Chapter 7

Saturday came and went, and there had been no word from Chelsea. Raven sat by her phone practically all weekend, biting her nails, waiting for someone to call with bad news, but there was nothing.

It was Sunday, and Raven was sitting in her bedroom sulking. Tanya suddenly knocked and came in with some laundry. "Hey Raven, I'm just bringing the clothes I washed for you."

"Thanks Mom." Raven said softly.

Tanya set the clothes down and sat next to her daughter on the bed. She knew that something had happened between Raven and Chelsea. Eddie had said something about them fighting before he consumed an entire box of 'Twinkies.' "So, you wanna tell me what happened between you and Chelsea?"

Raven hesitated for a moment, and then gave in. Maybe her mother would know what to do. "It's about this guy that Chelsea's dating, Jason Miles."

"What about him?"

"I had a vision that he was getting drunk. Mom, he's only seventeen."

Tanya listened, wide eyed.

"Eddie and I tried to warn Chelsea, but she doesn't care. She was like, 'I called him and he promised not to drink, so it's okay' but it's not okay Mom. Chelsea went out with him last night, and I guess everything went fine, but what if he drinks some other time?"

"Well, did you explain this to Chelsea?"

"Yes, but she seems to trust Jason," she muttered sourly, "more than she trusts me and Eddie."

"I'm sure that's not true. That's what the fight was about?"

"Yeah." Raven sighed. "And I got mad and told Chelsea that I didn't care what she did and I really think that I hurt her feelings. Mom what do I do? I'm so afraid that something bad is going to happen."

"Have you had any other visions?"

"No, but I just have this feeling that something is wrong with this guy."

Tanya sighed and pursed her lips in concentration. "Well, I could have a talk with Chelsea's parents."

"No. They're out of town for the next two weeks."

Tanya rolled her eyes. Why were these people always away?

"If you want, I can talk to Chelsea, explain to her the dangers of letting someone drink and drive."

"No Mom, if she knew that I told you, she'd never forgive me."

"Well, then…we'll just have to find another way."

Raven nodded.

"But, you can't let Chelsea slip away from you. If you want to keep her safe, you have to keep her close."

"What does that mean?"

"Call Chelsea, apologize, and see how the date went. If Chelsea is going out with this Jason Miles again, we're going to make sure that he doesn't drink."

"How?"

"Don't worry baby girl," Tanya said, giving Raven a comforting hug, "You let Mama take care of that."

"Okay."

"All right. I got some more laundry to do. Call Chelsea okay?"

Raven nodded and went for her phone.

Tanya smiled and left the room, her mind racing. Jason was going to get the lecture he needed.

Raven breathed in deeply before dialing Chelsea's number.

After two long rings, Chelsea answered, "Hello?"

"Hey Chels, it's me." Raven said softly.

"Oh. Hi Rae."

There were a few moments of awkward silence before Raven spoke up. "So, how was your date with Jason?"

"Why do you care?" Chelsea's words stung.

"I don't…I do. I want to know."

"Well, Mom, you don't have to worry. Jason was sober the whole time and I had a wonderful night."

"I'm sorry Chelsea. You have to know that I thought I was doing the right thing. I care about you girl. You're…you're my best friend and I didn't want to see you get hurt."

Raven waited for Chelsea to respond, but when she didn't, Raven continued. "And what I said in school…I was angry and stupid and it just came out. I didn't mean a word of it, I swear."

"You know, it really hurts my feelings when you guys don't trust my judgment." Chelsea said bitterly.

Raven shook her head. "I do trust your judgment Chels. I just don't think that you're really seeing the danger that you could be in with this guy. He's an underage drinker, and that's his poor judgment, not yours."

"I know that Rae. But Jason kept his promise, so he can make the right choice. I just have to make sure that he keeps making the right choice."

"But that shouldn't be your job. The boy has got to make his own decisions…"

Chelsea sighed heavily and Raven quickly stopped. "Listen, I didn't call to pick a fight with you Chelsea. I called to apologize and I am sorry. Do you forgive me?"

Chelsea waited a few beats before answering. "Okay, but you have to promise to let me handle my boyfriend. And don't worry about me so much."

It took Raven a minute but she reluctantly agreed. "Okay, okay. I promise."

"Okay."

"So…how was your date really?"

Chelsea almost immediately cheered up. "Oh, it was great. First he took me to this new restaurant that opened on Main Street and then we…"

Raven sighed as Chelsea gushed about her date. She promised that she would back off Jason…

"…on Friday we have another date."

…but that didn't mean she wasn't going to keep an eye on him.
