Chapter Fourteen

Lila

I WAS STUNNED. NEVER would I have guessed that Gavin, of all people, would have a home life like that. He seemed so confident, so put together. So perfect.

Of course, there had been signs. He had avoided talking about his family before in conversations. He had spent the holidays mostly on campus, to the point where he hung out with Star and me rather than go home. I probably should have picked up on him not going home as more than a choice of not really wanting to spend time with them like I didn’t want to spend time with my folks.

His reasons were much darker. Much more real. My desire not to get picked on because I wasn’t waifish thin or because I ate too much at dinner or because I was pursuing sports rather than something more ‘pragmatic’ seemed wildly childish. My parents didn’t accidentally send a biker gang after me to collect money they had blown.

“You said your dad spent it,” I said. “Is there any way to get that money back, maybe? Like sell the stuff he bought?”

“I don’t think so,” he said. “Even if I could get back home and try to sell or return some of it, I probably wouldn’t make enough to cover half of it by the end of the week. And that would be giving up the games and everything.”

“It’s just so unfair,” I muttered.

“It’s not the first time,” he grumbled. “He gambled for a long time. Had a really bad problem with it. Lost a bunch of money and borrowed it from a different biker gang. He used to box and ended up betting on himself and got knocked out. Two for one on that one.”

“Oh, shit,” I said. “That’s horrible.”

Gavin simply nodded, his eyes still on the door.

“I had to nurse him back to health with Mom after that fight. Busted eye, busted eardrum, busted brain for all that. He was groggy and clearly had a concussion. And then this dude bust through our door and said Dad owed him five K.”

“What did you do?” I asked.

“I was nine. I didn’t do shit,” he said. “Mom promised we would have it in two days. Then she kissed my head and said everything would be okay and that we needed to pack. We packed all our shit and left Dad there that night. I didn’t know what was happening, really, but a couple days later, Dad called us and he somehow worked it out with them. Of course, all our shit was gone in the house. Anything we didn’t take with us to the hotel was gone. My bed was gone. My video games. Everything.”

“Gavin, that’s horrible,” I said.

“It’s life,” he said, shrugging. “But then, that gang got busted for some dumb shit, and Dad started hanging out with a different one. These guys. They’re... different. Dad’s done boxing now, too old and beat up for it, so he was working on their bikes to get favors, you know?
