Erin Kimora delagardo
"Erin delagardo" the lady said in the mic as I walked up
I shook the principal's hand & smiled the for the picture
I heard the crowd going crazy mostly them niggas amoura & Gk & them
I grabbed my diploma & walked down the stage
This is something so big for me I never saw myself walking across this big ass stage
Nobody saw this moment for me honestly except amoura
I sat in my chair
"Erin" the guy infront of me turned & said
"Max?" I asked him
"Lemme get your ig?"
"Gimmie yo phone" i said to him
He handed me his phone I grabbed it & typed my ig in
"Ight here you go" i said handing him his phone
He smiled & grabbed it
Indya came & sat in the open chair next to me
"We did it" she said smiling & hugging me
I hugged her back "we diddd"
"Um I saw this lady she looked just like you but darkskin she was hella pretty she reminded me of you" she said
I looked at her "that's my mom girl"
Her eyes widened "oh my gosh Erin y'all look exactly like I was wondering that because she hugged amoura & her parents"
I chuckled "yeah girl"
I followed max back
"You okay tho?" She asked me
I nodded my head yeah
"You sure?"
I nodded my head again "I'm good Indy"
20 minutes later...
As I walked up to my family they started blowing horns & shooting confetti
Blu had a speaker playing music
Amoura ran up to me
"You did it I told you" she said rocking me back & forth
I hugged her back & closed my eyes
"I know" I said lowly
She pulled away & looked at me
"I love you the most"
"Vice Versa" I told her
"Move Nigga Damn" Gk said to her
"Congrats baby sis" he said handing me a stack of money
My dad snatched it out my hand & gave it back to him shaking his head
I laughed as Gk stood there mugging him
"I'm so proud of you baby girl" my dad said hugging me
I hugged him back
I couldn't really say shit
Them nights he pushed me to do my homework the mornings him & Amy forced me out the bed to go to school
The days amoura forced me to go school
It all payed off because I'm not going to lie I was bout scared as a bitch I wasn't going to graduate
Because my parents never did & I never went to school
I thank him for coming in my life & getting me right because if he didn't I wouldn't have walked that stage at all
He let go of me
"Aye big grad in this bitch you already know what the fuck is going on Niggas" ji & blu yelled at the same time hyped as fuck
"Ayeee" i said getting hyped with their asses because why not?
"Ayeee I'm so happy for you" des said walking up to us with hella lai's in her hand & flowers
Her mom Brooklyn, their grandma, kacey & lil meechie was behind her
Tae ain't come? He's weird as fuck but oh well I guess
I smiled "dessy"
"Hi baby sis" she said putting the lai's around my neck
"Thank you"
"Wait I have some too" my mom & dad said at the same time
My dad pulled out money lai's & put them around my neck too
My mom handed me a mix of money lei's & candy
She hugged me "I love you baby you did it"
I just hugged her back
I felt really uncomfortable
I let go from the hug
"I'm happy you could make it" I said to her smiling
"This is my husband Jack " she said pointing to a tall white man in a suit
He smiled "how are you congratulations"
I smiled back "im good thank you so much thank you for coming to support me"
"No problem step daughter" he said smiling
I smiled a little
Amoura's parents came up to me
"Big grad yeah" her dad said
I smiled
"Let's take some pics please" her mom said
I started taking pictures with everyone
I started taking pics with Brooklyn & des
"There he is" Brooklyn said
"Who is he with?" Des said under her breath
I turned to where they were staring
Blu & them was mugging him
It was this girl named Carmen with him
I fought Carmen my junior year
I told her it was on sight when I saw her after we fought & never seen her ass
I stopped taking pictures
"I'm ready to go now" i said moving away from Brooklyn & des
They looked at me then back at Tae.
"Okay I got my pics so we good" my dad said
My family started laughing
Amoura came up to me
"Don't do it erin it's yo graduation day ight ignore it" she whispered to me
I looked at her
"Why would be even come if he was gonna bring a bitch" I said to her
Des walked up to us
"What's wrong"
"Yo dumbass brother what the fuck" amoura said looking over at Tae & Carmen
"Tell em to leave or ima just beat that bitches ass" I said out loud
Des looked over at Carmen
"Oh shit" she said walking over to them
"I can't stand him he's so fucking messy I hate that nigga" I said to amoura
"Calm down" she said to me
"Come on boo so we can go back to the house for the BBQ" my dad said to me looking over at blu & them like he was so disgusted
"Ight amoura tell 'em we leaving & going to my house for this Barbecue if they wanna come they can" I said grabbing my dads hand
She nodded her head

"Yeah y'all can come ima have boog send y'all the addy" my dad said
"That's what the kids call it now Addy" he asked me
I looked at him "no daddy no"

Brooklyn stopped us
"Y'all leaving?" She asked
"Yeah going back to my house for the barbecue my dad is throwing me y'all are welcomed to come " i said to her
She nodded her head & looked up at my dad
Her eyes widened a little
"Uhm okay des know the Lo?" She asked me
"Yes" I said starting to walk away
"What's up with shordy ?" I asked my dad
He was frowning "ion know boog"
That night....
I sat at the table outside by myself as everyone was sitting around talking to each other
I looked at my designed nails
I think I want orange next or maybe like a sage green?
Mhm that would fucking eat
Yeah I'll eat these hoes up with a sage green & a fire ass design
Somebody sat next to me
I looked over & it was Tae
I turned my head back to where I was staring at
"I'm surprised you came brother" i said to him
"Don't call me that"
"Ight" I said starting to get up
He grabbed my hand & pulled me back
"Nigga I'm tryn to talk to you get out yo fucking feelings erin fuck is you doin you can't be no P in yo feelings Nigga" he said to me
"I'm not talking about anything out here if it's about us" I said to him
"Where you wanna talk then?"
"Your car"
So he can leave because ion want his ass here period.
"Ight"
He got up
LMy pops moved into a bigger house from when him & Amy broke upolp
I looked around everyone was having a good time
We walked through the backyard to the driveway
I followed him as he walked down the driveway & to the street parking
He unlocked his doors
I stood there
"Actually we can talk right here" i said standing in my dads yard still
"Really?"
"Yes Nigga what's tea?"
He smacked his lips closing his door
"Why you acting like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like you don't fuck with a nigga or something"
"Mm" i said staring at the cars pulling up
"You don't fuck with me no more?" He asked me grinning a little
I mugged him & rolled my eyes
"You're too pretty to be mugging fix yo face" he said
"We ain't talking about shit Tae"
"Ion even be sayin this shit this some square ass shit but you're mines"
My face softened up
I crossed my arms
"I'm yours Nigga bye" I said laughing
"Yeah Nigga" he said
"That's not how you ask someone to be your girl"
He mugged me "I'm not askin I'm tellin"
"You're not telling me shit you better ask me"
He looked around
"I'll wait "
"Be my shordy?"
"No" i said turning around
He grabbed my arm

"Yes"
"Yeah Nigga I was bout to beat yo ass"
"You need to stop tryn to put yo hands on girls" i said to him
"Girl ion be putting my hands on females"
"You do" I said as I grabbed his hand
"Come on" I added on going back to the backyard
"Where you go?" Amoura asked me
"Went to talk to Tae" i said
"Mm come on yo mom looking for you" she said
I nodded my head & let go of Tae's hand as I walked to my mom & dad
"The graduate" my mom said smiling
She looks so happy
So full of life
Never in my 18 years have I ever seen her like this
"Hey hey" I said
"Jack" she said smiling & looking at me
"Oh yeah me & your mom got you this" he said pulling an envelope out his pocket & handing it to me
I grabbed it & opened it up
It was like three stacks in the envelope of money
My eyes widened
"Y'all didn't have to do this" i said laughing a little bit
"You only seen the money pooh?" She asked me
"That's all that's in there" i said
"No there's a key" Jack said to me
I frowned & digged in the bottom of the envelope
I felt the key & looked at it
"Surprise" my mom yelled
"What is it?"
"Me & Jack got you a condo" she said smiling
My dad choked on his drink
I frowned a little
Why would they do this? I wanna work for this type of shit on my own
"Umm..." I started to say but my dad cut me off
"Savi how is she going to pay the bills ? The furniture the food? & gas?" My dad asked her
"We got the bills covered we'll be paying all she gotta worry about is food & gas & the money for furniture is in the envelope" she said
"Ion think she can accept this" my dad said grabbing the stuff out my hand & giving it back to Jack
I gave Jack a faint smile
This is too much
"What you do for a living boss?"
"I'm a lawyer & have three different firms" Jack said
My eyes widened she bagged her a rich nigga
"What do you do for a living" he asked my dad looking around the backyard
"I'm a nurse" my dad said
"Oh this house is beautiful" Jack said
"Thanks"
"Well if you can't take the condo take the money" my mom said
"She can take that but the condo it's a little too soon" my dad said
Jack grabbed the key & handed me the envelope
"Go put it in your room mama" my dad said to me
"Ight"
I walked back inside the house & saw my dad's girlfriend nia sitting in the kitchen with her head down
I frowned because girl what is you doing
I walked up the stairs & to my room
I put the envelope in my drawer where all my weed is
I changed out my dress & put on some dark grey Nike sweats & plain white crop top
I slipped on my Boston soft Birkenstocks
I walked out my room to rondo in the hallway looking confused
He saw me & a smile appeared on his face
"Wussup girl congratulations I'm sorry I couldn't make the ceremony shit I had to pick Roman up from the hospital" he said hugging me
"You're good she here?"
"Yeah you know my shordy is here" he said smiling
"Shordy? That's all you now?"
He rubbed his hands together "she been all me"
I laughed "what was you looking for?"
"Bathroom"
"There's one downstairs come one lemme show you"
"Yo pops moved" he asked me as we walked down the stairs
"Yeah about two three weeks ago"
"You still stay with him?"
"Mhm" i said pointing to the restroom
"Perciate you ma"
I smiled
I walked out the house to the backyard & walked up to Brooklyn
"Thank you for showing up & supporting me I really appreciate it" i said lowly to her because she looked sad
"Of course" she said hugging me
"You doing okay?"
"Yeah baby I'm doing fine you?"
"I'm okay" I said looking over at blu & them
Kacey you could tell she was drunk her & des
"Have you met my mom yet?"
"No not yet I think I seen her around though pretty darkskin lady right?"
I smiled "yeah"
I looked around for her but couldn't find her nowhere
"When I find her I'll bring her over so y'all can meet" I said
"Okay go kick it with yo friends girl" she said pointing at all of them getting lit
I mean LIT
I walked over there
Amoura grabbed my arm & pulled me to the corner that had the shots
She handed me one
She held hers up
"CHEERS TO MY BABY GRADUATING YOU DID IT BOO YOU DID IT FOR ALL OF US CAUSE WE AINT GRADUATE" she yelled
"I did Nigga chill with allat" rondo said
"On god" ji said
