Xavier Gonzalez 

Saturday morning

"Xavier, wake up cutie" I groaned as I pull the blanket over my head

"No Layla five more minutes " I mumbled 

"No can't do , you've to get up " I  opened my  eyes to see Layla Kneeing down playing with my hair  

" I don't have anything to do today It's Saturday "The boy has a lost look on him

"I know but your father  asked for you to be ready" She said 

"P-papa?" 

"Yeah now chop chop sweet boy"  she clasped her hands together 

"Alright I'm up" I got of bed and took a shower 

I walked out of bathroom to see outfit laid out on bed

I got dressed and running towards the stairs 

As I crushed into a wall wait I don't think there's a wall here

It's something hard though that made me fall back on my butt

I looked up to see papa standing

"Xavier what have I told you about running?" He said as raising an eyebrow

"'M sorry" I mumbled as I looked down

"Sorry what ? Xavier" He said sternly 

"For not listening and running"

"Look at me when you're talking to me"  he pulled me up and lift my chin up to look up at him

"I'm sorry  papa" He sighed 

"Let's get downstairs , your mom and I have to talk to you"

We walked in the kitchen 

I see mama sitting at the table not happy

What happened? It should be good we're having breakfast together

Grandma always says family bonding matters

I sat down so did dad and we ate in silence until papa spoke up

"How was your week Xavier ?" as he placed his spoon down

"It was good , Coach said I have a game coming up"

"That's great buddy, are you keeping up with your grades " He  raised an eyebrow 

"Yes papa everything is good"

 "That if you even care" Mom mumbled 

Papa turned to her " What was that?"

"If you here you would know about how's he doing"  she scoffed 

I watched papa as he's clenching his fists

Oh that's not good I don't wanna be here plea-

"Mr. Gonzalez,  your lawyer is here" Annalise 

Lawyer? Mr. Chambers ?

"Alright thank you"

Papa stood up as he looked at me "Come on Xavier "

Me? why? what do I have to do with it?

"Xavier yes you have something to do with this now come on "As he held out his hand

Oh I said that out loud , silly me . I took his hand as Mama following behind

We walked in living room and see Mr. Chambers

He stood up and shook Papa's hand 

"Good morning Mr. and Mrs.  Gonzalez " as he nodded at mom
