Chased by the Past
Romantic and rude awakenings (Alex POV, Rian POV)
Alex POV
I woke up in darkness. I looked at the clock on the bedside table. It was 4 a.m. and I was jetlagged out of my tiny mind. I turned around and spooned Jack. He moved in his sleep and let out a tiny snore. It was adorable. I kissed his hair, amazed by its softness, and pulled up the blanket. We would wake up later.
But unfortunately, I couldn’t sleep anymore and soon Jack was awake too. The sun was still not up but we decided to go for a little walk through earliest-morning Venice. It was 6 a.m. when we left the hotel, and we decided to go to all the famous places at this time of the day, to see the piazzas without hundreds of people on them.
When we had arrived at the Canal Grande, I was done. It was so beautiful to see, so completely different from what you could see in the Venetian in Vegas. The sun was starting to rise and the first little cafés were opening. I chose a tiny one with a great view over the Canal. Jack was like a little child that saw something for the first time. I kissed him lightly and then got us something to eat.
We sat and watched the sun rise in silence. When it was up, we left the café and went back to the hotel. We only wanted to lay down for a few minutes, but before I was able to blink twice, we were already passed out again.
Rian POV
I woke up on the couch, confused as to where I was and why; but when I felt Zack beside me it felt alright again. It was night, and the clock on the microwave told me it was 3 am. I cuddled closer to Zack when I suddenly heard a sound.
It sounded like someone trying to open a door. I was very scared and nudged Zack in his ribs. He woke up and smiled at me, but in that moment, we heard glass burst. I got up from the couch, crouching down so the intruder would not be able to see me, and crawled towards where the noises had originated from. Zack was scared, he stayed on the sofa, but I knew he was nervous about me getting hurt.
I crept around the corner, ready to attack whatever was there. Something towered over me and Zack shrieked.

Notes
I know this is incredibly short and shit but what else can you expect from me at 3 am with about 4 hours sleep in the last 24 hours.On a more positive note, if you want to read something better (at least I think its better), you can always read my Halloween Flykat oneshot: here. It is my entry for the Halloween writing contest!
