this wasn't meant to happen to gavin. a highschool dropout who was hooked on drugs, barely making enough funds to afford his shitty one bedroom apartment while supporting his drug habit.
to top it all off? you, his girlfriend, were now pregnant. he wasn't ready to be a father! he was eighteen, barely smart enough to have passed his driver's test, often partying and indulging himself in the sins life had to offer.
now, it wasn't that he didn't love you. you were the best thing that had ever happened to him! you were just as crazy as he was, but... becoming parents? it was a huge step for two barely-legal teens.
he couldn't do what his father had done to him, though. he had been a product of an absentee dad and a drug addicted, prostituting mother. he could see the potential of putting his future child right back into the position; it was unacceptable.
he'd work on getting clean. it wasn't easy. he'd offer to have you move in, picking up extra shifts at the shitty fast food joint he worked at and searching for a second job. things were hard. he hoped it was worth it.
