Mine Forever

Chapter 30

"Congrats everyone." I head someone say. I looked around for Alex, but never found him. People came up to me to get pictures and I tried to smile.

"Hey you." Alex said. He quickly kissed me and I felt a big hug. I turned around to see his parents hugging me. I hugged them back and smiled.

"Hey Myra can you take a picture for us?" His mom said. I smiled and nodded. I waited for them to get ready and I looked around and how happy everybody was.

"Okay. 1..2..3." I took a few pictures and let them look. I continued looking around as they talked. I sat down on the nearest bench and put my head in my hands.

"I finally did it." I said to myself. I cried a little. I was happy I finally graduated, but my family wasn't here to see it. I cried a little more before wiping my face off.

"Bestfriend don't cry we all have bad days, but today is a day to be happy." I looked up to see Rodney. I smiled weakly and he hugged me.

"I have these days everyday. I've finally graduated and my family isn't here to see me." I felt more tears come down my face. I just wanted to go home.

"We are your family and Im proud of you. We all made it. Had to fight a couple of people on the way, but hey we better people now." I smiled and laughed.

"Yeah you right, but go back to your family Rodney. I'll catch up with yall later. I think I'm going to go home and get some rest." We both stood up. I hugged him and smiled. I walked back to Alex. He looked so worried.

"Where were you? I was so worried. Are you okay?" He said touching all over my face. I frowned a little.

"No I'm not okay. You know I'm not." He nodded and hugged me. "I want to go home. I mean home home not back to your moms house." I said.

"Let's go then." He said. We walked back to his car and I sighed while he closed my door and went to his side. He got in and started the car. I felt tears come down my face. I looked out the window and Alex pulled over.

"Why'd you pull over?" I said wiping my face. I didn't want it to be obvious, but I knew he already knew.

"Talk to me." He said. I looked over at him and he was looking at me. I cried even more. He pulled me into his chest. I couldn't stop crying. I just wanted everything to work out, but I knew that's not how my life worked.

"They didn't even come." I said I between sniffles. I looked at Alex's shirt and it had a big wet stain where I was at.

"Let's go talk to them. Right now. I'm done seeing you cry like my heart hurts because I know your does. I can't see you cry anymore." He said. He lifted me up and wiped my face. He cupped my face and kissed me. I held onto his hands. I didn't want to let go, but I did. He looked at me and started driving again.

"I don't want to go talk to them. I'm going to call my dad and see what he can do." He glanced over at me and stayed silent. "What? Is that a bad idea?" I said.

"No, but I've kind of been saving money, so I could get us something. You know just temporary until anything happens." He said. I smiled and looked over at him. I kissed his cheek repeatedly. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. The rest of the way was silent. I knew sooner or later I would have to call my dad, but maybe right now was the best time.

"Alex I'm going to call, like right now. I can't let this go. I need to give him and answer too." I said breaking the silence. He looked over at me with a straight face. It made me a little mad, but I decided on not saying anything. I got my phone and dialed his number. It rung 3 times before there was an answer.

Dad- "hey princess I'm glad you called" he said then coughed hard.

Me-"yeah I called because first I'm very pissed off that you nor mom decided to show up to my graduation. It was the only chance I had and it's gone now. None of my family was there. The only people I can call family are Alex, his family, and my friends. I'm not okay with it at all." I said.

Dad-"I'm sorry we didn't make it-"

Me-"Sorry is what you say when you've want to be forgiven, but I'm not accepting apologies anymore. I'm done with you and her." I said. I was ready to hang up, but he said something under his breath.

Dad-"Myra I need you to take the company for me. Please that is all I ask. I know I haven't been the best dad in the world and I can apologize for that. I had time for you. I just didn't want to come home to your mother anymore. I was tired of her. I stayed at work so I wouldn't have to go home and deal with all the pain anymore. You had a rough time with her and I understand that, and I should have said something. I want you to know that no matter what I will always love you. Your not a mistake. Your a miracle. You have potential to do anything you want to do. I wanted to be there for you today, but I couldn't because I'm in the hospital. I've gotten sick and I'm not going to get better. I'm leaving everything to you. I don't care if your mother says anything different. Everything has been left to you. Don't come and see me. It's just going to break my heart even more. You are my daughter and I love you. Please just take the company for me." He said. I had tears rolling down my face. I had never heard him talk like this before. I had to go see him and at least give him a hug goodbye. I looked over at Alex and he was looking out of his window. I know he was sad because my dad really liked him.

"I will." I said lowly. I heard a loud beep and I completely broke down. The phone fell out my hand and the car stopped. I looked up and saw we were in Alex's mom driveway. He got out the car and came and opened my door. I cried onto his chest and he hugged me.

"Come inside." His mom said. I opened my eyes and she was right behind us with her arms open. I ran to her and hugged her. She pushed my head down onto her shoulder. I finally felt like I had a mother that loved me.

"Myra, calm down just come inside and sit down." Alex said. I obeyed and we walked inside. I knew my face was red. I touched it and it was hot. I walked in and sat down on the couch. I stared at the table. Alex came in front of me and knelt down. He grabbed my hands and looked me in the eye.

"I-i" was all I could say.

"It's okay. I'm here for you. Ill handle everything for you." He said smiling. More tears came down my face. I saw him tear up a little. He got up and left. He came back with a tissue box and put his hands out. He led us upstairs and to his room.

"Myra if you need anything I'll get it for you." Josh said. I hugged him tight and cried.

"Thank you." I said. He smiled and walked off.

"You want some food?" Alex said. I shook my head. I sat down on his bed and took off my shoes. He saw what I doing and came to help me. He put them up and closed the door. I sat there and stared into my lap. "Wait your telling me that you don't want any food. Now that's how I know there's more going on." I looked up and saw him smirking. I smiled a little and tried to move back in the bed.

"I don't want anything." I said. He frowned a little.

"I can't accept that. You're really hurt." I nodded and looked down again. "Your everything to me. I know I can't do really do anything about it, but if you need me here I got you. Your my baby, and I'm always going to be here for you." I looked up and he was taking off his shoes. He go into his bed with me and pulled me down with him. I laid my head on his chest and closed my eyes. I started crying again and couldn't stop. Alex's phone started ringing in his pocket. I sat up and he got his phone. I looked back at him and he looked at me. He looked at his phone and put it down on his dresser.
