JAMAYA POV🩷:
Today was my graduation day from college. Regardless of having two kids I finished Sunset College as an A+ student, I kept up my grades and did above and beyond for my school to get my degree.

My mom came over to get the kids and got ready to drive to the stadium. I left an hour early to be placed in the same position I did at rehearsal a week ago.

Our graduating colors were Orange, Red, Black, and Yellow. They were beautiful and the colors of the sunset except black. We got to design our graduation caps and my cap consisted of my two kids with a whole bunch of diamonds. It was cool and I was cute.

The camera producers were there at the stadium stage preparing to record our graduation and put it on TV.

MEME POV 💗:
As I was driving to my daughter's graduation all I could think about was a moment we had when Mya was two. She had on a doctor's outfit with a stethoscope around her neck. She was so bright and knew what she wanted to be in life, but she was an even better writer.

When we finally got there I noticed I already had tears rolling down my face. I hurried up and whipped them off my face and went to get the multi-baby stroller from the back of my car.

I put them both in the stroller and found a seat in the stadium. Eventually, Amira joined me. Her little girl was as adorable as ever. I never really spent time with my niece, and I never really was sure if her mother Leslie ever told Amira about me.

When Leslie and I were in high school, she made my life a living hell. She had a horrible reputation at school. They called her "easy", which was probably true. I never really believed the rumors, especially the one where she supposedly slept with her teacher Mr.Evans.

If you asked me now if they were true, I'd probably say hell yeah ever since Maya told me Leslie slept with her baby's father. I was disgusted and disappointed for her and sad at the fact that she'll never get to know her mother because her mother decided to ruin it by sleeping with Zayne.

I honestly didn't understand what Leslie or Jamaya saw in Zayne. Every time he was around me I always got a fruity vibe from him. Being around him when he was with my daughter felt unsafe because of his vibe and everything concerning him for that matter. I honestly had a deep feeling that he also killed that boy who was on the news.

I just pray my daughter doesn't ever get back with him.

An hour later they were finally calling people names to graduate.

Sarah Stage, Emily Grams, Monica Ferral, Denice Fleming, Khalil Ford, Gram Hudson... Jamaya Vegas

When they called my daughter's name I yelled as loud as I could. Celebrating the fact she graduated twice. After she got her diploma and the ceremony ended we all went out to eat red lobster.

We had a good time eating together and catching up on things. We ended the night with smiles and I gave Jamaya the trust fund her father left for her when she got where she wanted in life.

I was happy to do that for him, although I wish he was there to see his daughter graduate.

AMIRA POV💜:
Before I headed to JaMaya's graduation, I went to visit Alex at his tombstone. I talked to him for a while and told him how big his daughter was getting. I knew he could hear me because I could always feel his presence and Lethie would start to smile.

It was adorable and put tears in my eyes. I missed him so much. Twelve seem like they weren't doing shit to find Alex's killer, which meant the killer was still out there.

It was good to leave the city and streets behind, especially for my daughter. I wanted to give her the best life I ever had and hope to god she wasn't anything like me.

I know In the beginning I was jealous of Jamaya because she had gotten the life I always wanted from Zayne, but I guess the way it turned out was my karma coming through. Jamaya overall didn't deserve the shit Zay put her through. She deserved better which is why I wanted to help her go through her divorce.

KAIRO POV🖤:
Life was good, I just wondered how Jamaya was doing. I know I fumbled her but if I hadn't I wouldn't have met the love of my life. I saw my niece and Jamaya on social media, they were adorable.

For one second imagined that little girl and her little boy were my kids. I wondered what it would be like for us if we were to stay together.

Without a doubt, I knew I would always and forever be in love with Jamaya Monet Vegas.
