~ CHAPTER 22~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Say wake up Aunty," I say to Scarlett and I have her little hand repeatedly hit Scarlett and she rolls over and groans looking at me

"Say good morning" I reply and she opens her eyes "Happy Graduation day," I say and she smiles

Today is Scarlett's graduation day. All of her hard work has finally paid off. I am so proud of her and her complete commitment to high school, especially after she supported me with Violet.

"Thank you, Miss Violet," she says

"Congratulations bestie, I am so proud of you" I reply and she smiles at me

"I couldn't have done it without you," she says

"No, Scar. I couldn't have done it without you" I reply and she laughs.

It's 7 am. Her graduation ceremony is at 12, so we have time to eat, get ready, take pictures and get to the ceremony. We get out of the bed and quickly tidy the room. No matter how hard we try we can never keep this room clean. We then make our way down the stairs to get something to eat.

I make us something to eat and Scarlett makes us some coffee. I place Violet in her baby bouncer and put it on the bench so we can eat arms free. Whilst I am waiting I decided to check my emails on my phone to see if I had anything important from work

"Oh my God," I say and I almost drop my phone in my bowl of cereal

"What," Scarlett says handing me a mug full of steaming coffee

"Thank you" I mutter staring at my phone

"What is going on" she replies to me and I hand my phone to my face

"What is it" she replies

"My exam scores- we'll not the scores, the email" I reply and she gasps to

"Open it," she says

"NO I can't," I say and we both stare at my phone and I feel butterflies erupt in my stomach. I am so nervous right now. This was my first semester in college, and I completed it pregnant and with a baby.

I don't have high hopes, but I have worked my ass off to maintain straight A's. I had them throughout all of high school and I really do not want to drop below this. I know that I have a baby and like my family tells me, that I should not be upset and beat myself up if I don't get what I want.

But I want the best life for us, and I will do anything to get this. I want to be a lawyer like Jane and Julian and I will not stop until I get there.

"Open it," she says and I shake my head. She grabs my phone and opens my email

"Hey, what are you doing?" I say rushed

"Opening the freaking email" she replies and I sigh, it's better that she does. I watch her open it and I see her face change.

"Oh no, I did bad, shit," I say and I feel my heart drop and then she looks up at me and her face turns into the biggest grin

"OH MY GOD T! ALL A'S," I say and I look at her in shock, and I grab my phone and the email reads all A's next to every single one of my classes.

"HOLY FUCK" I say and we get up and start jumping. We look at Violet who is in her baby jumper and we both grab her hands and cheer

"What is going on?" Grayson says stumbling into the kitchen

"I got all A's," I say to him and he cheers and we all do a happy dance. I cannot believe this, this is seriously amazing. After we tell all of my family we make it back up to get ready. We both shower and do our makeup.
