessica had with Edward.

"I know how you're feeling and what you're going through, but just remember to look on the bright side."

"What bright side?"

"At least you weren't in love with Jessica." I giggled at the thought of Jessica being the subject of any guy's love, much less a great one like Edward.

He snorted. "Love? With Jessica? There is no way those two words should be in the same sentence. Besides, at the rate I'm going I won't have to worry about falling in love. I'll never be in love." Damn! Never fall in love?!

Then his gaze softened and his hand pulled his hair back, one of his nervous habits. "I never knew that's what went down with you two, Bella. You and Alice always said that he was getting on your nerves so you called it quits. I just never thought…" he trailed off.

"Hey it's no biggie," I told him. His expression had gone from shock to sadness to anger in about five minutes.

"No biggie?! Bella that's worse than what Jess did! That little… when I get my hands on him he'll pay Bella, don't you worry!"

I laughed at the absurdity of his statement. Edward just looked at me questioningly. By this time we had arrived to the Cullen's house and were parked in the safety of their garage.

"Okay to start, not only is Jake two years older than you but he's huge! Like massively huge!" Edward frowned at that and opened his mouth to say something but I silenced him by placing a finger on his lip.

"Secondly Emmett, Alice, and Rose beat you to the whole make him pay thing. So as nice as you were to offer I think he's suffered enough." He snickered and I laughed with him.

"And lastly, we are home now so I have to take Alice upstairs before she starts to throw up in your nice expensive car." He looked frightened at the thought and I laughed knowing he wasn't frightened for Alice but for his precious car.

"Come on let's get her out of my baby," he said, then rushed back and lifted her up and out of the car.

I just laughed because he doesn't realize how well I know him. Oh if only he knew.
