A Tale Of Two Hearts

Samir

I looked at all these papers on the floor and what I thought my past wouldn't catch up with me it did. Back When I was living in Texas before I moved to Cali.

I was in a gang and we use to do dumb shit.

Until one day one of the dudes I use to hang with killed a whole family. It just so happen the family was my ex girlfriends family and I couldn't believe it.

He blamed it on me. Like he believed I did it too. So I got life for that shit Bruh I was scared. I had never been to jail being 16 years old in a gang getting life in jail is crazy.

So I had to face facts that I was in there for life. So I did about 6 months in the pen until my lawyer filed for an appeal.

It went through because they found evidence that the other dude did it. They gave him my sentence and I was free to go.

So my mom moved us out to Cali we were there for almost a year and a half till we had to come out here in Maryland.

Long story short they had me in the system but they dropped the charges.

But this story made it to the papers and this what was in my house hella newspapers, paper, and story line cut outs.

Of my face.

My name.

My family.

My everything.

Saying that I killed that family saying I did it and I didn't now I have to explain this to Anasie.

Nobody knew about this expect for Nate, my mom, my uncle, and the entire state of Texas.

"I already know." Anasie said lowly. While I looked at her confused.

"Huh what you mean?" I asked hella confused.

"I was there the day of your sentence I was there."She said looking at me with glossy eyes.

"Remember Samir that day.
I was with Nate I was off to the side but I was there when you had your court date and your appeal. I know you didn't do it. Because your lawyer. Well she's my aunt." She said looking down at her feet.

While I'm still confused. "So what you saying is that you were there for my appeal and my court date and saw everything?" I asked to clear everything up.

"Yes and I know who did this." She said coming closer to me.

"Who?" I said getting mad as fuck.

"April fools bitch." She said busting out laughing.

While I looked at her confused still.

"Samir me and Nate did this paper shit ain't nobody out to get yo ass we was just joking but yeah I do know what happen I was there we never met but yeah."

"I fucking hate y'all you had me scared shitless yo. Like y'all can't be doing that alright." I said while pulling her into a hug.
