Go...
Elijah was my best friend. We were close, so close, we did everything together. Our parents are close, best friends even, we grew up together. He's my neighbor and I have to see him at every event and gathering my parents hold. I have to see him for school, we carpool with each other even. It hurts to see him everyday and pretend I don't miss my best friend but what he said that day stuck with me. My child like mind didn't want an explanation at the time, and I'm still too stubborn to talk to him.
It's been 10 years since that day, we were so tiny so carefree. He tried to reach out but I rejected, I was too caught up in my emotions to talk to him or even face him. For a seven year old, I was really persistent to avoid him, afraid that I'd burst in tears just looking at him.
Him. His perfect smile. His perfect hair. His personality. His deep brown eyes that hold so much emotion that you can't depict. The rings that adorn his hand. The tattoo on his neck. His skin like a canvas ready to be painted on.
He was perfect. He is perfect. It would be a lie if I said I didn't find him attractive even just a little. Before my mind started to wonder again, I was snapped out of my thoughts by my sister.
"Faye! We're here." My sister Índiago and our cousin August, we're taking me to get my hair done because my family's celebrating my birthday today so I can celebrate with my dad tomorrow. The only downside is I have to celebrate with Elijah and Elayne. I love Elayne though, she's my best friend, too bad she has to be related to that asshole.

~Three Hours later~
We were walking back to the car when I got a phone call from my mom. "Where are you guys?, the party starts in an hour." She sounded a little stressed as she continued "Danyi just came with the cakes, and we're setting up the tables. We need more hands so please hurry." Danyi is my mom's best friend aka Elijah's mother, she's very sweet and pretty.
"Yeah we're on our way now, see you soon!" I said as I jumbled the words out my mouth.
"Who was that?" August asked. "It's mom, she said to hurry cause she needs more help with decorations" I sighed. I blocked out the conversation my sister and August were having, my mind just started thinking aimlessly. The party was 6:30, we still have time people will start to show up atleast at 7:00.
"Hey Índi, can you take a picture of me with the car and flowers?" I asked while taking out my phone. "Yeah sure, gimme your phone." I handed her my phone and started to pose.
"Thanks, let's go before mom panics even more." I said while cracking a smile. I decided to post some pics on my instagram.
