Alright people, like I promised, the first chapter of my third story. Hope you guys enjoy it, it takes awhile to right this, mostly bc I don't want to add a bunch of worthless fluff. Fluff is fine. Just not worthless fluff. Plus, I have thought of the 'Perfect Ending,' so I'm happy about that. Now all I have to do is write it. I FINALLY read the first chapter of Ecilpse. The characters are kinda OCC. Maybe it's just because it's the first chapter, Idk. CAN"T WAIT!!!!

Story------Present day tense and none are vampires.

Chapter 1 (Edward's POV)

"Edward, you've turned seventeen. You and Alice have to get a job just like your brothers and sister did." My mother, Esme, had a family meeting to discuss our new responsibility. Even though Carlisle wasn't here. He would be defending me, but he was never home anymore. Always at the hospital where he was working.

"But why? I still have school work to do. I haven't graduated!" I exclaimed, trying to get out of it. But…I knew I was going to lose this argument. Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper had to get jobs when they turned seventeen and now Alice and I had to too.

"We made an agreement Edward." Esme scolded me.

"Plus, it'll be good to get your white butt out of the house." Rosalie, my step-sister, said, while she was filing her nails. I glared at her and she just smirked at me. We never got along. She was like the evil step sister in Cinderella. I still can't believe that Emmett liked her.

"What Rosalie is saying, is that it'll be good for you to get some experience before you go into the real world." She gave Rose a disapproving expression. Rosalie looked like she was going to say something, but she kept her mouth closed.

"Let me guess. Alice already knew about this." I looked over to my little sister. She could hardly calm her excitement down. I rolled my eyes, seeing her happy expression. She probably already knew what job she was getting. Or what job she wanted.

"We knew you couldn't debate about it if Alice accepted." Emmett grinned.

"What, did she get a job at the shopping mall? Discount on clothes?" I said, mocking my sister's habit of buying every single item in a shop. I guess she hadn't, she looked shocked and started on a rampage.

"MOM!!!COULD I????" She was jumping up and down, screaming for Esme to let her.

"Alice, you already have a job." Esme said, trying to make her calm down. Then she looked at me. "Edward, don't even try to get out of this. Alice has gotten a job at the hospital. And—"

"But why do I have to!?! I have school work to do!!" I stood up, waiting for their answer.

"Edward. It's time you do some real work." Emmett said. Of course, he was the one who wasn't doing all that great in school.

"Plus, you're already caught up to us. You could be graduating this year if you wanted to." Jasper threw in, looking up from his book.

"Yeah, so do some real work." Rosalie said, as she started playing with her hair, twirling it.

"Yeah, like you know what real work is. You just stand there while people take pictures of you." She was a model for advertising. She went into the city every few days, filming or photographing.

She gave me glare, and this time, I smirked.

"Eddie, you better watch it. Rose does more than just stand around and you know it." Emmett defended his girlfriend.

"Yeah, at least she makes it look pretty." I said, taunting Emmett. He was a guard at one of the clubs. How he got the job and being only eighteen? His size. He was a huge kid for only that age. But all he did was stand there.

His expression was just as good as Rose's. His face was scrunched up and red in fury.

I looked over to Jasper, but he quickly turned my offer down. If he said anything, I would just go and say all he does is read. He'll read anything he gets his hands on. He works in the library. Enough said.

"So see. All you guys do is just stand there. Either looking pretty or mean." I said, pushing my chair back, ready to leave the room. I was almost out when Emmett's voice stopped me.

"Don't cha want ta know what job ya got?" Emmett said, in a southern accent.

I turned around to see a now smiling couple. Ah, crap. "I'll get my own job. Not something you'll pick out."

"Too late." Rosalie smirked. "You know what I said about getting your white butt out there? It won't be white for long." She laughed. I sighed and stood there, waiting for an answer.

"Come on. You have to ask what job you got first. Or shall we let you guess?" Emmett said, scratching his chin.

"Well, you wouldn't have talked in such an accent, and something about being out in the sun. How about a male prostitute out on the streets during the day?" I said, in a completely serious face. They looked stunned and then all of them started laughing, save Esme who looked frightened.

"NO!!!!" My mom finally said after probably imagining me in some get-up, out on the streets. "No, you are NOT a-a-…" She looked flustered. "An escort." She finally said, still trying to calm herself down. I went over to her and hugged her.

"Mom, I was just teasing." I let go and saw Rosalie and Emmett still smirking at me. "Plus, Rosalie is perfect for prostituting. In fact, I bet she does it even better than me."

I was in my room within ten seconds, locking it and checking myself for bruises for all the things she threw at me. But she did tell me what I was doing. Well, yelled it at me, really.

A stable hand.

It was for one of the family's at school. They needed help and of course, Rose and Emmett volunteered me for the job. I would start tomorrow. Wow, what a warning they gave me.

A text from my phone broke my thoughts.

Good Luck! From A & E.

Alice and Esme.

Luck. That's one thing I would need.
