With Me (2) Chris Sturniolo

Prologue

The universe laughs at you sometimes. Maybe people like me are boring, so every once in a while life says, hey, why don't I mess around with Sabrina? Don't you think that's funny?

Then there's friends, drama, pain and uncertain events.

And they all get to work putting themselves where they don't belong and they sit around with cold beers and pizza between them and laugh. That's how I think it happens because it feels like my time on earth is just a long episode of how to mess with Sabrina today.

There's a man out there looking to kill me; Martin. He hurt and killer people for revenge. And I care so much about someone I'm going to hurt- someone who found out he was being lied to from the start, and was then arrested for killing his step father, Jim. Chris isn't a murderer, he isn't capable of that. Or is he?

Chris hates Jim, I'm pretty sure he abused Chris as a kid. But I don't see Chris taking his life and then coming to my house to watch movies like any normal day.

Why do the cops think he did it? He was in my house all night, and he was with Nate before that...right? When did Jim die anyway? He's been out of prison for weeks- wouldn't he want to spend time with Justin.

Justin.

I wonder if he heard about his father. I wonder if he heard Chris was arrested for it. Before, this was a petty rivalry, but now someone was dead and Chris was in jail accused of murder.

I can't lose Chris. Not right now, when he means so much to me. All my friends are the people I never thought I'd ever have in my life, they make me feel like I belong. I can't let anyone, not Justin, not Martin and not even the cops take from me.
