Alright, here's Chapter 2. I'm really excited because I've already had a few people put this story on alert or favorites. Lei, the review chain is working! I guess our praying paid off! ;)

"Nice back stroke, son," my dad, Carlisle, called from behind me. It was our monthly meet up, and of course, we spent it at the damned Country Club playing golf. I swear, Dad and his new twenty something trophy wife, Esme probably spent more than half of the week here, drinking ridiculously expensive drinks and eating caviar.

My father wasn't always the self centered son of a bitch he is now. I can remember when I was kid and my mom was still alive. Every moment he wasn't at work, he would spend it at home, with his family. Now, whenever he wasn't charging his patients a fortune to get their ugly ass faces fixed up, he was on some exotic island with Esme. I didn't hate Esme, hate is a strong word. It was more of a strong distaste for that cheap whore who was five years my senior.

"Carlisle, darling! Mr. Whitlock wants to have drinks with us in the West Bar. You two can finish your little game later. Oh and Edward dear, Jasper is over at the pool if you want to go see him." I smiled, relieved to end this stupid game. Who the fuck likes golf except for loaded, middle aged bastards?

"Thanks Esme." As I walked past her, she reached out a hand and stroked my shoulder, slowly running her fingers down my lower back. To any stranger, this would have seemed like a nice motherly gesture. But I knew better. Esme wanted me, bad. I turned my head and gave her a knowing smile. In return, she licked her lips suggestively before turning to my dad and hauling him off to the West Bar.

Esme and I had an odd relationship. Sometimes, when I felt like it, I would play her little game and flirt with her. But nothing ever happened between us. Only teasing. But Esme appreciates the chase.

I made my way over to the pool, carefully avoiding the smoothie stand where Jessica Stanley worked. You fuck one time and she all of a sudden thinks our souls are one kindred spirit or some bullshit like that.

"Eddie, you son of a bitch!" Jasper called from a bar next to the pool, I walked over to him and took the bar stool next to him.

"Dude, I told you never to call me that," I said. Jasper was an obnoxious asshole but he was also one of my best friends. We're both sophomores at Harvard University. How he ever got in, I'll never know. Jasper is like the epitome of fuck ups. He's done everything and anything remotely bad and has even gotten me into some of that shit too. Yet my father still encourages our friendship, probably because Mr. Jasper Whitlock Senior was the head of my father's clinic.

"I got a delivery this morning from James." He said excitedly. His eyes were clouded over and I could tell he was on something. But when was Jasper ever not on something? Hell, he was stoned at Esme and Carlisle's wedding!

He gingerly pulled out a plastic baggy of pink pills from his jean pocket and handed me one. "What is it?" I asked cautiously. I enjoyed a little high as much as the next guy, but knowing Jasper, this was probably some serious shit.

"Not sure, but it gives you one hell of a high." He grinned, and I shrugged, popping the pill in my mouth. What have I got to lose?

*****

Okay, I could definitely feel the pill's effects. I couldn't think straight and everything suddenly became the funniest thing I have ever seen. Jasper and I wandered around the grounds laughing at each other every time one of us tripped, which was pretty frequently.

After an hour of continuous stupidity, Jasper's effects began to wear off, whereas mine was reaching its peak. We ran into our parents. It was so hard to not laugh. My eyes were watering and my heart was pounding furiously, but I still managed to fool my dad. "Son, your flight to Washington leaves in a couple hours; I sent a car to drive you home so you can pack. Are you feeling okay? You look a little green." Okay so maybe I hadn't fooled him as much as I thought.

"I'm fine, just a little too much to drink," I slurred. That earned me a deadly glare and a look of disappointment. Screw you and your hypocritical ass.

My father's face turned a bright red. Did I just say that out loud? Fuck. He roughly grabbed me by the arm and walked me over to the car, me stumbling every step of the way. For some reason I found this whole situation hilarious and I couldn't help but laugh at my father's face. "You just look so angry!" I laughed again.

He opened the car door and shoved me in. "Obviously you're on something stronger then alcohol. I'm extending your trip to Washington from one week to the entire summer. Maybe living with your sister will teach you some responsibility. So get off your sorry ass and go find a job while you're there. And If I hear one word of complaint from your sister, you can say goodbye to your trust fund Edward." And with that he slammed the door in my face and stalked off. That pretty much sobered me up.

The second I reached Baggage Claim, Alice hurtled toward me and threw her small arms around my shoulders.

"Eddie! I've missed you." There's that name again. Why does everyone insist on calling me that? I brushed it off because she was my sister and chuckled. "Missed you too Ally." We spent the car ride catching up and I told her the whole story about what happened at the country club.

"Pink pills Eddie? Really? You don't even know what that shit is! You could have died!" Alice, being Alice, liked to be dramatic about everything. "And don't even try to say 'Well, Jasper took them too!' That's bull shit. We all know Jasper's a druggie, that doesn't mean that you have to take stupid shit with him every time you two are together. And……." I tuned her out after that. I really didn't feel like being lectured twice in one day.

My eyes drifted over to the window as the green buzzed by in a blur. Forks, Washington: trees, trees, and more trees! Why Alice chose this town to live in, I will never know. Most likely to get away from our father since this is the last place he'd ever want to be in. Alice and my father never got along ever since Esme came in our lives. The moment the two said their "I dos," Alice picked up her shit and left, she didn't even use any of her trust fund money. In fact, she hasn't even touched it, whereas I have blown through mine like fucking toilet paper.

We pulled into the Apartment complex parking lot and it finally hit me. This is where I'll be living for the next three months. Oh Jesus, kill me now. Okay so I admit it, growing up with a dad as a doctor turned me into a spoiled brat. But what can you expect from someone who's spent most've his life living in a mansion with his own floor?

Alice turned the keys and the car turned off she looked at me and smiled, "Not exactly Beverly Hills, but hey, I have my own place and my own life, right?" I nodded my head and got out of the car. Alice popped the trunk to get my bags and said "So about the whole job thing, I guess I can get you a job at Carl's Bar. But seriously Eddie, if you fuck up this job, Carl will have my ass. I'm hiding all the cough medicine in my house just so you know." That, I had to laugh at.

"Alice this isn't fucking Crank, okay? I'm not an addict. If someone offers me some shit, I'll do it. But I don't have my own dealer, okay? Jesus Christ." Alice narrowed her eyes at me for a second, and then walked off. Damned Pixie.

Once we were at the apartment, Alice showed me to the guest room. Thank god I get my own room! Who knows, it might come in handy if I meet a girl here.

"Okay Eddie, I have to leave for my shift at Carl's in a couple minutes, and I'll talk to him about letting you be a busboy or something." Gee, thanks Ally. "My friend Bella is coming over to entertain you for a while, okay?"

I groaned. "Please, stop calling me Eddie." She reached up on her tippy toes and kissed my cheek. "I'm your older sister, I can call you whatever the hell I want." She gave me a shit eating grin and walked out the door, the last thing I saw was her little hand flipping me off and then the door shut in my face. It seemed that everyone was doing that to me these days.
