Hey Fanfictioners. This is my first story and I'm hoping to turn it into a series so review and tell me exactly what you think.
I don't own Twilight. I don't own Jasper. Not Alice either. My wishes never come true...
Edward's POV
I thought life would get more interesting after I graduated, but I was sadly mistaken. It's been three months since I graduated from high school for the twenty fifth time in my vampire existence, but in this little town of Forks, Washington, there wasn't much to do. I was thinking of going hunting when it happened. Sitting at the kitchen table looking at today's paper while Esme hummed to herself, dusting the unused cabinets and drawers, I heard him approaching. By the time he made it to the house, everyone was gathered in the kitchen with us. He was only this fast when he was excited. His thoughts getting louder with every bounding step.
"I just had the most amazing idea to try!" Emmett yelled, pulling the door off the hinges and dropping it on Jasper's toe.
"Ow!" Jasper yelled, looking at his brother incredulously.
"Oops," Emmett replied while picking up the door and carefully placing it against the wall.
"Go on," I said, encouraging him to proceed.
"Oh yeah! I was walking down the street when a poster caught my eye," Emmett said starting a story I knew would take at least an hour.
"Emmett. I don't want to be mean but can you get to the idea part because I need to go hunting soon-"
"Yeah you do!" Emmett interrupted.
"What are you trying to say Emmett?" Carlisle said, also trying to hurry him along. Dr. Cullen had to be at the hospital in five minutes for his shift.
"The Seattle Crime Scene Investigation Unit was looking for recruits so I took the liberty of signing up….everyone!" He yelled like it was a good thing.
Jasper looked way more comfortable than I knew he was. His thoughts betrayed him. There were a lot of emotions about this new discovery. I decided to make this easier on him.
"We can't turn down the job without trying it first. It's something completely new and I think it sounds….interesting," I announced. Everyone started thinking at once, some yelling, some contemplating.
"I don't like it," Jasper said, making us wonder, "The blood?" he reminds us.
"Jasper, "Carlisle says softly,"I'm sure with a little practice, you can be around blood. It will take time but if we can, you can." Carlisle always thought of things as group efforts even though he wouldn't be in this one. Carlisle worked at the hospital too much for him to take this job.
Jasper thought about this, thinking back and forth why he should or shouldn't do it. Thinking about the lives that would be in danger if he smelled the blood on the ground.
"They have lab jobs, too!" Emmett boomed excitedly, surprising me and making me lose concentration on Jasper.
"Ok. Alice seems to want to anyway. I don't want to spoil her fun," He said smiling at Alice, kissing her on the cheek.
"I can save us a whole lot of time by saying we all agree that it would be a good experience to try and we'll decide if we like it after the first case," Now Alice was the one smiling. She made that up hoping we would agree if she acted the part just right. "Don't say anything Edward!" She thought, "Just go along with it, for me."
"I'm in," I said aloud so everyone would hear me.
"But what about my nails and shoes? Won't they get dirty? Is there a dress code?" Of course Rosalie would think of these things.
"More reason to go shopping like I know you love to do so much," Emmett said, still pleading his case.
After a moment of thought, she finally agreed and Emmett took us, minus Carlisle, to our job interviews.
