The Fall- Robby Keene

robby's letter

Jules. Still not putting dear.

            I know things between us is hard. It's been about 5 months since we last talked or you came to see me. You probably don't want to hear from me, but I still wanted to write to you since it's Christmas. I have been trying to stay out of trouble, but this one guy keeps starting things and trying to get me into trouble. He was friends with Trey and Cruz, so that's probably why. It's pretty lonely here, I didn't realize how much I loved your visits until now. It sucks not seeing you, but I can understand why you aren't coming. Johnson came to see me with my lawyer. I guess when I turn 18, she won't be my PO anymore since I'll be a legal adult and she only works with minors. I don't know if she told you that yet, but figured hearing from me might be better. My dad came to see me, it was awkward but nice. He didn't really talk. But when he did, he filled me in on things that were happening in Miyagi do. I didn't know Anthony joined, or that you were training him. I had to hear that from my dad. I hope you aren't pushing yourself, especially with your broken hand. Your yaya mailed me something, I got it a couple days ago. It was baby pictures of you, I'm guessing she never told you that she was sending those to me, but I loved them. She gave me something else, but I'm not supposed to tell you what it is. I promise it's not bad. My mom called me. She asked how things were, told me about her staying with my grandparents and stuff. It was nice to hear from her again. I got a call from Sam too. She was just being herself, but she did mention that Moon told her about what happened between us. With the well you know. I don't know if you knew that, but it was definitely a conversation. I ended up hanging up on her mid-way though. She was lecturing me on it than was staying how I should have gotten help sooner, like the fuck? It wasn't her place, and I knew you would have gotten upset if you heard the things she said so yeah. Anyways, off the drama. That officer you like, officer Riley. He has been helping me out whilst I've been in here. Giving me extra food, letting me have extra time during call hours in case it was you. Even extra outside time. He has been really great; I can see why you like him so much. I guess you can say he has been under his protection while I'm here. It's nice to have since well I won't have that in less than two months. Your brother came to see me, won't lie I was terrified. But he was talking to me about you. Saying you have been trying your hardest to help me since I have been locked up. He said he found the letters that I wrote to you. He ended up apologizing and I did as well, I guess we are on good terms now? It's hard to say. Well, I'm wrapping this up now. I hope to see you again, Jules. That was really the only reason I wake up every morning. Anyways, Merry Christmas or Feliz Navidad? I think that's what it is in Spanish.

                                                                                    Love, Robby.

I chuckled as I read the end of the letter. Tears streaming down my face, they were both a mix of happy and sad. I heard the door open and Xander came into view, he looked at me than at the letter before sitting next to me. He looked at the letter and sighed before pulling my head onto his shoulder with his hand.

Xander- I came up here to tell you that I'm making you watch a horror movie, but when did you get that?

Julia- Robby gave it to be yesterday at the visit. I didn't want to read it, but I found it in my bag, so I just decided to now. 

He went to say something, but I had sat up and wiped my tears before putting the letter back in my bag. I looked at him as he looked at me.

Julia- So you and Alex? You or him text each other yet?

Xander- Yeah, he wants to hang out this weekend. Subject changer.

Julia- I'm good at it, but that's amazing! Is it a date or just "friends"?

Xander- Both are those equal the same thing when you say it like that, Jules. We are doing it as friends, with no "".

Julia- Mhm, that's what I said when I was hanging out with a guy and now look at us!

Xander- He also invited you over for pizza because he "had too much". You were just too native to notice the signs.

I looked at him with my eyebrow raised as he chuckles and stood up. He grabbed my hand making me stand before leading me downstairs. Xander pushed me onto the couch and laid next to me, again putting his feet over my legs. I sighed and grabbed my food before he started playing the movie. Throughout the movie, he kept letting out the girlest screams and then checking his phone at the most important parts. Usually, I would be annoyed but seeing him smile at his phone screen, I couldn't be mad at that. The credits started rolling on the TV. I looked at Xander who was still staring at his phone. I got the brightest idea and put my trash on the table before removing his legs from mine. Before he even had the time to question, I grabbed his phone from his hands and ran as fast as I could to the bathroom. He was so close to grabbing me before I slammed the bathroom door shut and locked it. I opened his phone and started reading his and Alex's texts. Xander started banging the door as I read them out loud.

Julia- "I really liked your shirt today, Xander! Blue is my favorite color, looks good on you!" "Oh, thank you, Alex! I really liked your pants! Well not that I was looking-" 

Xander- Jules! Stop it!!

Julia- *laughing* "I was going to talk to you more, but my parents were there, maybe Saturday we could 'get to know each other' better!" Puaj! (Yuck!) 

I was going to read more but I heard the door unlock causing me to scream and run to hide in the shower. Xander walked in and opened the curtain, he grabbed his phone before quickly moving out of the way as he turned on the shower. The cold water soaking my clothes as I shrieked from the feeling. He started laughing at me to the point where he was kneeling on the ground as I got out of the shower drenched. I started shaking my hair as the water went everywhere like a wet dog, before he had the chance to get up and run. I jumped on his back causing his shirt to get soaked. He groaned as he started carrying me to his room. He dropped me on the ground as he glared at me playfully. I stood up laughing till I looked at my cast, it was soaked. Xander was looking through my bag before pulling out the 'FBI' shirt.

Xander- So is this you're coming out story?

I grabbed the shirt out of his hand and slapped him with my non-casted hand. I grabbed a pair of sweats, that were also Robby's out of my bag.

Julia- It's Robby's and look you got my cast wet, you ass! Be grateful I was supposed to get it off Friday anyways.

He chuckled as he walked into his closest and started changing his shirt, I took the chance to quickly changed into fresh clothes aka the 'FBI' shirt and sweats before throwing my wet clothes at him. Xander laughed and through my clothes into his hamper as he laid on his bed. I joined him not too long after.

Julia- I still can't believe you have a crush on Johnson's kid, out of everyone her kid.

Xander- Hey, in my defense. He asked me for my number, blame him not me.

I chuckled as I adjusted myself to get more comfortable, he looked at me as he set his phone on the charger.

Xander- How do you say 'I love you' in spanish?

Julia- Me gustan los pies (I like feet.)

He tried to repeat what I said but I just started laughing making him hit me with a pillow.

Xander- What did you almost make me say?!

Julia- That you liked feet, I got Robby to say the same thing when he asked what something meant in Spanish! idiota! (idiot)

He groaned as he hit me one more time before laying down. 

Xander- But seriously, how do you say it?

Julia- Te amo (I love you.)

Xander- Aw, I know you do!

I glared at him as he smirked. I pushed him away from me before I faced away from him and closed my eyes as I heard a thud followed by his groan out of pain making me bit back a laugh.
