My daughter

Im so proud of you on this day. I cant believe your graduating already. It feels like just yesterday you were a baby. I remember holding you in my arms for the first time. I was so scared, i didnt know if i would be able to be a good father to you i didnt know much of anything. but the one thing i knew was that i loved you with everything i had.  To this day that hasnt changed a bit. You are the most ambitious person i know. you have always known exactly what you want and once your heart is set on it there is no turning back. Im so blessed to have such an amazing daughter. I wish nothing but the best for you from her on out. Baby girl im so proud to be your father. I know we havent been very close in the last few years but i want you to know you havee always been my first priority in life. Everything ive accomplished since you were born has been for you. So today i want to give you the gift that will keep giving for the rest of your life until you decide to pass it down to your child. Read the second page to this letter.  I love you baby girl! congradulations and i hope this helps you move forward in life. 

 

I folder the letter up and stuck it in my purse. I didnt want to read the second page until i graduated. I looked in the last bag and saw a book. I scrunched my face up then opened the book to see photos. I smiled thinking he must have put a lot of work into this book. There were photos of me when i was a baby on up until a few weeks ago. Some of the pictures were from my facebook. I smiled. I looked down at my phone and the time said 12:43. i put the book back in the bag. I ran over to my closet grabbing my heels i was wearing to graduation. I ran out of the house yelling "be back later!" I got to the school at 12:58. Jas and storm were standing in the hall outside the gym talking. "we were wondering if you were coming." jas said. "well yea why wouldnt i?" i said happily. "cause you are always late." storm joked. We walked into the gym to see all of our classmates. The emotions started to hit me when they started lining us up in alphebetical order. I realized for the first time things were about to change forever.

 

chapter 14*****Finish chapter***

 I Threw my hat into the air screaming. A tear fell down my face. I ran over to storm because she was closest to me. "OMG I CANT BELIEVE WE FINALLY MADE IT!" she screamed jumping up and down. "i know right! woooo!" i yelled laughing. I looked around to see if my family was coming on the field. I saw my dad first. I had never seen him smile so big. He ran up to me picking me up spinning me around "Im so proud of you!" he yelled over the crowd. I started to laugh. He put me down. "thank you daddy." i said smiling. My mom was standing beside him when he put me down. "my baby finally did it and with a 3.9 gpa wooooo!" she yelled clapping. I smiled turning my head away. All there compliments were flooding me. Ty started walking over to us. He had flowers in his hand. "congrats shortie." he said handing me the roses. I hugged him tight. "thank you!" i said still holding on to him. My whole family come down on the field yelling and congradulating me. My mom took so many pictures i thought i was permanately scared from the flash. My favorite picture was a picture of me holding my diploma cover and my dad and ty standing on my sides both smiling big. My second favorite picture was a picture with my mom. We didnt take many pictures together but she looked so happy in the picture. It reminded me of when my parents were still together. After all the pictures I said my good byes to my family. Ty and i were about to leave my parents when my dad pulled me to the side. "One more gift." he said smiling. I shook my head. "dad no more. you already bought me a car and gave me something in your letter and a new phone dad no more gifts. I graduated high school not college." i said laughing. "alana i would give you the world everyday if i could. This is the last one." he said hugging me with one arm. He pulled out his wallet. "the card i gave you earlier is for college expenses. This is for you for tonight. Go have a blast. be careful but have the night of your life!" He said smiling big. He handed me a stack of money out of his wallet. I shook my head trying to hand it back. I wasnt doing anything because of my head like he told me. "dad i cant take this. I have to take it easy remember." i said trying to give it back. "you can have a great time taking it easy baby girl. trust me. go have fun!" he said walking away. I stood there shaking my head. I unzipped my gown a little and stuck the money in my dress zipping it back up. ty was at his car waiting for me. I had parked my car at his house before graduation. I couldnt form the words to tell him what my dad had just done. I unzipped my gown taking it off and put it in the back seat. I pulled out the money and started counting it. "holy shit bae. did you just rob a bank?" he joked. "my dad gave it to me as his last gift." i said counting it. There was four thousand and eighteen dollars. I gasp when i finished counting it. "how much?" ty ask. "four thousand eighteen." i said shaking my head. "damn. well that helps your college fund a lot bae. thats really good." he said smiling. "no." i said shaking my head in shock still. "he already gave me his contribution to my college fund on a debit card. i havent looked to find out how much yet but im scared to see honestly. He told me to take this and enjoy my night." i said in complete shock. Ty looked at me with his eyebrows arched. "damn shortie mr. r isnt playing. wish my dad would have done some shit like that. well what are you wanting to do tonight?" he said pulling into his driveway. "i really didnt want to do anything. I kind of just wanted to chill here tonight and watch movies." i said sighing. "we still can bae." he said smiling. "hell no we're not. im tyring to come up with a plan as we speak." i said laughing. "well lets go in the house first then we will come up with a plan." he said getting out. I stepped out of the car. I was decent on heels but they always hurt my feet. I walked slowly up the steps to the front door. Ty had already made it in the house when i opened the front door. I stepped in to find the livingroom covered with red and black balloons. I covered my mouth laughing. I walked through the ballons the best i could looking for ty. The hall had red streamers everywhere. "ty what's going on?" i ask but got no reply. I walked into the bedroom to find the bed full of red gift bags. I looked around cautiously. I walked over to the bed. I opened a bag on the edge. In the bag there was a pair of white converse shoes. I smiled big putting them back in the bag and sitting it on the floor. "tyler!" i yelled. He didnt answer. I sighed and went to the next bag. In the next four bags i found a green jacket, a white tank top, a pair of skinny jeans to match the pants and a hand bag to match. The bed was still full of bags. I looked around a little nervous. "Tyler!" i yelled again. This time he answered "what!" he sounded so close yet so far away. "where are you?" i yelled. "open the bag at the top of the bed on your pink pillow." he yelled. i rolled my eyes. I grabbed the bag. it wasnt too big but the bag was a little heavy. I pulled out a ipad with ty's face on it. I started to laugh. "what the hell ty. did you buy this?" i ask talking to the screen. "yea. lets just say i did a lot of shopping this year." he said smiling. I shook my head. "where are you?" i ask. "finish opening the bags." he said. I put the ipad down where he could see me opening the bags. The more i opened bags the more i noticed things i had looked at or said i wanted but never had the time to go get. Then i got to the big bag in the middle. In the bag was a picture frame with pictures of ty and i. pictures that i didnt even know exsisted. In the middle was the picutre we had taken at the park a few days ago. I gasp in shock of the pictures. There were even pictures from the party in the frame. I looked over all the pictures a few time before looking back on the ipad. "ohh ty i love it!" i said quietly. "keep going. your almost finished." he said. I sighed and put the picture frame down. I had already gotten so many things. From clothes to shoes to braclets to backpacks and purses. I opened the last few bags finding other clothes and shoes. When i got to the last bag it was small. I looked at the screen and ty winked. I opened the bag finding a small box. In the box was a silver infinity ring. I looked a little closer to read the words in the band. It said My promise. I smiled putting it on. Ty finally walked in the room. I couldnt help but smile. He had did all this before even knowing we would be back together. He really loved me. It wasnt even about the material things he had bought. It was simply about the time he spent buying it. The way he worked so hard to pay his bills and go to school but still found the time and money to spoil me, not knowing if i would walk away or not. Maybe he knew i wouldnt maybe he didnt but either way it made me love him more. He walked over to stand in front
