Elijah

@dreomo

We all just finished cleaning up Maya's house and went back home to freshen up.

We planned to go to the fun fair for a little day out together.

I got out of the shower and fixed my hair. I went back into my room and put on some lotion.

I put on a cute outfit and done my make up. After I was done I went into the kitchen and poured myself some cereal and fruit.

Naomi walked in wearing a short black T-shirt dress and some knee high boots with her beautiful natural hair.

"Hey sexy" I smiled sitting down. She stuck her tongue out and grabbed her car keys from the bowl next to the door.

"Wait where you going?" I frowned

"I gotta go pick something up, I'll meet you guys there" she smiled and left out.

I shrugged and carried on eating. Once I was done I washed everything up and grabbed my purse, phone and keys.

I made my way to Elijah grandma house and pulled into the driveway.

Before I could even knock on the door it opened up and I got greeted by a big hug.

I looked down and saw Elijah little sister London. "Oh my gosh Londooon" I grinned and hugged her back tight. "I had no idea you came over here"

"I came to visit Grandma, I missed you so much" she smiled

"I missed you too you've grown so much boo, you 15 now?"

She nodded and her grandma came in. "Nev is that you baby?"

"Yes ma'am" I smiled and hugged her.

"Oh look at you, come in baby Elijah getting ready" she lead me into the front room to sit down.

"You want anything to eat, I just made some Mac & Cheese"

"Uh no thanks grandma I ate before left". She gave me that look, that look all grandmas give you when you decline their offer of food.

"Okay I guess I'll have some" I smirked and she went into the kitchen. Just then Elijah came downstairs.

"Wassup ma, you ready to go?"

"Grandma putting me some Mac&Cheese"

He smacked his teeth and sat on the couch as he went on his phone. "Who was that nigga from yesterday?"

"Just a friend of mine, why?"

"Nah I juss recognise him from somewhere" he shrugged and Grandma came back in with it in a to go box.

We said our byes and headed to the fair. When we got there Maya and Naomi were already waiting at the entrance.

"Hey guys" Maya smiled and we greeted back. We decided to go on a Ferris wheel first.

2 hours later

"Cmon Nai we loosing" I yelled. We were playing Alien Raid where you had to shoot down some Aliens and we were going against Elijah and Maya. The winner gets a giant teddy bear.

Elijah shot the last alien down and Maya laughed. The stand owner handed the bear to Maya and I rolled me eyes.

"Look at you hatin and shit" Elijah joked.

"Shut up nigga you cheated anyways" Naomi snapped and he started laughing. We decided to get some food and sit down.

"What's good with you and Tia tho?" Naomi asked Elijah.

He smacked his teeth and waved her off.

"What happened boy" I asked biting into my hotdog

"She a hoe, aight?. You were right" he mumbled looking at me and I danced in my seat a little.

"I'm always right nigga, remember that" I smirked.

"But uh Maya I saw that nigga at the party the one you pointed out at McDonald's" I stated.

"Mhm he came through and he just started talking to me and all. He asked for my number and we've been talking a little" she gushed.

"He fine tho" Naomi laughed

"Right!" she yelped.

"Who else I gotta watch?" Elijah questioned turning his head to me.

"No one yet boy calm down" I giggled and he nodded.

After a while I dropped Elijah home and went home. As soon as I got in I packed my suitcase ready for Florida tomorrow.

I was picking some tops out  and something fell out from my closet. I picked it up and it was picture of my dad holding me when I was just born.

My dad ran a drug cartel in Florida, he built it up all on his own after both his parents died when he was young from then he became well respected and known in Florida. He met my mama and they had Michael then got married a cute little hood wedding.

They then had me and Caleb but a while after Caleb was born things started to get really bad and more dangerous. My dad and his people took down a Man called Ali he also owned a big cartel. Alis people came for us and killed my dad and uncle. They took everything.

Obviously my mom didn't take it well and she had to start providing for us and started working as a nurse. She spiralled into deep depression and started taking drugs and being abusive towards us. She left us and we got taken into a foster home expect from Michael because he was 18 by then. Ever since I was 12 I ain't seen her.

I smiled at the picture and tucked it under my other clothes. I miss him like crazy, he was my protector.
