Nicki had her family and friends over for her small graduation party. Drake and his family members were there too. Drake, Kat and Nicki stood in a group with their friends and talked about things.

"Nicki your cake looks so nice" Candice says.

"You're just saying that now so that I know you want a piece" she says making some of their friends laugh. "But thanks."

"Bro I wanted to go to a strip club so bad last night" Wayne says.

"We can go" Nicki says as everyone looks at her.

"Don't play Nic cause I will get us all out this house" Wayne says making her laugh.

"Later we can" she says. Nicki's mom then starts passing out cake and Candice is one of the first to get her a piece.

"Nika come here" Nicki's mom calls. She walks out to the backyard where they could stand alone and talk.

"What's up mama?"

"I'm so proud of you. I wanted to give you this" she says handing her a small bag.

"What's this?" Nicki asks taking it. There was a debit card and ring box.

"It's your savings card. I saved up $25,000 for you. Caiah has one too but that's for him to get next year." She says. Nicki bites down on her lip and looks at her mom.

"The secret account daddy was mad about?" She asks. Her mom nods.

"I'd do anything for you Nika" she says hugging her. Nicki hugs her back tightly with tears falling from her eyes.

"Thank you mama" she says.

"And that's your great great grandmothers ring. She wanted you to have it" she says. Nicki admires the ring.

"Why are you giving me all this now?"

"You did what we wanted you to do. Go to school and get your diploma. I know you have big dreams for your career and we believe in you" she says. Nicki smiles big as her mom wipes her tears away.

"I'll make you proud. Again." Nicki says as they both laugh. "I want you to keep this though. I won't need it right away" she says.

"I'll keep it with me as long as you want" she says. They then join everyone again and enjoy the party and company. Everyone was signing Nicki's frame and setting out graduation gifts for her.

"Ma we wanted to go out, can we leave now?" Nicki asks.

"I don't mind. Everyone will be leaving her pretty soon. Just makes sure you say bye to everyone." She says.

"Okay" Nicki says starting to go around the house to people.

Once she was done she and Drake meet up outside and she gets into the passenger side of his car.

"Got everything you need?" He asks her.

"Yeah" she says. They meet up witch their friends at a strip club a few miles away.

"If you get uncomfortable tell me" Drake says in her ear. But Nicki was enjoying herself and she got to talk to a few strippers.

Leaving from the club later that night Nicki and Drake sit in his car talking.

"I can't wait for college" Nicki says.

"I can't wait to start in the industry. After doing that season of the show I got all types of deals" Drake says.

"Drake can we promise each other that we won't let this industry change us?" Nicki asks holding out her pinky.

"You still do that pinky promise?" He asks laughing. Nicki just has a blank face. "Okay. I promise" he says locking his pinky finger with hers. She smiles and they share a kiss.
