What Now

Anna bent down and picked up Taylor. She looked harshly at Jack.
“Don’t look at me that way when you’re the one who brought it up-”
“Stop it! Just stop. Can’t you see you’re scaring him?” Anna yelled back. Taylor’s head was burried in Anna’s shoulder. Jack couldn’t say anything, and Anna walked out the door slamming it. As soon as the door shut Jack seemed to replay the situation in his head. Anger didn’t take long to swallow is face and he let out a raged scream. He slammed his fist against the dresser as he had before. He stood like that for a few mintues, and finally he closed his eyes. He steadied out his breathing, and suddenly his eyes flew open. And without hesitation he ran out the door. He ran outside the hotel in the parking lot. “Anna! Anna where are you! Taylor!” He sprinted up the street to the bus stop. “Anna! Tayl-” he stopped seeing them on the bench. Taylor’s head was in Anna’s lap as he had already fallen asleep. As he got closer he could see that Anna’s eyes were red with tears.
