I don't own twilight

Introduction

E.J. Cullen is the twin brother of Renesmee Cullen. This is a short glimpse of him as he is experiencing "teenage angst".

Finally my parents were out of town and I was going to have a little freedom. Nobody knows how hard it is to not only live in a house full of vampires but to top it off those with special abilities.

Earlier that day

"I'm home" I bellowed as I walked into the kitchen.

"Hi sweetie" Esme greeted me with a big smile and a huge plate of pizza rolls. I quickly landed myself into one of the bar stools and popped one into my mouth. "Emmmm thanks Esme, I'm starving." Lately I've wanted to eat about every two hours.

"Anything abnormal happen today?" She asked tossing the empty box in the recycle bin. Abnormal was her way of asking anything better than the norm.

"Na, not really." I mumbled while stuffing another pizza roll in my mouth.

"I picked up a few extra things at the store today." Esme placed a box on the kitchen table next to me. I told Carlisle and Esme I was going to stay the night at Quil's house since his father Quil Sr. was having a bon fire in honor of the first full moon of the year. It wasn't a total lie. I was going to go to the bonfire at least to pick Quil up.

Peering inside I saw she had all the ingredients for s'mores. She must have gone to Sam's Club because everything looked as if it were bought in bulk. We all knew the La Push gang could eat anyone out of house and home. A small wave of guilt passed through my body but I still managed to smile and mumble a small thanks.

"Your parents called earlier today. They are having a great time touring the city and even dragged Nessie on a boat tour to see the statue of liberty up close."

"They got Nes on a boat! It's official the gods are doing their work." I sarcastically stated. The last time we were on a boat Nessie puked her guts out from motion sickness.

Esme's smile was a bit of smirk. "They gave her some Dramamine and apparently she made her way through it."

"Maybe we can get her knee boarding this summer then." It was a long shot but maybe it would happen.

"I'm going to work on the garden a bit. The rabbits keep eating my tomato plants and I need to set some wire around them." Esme loved her garden, even if she couldn't enjoy the food when it was ripe. She enjoyed the process and nurturing her plants.

"Have fun I'm going to watch TV for a while."

About 45 minutes later I was channel surfing when I heard Esme bound up the front steps.

"EDWARD JACOB CULLEN get in here." Esme yelled as she walked through the door.

Oh shit! She used my full name.

I turned off the TV and walked into the entry way.

"What's wrong?" I asked as innocently as I could. I was confused and quickly retraced my day in my head but nothing stuck out.

"What exactly are you planning to do tonight?" One hand was on her hip and the other held her cell phone.

No way, you've got to be kidding me. How could she know about my real plans with Quil.

"What do you mean, I'm going over to Quil's." I stated looking confused. That wasn't a complete lie, I was going over there.

"Don't you lie to me EJ, I just got off the phone with your Aunt and she very explicitly told me you had other plans tonight."

ALICE…..I'm going to kill her! I could feel my temper starting to grow. How could she tell on me? More importantly why was she focusing on my future when she was supposed to be spending "quality time with Jasper?

I let out a low growl thinking of her and how she betrayed me.

"Fucking Alice" I mumbled barely audible but Esme caught it clearly.

"Watch your tongue, you are already in trouble. Now I am going to ask you one more time and for your own good I would answer honestly." Esme was all business now.

Are you kidding me? I'm so sick of not being able to be a normal teenager.

Crossing my arms and raising my voice I answered her question with another question. "Why don't you tell me since the stupid pixie already called you before I even did anything!" I spat.

"EDWARD!" She snapped quickly at my rude remark. "My patience is growing very thin with you right now."

"Yea well, so is mine! Why can't everyone mind their own GOD DAMN BUSINESS including you! Is it not enough my dad can read every damn thought in my head but now I'm getting in trouble for something I may or may not do?" I yelled at her.

Esme was furious. She inhaled a long breath and exhaled through her clenched teeth. "Edward Jacob Cullen, you get your behind up those stairs and into your room right now and don't even think about stepping one foot out of that doorway." She had a sharp finger pointed up the stairway.

"FINE!" I said and turned to up the long stairway.

"Don't you even think about slamming that door young man." Esme yelled at me as I rolled my eyes turning to walk up the stairs.

Oh just wait that door isn't going to have any hinges when I'm through with it. What can they do to me now? I'm already grounded until my parents come home and then probably until eternity.

I stomped up the stairs making sure my steps were extra heavy hoping it would send vibrations through the entire house.

This is fucking bullshit. I didn't even do anything and I'm confined to my bedroom on a Friday night.

SLAM! I walked into my room whipping the door behind me!

I heard a growl come from down stairs and for a brief moment I was nervous I may have slammed my door a little too loud but Esme did not come up the steps.

I fell backward onto my bed glaring up at the ceiling. The tears welled in my eyes and I couldn't control them as they ran out of my face.

Was it really that big of a deal to go to a party on a Friday night that didn't include obnoxiously protective vampires? Quil and I were going Caleb Uly's bonfire on the beach. It would be impossible for Alice to see the case of beer and vodka that was in Quil's trunk, her visions didn't extend to the La Push crowd. How did she know? What did she tell Esme?

What ever Alice…

Carlisle is going to be home soon and be pissed once Esme explains my tantrum to him. Why did I talk to Esme like that? He could tolerate a lot and I mean a lot. He may be the most patient man in the entire world next to Gandhi. One thing he did not tolerate though was his children being disrespectful.

He even grounded Emmitt once. Wiping my eyes I chuckled at the memory. Emmitt was 90 years old and Carlisle sent him strait to his room like he was a 12 year old boy. Although the people in my family were much older than they appeared and had more life experience than any human they still at times were confined to their adolescent emotions and actions. Carlisle and Esme still remained the parental figures for our family but unfortunately for me I had an extra set of authority figures to deal with. The amusement from my memory quickly vanished as I knew I was in for it later. Great. I thought. What do I have in store for me?

It's probably a good thing nobody else was home when I mouthed off to Esme, my backside would probably still be stinging. Who was I kidding, Carlisle would be home soon and his absence was only prolonging the inevitable. Everyone was protective of Esme, you don't disrespect your mother, or grandmother for that matter. She can hold her own, that's for sure but nobody wanted to see her feelings hurt.

I wanted nothing more than to send Alice's pixie butt flying through a window. Of course she had to tell Esme what I was really planning on doing.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and texted Quil. There was no way I was getting away with a phone conversation without Esme hearing. I turned my phone to silent so she wouldn't hear my phone chirping. I turned on some music but low so I didn't irritate Esme anymore then I already had.

EJ "Got caught…ALICE."

Q "No shit?"

EJ "Yea she called Esme"

Q "How did she see me?"

EJ "No clue"

Q "Fuck man, is she going to call my dad?"

EJ "Maybe…stuck in my room….sorry man"

Q "Well we didn't really do anything so maybe it won't be that bad"

EJ "Err…..yea if that was all I did"

Q "Dude EJ what did you do?"

EJ "Err….told her to mind her OWN GDB"

Q "OMG….you have a death wish"

EJ "Tell me about it…"

Q "At least your dad is gone….for now"

EJ "Except Carlisle will be home soon"

Q "Whose worse Carlisle's hand or your dads?"

EJ "FUCK….both of them hurt like hell"

"At least my dad has some time to calm down"

Q "How many times has Carlisle "punished" you?"

EJ "Not much…..only when he is really pissed…maybe twice"

Q "Well at least your dad doesn't use a belt like mine!"

EJ "DUDE your dad isn't a VAMPIRE"

Q "Agreed….

I heard a car pull up into the drive way. I hopped up and peered out my window through the slit in the blinds as Carlisle pulled his car next to the garage.

EJ "Gotta go Carlisle is home…..i'm dead"

Q "Good luck bro.."

When I brought my eyes back to the window Esme was making her way towards Carlisle.

She must want to talk to him outside so he is out of ear shot. Carlisle set his leather brief case down on the front porch and they both made their way down the driveway. As Esme was talking she threw her hands up in the air with animation. Carlisle stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head back toward the house glancing up at my window. I quickly shot back so he wouldn't see me but I caught a glance of his face. He looked stunned and a bit like he couldn't comprehend what Esme was saying. He then embraced Esme into a hug and held her for a moment. He kissed the top of her forehead and whispered something in her ear. A moment later Esme was making her way back toward the house.

"Shit shit shit shit" Was all I kept repeating in my head. My heart was racing steadily now and growing faster as the time went by.
