As much as I've shared a sense of pain I know Isaiah shared even worse, he had his whole future planned out for the two of them ,then she just disappears
Faith , Elijah , Isaiah and Tinashe
The four have been through a lot , but with Christ they f...
" What if she doesn't come , then what " I said looking down at my phone
Tomorrow is my 20th birthday and I'm gathering all my friends from school to come and hangout.
" That's not like faith and when was the last time you texted her " Isaiah said giving me a knowing look
" And when was the last time you spoke to T-" I just paused before I could say anything . We haven't spoken about Tinashe ever since her funeral
" Just say it . I haven't heard that name in a while " he says as a tear slips down
" Isaiah I'm sorry " I said as I went to confront him before he starts to sob
" Okay let's make a deal . You text faith and then I'll visit Tinashe " he said
" Okay "
Phone conversation ( E- Elijah , F - Faith )
E- Hey Faith , I know we haven't spoken in a while but I just want to say I'm having a birthday gathering with everyone close from school and I was wondering would you come . It's okay if you don't I completely understand. Well that it . Bye
Typing ...
" She's typing " I said panicking while Isaiah just laughs
F- hey Elijah , I would love to come .
E- great I'll send you the details
F- great . Is it okay for me to bring a friend ?
E- yeah absolutely
Phone conversation over
" She said shes coming " I said while jumping up and down like a lil kid of
" You're acting like you arent going to be nervous around her " Isaiah said while rolling his eyes
"When are you going to see Tinashe " I said
" Probs after our game on Saturday , me you and Faith can go down to Manchester and visit her " Isaiah mentioned
-------------
It's the day of my birthday and I'm getting ready . I've gotten gifts , messages , embarrassing pictures of me when I was younger .
I decided to wear navy green cargos with a white top pairing it with my white socks and white Air forces

After I finish I hear my doorbell ring . As i open the door I see it's Isaiah. As I open the door wider for him to come in he starts shouting
" HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO MY BEST FRIEND OF ...OFF... How long have we known eachother " he said looking confused while I just laugh
" We've know each other for 15 years " I said while wiping my laughing tears
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY " HE SAID
"Thank you " I said
" Is Faith still coming yh I talked to her this morning she said shes coming at 7:30pm and she's coming here I gave her the address , I thought we could go together .if thats okay " be said while I smile just plastered across my face
" Wait it's 7:30pm in 5 minutes " I said while panicking
Why do I keep panicking around her . I haven't seen her in a few years . What if she still has that effect on me.
As I am still panicking I turn around to see Faith , Isaiah and I think her friend she mentioned she was being was just starting at me .
" Hey Eli " she said with a smile while coming closer to and wrapping her hand around my neck as I wrap my hand around her waist .
Did I mention I missed that Voice
" Hey faith " I said with a smile plaster on my face
Her scent , her voice , her touch , her smile I've missed all of it.
" Alright we get it you missed eachother , let's go " he said in a annoyed tone
Why he gotta be in everyone's business but when im in his business it's a problem
" I'm Isabella by the way " Isabella said and we introduce ourselves
-------------------
As we get to the location we greet everyone and began to eat . Isaiah rented out the whole restaurant . While we was in the middle of eating I know who I am by Sinach . We all got up and just vibe to our childhood
As everyone is dancing I see faith just being happy , I need to tell her something and I ask her something .
As i make my way to Faith I grab her hand I lead her outside and we just sit . As we just sit in silence well not for long I began to talk
" Hey Faith , I've missed you , I still do " I said as I just admired her beauty
" Hey Eli , I've missed you ,I still do " she said while giving me the biggest smile why looking in my eyes
" Remember before you left you said something to me in Shona can you tell me what it means please " I asked
" I'm not going to tell you yet " she said as she slightly laugh
" I heard your moving here , is it true " I asked hoping it's a yes
" Yes I am and I've found a place " she said proudly
" Faith ,you have an affect on me that know one else has since year 6 , the way our eyes connect like a puzzle , the way your skin shines in the sunlight . You're kind , caring , happy , beautiful . you've been on my mind every single day " I said
" Elijah , i feel the same way but I want to focus on my career right now " she said
" I will wait as long as it takes even if it's takes months , years , hours I'll be here ." I said while seeing a smile on her face .
" By the way me and Isaiah we are going to Manchester , to visit family , look around our childhood and to visit Tinashe . You wanna come " I said . I shouldn't have mentioned Tinashe
" I-i would love too , thanks Elijah " she said while embracing me in a hug .after our hug all our friends came outside.
" Time for prayers , faith will you say it " Isaiah said looking at her
" Alright everyone in a circle and grab eachother hands " she said
---------
After the prayer everyone went home , me and Isaiah dropped faith and Isabella home. And the we went ours .
As I got home I went straight to the shower and did my night time routine . After I got changed I sat on my bed and texted Isaiah
Phone conversation ( i- Isaiah , E-elijah )
E- hey Isaiah , I gotta tell you something
E- boy , answer my text before I tell your mama you broke her favourite plate and you know your mama don't play
I- leave me alone. What do you want ?
E- Faith is coming with us tomorrow
I- is that it , really . I already knew
E- imma go read my Bible then go to bed . Goodnight Isaiah
I- goodnight

After my talk with Isaiah I read a few pages Of my Bible then I went to sleep
