Hush

29.Shit Happens.

Xander walked in front of Clutch as they made their way to the mail room.

"Stop walking fast." Clutch said as he pulled Xander back towards him.

"Sorry. Sorry." Xander said quietly slowing down his pace.

"Alright let's get these service hours." The officer yelled as he clapped his hands.

All of the block got dressed, they gathered up, and headed outside to the busses.

"Aye where we going?"

"To clean up trash nigga."

They all piled off the bus and on to the side walk of the cemetery. After instructions they started cleaning. Xander would read the headstone each grave he passed.

"Sanchaz Robbie Augustine. A loved son, best friend, and soulmate."

"Hey its okay." Clutch said rubbing Xander's back.

Within a couple of hours they were finally done with their service hours. When they got back to the jail it was only noon. Xander was pulled away from the group by a fellow officer. He followed the man into the building next to the court yard.

"Have a seat."

Xander nodded and sat in front of the desk. The man walked out the room closing the door, shaking his leg Xander looked around the room his attention went to the door as he heard the doorknob turn.

"Mr. Xander Perez." She started as she read through the files in her hand. " I have been watching your case over these past years and there is no way you can be guilty." She said as she sat in her desk. She continued. "Court is in 2 hours, so that means we have to find you a suit." She finally finished with a smile leaving Xander on the verge of crying.

After what nearly felt like days Xander and his lawyer Leah were finally side by side in the court room. Leah held Xander's hand tightly as they waited for the jury.

"And the jury finds Xander.R.Perez not guilty on all 12 charges." The judge said with a smile and nodding his head towards Xander.

"There is a god." Xander sighed as a tear ran down his cheek.

Xander made his way to his cell with a bag to put his clothes in. He walked in to see Clutch on his bunk looking kind of sad.

"So you're leaving?"

Xander nodded sympathetically, making Clutch nod back.

Within minutes Xander was done packing and looking around to make sure he had everything.

"I hope to see you soon Calvin." Xander said his real name kissing him on the lips and leaving with a hug.

Xander walked up to the same house his boyfriend, best friends, and sister shared. He laughed as he saw the children toy near the garage. He knocked on the door. "Robbie get it." A female voice yelled.

"I know its been 3 years but damn whose voice could that be." Xander said to himself as he heard commotion in the house.

"Hey. wasssup?" He asked as he swung the door open.

"Um i think i have the wrong house." Xander said shaking his head.

"You dont."

"But i dont know a Robbie and the girls voice isn't very familiar." Xander said softly with his head down a little.

Xander said the mans name over and over again until he remembered the day at the cemetery where he saw Sanchaz's grave or so he thought.

"Hey babe whats going on." Said a slim light skin as she hugged 'robbie' from behind.

"Oh he was just asking about a job at the company or maybe even house sitting and watching the kids." He nodded and Xander nodded back with a fake smile. She smiled back as she walked away from the door.

'Kids?.....a company ?...my baby girl Annalee.' Xander thought to himself.

"Hi mister." Said a little girl no older than four

"Annalee go back and play with your brother."

Xander stood there with watery eyes.He just stood there in awe.

"Shit happens."

"Bullshit." Xander said roughly has he made his way back to Leah's car.
