Seriously. Assholes. Dad was a drunk and a deadbeat and mom was a victim. Just your typical dysfunctional family, right? When Gavin got his job at 16, it left me at 13, home to deal with them. Mom was always pushing dad's buttons and he had one hell of a temper when he was piss ass drunk. I would watch from my bedroom window when Gavin would drive off hoping and praying one day he'd just take me with him and we'd get out of the hell hole...He looked out for me....my protector.. He'd come home tell me about his job. I'd make up some fancy stories to avoid telling him about what happened while he was out. He always knew when I was making up stuff, though I could never figure out his secret..I'm talking shit about boys, school, etc... but he knew...and when I was headed for trouble he did his best to head it off. Anyway..he thought he could handle the world right? He got hurt on the job and I thought I was going to loose him. When they called us dad was drunk and mom wasn't in much better shape. First time I ever got to drive the Chevy to get mom to the hospital. I was in shock when they took us to see him. Hard to remember what all happened now but I swore if he died I was going to kick his ass for leaving me behind...Damn straight I ordered him not to go. The night Gavin changed rocked my world..literally. Dad was shit off his rocker that night talking all sorts of things about Gavin and I had it...I stood up to him this time..I don't know why..I just knew it wasn't right and he hadn't even been at the hospital when Gavin nearly died....It was a mistake I'd do over again..His fist came flying just as Gavin walked in... I remember seeing stars and picking myself up off the floor..and then the bear. When the next full moon came..I was a bear...He kept trying to make up for it..I've told him there's not a place I'd rather be than what he made me. I've come to terms with it though makes dating a serious pain in the ass. But at least this way we were both free right? We traveled and eventually found our own group in Dallas.. Didn't take long before shit hit the fan..My brother was passionate about protecting me and no -one- talks shit about him around me or tries to snare him if he don't want it...The girls in the group learned that the hard way... When Brandon took over the group..the first few months I thought he was cute..you know the whole got a crush deal..But then he demanded I would be his mate, getting angry and pissed off just like our dad... I wasn't going to be mom...So I told him to go fuck himself and that's when history repeated... Gavin took care of it..end of story..no questions asked..but we didn't stay..and I was okay with it. I liked seeing the states anyway...and I liked keeping my brother to myself.. So we're headed to Seattle..I have Gavin..He has me..We don't need nobody else...and it'll be a cold day in hell before someone tries to make us join or get between us That was then...This is now Gavin had no choice but to go his own way to follow his heart and to save another that needed him even more than I did. I'm happy for him. It hurt even though I understood the reasons behind it. He made sure I was taken care of and we talk on the phone but it's just not the same. He sends money to help and is there but...Now, I'm alone..My worst fear come true.. I was working three jobs in Seattle and holding down the bear house while going to school by the skin of teeth. Just trying to avoid feeling all the pain and emotion inside that comes when I'm alone. Then I met Wraith. He was a good guy but life took him another direction leaving me feeling even more isolated than before. I guess that's why I decided to roam again to Miami. I don't have Gavin to stand behind any more. ...Old demons come out to play but I'm moving on..Here's to hoping the little old ladies know how to use a the cross walk and the cops don't harass innocent girls like me in the Sunshine state...
