☆ Tord's POV ☆

As the storm continued to worsen, our grip on each other tightened. The few hours consisted of soft conversation, the conversation not leading anywhere for it was filled with tiny thoughts and compliments.

As we relaxed more, suddenly a loud boom was heard and all light inside the cozy warm house jolted to an end.

Tom sighed, "so we're at the 'no power' point in a hurricane. "

"W-what do you mean by that? "

"The power circuits were overwhelmed by the power of the water, now the power is out. "

"...Oh... "

Tom hugged me softly, "it's not a bad thing particularly".

I sighed and cuddled up to him, as close as I possibly could.

A few moments later I fell asleep.

Around an hour later, I woke up to a large crack of thunder. It sounded really close. I jumped awake and gasped, holding my chest in surprise.

Tom pet my cheek softly and comfortingly, "It's okay, it's just thunder, Hun".

"w-why are you still awake...?", I questioned softly.

"Just sitting here admiring my new boyfriend...", he smiled sweetly at me.

I blushed and hid my face, smiling brightly.

He chuckled and pulled me closer, I must have moved in my sleep.

Suddenly a scream was heard from downstairs, followed by loud crying.

Tom and I ran downstairs as fast as we could.

My eyes widened with surprise and grief when I saw Edd, crying over Matt's now dead body. The window was broken and a gun lay next to his body. He was bleeding from his chest, mouth, and nose.

"H-he's gone... Someone killed him.. They killed my fucking boyfriend! ", Edd shouted, tears spilling from his eyes as he stared down at his lover's dead body.

I was shaking with fear and Tom was covering his mouth in shock.

Matt's normally blue eyes were glazed and clouded over with death. Edd's green gaze stared into his icy sight, looking for any sign of life. Edd was quivering as tears streamed down his decently plump cheeks.

Tom hesitantly took a step forward, as if every step he took made Matt even more dead.

I stayed where I was, frozen with fear. I didn't know who would want to kill such a happy and eccentric person as Matthew. He never held grudges, mainly because he would forget about the person.

Who would kill such a nice person?

The thought crossed my thoughts then was soon interrupted by a gasp.

Tom had crouched next to his body and had noticed the way his hand was moved and the placement of the gun.

" He killed himself. ", he whispered shakily.

Edd covered his mouth, "why would he do that?! I made him happy! He was happy! ", he denied the possibility that, yes maybe he did kill himself.

I hugged Edd and rubbed his back gently, " Edd. It could have been an accident. He could have been playing with the gun, not knowing it was real, and he could have accidentally shot the window. "

Edd cried into my shoulder, his shoulders convulsing with each sob he choked out.

Why would he kill himself if it was on purpose?
