Welcome to Writing the Next Line. I tried this last month and everyone seemed to like it. So I'm trying it again.
The Rules: In your comment continue the story. Try and keep your piece 2-3 lines but visit as often as you like. For example: if you are the first person to comment write 2-3 lines continuing the story I posted. If you are the second person to comment you must read what I wrote and what the first commenter wrote and continue the story from where the previous comment left off. And so on. Check here to see how it works.
Here we go --have fun!

"What did you want me to say?"
"It's not what you said, it's what you didn't say," I hissed.
He slowly approached, taking one step at a time. "Lexi, come on. What I didn't say? What's that supposed to mean?!"
"You know what it means. Why do you have to act like a--"
"Like a what. Go ahead say it," he said squinting furiously.
"Like a ..."
The sound of breaking glass came from inside the house, cutting our argument short. My breathing ceased as I looked at my keys then to the door.
It was cracked open.

There you have it. This will be up for a couple of days so come back as often as you like. I will post the whole story when I return.
Have a great weekend!
