May 15th Graduation Day
7amGraduation day. The day that i have been waiting for since i seen Izzy do it so long ago. I rush to get ready for the day. I have Shayla coming to do my makeup in an hour and i have to be at the school by 9
After i shower and step out the shower there was already a knock at my door I opened the door and Shayla busted in
" My bestie is graduating todayyyyyy" She cheered
"Ayyyeeee" i yelled dancing
"Alright now before you drop that towel" She laughed. As soon as she is done she has to go straight to the hospital, her sister is getting induced this morning and she promised to be there for her
We laughed and joked until she was done and i quickly got dressed
"Omgg my baby looks so goood" she screamed recording me on her phone
"Ok come on before you're late hunny. Have you talked to anyone else?" She asked getting ready to walk out the door
"Nope.they are probably are just getting ready" they wouldn't miss this
We got in the car and rushed to the stadium
She hug me again and I walked in and waited for it to start
I'm not writing no long ass graduation scene but here is her speech"I promised myself as a little girl that if I ever had to make a speech I would be 100% honest with everyone. graduating from this school was the hardest goal ever when u have people expecting u to fail. My parents left me to be raised by my grandmother who just dumped me onto my brother who wasn't even old enough to care for himself. So if we are being honest i was supposed to lose before I even made it to the starting line. But my brother alongside his girlfriend made sure that didn't happen. They managed to care and raise me to become the woman i stand before you today. So normal speeches they would say thank you mom and dad but thank you Izzy and Nique. For believing in me and showing me the way the best way y'all knew how. For putting me before your own wants and needs. For being there to pick me up from every fall and i am very clumsy so there was a lot. For whiping the tears that always seems to fall and for believing in me. My advice to you is in a world full of people that will give up on you, be your own Izzy and Nique. Don't give up on yourself. Life has its ups and down. It throws curveballs and roadblocks at every turn but do the unexpected and succeed. The school board might not like this and I'm sorry to my elders but graduates ill be damned if this is the end for any of us. I see teachers, business men/woman, and many other careers in this crowd and we deserve to be right here right now ."
Everyone cheered and graduation went on
It was finally over and everyone was meeting up with their families and celebrating.
They didn't come. After a while I finally accepted that they weren't here I walked to the entrance and called me an Uber
"Congratulations lil mama" a voice said from behind me said. When I turned around and there was Shakur standing there with a congrats balloon and some flowers
"What are you doing here Glock?" I haven't seen him about a week and half ago since he's been outta town for a trip
"Regardless I was coming to this mf for you and tf you keep calling me Glock for? Don't do that no more"
"Well thank you for coming and for the flowers" i gave him a small smile as the tears started to well in my eyes. He's only known me for a very short time but he made sure to show up for me today. Izzy has known me my whole life and i feel like this is a day that he wouldn't miss. I dedicated my whole speech to him and he didn't even bother to show up to listen to it
"Please don't cry, Lay! Let's go eat or something whatever you want.?" He said wrapping his arms around me .He let me go and held my hand as he guided me to his car. He opened the door for me and I got in the car
We went to juicy crab to eat and it was amazing but Shakur is so embarrassing but in a funny way
He told every table that I graduated today and made them congratulate me and Every Time the waiter came he made him address me as graduate
"Thank you Glock, that food was bomb " he stopped at the red light and mugged
"Keep playing My'Laysia " I busted out laughing at him
"Shakur it is not that deep don't make that face" I laughed hitting his arm
"Yea whatever. I'm ready for a nap, you wanna go to your place or mine?" He asked putting his hand in mine as he drove
"Yours" he nodded and drove as we sat in a comfortable silence. After about 30 mins we pulled up to a nice house in the suburbs
He opened the garage and pulled in. But his garage is like something I've never seen. He had an underground garage with 5 other cars down there"Come on" We got out the car and he guided me to a door he unlocked and we walked up some stairs.
"Down there is also an extra room and my office. This is the kitchen....." he explained giving me a tour of his house
It was a four bedroom house not including what he added downstairs.
I got some clothes from him and took a shower
"Damn, do I got any hot water left?" He joked
I laughed and put my clothes on his dresser and headed back to the Living Room
I laid on the couch and turned on young Sheldon
"Aye why you come down here" Shakur asked stepping down the stairs in basketball shorts and black socks
"To watch tv" I shrugged giving the tv my undivided attention
"Mannnnn" he turned the tv off and picked me up and carried me to his room.
We laid on the bed "That's better. Now put onthat lil weird nigga on the tv" He said passing me the remote
"Your earky" i laugh and get up to turn the light off
I got back in the bed next to him and he laid on my stomach while i ran my hands through his small Afro until we both fell asleep watching sheldon
