Anger Issues

"You need help, Austin!" I shouted.

"No I don't!" He yelled back, stepping closer to me.

I looked down as fear entered my body. My fingers began shaking as tears welled up in my eyes. He cornered me, and I had nowhere to go.

"Look at me," Austin said. "No," I shook my head.

"Look at me!" He grabbed my wrist, forcing my head up.

His eyes suddenly softened slightly. I snatched my arm away from him as tears trailed down my cheeks.

He looked lost, confused. Nothing more was said before he turned and ran away.
