Forbidden Love (A Mavin Fanfic) [COMPLETE]

Chapter 16: And I Loved It

Gavin started screaming.

"Gav!" I saw the tattoo 'B24601' disappear. A moment later Gavin grabbed his arm in pain, still screaming. Tears came like a waterfall, I felt terrible.

"Gavin!" I held him tight. Gracie were are you now? You're son is in  excruciating pain! Where the hell are you?

He was struggling but he managed to say, "I'm fine-my arm's burning!" He cringed. I felt so bad for him, but I had no idea what to do. I took his arm that he was grabbing. 

"Gavin, let go. I need to see." He did what I told him. He unveiled 'B24601' disappearing. I looked at his arm and then at him. He looked so shocked so, terrified. "Gavin, Gavin buddy. Stay with me. It's okay. It's okay, buddy." He nodded.

"I've got some explaining don't I?" I turned my head.

"Oh! Thank God you're here. I didn't know a mother could just watch her one and only son suffer. What kind of mother are you?!" I turned back to Gavin.

"Mum?" Gavin whimpered. "Mum?" He didn't look at her but still looked puzzled. "But-but, you left us so long ago. Why are you here now?" He winced, grabbing his arm firmer.

"Look Gav-"

"Shut up! Just shut it Gracie!" I yelled. "Gavin, you alright? How's your arm?" I softened.

"Better." He smiled at me. "Can you help me to the couch, Micoo?" So, I carried him to the couch and his mother followed. I sat him down and he looked at his mother for the first time in 23 years. "So, you're my mother."

Gracie looked down. "I'm sorry Gavin. I couldn't handle another child after Johnny was stillborn. I've already lost one, I can't lose another." Tears fell from her face.

"I-I had a brother?" Gavin asked. I switched from person to person when they spoke. This was all new to me about the brother.

"Yes. His name was Johnny Free. You have his eyes and stunning smile." She tried smiling at Gavin and then looked at me. "I lied to you Michael. The genie crap never happened, I just wanted to protect my little boy. I made Gavin collapse every time, I ruined your car, left you those letters. I did that. Everything having to deal with Gavin, was my fault. I-I'm sorry Michael."

I was unsure what to say, wordless. I stared at Gracie's red face and she looked at me back with pleading eyes. "I-" No other words were shared. I stood and went to my room. I went to freshen up before I had to go to work. I fixed my hair, pulled a beanie over my head and walked out. I grabbed Gavin, grabbed our shoes and socks, and pulled us out of the house. I went to the car, made Gavin go in, threw him his shoes and left. 

We arrived at work pretty early. Burnie, Gus, and Geoff were there. They greeted us and I tried smiling back. Gavin followed me to the AH office and when we entered Gavin freed himself. 

"What the hell, Micoo!" He was still shocked and was frowning.

"I'm sorry. I knew Gracie, you're mother for a while and I've been angry at her. I can't believe she did that to you." I felt terrible.

"Micoo," Gavin walked toward me but I didn't move. "I love you." And with that he kissed me.

And I loved it.
