Gabriel's parents split up when she was 13. She lived with her brother for an entire summer before getting a job bussing at a local restaurant called mother's, pretending to be 16. Gaby: I did my first line of coke and made lots of friends in town who, like me, had no curfew and nobody watching. But unlike me, they were 20 and not 13. And i found myself still going to lit league practice in the afternoons while reading d h. Lawrence's women in love at night because it had a photograph of people in bed on the back jacket.
