Should I Stay Or Should I Go

"Come on Taylor. They just want to talk to you!" Aaron drug Taylor by her wrists into the forest.

"Aaron! I really don't want to be a part of this little discussion." She argued.

"But you're the only one who can really make an informed decision."

"NO!" She shook her head violently as he pushed her into the half circle all of the 'kids' made.

Taylor searched everyone's faces. The all looked confused, sad, disappointed. Christy sat by herself, Noah and Hunter sat together, Will and Marie sat together and Mia sat next to Stanley. There were more she didn't know and few she did. There was a long silence before anybody said anything.

"So what do we do?" Christy asked meekly.

"What do you mean: 'what do we do'?" Hunter asked her in an annoyed voice.

"I mean…do we stay here on the island or go with them?" She rephrased.

"What kind of stupid question is that?" Someone else yelled out.

"We're going to stay right?" Someone else asked.

"No way! We're going with them!" Questions suddenly shot from every which way to whom ever would hear them and Taylor couldn't stand it.

"Guys." She said trying to get their attention. It didn't work. "Guys!" She tried again. Still nothing happened. "WOULD EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP!" She screamed as loud as she could. Everything came to a screeching halt, as silence was all that could be heard.

"What?" Aaron asked trying to get the conversation going.

"I don't know…" Taylor started.

"What do you want us to do?" Mia asked. "I mean you are the most rational here. You think clearer than everybody else."

"Mia…I can't make a decision here that's going to give everybody what they want." She said with a sad expression.

"Well…then what are you going to do?" Stanley asked.

"They're leaving in the morning. It sounds like they're going to LA or at least that's what my dad says. I don't know where that is or anything else for that matter really." Taylor explained.

"Yeah…that's great. But it didn't answer his question." Will piped.

"Honestly. I don't know what I'm doing." She announced.

Dawn came quicker than everybody wanted it to. But everyone had decided on what to do and now they all piled back onto the beach to inform the adults of what they were going to do.

Everyone scurried around looking for things and gathering the little belongings they had. They looked like ants, Aaron thought.

"You better hurry up and pack other wise the boats going to leave!" Someone shouted at them.

"She's right. Come on, Taylor you need to get going." Jack advised as he stuffed something into his bag.

Taylor looked at him even though he wasn't looking at her. The she glanced as the others and several of them nodded their heads as if saying 'go on'. She inhaled deeply for confidence.

"Pop. I'm not going." Jack looked up at her with a perplexed face.
