Gavin Pittman is the 18-year-old son of Anthony and Katie Pittman. The Pittmans also had a 21-year-old daughter named Emma. Originally from Florida, the Pittman family moved cross country and settled in Los Angeles, California when Gavin was two. Anthony Pittman worked with the Los Angeles Police Department and Katie Pittman was a doctor at the UCLA Health Center, one of the biggest hospitals in all of Los Angeles. They ended up moving into a home neighboring another family the Clarks. Madison and Steven Clark were the parents and the two children were Alicia and Nicholas Clark. The families quickly became close friends and soon Gavin and Alicia were having a plethora of playdates together growing up. They started kindergarten at the same time and were the same age. As long as anyone could remember, Gavin Pittman and Alicia Clark were best friends. The friendship started before school even began. Almost 16 years later, their bond was as strong as it had ever been. In middle school, the children finally began socializing more around the opposite gender. Dating was something that occurred first in middle school. While nobody expected anything permanent to happen with a couple that started dating in middle school, Gavin and Alicia shocked everyone. It was sixth grade when Gavin wrote Alicia a note in English class and asked if she would be his girlfriend. Of course, she said yes and they shared their first two weeks later in the treehouse behind the Pittmans home. Fast forward to their senior year of high school and they were still growing strong. They never took any breaks, they never broke up, and neither was ever disloyal to the other. It was in 9th grade when Gavin first uttered the words I love you, Alicia Clark. He meant them. Every day since then, he has said those three words countless times. Of course, every relationship has a rough patch. They had theirs but they talked out problems like grown adults and worked everything out. It made their relationship even stronger and more likely to succeed. They were even accepted into the same college together The University of California Berkley. They were both intelligent and Gavin was also attending on a scholarship to play football for the University. Things were going swell right now, but they had not always been happy. Three years ago, something happened that would change the family forever. Officer Anthony Pittman answered a domestic violence call late one Summer night. It started out as something easily defused but he had the luck of running into a man that cared about his life no longer. A raged druggie that just hit his girlfriend ended up shooting Anthony Pittman and killing him on the scene. It was two in the morning when the call came in from the Police Station, informing them of what happened. Even though Gavins mother tried to stay strong, Katie was truly broken. The last three years had been difficult. She was no longer a doctor, but she was working as a nurse. Her job suffered because she could not concentrate or go that long without breaking down. Gavin, on the other hand, used the tragedy to drive him and make his father proud. Gavin became the star quarterback on the football team and had the personality to match it. Gavin was charming, outspoken, motivated, and lively. He did have a temper sometimes but he was mostly known for being kind to everyone. All the students knew about Gavins home situation and he truly inspired others because the tragedy did not stop him from becoming a great person. His sister, Emma, went off to college a month after their father was killed. She returned home in Florida to the University of Florida and was starting her final year. She wanted to be an engineer. It left Gavin and his mother at home, alone. He did help his own mother mend her wounds and heal, but she could never return to the happy, bubbly person she was before losing her husband. Out of all the relationships in his life, the most stable was with Alicia Clark. They had a loving relationship. They were the IT couple even if Alicia was not the head cheerleader but she was still with the star quarterback. Anyone that knew Gavin knew that he loved Alicia more than anything in the world. Nothing could ever change that and he saw a real future with this girl. Since her own home life was dysfunctional with the loss of her father and dealing with her drug addict brother, Gavin liked to think he was a rock for Alicia. Countless times, Madison had ignored her daughter because something was happening with Nick. She often seemed overshadowed by her older brother. Gavin never overlooked her, though. She was never second or third when she was in his arms. She was always first and was always the most important thing in his life. He always reassured her of that. They were only a few weeks away from graduation. It was an exciting time, but so many people had fallen sick. It screwed up with the schedules of the standardized testing and some people might not graduate on time. Thankfully, Gavin had remained well. His mother was a doctor and always enforced cleanliness when he was a child. Only last week, more tragedy struck, however. They told Gavin that she contracted an airborne illness. It was all so sudden and she was killed in a matter of hours. Gavin had seen her that morning before he left for school. It was almost three oclock when he was called into the guidance counselors office to inform him that his mother had passed away earlier that day. It bothered Gavin because what kind of disease would cause this? Even stranger, the hospital did not let him look at her body, like they were hiding something. Nonetheless, it was real. The only alleviation was that the Guidance Counselor was Madison Clark. She was like a second mother to him and promised Gavin he could stay with her family, in her home until he and Alicia were getting ready to move into their dorms in the fall. The Clarks loved Gavin like he was their own son. They accepted him into the family long ago, hearing wedding bells in the future for himself and Alicia. He was thankful and he was even allowed to stay in Alicias room with his girlfriend. They did trust him more than they should have, but without Alicia, Gavin had no idea how he could survive this. For some reason, he had been unable to reach his sister in the past week. Nobody could get word out to her about their mothers death so the funeral proceeded and Gavin was the only family that knew about the situation. It was heartbreaking but Gavin kept a strong face each day. He still felt optimistic about his future and refused to let anything cloud his mind. It was now a Monday morning. Gavin was shirtless, wearing a pair of athletic basketball shorts and cotton-knit, dark green boxers underneath. Beside him was his girlfriend, Alicia. She was wrapped in his arms just like he remembered last night before they fell asleep. In fact, he was still asleep until there was knocking at the door. It was their wake-up call. Gavin, Alicia. Its time to get up! Madison called out before opening the door slightly to ensure they heard her. She made nothing of them sleeping in the same bed together because she did trust Gavin and knew that young adults would be young adults. She had other things to worry about. When Madison left the room, Gavin rolled over to look at the clock. 7 AM. Shaking his head, Gavin yawned and turned back to face Alicia. It was his first day back at school since the passing of his mother. Since Madison worked there, she would give Alicia and Gavin a ride to and from school each day. Now, the male rolled over to face his girlfriend, their faces only inches away from one another. Princess. He whispered, greeting her with a soft kiss on the lips. How did you sleep?
