Broken Hearted Girl

High School Graduation Part 2

That Night....

My mom and I made it home an hour later. We had to make a stop to the grocery store. As we walked in the house, I seen my dad in the kitchen talking to my little sister who is biologically their child. Kyler and my dad both ran over to me when they seen me and gave me a hug.

"Avani, how was graduation?" Kyler asked me. She couldn't make it because she had school and track practice. I didn't want her to miss her practice because she has an important track race coming up. Kyler is 15 years old. My mom and dad had her when I was 3. She was actually a miracle child because my mom was told that she couldn't have kids but I'm so happy that my mom got to experience what it's like to be pregnant. I'm glad that she had Kyler because Kyler is the most sweetest and meanest girl and she's very funny and loyal. Kyler have my back through whatever and I have her back through whatever.

"It was good, I'm finally out that bitch." I said, waving my diploma back and forth.

"Hey, babygirl. I miss you." My dad said, giving me a kiss on the forehead. Even though, my dad don't want to admit it, I'm his favorite. Kyler is my mom's favorite and I'm not even bothered from it because even if Kyler is her favorite, she still treats us the same. My parents love us both unconditionally.

"I miss you too, dad. How was work?" I asked him, taking a seat in the kitchen.

"It was fine, could've been better."

"So dad, where's Amber?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. Amber is still bitter that my mom and dad still hangs out even though, they are divorced. She thinks that my dad still wants my mom.

"She's at home, she didn't want to come over and I didn't want to miss out seeing you in your graduation cap and gown." My dad said, with a huge smile. Even though, he couldn't make it to my graduation, I'm super happy and grateful that he came over to see me.

"So, Danny, you staying for dinner or going back home to that witch?" My mom asked. My mom doesn't like Amber for the way she's been trying to start shit with her. She also doesn't like her because she treats Kyler and I like trash.

"Are you jealous, Miss Erica?" My dad asked with sarcasm. My mom grabbed a silver pan from the cabinet.

"Don't make me throw this at you. You know damn well, I'm not jealous of that girl or of y'all relationship." She said, with a playful smirk on her face.

"Yeah," I chimed in, "because she has a date with Mr. Owens."

"Ooh, mom, forreal? I knew you liked him. Ya would be a cute ass couple." Kyler said, with a big smile.

"First of all, Kyler, watch your mouth before I wash it out with soap and trust me that's the worst. Second of all, it's not a date. It's just two friends hanging out." She said. We all rolled our eyes.

"What?" She said, chuckling.

"Even I can tell you that it's a date. You guys wanted each other for a little minute." My dad said, with a smile. My mom and dad are supportive of each other and their decisions. They only got a divorce because they didn't feel the love was there anymore and it was just draining to them so they mutually agreed to get a divorce.

"Okay, fine, it's a date. I'm so nervous, you guys. I haven't been on a proper date since that bozo over there." My mom jokingly said, pointing to my dad.

"Don't be nervous, Erica." My dad said. She smiled at him. I got a text from Devin and I excused myself and went upstairs to my room. He told me to call him so I changed into a crop top sweater and sweatpants. I put my hair in a low ponytail. I left my makeup on because I didn't feel like taking it off.

I grabbed my phone and called Devin.

"Hey, Devi." I said.

"Hey, mamas. Are you home?" He asked. We was on FaceTime with each other. It seems like he was sitting outside, watching his little brother play with his bestfriend. I love his relationship with his little brother.

"Yeah, when are you coming over? I wanna see your fine ass." I said, biting my lip. He smiled at me and licked his lips.

"After my parents come back from the grocery store, I'll come over. I'm just watching Mehki and Darnell." He said.

"How's my lil Khi?"

"He's bad as shit. Nah, I'm just playing, he's good. He misses you coming over." Devin said.

"Aww, tell him Ima come over tomorrow or the next day." I said, with a smile on my face. Mekhi is like a little brother to me. He's 12 years old and he has a crush on Kyler.

"Alright, babe. Well, babe, I'll see you later. Ima call you when I'm outside. Your goofy ass better stay up since you love to fall asleep on me." I rolled my eyes.

"I won't, I promise, babe." I said. He blew me a kiss and I blew me one before we hung up the phone. I put my phone on the charger and laid down. I can't believe that Vanessa lady wanted to see me. Like why would she want a second chance all of a sudden? Why did she expect me to be all happy and excited to see her knowing damn well she put me through a lot of shit and didn't give a fuck.
