Okay, so I went to write the next chapter to Midnight Moon, and this whole new story popped into my head and I just had to write it because it came to me.

I'm still writing my other story, but I want your opinion on this one. I don't know why but I really like this one, so please review it if you would like me to continue it.

Hope you enjoy :)


Caged In Alabama

"Where do you want this one?" My brother asked me as he set the last box of mine on the bed. It was my first day in a new town, living with my brother, Edward and his fiancé, Bella. I pointed to the bed and he set the box down. "Do you like it?"

"Yeah, it's better then what I had before." I told him.

"Good, I didn't know what your favorite color was so I just chose maroon, Bella said you liked that color."

"I do." I said setting my bag on the bed.

"Hey, I want you to make yourself at home. Relax today, go explore the town." he reached in his back pocket and handed me the keys. "I don't want you out late."

"Right." I said walking around him. I got into my brothers F150 and drove down the street, then it hit me. I had no clue where I was going. I followed signs and ended up parked in front of a crowed diner. When I walked inside a bunch of high school kids were around eating, talking but being very loud.

"Can I help you?" A blonde girl asked, she looked a little older than me.

"Um, I was wondering if I could just sit at the bar." I asked her.

"Yeah, of course." she said motioning for me to sit and then she walked around the counter. "What can I get for you?"

"Can I just get hot chocolate." I told her. She went back into the kitchen and after a few minutes she walked back out and set it in front of me.

"Are you new in town?" she asked me. "It's just Clark is a small town and everybody kind of knows everybody."

"Yeah, I just moved here today actually." I said taking a sip of my hot chocolate.

"Well welcome, I'm Jessica." she said smiling.

"Renesmee." I told her. I looked around at all the kids over flowing some of the booths. "Those your friends?"

"Nah, I graduated last year. What about you, you at ASU?"

"No, I'm a senior. I'm transferring to the local high school."

"That's where I went. Trust me it's not that great, that's where all these kids are from." she said motioning to the loud teenagers.

"Wow, is there like anything to do here on Friday's or Saturday's?"

"Hmm, well Friday's the whole town kind of closes to go watch the local boys cage fight." she said "And then on like Saturday's there are parties to celebrate and you can go out."

"Cage fighting?" I asked

"Yeah, it's dangerous but they boys are so hot. Plus the fights are always really good." she said smiling. "I got to get back to work, but I'll see you around."

I sat and drank my hot chocolate while the kids around me chatted about high school events, dances. I paid for my drink and let to drive back home. It took me awhile, but I finally got back to my brothers.

"You weren't even out that long." my brother said when I walked into the house.

"I don't really know where I'm going." I told him going upstairs and I ran into Bella.

"Oh, Renesmee, I didn't see you there." she said smiling. Bella was the nicest girl I've ever met but sometimes she was to nice and that was really annoying.

"It's fine." I said walking into my room, I locked the door and unpacked my bags. I set the picture of me my mom and my dad on the table beside my bed. I'd miss them, but I knew moving here with my brother was better.

(Jessica POV)

"Tommy, did you pick up your toys?" I asked my seven year old brother when I walked into his room.

"Yeah." he said putting the last toy away "Is dinner almost ready?"

"Yeah." I told him as we walked into the kitchen. I got custody of my brother last year when I turned eighteen, our mother was a drug addict and I wasn't going to let him live around someone like that. "Grilled cheese okay?"

"Mhm." he said getting two juice boxes and sitting at the table. I set a grilled cheese in front of him and then sat and started eating mine. "How was work."

"Long, like always. How was the babysitter?"

"Annoying as always." he said laughing. I loved my brother he was the cutest thing I've probably ever laid my eyes on. "Is Ian fighting Friday?"

"Yeah." I said taking a bite of my sandwich.

"So does this mean he's not coming by tonight, because I want to play Xbox with him." I looked back at the clock resting on the apartment wall, it was only seven thirty.

"It's a possibility he could stop by." I told him "He gets off work at seven, he might be training." Ian was my boyfriend of three years, he was every girls dream guy. He worked down at a farm with his best friend Jake, but they were also cage fighters. Even though Ian was good, Jake was better, way better.

I cleaned up after we ate and there was a knock at the door. "I got it!" Tommy screamed and he ran and opened the door. "Ian!" he shouted as he wrapped him in a hug.

"Hey buddy." Ian said picking Tommy up "Where's your sister?"

"Washing dishes will you play Xbox with me?" he asked.

"Of course, first let me talk to Jess." Ian said. I was washing dishes when Ian came up behind me and wrapped me in a hug.

"Hey handsome," I said turning off the water and drying my hands. I turned around and kissed him. "I missed you."

"I missed you too." he said smiling "Guess what?"

"What?" I whispered

"Your birthday is tomorrow, and that mean's your nineteen." he said.

"I know, and that makes me one year older. I think I'm starting to get grey hair." I said pulling my blond hair over my shoulder and looking at it.

"Your beautiful." he kissed my forehead. "Now, if you would like I would love if you'd cheer me on while I kick your brothers butt in football." After an hour of non-stop football I told Tommy to go get ready for bed.

"Night Ian." Tommy said hugging him "Hopefully, I can come Friday."

"Me too, buddy. But you know it's not the kind of place for a seven year old to be at." Ian told him.

"I know, I hope you win." Tommy said then walked back to his room.

"Man, your brother is just one heck of a kid." Ian said as he wrapped an arm around me

"I think he just realizes what kind of a situation were in. He knows not to take things for granted anymore, he's just a good kid."

"You did good, Jess."

"Thanks." I said sighing "You start training tomorrow?" he nodded "You're going to be crabby aren't you?"

"I can't help it, I get up early and train then I go to work till eight at night and stop here."

"You don't have to come here." I told him "I'm obviously fine."

"I didn't mean it like that."

"It's fine." I said standing and walking to the door and opening it. "You should go you have to be up early tomorrow." Ian walked over to the door and looked at me.

"I love you, I'll see you tomorrow for your birthday."

"Hopefully I get off work"." I told him. He leaned down and kissed me "Love you." I said and closed the door.

(Renesmee POV)

I pulled on my tan boots and looked at myself in the mirror. I wore a red crew neck sweater ripped skinny jeans and my reddish-brown hair fell down my back in light curls. I grabbed my backpack and walked downstairs to Bella sitting at the kitchen table eating cereal.

"Good morning." she said looking at me "Do you want me to make you something?"

"No." I said grabbing a cereal bar and filled a travel mug with coffee. "I'll see you later."

"Bye." she said waving. Bella looked sad, maybe I should have stayed and talked to her but she just hasn't looked happy in awhile. When I arrived at Clarke High School, and it was crowed, I saw some people that were at the diner but the rest were all strangers. I had my schedule and walked around the school making sure I knew the way to every class.

My day went by slow, the classes were boring the teachers were annoying. By lunch I was so sick of this whole school thing. I didn't know anyone so I sat at an empty table in the corner. Some people actually watched me as I ate, like who does that.

You can believe by the end of the day I wanted to die. I went to the only place I knew and that was the diner. The same girl was there working behind the counter, she smiled when she saw me sit down at the car.

"Hey," she said wiping down the counter in front of me. "I'm taking today was your first day?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?" I asked her.

"You have the same look I had when I first went to Clarke." she stopped wiping and looked at me "How bad was it?"

"I ate lunch alone." I told her.

"Freshman year, and I'm serious like the whole year, I ate alone." Jess told me "I was too afraid to talk to anyone."

"What changed?"

"A boy." she said smiling "His name was Ian and when I was a sophomore he was a junior, and he talked to me one day, and then he started showing up at my locker and then invited me to his lunch table, and I met all his friends. Now we've been dating for three years."

"That sounds like a fairy tale." I told her.

"It wasn't but we got though some tough things." she said "Cheer up, you'll make friends. You've made one already. Yes, I do mean me."

"Thank you." I told her. A little boy with glasses and blond hair ran into the diner and hugged Jessica.

"I did it, Jess. I got an A on my math test." he said practically jumping up and down.

"Good job." she said high fiving him.

"Ian's coming tonight right? To take us to dinner for your birthday!" he asked

"It's your birthday?" I asked Jessica.

"Who's this?" the little boy asked.

"This is Tommy, my brother. Tommy this is Renesmee, she's my friend."

"Wow, you have friends?" he said jokingly "It's nice to meet you."

"You too." I told him. The door opened and two very tall very handsome guys walked in. They almost looked like brother expect the one was a little tanner. They both were very build and they both had a sleeve of tattoo's on their left arms.

"Birthday girl!" the one wearing the orange hat yelled as we went over picked Jessica up in a hug and spun her in a circle.

"Ian, put me down." she giggled and kissed him. So that was him, the love of her life the guy that changed everything.

"Hey, I just want to spend some time with my amazing girlfriend." he said then he looked at me "Who are you."

"Ian, be nice, this is my friend Renesmee. She's new in town." Jess told him.

"My apologies." he said smiling at me "I'm Ian, and this is my best friend Jake." he said pointing to the other buff tall handsome guy.

"Nice to meet you guys." I said.

"You too." Jake said smiling at me.

"So what time do I get to take you out?" Ian asked

"You don't get to tonight." Jessica told him "I have to work till closing, my boss just told me."

"Seriously?" Ian asked "That's bullshit, it's your birthday you should at least only have half a day so you can spend time with family and friends."

"You know my boss." she said.

"Cock sucker." Ian whispered

"Ian!" Jessica said shrieking "Tommy is right there."

"Sorry." he said holding up his hands. "But come on it's your birthday, just skip work for the day."

"Ian, I'm not going to fight with you. If I skip, I lose my job. I lose my job I can't pay rent and CPA takes Tommy away."

"Come on, I'm skipping training for this." he said.

"Then go train." she told him "Obviously I can't get off, what aren't you getting?"

"Whatever, Jess. Happy fucking birthday." he said. He said goodbye to Tommy and then left with Jake.

"We fight, a lot." Jess said looking at her hands. "I try not to start them, but I just get so angry sometimes."

"Are you ever scared that you two are going to break up?" I asked her

"No, we love each other to much to break up. Hey what are you doing this weekend? Let's hangout, I saw the way you looked at Jake. We can double date."

"Wait, whoa hold up." I told her "First, I can probably hangout second I don't know this Jake kid."

"Jacob Black, he's the best fighter we have in Clarke other then Ian. They've been friends since they were five, he graduated two years ago and now works with Ian on a farm."

"Well, that's kind of weird if you take me on a date with him. Plus, no offense we don't know each other that well."

"Fine, Wednesday you get out early, right?" I nodded "Okay, I get off work early. I'll have Ian get Tommy, you and I will hangout and get to know each other. Deal?"

"Alright." I sighed. It was going to be my first time out in Clark, Alabama.

(Jessica POV)

I tip toed out of Tommy's room and quietly shut the door behind me. It was nine thirty, and he wasn't feeling well so I made him go to bed early. I cleaned up the living room and washed the dishes and heard a knock at the door. When I opened it there stood Ian, with flowers and a gift.

"What are you doing?" I asked him. He was sweaty from training and I knew he was tired.

"It's your birthday, I need to be here." he walked in and sat on the couch. "For you, my lady." I laughed and took the flowers from him.

"Thank you there beautiful." I went into the kitchen and put the flowers in a vase. When I turned around Ian was standing there holding out a square black box. "Why are you giving me this? I told you I didn't want anything."

"Just shut up and open it." he said giving it to me. I took the box and opened it up. Inside lay a heart shaped diamond ring. "It's not what you think." he took the box and took out the ring. "It's a promise ring." he took my left hand and slid it onto my ring finger.

"You got me a promise ring?" I said holding back unshed tears.

"Yeah, because this is a promise that in two years when I get the money I'm going to get you that big engagement ring that you want." he said wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close.

"Ian..."

"If you don't like it or you think it's corny I can take it back?"

"No." I said grabbing his face with my hands "I love it so much." I kissed him and then got the smell of him. "Ew, Ian you smell."

"I know, I trained hard today." he said smiling "I better see you at my fight Friday."

"Of course, I'm going to bring Renesmee too."

"Is that the red head who I met today?" I nodded "She seems nice."

"She is, I think she'll be cute for Jake." I told him "She's something different the us regular Alabama girls."

"Hey, let's slow down. The last girl you tried to set Jake up with turned out to be a part time stripper."

"He enjoyed it." I said laughing "But Renesmee is different, she's weird. And I think that's what Jake needs since he's so not weird."

"Yeah, well we'll see." he said kissing me "I'm very tired, do you think I can crash here?"

"Only if you shower." I told him "Because you smell so bad."

"Deal." he said walking out of the room. "Hey Jess," he popped his head back in "Happy nineteenth birthday."

(Renesmee POV)

"Come on." Jess said as we walked a trail down a path in the woods on Wednesday.

"This is like some weird scene from a killer movie." I told her.

"Don't worry I'm not strong enough to kill you. I can't even swing a baseball bat without hurting myself."

"I was never good at sports either." I told her "My dad used to sign me up for soccer but I refused to play, it was so scary."

"You live with your brother right?" I nodded "How come you don't live with your parent's anymore."

"Long story." I told her as we kept walking.

"Long story or you just don't want to tell me?"

"Both." we walked over and sat on an empty bench. "What about you what's your story? Is it just you and your brother."

"Yeah, my dad let when Tommy was five, and then I was going to go to ASU but my mom started using drugs again and I couldn't just leave Tommy with her. So now I take classes online, and last year on my eighteenth birthday I got custody of him."

"Wow, that must be like really hard."

"It is." she said picking her nail polish "Like sometimes I can't pay the bills, or I'm close to losing the apartment. I hate to do it but sometimes I have to ask Ian for money. I feel like a horrible person, but he says he would pay for everything if I just asked but I would never do that."

"He really loves you." I told her.

She smiled and looked at me. "I know."

"Alright, well I'm here because my parents are psychotic, kinda. My mom started drinking again, and my dad wants' to divorce her. But then my mom found out my dad cheated on her, which made the whole situation even worse. Long story short, they didn't want me involved in the drama so they shipped me here. They're apparently trying to 'work on the relationship' so they don't divorce."

"At least they loved you enough to send you here." Jess told me "They didn't make you tag along in their downward spiral to hell."

"I guess." I whispered.

"I like you, Renesmee." Jess said standing. "I can tell we're going to be best friends."

"Same here." I said smiling at her. "Same here.


Alright so what do you think? I know, it's a lot but I need your opinion.

I know this is a random one, but I like it do you?
