Background: Gavriella was born to a 15-year-old teenage mother. From what her mother has told her (which could be lies), her grandmother wanted her mother to abort the baby or give it up for adoption. Obviously, Lorraine Spencer did neither. Due to this, Lorraine was disowned after Gavi was born. She did the best she could, trying to finish school, but it never happened. She instead found odd jobs – waitressing overnight in diners, babysitting – any job where she was allowed to bring her infant child along. She refused help from the father of her child – she only took his child support checks.
When Gavi was 5, her mother found a new job – prostitution. It seemed to be the perfect situation – Gavi got to spend time with her mother during the day (except for when she was in school) and she was asleep whilst her mother worked. However, this brought a slew in bad things in its wake. Lorraine constantly came home with new boyfriends – none of them that were all that nice. They bribed Gavi when they were mean to her mother, so she’d be on their side. She never knew quite what to think and when she tried to attach herself to a boyfriend, they’d push her away or sometimes hit her.
This left Gavi confused as to how fathers should be. And it was when she was 8 when her mother let her meet her real father. He was kind and sweet and bought Gavi lots of books and toys. He kept in contact since that day, sending Gavi flowers & sweets on minor holidays and money and toys on bigger holidays or her birthday. She still never knew what to make of her father – she expected him to leave like the others – but he never did. As she got older, she thought she might be in love with her father.
As Gavi got older, however, those feelings were transferred onto another individual.
