Cruel Summer- Caitlin Clark

17. I want you back

"Caitlin, wake up!!" I say, shacking her 

She usually isn't a morning person, until she has coffee and some type of food, but she really isn't picky. 

"I got you coffee and a bagel!" I say 

Suddenly, she is really awake. 

"Get dressed, and then come down stairs." I say, leaving the room 

As I wake down stairs, a bunch of people are in the kitchen. 

As I go into the kitchen, I go next to Nate. 

"Good morning, Nate." I say, giving him a little smile. 

"Good morning, Rory." He says giving the smile back. 

I remember why I wanted to be with Nate in the first place. He was always the most kind to me. And he was so sweet to my family. But, I'm with Caitlin now. 

"So, Rory. Before, Nate, Caitlin, and you go on your whole Boston extravaganza, I thought you should try driving again." Jaime says

"That is a horrible idea!" I say, laughing 

Technically, I could drive and did have my drivers license. But, I haven't driven since I crashed into our gate, and almost totaled the car. 

"Rory, come on!" Jaime says

"No!!!" I say, laughing so much 

"Rory!" 

"Ugh fine, but I'm on AUX." I say 

"Okay, let's go." He says 

"Wait, do you guys want to come?" I say, looking at Caitlin and Nate 

"Sure!" They say 

As we got into the jeep, I couldn't help but laughing. I'm actually so bad at driving. I have no clue how I passed my test. 

"Warning guys, I suck ass!" I say, as I put my sunglasses on, and of course everyone starts laughing. 

As we start driving a little more, I'm not actually terrible, so Jaime starts talking. 

"So, Nate, what are you thinking for college?" Jaime asks 

"Well, I got recruited to Columbia for Rugby, but I don't know if I want to go there." 

"Wait, why?" I ask

"It's just what my dad would have wanted. And I don't want to do that." 

"Sometime's family is like that." Caitlin says 

I give her a glare, so that she will stop talking. She had no idea why, of course. But, I didn't want Nate to be reminded that his dad was in prison. 

"Anyway, I'm sure you will end up where you need to be, even if it isn't Columbia." I say, parking, because we had gotten back to my house. 

"Wow, Rory!! Great job, you didn't crash, or anything!" He says, giving my a high five

"You know, anywhere else in the world I would be a great driver, it's just because we live in Boston and the driver's are also ass here." 

"I mean, you kind of have a good point." Jaime says, laughing. 

                                                ✨

As we were all walking up the steps to my house, Nate grabbed my wrist 

"Hey, Rory? Can I talk to you?" Nate asks 

I look up to see Caitlin, looking like she could quite literally kill him. 

"Later!" I say, pulling my wrist away.
