Chapter 41 ↣ back on track

"Chris!" I shout, as he jumps on my back, pushing me down almost fully under the water.
"Chris, seriously, I don't wanna get my hair wet!"
"Oh fine!" He says, as he smiles at me, before pulling himself out of the pool.

I do the same, and begin walking to the back door. But before I can make it to the house, he grabs my waist and pulls me up, kissing my shoulders and my neck playfully.
"Chris! I'm cold as fuck get off!" I say, while giggling and struggling to get out of his grip.

He finally lets go and my laugh dies off, "hm, that was actually fun." I tell him, as he smiles at me.
"I'm sorry for breaking my promises, Chris, you know I didn't mean to."
His smile fades before he grabs one of my hands, "it's in the past now, okay? Let's move on and forget about this nonsense, plus, wanna go make some s'mores?" He says, all excited.

I nod my head and grin, as we pick up our clothes and head inside, laughing.
Nick and Matt are on the couch as we walk in, they immediately look us up and down, "what the fu-" Nick says, before Matt tells us to be quiet because we're apparently laughing too loud.

I run up the stairs because I'm so cold, and grab a towel, removing my pj pants and putting on a pair of Chris' joggers.
"So, about the necklace-" I say, as I turn my head to him.
"Mmm, I don't know about that", he says, all sarcastic and jokey.

I stand up and roll my eyes while walking toward him, "I've never taken mine off", I say quietly, as I pull it from under my shirt.
He looks at it then back at me, "okay, fine", he says, as I smile and hug him.

We make our way into the kitchen, as Matt and Nick join us. "What's going on? What you making?" Matt asks us.
"We're making s'mores" I say, while I get the things from out of the cupboards.
"Gia, are you not going home, it's 11pm?"
I look up at Matt, his arms crossed and his face stern, he doesn't seem too happy with me whatsoever.

I shrug my shoulders as I look at him again, he raises his eyebrows before turning around.
"I'll be right back" I say to Chris, he nods at me as I turn around and follow Matt to his room.

As Matt closes his door behind him he spots me, rolling his eyes and leaving it half open.
"Matt, what's your problem?" I say, as I enter his room. He quickly shuts the door and pulls me inside, harshly.
"Ow Matt"

He stands directly in front of me, "what are you doing?" He asks me, confusion spreads all over my face. "What do you mean?"
"So you think that you can cheat on Chris and then get back with him that easily?"
"Matt- wh- I didn't cheat on him, it was after we broke up!"
"Mhm, it's practically the same thing, you hurt him, and have now magically convinced him that you won't do it again, do you know how badly you've hurt him in the past months? You wouldn't know because you didn't experience his anger, frustration and sadness for weeks on end!" He snaps, I can tell he's angry, I understand why, but he shouldn't take it out on me, it's not his situation to be mad at.

"Whatever happens between Chris and I is non of your business Matt!"
"Oh it is Gia, he's my fucking brother"
"That doesn't give you the right to dictate our relationship!"

He's quiet, he doesn't know what to say. The urge to say something bitchy is almost certainly going to come out of my mouth any time soon, but I manage to retain it. I close my eyes and sigh.
"Matt, he wouldn't take me back if he knew I was truly sorry. You know that, right?" I ask him in a softer tone.

He sits down on his bed and rubs his eyes, "I just don't want to see him hurt again, Gia"
I sit beside him and wrap my arm around his shoulders, "I promise, Matt", I say, as he looks back at me, smirking, "you're gonna keep it this time?"
I roll my eyes and laugh, "pinky promise" I say, as I hold out my pinky, he wraps his around mine and smiles, bringing me into a hug, "I'm sorry."
"No, I am" I say, as I let go.

"Come on, god knows what Chris is doing in the kitchen alone, he's probably burnt the marshmallows!" I say, giggling.

Matt and I walk into the kitchen, Nick having a go at Chris for misplacing the bowl.
"Quiet down you two!" Matt exclaims.
"We can't make them, we have no chocolate or crackers!" Chris says, while looking at me, all sad.
"It's okay, what should we do instead then, watch a movie?" I say, before Nick looks up as if he has an idea.

"We could go for a drive? Right Matt?" Nick asks him, he groans.
"Pleaseeee?" Chris whines, I look at him and giggle.
"Fine" Matt says, rolling his eyes and grabbing the keys.

We get in the car, Chris and I sat in the back, laughing at whatever Matt seems to be doing, looks as if he's trying to wipe the frost off of the windscreen.

"Right, where we going then?" Matt asks, as he adjusts himself in his seat and looks at Nick, as it was his idea.
"I don't know, McDonald's?" He says, as he turns to us and smiles.
"Alright, I'm not ordering though, you two will have to do it", he says, causing Nick to scoff in a jokey way, "trust them two to do it, we'll end up with the whole menu!"
"We'll be fine, Nick, trust us!" Chris says, as he smiles at me.

We pull up to McDonald's, "Nick, what do you guys want?" I ask him quietly.
"Two dr peppers, a large fry, 6 nuggets and whatever you two want"
I nod my head as I wind the window down, poking my head out slightly.

"Hello, what could I do for you today?" A voice calls on the intercom.
"Hey, could I get two dr peppers, um-"
"Two fries" Chris whispers.
"Two large fries" I repeat.
"How many nuggets?" I say to Chris, as Matt and Nick seem to be induced on their phones.
"Um like? 20 I think?" He says, smiling and shrugging.

"Uh twenty nuggets, another large fry, sorry, and two Pepsis, want anything else Chris, I ordered you a Pepsi?"
"Nah I'm good"
"That's all, thank you so much" I say, as the woman thanks me and I tap Matt to move forward.

"See, wasn't that hard Nick" I say to him.
"Yeah, yeah, alright" he says, smiling.
We get to the window and they pass us the bag and the drinks through.
"That's twenty dollars and sixty cents" she says.
"God that's expensive, sure you got the right stuff?" I check the bag, yeah, seems to be what I asked for.
"Yeah, it's all here" I say, Matt sighs before tapping his card, and we drive to an empty parking lot.

"The drinks are here, Chris and I had ours, um, two large fries for you two?" I ask, Nick grabs one before looking at me in confusion.
"I only wanted one" I look at Chris before grimacing, "Chris said-"
"I'll have one" he cuts me off.
"Oh and then twenty nuggets"
"TWENTY NUGGETS? WE ONLY WANTED SIX!" Nick shouts, echoing through the car walls.

"Nick shut the fuck up, you're deafening me!" Chris shouts.
"Oh my gosh, Chris! They only wanted six!"
"Gia, were you not listening to me?!"
"Yeah, yeah, I got confused, I thought you were going to help me" I point at Chris' arm, he just smirks.
"We can share them, it's fine Nick" Matt says.

We spend the rest of the evening chatting, laughing and doing what we normally do, it's perfect, and I finally feel as though my life is back on track again, finally.
