Maverick’s Bar and Grill was crowded when Gabe Herrera arrived just after
ten o’clock on Friday night. After the day he’d had, he needed a drink, and
Maverick’s was his go-to bar. Located on a bluff overlooking the ocean in
Oceanside, California, it was only a few blocks from his apartment at
Ocean Shores, and he knew just about everyone who worked at Maverick’s,
including his roommate, Max Donovan, and the owners of the bar, Brad and
Tyler Morrison.
He was almost to the door when he heard his name called. He turned to
see his nineteen-year-old sister, Christina, hurrying toward him, her long
black hair flying out behind her. His first thought was that her dress was too
short and her heels too high, but she wasn’t a little girl anymore, and he
needed to keep those thoughts to himself. He just felt protective. At thirtyone, he was twelve years older than Christina, and after their father had died
eight years ago, he’d had to step into his dad’s shoes and help watch over his
three younger siblings, all of whom seemed to be in some sort of crisis at
the moment.
“What are you doing here, Christina? Is everything all right?”
“Mama wants to kick me out of the house,” she replied in dramatic
fashion.
He let out a quick breath, happy her trip to see him was just about
another fight between Christina and his mother. “There’s no way that’s true.
She wouldn’t kick you out.”
She gave him a hurt and angry look. “I wouldn’t lie.”
“Why would she say that?” he asked. “What did you do?”
“I didn’t come home last night. It was late, and I stayed at Eric’s
apartment. I meant to send her a text, but I forgot.”
“So, she gave you the speech about if you want to live with her, you
have to follow her rules.”
“I’m nineteen, Gabe. I’m an adult. If I was away at the university where
I wanted to be, she wouldn’t even know what I’m doing, but I stayed home
and went to community college to save money, and now I’m being
punished.”
“You’re not being punished, you’re being loved.”
“I’m being smothered.”
“She worries about you, Christina. And you’re going away to school in
September. It’s June. You have three months to get through. Just go home
by midnight and you’ll be fine. Or don’t forget to text Mom if you’ll be late,
so she won’t worry.”
