Forever His

Chapter Fifteen

Sunshine's POV

After sitting in awkward silence for what seemed like forever I decided I had the right to know everything about Gavin. I mean we never got the chance to have a real conversation. I mean I don't even know what his favorite color is. Walking to the kitchen I started to gather things to make dinner. "So Justin how about I make us dinner and you can tell me all about Gavin and his life before me" I said as I cut up some fruit. I can tell he is starting to get uncomfortable but sat down at the dinner table "I don't think it's my place to tell his story I mean it doesn't seem right" he said quietly, sighing loudly I closed my eyes tightly "Please Justin I don't know anything about Gavin I don't know if he is a coffee person or if he has parents, hell I don't even know his fucking birthday" I said with a single tear falling down my face.

Justin sat up and walked slowly to the bar grabbing the biggest bottle of wine and sighed "We are gonna need this then, have a seat I'll make us dinner" he said pouring me a big glass and sitting me at the table he started to prep the food. To be honest I am regretting asking him to tell me mostly because I am afraid of what I'll find and if it is worse than everything I know so far. He started to cook and took in a deep breath "So I meant Gavin our junior year of high school I had just moved from Texas to New York and I was upset at the world for no reason at all, but my first week of school was boring until one day in my science class it started out normal until half way through into class the door slammed open and in walked Gavin with blood on this knuckles and a bloody lip" he said as he was cooking. Wow even as a teen Gavin was evil which is actually not that surprising but I looked at him even more curious "Please continue" I said softly.

He just chuckles "Well after that first incident I didn't notice him much until I tried out for football one of our players Kyle was giving me a hard time and Gavin walked right up to him and socked him right in the jaw, from that day on we were like brothers I would help him stay out of trouble and he showed me his way of living" he laughed as he poured more wine into our cups, I wonder if Gavin would have even noticed me I mean I was a fat goth girl I mean I still am but I had the black lipstick, fishnets and platform boots I loved those boots but dad hated them so much he threw them all way which broke my heart. Justin looked at me and handed me his phone to show a picture of him a girl and Gavin in prom outfits and he smiled sweetly "Gavin introduced me to my wife Alexis she was in our science class and I was madly in love with her but I had zero game, luckily Gavin was my wingman and I was able to ask her to prom". As I looked at the picture I got confused "Where is Gavin's date?" I asked but he rolled his eyes "Gavin never dated in high school or even in college he never took anyone seriously, he always used to say light doesn't belong in his world cause it's full of darkness" he said and it made me chuckle "I didn't go to my prom no one asked me and my sister already had a date so I didn't want to be a third wheel, I was bullied a lot because of my weight and it got so bad I started harm myself in a lot of was." I paused myself and sighed. Justin just walked over to me and hugged me tightly and said "If we were in high school together we would have been friends''.

After eating dinner I started to clean the dishes and looked at Justin "Hey don't stop please tell me more about Gavin" I said impatiently but this time instead of talking Justin was just staring off into space obviously thinking of something serious. At this point I felt so impatient I have been through hell for so long I deserve to know the truth about Gavin and who exactly he is but no one could ever give me a straight answer "You know what don't tell me he is an evil man who was probably born that way!!" I shouted slamming my hands down on the table, but at that moment Justin stood up red in the face "You don't know shit about what that man was born into!! All the shit he had to do to survive that house!!" He huffed and realized what he had said and the look on his face was one of defeat before sitting back down again. Looking at him I sat down next to him and put my hand on his "Please Justin I just want to know who I am married to and he is not here to tell me anything so I beg you please tell me" I said softly with tears forming in my eyes, "Gavin's father is the devil in human form" he bite out roughly "His dad was the Don of the most powerful mob in all of Italy he killed for fun and always made sure Gavin knew what he was, he would beat him and his mom making him feel like a weak man" as he continued I felt sick to my stomach dumbfounded with the thought of anyone hurting Gavin. "One day when Gavin was in high school he came home to find his dad fighting with his mom and his dad was tell him to never waste his time on any girl because they are will never be anything but a weakness and that he needs to be a man and realize that he is going to be the next don" Justin paused for a minute obviously not wanting to continue " Then what happened?" I said quietly and Justin looked at me and sighed. "That night Gavin heard them fighting again but then he heard a gunshot, he ran downstairs and found that his dad shot his mom" He said softly.. I couldn't breathe I felt so much emotions at once and all I wanted to do was hug Gavin and telling him how sorry I was for all of that, I didn't say anything to Justin I couldn't even look at him, I got up slowly from the table walked silently down the hall opened the door to the bedroom and shut the door...Shut out the world.....
