A First Fight

It was their first real fight.

That doesn’t sound so significant to you probably, but they had just been so caught up in love, and used to everything just kind of, working itself out. Even though they could work out the problem easily, it was the fact that they had a problem to be worked out. It was sort of like a wake up call saying “no, life & love doesn’t always go as planned”.

Jack took another deep breath as he hung his head. Anna gently took Taylor’s head out of her lap and placed it on the bench. She stood up and slowly stepped torwards Jack. She still didn’t look up when she took his hand & fiddled with his fingers. Jack however, couldn’t take his eyes off Anna and he stroked away the tears left over on her cheek. Anna slowly looked at him, and was so relieved to find his half smile. He chuckled and shook his head, but he never stopped looking at Anna. A hint of a smile crossed her face as Jack placed his hands on each side of her face.
