EPOV
Darkness reigned.
The floating warmth enveloped me, soothing me with a calm I had never known.
As the light started to bleed through the thin skin of my eyelids, I felt my body settle down on something soft.
I finally allowed myself to hope that I was indeed in Heaven.
In Hell there had been no softness, only the harsh bite of pain.
This though…whatever I was on conformed to my body, leaving no place for discomfort.
It was perfection.
"Time to wake up, Edward."
My eyelids fluttered as his voice made its way into my brain.
The light was blinding, but my eyes quickly adjusted.
And then the glow was shadowed as he leaned over me, his blond hair falling in waves between us.
"The name is Jasper, and before you start, yes I know it is a gay ass name."
My laughter broke free before I could stop it and it echoed up through the clouds.
"Fuck man, I'm the son of Satan and he gave me the awesome name - Edward. I think I can sympathize," I chuckled, holding out my hand and letting him pull me up to my feet.
I glanced around at the open meadow we were in, noticing there were tons of people just hanging out.
"So, this is Heaven?" I asked, turning back toward a grinning Jasper.
"Yep."
"Edward!" I spun toward the sound of her voice and smiled widely as I watched her push past people in her race to get to me.
"Jesus Christ," Jasper muttered as she sent someone that looked a lot like Princess Diana sprawling onto the floor.
"I actually think she likes to go by Bella," I said, holding out my arms to her as she got closer.
Oh yeah, I thought as she launched her soft curves into my embrace, this has to be Heaven.
Come on...you know me better than that...
Not the end of the drama by a long shot...but at least you should be safe there for the night.
Tomorrow...
