So this is very different for me. I never support Edward with anyone except Bella, but we're going to give this a shot and see what happens. This is based on the song Liar by Eden's Edge, and this is what popped into my head when I heard it. Enjoy and see you at the bottom.

I smiled, watching the kids playing in the park. It was a gorgeous summer day, and I leaned back against the bench, letting out a sigh. It was rare to have such gorgeous days in Forks so I knew that there was nowhere I would rather be than sitting here, soaking up the sunshine. I felt someone filling the bench seat beside me, and I turned to find my oldest friend there. "Well hey, Edward. What are you doing here?"

He smiled, glancing at me before looking at the people filling up the park. "Hey, Bella. I was just out for a walk in the nice sun, and I saw you sitting here all alone. What are you up to?"

"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to be out here today. I doubt the nice weather will last all that long."

"You got that right," Edward agreed with a laugh.

Edward was my oldest friend. We met in elementary school when we got put beside each other. Edward made friends with everyone, and I was a very shy student, so we were put together by the teacher so I would make at least one friend. And it worked. We were quick friends, and it lasted all through school until our 23 years of age. In high school, everyone expected us to date, but neither of us saw the other that way. We've been best friends, nothing more and nothing less.

"So, I have some news, Bella."

I turned to find Edward watching me, and I sat up a little straighter. "What is it?"

Edward swallowed and then a grin lit up his face. "I met a girl. She's new to town, and I just can't stop thinking about her."

I jaw dropped and I turned to face him, "Edward! That's amazing! What's her name?"

"Her name is Tanya. She's different." Edward looked away as a blush formed on his cheeks, and I smiled. After his last girlfriend, Lauren, cheated on him, Edward found it hard to trust girls. I just hoped this girl would treat him well.

"I'm so happy for you, Edward. Really. Did you ask her out?"

"Yeah, I did. We ran into each other at the market, literally, and we talked for a little while. We're going out Friday night."

I clapped my hands together and jumped up from the bench. "Oh, Edward! Where are you taking her? What will you wear? We need to plan now!"

Edward laughed and leaned back on the bench. "Bella, it's three days away."

"Exactly, Edward! Only three days!"

He shook his head and grabbed my wrist, pulling me back down onto the bench. "I was thinking about taking her to the theater; they are playing that new romantic comedy. Then I was going to take her on a walk by the water. It's supposed to be a warm night."

I smiled, seeing the worry on Edward's face. He was always one to question whether his ideas were good enough or not. "I think that's wonderful, Edward. She'll love it, I'm sure. The water looks gorgeous at dusk."

Edward's smile grew at my affirmation, and he nodded. "And as for clothes, I have no idea what I'll wear. Probably jeans a button up."

I stared at Edward and slowly shook my head. "You're unbelievable, Edward. You can't just pick it out the day of!" I jumped up again, grabbing his hand to pull him up, "Come on, lover boy. Let's go figure out what you'll wear."

"Bella, you're insufferable."

I smiled and stuck my tongue out at him, "But you know you'll thank me for it later. So hush and let's go."

By the time I tore through Edward's closet, hours had passed and we missed out on most of the sunlight that the gorgeous day had offered. The good news was Edward now had the perfect first date outfit, and we went to the nearby Chinese restaurant for some takeout. We had come back to his place and took our usual seats by the coffee table in front of the television as we ate. I reached over and tried to steal a bite of Edward's food.

"Just what do you think you're doing there, Bella?"

I glanced up and found his eyes on me, and I slowly pulled my fork back with a grin. "Oh, nothing."

He chuckled and bumped me with his shoulder, "Yeah, sure thing, thief. Eat your own food."

"You're so mean to me." I stuck out my bottom lip and Edward laughed.

"I bought that food for you, Bella! I'll take it back since I'm so mean."

Edward reached for my food, and I jerked the container back quickly. His hand hit the table, causing him to lose his balance and fall towards me. I laughed, and moved further away so he couldn't grab me. Edward lunged, laughing, and caught my calf just as I set the food on the table. I fell to the ground, causing Edward to land half on top of me. His hands found my waist as he tickled me, and I busted out into laughter.

"Take it back, Bella! I'm not mean." Edward chuckled, continuing to tickle my stomach.

I laughed harder, trying to twist away but just making the situation worse. "No, Edward!"

In the next second, the front door opened, and we both stopped as a deep laugh sounded from the doorway. "Well, well. What have I walked in on now?"

Edward moved away from me and I sat up, twisting to find Emmett in the door. He closed it behind him and I shook my head, "Nothing, Emmett. Edward is just trying to steal my food."

A smirk appeared on Emmett's face and he looked between us, "Yeah, I think he was trying to steal something from you."

"Dammit, Emmett." Edward muttered as he threw a pillow at him.

I laughed as Emmett went to his room and closed the door. Emmett is Edward's older brother, and they have always been extremely close despite how often Emmett picks on him. Being only 2 years older, they have always been close throughout their lives and decided to move into together after they were both out of school.

Edward and I went back to our original seats, and he muttered under his breath. I bumped his shoulder with mine and smiled as he looked up at me. "He's just messing with you, Edward. You know that."

He gave me a small smile before looking away again. "Yeah, I know."

I glanced down at my food and moved some of it around with my fork. It always bothered Edward when people picked on him about being so close to me, but I never really knew why. I knew that he didn't think of my as anything but a friend, the same way I never thought of him as more. After a few minutes, Emmett's door opened back up and he came to sit on the couch in his sweatpants and t-shirt.

I threw away my food and took a seat beside him, hitting him on the shoulder as I sat down. "So what have you been up to today, loser?"

Emmett feigned injury as he held his shoulder and looked over at me. "How she wounds me!"

I laughed and reclined on the couch, poking Emmett's leg with my foot. "Seriously, though. What's going on with you?"

Emmett smiled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, uh…I actually have something to show you guys."

I smiled and Edward turned to look at Emmett. "What is it?"

Emmett pulled a small box from his pocket, and I let out a gasp as he opened it. "Oh my, Emmett! Seriously?"

He nodded and showed us the ring inside the box. Emmett had clearly been saving up from the size of the diamond sitting in the middle of the ring. There were smaller diamonds on the sides of the band, and it was intricately weaved together, giving the ring a very elegant and detailed look.

"Emmett, it's gorgeous!" I told him, my jaw dropped as I looked at the ring.

Edward moved over to see it, and he clapped his brother on the back. "You did good, Em. When you planning on asking her?"

Emmett glanced at the ring once more before closing the box and putting it back into his pocket. "I'm not entirely sure. Soon, though. I'm tired of waiting. I know she's the one for me."

I smiled and nudged Emmett again. "And here I thought I was your true love, Em!"

Emmett laughed and nudged me back, "You know you will always have my heart, Bells."

Edward chuckled and walked into the kitchen. I took the moment to lean closer to Emmett because I knew Edward wouldn't tell him. "So, Edward has a date with some new girl on Friday. Don't embarrass him, Emmett."

He smirked and glanced toward the kitchen before looking back to me. "Oh, you don't say. What's her name?"

"Tanya. I don't know the last name. Apparently she just moved here, or something like that."

Emmett nodded once and gave me a long look. "So…you and Edward really aren't going to be a thing, then? This doesn't bother you?"

My eyes scrunched up and a laugh busted out of me. "Shit, Em. No! Why do you always think that?" Emmett had always been the biggest supporter of me dating his brother, but I never could figure out how he got that idea in his thick skull.

Emmett shrugged and looked at the TV. "You two always just seemed like a good match."

I shook my head and turned to look at Edward moving around in the kitchen. I could easily see why girls were always after him. He is extremely handsome, but he's also a genuinely good person. He's a real catch, and I never had a problem understanding why a girl would want to be with him. But he just never was the one for me. It never bothered me that he was with other girls, though. Edward was just my friend, and that was always more than enough fro me. "He's just a friend, Em. That's all."

Please review and let me know what you think! I will update on a schedule of probably one chapter a week so be on the lookout for new ones.
