Journey's POV

3 Months Later , Graduation Day .

I Wake Up With A Huge Smile Spreading Across My Face . The Thought That Today Is The Last Day I Ever Have To Go Back To That School , Made Me So Happy . Sitting In My Bed Thinking And Reminiscing About All My High School Years When My Phone Rang .

It Was Courtney , So Slide The Answer Button .

Me : Hello ?!

Courtney : Bitch , Today Is Graduation ! Turn The Fuck Up !

Me : Yes I Know Girl ! What We Finna Do Tonight ?!

Courtney : I Dont Even Know Foreal , But Just Know We Finna Turn The Fuck Up Though .

Me : Yes Girl ! Well I Gotta Get Dressed I'll See You At Graduation .

Courtney : Ard Boo .

I Hung Up And Jumped In The Shower . I Got Out Went Straight To The Closet And Got Dressed . I Put On A White Tight Fitted Dressed With Some Powder Blue Heels . I Straighten My Hair In A Middle Part Then Put On My Cap And Gown On Top . I Stared At Myself In The Mirror , Think About How This Day Has Actually Come . Im So Proud Of Myself For Making It This Far . I Looked At My Self One Last Time Before I Walked Downstairs .

Waiting For Me Downstairs Was My Grandma , My Sister And Diamond's Mom Standing There All In Tears . Honestly , I Dont Know Why She Is Even Here , I Didnt Invite Her .

"Baby Come Here , And Give Me A Hug ." , My Grandma Said In Between Her Tears .

All I Did Is Smile While Hugging Her , I Feel Like She Really Proud Of Me Because Im The First One In The Family To Graduate . 

Before She Let Me Go She Whispered In My Ear , "Your Father Would Be So Proud Right Now "

It Made Me Shed A Few Tears , Hearing Her Say That .

She Let Me Go And Diamond Hugged Me Next .

"Im So Proud Of You Big Sister ." , She Said , Smiling .

"Ard , Now Dime Let Go You Crushing My Nieces ." , I Said , Laughing And Crying . 

She Let Me Go And Diamond's Mom Stands There Staring At Me Crying Holding Out A Gift  , " I Know This May Not Mean Anything To You , But Im Really Proud of You Journey ."

She Handed Me The Bag , And I Took It With Hesitation .

"Thanks ." , I Said ,Walking Passed Her To Go Outside To The Car .

"Y'all We Should Go Take A Trip Now That We Graduated !" , I Said , Propping Myself Up On August Chest .

"Hell Yea ! Where We Finna Go ?" , Diamond Added , Dipping Her Pickle In Honey .

Everyone Looked , " Who Is We ? You Didnt Graduate , We Did . " , Courtney Joked .

" And Plus Your To Far Along To Be Traveling ." , Tyga Added , Rubbing Her Tummy .

"See , I Can Go ." ,  She Said , Looking At Tyga .

"We All Are Going ." , I Added .

"So When We Leaving ?" , Aug Asked .

" Shit , We Can Leave Right Now !" , Courtney And Trey Said In Unison .

" Let's Get Packing Then , Yall Go Pack And Come Back . We Can Leave Tonight ." , I Said , Getting Up To Go Pack .

Everyone Left Except August , He Was Already Packed Because He Was Already Gonna Spend A Few Nights Here Anyway .

I Was Grabbing Body Washes , And Shampoos When I Noticed The Bag My Mom Gave Me Earlier . I Grabbed The Bag And Sat Down At The Bottom The Bed While Opening It . In The Bag Was A Picture In A Picture Frame And A Note . The Picture Was Me And Mom When I Was Little Having A Tea Party . I Stared At The Picture Thinking Back To It .

"What' s That Baby ?" , August Asked , Putting His Head On My Shoulder .

" A Picture Of Me And Mom , When I Was Young . "

He Seen The Note And Picked It Up , "You Gonna Read It ?"

"You Read It ." , I Said , Still Looking At The Picture .

He Opened It Up ,

Dear Journey ,

                                        Love ,
                                                   Mom .

I Couldn't Speak All I Could Do Is Stare At The Floor . I Just Dont Know How To Process All Of This . All August Could Is Pull Me Into A Hug .  I Just Dont Know .
