Always Happens To Me

Chapter 17

GAVIN'S POV 

A WEEK LATER 

Ever since Mari got that call from her brother she's been paranoid about her family coming to L.A.. They sure did a big deal on her, I wish I had known that she was fragile from the start but I guess that she didn't trust me enough, though I'm glad I now know. 

I moved in and I'm planning on asking her out on a date but I still can't decide if this is the best time. I open the door to our apartment, finally getting back from a hard day at work and the police finally let us go back to work. I get in and close the door and notice that Mari isn't home yet so I turn on the Tv. 

Nothing new so I search through the channels and stop on the news channel " The famous  Peterson's have landed  in L.A. this afternoon and are now looking to find their daughter and sister Mari Anne after humiliating her three years ago. Why would they just randomly come and look for her? Are they trying to fix their errors?" 

Oh god, I have to tell Mari, but how she isn't home yet and yes doesn't answer phone call at work. I'll just go and inform her before anyone else does. I turn off the Tv quickly, grab my keys and phone off the counter table and run out and drive off to her office. 

I park my motor bike and spot a shit load of paparazzi outside the building but the security knows me from when I bring Mari her lunch and lets me in. I run up to her office deciding not to take the elevator and spot her. I run up to her, take her tears off with my thumb, and hug her, and then spot three people standing by. 

"Who the hell are you to Mari ?", I ask with aggravation in my voice. 

"We should be asking you the same question ?", the women says with a sassy attitude. 

"I asked the question first, you will answer first as well!" I say getting angry. 

"fine," a older looking man says," we are her family, now who are you?" 

"You are not her family you are just shit filled people who love making people's lives miserable," I say not realizing that I got closer to the man face. 

Mari grabs my arm, pulls me back slightly, and says," It's alright Gavin hey calm down," she then squeezes my hand. 

"Mari" and guy who I amuse is Cade say's," We've realized our mistakes and are sorry for them."

This time Mari stands up angry replacing that pain that was there just a second ago. 

"Well you are three years to late you had me hate myself, you made me hate being alone, and thanks to your bullshit I ended up dating a gang leader for three years without knowing what he was, and you didn't help, but Gavin did and I'm grateful I have him. I don't need a family at all !" 

"Sweety, you do need your family look at you, you're skinnier that when we last saw you, you ended up with a horrible person, and now look at you, what could you possibly get from this Gavin," her mother says back. 

" I can get more than I can get from your fucked up family, and I'm saying your family because I'm not part of your family."

"Honey how could you say that to your mother, I always cared for you!!," her father says. 

"Yeah sure you always told me I was a mistake, and sure maybe I was a mistake but you could have at least loved me!!" Mari says furiously. 

She thens grabs my hand and pulls us out of the building and covering her face to avoid being seen by the paparazzi. I decide that we should take my motorbike and give her my helmet. I then drive us off to the beach so she could think. 

She takes off her stockings and heels as she spots the beach. I then park, run over to the passenger side and open her door. She gives me a slight smile and holds my hand as we walk down the beach.

We sit down and watch as the average Californian surfers surf the waves. 

"Gavin, thank you for everything you have done since I met you, you were like an angel in between all my demons, and I know what I'm about ask isn't the traditional way but would you like to be my boyfriend." 

"Mari I'd love to but I was hoping to asking you after you were better." 

"Gavin how many times do I have to tell you I am not that fragile, and I'm glad you had thought about asking me to be your girlfriend before, I was actually glad that my family came I could finally tell them how I felt about what they'd done." 

She hugs me and sets a light peck on my lips. 

"Mari how about we go home and rest you've had a tiring day,plus it's getting late already.", I say and she nods while a tried yawn escapes her mouth. 

We drive to her office and she grabs her car and then we go home, and cook dinner. She cooks us a delicious spaghetti and a great raspberry iced tea. Afterwards we clean up and get ready to sleep.
