With Me | Chris Sturniolo

16

It took an hour to get to the tracks, so we decided to meet at my house. Callie's parents didn't know where we were going, but she told them she was sleeping at my house. It wasn't a whole lie, because she was spending the night.

"They're taking their time. It's getting cold" Matt complained, arriving wearing only jeans and a shirt.

"Didn't you bring a jacket?" Madison asked him.

"No"

"We can stop at your house and grab it before we head to the tracks" Callie suggested

"No way! My Mom is home"

"So?"

Matt scoffed. "I could never admit I'm cold to my Mom who told me to bring a jacket 'because it's November'"

I laughed at Matt's impression of his Mom. Yeah, I get that. But I text Nate to bring Matt a sweater, hopefully he saw my text.

Our laughter was cut off by Chris pulling into my driveway, his headlights lighting up the porch we were sat on. He turned off the engine, got out and walked towards us.

He looked hot in his black shirt, black leather jacket and jeans. But, he didn't look happy about this. All day he tried to get me to change my mind, but I was too stubborn. Nate pulled up, turned off his engine and got out.

"Finally!" Matt exclaimed. "You better have heat on in the car!"

"I had to turn around and get an idiot a sweater" Nate smirked and threw Matt a sweater.

"Dude! Thank you!" Matt laughed, putting it on.

"Don't thank me. Sabrina told me to bring it"

Matt looked at me before pulling me into a hug and kissing all over my face. "Thank you, Sabrina"

I laughed and pushed him off me. "No problem, Matt. I wouldn't want to face my Mom's wrath either"

Chris and Nate suddenly had scowled expressions.

"Let's get this show on the road!" Jack stood up from where he was sitting and walked towards Chris and Nate. "Who's going in which car?"

"Madison and Callie with Mike. Sabrina-"

"She's with me" Chris finished for Nate in an authoritative tone.

Everyone turned to look at me. I had no problem with that. I like spending time with Chris, especially one on one, and to be honest, I feel safe with him

"Okay. Then Matt and Jack are with me" Nate finished, with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"Great. Now that's settled, can we get into the heated car?" Matt said, jogging over to Nate's car and waiting for us to follow.

Sitting in Chris' car, I put my seatbelt on and waited for him to start the engine to put on my seat warmer.

"Last chance to change your mind"

I shook my head. "No backing out now"

"You stay with me tonight. When I'm not there, stay with the guys, okay?"

"I don't need a babysitter"

"I know you don't" he sighed. "But you can't be alone tonight. There's a lot of sketchy people there. Most people are cool and I'm not expecting much trouble other than Justin. I'll feel better if you're with someone I trust"

"What about Callie and Madison?" I asked, trying to move my thoughts away from how good he is to me.

He glanced over at me. "You really think Jack would leave Callie's side?"
