Guardian Protected — Selena Millman

At 8-years-old, Ty was left by his parents at a youth detention center. Two years later, Gabriel (10) came over. He told Ty he noticed Ty was the only one working and wanted to help. Ty did not understand. He asked if Gabriel's family would miss him. Gabriel said he was an orphan and lived in the orphanage across the street. For two years, they worked hard with no one noticing. Wayne noticed. He adopted Ty and Gabriel. Every time they tried to work, Wayne told them they were not to work. Wayne was very protective of the two. When Ty and Gabriel were 18, they still lived with Wayne in his mansion. Gabriel asked if Wayne would find his birth family. He wanted to know them too. Gabriel's father (Chris) and brother (Jye) moved in. Wayne continued to stress Chris was Gabriel's "birth father" but he was the father of Ty and Gabriel.
