Aaliyah Haughton is at the start of her career, everything is going just fine for now.... It's always a rocky road so see what happens in her personal life as love gets in the way.
I carefully walked up the stage to get my diploma. I'm graduating from Detroit high school for fine & performing arts, with a 4.0 GPA. After receiving my diploma I turned towards the crowd, smiling while they cheered for me and others. I finally did it.
After the ceremony I took a picture with my principal, Denise Davis cotton.

"Congratulations Aaliyah, continue doing what your doing" she said and hugged me.
I smiled "Thank you so much!" I let go and walked over towards my best friend kidada, swinging my arm over her shoulder "We did it!" I squealed.
"I know" she hugged me.
"Congratulations super star! I'm proud of you" My big brother rashad said coming over to me with flowers.
I laughed and hugged him "Thanks shad"
I then saw my baby girl running up to me with my parents walking behind her. She ran into my arms screaming "Congratulations mommy! You did it" She giggled.
Did I mention I have a daughter? I had her during sophomore year with my boyfriend devante. Everyone expected me to just drop out since I was young. I'll admit it wasn't easy taking care of her, maintaining my school work, and having a career but that only made me work harder. She's my everything. Devante rarely comes around, but she knows who her dad is.
"Thank you baby" I said kissing her all over the face.
"I'm so proud of you baby, this is a lot but you pulled through" my mom said as her and my dad hugged me "I knew you could do it" my pops said.
I smiled in awe "I'm proud of you too kidada"
"Thank you Mr.haughton" she hugged him.
My eyes wandered around looking for Sariyah until I saw her and rashad over at the snack table. I chuckled shaking my head.
"So are we going to Tammy's graduation party tonight?" Kidada asked pulling me to the side.
I nodded slowly "For sure but I have to see if my parents will watch sariyah"
"Why your parents always watching her? have you seen or talked to devante?"
I gave her a look "Now you know he isn't worry about neither one of us" I rolled my eyes "he irks me"
