Narrative:
I was pleasure flying with a friend. I was the PIC. We taxied to hold short of runways 14 and 19 run-up completed. I got cleared to takeoff on runway 19. As I began my takeoff roll ATC asked me to stop. I pulled the power and braked. Then I realized I was on the wrong runway. I then noticed an aircraft crossing the runway at the far end. My friend, also a pilot asked ATC if we could resume our takeoff roll on runway 14. We were then cleared for takeoff on runway 14. Nothing else was said on the radio by us or ATC. I was confused because runways 14 and 19 began at the same point. I had never seen this set up of runways before. Next time I will be more careful.
