Boy meets girl. Boy and girl are happy. Girl gets pregnant. Boy has no choice but to marry girl, or his mother will beat the living shit out of him. Boy becomes a miserable, abusive prude. Marriage is bound to fail from the very beginning. Two years after their son was born, it was discovered that another child was on the way. His mother didn't want to have this child seeing what young Gabriel had seen so in the dead of night, she packed their things and ran to Miami with her sleeping son. Without a way to support them, she started scouting around for jobs and began to work on getting citizenship for her and her son. It was a messy process but after seven years, they got it. During those seven years, little Gabriel was pushed around in school and tried to do what he could to protect his little sister. Since his mother had given up on relationships, he had become the man of the house, even if he didn't have a way to support them. Shortly before his tenth birthday, his mother's real occupation was discovered. It didn't take long for him to figure things out when the pimp came calling on his favorite bitch, using her children as a way to keep her in line. It made the boy's blood boil, to say the least. Like a good kid, he kept his mouth shut and did as he was told. After all, he was just a boy. How did he expect to save his mother from such a fate when he couldn't even protect himself from an atomic wedgie? At sixteen, he had enough. He took his younger sister and ran. Thanks to their running, they found themselves in Sapphire Bay. He got emancipated and took custody of his sister. Soon after, he dropped out of school and got a job to put food on the table. He insisted that she stay in school so she could make something of herself. Big brother had to make sacrifices, right? That's precisely what he did. There weren't any lengths he wouldn't go to make sure his sister had the life she deserved. Two years later, at the urging of a coworker, he got his GED. From there, while still managing to make sure his sister had the 'good life,' he went to college, intent on becoming a police officer. After four years of college and six months in the police academy, he got his wish. Apparently, he did well, considering his sister wanted to teach the youthful minds of tomorrow. Somewhere, during those four and a half years, he met his brother from another mother, Caleb. The two of them were practically inseparable. As time went on, their bond only grew stronger. Of course, Gabe has certainly had more issues along the way. The man that was behind him getting shot also killed his younger sister. It broke the man's spirit, and he started pushing people away, just to find something to ease his tortured soul. When the chance arose to go to Boston, he took it without a second thought, packed up his shit, and moved for what he hoped would be the last time. Now, he's more intent than ever to catch the bastard that caused the death of his loved ones. The biggest problem he faces is keeping sane enough to keep his job and hiding his true emotional state from everybody around him. After being on the force for four years, you'd think he was better at it but no, sweet Gabe is far from tough. His main priority is just to keep his head above water long enough to finish what he started then from there, he might just go back to living his life. |
