I stood looking in the mirror at the black tuxedo I had on .
I tied my tie around my neck and just stared at myself until I was rushed downstairs .
I seen all of my family sitting in my living room , talking amongst each other .
Mom - he's ready , come on she said nonchalantly and got up with everyone following .
I walked out of the house and the black limo was waiting on me .
Devan and James moms rushed up to me , hugging me with them both behind her .
Devan mom - come on ! Take some pictures !
We took some pictures before me , devan and James got into the limo and it drove off .
Riding in a limo isn't something new for me .
I ride in one all of the time .
I looked down at my phone , texting Aaliyah . She wasn't replying but I seen she was reading my messages .
Devan - where's Aaliyah ? He asked and I looked up . He stared intensely at me
Me -Devan do not worry about my girlfriend location I said sliding my phone into my pocket and leaning back .
Deja told me that Aaliyah and her were on their way to the graduation ceremony .
I can't believe I did it .
My family all crowded around me Devan and James , smothering us .
I broke from them when I seen Aaliyah . She looked so pretty just standing by herself .
I walked up to her and she looked up .
I smiled at my baby . She was wearing some makeup .
Liyah - I'm so proud of you Travis she told me and I smiled hugging her tightly .
Me - I'm proud of you too baby , for being so strong I told her truthfully . I know my baby is hurting .
Liyah - thank you she told me snuggling into the hug more .
I looked up to my brother coming up to us . He told me mom wanted me .
I looked at Aaliyah , not wanting to leave her . I know she's here with no family , only Deja's .
Liyah - it's okay Travis . Go
Me - you sure ?
She nodded and gave me a faint smile before I left .
Everyone besides my momma was so happy for me . They all were happy I was accepted into Harvard , everyone besides my mother .
Nothing new .
When my name was called screaming rang throughout the building . My sister and her friends was screaming .
My family smiled and took pictures of me . My mom just sat there with her legs closed and a straight face just looking at me .
I know she's not impressed with me . My dad is tho .
I received my diploma and sat back down .
When deja name got called I could not do anything besides shake my head and clap as she stuck her tongue out .
Deja - bitchhhhhhh I did it ! She yelled
That's embarrassing .
She's just so ghetto .
I looked at Aaliyah who was laughing .
When my baby name got called I smiled clapping my hands .
I didn't cause a scene or anything because that would draw attention to my family .
They would make a scene , even knowing I'm clapping for this black girl .
I watched as she walked up and received her diploma .
Tears fell from her eyes as she shook the principals hand .
Deja - THATS MY MUHFUCKIN GIRLFRIEND ! I LOVE YOU ! I heard Deja loud mouth ass yell .
I scrunched my face up as I glared at her
Aaliyah is my girlfriend . She need to stop trying to take my girlfriend .
I blew Aaliyah a kiss and she smiled at me , sitting back down .
She looked uncomfortable and impatient as she shook her leg up and down .
She looked worried like she was ready to go . I know she's worried about momma .
I watched as she slicked looked at her phone before quickly pulling it out
Aaliyah - hello ? She said which made everyone in the building look at her .
That's rude of her to answer her phone right now . She's interrupting people's ceremony but I know Aaliyah wouldn't answer it if it wasn't important .
Next thing I know , she stood up and ran down the stage . Everyone watched her and I stood up .
Something's wrong .
I watched my family look at me then her and I sat back down .
My mom shook her head .
I can't run after her .
Deja - Liyah wait ! She yelled what wrong ?
Liyah - my momma ! She cried . Tears soaked her face as she ran out of the building .
I wiped my face as I grew worried . I can't run after her but I felt better knowing Deja was right behind her .
The ceremony got finished up and everyone threw their hats in the air .
My family ran to me , hugging me .
Dad - I'm proud of you Travis
Me - thanks dad I said
My head was gone thinking about Liyah .
Mom - Travis
Me - yes ? I looked up at her , hoping she was going to congratulate me . She didn't . She asked if I knew Aaliyah .
Mom - do you know that rude black girl ?
I shook my head no
Me - no mom .
She nodded
mom - ok . Good . She smoothed her dress lets go .
Me - I have to leave
Mom - what ?
Me - I'll catch up later mom I kissed her cheek , handed her my gown and walked out .
I got in the limo and had it take me to the hospital . I need to be with my girlfriend .
I know she might be mad I didn't chase after her and I'll understand if she is .
I should have chased after her .
When I walked into the hospital I knew I came to late .
She was hugged on the floor , crying with Deja .
Me - baby she looked up at me with red eyes
Liyah - Travis she's gone
Tears fell from my eyes and I sniffled , pulling her into my embrace .
Liyah - she's gone Travis . My mom's gone was all she said over and over as she cried on me .
I've never felt so broken in my life .
Seeing Aaliyah like this just broke me .
