Okay so at this point the "love" is innocent
Abitha has an innocent outlook on what Love really is
only having witnessed it in, TV, Movies, Book etc.
She has a very innocent outlook and knows there
is family love, friend love and lovers. She thinks this is
family love. Which any love at this point is just
so important to her ie from all the abuse she
suffered.
Gavin is in denial at this point. He's always
had to keep a distance from his Abitha
and his >> true feelings are unrealized.
Like at this point dude thinks he
loves her as a big brother should and just
wants to protect her and take care of her >>
But like he's done weird stuff.
Taking her things, they share clothes
cause Margo would only buy her son clothes.
Abitha got handmedowns.
If she's worn a shirt he wouldn't
wash it cause it smells like her and he liked that.
>> That day he saved her from the car yeah
everday he would follow her to and from school
to make sure she got there but never let her
know. In his head he thought he's just watching
out for her and ignores his darker feelings.
