~NOBODY'S POV~

Tony stood up and shook Jacob's hand too enthusiastically. Why is he always so hyped? "great to see you, Jake. I hope you're ready for your first shift here. You'll do great!" he handed Jake a black vest with the club logo on it and a name tag. His name tag. "thank you sir." Was all Jacob said as he put on the vest and pinned on name tag, feeling a bit nervous but also excited to start his new job. Tony led Jacob to the main bar area where he, again, showed him how to pour drinks, mix cocktails, and handle money. Jacob was a quick learner(a given since he is a descendant and has the genes of a canis lupus familiaris), impressing Tony with his skills. As the club started to fill up, Jacob found himself quite busy, but he enjoyed it. The people, the energy, the smell of different alcohols.

The music was good, and the atmosphere electric, the people chill and all.

By midnight, the club was packed. Jacob was working non-stop, taking orders, pouring drinks, and making sure everyone had what they needed. He could feel his energy levels dropping but forced himself to keep going. luckily, because he is a werewolf shifter, his energy was more than enough. The other staff though attributed it to him being a young teen.

As the night went on, he even found himself getting more and more comfortable in his new environment. He even caught the eye of a few attractive and non-attractive patrons. Both genders but especially the males. who he made a point to chat with and serve drinks to even though they looked like they'd jump him any moment if it wasn't for the bouncer who stood menacingly by the corner (who was probably made to by Tony, but hey. He's greatful nonetheless).
He felt like he was finally starting to find his place in life. By the time it was 3:59 AM Jacob was happy and ready to go home. He was happy because a few older people (perverts) both male and female (especially male for some reason) tipped him because of how "attractive" he was. And how he was a "breath of fresh air" and how great it was to have "new blood" around here.

Obviously he deflected or lied about his age if asked, and didn't pay them any mind but he happily accepted the tips. He had about 460 dollars in only one night! And on his first day too!

rich old perverted fucks.

Tony gave Jacob a nod of appreciation for a job well done as he punched out for the morning. Jacob clocked out at 4 a.m. sharp. pocketing his tips and heading home. As he walked down the street, he couldn't help but feel satisfied with his night's work. He'd done well, made some money, and even met a few interesting coworkers. God they were nice. And funny. He met two who kinda reminded him of Leah and Seth. Well, an older Seth. but attitude and behavior strikingly similar.
Jacob went straight home since no convenience store wold be open at 4 in the morning. And immediately he did reach his apartment, he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep on the spot. Well it's either that or he blacked out. Who knows?

Jacob slept for a few hours before his alarm clock went off at 12 am, waking him up with a start. He groaned softly and rolled out of bed, stretching his limbs before his face was greeted by the cold wood floor. "MOTHER FU-!"

After his painful awakening, Jake headed to the shower, but right before putting his 460 dollar tip in his small size safe he had bought years ago so his sisters would stop getting it and claiming it was loose change. Their loose change.
In it was his stash money which was two thousand and five dollars and also the money Seth and Leah had given him as a "parting gift" from la push, which now remained a thousand dollars since he used a good 2400 for rent for three months. so altogether he had 3465 dollars. Not a lot really..

After getting ready for the day, Jacob checked his phone and saw that he had a few messages from his new friends -coworkers really. They weren't on that stage yet- asking how his first shift went. He texted them back, saying it was great and he was looking forward to seeing them later.

~JACOB'S POV~

Three months went by before I knew it and, to be honest, my life started going smoothly. Great really. the pay at the bar was great. Wouldn't have expected less from that fancy club. I even paid an advance for two months of rent. And as a plus, I even started going to school last month.

The way of HOW I started school was quite.. funny, when I remember it now.

Let's just say... It involved an almost kidnapping, connections, kindness and persuasion. Courtesy of my boss of course.

right now, I just got back from school like ten minutes ago and I'm already serving drinks in the club. tho I have gotten a lot skinnier.

My friends from both especially work than school noticed the change in my appearance than from when they first saw me but attributed it to the constant walking and standing i did at work and the stress that comes with being a basically orphaned teenager in highschool in a different place who works the night in a club that a teenager under 18 should be working at.

I just made them shrug it off going along with their assumptions. And they bought it. They figured I'd start eating more soon.

in all honesty, the reason I was getting thin was not because of standing or stress. it was because being rejected by and being away from my imprint; Edward.

It's taking a toll on my body.

I'm slowly dying. it'll only be a matter of time now... Luckily my friends never noticed the signs of sickness or distress in me. I hid them well. They thought i was just going through a phase- a bit of heartbreak after my first love interest rejected me -which also led to my family disowning me for being 'gay'.
Of course they didn't know about my imprint or the depth of it which basically make my feelings for Edward. And I'll keep it that way. No good letting out vital info, which'll soon lead some people (the smart ones) to put two and two together and find out I'm a werewolf shifter.

God knows what they'd do to me....
