I laid on my back in the cool soft grass with my stomach full of pizza, enjoying the view with Edward lying by my side. We looked up at the night sky, admiring the stars and the sound of crickets in the background. It was peaceful and almost heavenly.
Our hands once at our sides where now skimming the surface of the tickly grass inching towards one another until our fingers met and slowly fastened around each other into a hand hold.
It felt nice, complete.
Our eyes met in that moment, the glow of stars lighting our forms. It was the perfect moment for a kiss. One I did not want to pass up on.
I leaned down, bringing my lips closer to Edward's. Our mouths were just inches away when a suddenly noise, a loud bang, broke my trance like state and put me on high alert.
"What was that?" I asked, realizing the noise came from inside my house.
"I don't know." Edward replied, as we both scrambled to our feet, creeping over to the sliding glass door.
"Wait here, I'm going to check it out." I whispered, as more sounds could be heard inside my home.
"Jasper." Edward stressed, full of alarm.
"Stay here. I'll be right back. Don't make a sound." I instructed, as I tipped toed silently across the tile floor leaving Edward on the back porch in the dark of the night.
I looked around the dangerously dark kitchen, finding nothing out of place. I headed further in, proceeding towards the living room only to step on a sharp piece of broken glass.
"Owe, Shit!" I voiced in pain, bring my foot off the floor to take out the small piece of glass that cut the bottom of my bare foot.
After removing the glass I look down noticing more shattered glass on the floor. I made sure to walk around the broken glass so not to get cut again. It wasn't till I was fully in the dining room that I noticed my mom's china cabinet was broken into.
"Oh fuck!" I shouted, not thinking clearly.
"What's wrong Jasper, are you okay?" Edward shouted from the backyard.
I was about to answer him when the lights flickered on, signaling that the power was back on and I suddenly had nowhere to hide.
Shit!
I was about to bolt when something hit my head hard and I fell down, smack on the floor, before blacking out.
