Chapter 15: Part I
Amaya:
December 3rd:
I sat up from my bed and stared at the clock on my wall.
"Mommy? Are you awake now?" Cameron said starring at me from the other side of my bed.
"Yes baby, I'm awake..Good morning." I said kissing his cheek.
"Good morning."
I stood from the bed and turned the TV on for Cameron as I went to shower.
"Stay and watch TV until I'm finished Cam."
He smiled and nodded.
I walked to the bathroom and got myself together. Today was my graduation and I'm super excited because I can finally take over my dad's company here in LA.
Once I finished I walked out to see Cameron wasn't where I left him. I sighed and walked to the living room where he was sitting with my father watching ESPN.
"Good morning daddy."
"Morning Amaya...You excited for later?"
"Yep." I said walking into the kitchen where my mom was making breakfast.
"Hey mama." I kissed her cheek and sat at the bar.
"Hey Amaya."
"Where's Mel? Still sleep?"
"Yeah she should be up soon though."
I nodded. My parents as well as Melanie came to LA for my graduation. They were going to be staying with me until the Monday.
I couldn't wait for later tonight because Javaughn was finally going to meet my parents. We had recently became official a few months ago. My parents were paying for a big graduation dinner and of course I invited him as well as Corahn and Chrishelle.
I continued talking with my mom before Melanie walked from her old room.
"Good morning guys."
We all said good morning as she walked in to the kitchen.
"Okay breakfast is ready." My mom said as we gathered around the table fixing our plates. This moment reminded me much of how it was when Melanie and I were younger back in Atlanta.
Once I finished my breakfast I went back to my room to get dressed because I had to be at the graduation in an hour.
"Alright I'll see y'all later." I said walking out of my bedroom.
"Aw Amaya." My mom said touching my loose curls.
"Andrea calm down she's grown." My dad laughed fixing his tie in the mirror.
I laughed. "We'll be there soon Maya." Melanie said.
"Okay. Bye Cammie." I said kissing Cameron's cheek and walking out to my car.
Once I got in my car my phone started to ring.

Javaughn:
"Hey baby." She answered.
"What's up babe?"
"I'm on my way to the staples center."
"Oh alright I'm picking up Corahn now, we'll be there soon."
She laughed.
"What?"
"Nothing...I just hope its not chaotic at the dinner with Mel and Corahn."
"Oh yeah since they haven't seen each other...She knows he's gonna be there right? Or is this some sneaky stuff you planned?" I laughed.
"No she knows. I just don't want unexpected drama, she said she's fine with him being there... they need to talk anyway."
"Mhm. I'm excited to meet your parents tonight though."
"Yeah me too." she chuckled.
"Do they know imma be there or..."
"Mhm it's a surprise."
"Oh lord Amaya..." I said. We talked a little longer before we hung up.
"Hey baby." She answered.
"What's up babe?"
"I'm on my way to the staples center."

Corahn:
"Yo I'm outside hurry up." Javaughn said on the other line.
"Alright man I'm coming."
I hung up and locked my front door.
This little graduation was definitely gonna be interesting seeing as Melanie would be here and I haven't seen her in a month or so.
"What's up man?" Javaughn said dapping my hand as I got into the car.
"Nothing much."
He nodded and turned the music up and jumping on the express way.
"You know Mel gon be here."
"Yeah bro I figured, they're sisters." I said sarcastically.
"Mhm. Just making sure you know."
"Yeah we need to talk anyway."
He laughed and kept driving.

Melanie:
"Yea mama I know how to get there." I said looking in the rear view to her in the backseat.
I graduated two weeks ago so I was feeling pretty good. I already knew Corahn would be here and I was a little nervous but at the same time I didn't give a fuck.
After about fifteen minutes we arrived at the staples center. I parked the car and we walked into the family section.
As we found a seat I checked my phone.
Javaughn: Hey we're here now can we sit with y'all?
Me: We?
Javaughn: Me and Corahn...
Me: Yeah we're in section S1.
Javaughn: Cool.
"Amaya's boyfriend is coming to sit with us...and his friend." I said to my parents.
"Boyfriend?"
"Yeah."
"Hmm." They nodded and continued to play with Cameron.
After five minutes Javaughn and Corahn walked over to where we were seated.
"Hey Melanie." Javaughn said.
"What's up Javaughn." I smiled hugging him.
I introduced him to my parents and sat down ignoring Corahn as he sat behind me.
"Hey Melanie..." Corahn said. I ignored him and watched the graduates walk onto the floor and sit down.

Corahn:
This was defiantly going to be an awkward night with Melanie since she's already ignoring me. I wonder if her parents know I'm the lucky father of her child. I sat quietly scrolling thorough my phone until the dean adviser took the microphone to get started. I would just have to wait till later to talk to Melanie, but I need to talk to her before she leaves back to Atlanta.
